Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 209: The Guard is Dead?
"Mom, what should I do?"
Brianna felt a pain in her heart when she saw the son she loved so much like this. He knelt down in front of Natan, rubbed his son's hand gently and said, "Do what Natan usually does, there is no need to fear facing a powerful enemy. Don't think about the Monster Ancestors, there's a Mother who will fight it."
Natan looked up at her mother's face which showed a warm and affectionate expression, it made her tears flow in the corner of her eyes, and down her cheeks.
Brianna smiled, wiping away the tears flowing in Natan's eyes. "Don't cry, you're an adult, and soon you'll be a father."
Natan smiled wryly and said, "But I am still nineteen years old."
"That's your fault, Nathan himself married three women at once."
Natan smiled wryly and clucked when she heard it. "Mother kept coming and asking to give me a grandchild."
Brianna laughed a little. He stood up, then sat down next to Nathan. "Now, your wife is pregnant, don't get into the Dungeon Tower too often. You can level up around. By the way, the information Ainsley provided was wrong. Not five hundred million humans were left, but a billion, just that most of them were inside the Dungeon."
"Indeed, in this Chengdu City there is not a single human other than you who are in the Armonia Region and the Alliance, but in other places there are still many. The government even used the Dungeon as a shelter, secluded themselves from the outside world, there resources were plentiful, and they only needed to hold back so that the monsters on the next floor did not descend."
Natan was stunned when he heard this news, he never expected that there were still many human survivors, in stark contrast to the information he got from Ainsley, he said, that said that the human survivors are only 500 million left, and that includes those who were called from “The White” World.
Brianna pulled Natan's head to lean on her shoulder and said, "Mom knows what Natan is thinking. Ainsley, he said that to put pressure on you so that you could continue to increase your strength. Although this can be a double-edged sword, sometimes some are pressured, they will be excited, but there are also others that are the opposite, such as ending their own lives."
Brianna gently rubbed Natan's head affectionately. "By the way, does Natan remember when he was a kid? Natan said she wanted to marry me when I grow up."
Suddenly, Natan's face turned red. He wanted to get up, but his body was held up so he remained seated on the spot. "I-I-It was when I was a kid, I didn't know anything."
Brianna's lips curled into an inexplicable smile. "Should Mom ask Ainsley to cast body shrink magic? You know, I'd rather have that kind of Natan, plain, spoiled, and full of laughter."
His body stiffened as he recalled the embarrassing memories of his childhood. Natan's lips trembled as she said bitterly, "I-I-mom, I beg."
Brianna chuckled, then she laid her body on the bed with Natan using her arms as a pillow. He raised his right hand, then snapped a finger.
Suddenly, the light in the room began to dim until it was completely dark luminous. Then there was a small glimmer of light on the ceiling of the room, and the glow continued to grow until it showed a view of the stars at night.
"Natan remember, we used to go to the mountain every year. Look at a scene like this."
Natan pondered, then nodded and said softly, "Yes, and just then, our car flipped over."
Brianna fell silent without a word, then turned to look at Natan's face. He hugged her tightly, patting Natan on the back. "Don't remember that, now, close your eyes and go to sleep."
"But ..."
"Sleep. Even though it wasn't night yet, no problem, Natan had never napped, now slept like a child before."
Natan was silent for a moment, then he sighed and closed his eyes. He approached Brianna's body, until her nose almost touched her neck.
"You've always been like this when you slept with Mom." Brianna patted Natan's head.
Little Natan always sleeps alone, but every time the nightmare, will sneak into the room of father and mother, then jump between the two. Little Natan would always breathe the scent from her mother's neck.
Natan did not answer, just remained silent and it did not take long to put him to sleep.
After Natan fell asleep, there was a vortex of blue light that appeared beside the bed, and Ainsley came out from it.
Brianna confirmed his position slowly, then said, "Maybe it's too late and he's very mature, but I think he's only five." He rubbed Nathan's cheek, then looked up at Ainsley. "For the next problem ..."
Brianna paused for a moment to see the sleeping Natan, then nodded. "Yes, he can't hear our chatter, so it doesn't matter."
Ainsley nodded, she took off her green coat and revealed the same thin clothes as Brianna, albeit in a different color. He took a chair far beside the window, brought it close to the bedside and sat down.
"We all know there are several Guardians, and each of them keep a different “World”. One of the Weakest and steadily weakened Guards, has been killed."
Brianna was stunned with her mouth open, then took a deep breath and said, "The weakest guard is at least twice the peak level. If the Player has such a level, it is around Level 1998. Who killed him?"
"Right hand of the Ancestors Monster."
Brianna took another breath.
"By the way, the dead Guard gave some of its power to the Earth Guard, and will grant to anyone capable of maintaining the top hundred positions for a year starting today." Ainsley again said, at first he did not want to reveal this information, but he thought it was okay because he knew Brianna well.
Brianna gave a small nod, and she felt that this matter was very important. "Are you going to tell all the players this news? What about the Guard? Does he have any thoughts about spreading it as it already is?"
"No way." Ainsley shook his head, and said, "The guards are no longer putting pressure on humans either. Previously he gave notice to make humans continue to rise, but that was also a double-edged sword, many humans killing each other just for the sake of strength. Therefore, he no longer made a notice, and let those destined to get it."
Brianna rubbed Natan's head, then pulled her hand slowly so as not to wake her up. He took out a blanket, then wrapped around Nathan's body.
Brianna stood up, walking towards the balcony with Ainsley following. Then he sat outside, looking at the construction of the city that could be seen from this place. "Did the Demon King kill the Guard? Even if the Guard is weakened, he should not be easily killed, let alone by a Demon King who is only slightly stronger than you."
After some guesses and information obtained as well as evidence after killing the Devil, they discovered that the Demon King was in the same stronghold as the Monster Ancestors.
Ainsley sat down beside Brianna, sighed and said, "This guard is not like here, his strength continues to weaken every day, and the living thing he was guarding was continuously killed so that no life energy helped increase his strength. Then, he was severely injured, the Demon King took advantage of this opportunity, attacking him secretly using poison."
"Energy of life." Brianna pondered for a moment before continuing: "If knowing that the Guardians needed humans, why would the Guard make all humans compete against each other. It's too stupid."
“Sorry, I'm in too much of a hurry to act. I just hope humans kill monsters, but don't expect them to kill each other.”
This voice suddenly came into the minds of Brianna and Ainsley, his voice like a young man. But in terms of age, it may be as old as Earth or even more.
The two fell silent and looked at each other when they heard the voice that came to their minds. They were rarely in contact with Guards, and usually Ainsley who was a powerful existence that almost matched the weakest Guard, only met once or twice.
The guard itself is a fourth-level form of carbon life.
The First Levels were those above normal humans, perhaps from Level 001 to Level 500. The Second Level were those who could already be considered as rulers, possessed great strength, and were able to withstand heavy weapons.
The Third Level, could be considered the ruler of a world that feared nothing but nuclear (8,000 Nuclear). Able to fly for a few minutes, dive into the deep ocean with depths reaching the Mariana Trench, his body is able to withstand atmospheric pressure, can even breathe in space, resist drowsiness, sleepiness, hungry and thirsty for a whole week.
The Fourth level, could be considered a supreme existence. If it is easier, like the Buddha who ascended to Nirvana. It is able to pass through space, and is said to be able to travel to half the Milky Way Galaxy.
But no one knew whether it was true or not, even Ainsley who was about to become Fourth Level, did not know the truth, either, because he himself had not been able to pass through the invisible barrier in his heart and mind.
