Chereads / Nero: Biohazard / Chapter 12 - The Beginning After The End.

Chapter 12 - The Beginning After The End.

"They are coming!"

"Ready boys we are going to war!"

"Hahaha..."

Sounds of laughing and explosions are in the area.

"Are you ready Nero? Let's f*cked them all up!"

"I'm sure am ready to go Dream."

Hornnnnnnnnnnn~

"Forward!" said by a man cloated with glowing blue armor like a knight while riding his horse whose also covered in armor.

"Ahhhhhhh~" battle cries came out from both side as they rush forward towards each other with their armor and weapons on hand.

"Fire the cannons!"

Booom~!

Swoooosh~

The cannon was fired and it created whistle sound as it traveled on air.

Booom~!!

It landed at the target causing it to create a craters and massacred the enemies it hit.

"Nice one!"

"Hahaha~ the enemy guild is sure sucks at the game!"

Thud. Thud. Thud. Thud.

Then suddenly, the sound of drums echoed at the battlefield. "Evokers!!! Summon the Vex!" shouted by the enemy guild commander.

Magnificent magic arrays in various colors covered the sky were the enemy Evokers are at.

Swooosh~

A sudden brief rush of wind sweep the battlefield and little creatures at the size of 1 feet came out of those magic arrays.

The little creatures were called Vex and its appearance were quite similar to a human with gray skins and a pair of wings at their back making them able to fly. They also holding a small iron sword. Additionally, Vex can go through walls.

Each magic array is able to summon a small groups of Vex in a number not less than five.

Fortunately, Vex will die after 120 seconds upon summoned by the Evoker.

"Shit!"

"How come they can control hostile mobs such as Evokers and Vex!"

Shouts of frustration came out from the other side.

"Calm down everyone!" shouted by the Gabriel their commander.

All of those shouted went silent as they listen to what their commander in charge is about to say.

"Guild members who have the enchantment of Thorn V came forward and those who do not step back and let those who have Thorn V enchanted armors take the front line to clash with the upcoming Vex!"

"Hahaha... As expected of commander Gabriel!"

Shouts of relieved and morale once again went high.

Those who have Thorn V enchanted armor came forward as they take the frontline. They are only 10 of them but each of them are elites.

BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM!

The cannons were non-stop firing fire charges.

"Halt!" shouted by Gabriel.

"Get in formation! Thorn V enchanted players prepare for impact! The Vex is only 100 meters apart from us!"

"Archers! Support the the frontline and shoot those little devils down!"

The 10 elite players clash against the flying Vex. The Vex couldn't do more damage towards them because of the Thorn V enchantment that causes to reflect 90% of the damage dealt to the user.

One by one the Vex monsters number decreases as their onslaught went in vain.

"Ready! The enemy full force is now less than a hundred meters away from us.

" Ahhhhhhh~!!! "

Boooom~!

Both armies finally clash causing a loud explosion sounds of shields and swords clashing towards each other.

" F*ck you Japanese freaks! " said by a player.

As he said those words, his enemy he clashed with took out a black ball with magma flowing in small gaps throughout the orb and smile.

"Tenno Heika Banzai!" shouted by the enemy guild member.

Booom~!!!

"Shit!"

"The japs freaks have fire charges on their body! Prepare for a bombardment!" shouted by a player.

Booom~ Booom~ Booom~ Booom~

A series of explosions sweep the frontline as suicide bombers ignited the fire charges causing more chaos and blood rain upon the death ridden battlefield. The explosions didnt discriminate between ally or foe as it sweeps everything it can conquer.

"Damn japanese players! Fearless as ever!"

"Hahahaha just expected from Japan."

"We should return the favor, annihilate them!" shouted by the Gabriel.

Cling! Cling!

Sounds of two metals sliding against each other echoes.

"Nero you good body? You didnt take any damage from that right?" asked by his friend Frost.

"Yes, I'm good Frost." replied by Nero.

"!!!"

Then, suddenly, a light beam was lighted skyward and that alerted everyone on Nero's side.

"A beacon has lighted!" shouted by Regan a player from Nero side.

Then the japanese players suddenly went stronger and overpowered some players.

"Someone destroy that beacon that gives buff for the enemies and debuff for us!" said by Gabriel.

"I'll go sir!"

"Me too!"

Shouted by Nero and Frost.

"Good!" replied by Gabriel.

" Take this TNT and light them up at the beacon! Now get your asses to that beacon!"

"Yes sir!" replied from both of them Nero and Frost.

The both of them take the TNT and stored it from their inventory. Each of them have a total of 5 TNT.

They both retreated from the frontline and plan to scout arount in order to find a weak spot were the enemy forces is very weak. They plan to sneak and plant those bombs at the beacon.

