My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

Everyone listened to Justin's solemn command with a grave expression. They took a deep breath and looked at their subordinate before they started giving orders.

The group moved as quietly as possible inside the tunnel as everyone was on guard. The ordinary people could tell something was not alright and held their breath as their hearts thumped.

After moving for a couple of meters, the group arrived at a joint that leads to many other tunnels. The sound of running water came from one of the tunnels and the temperature dropped to another degree.

Seeing the rushing water in front of them, the people shivered. Without the presence of water on their body. The cold temperature was giving them a headache. But now, with the addition of water, how would they fare?

Thud!

The group entered the rushing water slowly and took a deep breath as the cold water slipped into their skins.

Huh!

Various gasps escaped from the mouth of the people but every clenched their fists as they endured the chilling air.

In front of the group, Justin and Susan walked quietly in the water. Their attention was not on the water but on the deadly presence that was shredding them.

Quickly, the group left the running and entered another tunnel with a sigh of relief. Suddenly, a loud piercing scream came from the scouting team.

At once, the atmosphere was dreadful as fear gripped their heart. Everyone looked at their surroundings in panic.

"Your highness, we're being attacked by a strange beast." The pipe man's voice came from the radio.

"Wait, I'll be right there. " Justin said into the radio.

"Everyone should increase their speed." He added as he turned to Susan.

"I will go ahead. You lead the group quickly" With that, he rushed into the dark tunnel.

After covering a distance of 100-meters, Justin received a sneak attack from his left. Quickly, he turned his body and sent a powerful into the darkness.

Bang!

Screech!

A loud screech came from the darkness as a giant Cockroach lay lifelessly on the ground. Seeing the 2-meter height black cockroach, he creased his brow and rushed forward.

Bang!

Bang!

A continuous sound came from the front as a fierce battle was going on. Surrounded by many cockroaches. The pipe man was covered in sweat as he controlled his weapon, the sharp metal pipe to slaughter the cockroaches.

Bang!

Ah!

A cry escaped Pipe man's mouth as he was sent flying by a powerful attack. A 3-meter cockroach came from the darkness and appeared in front of the Pipe man's team. Out of the five-man team, three had fallen while the others were laying on the ground, full of grievous injury.

Pip man forcefully swallows the blood in his mouth as he stared intently at the fierce beast.

___Shadow Veil Cockroach___

Race: Beast.

Circe: Third.

Ability: Shadow and stealth.

____

Seeing that it was a third-level Existence, the Pipe man panicked. He wanted to kill the beast but he knew his attack was useless against the beast's sturdy defense.

'Your highness when you arrive. We will die if you don't come right now.' He thought in bitterness.

Whoosh!

The Shadow veil cockroaches swing one its left toward him. His heart froze as a cloud of death covered him. He wanted to avoid the attack but it seemed some invincible face was keeping him from moving.

But when he realized the attack was coming straight to his heart. He summoned all his strength to move his body to the side a bit.

Bang!

He was sent flying, crashing into the tunnel wall. Pip man landed on the ground and blood flowed out from his major orifices. His face was ashen as his chest rises and falls with difficulty.

For a couple of seconds, his world was upside down, and his brain was fuzzy together. He had lost hope of surviving. The only regret in his heart was that he couldn't kill enough of the beast before he met his family on the other side.

'At least I tried my best.' He thought before he lose consciousness.

The Third Circle Shadow Veil Cockroach stared intently at Pipe man and the others for a couple of seconds before it cried.

Screech!

At once, many cries came from its back as many Shadow Veil cockroaches appeared. However, they were smaller than the Third Circle. They looked at the biggest cockroaches for a moment before they rushed toward the men laying on the ground.

Ah!

The unconscious young man on the ground cried in agony when dozens of cockroaches began to feast on him alive. He grimaced in agony as flesh and blood sprouted out from its body. Shortly, the young man was eaten alive, leaving on his bones.

The cockroach didn't wait a moment before they pounced on the other people on the ground. Immediately, the tunnel was reek with the thick stench of blood.

The cockroaches had eaten everyone except Pipeman. However, when a dozen cockroaches were rushing toward him. A sound came from the Third Circle Shadow Veil Cockroach and the dozens of cockroaches halted on their track and moved back.

The Third Circle cockroach moves arrogantly toward the unconscious Pipeman. When it was only a couple of feet from him, a whistling sound came from the other side of the tunnel.

Boom!

The Third Circle cockroach was sent flying, crashing against the wall. Immediately, the tunnel shook as debris and dust fell from it.

Seeing this, the cockroaches cried in fury as they searched for the intruder. However, their nightmare was far from over as the whistling once again echoed in their midst.

Bang! Bang!

A golden trail appeared in the devastating attack as dozens of cockroaches were killed one after the others. They tried to escape but the golden trail won't give them the chances to escape. In a couple of seconds, all the cockroaches had been killed.

Deep in the tunnel, Justin appeared and waves his hands. His weapon moved swiftly and returned to his arm.

He walked with a cold expression toward the unconscious Pipe man with a tint of regret. He did not know they had ventured deeper into the tunnel. Besides, he encounters many Shadow Veil Cockroaches on the way.

Justin checked his pulse and noticed he was only unconscious and let out a sigh of relief.

'I underestimate the cunningness of the cockroaches.' He thought and sighed for the umpteenth time.

Screech!

The Third Circle cockroach woke up from the heavy attack and glared at Justin. It cried loudly before it disappeared into the shadows. Seeing this, a smirk appeared on Justin's face before he swung his arm.

His rings came out of his arm and entered the darkness before a loud resound echoed in the tunnel.

Bang!

The cockroach was forced out of stealth mode before another attack hit its head.

Bang!

The cockroach was killed, turning into pieces. Justin looked at the cockroach pieces before a red orb appeared.

'Ah! I've forgotten about the orbs.' He sighed and picked up the red orb.

He studied the color of the orb and noticed it was different from the otherworldly race color. Theirs were darker and concentrated. After thinking about the orb for a moment, he keeps the orb and waits patiently for the group to arrive.

After waiting for a couple of minutes, Justin heard a sound from the distance and frowned.

'I guess I did not kill all the beasts.'

'What happened over there?' Justin's voice echoed in Susan's head.

'We're being attacked by the Shadow Veil Cockroach.'

'Are they many? Or should I come?'

'Never mind, we can deal with it.' Susan said confidently.

Justin didn't argue with her. He knew how headstrong she was and her competitive spirit. Just as Justin waited for the people to arrive, the darkness on the other side of the tunnel became thicker as the flashlight couldn't see through it.

'I knew this won't be all.' He thought calmly as he stepped forward, shielding Pipe man from the incoming battle.

Whoosh!

A Third Circle cockroach appeared from the shadow as it attacked Justin back. Without turning back, his weapon came out of his hand and hit the beast's head.

Bang!

The attack sent the cockroach flying, crashing into the wall, and sliding downward creating a screeching sound. Deader than dead.

A screech came from the shadow when they saw one of their side killed effortlessly. Immediately, dozens of cockroaches came out of their stealth mode and attacked him on all sides.

Justin looked at the incoming attack with a cold expression and muttered.

"Sound Disintegration."

The two rings orbit around him as they create a powerful forcefield. Immediately, every attack was foxed into the forcefield and disappeared into thin air while the cockroaches were turned into smithereens.

However, instead of the powerful should deter the cockroaches, they began to pour into the forcefield in dozens. Mountain of bones began to pile up around Justin at the continuous onslaught of the beast.

'Your highness, we are surrounded and the cockroaches seem not to end. We need your help right now.' Susan said with a trembling voice.
