Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 168: Natan Alexander's New Ability
Brianna Alexander looked at Natan from a distance with Ainsley beside her. His eyes were glazed over, there was the deepest longing and sorrow at seeing him. "Darling..."
Ainsley shook her head as she leaned against the wall barrier. "If you miss him, come and hug him."
Brianna lowered her head while tightly gripping her right hand in front of her chest. "I want to, but I'm not ready. You know, I'm dead, and I got up not too long ago, does he still recognize me? Even if he still recognizes me, does he still accept me?"
Ainsley clucked in annoyance when he heard it, but gave no response about it and switched the conversation. "He's almost Level 600, I'll come over there and kiss his lips."
"No!" Brianna looked up and shouted. "I don't care if you kiss her cheek, but not her lips!"
Ainsley frowned. "What's the problem?"
Brianna patted her forehead. "I don't want to have a daughter-in-law who's hundreds of years older than me."
Ainsley sighed, although there was a hint of anger, she ignored him. "The contribution you've made is enough, you can regroup with Natan. Many of the resurrected people were already working hard, but they did not meet the target. You are the only."
There were hundreds of people raised by the Guardians, but more than half of them committed suicide because the families they wanted to meet, had already been killed by monsters or other humans. Their dreams, which they had been waiting for by working hard, were dashed and finally gave up.
Brianna was silent, she knew it, but still not brave enough. The guilt of leaving Natan still looms over him.
"If he had already risen to Level 700, I would have gone to see him. I want to hug her, pamper her, I want to spend time with her." Brianna's gaze was warm as she looked at Natan from a distance.
"But ..." Ainsley did not know whether or not to continue while looking at Brianna's warm gaze. "She's so grown up, do you have to spoil her?"
"What did you say?!" Brianna stared intently at Ainsley and shouted. "Whatever her age, she's still my little baby!"
Ainsley fell silent without saying a word while shrugging her shoulders. Then when he saw Natan from a distance, he remembered something. "He'll attack the Skull Guild, you better meet him after he's done. It's not good for too long, you know it yourself, he misses you so much."
Brianna paused for a moment before nodding her head. "Well, I can't wait to hug my son."
"Really! I can't wait to kiss Natan's lips either."
Brianna flinched, she turned her head towards Ainsley. "You ..." He stopped when he saw Ainsley entering the portal.
Brianna turned her gaze back towards Natan, she bit her lips as she felt a pain in her heart. Then sighed, then entered the portal that still had not disappeared.

Natan patted the heads of Ayumi and Erina, then let the two of them rest. Then he saw the zombies that continued to decrease under a series of attacks, although the amount of reduction was slower than when Ayumi attacked.
But, Natan could not force Ayumi to continue attacking. He retrieved Ayumi's Level 600 Cosmos Magic Wand from the Inventory. "Ayumi, I'll borrow it for a while."
Due to the low level, Ayumi was still unable to use it.
Looking at the Cosmos Magic Wand, Ayumi smiled faintly and nodded her head. He was not energetic, and chose to sit leaning against the wall while picking up a strawberry-flavored milk box.
Nathan raised his right hand and drained the Mana to the Cosmos Magic Level. The magic wand emitted a blue light for a moment before it changed to blackness. "Skeleton Mastery! Amplify Damages!"
The Skeleton Squad that was fighting on the front lines, emitting black aura and blue flames on their bodies enlarged, giving a 30% increase in HP and 70% STR.
The attacking zombies had a decrease in terms of speed and defense as their bodies were enveloped in the red aura coming out of the Skeleton Squad.
Natan closed her eyes; sharing a glance with the Skeleton Knight who was in the front row was holding Tyrant back. He could see the corpses lying on the ground. "Revive!"
A black fog shot out from the Skeleton Knight he controlled, the mist descending enveloped Tyrant's corpse that was on the ground. When all the fog entered his body, Tyrant slightly trembled, then got back up with his blue eyes.
