Chereads / FALLEN RANKER / Chapter 5 - 05.The Horde

Chapter 5 - 05.The Horde

Huuuu fuuuuu

[Congratulations,you have awakened new skills]

I woke up from the noise and was surprised to find a corpse on top of me

'What!'

At first I was surprised but then I remembered what happened and calmed down

"Sigh,okay"

I took a look at my body to find not a single injury and my right arm was not broken and frowned as I remembered losing a lot of blood and breaking an arm

"Oh,right I ate something"

But what was it?

"Oh,well whatever if its important Ill remember"

I tried to lift the corpse of the juggernaut but it was too heavy to lift so I lifted it just enough to get out

Huff huff

I checked my surroundings and found a necklace floating in the middle of the ground it was emitting reddish black energy

I walked to it and grabbed the necklace and was also checking the surrounding staying alert

When I grabbed the necklace it surrounded my entire body with the reddish black energy

Just to disappear the next second

'Well,That was weird'

I put the necklace on and nothing happened

Sigh

So I breath a sigh of relief and checked its information

"Damn! I go through all of that just for this"

Sigh

"At least I know where I will be located I grabbed the map out of my pocket and opened it

The only glowing blue dot that remained was in the middle

"Only one remains"

Taking a deep breath

"I have got some use full skills,especially the 'mana blast' skill it has a lot of power "

I looked around just to find my broken sword laying besides the crater and nothing of importance

[Activating 'Mana field]

My mana spread all over the empty area and got no reaction

"Nothing to do here anymore"

I started to move towards the walls of darkness

"I wounder how will it effect me now"

When I reached the wall I pushed my right hand first

First it didnt react then my necklace glowed and I was allowed through

It was like the wall was absorbing darkness from around it and condensing it inside

When I got out of the wall and breath a sigh of relief

Sigh

A took out the map and started walking toward my final destination

The Center

The monster filled the streets and roof

I killed a few monsters that got in my way with my new power

The monster started to gather and followed me

I started to move towards the tall building located around the center

I concentrated mana into my legs and jumped on the side of the tall glass buildings and started to climbed the building

From the side after I reached the top I looked down

"There are many"

I rested on top until the monsters came to the top

I kicked the zombie and it was thrown down

The giant spider jumped at me and I grabbed its body and ripped it apart

Turning to the left I dashed towards the colossal centipede

['Body fortitude' activated]

I crushed it head with my punch and threw it body off the building

[Leveled up]

[Strength is raised by 1]

[Perception is raised by 1]

[Agility is raised by 1 ]

'Damn,leveling up is harder now'

Creak,break

The building started to tilt because of the monster horde

I jumped off the buildings on the horde's side

Huuu fuuu

Taking a deep breath I used 'Mana blast' to clear my way

After reaching the bottom I used three 'Mana blast' to destroy the buildings foundation

The building collapsed on in itself taking the horde with it

[Leveled up]

[Leveled up]

[Leveled up]

Huff huff

Looking at the map I saw that I was closer to the relic

I started to run towards it but stopped as I sensed a large amount of monster

'Strange'

But something was wrong as they were not moving

Sigh

I started to move to take the route around the horde

But their was no end to the horde it was like they were a wall and I would have to overcome it if I wanted to get to the center

'I now have two options either to go to the center or escape the city and complete the first trial'

Sighhh

'If the defense for the last hidden relic is a monster horde of at least four thousand monster than it has to be something of A-rank at least'

I started to think of a plan to get to the center

I circled around the horde but it was as I predicted it was on all sides of the center

I got to the area of the horde with the most monsters and then to the weakest spot

An idea came to mind a stupid but can get the job done

I got under the building surrounding the horde with the most monsters

I left 'Mana blasts' on either the basement or the first floor and left the area

BOOOOOM!!!

AHHHHHHH

I was considerable distance away when the 'Mana blasts' exploded and the building fell on the horde

I dashed to the spot with the weakest defense

The horde was speeding towards the noise of the collapse

I ran through the remaining group of monsters blasting them with 'Mana Blasts'

I ran using every bit of strength to reach the center before the horde got me

The center was the ruins of a giant tower

I reached close to the center before stopping and hiding in the rubble

The feeling of danger became high I became sure there was something hiding just like the juggernaut

['Mana field' Activated]

Then the ruins were slowly covered with mist

I sensed the shape of the thing that was coming closer to me it had almost the shape of a human

The one that was different was the size of its claws

It raised its left hand and slashed at the air towards me

I jumped backwards as I felt danger the place where I was hiding was now cut with what look like three claws

I enhanced my eyes to see what it was

It had a simple white mask instead of a face with two glowing blue eyes behind it

His skin was pale and his body was covered with mist

I blinked and he was gone from his place I sensed him through 'Mana field'

But I didnt sense anything I ducked however it was too late

Ahhh

I now had a long wound on my back

"Damn!"
