Invaders 66 Rampage

While Larc was lost wandering in his many thoughts, Kim instantaneously moved beside Momo and cover her with his mana to enhance her recovery. He then carried her in his arm.

"Master, I did it. I killed that monster of a human."

"Yes, you did well. You can rest now."

"Master mana is warm..."

"..."

Exhausted, Momo finally fell asleep. Looking at her cute chubby cheek as she was sleeping with her purple hair dropping, Kim secretly took her picture with his phone.

"Kim!"

Fl.u.s.tered he quickly hid the phone inside his pocket.

"I'm sorry to disturb you, but we need to quickly help guard the city. Other mana users are already engaging with the monsters. Waste more time and there will be casualties!"

Kim wanted to take more time but what can he do? He couldn't just leave the city getting destroyed with all these people in it. Sure he doesn't know everyone, but he made relationships with some even if it was short he still needed to repay Wong, Teng and Ling for making Momo enjoyed her day yesterday. After some thoughts, there was only one way he could force himself to save the city.

"Let's make a deal."

"A deal? People lives at risk and you want to make a deal?"

"Yes. I'm not some kind of hero. I will help if you agree."

Larc was honestly disappointed when he heard that. He always thought Kim is a man of a good virtue but it was his fault for setting his expectation high. Mana users, once they got power there's only one thing in their mind. Power to stay on top. The reason is of course to live a luxurious life. But what can he do? Kim is the city's only chance to survive. The intel he got from Leila was worst than he expected. All four of the walls were getting attacked by monsters, including those around superior-rank. The guild doesn't have enough manpower to take on this disaster.

If a master of a person who can kill a mythical monster could help, he sure he could at least found some way to let the people in the city escape with fewer casualties. At this point, he got nothing to lose. Either do or die. As if already expecting what Kim wanted, he asked Kim, "How much do you want?"

But Kim didn't reply to him. Instead, he was showing him a confused expression. Maybe it wasn't wealth he wanted and more of material or status. So he changed the questions, "What do you want?"

Finally, Kim got it and nodded happily. He was prepared to agree with any ludicrous 'gift' he would ask when the only the thing he wanted being, "Can you disclose the matter here from the public?"

'Huh?' Unknowingly, he blurted out "That's it?" He couldn't think of any reason on the spot on why Kim wanted to keep quiet of the fact they just fought against a mythical monster, avoided what could be a real-life h.e.l.l to the city and actually be the hero of the city. 'What could possibly be a better reason than this? Does he don't want any of that fame and wealth?'

"But, why?"

"We have our reasons"

Not wanting to waste more time, Larc agreed to it without asking more questions. But of course, that couldn't possibly be the only request.

"Anything else?"

"Yes."

The land was left barren with some rubbles that were the leftover of the destroyed mansion. Suddenly from where they were standing, flowers were growing and blooming beautifully as if they were hiding before and just appeared now because everything was over. From where the ground was slightly bulging, Kim placed Momo there and covered her with a mana barrier.

"Some guys are coming. By that time, take care of Momo."

Larc wanted to reject the request because he too should join the fight, but Kim was already gone, moving with his extreme speed. Not able to do anything, he sighed and sat down at the flower patch beside where Momo was sleeping. As he was reading the messages of outside matters which Leila sent to his phone, a voice called out, "Guild master? Wait...what happened to the mansion?!"

--

Outside the city walls of Kuala Terengganu, the sound of footsteps was neverending. Sea of monsters overflooding the four walls of Kuala Terengganu causing a tremor that shook the entire city. Even if the walls were installed with the anti-monster mechanism, it's impossible to defend against thousands and thousands of monsters rampaging. Low-rank monsters were getting swallowed and stomped upon while the higher-rank monsters charge forward thirsty for mana.

Mana users were standing by the wall looking at the devastating scene. Even the veterans were overwhelmed with the terrifying amount of incalculable mana pressure emitted by the monsters. The city vicinity became h.e.l.l on earth.

