Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 29: CHAPTER 28 - Teaming up.

"Look out!"

The girl, who wanted to save Ridha from the start, yelled in alarm as she saw a goblin rushing at Alex from behind.

But Alex, who had already tested out his strength and knew how strong he was, didn't even look at the goblin.

To Rohit's distress, Alex continued staring at him with the same cold eyes.

For a second, Rohit had thought that the girl's yell would save him from the cold look he was receiving, but he was wrong.

Now, he had a pair of chilly golden eyes staring at him, with no emotion apparent in them.

His body was feeling cold, and he had goosebumps all over his body.

Rohit finally regretted yelling before.

With his head down and his eyes looking at his feet, Rohit tried to apologize.

"I-I am sorry; I-I didn't mea-"

But before he could complete his words….

*Woosh**Pierce*

"Kiek!"

*Gasp* X n (Rohit couldn't tell how many people gasped, so 'n' number.)

The sound of flesh being pierced was heard, followed by an agonized grunt and gasps of the people around him.

Rohit meekly looked up, curious about what it could be, but just as he looked up, his eyes widened again…

'Wha….'

He hurriedly averted his eyes, lowering his head again.

What he saw was Alex standing right in his place, staring at him with the same look while his dagger was plunged into the head of the goblin who was sneaking up on him.

Alex wasn't even looking at the goblin; it was as if he had swung his hand backward and by chance, it pierced the goblin's head.

But that was just what Rohit thought; everyone else saw clearly what happened.

"Kek…."

The goblin, whose head was pierced, seemed to be still alive as it let out a weak groan.

But…

*Slick**Spurt*

Alex retracted the dagger with a snap of his hand, leaving a green blood trail in the air.

"Kuak!"

And with a last cry of pain, the goblin fell to the ground.

*Tremble*

Rohit, who heard it all, had his body jerk on every little sound from Alex's side.

His mind started imagining himself in the goblin's place.

He didn't want to, but the way Alex was looking at him while killing the goblin made him think of that.

Now, his legs were trembling, but...

"ROAR!"

A loud roar was heard, causing the people to move away, making space for the tiger to move.

Shera, who had roared just now, rushed toward Alex with Garvit on its back.

Both of them had been standing in their spots after Alex left, but looking at the situation, Garvit decided to move again.

"Roar!"

And in just a few seconds, Shera arrived in front of Alex, directly slashing his paws at a goblin that happened to come in his way.

"Keeee!!"

The goblin could do nothing but die under Shera's long and sharp nails that tore it apart.

The other goblins paused, unsure of what to do.

Alex was already enough to scare them with how easily he killed the last goblin; now there was a large tiger with him.

The goblins were angry at Alex, and they wanted to kill him, but they could see more women in the group, enticing them to forget their anger.

It was hard for the goblins to decide between revenge and horny feelings.

"Kiek...?"

"Krrrr…."

"Kakaka…"

....

….

..

.

The goblins started voicing out their thoughts to each other.

No one could tell what they were talking about or what they were discussing, but the humans knew that it was related to them, and in the end, one of them started running toward the group.

Alex, however, looked away from Rohit, staring at Garvit now, much to Rohit's relief.

"Sigh…."

Rohit sighed audibly when he felt the cold eyes moving away from him.

He knew that Alex wasn't going to attack him, much less attack; the system prevented it from happening.

But he still felt uneasy under Alex's eyes; he felt like he was getting marked as prey.

And just like Rohit had thought, Alex wasn't going to attack Rohit, at least not for now.

But his face was now locked in Alex's memory; he wasn't going to let go of someone who directed their killing intent at him, which Rohit did a while ago.

Now, Rohit was on Alex's hit list.

"Let's team up."

Garvit, on the other hand, hurriedly put up his proposal.

He could tell that Alex didn't want to get involved with people; it was clear to him by now, but Garvit still decided to come forward.

Garvit jumped down from Shera, letting the tiger run toward the goblins, dashing at them.

"Roar!"

Shera lunged at the goblins, who froze when they saw a large beast glaring at them with its claws out.

Alex, however, just ignored that, staring at Garvit.

It was clear from his expression that he didn't think much about Garvit's proposal, or more like he didn't see why he should do it.

Garvit, who could somewhat guess that, moved closer to Alex.

*Grip*

Alex gripped the dagger tighter in warning, and although Garvit's body jerked for a second, he still walked close to Alex.

'Thank god I have the bluffer ability...'

Garvit thanked the god as he sighed in relief before he moved his lips.

"You should be able to tell that I'm stronger than all of them, right?"

Garvit uttered this as he pointed at the group of people who were marveling at the sight of Shera killing the goblins.

"Don't you think it would be better to team up with me then? At least I won't get in your way."

Garvit concluded as he stood in front of Alex, looking into his eyes.

Alex did the same, staring back into Garvit's eyes with the same cold look.

Inwardly, however….

He was listening to the AI point out the thing that he had been pondering about for a while.

According to the system, if no teams are formed, then everyone in the area is considered a team.

Alex was strong; he knew that now.

He was much stronger than the goblins, but that didn't mean he was strong enough to take care of everyone in the area.

He can only be in one place.

So, while he was fighting at the front, what if the group was attacked from behind?

At first, Alex thought that it was fine, and he would ask for the people to stay still and let him kill all of the goblins; in return, he would give them protection.

But the stakes are too high for him to try that.

'I can't take a risk of losing any of my skills.'

Alex muttered inwardly with an expression that was the most serious one he could make.

Unlike other people, he had a mythical and legendary skill, something that could be a table-turner in any situation.

So, Alex knew the importance of the skills.

Much more so when he didn't know if he could get those skills back or if he could have a skill as strong as them in the future.

In the end, he decided to accept Garvit's offer, but...

"I have a condition."
