With the help of the light green medicine, Seth's body condition began to improve and recover. The man started to stand on his feet, looking at Lydia the Vice Leader of Arcada who was lying dead with a hole in her belly from Seth's laser pistol shot.
He approached Lydia with slow steps. Seth fired at Lydia's left hand, severing it with blood still flowing unabated. Storing the severed hand into his bag, Seth had no time to transfer Lydia's attributes back to himself.
"Miss Vice Leader is dead!"
Someone's voice shouted loudly from the top floor of the hotel building. Seth guessed they knew of Lydia's death because Lydia's status was off on the system bracelet the leader had in this place.
"SHIT!" someone shouted.
"The intruder is in Lydia's room!"
Now, Seth's position was again trapped in that place. With the current situation, there was no other choice Seth could make except to fight them all. He grabbed some hand bombs and kept them in his pants pocket.
Seth walked quickly towards the Lydia's bedroom door. His right hand was still holding his laser pistol, while his left hand held a shock bomb. He opened the door immediately and saw people from Arcada's members starting to run in the same corridor as Seth.
"Take this!" groaned Seth.
He activated the detonator of the bomb in the shape of a circular button and threw the bomb ahead, precisely towards the Arcada members who were chasing him. Seth ran in the opposite direction with his left hand reaching back into his shirt pocket, retrieving a smoke bomb.
The shock bomb exploded, creating a loud noise and blinding light that made the men instantly blind and deaf as before. Coupled with the soaring black smoke, it guarded Seth's location from the threat of all of them.
Just before defeating the Arcada members, Seth made sure all the rooms on his side were empty without people, it could be dangerous if he had a shootout with them but the safety of his back wasn't well guarded.
To reach Seth's place, they only had one way, which was through the crowd of people who were groaning in pain from both stinging eyes and strong buzzing ears.
"It's showtime!" said Seth.
The man dropped to the floor with both hands on the laser pistol. He took turns pulling the trigger, the right gun first, then the left, and vice versa.
Seth was unable to see the people behind the thick black smoke, so the best option Seth could do was to attack randomly in the hope that each of his laser shots could hit the person.
On the other side of the corridor, Seth's brutal and random fire was difficult for the people to anticipate, especially after their vision was interrupted by the thick black smoke. The lasers that Seth launched successfully hit the people, even the dead people were hit again because of the randomness of Seth's targets.
"AAAKH!"
Screams of suffering filled the place, without exception. For Seth, their screams were like a pleasant melody, even Seth's head was nodding at the screams.
"Die, you bastards!" Seth snapped.
Those who had just come to the third floor were immediately ordered to hide, bow their heads and take cover under the stairs. The total number of people who died there reached 18, all of them died in horrible conditions.
"What about the windows on the east side of the corridor?" asked one of the Arcada members.
"The location of the floor is high enough to make it difficult for us to sneak in through there," replied his partner, still taking cover from Seth's laser fire.
"Damn! We're stuck here and can't do anything," he said, clucking his tongue as he crouched on the stairs, waiting for Seth's attack to stop.
The screams of pain were no longer heard, the thick black smoke from the smoke bombs had also started to fade. Seth got up from his prone position, walked quickly forward and found a pile of corpses of Arcada members lying with fatal wounds on their heads and bellies.
Organs were shattered with the walls in the corridor stained with the dirty blood of the poor Arcada members. Seth continued to walk towards the stairs with silent, but quick steps.
Seth's pace stopped when he reached the door that led to the staircase. He was pretty sure people were inside the door and waiting for the situation to be conducive to start attacking.
Seth holstered his left pistol and retrieved the hand bomb from his shirt pocket, not a shock bomb or smoke bomb, but an explosive bomb. He couldn't throw the bomb through the door, it would be too risky if Seth opened it at any time and they were already behind the door.
The man decided to holster his right pistol as well. His right hand reached back, picking up the shotgun Mia had been using. He pointed the tip of the shotgun at the wall next to him, aiming to make a hole and let him throw the explosive bomb freely.
DOR!
He fired two laser shotgun blasts at the wall, the powerful shots tearing a hole in the wall the size of an adult's head. His left hand reflexively pressed the bomb's detonator button and threw the object into the hole.
