Chapter 209: Cross Family Descends II

Are you nervous? Merlin asked.

A little bit, Miles answered honestly as he looked at the ground from the now slowing down plane. There were thousands upon thousands of dead people walking aimlessly all around the city. Although they were high in the sky, the sheer mass of dead people allowed them to see them.

It is okay. It is your first time in the Dead World after all. Merlin said as he patted his younger brothers shoulder.

Hah! Scarry cat! Marcela came from their back and mocked Miles with an ugly smirk.

Do you want me to show Miles the first time you were in the dead world? Merlin said with a smirk.

Merlin! Why you are always siding with the stupid little brother? Marcela snorted and turned back with a pout. Miles ignored the drama queen and looked at the ground. The old buildings were covered with vines and moss, strange animals mutated for unknown reasons were flying everywhere.

Iron Beak Eagle, 3 oclock! The pilots warning came from the com while Miles was looking at the ground. He turned his sight to where the pilot told them and saw a giant bird flying towards them. Eagle was longer than 4 meters, and its wingspan was 12 meters. It was bigger than an SUV. Its beak was shining like metal, while its claws looked deadlier than swords. Its eyes maliciously eying the plane flying silently and slowly.

Serzen, deal with the guest, Mercer said without opening his eyes.

Yes, sir, Serzen smirked. He winked at Miles when he passed by him. He grabbed the sniper rifle and raised its nuzzle. Not a second passed between him raising the weapon and aiming, a gunshot reverberated in the sky. Before Miles could look at the bird from Serzen, the bird's head gushed open with a bullet sparkling with lightning.

I am getting rusty. Working as a guard slowed my aiming time. Serzen said after looking at its now dead enemy.

What the hell? Miles looked at the man to see if he was joking.

Shocked? Merlin smiled and explained. Serzen is one of the best gunners in Unity. His superpower and ultimate are all about this ability, thus it is expected for him to be this good, no?

I know his superpower is Sniper Eyes, allowing him to see far far away, but what Ultimate does he have allowing him to become one of the best gunners? Miles asked with excitement.

His ultimate is Lock-On. Merlin smiled, and said, He can lock on a target, and can optimize his aim accordingly. Wind, obstacles, and other factors are calculated immediately in his mind thanks to this ability and allows him to fire without wasting a second. Although we were flying at such a fast speed, he was able to shoot the eagle from the eye thanks to this ability. He can calculate our speed, the change in trajectory, and the eagle's response time with wind speed in less than a second.

Miles looked at his brother with his mouth agape. How can you evade it?

You cant, Serzen answered from his seat. You can only block if you have a stronger energy defense than me.

That is so powerful. Miles looked with stars in his eyes.

ETA 60 seconds. The pilot's voice came once again. Mercer, Malcolm, and others rose from their seats and grabbed bags from the side of the plane. Miles followed them and grabbed one of the parachutes.

This is your first time using a parachute, right? Malcolm asked, approaching Miles.

Yes, Miles answered honestly. He wouldnt boast falsely in such a situation. Jumping from a fast plane from such an altitude wasnt easy. If he were to lose control, he would be surrounded by waves of walking dead.

Alright, you come with me. Malcolm nodded and attached a metal apparatus around two of them so they wouldnt be separated after they jumped from the plane.

After 60 seconds, near a 10 stories high building, everyone jumped while the plane was drawing circles. Miles jumped with his father and waited for him to give the signal. The rush of the free-falling made blood rush his brain, and he wanted to scream in joy, but it wouldnt be wise given the territory.

After free-falling more than 10 seconds, Malcolm tapped his shoulders and both opened their parachutes. Malcolm led them to the top of the building, and they all landed there.

Alright boys and girls, we are here. Serzen will stay on top of this building to watch your back, while I will be around here to deal with the portal when it opens.

Isak and Flip, you two will build the temporary defense line with the wall and steel, while the rest will cover you. This building, from now on will be our base of operation.

Ruben and Axel, you two will check the building and prepare beds for the rest.

After that, we will start clearing this city and approach the colosseum where The Pope had built its nest. Any questions? Good, then move. Mercer ordered and jumped from the top of the building to the next. Miles looked at the distance and calculated the distance to be more than 100 meters. He was shocked beyond his belief over and over again ever since he boarded the plane.

First, Serzen demonstrated the wonders of higher-tier Mind Serums. Although Ultimate was as important, thanks to Mind Serums, he could calculate the flight path of a bird from a plane flying at the speed of sound and could shoot the monster from the eye.

Then Mercer showed how strong his body was. Jumping over 100 meters with one lap was nothing to scoff off. Considering that his superpower wasn't a body enchantment one.
