Chapter 5 - Second Wave

Clark still technically could go duel someone in the battle pavilion but decided to wait for two hours since he'd already gotten to fight the guard…

[Aria Skill up!]

[Healing Light has reached level 2!]

Clark smiled and ordered his girls to come back as he paid attention at the long pathway from the large tower in the center of City Z…

Thousands of acrid expressions were on the faces of the guards beginning to head to the gates… They weren't excited about having to fight a new wave of monsters…

The waves were always random so even the leaders never knew who they had to fight… However, apparently, there was some new news spreading like wild fire…

"City C has already been destroyed!"

"Shit… doesn't that mean we'll have more portals to deal with! Those bastards… What did they have for the first wave?"

"Dinosaurs…" Another man laughed as he shook his head… "They were unlucky enough to have to fight C class creatures! I heard that even now people are getting devoured by tyrannosaurus"

"Heh… Oh well," Another man cackled as he walked up to the gate… "That's pretty rare right…"

Clark pat the man on the shoulder, coming up to him with the three girls next to him… "It's pretty rare… C rank creatures usually come after the sixth wave… City C got super unlucky…"

"Eh… I just got some footage…" Another guard almost hurled as a tyrannosaurus stuffed three men into its mouth and smiled as it chewed… "Ewww…. Damn, we better not have to fight these things…"

To be in the C class, you had to be level 30 usually, and then you could perform a trial to get to the C class, which would increase your stats, and abilities, and so much more…

However, Clark wasn't thinking about C class now… If he could make it to E class, he'd be able to get two more girls to control, which would allow him to hopefully survive for a much longer time…

He smiled and focused on the gates, selecting [open] as he got to the doorway…

The gates then opened, causing the guards to gulp as he walked out past the corpse of wolves that were being eaten by cyber vultures… It was pretty disgusting, but it was the circle of life…

His body had also probably been eaten by the cyber vultures, which had allowed him to reincarnate… They were disgusting and had large red heads with black feathers… They also had extremely piercing eyes like they were waiting for you to die….

He walked past them with his girls, standing a few meters behind them as they began to shake….

The portals were getting larger, looking like dozens of suns that were somehow appearing in the moonlight…. He'd always wondered if he could destroy the portals, but had never dared try…

Anyways, now wasn't the time to be thinking about that… he turned back to Aria as she nervously played with a rock, pretending it was an ice cream cone…

"You… you promise we won't die…"

"Promise… Don't I feed you well?" Clark smiled and pet back her blue hair… "You are already my favorite three characters, and I've been around for a long time…"

"Liar… I smell bullshit…." Grey said as she fixed her leather straps… "Anyway, I liked the kimono better… It was easier to move in…"

"He's fine with me as long as we get ice cream… However, Nadia… what are you doing?"

Nadia picked up the dirt and smelled it, smiling as she looked over at Aria who was like a little sister to her… They'd met a few years ago back in a kennel - a place where fox girls were sold.

It was nice seeing that they could still be together before they died…

The plague, after all, was a horrible thing that changed the entire world… Millions of people in the 26 cities were killed, and her friends weren't an exception…

"Heh… I'm just smelling the dirt to see if there is anything valuable on this field… If there were resources to be dug up, I'd be able to tell…"

"Nothing valuable is here, but there is stuff in that forest…" Clark pointed over to Redsteam forest. It was known for its red leaves and large trees. "However, if you smell anything valuable, please let me know…"

"Foolish Clark… There is definitely something valuable here…." Nadia pointed over at a boulder where the cannons were normally placed…. "The other leaders probably kept it from you…"

"For thirty life times?" Clark paused and saw a man with three rhinoceros around him… "Was it possible someone really hid a treasure from all the other leaders… We made an agreement to tell the truth…"

"You're as naïve as a fox girl…" Nadia smiled as one of the portals let out a large din, sounding like something horrendous was getting tossed out of it… "I think you got tricked… Just like us fox girls got tricked into following you humans…"

"We didn't trick you… You earned it…" Clark shook his head… "You know what… you're probably right… Our treatment of other species is probably why the plague happened…"

"Smile!" A girl came over to Clark and took a photo… "The battle is about to start…"

"Ugh… Jannie! Glad to see we reincarnated in the same city! Now… stop bothering me!"

"Is that how you introduce yourself to a friend…" Jannie sighed as she looked down at her camera… "My system this time sucks… All I can do is copy things for a limited amount of time…"

She snapped her fingers causing another Clark to appear… "Heh… and now I get to watch you die to my hearts content…"

"She's insane…" Aria said as she smiled! "I like her!"
