[Alexander's POV]
…
…
"Hey Cous. You don't look so good, did someone steal your powers?" spoke my elder cousin as she looked at me with an evil smile. Her red hairs that reached her shoulders was giving off a strange energy, and those red eyes that were looking at me, made me realize who was the person who had absorbed my powers.
"Looks like the kid is scared. Anyway, we don't have much time. Alex, move away from that zombie. I am going to absorb her. It was a pain growing her beyond what she was already aged. I am not going to let my possession get away," my uncle said as he greedily looked at my sister Erika. His eyes turned ferocious as he eyed her.
"I will take Alex's body then," spoke my cousin brother as he reached me in an instant…
And reaching closer to me, I observed him with a keen expression as I spoke,
"You have quite the guts, brother." Before he could realize.
-BOOOOM!!!!!!
Erika appeared above him and pushed him down on the ground in an instant. Looking at him without any pity in my eyes, I moved closer to him, but my uncle reached Erika before that.
Erika vanished before she could be captured while I jumped away from there.
My cousin, Periot, stood up as he looked at me with a slightly furious expression while his eyes searched for Erika. Even my uncle, who was standing in front of my cousin, was scanning the surroundings, trying to figure out where Erika was.
Then…
I took out a certain gun from the backpack that I was holding. And then took a deep breath as I jumped at them within a second and
-BOOM!
I shot at them as I recalled what brother had told me.
["Listen Alex. This gun will only work if you are close to the enemy, but if you can manage to get close enough, a single shot is enough to take out enemies who are even twice as strong as you. Also, each shot takes time to recharge, about 30 seconds, so be careful how you use it."]
It was a really strange gun. Black in color with no energy whatsoever. But since it was brother who gave it to me…
I looked at the dead body of my uncle, who failed to gauge the depth of the danger that this gun possessed. Normally, I would have preferred to do it with my own power, but sadly… I don't have 'em with me right now.
"Huh?" brother spoke as he looked at uncle's body with a huge hole in the chest.
"Huh?" Even my sister, who was preparing to move forward, stopped in her tracks for a few moments as she looked at the lifeless body of our uncle.
"Well, not all deaths are dramatic," I spoke as I chuckled at their expression before pointing the gun at Periot. Fully knowing the danger, he dodged the trajectory of the gun. My eyes observed him moving to the left before moving towards me, and I jumped back.
'Tch!' I thought as I looked at my sister coming at me from the other side. I needed to wait for the gun to reload as I observed those two coming at me in full throttle.
Keeping my aim around my brother, I waited for my cousin sister to reach closer to me, and as soon as she reached my range, completely ignoring my brother, I proceeded to kick her.
My brother saw a chance and moved in for an attack, but…
-BOOOM!!!
Once again, Erika came out of space and attacked him from above. Pushing him on the ground. As for me, I did a round kick at my cousin sister, which she blocked in an instant before punching me far away.
-BOOM!!!
"Brother!" Erika shouted as her expression widened and then she vanished from there, before appearing behind me and holding me back from falling on the ground.
Worried, she looked at me as I coughed out blood before observing the other two getting closer to me. Despite being beaten up, I stood up with my eyes observing those two coming at me. However, before they could take any more steps.
-Thud!
A head came flying from far away and fell on the ground in between us. Confused, I tried to look at the head. Even brother and sister were looking at the head, wondering where it came from.
"You could only kill 1 up until this point? Don't tell me you have got a soft heart even after what they did to you?" spoke a familiar voice as he walked towards us.
"Walter?" I muttered as I turned at that man who was walking with a carefree expression towards us.
"You! Where are the others?" asked brother as he looked at Walter with an agitated expression, at which Walter just smiled.
"This was the last one of them?" Walter spoke as he smiled and pointed at the head that he threw in between us. My eyes observed that head with a really surprised expression as I thought,
'Weren't there 9 A-Grades there?'
The expression of my brother and sister turned ugly before my sister said,"stop bluffing."
"Inferno," Walter spoke as a fire soon formed around Walter and within a blink… it spread to my sister, burning her alive before she could even make a move.
"Oi! Didn't I tell you not to involve in my-" I almost blurted out but,
"Shut up! You lost. Accept that," he spoke as he looked at me from the corner of his eyes before moving towards Periot, who just looked at sister turning to ashes within a second.
And before he could realize, I saw his head being severed from his body, and his body falling to the ground lifeless. He sighed before turning at me and then looking at Erika,
"Talk to Sir Michael. You guys are too weak."
I just observed his nonchalant face as he looked around before continuing,
"Go help those military people. They seemed to be in trouble, of sorts."
I looked at him before sensing towards the place where Miss Myla and the others were. My eyes widened a little as I saw many many Nightcrawlers attacking them, and they were barely holding their ground.
"Aren't you going to help them?" I spoke as I stood up before walking towards the military people. As for Walter, he just spoke,
"I have a better issue to deal with."
"Better?" I questioned, as I turned to look at him. He was smiling. His eyes were looking at…
'Isn't that where Miss Irene is fighting?' I thought as I nodded at him before turning towards where the military was.
While I was walking towards there, I saw George and the military guy fighting against that lady. My eyes widened as I looked at the speed at which they were fighting right now.
Looking at that fight, an inferiority complex developed inside my mind, which soon gave me an annoying feeling.
'I can't be weak all the time. I must get stronger,' I thought as I ran towards the military guys with all my might. Erika simply followed behind me, moving at a pace similar to mine.
