Lord of the Time: I Can Reincarnate Infinitely

Chapter 62: 62: The Book of Apokalips

After the monster's explosion. The members of the hunting party waited for the cloud of dust to disappear. It was only after twenty minutes before the area or the scope of the explosion became visible again.

It had scorched the ground that it would be fitting to call it the land of black since the ground took the color of the charcoal. Furthermore, the corpse of the Apokalip, with its flesh and body parts in bits and pieces. The black mist that came out of its body turned out the of self-destruction.

Without rest, the members went to the mouth of the cave and had Miles go down to it to save Fatty and Clifford, who were stuck like stepsisters. Just like that, Miles carried them all the way up. The two didn't have much wound in them, they were physically fine. However, it couldn't be said about their mental state.

They look scared witless. However, Fatty was the first to calm down after he saw Caleb, Luna, and Andre around. Then he immediately came back to his cheerful state. Unlike Clifford, who looks depressed.

The hunting party decided to rest for an hour while also conversing about the Apokalip they had fought. Of course, Caleb listened intently on the sideline while also talking with the four teenagers about his one-month training. He knew it was time to brag, of course. He also did it to lighten the mood.

From the conversation of the members of the Hunting Party. Most Apokalips have random appearances and can't be distinguished. However, there were still known creatures recorded in the Encyclopedia of Apokalips. It was a book that humanity created to record all the monsters they saw, heard, and fought. It lists all their traits, behaviors, strengths, weaknesses, descriptions, and threat levels. Unfortunately, that book was only available in the City of Phenos.

Caleb wasn't naïve enough to think that there were no other kingdoms that survived out there. Just like them, any kingdom that survived would do its best to struggle.

With that... An hour passed. The rest was over, and everyone had recovered their physical energy. Caleb also felt that he had recovered thirty percent of his taboo energy.

Fushigiro looked at the four teenagers; Fatty, Luna, Andre, and Clifford with a gentle smile on his face.

"Are you kids fully rested?"

The four nodded and said in unison.

"Yes, captain."

"That's good then." The smile on Fushigiro's face turned serious."But before that. Are you kid sure that there's one Apokalip that attacked the house?"

Luna and Andre looked at each other. However, it was Fatty who answered this time. Fatty recounted the event from the start right to the moment when Luna and Andre have to carry them to the well.

"There's only one I swear. If there were two, we would have been all dead by now."

Jin smiled. "Fair enough."

Fushigiro also nodded. Then he cleared his throat, trying to get the attention of all the members. "Well, it might be dangerous to go there now. However, we have to get our equipment from there and other necessary items that we need for our daily lives. We can't wait for another day since the commotion might attract other Apokalips to the house. And yes, we can't live in that place anymore with just us."

'Hmmm... It seems we need to find another place to live and even build one.'

Caleb couldn't help but think.

"But where are going now after that, captain?" Rina asked worriedly.

A trace of hesitation appeared on Fushigiro's calm face at this moment since he also didn't know how to proceed. After all, now they don't have the four women to do the house chores, the house to hide them from Apokalips, and even the four elderly to watch out for the house.

After the Apokalip attacked the house. It can be said that it had put them into a dead end. Other Apokalips would discover the place more easily because of the traces. The area where they built the house was supposed to be hard to discover since was naturally surrounded by various forests and rivers. It had kept them safe for years. But now that it was discovered, it's not secured anymore.

Fushigiro heaves a long sigh.

"We should find another place to build a hiding place, but that's only a temporary solution. Soon, this place would become the haven of Apokalips. Even the Forest of Death and Sasmuan River would be affected. In simple words, we don't have a place to go..." He trailed his words purposely and looked at every member with a grim expression. "Soon, even the spots where we hunt would be taken over by those damned monsters. Our backs are against the walls this time."

Hearing this, everyone became silent. The mood became tense and gloomy. Even Jin, who acts as a think tank for the group, didn't speak this time. He knew they were nowhere to go.

At this time, Caleb cleared his throat. "We still have one last option."

Dunn sighed. "What do you have to say? Build a house on the Sasmuan River? That's not feasible either, since the Apokalips would walk all around this place soon. No one would prevent them from going there."

"That's right. Speak... What idea do you have?" Miles rolled his eyes.

"The only thing we can do is..." Caleb looked in the direction of the Forest of Death, his eyes deepened as if they had penetrated beyond the Sasmuan River and the Bridge. "To survive, we can only gamble. Go to the last wall and enter the City of Phenos."

"..."

Athena, Rina, Fatty, Luna, Dunn... Everyone looked at Caleb wide-eyed, as if they were looking at someone crazy.

"That's suicide!" Athena face-palmed.

"Do we have a choice?" Caleb asked.

Miles snorted and gave Caleb a look. "That would only send us to our death faster."

Caleb just shrugged as a response. He looked at Fushigiro and Jin, who had stayed silent, and said:

"It's just my suggestion since we would just delay our deaths if we stay here. Just like what the captain said, our backs are against the wall this time. This place would soon be filled with those darned monsters. Although the journey to the Wall of Hope might be suicide. At least there's hope! Would you rather die like a coward than die fighting?"

At this moment, Fushigiro sighed.

"Johan is right. That's the only way to survive. It's the only chance for some of us to survive. So are you in? Do guys want to die in this place or fight your way to live?"
