Plundering in the Apocalypse



Ben saw that the red energy was coming closer and closer to his eyes and soon he touched the energy veil. But instead of passing through, he was repelled back. Seeing that the boy wasn't injured and just repelled back, no one cared about him anymore and a few other people also tried passing through.

"Damn it, what's the deal with the wall?"

"Move aside! Let me try using my skill." Another person shouted and activated his skill. He was an E-rank ability user, so he was pretty powerful.

Blue energy covered his fist and he could feel the power surging in his arms. Building his confidence, he punched the energy barrier heavily.

"Haa."

But the result was him being repelled a few steps back.

"It didn't work." A man said while patting his shoulder, trying to comfort him.

But the awakened looked at him menacingly and shouted. "Are you mocking me? Do you want to die?"

"W-what?" That person was flabbergasted. After all, he was just comforting him.

The three students didn't even bother picking up Ben, and were worried thinking how to get out.

"Hey Ben, how long will you sit there?"

"Yeah, it's fine. At least you tried."

"Let's try something else."

"SHUT UP!" Ben shouted, full of rage. Hearing this, the other three looked at each other blankly and then glared at Ben.

"What did you say?"

"I said you guys are annoying. So shut up for a second." They were shocked to see the timid Ben speaking up like that, but it didn't take long for them to come out of their stupor.

"You got some balls, you little shit."

"You want us to beat the crap out of you?"

"Let's teach him a lesson."

Ben gripped his head because of the splitting headache as these thoughts started coming to his mind.

[Kill, Kill, Kill. Kill those bitches.]

'No.'

[They are a sin to humanity.]

'Stop.'

[Kill them so they won't bully you anymore.]

'No, I can't.'

[Help others by killing them.]

'I..'

[That's what a hero should do.]

'Right, I wanted to be a hero. So I can help everyone.'

[That's why you need to kill those villains.]

'Yes, I have to kill those villains if I want to be a hero.'

[Go and kill them.]

Ben stood up, and he glared at them.

"What? Did you learn to stand up for yourself?"

"What are you glaring at us for? Want us to teach you a lesson?"

Ben stood there motionless, muttering something under his breath.

"...l"

"Hm? What did this bastard say?"

"Kill."

"Kill?"

"I'll kill you."

They quivered as they gazed into Ben's eyes.. They were no longer timid.. They were full of menace.. His face contorted unsightly. He dashed towards them with the intent to kill.

"The hell," the three braced themselves.

"Let's catch this bastard." The three went in together to hold him. None of those four were awakened, so it was more like an all-out brawl.

Ben had a small and frail body, so he was easily caught by the other three. Two of them held onto his hands and the last one started punching him.

"Hold him still."

*Punch*

*Thwack*

*Boom* *Boom* *Boom*

"Rwahh, I'll kill you all," Ben shouted, trying to free his hands. While all this was happening, no one tried to stop them or get themselves involve in this brawl.

Ben pulled his hand with all his might. His will was unaffected even after receiving several punches.

[How can you be a hero like this? Kill those villains with any means possible.]

Ben stopped struggling and suddenly stretched out his neck and chew out the boy's flesh from his face.

"AAAHHH. THIS BASTARD."

Blood gushed out from his face, his grip loosed, and Ben escaped. But that wasn't the end, as Ben immediately clawed from his free hand to the other boy who was holding him.

"AAHH, MY EYES."

With his fingers, Ben clawed his eyes and blood gushed out of there.

Seeing this scene, everyone was terrified and motionless. Because a small brawl turned into something big.

Ben, with his clawed hands, tried to tear their skin. It doesn't matter whether he was hurt or not. He didn't care whether he was covered in blood. He only wanted revenge for something he was frustrated about and at this moment, all his emotions broke out.

He jumped at the first boy and started biting his flesh and tearing it apart.

"AAHHHH."

With his hands, he scratches the skin apart, gouging out flesh.

"NOOOO, help me."

In front of this horrifying scene, no one took a step forward.

Someone even closed their eyes or avert their attention.

But Ben didn't stop. He kept gouging out the flesh of the two teenagers while smiling in delight.

The last boy stood with his legs shaking as he saw his friends being killed. He felt scared. He didn't want to be the next one. He was aware that he was the one who made Ben suffer the most..

'I need to escape.' As soon as that thought crossed his mind, he turned back and ran away. Though his legs were shaky in the face of death, his legs stopped shaking.

But how could Ben let him escape so easily? Grabbing a stone from near him, he threw it without caring about his injured or fatigued body.

"Ahhh." A scream sounded as the stone hit the boy's head.

Ben moved towards him.

[Kill him, he is a cruel villain.]

[Let him atone for his sins.]

"Yeah, I need to kill him, too."

The boy was terrified of the current Ben.

"No, no stop. Don't come near me." The boy shouted frantically.

Seeing that, Ben had no intention of stopping. The boy groveled and begged for mercy.

"Please Ben, let me go. I'm sorry about everything. I'll never trouble you again."

But Ben laughed sinisterly. "Well, if I kill you now. You won't trouble me, anyway."

The boy was horrified, and after that, many screams resounded in the area.

But no one bothered them anymore or rather they didn't have time to bother them because they were busy saving themselves.
