Capítulo 26: The Folinr (6)
The Vault's halls were filled with creatures that walked on all fours. They were disgusting creatures that had dirt in every part of their body. The pale skin they had looks aghast and causes your hair to stand on end. They were very revolting since they were defiling a very serene place of solace.
However, now that the chaos within The Vault spread throughout the entirety of it, people panicked and ran. The people all backed off instead of fighting against something that they were unfamiliar with.
Now think clearly. If people were surrounded and pushed into despair, what do you think they would do?
There are only two options for that. One is to completely give up, and the other is to bring hell with you as you fight back.
========================
Congratulations. Due to destroying enough Gifts -
Your Lv has increased.
========================
A person who was sleeping soundly was suddenly awoken by the snarls and screeches. She did not find anyone else in her room aside from herself. This solitude and the eerie sounds combined to scare her shitless.
Bang~
Crash~
Loud sounds could be heard from all around. She was shocked that the safe space of The Vault was no longer such a safe place. After all, they were underground and there were plenty of soldiers that could hold off enemies so that they could back off in time.
[The Vault is currently under attack. Please evacuate.]
A mechanical voice rang throughout the entirety of The Vault. The emergency siren rang and the messages played fashionably late. That was because the person to issue the alarm was not in his office at the moment of invasion.
Bang ~ Bang ~ Bang
She was horrified at the sound more than ever. That was because it was no longer just any other sound. The source of her sound was already from her door. The door blasted and she saw a creature that she remembers from years ago.
"REeeeeE!" A singular Folinr rushed at her.
She despaired at the thought of being alone, but what scared her more was that she does not know the situation of her family. She doesn't know where they are and how they were doing.
Truth be told, she should be able to remember that her son and husband were outside but she was not in her right mind.
Bonk~
A fist crashed into the singular Folinr's head. The head caved in and the Folinr squirmed before it stopped moving. It was not dead but it would be better to perish than to live with its head now concave.
"Huuuuh"
Jenny breathed deeply. She was scared. She was alone and she did not know what was going on. Moreover, she is worried about the well-being of her family which she does not know where they are.
"Reeeee!" Two more Folinr went inside from the broken door.
However. It did not stop her from being angry. The feeling of loss only served to feed her anger. Her overprotective nature became a power in itself. She has gone berserk.
Splat~
She kicked one of the Folinr straight towards its head. She drove it downwards and pinned it with her feet. The other one, she grabbed its neck with her hand.
To the creature, it was like a vice-grip and it got tighter by the second.
Crack~
Soon enough, its throat was crushed in her hand. The Folinr under her feet heard the sound and it felt its hunger dissipate. Instead of hunger, it now felt fear.
Jenny did not crush it though. She crouched and lifted the creature. She observed its scrawny body and put on a very fiendish grin on her face. She let go of the creature.
However, it did not move at all. It was terrified of Jenny who crushed his mate with her bare hands. And due to staying still, Jenny held its arms and -
Riiiip~
She tore the creature asunder. Her strength was godlike and the scene was gory. The room was filled with blood and that excited her. She wanted more.
"Hehehehehe."
She has officially lost it. She ran towards the door and she was met with a crowd of Folinr. She smiled at that sight and ran towards the crowd.
"That's three!" She screamed as she obliterated a Folinr's face with her fist.
Her crazed eyes went left and right to look for the nearest possible target. She found one and began her assault once again. She bashed her way through the crowd. They surrounded her but she did not care.
Soon enough, she was filled with injuries. Her resolution to kill was still burning brightly within her eyes but her body refused to move. She heavily moved her body to eliminate one more of the bastard.
She grabbed one on its head. Her grip was still as strong from earlier, no, it was growing stronger.
======================
Your blood of the berserker boils.
======================
Her body was mangled but her strength rose. She killed more and more Folinr with her bare hands. Ripping, bashing, slamming, breaking, all of those worked, and soon enough.
"That's 10."
She leveled up.
========================
Congratulations. Due to destroying enough Gifts -
Your Lv has increased.
========================
Energy suddenly filled her body. She felt refreshed and all of her wounds closed off. Her blood refilled and her muscles felt renewed. She was ready to fight once more.
That was not all, her Gift absorbed the Gift Fragments from the creatures she has slain. She has grown stronger with regards to her ability. Her crazed eyes worsened and it now looked euphoric.
"HahahahahaHA!" She laughed.
She was covered in blood and looked very creepy with her pose. She freed both of her hands and slapped it on her face. Her hands had fresh blood on them and she dragged it across her face and neck.
The Folinr surrounding her all felt weird. They weren't afraid due to their numbers but they all stopped moving. That was because they know that if they were to move nearer to her, they would die.
"Ooooooooh! Not coming, are we?" She said as she straightened her stance.
She went silent for a while. She looked down, she saw blood all over her body and soon giggled.
"Hehe." She was like a girl who saw her crush.
"DIE!"
She suddenly began her onslaught and eviscerated the nearest Folinr's stomach with her hands. She pierced its abdomen and spread it as far as she could before raising it above her head. Its blood dripped onto Jenny's hair and it covered her entirely.
"Let's dance?" She said in a cute voice.
