War of the Gods and Demons: Chapter 18
…
Ever since the demons appeared in the world, the highways and most of the major roads connecting the cities and towns have been ruined by the wars and the appearance of the large demons. This has caused too much devastation to the current world that it looks like an apocalyptic event that would end all existence on the planet.
As the 'bus' of Xin Ja and his group passes through the ruined highway, they could see some of the already rusty vintage-looking cars everywhere.
They could even see some blackened skeletons still on the seat, they just could not imagine the horror these people have experienced while trapped in this place at the time of the appearance of the demons.
"Those years ago… it is still fresh in my mind… I was with my mother at that time… Luckily I was able to drag her to a building… If not, I would have lost my only family…" a researcher commented while looking out the window.
In fact, everyone on the bus has already stopped their work as they are both worried and curious about the path they are currently taking.
Outside the bus, riding on their mounts are three soldiers showing a pensive expression while being wary of their surroundings.
Even their mounts are uneasy as they continue traversing the road.
Suddenly, the mount walking beside the bus stopped as it began to panic.
"There is danger up ahead!" called the soldier as he quickly stopped.
He has already sheath his sword and held the CAW with both hands while looking warily.
The bus also stopped as the driver looks at the front. Xin Ja exited the bus and quickly scanned his surroundings.
As soon as his Absolute Sense touches the 100 meters distance, he suddenly frowns because he has sensed an energy fluctuation.
"This is not a demon's energy… This is a rune formation's energy…" he muttered as he took as few steps forward.
"Whoever, it is up ahead deactivate your array field and let us pass… If not, then I will indiscriminately shoot… if you are killed, then that is your fault. I will only give you 3 minutes to decide…" Xin Ja shouted.
Upon hearing his words, those inside the bus showed an expression of understanding of the situation, while the soldiers outside on their mounts feels a bit confused.
"So there are awakened beings upfront… Hmm… Bandits maybe?" asked Gun Mace on the side.
"Damn it… We not only need to be wary of the demons, even other humans would do such atrocities… I heard of such a thing, but I did not believe it until today…" a researcher said.
"Well, we would always experience something new every day won't we?" another one chimed in.
"What are you guys doing here chatting? Prepare the weapons!" Gun Mace suddenly barked at the people cramping at the front of the bus.
Upon hearing this, one of them quickly walked to the side of the bus and then hopped on a tube-like metal.
She was then pushed up where half of her body is elevated.
Best
She then wore goggles and then held on to a controller.
As soon as her figure was lifted, two MCAWs that looks twice as big as the normal one also appears. This is the 360 turret defense of the bus.
As soon as it appears, the soldiers below the bus noticed it and subconsciously look at their CAWs.
"I wonder how powerful those things are?" one of them muttered.
"I think those things could destroy even a building…" the other one chimed in.
2 minutes later…
A white-robed man suddenly walked out of the formation while showing a faint smile on his face.
As soon as he walked out, the turrets are already pointed in his direction.
"My friends… I did not know that you are passing through this path… I never have any… visitors lately…" the man said with a smile.
"We are the army from the snowy village… We request that you let us pass…" Xin Ja said with a smile.
"Hmm… That would be a problem. Well, we actually can talk about this. How about we do a little bargain?" the man said.
"I am Artus…" the man introduced.
"Adam…" Xin Ja extended his hand.
The two shake hands but Artus suddenly squeezes a bit while showing a fake smile on his face.
But how could a mere E-Rank defeat Xin Ja?
He did not even budge and just looks at Artus calmly. His reaction made Artus feel a bit flustered. He is wearing a white gown to portray that he is weak Awakened that did not have a choice but to dabble in the strange runes.
Those E and D ranks that dabble in such study are weak and feeble than their counterpart. So he knew that the guy would lower his guard and would not expect this silent attack.
But who would have known that the guy would actually not be affected by his move?
"What is your bargain…" Xin Ja lets go of the man's hand and casually asked.
Artus felt a bit flustered and looked at the strange bus, and then at the three soldiers with their strange weapons.
"Give me some of those weapons… about 20 and how they are made… then you guys can pass…" Artus suddenly said while pointing at the weapons in the soldier's hands.
Xin Ja lifted his hand and a CAW appears in his hand.
He then pointed it at a tree and released threw bursts.
Ptaff! Ptaff! Ptaff!
The almost silent burst and whooshing of the bolts made the hair on Artus' neck suddenly stand on end.
But what horrified him is what happened to the tree that was shot.
The tree was destroyed like it was nothing.
"With the power of such a weapon, do you think we are here to discuss any condition with you?" Xin Ja asked with a crafty smile.
Then in front of Artus, the weapon disappears making the man show a far more horrified expression.
"This… This is all just a misunderstanding… I'm sorry if I offended you guys…" he suddenly said in a panic.
"We are just stranded people here trying to survive. Demons are rampant in this area, we are just lucky to create a protective barrier which conceals us from the demons…" he explained.
Xin Ja nodded his head and then patted his shoulder of Artus.
"Lead the way…"
The strength he used is only a fraction of his strength but it almost felt like a hammer to Artus as his expression turned pale.
He looks in the direction where the array formation is and waves his hand in panic.
Upon waving, he saw the array formation slowly disappearing.
Xin Ja could now detect around 50 people armed with rifles and swords. Most of them are F-Rank awakened but there are 2 of them that are at the D-Rank.
"What is happening Artus?!" shouted one of the D-Rank awakened as he walked near Xin Ja.
"We… we have to let them pass…" Artus said with a trembling tone.
"Haha… Are you crazy? Look at that thing… We can take that and then their weapons…" the man said with a smug grin on his face.
As soon as he said this, the soldiers behind Xin Ja already pointed their CAWs to the man and the group behind him.
"Step closer and we will make sure that you all will not have a complete corpse…" a soldier said with a stern voice.
"Ohh… I'm too scared… Hehehe…" the man said teasingly which made the rest of the men around him laugh.
At this time, Xin Ja showed a faint smile on his face. But then he looks down and picks a few pebbles in the ground.
When the man saw this he jeered.
"Are you going to hurt me with that? Oh no, I'm so scared!" the man said as he takes out a talisman from his vest.
He then grinned as he showed it to Xin Ja.
"Do you know what this is?" he asked smugly.
"Protection talisman… Rank-C." one of the soldiers muttered with a frown.
"Hehe… Good, we all have such a thing… so… do you think you can still defeat us with your puny weapons?" the man mocked.
Flick! Flick! Flick!
Swoosh!!! Swoosh!!! Swoosh!!!
Xin Ja suddenly flicks the stones in the direction of the soldiers, and before everyone knew it, several cries of pain could be heard from behind them.
The soldiers were startled and quickly look behind them.
There they saw five men lying on the ground holding their hands and legs.
This scene made everyone stunned as they showed disbelief on their faces.
"You idiots…" Artus could not help but scold the man in his mind.
He was trying to warn them, but they seem to misunderstand his signal. He could not talk back to the man because he is one of their leaders. If he talks back, then he might suffer punishment from the guy.
He could not do anything and just looks at his teammates with helplessness.
"I think our bandits days are over…" is what he could only think while his eyes landed on the calmly smiling young man beside him.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
