My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

Chapter 65 Susan Tears

"How long?"

A deafening sound reverberated through the sky. Dark clouds were gathering and a streak of lightning flashed through the sky. The strong howl of wind whistles in the atmosphere.

In a desolate street, a group of people was moving forward with light steps. Every now and then, they will raise their head to the sky and shiver slightly.

"Half a kilometer ahead and to our left." A cold voice responded. She glanced at the person beside her and her eyelashes flickered. She had seen many men trying to get closer to her based on her beauty or background. But this young man didn't seem to care about that.

'Am I not beautiful anymore?' She thought in dismay.

She may be cold but she understands how beautiful she is. And no one was ever immune to her beauty. Even older men wanted to court her. If not for her background. She won't know where she may have found herself.

"Don't let your guard down and don't expect to come to your aid because of your negligence," Justin said, looking over his shoulder.

"Yes, leader. We understand." A woman asked seriously.

"Let's increase our pace. We don't want to be caught in this rain should we?" With that, he increased his speed to a light jog.

Without further ado, everyone increases their pace. Since the leader could run, who are they not to follow after his lead? Not to be outdone by him, Susan caught up with him while maintaining the same speed.

"Can I ask you a question?" She asked.

"You can?" He answered without looking at her. Though he was looking at her.

"How do you detect the core power? And how do you use it?"

Asking these questions took all of her courage. People come to her, asking what they don't know, not the other way around. She was brilliant, beautiful, and intelligent. She was the first in the university with tons of awards on her shelf.

Yet, she couldn't wrap her head against this core power of a thing. How could she fail to discover such a vital thing?

,m "What type of weapon do you have?"

"Soul weapon?"

"And your ability is…"

"Lightning."

"How do you get to use both?"

Susan thought for a moment before you responded. "When I got my weapon it came with the flashes of lightning. So any time I use my weapon it goes along with the lightning element."

"Is that all?"

"Yes." Susan furrowed. 'Am I missing something?'

"The reason you haven't detected the core power of yours is that your ability and weapon came on the platter of gold. You don't have the in-depth details of your weapon and abilities." Justin paused and arranged his thoughts.

"You have to change your state of mind. Don't think because it appears easy there isn't more to it. You should have leveled up to a Second Circle existence if you have discovered the true intent of your power. But you fail to do so…"

"And the first requirement to level up was core power. And when you fail in that area. How are you going to level up? So the condition to level won't appear no matter what. Because it appears, you will get killed." He finishes his monologue and increases his speed again.

Susan was speechless and halted on her track. The people behind her look at her for a moment before they ignore her and chase after the leader. Everyone understands that the ice goddess was way stronger than them. And besides, she was talking to the leader a couple of seconds ago.

Whatever made her react like that was not their business.

Susan didn't care about the people that ran past her. She was lost in thought. Never had she thought there is more intricacy to her weapon and ability? She levels faster than Mack and gets her weapon and ability before him. Thinking, she was exceptional.

Though she was exceptional. She overlooks many things because it appears easy. Her breathing was erratic. She took a deep breath and raised her head to the sky. The shocking path of this was being lectured by a student like her.

Though she had submitted to Justin's leadership being the most powerful person among them. She didn't accept it deep in her heart. How could nobody dare lead her? But now, it seems it was not only that he was more powerful than her. He understood some more intricacy about this mysterious power than she.

How long would she have to dabble if she wanted to discover her core power on her own? Only gods can tell.

'I lost to a young man.' A tear dropped from the corner of her eyes.

She sniffed and wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand. She looked up and saw the group far ahead. She inhales deeply, trying to get her conflicted emotion in check.

'I never lose. And I won't start losing to you.' A glow appeared deep in her purple eyes and she dashed after the group.

"I thought it would take you forever before you wake up from your trance." A voice said not looking back.

"I had to digest the meaning of what you told me. But rest assured, I won't ask such a dumb question again." She appeared in front of the group and stopped beside a young man, leaving the faint smell of her mesmerizing fragrance.

"Really!"

"Hmm. Hmm." She nodded at her seriously.

"That would have been the best." Justin chuckled and shook his head.

Suddenly, his ear twitched. He rolled his eyes to the right.

"How long again?"

"The next corner by the right."

"Good, because we have company."

'Company!?' She looked around but didn't detect anything. Is he kidding?

"Susan, take three people and go ahead. We the others defend your back." His voice was full of urgency.

"Alright," Susan nodded and picked three people sprinted forward.

"We've got company. Brace yourself."
