Apocalypse Monster
Chapter 044: Sangiang Island
Natan continued to shoot all the incoming and endless monsters. He also ordered all Skeletons to split around Mammoth House to repel the impending attack.
Due to the blizzard being blocked by the Magic Barrier, Natan bleached to stand on the roof of the slightly snow-covered building. It was easier to attack him from above because he could see around, different inside the room that just walked to and fro.
Three other people who were inside the Mammoth House also came out and followed Natan who was on the roof, hoping to help Natan to kill other monsters.
"Sister Vely, hasn't Brother bought a new skill yet?" Natan tried to look at the statistical information of Vely, and there was no new skill even though the old skill had already reached the maximum level.
"Nothing interesting, all the skills only provide blood-reduction damage without any visual effects." Vely shook his head slowly with bulging cheeks.
Natan could only fall silent and let out a long sigh. Then he refocused on the monsters west to north clockwise.
Ayumi and Erina still maintained the protective guard without making another attack, it was all due to the limited visibility, unlike Natan who could freely see in the darkness.
"Sister, Ayu can't see it. How many monsters are coming?" asked Ayumi who was standing in the middle of the roof, and was looking at Natan who was constantly moving.
Nathan, who was attacking westward, moved to attack south. "So just west, northwest and north. But now from south to north, their numbers are growing, there may be three thousand monsters ..."
"The hardest to fight are the Snowman and the Ice Golem, because I have to put out a huge amount of fire attacks."
The three nodded simultaneously and understood. The number of monsters was not too much because it had previously fought more, but currently it was greatly harmed due to limited visibility.
Except for Natan, they could only see as far as the Magic Barrier was formed, which was within a radius of 100 meters from Ayumi.
Being unable to do anything, the three finally went back in so as not to disturb Natan who was troubled by having to move around avoiding the three who were in the way.
Natan kept shooting until two hours had passed, he had already killed countless monsters and decided to rest for a while while waiting for another wave of monsters. But after waiting for half an hour, but no other movement, he finally ordered the Mammoth to return to walking.

Ten Days Later
In a tiring journey and always met with monsters, finally Mammoth House has arrived at Paku Beach which is at the western end of Java Island.
The sea water there had frozen into thick ice. It has been 24 days since the snow began to fall, and until now the sky is still dark because of the very cold weather. I don't know until when it's repeated, but luckily they've had enough supplies for ten years.
Nathan opened the door and sat on the front porch. He looked at the frozen sea and looked quite calm without any sign of monster life, but he knew that under the ice there was danger lurking.
Natan took a deep breath and then exhaled slowly. He calmed himself and fixed his thoughts. "We will run when the day is a little sunny. Kuro already had shoes whose bottoms were rough and thorny, it should be very easy for him to run."
"The Sunda plate stretches for thirty kilometers, and it is likely that Sangiang Island is only twelve kilometers. With that distance, it would take at least two to three minutes."
"Isn't that dangerous?" Vely really did not believe in Natan's proposal.
Natan let out a long breath and turned to lean against the fence. He looked at Vely who seemed to disapprove of his suggestion. "It's the only way. If we wait for the oceans to melt, it will be even more dangerous. It's in these circumstances that the time is right, because the ice is able to hold the monsters in the ocean."
In contrast to Vely who disagreed less, Ayumi and Erina were already preparing to cross the frozen sea. Even Kuro has also been put on a complete set of equipment.
Natan turned back and jumped down from the Mammoth House. He walked close to the shore to find out if Mapping caught any living creatures within a 400-meter radius of him.
A faint smile was engraved on Natan's face upon learning there were no living beings besides them. He must continue to activate this skill, and pay attention to it always so as not to be late in making decisions.
Natan looked up and looked back, looking at everyone who had been preparing to sit on Kuro's back. Mammoth House has also been kept, along with the Skeleton that began to merge with its shadow.