The blue-eyed Tyrant turned around, looking at Tyrant from the zombie wave. He opened his mouth and roared loudly, then swung his big hand.
The Blue-Eyed Tyrant's punch struck the Zombie Tyrant, giving it a stronger impact than Tyrant in general. The punch split the waves of zombies as Tyrant Zombie crashed, flying zombies behind and around.
Revives. This skill allows Natan to resurrect a monster in its original form and make it fight by its side, but only temporarily, instead of permanently like Raise Skeleton.
Natan let out a long sigh, then returned various gazes, as if he was the skeleton himself. "Poison Explosion!"
The skeleton's body slightly expanded with a strange aura that condensed on his body, then again shrank like a balloon as it let out a black mist mixed with dark green. The fog spread out in all directions, enveloping the entire battlefield.
The poison spread, poisoning friends or opponents. But since the skeleton had no meat, they were not affected by the poison. Unlike the zombies, their bodies slowed down and their flesh started to melt like butter in slow speed.
When all the zombies had been poisoned, the skeleton attacked ferociously. No need to try hard to kill him.
Natan looked around, looking at the Energy Cannon that still had a store of Mana. Then looked up, looking at the air, there were no more flying zombies left. "Save the Energy Cannon, we can use it another day."
The Energy Cannon Operator nodded its head, then they stopped the work of the Energy Cannon. The Iron Energy Cannon that was originally red due to the heat, slowly began to blacken back.
Ayumi had recovered, she stood up and looked at Natan. "Do you have that skill? Why not take it out from the beginning?"
Natan turned to look at Ayumi who was still sweating. He smiled faintly as he took the handkerchief in his pants, then rubbed it on Ayumi's face and replied, "When I just leveled up earlier, I got the rewards of these skills. Maybe Ayumi will get the same thing."
"REally?!" Ayumi opened her eyes wide, her eyes twinkling and looking very excited, eager to quickly level up to gain an extraordinary skill.
Natan nodded her head and smiled warmly when she saw this kind of excited Ayumi. "Sure, now, get back to rest."
He looked the other way, looking at Erina. "Erina also rests, don't push yourself." He was cleaning up the sweat on Erina's face.
Ayumi and Erina smiled brightly as they nodded their heads, then they both sat back down. Both of them opened up the user interface, looking at the growing Point Exp, but it was still a long way off to reach Level 600. But with the help of Kuro and Kori, tomorrow morning can reach it.
Natan smiled faintly when she saw the two, then she turned her gaze on the battlefield. The poison fog was still there, and upon seeing the interface to observe the number of zombies through Mapping, he smiled. The zombies continued to dwindle, and the skeleton was no longer destroyed nor exploded.
This could be considered a victory, but he still could not relax his guard just because these zombies could not break through the skeletons' defenses.
...
Two hours later, the zombies were completely depleted. Nothing else came from the darkness of the night, not even Natan to send the Bee Knights to check it, but it was true that there was no more.
Natan heaved a sigh of relief, and immediately sat leaning against the wall barrier. He felt very tired from having to exert extra Mana to maintain the buff and debuff. Moreover, it still had to defend the skeleton that he had sent to America.
"Wouldn't you?" Ayumi sat down beside Natan, offering him a steamed bun that had been bitten.
Natan was speechless with a bitter smile, but she did not reject it and bit the steamed bread containing meat and vegetables.
Calista came towards Natan after helping Vely and Olivia. He didn't help much in the assault, and just built everyone's needs. He sat on Nathan's thigh, then washed the sweat off Nathan's face.
Natan was a little surprised to see Calista sitting on her thigh just like that, but she let him. "I've found the base that is supposedly belonging to the Skull Guild, tomorrow the day after we will come there to look for information. If it's really them, we'll attack him."
Hearing that, the team member who was from the beginning with Natan, nodded his head. As for the others, Natan had no intention of bringing them.
