Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 189: CHAPTER 188 - Emberclaw Again.

Alex wasn't going to kill anyone—at least not directly. He didn't want someone to leak the information about him going back on his words; that would make him lose all the image of the honest devil he had created.

But he never said that he wouldn't kill them indirectly.

He would definitely do it, even more so when it was Urmina, someone whom Alex had decided to eliminate no matter what.

The moment he heard one of the three guys that came close to him mention Urmina, he knew where he had to go if he wanted to kill her.

So he jumped down the tree with a woosh and rushed toward the same level 35 zone that he had cleared some time ago.

It was close to this area. Alex was only clearing the gates that were close to the egg so that he could move near his egg if needed.

That was why it didn't take him long to reach the zone, and ignoring the Pyrovoltuses that tried to attack him, he dashed straight for the boss—the Emberclaw.

"Grrr..."

Soon, he was standing right in front of the beast, staring into its eyes as it did the same, both staring at each other for a second before Alex zoomed toward his area.

"ROOOAAARRR!"

The Emberclaw, still able to recall how it had died, roared in anger before it rushed behind Alex.

It had made up its mind that it wasn't going to lose this time; that was when it noticed something: With all the bush in the way, it was hard to keep an eye on Alex.

It decided to use its ability—thunder dash. But before it could, it found itself standing in an area filled with humans. They were everywhere, and although there were not many of them, it could sense around 200 humans in the area, causing its hunger for flesh to rage.

"ROOOAAAARRRR!!"

It roared in frenzy as it rushed toward the closest human, who stood frozen in fear, only to be eaten with half of his body torn apart by the Emberclaw's jaws.

"GRAAAAAA!!"

The beast roared again in victory and delight. It had forgotten about Alex, as right now, all it wanted was to eat more and more humans.

It was then that the beast felt something surrounding it.

"Grr?"

It tried to move toward the next human, but it couldn't move, or more like, it found it hard to move; it was as if his body was tied down by something.

"WHAT ARE YOU ALL DOING?!?! ATTACK!!"

It was then that everyone in the surroundings heard a shout, causing the humans to break out of their disbelief and the beast to finally realize that it was being bound by a human's skill.

The Yell was from Urmina, who was using her skill to bind the beast in its spot, and she was the one who ordered the others to attack while it was down.

She didn't care about the lives of her subordinates, but the moment she saw this beast, standing threatening over all of them, ready to chew them all and not even let out a burp, she knew that she wouldn't be able to defeat this beast alone.

She needed the help of all those present here, even if they had to just become meat shields for her—she would need them no matter what.

"Gra!"

The beast, however, growled in dissatisfaction as it shook its head, wanting to break free, but before it could do that...

"AHHHHHHH!"

"TAKE THIS!"

"GO DIE!"

Multiple attacks of different magnitudes were shot at it, causing it to clench its jaw in anger.

Just because it lost to one of them, did the humans start thinking that he was easy to deal with?!

"ROARRR!"

The beast roared in anger, ignoring the attacks shot at it.

*Snap**Snap*

The beast's surroundings blurred with heat waves, and thunder sparkled on its scales as it moved forward, breaking the webs that were restricting its movements.

Those webs were melting due to the heat of its scales, and soon, the beast was free of the binding.

"ROAR!!"

It roared as it lunged at the human close to it.

*Khlich*

It bit off the human's upper body, letting the remains fall to the ground as it moved toward the next human.

It wasn't killing them just because it was hungry; it enjoyed eating humans, and each human tasted different, so even if it ate just a bit of them, it was going to eat all of the humans in the surroundings.

"Oh no, you don't!"

Urmina, however, wasn't going to let the beast do whatever it pleases.

She quickly used both silk-strengthening and venomous webs, making the string of webs more durable and dangerous, but before she could even use it...

*Crackle*

Yellow lights flashed on the beast's skin before they gathered in its claws, and before the attacks could even hit it, the beast smashed its foot on the ground.

*BOOM*

The ground shook as cracks started to appear on it before furious thundering whips emerged from the ground, attacking anyone close to it.

"ARGHHHHHH!!"

"NOOO!! Save me!"

"GAHHHHHH!"

"AHHHHHHHHHH!"

Humans struck by the attack roared in pain, bleeding from the part where they were hit, some already dead with a single strike, causing Urmina's eyes to widen in fright and her teeth to grind against each other.

It was a bit too strong from what she had thought.

She used the web she had attacked to the tent to pull herself away from the range of the attack, wanting to leave before the whips of thunder attacked her.

*Woosh*

She pulled herself closer to the tent, but just then, the beast's eyes caught sight of her.

"Grah!"

It huffed with a frown, and one of the thunder whips shot toward Urmina, causing her eyes to widen more than before.

'Shit!'

She cursed inwardly, increasing the speed of the pull, but could she leave the thunder behind in speed?

*Slish—Crackle*

"ARGHHHHH!!"

The whip of thunder slashed her on the back, taking away a chunk of her flesh along with it, and the beast, with a smirk, finally turned back to the humans in front of it, wanting to finish them off before he took care of Urmina.

*Thud*

Urmina fell to the ground next to the tent, her eyes fixed on the beast, only to see it not even looking at her, as if it knew that she wasn't going to get away.

It was humiliating. A mere beast being so dismissive about her was infuriating, but by now, she knew that she wasn't a match for the beast, so she tried to get up and run away from this place.

If she knew that it was a level 35 beast, a classed one at that—something she wasn't aware of even now—then she wouldn't even have started the fight when she did; she would've just ordered her subordinates to scatter in different directions.

Now, with the beast feasting up on her subordinates, it was the best time to run away, but just as she was about to get up, a cold palm covered her mouth, causing her eyes to widen.

"HMMM—!!"

She tried to shout, hoping to break free, but it was cut short as she felt a sharp and cold metal touching her neck, and the moment her eyes fell on the dagger's blade, her eyes widened in terror and disbelief.

'N-No way...'

It was Alex...
