The Heavenly Crystal

"How about the guy?" Mark asked as he looked at Roan.

"You know what to do." Roan smiled gently as he said that. But that gentle smile sent shivers down his spine.

Mark nodded his and said"Understood!" Mark disappeared in the darkness as he followed after the guy they released.

"Let us wait inside and calm the others down first. They should be extemely worried about this unexpected visit." said Roan calmly while walking towards the gate. Terrius and Karl followed after him.

They saw the rest waiting for them outside the mansions with worried gazes.

"Roan, what happened? Why did you guys woke us up at a time like this?" asked Ayesha worriedly. The others looked at Roan while waiting for his answer.

"More than a dozen men armed with Silver level swords and bows wished to take this place by force." he answered calmly.

Their faces turned gloomy after hearing his answer.

"Then where are they?" Lily asked with a shaking voice.

"We already eliminated them." he said coldly.

"You killed them?" asked Athena while covering her tiny mouth.

"If we didn't do that, then we will be the ones getting killed by them." his answer made them realize that this was no longer the same peaceful world they knew. People will fight for shelter and territory which is of great importance in this apocalyptic world.

A pair of beautiful flaming wings emerged on Roan's back which made him look more devilishly handsome. He told them as he floated in midair "Go back and rest. I'll stay on guard tonight to make sure that no one will be able to invade this place again." He then flew towards the wall like a legendary Phoenix with its beautiful flaming wings protecting the land of gods.

"Don't worry, Roan is extemely strong. Even if I joined hands with Terrius, we still can't injure that guy. Our safety is already guaranteed with him watching over this walled mansion." Karl said with a smile, while Terrius nodded his head in acknowledgement.

The others were still mesmerized after seeing Roan's beautiful flaming wings. That particular scene will forever be etched in their minds even after they later became known as world-shaking heroes.

They all went back inside the mansion with dazed looks but their hearts were full of determination.

"Those piece of shits, I will make them pay for humiliating me!" shouted an angry voice which attracted some nearby weaker beasts and undeads. They charged towards his direction, but the unlucky beasts and undeads died from his fierce wind attacks.

The guy was breathing rapidly from extreme anger and also due to losing a lot of STA and INT stats from skill over usage.

"I should reach the camp in a few more minutes. F.u.c.k those brats!" He continued walking after muttering his insults.

After about twelve minutes of walking, the guy finally saw a well-barricaded subdivision which had a few dozen houses inside. Mark who was following the guy saw the tightly-guarded subdivision. He saw more than a dozen men guarding the gate, each one of them had a Silver level weapon at the very least. One guy is even in possession of a Gold level axe. He looked ferocious and strong with his thick arms and legs.

Mark moved with great speed and arrived at the back of the guy they released earlier. He covered the guy's mouth to prevent him from calling for help and he then chocked the guy with his strong arms.

"Hmm-mhm" Muffled groans escaped from the guy's mouth. He also tried breaking free from Mark's lock but alas, he was too weak to break free and can only continue to emit muffled groans. His face turned red from the choke and fainted moments after. Mark broke the guy's neck by twisting it fiercely to make sure that he will never see the light again. He lifted the guy's dead body on his shoulder and brought him to a place where he saw undeads lurking around.

He threw the dead body near the undeads who ran with great speed at the smell of the human flesh. They chomped on the guy's dead body madly, tearing his flesh and grabbing his internal organs with fervor. Their mouths were full of his blood and flesh as they continued to chomp on him. Even the seasoned mercenary like Mark grew fearful at the thought of dying at the hands of these mindless flesh eaters.

He checked the surroundings to make sure that no one saw him, before disappearing back into darkness. He went back to the subdivision and searched for loopholes in their defense.

He saw some guards drinking alcohol and playing cards, while some others were just laughing as they looked at them.

"Call the women over. I need to release some steam. Haha!" laughed the big guy holding a huge Gold level axe on his shoulder. The rest of the men laughed and grew excited at thought of being able to play with the women again.

"We will go get them boss! Haha!"

"Good! Good!"

After several minutes, three men holding women who were chained and blindfolded greeted the big guy by waving their arms.

"Boss! We got permission from brother Tiger!"

"Great! I know brother Tiger is not a stingy guy! Haha!' he laughed loudly while putting his giant axe on the ground.

The men all have l.u.s.tful gazes as they looked at the n.a.k.e.d women in front of them.

"Unchain them and bring that girl at the back!" ordered the big guy towards his men as he pointed at a girl around the age of sixteen. The blindfold on her was already wet from her tears and her body was shaking from head to foot. Her graceful body and proud peaks aroused the big guy down to his very bones.

"Is she one of the women captured yesterday?" he asked his men.

"Yes boss! Brother Tiger said that this little girl is his gift for you." said one of his men while laughing evilly as he studied the little girl's body.

"Good! Good! I will personally give my thanks to brother Tiger later after I'm done playing with her. Haha!" the big guy said as his big hands inched closer towards the girl's n.a.k.e.d body.

"Raaawwrrr!!" a loud roar broke the l.u.s.tful atmosphere.