"Make sure you're ready. I'll give you a cue when a monster approaches, and make sure to activate the protector" Natan looked at the three with a serious look.
Natan let out a long breath, then dashed towards Sangiang Island above the frozen sea level, followed by Kuro who was carrying three people on his back.
Natan was getting ready with weapons in both hands. He did not want to react too late in killing monsters, because it was too late just a little, their lives would be lost.
It didn't take long since they had already cut halfway. There was no sign of monsters approaching them, as there was indeed no life within the ocean.
Although it managed half the distance to Sangiang Island, but they were still wary if suddenly monsters came without being read by Mapping radar.
"Four hundred meters to the right!" Natan screamed when a shark-type monster entered the range. "Now!"
Ayumi raised her magic wand as high as possible, and spoke the name of her skill. "Magic Barrier!"
Loud booms were heard as the shark began to jump from deep in the water, smashing the ice floor and hitting the protective wall. A strong wind also blew and made the white mist block the view.
Natan stops running and directs his sniper at the blocking fog, but he can see it clearly through the information of sharks moving on the ice surface. "Increase Shot!"
Eleven Mana Bullets shot into the thick fog capable of killing monsters in a single strike, given the resulting damage of 3,533,200 Points.
He tried not to be greedy and left the Drop Item that looked extremely valuable, but his life was more precious than the Drop Item that could still be searched elsewhere.
"Go!"
Natan returns giving a warning and runs beside Kuro.
The journey continues with a tension that greatly overwhelmed them, even making Ayumi always release the healing ability, with Vely who calms everyone mentally to not lose their mind.
Time continued to run, the distance they traveled less and less and could already see the island not far from them at this time. Every second of it was precious and felt extremely long, although their running speed could be said to almost match the speed of sound.
When the distance was only one kilometer left, Mapping suddenly caught a monster with level 200 and the size was very large from the shark that Natan killed earlier.
"Continue running! Don't look back!"
Natan turned around to hold back for a moment the monster that was about to appear, whose swimming speed almost matched Natan's running speed on the ice surface.
Mapping caught the monster moving underwater, but it had yet to appear - like a shark before it that destroyed the ice floor. Until the next second, the monster was already under the ice where Natan was on foot.
Natan lowered her head, looking at the large mouth that opened with sharp fangs. Without further ado, he jumped as high as possible to avoid the monster that was a Megalodon.
Crangs!
The ice floor was smashed from being hit by the twenty-meter-long Megalodon and chasing after the jumping Natan.
Natan aimed his weapon and pulled the sniper trigger without any hesitation at all.
Mana bullets shot down towards the mouth of the Megalodon that opened very wide, which was felt to be able to swallow the bus.
"Bullet Rain! Explosion Bullet!"
Dozens of bullets rained down on Megalodon's mouth, creating an unpretentious explosion that began to inflict the usual wild damage. But it is unfortunate not to immediately kill him, considering the vast amount of water that is in the body of Megalodon.
The blazing flames created a long shadow towards the west. Natan did not waste this extremely rare opportunity. "Shadow Step!"
Nathan turned into a thin shadow that moved 100 meters to the west. When he had reappeared, he pointed his weapon again at the bottom of the Megalodon which was one of his weaknesses. "Increase Shot!"
"Skeleton Mage! Get up! Fire arrow shot!"
The skeletons of bones started to rise from within Mo Lian's not-so-thick shadow, then instantly shot out several arrows made of fire.
Megalodon screamed in an indistinct, yet painful voice in the ear. But it did not make Natan waver, he still shot the monster that almost ate it earlier.
[Global : The First Player to Kill the King of the Seas, Megalodon]
[Reward : +20 All Stat]
"Eh?" Natan does not realize if it has managed to kill the monster, it is because of the fire that blocks the view and he does not use Appraisal. "Ak-I, did it?"
"Skeleton Knight, get up and grab all the Megalodon Drop Items."
After giving the order, Natan went to Sangiang Island, following his comrade who had already arrived there first.
