The Soul System in the Apocalypse-Chapter 489: Retreat, Abnormality
Chapter 489: Retreat, Abnormality
It seemed that the glimmer of hope that the humans possessed was not in vain. That was due to the fact that not long after the appearance of the group in the north, another group suddenly appeared in the eastern side of the continent.
The appearance of that group completely surprised the members of the other races. The reason behind that was due to the fact that this group that had appeared right now was extremely strong, as compared to the other two groups that had appeared before them.
The most strange thing about them was the fact that each and every person that appeared in that group was actually in the platinum rank, and it was not just the platinum rank, but instead, the very peak of it, level 9 of the Platinum rank.
Wherever it was that they went, the members of the other races would be immediately eliminated without any form of resistance. Additionally, they did not just destroy the members of the other races, but instead, they even took over the territories that were owned by the members of the other races.
The most astonishing thing was the fact that even the zombies were actually not left out. The most flabbergasting thing was the fact that the zombies were not killed, but instead, they were converted back into humans.
At that time, despite the fact that the humans were experiencing a large amount of casualties, but due to the conversion of the zombies back into humans, the number of the humans was not reducing by a huge margin at all.
In fact, in the nation where that group had appeared, the casualties could not match up with the number of humans that kept on increasing due to the conversion of the zombies. It seemed that the population of the humans in that country was actually increasing.
This new group had appeared in Akila, the one that was located in the eastern part of the continent. At that moment, the members of the other races that were located within that nation began trembling.
This was due to the fact that the speed at which this new group was advancing was extremely high. The information about the destruction of the members of the other races in other areas reached their ears quite easily, and the rate at which the members of the other races were being destroyed and their territories being taken over was overwhelming.
At that moment, they began panicking. In the face of the strength that was possessed by this group that had appeared, it was definitely impossible for them to be able to resist. They tried contacting the members of their race that had not yet descended, but no matter what, they could not contact them just like before.
In the end, they were left with no other choice but to stop attacking the humans in that nation. Of course, that only applied in that nation, and not the other nations.
It might be true that another group had suddenly erupted in the eastern side of the continent, but that was not something that threatened those that were located in the western, or in the central part of the continent.
In any case, it was definitely going to take that group of humans quite a good amount of time for them to be able to reach them. By the time that they got there, they would have definitely eliminated all the humans in that particular nation.
But nevertheless, those that were within Akila immediately began facing the threat that came from the group. The reason behind that was due to the fact that the speed at which this group was advancing was incredible, and it would definitely not take that much time for them to be able to reach them.
As compared to those members of the other races that were located in other nations, they knew about the horror of this group that had appeared.
At that moment, they came to another decision. And that was to band together as a whole, in order to be able to resist this group. It might be true that they were definitely not strong enough to be able to resist this group, but even then, they could simply hold on as much as possible until the time that the fourth stage of the apocalypse descended.
As long as the rest of the members of their races descended into this world, it would definitely be simple for them to be able to eliminate the race of humans. But until then, they had to hold on no matter what.
So at that moment, the human territories within Akila that had been experiencing a lot of pressure due to the attacks of the members of the other races finally had a chance of breathing. The members of the other races suddenly retreated, giving them a chance of relaxing a little.
The moment that the members of the other races retreated from attacking those human territories, they began moving towards the same direction. They moved towards the western part of the nation, which was towards the very center of the continent.
That was the position that they had agreed to meet up at, through the communication channels that they possessed. And for a moment, the group that had appeared was a little surprised the moment that they realized that they could not find the members of the other races so that they could eliminate them.
In any case, that group did not stop moving at all. Instead, they began integrating the human territories that were located within Akila.
Of course, with the danger already gone, even if it was just temporarily, some people would tend to forget about it. So, the moment that some leaders of the territories realized that this new group that had appeared was actually trying to integrate all the territories, they definitely would not agree to that.
They tried resisting, but they did not have the ability to. So, in the end, they could only watch helplessly as the territory that they had constructed with their own mght was being taken over.
But of course, the group did not simply take over the territory and eliminate those that were in charge of the territory. Instead, after taking over the core of the territory, they would leave the management of the territory to the one that was in charge of it previously.
But of course, to ensure that the territory was not taken over again during the time that they had gone away, they left one person behind in order to make sure that did not happen. Of course, the person that they left behind was at the platinum rank, but not level 9.
In any case, any person that was already in the Platinum rank was extremely strong in the current stage of the apocalypse. So, those that they left behind had already reached level 5 of the platinum rank. But even then, with the strength that they possessed, it was impossible for the leaders of that territory to be able to resist.
At the end of it all, it was not as if those that were left behind were weak. In fact, if they fought against those at the same level as them, they would be able to defeat them due to the advantage that they possessed with the equipment and the skills.
Some other territories had already decided to collaborate with this group of people that had appeared. In any case, this group did not show any maliciousness towards them. For that reason, they easily agreed to be led by that group.
Who didn’t want a very strong protector? After experiencing the horror of the members of the other races, they would definitely submit to humans, considering that they were from the same race.
The group moved on, and in just a matter of a week, they had managed to cover 1/5 of the entire country. The speed at which they were moving at was something that the members of the other races had not expected.
It seemed that by the time that those humans arrived in the area where they had decided to meet up, other members of the other races that were located far from there would definitely not have arrived. But in any case, the number of the members of the other races that had already congregated was extremely huge.
...
It had been an entire week when Henry was within the dungeon. He had killed uncountable number of monsters, but even then, he had not managed to reach the next rank. freewebnoveℓ.com
Currently, he could already manage to form a few scratches on the barrier that was preventing him from being able to reach the next rank. But that was all, considering that he could not do any much damage other than those simple scratches.
The worst thing was the fact that those scratches that he left behind after attacking that barrier would actually recover after some time. It was as if he was doing nothing at all in attacking the barrier.
In the end, Henry decided not to focus on attacking the barrier, but instead, he decided to focus on increasing the amount of energy that he possessed. With that, he completely abandoned the idea of trying to attack it, and simply continued attacking the monsters.
When the number of monsters in that level of the dungeon were depleted, he wanted to try to go to the lower levels. But of course, that was an impossibility considering that there was a limitation by the dungeon, and he could not go down.
Left with no other choice, Henry could only continue staying in that level of the dungeon, while hunting the monsters that appeared. In any case, within the next week again, he continued with his hunting. In the last week, which was the third week ever since he had entered into the dungeon, he had not communicated with his summoned creatures at all.
Henry was a little worried due to the fact that he had not communicated with his summoned creatures for quite a while. So, he tried to contact them, but it was then that he suddenly realized that it seemed that there was something that was preventing him from communicating with his summoned creatures.
