Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 024: Killing Humans
13 Floor
Natan had already passed through two floors and what he saw was an unequipped human corpse, not a single monster was still alive. He guessed that if the Black Eagle Guild would not last long, perhaps until the 14th or 15th floor, they would end up.
Sure enough, when he was already on the 15th floor, he saw eight Players resting on the Dungeon wall as well as on the floor and pillars. The eight men were badly injured and a lot of blood soaked their clothes.
Three Warriors, three Mages, and two Archers. There was no Healer, then it seemed like they were not preparing enough potions to climb the Dungeon Tower.
Erina who was behind Natan turned her face to the other side so that her gaze would not meet those eight people.
One of the thirty-year-old men leaning against the pillar, wearing yellow armour started to move taking his sword lying on the floor.
Nathan, who heard the movement, stopped his footsteps from climbing the stairs to the 16th floor. "Don't take any unnecessary action, or I'll kill you all."
The random black haired man smirked. "Do you think you can beat me? I've risen to level ninety, and there are seven level eighty with me."
"Try it if you can." Natan deliberately provokes them, to be used as a teaching for Ayumi and Erina.
The middle-aged man pressed his feet on the floor, then darted very quickly towards Erina by raising the sword using both hands. "Die you boy!"
Natan turned around, running very quickly to the right side of Erina. He raised his sword horizontally, fended off the sword aimed at Erina, then pushed his sword upwards, making the middle-aged man lose his balance.
The middle-aged man who had fallen down was about to get back up, but when he looked up, in front of his head was already a sniper pointing at his forehead. "Tu-Wait—"
Without hesitation, Natan shot the middle-aged man dead, until his head exploded into milled meat. He will not hesitate anymore, doubt will only endanger the lives of his sisters.
Still not enough, Natan pointed his gun at the two remaining Warriors, shooting right in the head of the two to be killed in one shot.
The remaining two men and three women shuddered as they looked at the Guild Master and his murdered Vice. Quickly the five of them unleashed attacks each aimed at Ayumi and Erina.
Natan turned around and opened her coat as wide as possible, protecting Ayumi and Erina from the attack. He grimaced pretending like he was enduring the pain that assaulted him blindly.
"Ka-Bak ..." The two almost cried when they saw the injured Natan.
Natan tried to keep smiling even though his face looked like he felt pain from the attack of arrows and magic attacks. Until the blood that flowed at the corner of his lips, this blood did not come from the attack, but from his own bite.
Ayumi began to cry when she saw the blood, then she shouted loudly while slipping her right hand between Natan's waist. "Magic Barrier! Earth Walls! The Water Wall! Fire Chain!"
The blue mana began to be seen in Ayumi's palm, and formed a shield that was behind Natan's back, followed by a vibration on the floor which then saw a stone wall as an additional protector.
Still not enough, the floor in front of the stone wall began to crack revealing a gap that was not too large, then from inside the gap was seen water gushing up creating a wall.
Red light was seen from under Ayumi's feet, which then saw a chain with more number than before darting. The chains moved arched, dodging the walls of earth and water, which then tied the five people on the other side of the two protectors.
Natan loosened her arms as she felt two hands pushing against her chest, and as she let go of her arms, both Ayumi and Erina ran in different directions attacking the five people who had been bound.
"Light Stab!" The running Erina thrust her sword into the empty air in front of her.
From Erina's sword thrust, a golden-yellow light shot down another middle-aged man, and shattered his equipment. When the equipment was destroyed, Erina continued to run and thrust her sword into the man's stomach. "Ohhhhh!" He shouted with tears flowing.
Erina drew her sword, letting the man bleed. Then he turned his eyes to the woman in the back row. "You always torture me! I'll give you back!"
The remaining four people showed an unsightly look on their faces, they were very panicked when they saw their partner who was very easy to kill. Moreover, the extremely hot fire chains, lowered their blood every second and could not be released.
