360 The Sixth Ability Application
The degu users stopped their frenzied attack as they saw the cruel fate of the bald man. Such a cruel way of death would make anyone terrified. After all, humans have a strong sensitivity when it comes to visuals.
“Dignity or something, you can eat it! I’d rather die a slow death than a painful one! As he said this, he took out a knife from his waist and was about to stab his head.”
SHING!
Yet all of a sudden, a blue light emerged near him. Then Chris’ silhouette appeared and he no longer look tired.
“Chris came back!”
“Huh? Why did he return??”
“I don’t know! But this is a good thing! At least there would be someone to stall the monster now.”
“I couldn’t agree more.”
‘Hmmm?? Why did this human come back? Can’t you accept defeat? Become my nourishment then!’ The monster’s tongue wiggled outside of his mouth and it rotated constantly.
.....
Lucian also turned his head at the commotion. Then, when he saw Chris, his eyes brightened. He didn’t expect that the other party would come back! After all, if he comes back, he would only be the monster which would put him at a certain risk.
In his opinion, Chris was already a good guy compared to Eugene, who always remained indifferent. At least Chris tried his best to fight the monster.
Lucian could still understand why Chris escaped. After all, life is more important than anything. In the face of survival, one can’t blame if a person becomes selfish. People who always use the greater good and the majority are the most dangerous species on the planet. They use morality to convince others to sacrifice themselves and work for the so-called greater good when they, themselves, couldn’t sacrifice anything for it.
How did he know it? Because he turned into one of them! He used the people and the degu users alike and convince them to fight. When his purpose was only to see his family. He used the cover of the greater good and the lives of the civilians to make the degu users fight for them.
Of course, he really felt guilty as he saw the degu fight valiantly and didn’t back down. But what can he do? Lucian’s only a human that only wants to see his family again. He didn’t want his children to suffer. And he didn’t want his wife to tend to their children alone. He’s the man of the family!
It might make him a worse human, but he was a better dad and husband! Every people have something in their life that they fight for. For Lucian, it was his family. For Fein, it was his friend and family. While others, for their desires!
CLAP!
The people turned their attention to Chris, whose clap made a thunderous sound and forcefully stole their attention and made them look at him.
“I’m not here to fight or anything. I can’t kill that fucking monster. I have a long-distance teleportation ability. But I can only use it every thirty seconds and I can only take five people with every use currently. And it also consumes a large amount of degu energy.” As he said this, he turned to the degu users.
The degu users look at each other before they shook their heads. Then they looked at the civilians that huddled together in fear. One of the degu users opened his mouth.”Bring the civilians out first.”
‘How noble.’ Chris couldn’t help but praised the degu users in his heart. He thought that they would fight with each other about whom to go first. But he looked at each degu user’s eyes. He could see that some of them has some hint of hesitation, but they chose to shut their mouth and look at the ground. ‘After all, not anyone would be righteous.’
“Well then. Since all of you already made a decision. Don’t regret it.” As he did this, he vanished and appeared on the civilians. He scanned his eyes at the crowd and says. “I’m here to transport you one by one every half minute. But I would pick who would go first.”
The civilians rejoiced when they heard what Chris came here for. Now, at least they have a chance to leave the stadium and survive. Whereas they have zero hope if Chris didn’t come back. They all look gratefully at Chris and their respect for him increased significantly.
When Chris saw Lucian, a glint appeared in his eyes. He walked towards the other party and said. “You are the first. Since you want to survive that much, right? And I have some questions to ask.”
“Okay then.” Lucian nodded with a thoughtful expression. He didn’t expect that Chris would pick him. But he would gladly take it at any time. Thinking of this, a smile formed on his lips. He was just a bit confused about what Chris would ask him. ‘What did he want to ask?’
After choosing Lucian, he picked the remaining four. As for how he chose them. He chose the younger ones. Since they have a significantly longer life ahead of them than the old ones.
“Are you ready?” Chris looked at the five people in front of him who had their eyes fixed on him. Every one of them looked eager. Even Lucian couldn’t hide his body language. That made him look excited.
“Be careful!” One of the degu users shouted.
“Do you really think I would let you do whatever you want? You manage to escape last time. But not this time!” The monster heard Chris’ words from afar with his powerful hearing. That’s why he decided to ignore the degu user first and kill the civilians before Chris could take them.
The degu users already imagined the monster squashing Chris in their minds. They didn’t want to see, so they close their eyes. They didn’t expect that the monster would just ignore them like that.
Chris looks at the claws two inches in front of his face. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his usual indifferent face. “I won’t be sure about that. Did you think I won’t be prepared? I still have one ability that I haven’t shown yet!”
‘Space Freeze!’ Chris as the center, the space froze three meters around his body. The monster and the five people within the space froze along the space.