After a while, they have finally found a weak spot where the enemy forces is the weakest. It's location was inside of a cave that connected at the top of the hill where the beacon is at.

"Okay, Nero let's do this." Frost said with a smile out of excitement.

"Hmmm... Hmmmm..." Nero nodded.

"Oh wait..." Frost said while he opened his inventory and took something.

"Let's drink this first Nero." Frost said as he handed over a bottle that contains a blue glowing liquid.

"What is this?" Nero asked he took the bottle.

"Just drink it." Frost said as he widen his smile.

"Ok." Nero nodded and drink the suspicious bottle.

"Now we are truly ready to go." said by Frost.

The both of them entered the dark cave and Nero was amazed.

"D-Did you just gave me a bottle of nigh vision potion!" Nero said as his mouth agape.

"Yes." replied by Frost.

"Isn't this stuff expensive?" Asked by Nero.

"Yeah, but I got mine from a quest I did some time ago." replied by Frost.

"Enough chit-chat, the potion only last for only 3 minutes. We should do our job as soon as possible." said by Frost.

"Oh, right." Nero said as he completely forgot about their mission.

Both of them sprinted their way towards the target. The both of them almost got lost inside of the cave with different kinds of routes and dead end inside.

After some time they finaly saw light coming from a torch and voices of players coming from a far.

Unfortunately, the potion duration is only for 120 seconds now.

"We must hurry." said by Frost in a low voice.

"!!!"

Both of them were alerted of the unexpected. Both of them entered in an area contaminated with carrions. A deadly creatures like slimes but have an appearance of grind meat and guts.

Carrions have countless teeths and have no eyes. An apex predator if they bounded together and merge to become a massive creature that weights over 200 kilograms. Despite the size of it, the creature was so agile like it didn't even weight over 200 kilograms.

Killing it with sword is useless because it will just corrode the sword and the only way to kill it was using fire.

Carrions uses echo location to locate its prey making invincibility useless. Once you step on its territory it will hunt you until you or they are too far away from their nest or territory.

Screeeeeech~

"Run!" Both of them shouted as they ran as fast as they can.

Swooosh~

A red tentacle made out of meat hit the floor where the foot of Nero was previously at.

Swooosh~ Swoosh~

The same thing is happening over and over again as they ran away from the chasing Carrion.

"Frost! Do you have a fire charge on you!?" shouted by Nero.

"Unfortunately, No!" replied by Frost.

"Shit! If we die right now the whole guild will be annihilated instead!" said by Nero.

"Just ran towards the enemy and let this creature have fun from them!" said by Frost.

"Nice idea!" replied by Nero as he ran a little faster than before.

30 seconds later...

"I see it! The enemy camp I see it now!" shouted by Nero as joy once again visited him.

"Yeah. Yeah. I can see it too!" replied by Frost as he smile out of joy and relief.

Screeech~!

"!!!"

The players ahead were alerted by the screeching sound and the sound of boulder falling into the ground.

"Shit! A Carrion! Take out the torch and use them as weapons!" shouted by one of the guard player.

"Call for reinforcement from the top! This is an emergency!" ordered by a japanese player.

"Yes, sir!" replied by another player as he ran upstairs.

"Nero hurry get behind those guys and immediately run upstairs. I'll follow you!" said by Frost.

Screeech~!!

The Carrion stopped its advancement as it sense the hot flames from the torches.

"Yes! It's working! Keep this up until reinforcement arrives!" said by a guard.

Nero and Frost stare at each other as if they were communicating through telepathy. In reality, they know what to do without saying it out loud. Both of them grab the 2 torches from the guards who were holding it and destroyed it.

With no more light nor flames, the creature let out one more screech before letting out a bombardment of attacks towards the guards.

The result was too gruesome as the two guards got eaten alive. Fortunately, their deaths were quick, but painful. It only took 5 seconds each to be consumed by the creature and became a part of it as a biomass.

After eating those two the Carrion grown much larger than before. The remaining guards were horrified.

Although they know it was just a video game, but the overall graphics are 100% like the reality. The pain they could felt when injured were only just 10% less than what real injury in reality could be felt. If they are injured they could felt 90% of total actual pain.

While the Carrion do its thing. Nero and Frost had already came upstairs at where the beacon is located. The guards guarding it have decrease to only 10 because 2 squad have already came as reinforcement against the Carrion who became much stronger.

Only 10 seconds left to the invisibility potion duration before its gone, but 10 seconds is enough to assassinate 10 clueless elite players.

Nero took out his diamond sword and Frost also took out his iron axe. Both of them stare at each other once again and decided to take 5 players each.

"Hmmm... Hhmmm..." Nero nodded and sprinted to his first target which located in near southeast of the beacon. He made a stance where his left leg was in front while his right leg is at the back. His sword was aiming at the heart of its target.

