Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Chapter 37: CHAPTER 36 - The barrier shattered.

Garvit was aware of the situation, just like everyone else in the vicinity.

He knew that even Shera wouldn't be able to go against those orcs.

"Grrr…"

Shera had already told him about it.

Yes, he could talk to Shera, but that was not all, as he could talk with any animal, all because of his skill.

But that's not important right now.

What is important is the fact that Garvit was hoping to run away with Alex; they were a team after all.

He sat on Shera hurriedly, ready to rush out; he could tell that the barrier was about to go down, and looking at the ferocious and bloodthirsty expressions of the orcs, it was clear that they weren't in a mood for a party.

"Hey!"

Garvit called out for Alex as he urged Shera to move.

Shera, without delay, rushed toward Alex, ready to pick him up, but Alex didn't even turn to look at them, much less hurry to jump on Shera.

Garvit frowned, opening his lips to call out to Alex again, but…

"I will be moving alone."

*Swoosh*

Shera stopped in his tracks, shocked by Alex's decision.

Shera was a tiger, but, being trained from childhood, it learned to understand human language to an extent.

So, the moment Alex said those words, he understood what was going on.

"Growl..?"

His eyes turned up toward Garvit, who was sitting on his back, equally shocked.

"What the hell? Weren't we a team?!"

Garvit yelled from his spot. He was flabbergasted, unable to believe the words that came out of Alex's mouth.

'How the hell is he going to survive those things?!'

His eyes turned toward the orcs that were still drolling at the sight of the humans.

However, the next moment, he saw Alex moving away without even looking at them, much less replying.

"Hey! Say something!!"

Garvit gritted his teeth, frustrated that Alex was still trying to play the tough guy.

He thought that all of the calm and collected demeanor of Alex was just a tough guy act.

Sure, Alex was strong—very strong.

But the beings they had to face were not someone even he could go against.

'Fuck!'

Garvit's body trembled in frustration; his fists clenched hard.

"Grrr…"

But a pained groan from Shera broke him out of his thoughts.

"Ah, sorry, man…"

Garvit, realizing his mistake, apologized in a soft tone while stroking Shera's fur with care.

When Garvit clenched his fists, he, by mistake, pulled some fur along with it.

"Growl!"

"Graaa!"

In the next instant, however, he heard some other growls, filled with nothing but bloodlust, and his eyes turned toward the orcs that were now moving toward the barrier.

"Graww!"

Garvit's eyes trembled, and Shera growled in alarm.

They turned to look at Alex, not sure what to do.

They wanted to move together with Alex; it would be the best move for them, as they knew that Alex was powerful, but looking at the barrier that was almost off, they hesitated.

'ARGHHHH!!! What the hell!!'

Garvit screamed inwardly.

His frustration reached a new height.

But as he turned toward Alex, only to find him still busy with his own thoughts, he finally made up his mind.

"Let's go, Shera."

He uttered those words with a grit in his teeth, his eyes looking away from Alex.

"Grr…"

Shera growled, looking at Alex reluctantly, but as he felt Garvit's hand patting his back, he just moved back, his fur going soft.

Both of them glanced at Alex one last time before they rushed toward the side where the orcs were scarce.

Shera, as a tiger, was, of course, going to be faster than orcs.

But just as they were about to escape, they paused as they noticed something strange.

*Crack**Shatter*

The barrier covering them shattered into pieces, taking away the only thing that was stopping the orcs, but for some strange reason…

"Grrrr?"

"Guu?"

"Graaaa…."

The orc's focus wasn't on humans anymore.

It wasn't as if they found something else—no, nothing like that.

The orcs were still staring at the spot where the humans were standing; they were moving toward the same spot, but their eyes looked confused.

It was as if they were unable to find the humans who were standing right in their spots.

'What the hell is happening?'

The humans saw the confused orcs walking toward them, sniffing the air, trying to trace the humans, but it seemed that they were failing miserably because of the frustrated looks on their faces.

*Baam*

"GAAHHHHHH!"

One of the orcs smashed the club he was holding on the ground and yelled in irritation.

The club landed right in front of a guy.

*Woosh*

The guy, stunned in his spot, felt the wind blast on his face.

The strike from the orc was strong enough to send a wave of wind at the guy.

The guy's eyes widened, and his mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water before...

"Ahhhhhh!"

The guy screamed in fright as he fell back to the ground.

But just as he fell, the orc that was standing closest to him snapped his head toward the guy and jumped right on top of him.

*Boom**Splat*

The guy didn't even get the chance to scream, as the last thing he saw was the large body of the orc right above him before he was turned into a meat paste.

"Grraahhhh!"

"Raaaaaaaa!!!"

"Groooooo!"

The other orcs, seeing the blood and gore on the floor, hurriedly rushed to the spot.

"RAAAAAAAA!"

*Baam*

One of the orcs dashed to the orc that was sitting on the blood paste and pushed him to the ground before he started devouring the meat paste on the ground.

"Graaaa!"

Then another orc punched that orc, smashing the guy away from the dead guy, and started to eat it.

"GROWWLL!!"

Then again.

"GROOOOO!"

And again.

"Raaaaaa!"

And again…

…..

…

..

.

The orc went on fighting for the body of the dead guy, who didn't even seem to be human anymore.

All it looked like was a piece of meat that seemed to have been thoroughly crushed.

[Just what you would expect from a bird-brain mortal.]

The shocked humans then heard a sneer.

One that was filled with ridicule.

All of the humans, although still shaken, turned their heads toward the system, who was shaking her head as she jeered at them.

[Can't even read the situation.]

She scoffed as she looked at the dead guy's body being eaten by the orcs.

Unlike the humans, she didn't feel a tinge of disgust or terror when she looked at that diabolic scene.

[You should've focused more on the rewards of the last tutorial—oh well, who am I even talking to?

You're already dead.]

The system just shrugged in the end, but as it was supposed to, it did drop a hint for the humans.

{Now if you all have even that small bird brain up in your heads, you would be able to understand exactly what is going on.}

With those fleeting thoughts, the system vanished, ignoring the stupified humans who were still staring at her dumbly.
