As me and my clones stepped outside the portal.
What greeted us was not the village we built but a flattened ground and some wood chips.
From the looks of it Elora was gone.
"Sigh, clean up the place and start burning the bodies after getting the useful materials.
After I ordered my clones to burn the bodies inside the portal my clone transmigrated a thought to me.
'there are people coming'
'how many' I asked
'around 20 they looked ragged' my clone said
'wait there for me' I said
'alright' my clone reponded
As I got near To what used to be the entrance of the village
I could hear some people talking.
"May I know who you people are?" Asked the one who appeared to be the leader.
"You should introduce yourself first" I said
As the air grew tenser the leader relented
"My name is Alex nice to meet you"
"My name is... Lexus you can call me Lexus"
"Now how can I help you?" I said
"Do you have food and water can we have some?" Said Alex as he looked at me.
"No we don't, as you can see everything is in ruins" I said as I wave my hand.
"That's unfortunate" sai Alex with a gloomy look.
"Fortunately we found food" said Alex as his originally gloomy appearance transformed into a radiating smile like the sun above.
"You found food?, where" I asked as a looked at the people with him, they don't really look like they have something on them.
They don't even have a bag with them, where did they put the food then, as I looked at them intensely a bad premonition arise from my heart.
"HERE!?!" And just as I was looking at the others the leader, Alex suddenly opened his mouth so wide that his cheeks were torn open and then he bit my head.
All that happened in a split second, I only knew what happened because I can see from what my clones were seeing.
"OPEN FIRE!" I ordered as soon as I got into a new body, I also mentally ordered for them to slowly retreat into a portal.
After all there were twenty of and now there were only thirteen of us, we don't stood a chance if we fight head on.
Fortunately our bullets seems to be working as they had to slow down to block it.
As soon as me and my clones got into the portal we immediately surrounded it in a semi-circle, just after a few seconds the first monster came in.
He didn't even have time to open his eyes when his head was already full of bullets.
Then another one came in, then another one, then another one.
Up to 5 came in until they stopped rushing in.
They were probably waiting for us to come outside, after all they just asked if we have food, this is probably the reason they even asked that in the first place.
After all no matter how super human you are, you are bound to die from hunger if you don't eat for a long time.
But that only apply to normal residents of this world.
But I'm not normal, nor am I originally from this world, so the longer this situation drags on the better after all I can creat two clone every day and eleven every five days, let's see who will last the longest.
--4 DAYS LATER--
"Hahaha fuck you bitch!" Alex Laugh while stomping on a dead corpse of a shape shifting monster, thats what he named it.
Of course it's not without losses, after four days he manage summon another nine clones plus the original thirteen there were twenty two.
But after four days the shape shifters all rushed through the portal, even if the opening of the portal was small, the strategy they used last time can't be used again because the shape shifters were generally the size of a normal human.
The only reason the shape shifter did not all go in last time is because there were too few of them and most of them will die if not annihilated if they fight with that number.
So they sent the weakest of them through the portal to scout and when they didn't came out, they camped the outside of the portal and waited for other monsters to pass by and lured them in the portal, and they rushed in with the monsters.
There's just one problem, that's is the number of people in Alex side almost doubled!, they can't comprehend how those thirteen humans manage to multiply!.
Did they make a baby? but that doesn't make sense at all, after all how can a baby grow so big quickly? And where did they get new weapons for them, is it born with them?.
The shape shifter doesn't know how close they were to the truth, it's just that it's not a baby, it's a clone!.
Unfortunately for them they didn't get to know how those humans manage to multiply in such a short amount of time.
However Alex side is not without casualties, there were only nine-teen clones now.
Some died from the rushing monster while some died from the sneaky shape shifter, some shape shifter even tried to mimick alexs clones, unfortunately for them Alex and his clone have a a connected mind.
They also didn't stand too close to the portal, instead they got away as far as possible but still can see the portal this way they were not taken by surprise.
Due to all of those factors combined, is the reason they suffered so little casualties compared to past battles.
"Clean up the bodies make sure they were dead, shoot them in the head three times from a distance before getting close" alex ordered as he looked down at the shape shifter beneath his feet.
"Do you think I didn't notice?" Alex said as he stomped his foot harder on its head.
Before his foot even made contact with it's head, it already dodge it, just as it was about to get up it was met with a black barrel.
"Better luck next time, kid"
"BANG!!!"
