After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World

”Orcshit!!” Obi cursed. Their enemies were already on the brink of defeat.

These bastards only lasted so long because of their equipment—which still had high durability at the start—and the fact that they (the Golds) had been weakened and were injured before the fight.

If they just had enough time, they’d have defeated them already and run away by now!

However, he knew there was no use being annoyed now. All they could do was defeat the enemies before the new team came in. They’d have to take a risk and use most of their remaining mana to deal with these bastards so they could make a run for it.

Obi twisted the spear in his hand. With a quick movement of the wrist, a narrow line of fire appeared in its path.

[Used! Fire String]

Don’t look at it appearing like a thin string, this was a highly concentrated force that consumed a lot of mana.

It seemed to float in the air, appearing like a beam, and when it landed on the enemies that surrounded him, it went through a third of their bodies!!

By this time, they had already cracked the enemies’ defense equipment, so each attack could finally inflict serious damage on them.

”AHHHHH!”

”GAHHHH!”

They screamed as they felt the thin but deep slice on their bodies.

Obi did not waste anymore time. Taking advantage of his enemies’ crushed defense, he used his spear to parry, stab, or slice them to death!!

Otto had a similar strategy.

[Used! Concentrated Gust]

WHOOSH!

Using his wind element, Otto successfully pushed back half a dozen enemies and bent a few trees in the process.

However, one of these enemies happened to be an earth user.

This person used his ability to stop his momentum on time. While his teammates hit the trees and fell down with them, he immediately lunged forward for a counterattack.

The earth user waved his hand and a spire appeared underneath. Otto pushed himself up with his ability to avoid the attack, balancing himself with the wind.

While in the air, he used the same momentum to twist his body, sending a large wind slash in the direction of the earth user.

[Used! Superior Wind Slash]

The earth user cursed. He created a thin wall of earth at the last second, managing to block most of the attack.

However, he underestimated Otto’s skill. The strong gust pushed him and his sheild straight to the trees behind him. He slid several meters away and a few trees fell, the large block of earth he created to protect him added to the damage instead.

Meanwhile, Obi had already moved on to another team—the large group targeting his sister and his mother. Orion had already helped take care of a few, but he was also trying to help their father at the same time.

Obi was a fire user, though he was superior to his older siblings in a way that he also didn’t need a weapon to properly control his element. His feet burst flames, propelling him upwards, and a large fire fist fell down on an area, gravely injuring a few.

Seeing his brother arriving on this side, Orion quickly went to assist his father—aiming to finish the two powerhouses within the next couple of minutes.

”Orcshit!” Vaza cursed as he saw his men fall one by one, and all they could do was attack this weakened old man.

They had sent him barrage after barrage of attacks the past couple of minutes, but Zaol didn’t seem to care about the injuries they inflicted on him. He was just desperate to block their way, to keep them away from his children!

Now, those children had cleared out their people and soon only the two of them would be left behind!!

His eyes widened when he saw Orion appearing. Those large spheres of electricity in his hand were definitely meant to be thrown at them.

And indeed, they were.

”AHH!” They gritted their teeth as they felt the strong voltage pass through their bodies, unable to avoid the quick attack on time.

Thanks to their superior defense equipment, the strong attack wasn’t debilitating, but they could feel their equipment taking in a bit of damage. Zaol also took this chance to stab them repeatedly, despite the blood coming out of him from all of his movements.

Orion also relentlessly shot them with his ability, over and over, until—

Crack!!

They paled when they realized their equipment was finally failing!

While they defended themselves, they could see the remaining people they had being dealt with. Whether they were alive or dead, they didn’t know anymore—they didn’t have the chance to care.

Soon enough, it would be them who’d be mobbed. By then, they would have no chance to run!

Sadly, they had sworn an oath to the Lord to do their best this time—otherwise, they’d have run away by now.

How were they supposed to know they would fail?

They remembered how arrogant and confident they were when they volunteered for this mission. All they saw were the aether crystals they would get as a reward.

However, it gets worse…

At some point, Zaol smiled as he lifted his spear. He pivoted on his back foot and swung the spear in a sweeping motion.

[Used! Crescent Sweep]

Zaol created a wide, arcing slash. This attack had a concentrated amount of aether, completely destroying their equipment!

Their eyes constricted. Zaol’s ability was back!!

Orion looked coldly at them and sent one final attack.

”AHHH!” they screamed, their bodies twitching as they felt painful tingles and burning sensations all over their bodies.

The father and son did not bother to come back again to make the kill shots. They just looked at their companions who were all ready to head out. Koro carried Uncle Liu, and they were prepared to run away as fast as they could.

Zaol nodded and led the way, rushing to get away from this dangerous spot as soon as possible!

For a moment, they thought they would finally be able to leave this place!

They were wrong.

”AH!”

Suddenly, a man appeared right next to Gaia, grabbing her neck. He was lower-leveled than she was, but she was no fighter. The whiplash of the movement also shocked her body—which was already weak and injured from the long fights she had been through.

The next thing they knew, the matriarch was already a dozen meters away from them, life literally at the hands of someone else.

They paled.

A speedster!
