NOVPUB''We are moving out! gather your weapons! It's time to hunt! Kill every last of them!'' the burly woman walked out of the tent and shouted orders to her people. Her eyes glowed with revenge when she thought of her humiliation at that woman's hands. Everybody cheered in joy as they dropped whatever they were doing. It's time to eat fresh meat. they armed themselves, following their leader to the settlement.
Meanwhile, Cyra was in the inner boundary facing black giant centipedes, she dodged skillfully to the side and swung her bone sword slashing the monster in half, and faced two others. their bodies were long, they coiled around each other and they launched an attack on her.
she gripped her sword firmly. This was the beasts always on her way from entering the center. she can't believe she has been stuck here for ten years. she could have just stayed here with Zane and lived their life but she wants life comforts and no constant fighting every day.
So she has to leave here even if it kills her. She rushed forward, climbing on their body as she dodged their attacks, but she was hit at the side by the other one, throwing her forward,
''boom!'' she went through four trees before she came to a stop, ''pfftt..'' she spat out blood feeling her spine aching. She knelt on all fours and watched the centipedes launch their iron head towards her again. her eyes flashed to the dead beast 'at least she made progress. before she was always beaten up badly and left with no choice but to retreat.
She stood up wobbling but she held on and faced the upcoming attacks, she fought back and was thrown out from time to time, but from the gashes from the beast's bodies you could see for every hit on her, she reciprocated.
They went at it, Cyra was covered in blood, and her legs were bent at an awkward angle but her willpower held her together. the monsters were bleeding and their attacks were slowing down. Cyra grinned with a bloodied mouth as she launched her final attack.
she slashed the left one open, splattering blood on the right one. it attacked her but she gritted her teeth and took the hit while holding firmly on its head, she freed her weapon and stabbed it through its neck making it struggle and stop.
She dropped to the ground trembling from pain and exhaustion, she dragged her tired body away from the scene and fell beside a tree to rest.
in the tent, Zane stretched his hand on the bed feeling for Cyra but the fur was cold, he rubbed his eyes and yawned. blinking open his sleepy eyes. he was still the same as before with no physical changes but mentally he was peaceful and happy.
He sat up from the bed and stretched his body, still feeling weak from last night-suddenly he heard screams making his movement pause. his eyes sharpened when he heard loud horrifying screams. he frowned and put on his clothes quickly.
he brought out his sword, he had to help them but for the children. he walked out from the tents and watched women fighting, some men being slashed open on their fleeing backs, their eyes opened with fear and pain as they died.
he saw the maneaters surround the screaming crying children, and he ran forward. thrusting a knife through a woman's chest killing her instantly.
seeing it was the white head demon. so they surrounded him leaving the children. but another set of people took their place. Zane saw this and became anxious, he focused on the people in front of him and swung his sword not knowing a monkey crawled to his legs when he was focus was split from saving the children and defending from those attacking him.
he felt a sting in the leg like he was injected with something but he paid it no heed, his mind focused on the fight after a minute and his eyes turned blurry, he staggered as he swung his sword forward. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
what's going on no drugs had ever affected him but why did he keep getting weak? his sword fell to the ground as he wobbled on his steps feeling everything turning in circles, finally, he fell to the ground, those women wanted to use that chance to kill him but were attacked unawares.
Margaret killed them and carried Zane, walking back her tent admits the chaos. from the slit of Zane's eyes, he watched the mascara of every child, man, and woman.
he fell unconscious. Margaret walked back to the tent entering the secret bunker, she locked its iron door.