"You attacked my brother!" Ayumi also shouted with tears flowing in both her eyes. If there was no brother, he would not have survived, and when his brother left him, he did not know what to do. "Erina! Getaway!"
Erina who had already killed the two humans glanced to the back right, looking at Ayumi who was preparing for the attack. Immediately, he left his place.
Ayumi raised the Magic Wand from the Cyclops Boss who had the same appearance as the White Magic Wand, while touching the Wizard Book's on her left waist. "Fire Tornado!"
A red-colored magic circle was seen beneath the three living people, and then sparks kept popping up inside the circle, which then the ten-meter diameter flame surged up, rising, until it touched the Dungeon ceiling and spun like a tornado.
"Aarrrgghh!" The sound of shouting was earthy within the fire, revealing an extremely painful taste.
When it had killed, Ayumi and Erina vomited their entrails on the floor. They are very nauseous because they have killed for the first time.
The breaths of both of them gasped for breath, still trying to calm themselves from what the two of them had just done.
Nathan walked up to the two, standing in front of the wall of water that had disappeared. "Ajumi, Erina ..."
Ayumi and Erina looked back, saw Natan, then they ran while throwing their weapons. The two hugged Natan, then cried back so much as they pleased.
Natan rubbed the tops of both heads, trying to calm them both down. He knew what Ayumi and Natan were feeling right now, as he had also experienced the same thing while killing humans for the first time.
"Let's rest here first, we'll continue tomorrow morning. After all, it's starting late in the evening."
With the current state of Ayumi and Erina, it was best to take a break. If it is forced to continue, then only danger awaits. Moreover, on the next floor, the monsters that would be faced were level 80.
Ayumi and Erina nodded their heads.
Natan brought Ayumi and Erina down the spiral staircase, after she had stored the equipment thrown earlier. He unfolded the cloth as a pedestal, and he sat there, with both Ayumi and Erina sleeping, using his thigh as a pillow.
Kuro who was coiling behind Natan also fell asleep and used his body as both a cushion and a warmer.
Natan leaned against Kuro's soft and warm side belly, then he closed his eyes slowly after enveloping his two sisters.

The next morning
Natan woke up from her sleep, opening her eyes slowly. There were no longer any Ayumi and Erina on either of her thighs, and she had currently been covered with two blankets that she had used for both of her Sisters before falling asleep.
Natan looked at the time on the watch on his left hand, seen time has shown at 05:30. "It's really hard to count the time if you don't have a watch with you." He stood up from where he leaned while keeping a blanket or a pedestal.
"What do you two want to eat? I still have four months of food supplies for three meals plus Kuro." Natan approached Ayumi and Erina who were playing magic not far from him.
Both turned and stood up. "Instant noodles!"
Natan smiled faintly, and took out some cardboard instant noodles as well as cup instant noodles, with other complementary foods.
Ayumi and Erina start taking their favorite instant noodle cups, then pour water arrows that come from the combination of water magic and fire Ayumi.
"There are forty floors. If one day manages to clear three floors, at least we will be in the Dungeon Tower for two weeks."
Natan sipped mineral water in a bottle. "After we leave the Dungeon Tower, let's find some vacant land and build a base there."
Both of them raised their right hand, then nodded their spirits while speaking indistinctly due to the fullness of their mouths.
Natan smiled faintly, then took out ten kilograms of fresh meat that came from wolf meat, and he gave it to Kuro.
"Sister, what is the meaning of Armonia?" ask Ayumi.
"Armonia means harmony in Greek. The harmony here is not a musical instrument of the West, but rather a quiet and peaceful place, I want to create a place that can make everyone happy ..."
Natan paused for a moment, then continued with a solemn look, "Of course for those who deserve it, if we find a Player like the Black Eagle Guild, then, then we'll take up arms and face them all!"
Ayumi and Erina were speechless, both of them just kept quiet and nodded their heads in return.