Swoosh~

His sword pierced at the armor and hit the heart. Nero retracted his sword away from the target leaving a hole on his chest. The player whose heart got a hole now look at Nero in disbelief as his body collapse at the floor.

Meanwhile, Frost is simple without any stances and he just smack his iron axe at the head of his target causing blood to squirt from his now split head.

"!!!"

The others got alerted by the thud of 2 bodies.

"Enemy attack!" shouted by one of the players.

"Hahaha it will be fun." said by Frost.

"Hmmmmm?" Nero raised his eye brew at he looks at the Frost and the alerted enemy with now weapons on hand.

Nero smirked like a parent tired of babysitting a menace child.

He also raised his sword and went to clash into the enemy.

Before they both clash a sudden explosion send them flying while some went against the wall and got stunned or fell unconscious including Nero and Frost.

Fortunately, both of them didn't got sent flying out of the hill and instead just got stunned due being sent against the wall with so much force.

Nero vision gone blur as he tried to look at where Frost is.

"Frost?" Nero muttered.

"Frost where are you?" Nero asked with weak voice.

"I'm here Nero." replied by Frost.

"You okay dude?" Nero asked worried.

"Nah. I think I broke two ribs." replied by Frost.

"Ah shit bro." Nero replied.

As he tried to stand up, all his remaining strength went into air after looking at what's infront of them.

"Oh no... The beacon leveled up and become level 2." Nero said as all hope is gone.

The previous beacon who is only level 1 and gives small area effect buffs have leveled up into level 2 and now have a shield protecting it from any possible harm including explosions.

Nero went at the window in order to see the battle situation. "Oh no, our army is being pushed back. As this state we would loss the war."

After that, he pick up his sword and went to still stunned and unconscious enemy killing them one by one.

"Frost we lost the war." Nero said to Frost as tears almost came out from his eyes.

"No, none is lost, the battle is still ongoing. Our friends is still fighting." Frost said.

"But now the beacon became untouchable and our 10 TNT bombs is not enough to drain all the energy of the shield barrier." Nero said.

"Let's check the bodies. They might have fire charges on them. We could use it." Frost said.

"But even with those the damage is still not enough." replied Nero.

"No more buts! Just check it!" Frost shouted.

"Okay, Okay I'll do it now." Nero replied.

Nero went checking every corpses body and found only 4 fire charge. "You are right Frost! They have some explosives on them. I found 4 fire charge!"

"Good job Nero! See I told ya there would be something useful on them." Frost said. "Help me get up. I have a plan."

Nero help Frost get up and tied his chest so that his internal injuries will not become worse.

"This is my plan Nero, we will sneak back downstairs and avoid any contact with the people and the monster Carrion. Then, we both will find the pillars of this cave so that if the explosion is large enough. The hill might collapse and if the hill have gone collapse the beacon will go along with it. " Frost explained his plan to Nero.

" Sounds a good plan, but what if it fails? " Nero rebutted.

" Well in that case, we loss the war and also our every rights to this nation." Frost said.

" That won't do. We must secure success in this mission. Millions of Maharlikans fate are on our hands. Let's go do our mission. "Nero said as he's getting ready to finish their mission.

The two of them went to the stairs leading downwards. When they finally got to the location where they left the Carrion, the scene that embraced them was so grotesque with flesh scattered throughout the whole area and a giant meat ball burning in fire at the center of it all. The meat ball look like a hedgehog with all those spears and swords sticking out on its body. Furthermore, those swords have already been corroded with meat tentacles.

"It seems everyone meet annihilation including the Carrion who is now look like a burning meat ball porcupine." Nero said.

"Let's go we must not waste anymore time." Frost said as he ask Nero to hurry up and do not stand by and look at dead corpses.

"Frost wait! I think I found something." said by Nero.

"What is it? We must hurry up. Time is not our friend in here." Frost said.

"Ha Ah! I found an detonating cord that could help us with the explosives." Nero said with joy over written on his face.

"Hahaha nice find Nero! Now let's plant these bombs on those crucial pillars." Frost said.

The both of them went on their seperate ways to find those pillars that could bring down the whole hill and plant the TNT along with the detonating cord.

Fortunately, the detonating cord is long enough to connect all those bombs.

An unknown time passed by...

"Nero you are down?" Frost asked Nero as the both of them reunited at the exit.

"Yes, should we lit them up now?" Nero asked.

"Of course!" replied Frost with excitement.

Then, Nero pull out Flint and Steel out of his inventory and light the detonating bomb.

"We should run as far as we could. I estimate the time those bomb will go off is about 30 seconds." Frost said.

"Yes, Yes, Yes" Nero said as he nodded.

The both of them ran south as fast as they can.