"It's useless..."

"It's the end..."

"I should at least find a girlfriend."

The mana users became dispirited. The commander who is the head guard of the city tried to take command but no one was listening. There's nothing he could to rally up his men since there's no way out of it. It's jump into the battlefield and die, or wait for their death. Running away was not an option with all four sides flooding with vicious monsters. It's only a matter of time before the wall will be breached. With their people less than a hundred, what can they do against enemies of several tens of thousands? Even those who could do a long-rank attack had stopped attacking.

Some of them have their loved one back home waiting for their return. There were those who became a mana user for glory and fame. Others are those who had no choice but to become a mana user to survive. Nevertheless of their reasons, none of it matters now. The power they gain for the sake of living their lives, the suffering they endured and the lost they had, what was it for? Just to live for another day to see this inevitable ending?

One person with tears in his eyes drop to his knee and raised both of his hands upward.

"I don't know who is there or what is there but...within this several years, I had lost everything. My mum, my dad, my wife and children. I lost my family and friends during the calamity. I thought that I would die or end up killing myself but the world is a forgiving place. The people here who build this city together has built a new life in this humble heart of mine. I don't care how or who. Even if you are the devil help us. I want this city, the people to live on!"

Tears continued to roll down his cheek as he bowed down his head to the ground, sobbing heavily as it was the last day he could cry his heart out. His voice was heard...by the people around him. The sound of metals clacking on the ground as they let go of their weapons. They followed suit, crying their heart out. It's over.

What could they expect? It would take days for reinforcement to come and looking at the situation they won't even last for several hours. As if someone who is strong enough would miraculously appear and kill all the tens of thousands of monsters.

"Hey, you."

A voice suddenly called out to him but his drained motivation made him not wanted to even bother giving a reply. With one arm Kim grabbed his head and pulled him upward making him stand straight on his two feet. The sudden forced made him come back to his sense.

"Sorry about that, but I want to ask you something. Hey, are you listening?"

He swore had seen this young familiar face before but it was hard to think amidst this chaos. His mind was in a cl.u.s.ter. Although he did felt like the young man in front of him was related to some kind of big event before. 'Whatever! Why would I waste my time thinking about that stuff?'

"Are you done?"

"What do you want? Not that it matters since we are all doomed. Can't I have a moment of peace to myself at least?"

"Just fricking answer one of my question and you can cry all you want, okay?"

"I wasn't crying..."

"Anyway, tell me, did anyone jumped into the battlefield yet?"

'Are you kidding me?' was the first sentence that popped into his mind. In this obvious situation who in the right mind would jump in that horde of monsters like some kind of a hero or something?

"Everyone knees are trembling in fear right now. No one would kill themselves for nothing. We better wait here rather than wasting our energy kid. Who knows, maybe we might find some gap to escape within the chaos. That might be a coward move, but some of us have to survive and live on. That's how it is nowadays in this world. We all are just- hey are you listening?"

Kim wanted to know if there were any mana users already dove into the battlefield. He didn't expect the guy would continue to babble on. Since he got his answer already, he expanded his mana sense to make sure no one was really there in four sides of the wall. He also called Leila along the way to the main gate of the wall to get the full a.s.sessment of the whole situation.

"Mana users, if you want to live stay here and don't get involve!"

Even with his small stature, his shout was like a warcry that shook everyone hearts. Those who cried, those who fell into despair, those who already went dismayed suddenly become spirited again. 'Who was that?' They all thought.

Then, a shocking moment happened in front of the guy eyes. The young man who asked him the question just jumped off the wall. He couldn't believe his eyes and rushed forwards to see the falling silhouette of the young man. "Is he crazy?!"

Those who saw what happened also joined in and others just curious with all the commotion.

"Someone actually jumped?!"

"No way!"

"I want a girlfriend..."

Now everyone eyes were onto Kim, including the monsters. Noticing a meal was falling onto their lap, the hungry monsters stomped on top of one another wanting to grab the first bite. Unfortunately for them, they were the prey for that night.