"Fire in the hole!" groaned Seth.
Seth threw the object with such force that the bomb rolled all the way down. As a result, the people on the emergency stairs on the first and second floors were affected by the explosion, the people on the second floor were directly hit by the explosion, while the people on the first floor were hit by the ruins of the destroyed emergency stairs.
"AAAKH!"
The door to Seth's right suddenly opened, Seth reflexively fired a laser shotgun at the man. His body was torn in half with his internal organs falling apart.
Seth threw the shotgun away, picking up his two laser pistols to use again. The man entered the emergency exit and found five people standing by, their faces pale with fear as almost half of Arcada's members were killed by Seth.
"SON OF A BITCH!" one of the men groaned.
Just before he unleashed his attack, Seth had already fired laser bullets through their heads and chests. They fell and bounced when they received the attack, none of them survived.
Seth stood alone with his clothes full of blood stains, even his black hair was also stained because of the blood of Arcada members who spurted chaotically when hit by Seth's laser gun.
He looked down. The only way to escape was gone. Now, he could only continue upwards until he met someone important. Seth's main purpose was to find Arcada's shard of life.
"Looks like the shard of life is kept on the top floor," Seth muttered.
The man continued to stride up the stairs, occasionally shooting at the people walking down from the upper floors. Their unprepared stance made it easy for Seth to defeat those people.
Seth's walking stopped when he reached the top floor of this building, the fifth floor. When Seth tried to open the door, he felt something strange on the floor.
He put his ear to the wooden door, trying to listen to what was behind the door. However, there was no sound, even though the situation downstairs was chaotic due to Seth's attack.
Seth narrowed his eyes, trying to figure out how to find out what the situation behind the door was like. The man remembered the bodies of several Arcada members he had shot dead while on his way to this place.
He stepped quickly, grabbed one of the men by the head and dragged him up. Seth placed the man's body against the door, so that if anything happened behind the door, they would reflexively shoot at the body.
Seth took a deep breath, his left hand holding the door handle while his right hand held the laser pistol. He opened the door which opened to the outside. Seth moved away in the hope that he wouldn't get shot, if at all.
Sure enough! Heavy shots were fired from behind the door towards the man's body, they used weapons with laser plasma ammo to make the body that Seth placed become shattered into pieces.
The gun was switched to the left hand, while the right hand held two different bombs, a shock bomb and an explosive bomb. Seth activated both bombs quickly with his ring finger and thumb.
He ran to the other side of the room and threw the two bombs at the open door. The two bombs rolled fast due to Seth's powerful throw, there was a beeping sound from the bombs until there was a strong explosion accompanied by a loud noise and lightning.
"AAKH!"
Seth walked in, seeing the four people lying with their bodies scattered, two of them were still alive. Seth instantly walked over and put a laser gun to their heads.
They died right there on the spot. Seth's eyes focused on a door to a room close to those people. Seth tried to grip the doorknob and opened it quickly to the surprise of Seth, not the people in the room.
Seth lowered his two pistols, gasping in shock at the sight of the room littered with bloodstains, with bodies strewn everywhere. The man stepped inside, looking at a decapitated head, he was indeed the leader of Arcada.
"Who killed him?" asked Seth, muttering.
Putting that aside, Seth immediately searched the place and he didn't found the existence of the shard of life he was looking for. Seth pressed the shard of life ranking menu, he couldn't believe someone else had taken the shard of life belonging to Arcada's group.
Seth walked towards the exit with both eyes focused on the notification screen on his system bracelet, the third place was taken by someone with the name Alice Lane.
The man remembered the name again, it was the name of his party colleague when he was with Jonas and Mick.
"ALICE?!" Seth shouted as he walked out of the room with his heart full of shock.
Seth's stride was interrupted when his head felt something icy from the left side. Someone seemed to be pointing a gun at Seth's distracted head because of the information.
Turning his head to the side, Seth trembled in fear with his heart beating fast. He saw a woman in a white tanktop, shorts, and white stockings. She appeared to be wearing blue earrings, which matched with the blue color of her eyes.
"Alice?"