Changing the scene. Outside The Vault, Commanding Officer Tim Soileward suddenly received a call from an emergency line. The Public Announcement system was not connected to the mainline of communications of the Vault. It was only a temporary Public Announcement system after all.
"This is Commander Soileward speaking. Status report!" Tim asked the other person on the line.
"Commander Tim! The Vault is under attack!" An exasperated voice came from the other side.
Tim had his eyes suddenly open widely. He had goosebumps all over his body and he knew just what he needed to do. He no longer cared for the call and immediately rushed to get the small microphone of the Public Announcement system.
"Attention all cadets and soldiers! Our base is under attack!" Tim screamed towards the microphone.
His voice resounded throughout the entire outside camp. The cadets were still doing a headcount and the adults were checking their equipment. But all of them suddenly stiffened after Tim's announcement.
"Return to base and defend!" Tim said and dropped the microphone.
*Thud*
Everyone heard the sound of the microphone fall. It signified that the Commanding Officer Tim was rushing. He had no time to waste on the equipment and ran towards the Vault.
Tim was seen running out of his tent and instantly made his way inside. Everyone who saw this immediately started moving with their teams and efficiently followed Tim inside. They were soldiers, after all, disharmony could only cause more damage.
"Report!" Tim used his radio that was strapped on his back.
He did not know which frequency he was on and who the person was on the other side. But soon enough, there was a reply.
"Sir. The Folinr has invaded the halls of the Vault. They are currently being held back by the reserve corps but the bastards had reinforcements." A soldier replied and explained.
"What of the Lodgings?" Tim worriedly asked. He knew his wife would still be sleeping at this time in the morning.
"Sir. It is crawling with the creatures, Sir. The forces are currently guarding the evacuating citizens."
Tim was devastated by his reply. The fact that the soldier brushed the topic aside and focused on something else meant that the Lodgings were far gone.
The lodgings had fewer guards than any other places in the Vault. People did not feel good being observed or generally had an aversion towards people who stood in place and watched them closely in case something happened. So with that in mind, there was only one guard stationed at any given moment.
"Shit." Tim turned his radio off and cursed.
He rushed without caring for anything else. He was afraid of losing Jenny who healed his tired heart after the few years he was in the service. And now, his worst nightmare has manifested and he was not at his wife's side at all.
"Please be safe!" Hoping was all he could do while he was running.
The dirt and the wind within a certain tunnel. The shriveled corpse of their brethren. The scary figure that brought out a powerful aura. The voice that was strained and hungry.
"Playtime is over." The figure said as he stood up.
A certain creature was terrified. It looked towards the figure's eyes and saw that it was no longer the eyes of an enemy, but they were now eyes of a predator. It looked at the figure's mouth that opened widely and was dripping with saliva.
"Do you wanna go first?" The figure said as he pointed to the certain creature.
"Reeeee?"
The conversation was going nowhere. The creature instinctively confused itself at the figure's question. It did not realize the figure's intent due to its shallow understanding of how things work. Its pea-sized brain just could not process it fast enough.
The creature then stopped to think for a while. And when it finally understood the nuance of the figure's action. It looked up and could see 2 lines blocking its sight.
"Reeee!?" It screeched in confusion.
Its head was held within Adam's hand. It was panicking and tried to jump but its legs gave out due to the fear they experienced. Adam continued holding its hand and sliced its neck with his dagger.
Schleeeek~ (sound of a knife cutting flesh)
Adam fully cut its head off. It did not have much meat on its throat and the rest of the connections were removed forcefully by Adam's hard pull. And now, with the creature's head detached from its head, Adam held it up high.
He was looking at it. He was evaluating whether or not to eat this certain creature's head. A few moments later, he threw the head away.
Retch~
He did not like the head. It was disgusting to look at and it did not have much meat. Adam was still hungry though, so he eyed the other creatures around him.
"Reeeee!" One of the healthy Folinr rushed towards Adam and used its Gift.
The ground between Adam and the Folinr shortened. It was an ability that made the creature move forward faster than normal. It tried its best to catch Adam by surprise by not using its Gift at first glance.
"Shell."
Adam only used simple magic. The creature was aiming for his vitals with it but it looked like a very weak charge aside from the sudden increase in speed.
But what do you think happens when a stoppable force suddenly faces an object that it could not move? It would be crushed due to the sudden deceleration.
Thonk~
The creature bashed its body towards Adam's magic barrier without its knowledge. The force would have been enough to break the barrier if it was concentrated on one point, but it was a blunt force and the entire body of the creature slammed onto the shield.
Plop~
The creature fell and did not move. The creature experienced a concussion and the only remaining healthy Folinr was the one that could use light to its advantage.
"Heh. You look tasty enough." Adam was interested in this certain Folinr to eat. Adam walked closer to it while it readied itself to use its Gift.
However, Adam was mistaken. He thought that the creature had light as a Gift. It was a misconception due to the creature utilizing its gift this way.
And so, the creature fired its Gift at Adam's weaker magic barrier while aiming for Adam's heart.
"What?"
Adam was surprised that his barrier was broken. He could feel pain and he did not like it. He looked down on his body and saw that his heart was pierced.
