My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

Meanwhile, at the other end of the bridge, a group of Horde were covered in frost and watched the battle on the bridge in disdain. Even though they were covered in the deadly frost, they weren't affected.

"Crawlers are the bane of all humans. With them, we shall rule the world." Leader of the horde said in horde language.

Hahaha

Justin stood in the ark control room and watched the battle without any expression on his face. Although he didn't detect the Horde on the other side of the bridge, he could sense there was something amiss.

'Evil beings…' He mused as he tapped his feet lightly. Albeit he was lost in thought, his perception was following the fight as looking for the crawler's weak point. Since he decided to let others fight and grow along with him. He could only help them from the back.

Suddenly, his sound perception picks up some changes in frequency from a crawler and focuses on the crawler.

Pipe man was covered in bruises as he was a long-range attacker but his weapon was useless against their monstrous defense. Thus, he had been hanging to death for the past couple of minutes. The part to retreat and be long cut by the crawlers as they concentrate on the three humans.

While he was controlling his weapon frantically, his metal pipe hit the large mouth of the crawlers and generated a miserable scream due to his frantic action. He failed to notice the short reaction.

But Justin, whose perception covered the fight scene, noticed the slight change immediately. He knitted his brow and the corner of his lips curled up a bit.

'Who would have guessed their weak point would be in such a place.' He snickered.

"Merab, attack their mouth directly with your kill shot." Merab heard Justin's voice inside her head.

Hearing this, Merab didn't think about it and changed her target to the available crawler with its mouth open.

"Got you." Merab drew her bowstring to the limit and the air around her began to vibrate as if they wanted to escape from their confinement.

"Bone Destroyer" She muttered a bead of sweat dropped from her forehead and she let go of the golden arrow.

Buzz!

Whoosh!

The sound of fabric tearing apart echoed in the area and everyone wondered what the hell was happening. They looked around but couldn't see the course. Thus they forget about it.

However, Justin and the others with high circle power noticed the power arrow tearing through the air.

"What a powerful shot," Kira whispered.

Nika was surrounded by crawlers as his body was dripping in fresh blood as though he came out from the pool of blood. The only thing that wasn't bloody red on his body was his eyes and the two golden circles on his head.

Albeit all this, his first dance back and forth while he moves swiftly amid the crawlers. If he were any other person, he would have long been killed by exhausting his blood. But his tyrant overlord physique covered his weakness and gave him unimaginable endurance and stamina.

As his punch rammed into the chest of a crawler, the crawler's fang hit his waist. He took a couple of steps back while the crawler was sent flying back. A crawler was already lying in wait for him with its mouth wide open, showing rows of sharp dangerous teeth.

Thus, it was too late for him to avoid the sneak attack from the crawler. Hence, he looked at the incoming crawler teeth and prepared for the worst. Just then, a buzz echoed in the surrounding area. And behold…

Bang!

A deafening sound echoed on the bridge and it descended into an abrupt silence. In the air, a crawler flies slowly with its mouth shattering into pieces.

Bang!

After what looked like forever, it crashed into a burnt truck, sending shock waves throughout the bridge. A black-red liquid flowed out of the crawler, it trembled for a couple of seconds before black smoke came out from its chest. The smoke formed a bizarre life form and looked at Merab and made a sudden screech.

Hearing the deafening screech, everyone covered their ears instantly and their eyes widened. They fixed their gaze on the black smoke with their heart in their throat.

Whoosh!

The black smoke hissed and raced into the sky and disappeared. Afterward, the crawler on the truck began to disintegrate into ashes, leaving a golden stone behind. All this happened in a couple of seconds.

The Horde was flabbergasted by what just happened and they failed to react. Their massive bodies trembled and the frost around their bodies shattered.

"Control yourself, don't let the human know we are watching," The leader of the Horde said in the horde language.

"That's just a mistake. Humans are stupids and won't realize it." Another Horde said.

Hearing this, the Horde nodded and their big dark green eyes were filled with a sharp glint as they couldn't wait to tear the humans to pieces.

"We must not fail. It takes a lot of process for the king to create the crawlers." The leader of the horde muttered silently.

Unknown to the Horde, the slight loss in their emotion and the sudden shattering of the frost and given their location out.

"I thought so…" Justin twisted his lip and gave a knowing smile. 'You dare to set a trap for us. We are waiting for you.'

"Target their mouth." Nasir, Pipe man, and Grandpa Philip heard Justin's voice inside their head.

The three woke up from their stupor and their expression turned into a knowing smile. Grandpa Philip had been vexed by his inability to kill the crawler but now it seems things were about to change.

Screech!

Coincidentally, the crawlers woke up from their stupor as they watched their brethren killed. Although they turned into crawlers, they were humans, to begin with, and thus had emotions. Besides, these crawlers were from the same camp before they were captured by the Horde before they decided to trade their soul for power.

They were furious and turned to look at Nika, Grandpa Philip, and Pipe man before they looked in Merab's direction.

Screech!

They howled once again and pounced on the three while some of the crawlers raced toward Merab at a great speed leaving afterimages.

Hence, the battle turned frantic. The crawler didn't care about their lives as long as they took down their enemies. Precariously, this would have worked but now, things were different.

Grandpa Philip spearheaded the fight as his staff sent them flying while the second strike was to the mouth.

Bang! Dead!

Screech!

Hahaha!

Grandpa Philip lauded hysterically, evading a claw attack, and struck his staff directly into the mouth of the crawler. The crawler bit it with all its power. Unfortunately, the staff was a soul weapon and couldn't be damaged by physical attack.

"Die!" He snarled and smashed its head into pieces.

On Nika and Pipe man's side. The two work in tandem, Nika would punch the crawler in the chest and the sharp metal pipe would be drilled into the mouth of the crawler.

In a couple of seconds, more than ten crawlers had been killed with the evil spirit inside them wailing in agony before they dispersed, leaving soul stones behind.

On the ark, Merab was covered in frost but she didn't seem to care, a grin plastered on her face. Her hand never stops moving back and forth on her bow as every arrow ripped the life of a crawler.

Merab's Killing speed was faster than both Nika and Pipe man since her weapon was a soul weapon while Nika was a close combatant and Pipe man was a mental user. And his weapon was only an ordinary metal.

"Pipe man needs to change his weapon," Justin muttered as he could see his weakness.

"Jackson, go and assist Pipe man and Nika" Justin's voice echoed in Jackson's head.

What!

Jackson's eyes widened and he stood abruptly with his mouth ajar. Addison looked at her twin brother and wondered what happened to him.

"What happened to you?" She asked.

It took Jackson a couple of seconds to process what he just heard. He turned his head slowly and looked at the ongoing brutal battle. Although their men have the upper, everyone knew a slight mistake would mean death.

"Tell me what happened… you're scaring me" Addison got on her feet and looked at her brother with her heart racing.

'Don't let it be what I'm thinking She prayed deep in her mind.

Jackson recovered from his initial shock and looked at her worried sister and forced out a smile.

"I've received an order to assist the Nika and Pipe man." He said slowly.

What!

She shook her head vehemently and tears gathered at the corner of her eyes.

"You're not ready for such a battle." She said, biting her lips.

"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."
