My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

Chapter 174 The Big Guns Joined The Battle

"You can't say that. His Majesty knows what he's doing" Jackson shook his head. He knew how her sister loved him but things are different now. He couldn't cower because he was afraid of the crawlers. Besides, this was the order of the king.

"Don't try to be brave. Come back to me alive" Addison said since she knew there was nothing she could do.

"I promise."

Creak!

The exit opened and the cold frosty wind blew to Jackson, sending a tingling chill that prick his skin. He shivered and circulated in power to wade off the cold. He took a deep breath and stepped out of the ark.

'The frosty atmosphere is deadlier than I imagined.' He thought and raced toward the fighting scene.

"Protect the newbie. His ability would assist you in killing the crawler much faster." Nika and the Pipe man heard Justin's voice inside their head.

Bang!

A crawler was sent flying, followed by pipe man weapon, striking its mouth. What follows was the howl of the crawler as it dissipates into ashes and the evil beings escape into the atmosphere. Killing the crawler, the duo turned their heads and looked at the newbie rushing toward them.

"When did he level up?" Pipe man turned to Nika and asked.

"I don't know. This is my first time knowing he had power." Nika responded.

"Watch out!!" Pipe man shouted as he saw a crawler jumping out from a hidden spot and pounced on Jackson.

Jackson froze for a couple of seconds as he didn't expect the sudden attack. He watches the deadly mouth full of deadly teeth crashing toward him without knowing what to do.

Inside the ark, Addison failed to breathe as she watched her brother being attacked. Her heart pounded, wanting to jump out of her chest.

'Run!' She screamed in her heart.

Bang!

Just when the crawler wanted to swallow him, a sudden attack came out of the blue and struck its enlarged mouth.

Screech!

It howled miserably and crashed to the ground, wriggling in pain. It blinked its gray eyes continuously as it tried to close its mouth but the pain assaulting its body made it quite impossible.

"Don't just stand there like a fool. Come here and watch out." Pipe man said with a stern expression as his metal weapon struck the crawler once again, finishing the job.

Jackson recovered from his initial shock and wiped the bead of sweat from his forehead. He took a deep breath and looked at his surroundings in weariness and rushed toward the Pipe man.

'That was close!' He thought as he could hear the pounding of his heart.

"Don't let that border you. It happens sometimes. What's your ability?" Nika asked if he sent a powerful weapon into the chest of a crawler.

"Ash creation?" Jackson replied in a low voice.

"What!?" Both Nika and Pipe man said in unison.

"Yes… I can create ashes from the surroundings…"

"And?"

"Nothing…"

"What do you mean by nothing?" The duo asks once again as If they could read each other's mind.

Jackson rolled his eyes when he saw their expression. Is my power not practical power? He thought as he feel slightly dejected

"Nothing means nothing." He grumbled.

"Don't get us wrong. We aren't looking down on you. You just tell us ash creation, without telling if it has any usefulness, like attacking, defense, and maybe corroding. You get the gist?" Nika said.

"Oh" it dawned on him what the two meant. "I don't know how to explain but you find out when I use it," Jackson said with a tight lip smile.

"Then what are you doing? Get to work…" Pipe man said, attacking other crawlers.

Although the duo was talking with him, their attack never ceased from attacking the crawlers. Thus, the ability to multi-task stunned Jackson. Most times, the crawler would almost eat them, but they would manage to evade it. At first, he was scared of fighting the crawlers but seeing Pipe man and Nika's confidence made his blood boil.

'I can do this. I can.' He shouted in his heart.

Jackson closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The heavens marking on his forehead glowed and he opened his eyes. He raised both his hand slowly and the air vibrated, stirring like whirlpools. The frost wind around him disappeared into thin air as the temperature rose.

In a couple of seconds, ashes appeared in thin air and covered the surrounding area. Nika and Pipe man looked at the ashes cloud from the corner of their eyes with shock written all over their faces.

"Do you sense it?" Nika whispered.

"I do." Pipe man squinted his brow as he could, the power from Jackson was totally different from theirs.

Jackson didn't know what was going on in there as he controlled the ash cloud to cover them and the crawlers.

Screech!

The crawler howled loudly when they were touched by the deadly aches. They retreated subconsciously with their gray eyes looking back and forth for the source of the ashes. The crawlers outside the ashes didn't dare to touch the ashes as they retreated. When everyone saw this, they widened their ashes for a moment before a wild grin appeared on their faces.

'So they are scared of ashes.' They thought.

"Kill them all!" A furious yell came from the ark. No one knew who shouted but it got the attention of the people as they began to chant. "Kill them all."

Nika looked at the scared crawler and looked at Jackson with a new look. He looked at Pipe and saw the confused and excited smile on his face.

"What are you waiting for?" Jackson said with a hint of pride in his voice. "Do you need an invitation to kill them?"

Hahaha!

The duo laughed and pounced toward the crawlers. Since the ashes couldn't hurt them, they behaved wantonly inside the ashes cloud and killed the crawler. Hence, the crawler turns to fishes on the chopping board.

"NO!" A miserable howl came from the leader of the Horde as they watched the crawler being decimated.

They gnashed their teeth and picked up their weapon. They looked at their leader with their broad chest going up and down. The horde leader noticed the piercing gaze of its follower and exhaled and inhaled deeply. These human specimens were the work of their king and with their death, their king would be furious. Unless they brought back the human, their life was over.

"Leader, we should make the humans pay. We shouldn't let them go when they have killed the evil spirit host." One of the hordes said while grinding its teeth.

"Of course, we can't let them go. They're going to pay for their crime." The horde leader said with his eyes burning with fire.

Crack!

The frost around them shattered to pieces displaying their huge body. More than twenty hordes were glaring at the bridge with their huge weapon in their hands. The Hordes couldn't contain their urge to race toward the humans to kill them and drink their blood.

The Horde leader looked at ashes and knitted his brows. What kind of power is that? It thought as a slight frown appeared on its face.

'Whatever it was when I killed it, I will find out.' It snickered and looked at his men. It picks its huge sickle and races it up.

"Charge." He howled in Horde language.

An evil grin appeared on the faces of the hordes as they raced toward the bridge with steps leaving a huge spider crack behind. The 3-meter hordes stood out and thus, those in the ark could see the hordes.

"What are those?" A shriek came from the ark and everyone lost the smile on their faces and looked at the unknown monster in apprehension.

"What took you so long," Justin said with a smile that wasn't a smile.

'I think it is time for both of you to join the fun.' Susan and Kira heard Justin's voice through their soul link.

Susan and Kira had expected it and so, both of them had already arrived at the exit of the ark. They looked at each other and a knowing smile appeared on Kira's face.

"Little sister, be careful. Don't come crying when you're injured again?" She giggled and jumped out of the ark.

"Who is your little sister? Let's determine this by seeing who has the highest kill." Susan said, raising her voice as she raced after her.

"Whatever…" She chuckled as she made a hand gesture and a circle appeared in front of her.

Screech!

A flesh Eating Crow came out of the circle and looked at the surroundings with some wariness. When it saw Kira, it lowered its head and cried happily.

"What! Your mount has leveled up." Susan widened her eyes and she felt the pressure coming from the crow. The Flesh Eating crow and level up to third Circle beast.

"Are you going to go back on your word?" Kira taunted and jumped to the back of the crow.

Whoosh!

She took into the sky and her laugh echoed in the sky. Susan gnashed her and looked at her with her eyes burning full of fighting spirit.

"Never!" She shouted and rushed toward the bridge.
