章節 6: 6. Three Orphans

The three people surrounded the ape creature from all sides and began to attack.

The girl that had long braided blonde hair tied up in a ponytail jumped forward with a blue rapier in both or her hands. And as the monkey waved it's hand to grab her the bulky man out of the three waved his giant axe horizontally at the monkey and slashed it's leg.

The girl waved her hands and slashed at the monkey multiple times as she flew through the air.

She wore red leggings with a tight leather top which had pieces of metal here and there which also accentuated her figure.

"Leo! Left flank!" The bulky man with an axe said and the young man among the group with a nonchalant expression, lept forward with his long sword which had a thin, silver blade, comparable to the girl's rapiers.

The young man was fast but Dexter could see his moves very clearly.

He wasn't interested in them. What he was interested in was their weapons. Their weapons looked flashy and strong that it didn't crack or show any sign of being weak or being ready to break.

The monkey, seeing the humans gaining an upper hand, it turned around to escape.

"Leo!" The bulky man shouted and Leo stretched his hand towards the monkey and made made fist.

The monkey's legs were covered in a chunk of ice, stuck to the ground and it cried out and roared, threatening the humans with its monstrous fangs.

'Ice!' Dexter was shocked.

He has never seen or even experienced using his spirit energy before or even saw a superpower but now he couldn't help but feel like these people were out of his league.

"Just finish it off." Leo,the nonchalant dude said and the bulky guy walked towards the monkey before raising his axe up high, ready to bring it down.

"Hell fire arc!" The bulky man said as he raised his axe upwards and struck down.

A huge arc made of dark colored flames vertically shot out and the monkey was split into two instantly.

The floor which the arc flew over was charred black and the arc even went to a nearby building, destroying it.

'Such power!'

Dexter was amazed.

He had never seen such good teamwork. No collision of forces, it was like some kind of movie.

'Should I approach them?' Dexter thought as he hasn't seen a normal human in a while.

'No. They could be dangerous.'

He wasn't dumb, now that the world had no rules, it was inevitable for people to act out of place.

He could go to them and they could kill him or even take his foodstuffs. There are no laws that stealing or killing is prohibited, in this new world, anything goes.

As Dexter turned around to leave before they saw him he suddenly heard a call.

"Hey!"

'Shit.' He cursed inwardly as he turned around to see the three people walking towards him.

'If I go forward more they would see the bag.' He glanced at his bag which was filled with food and decided to go towards the group of individuals.

Suddenly, one of them pointed his silver sword at Dexter with a frown.

"Are you human?" His voice was cold as his deep blue eyes gazed into Dexter's.

Not expecting such a question, Dexter was taken aback. He quickly got a hold of himself though.

"Uhh... I'm human."

"Ugh! Thank God! He speaks, he's a real human haha." The muscular guy with an axe on his shoulder laughed.

The third member walked forward, the pretty girl with braided blonde hair and clear black eyes that was both mesmerizing and comfortable to look at. She had a decent figure with average breasts and a big plump ass that was great to look at. And on her waist sat two, sharp rapiers...

"Sorry about that. We encountered a human-looking monster before." She smiled warmly. "My name is Rina. This is Zain..." She gestured at the big guy with an axe.

"...and this is Leo." She gestured to the lean guy with a silver sword.

Dexter nodded.

"Okay then." Dexter said with a smile and just stared at them.

The three of them looked at each other with bitter looks on their faces as if they were expecting him to say something else.

'Did... did I say something wrong?' No matter how hard he thought about it, he couldn't see anything wrong with what he said.

"Did I say something wrong?" He ultimately asked.

"Haha, you're supposed to introduce yourself too." Zain laughed, his voice not sounding as young as he looks.

"Oh, sorry. I'm not a... very social person." Dexter apologized. "I'm Dexter. Nice to... meet you guys."

No matter how he didn't want to say it, it was still necessary.

It was necessary for him to know what they really wanted from him.

"So where are you heading boy?" Zain asked.

"Um, not far. Serene district."

"Wow. That's also in the direction of the military base where we're headed. Is that where you're heading?" Rina asked like an excited puppy.

"Yes, but I have something I need from my home first."

"We can head there together. It's better than being alone." Leo shrugged with his usual indifferent expression.

"Yes. Come with us." Rina supported.

"I'll go with you guys but I want to know one thing."

They all looked at him, with looks of approval.

"What are your Worldwide ranks? Mine is quite low." Dexter looked down sheepishly with a sad face.

"Oh, you're worried that you're going to drag us down. Don't worry boy, we got your back." Zain laughed. "I'm only number 2,345,607."

Zain called his number with pride.

"I'm 1,902,220." Rina smirked.

"900,500." Leo said finally and Dexter was finally satisfied.

"Okay, I'm 3,400,500. Let me get my bag." He lied as he smiled and went to bring his bag.

"Poor kid. It must have been hard for him all this while." Zain said as he stared at Dexter in pity but Leo only squinted his brows as he thought Dexter was very suspicious.