As he was falling down, Kim circulated his mana and six giant arms conjured behind him.

"Orrrrraaaaaaaa!!!" With a barrage of fists, he plummeted the monsters on the ground into bits. There was only the scream of terror coming out from those monsters as they mercilessly getting crushed without any chance to escape. The spot that was full of monsters had become clear instantly.

The moment Kim landed on the ground, he circulated more of his mana and flow it into the ground causing a tremendous tremor that shook the entire city and its vicinity. Even the rampaging monsters had stopped in their tracks.

"Hands of Terra!"

At each side of the wall, a giant hand emerged gallantly from the ground. The hands were so large that it felt like four of them could cover the entire city. Even those who were in the city could see the hands.

Larc, together with the others was also able to see it and could not help their jaws from falling down.

"That must be the young master!"

"You mean Kim? One person was actually able to that?!"

"Even though we saw he fought before, never did we witness his full strength. At this point, I'm actually too scared to ask."

--

The hands were slapping, smacking and sweeping around the monsters as if they were all just some mere ants. They could even change their shapes and form to better suit at wiping out the ma.s.sive number of monsters. Sometimes they even manipulate the ground to catch any monsters that tried to run away. If felt like the hands themselves were a living mana user.

In mere minutes, more than half of the number of monsters had literally been eliminated. It won't take long before all the monsters would get wiped out or ran away. Those who were witnessing this couldn't help themselves from cheering and let out cries of joy. They all thought they would be goners tonight but who would have a know an insanely powerful mana user would miraculously appear out of nowhere. But, it was too early for them to celebrate. There was an oncoming disaster which could send them back to despair again when it hit Kuala Terengganu.

Kim knew about it and it was the reason why he chose this side of the wall instead of others. He wanted to face it first. It was a legendary-rank monster. Kim wanted to see what kind of monster it was but it was moving too slow that he lost his patience. He wanted to get back to Momo as soon as he can. The thought as leaving Momo sleeping at an old man whom he barely knows made him anxious. He unleashed his mana, and the six arms converged becoming extremely ma.s.sive. Even more than any of the terra's hand.

Orbs of mana were swirling around Kim like a storm. His whole body was resonating with the land and made the entire area br.i.m.m.i.n.g with white lights.

Meanwhile at Mayor Byzark destroyed area,

"What is happening to miss Momo?! She is radiating!"

"This...is her mana is linked with Kim?"

"Do you know what this is guild master? Is it within the knowledge of the otherworld?"

"It does. When a two-person is really fond of one another and have been really close physically and emotionally they could create some kind of a link between their mana. With this, they could freely share their mana to boost the strength of one and another."

"I see. By the way, when you mentioned close, you mean really close right?"

"Yes. Why?"

"Young master really does have that kind of feeling toward miss Momo. I don't know why I'm so happy right now?"

"Ah, sweet youth. Very warm. Very warm indeed."

"I'm rooting for the young master! And miss Momo as well!"

"Awooooooooooo!!!"

--

Watching Kim right now had put an overwhelming feeling of amazement in their everyone hearts. With lights shining brilliantly from his entire body, Kim looked like the chosen one that would be appearing in movies. Everyone was left in awe.

Finished gathering the mana he punched forward sending a ridiculously amount of strength towards the legendary-rank monster direction. The whole entire area of several kilometres was shaking from the tremor.

"Fist of Heaven and Earth!"

All of the mana users who were witnessing the entire event had their eyes bulge out of their socket and jaws drop to the ground as the saw everything in the fist path had been erased from existence. The land, the forest, the mountains, the monsters they were all gone. Even the ma.s.sive tortoise-like monster had exploded into dust. Next morning, they were able to see clearly the aftermath of the battle. It looked like the sky and the earth been split into half.

The news of tens of thousands of monsters rampaging toward Kuala Terengganu spread fast in whole Malaysia. Miraculously, the city survived with zero casualties.
