Two of them were brandished with guns, while the others wielded swords and various arms. "Down! Everyone, on your knees," one of the gunn barked, and the group complied, including Gunther.
Their weapons were tossed to the side but it wasn't too far from where they knelt. Among the two gunn, one had stood close to Gunther, suspecting that he might be the leader of the group.
While the other gunman who was the leader of the masked n, started walking around, looking at the faces of each mber.
"Tell , where is the mother crystal?" The leader spitefully demanded, hoping for an answer.
Yet no one said a thing, causing the masked gunman to get furious. He then approached a mber of the group closest to him.
"You, where is the mother crystal?" He snarled, referring to Chris who had spoken about the mother crystal's disappearance.
"What mother crystal?" Chris asked. "We don't have it." His voice was strong and firm, and what he had said was the truth as well.
"Do you think I'm a fool? I saw you standing by the crater where the crystal is supposed to be, which ans you must have taken it. So, where did you hide it?" The man sneered, his anger about to give in.
Chris repeated, "I already told you, we don't have any crystal. When we got here it has already been taken. So why don't you go sowhere else and find who took it."
Enraged, the man struck Chris across the face with his gun. "If you won't tell , then I'll just force it out of you, starting from the weakest mber in your group."
He scanned the group, seeking the weakest link. His gaze landed on Simbi, the only female in the group. He sneered, assuming she would be the easiest to break. And had started approaching her.
Gunther was watching the group of masked n carefully, he was waiting for the right mont to strike. If he could at least deal with the two masked n with guns, the others would be easily taken care of by the rest.
He signalled to the mbers of his group by grunting slightly. They instantly recognised the sound, and they all made eye contacts with him.
A secret conversation was shared between them, and they all nodded in acknowledgnt. This was done without letting any of the masked n to sight them.
As the masked man approached Simbi, Dave had instantly received a notification from the system.
[New Quest]
[Save the girl from being molested by the masked man]
Even before the system stated that, he was going to save her anyway.
[Reward: Gain Simbi's trust and affection]
Seeing this, Dave was more inclined to complete the quest than ever. 'Alright, what can I do? Which of my skills should I use?'
[Warning! A group of beasts approaching]
'Beasts? How many are they?'
[Thirty in number, sir]
'Alright, I'll use that to my advantage.' Dave said in his mind, before his mind wandered backwards to process a certain ssage from the system. 'Wait, did you just answer now?'
[Yes, sir. I can now give answers to any questions you ask, as long as it's sothing I can answer]
Dave didn't have the ti to think about this as the gunman was now in front of Simbi with his gun raised. "You, get up... slowly."
'I thought you said there are beasts coming?' Dave said to the system.
[Yes sir, they are already here]
At that mont, a loud, growling sound echoed through the air, sending a chill down everyone's spines. The group soon realized that the nacing sound was not coming from just one beast, but from multiple predators.
A total of thirty snarling creatures had erged from the surroundings, their piercing black eyes fixed intently on every mber of the group.
'About ti.' Dave said within himself, a grin had appeared on his face.
The sudden appearance of the beasts caught the masked n off guard, and their attention shifted from their hostages to the new, more pressing threat.
Their gazes locked onto the approaching pack, their fingers instinctively tightening around their weapons as they prepared to face the unexpected danger.
Seizing this opportunity, a certain instinct had kicked inside Dave as he grabbed Simbi's sword closest to him. When she dropped her weapon, it had ended up right behind him, so it was easy and quick for him to grab.
With swift and decisive action, he grabbed the sword and struck, severing the masked man's arms, rendering him helpless.
The man's cries of agony echoed through the air, then Gunther and the rest of the group had followed Dave's lead, overpowering and disarming the remaining masked n.
[Quest completed!]
[You have saved Simbi from being molested by the masked man]
Dave's gaze had drifted to the armless masked man laying on the ground, blood could be seen spilling out of his severed arms, and the life seems to be drawing out of him.
"God, did I just do that?" Dave said, not believing that he had just cut off a person's arm.
"Yeah, and you'll need to do more than just that." Simbi said, glaring at the group of approaching beasts.
To survive, they need to be ruthless, to not just beasts but also to other humans, this was the state of the world now. Dave had ca to realise this in just a few minutes that he woke up.
His grip on the sword tightened, 'Well, at least I'll get to complete one of my daily quests.' He said as he stared at the second Daily Quest which required him to kill twenty beasts in a day.
Gunther, with his impressive strength, had taken down two masked n, including the one with gun, with ease, while Chris and the others quickly subdued the rest of the masked n. The sudden turn of events had left the masked n reeling, unable to counterattack.
For a mont, everyone's gaze had fell onto Dave and the man he slayed in front of him. But they instantly looked away to face the upcoming threat.
The beasts, now re feet away, continued their relentless approach, their growls growing louder and more nacing.
"Alright guys, it's not over." Gunther said. "Let's deal with those monsters as fast as possible."
At that mont, the beasts had started charging in towards the group and the mbers of Gunther's group had started dealing with them.
Simbi took the gun belonging to the armless man, from the floor, then nodding towards Gunther who now had the second gun in his hands, the two had started firing off against the multiple beasts coming their way. This had helped the group subdue the beasts quickly.
Within a few minutes, all thirty beasts had been dealt with, thanks to the two new guns retrieved from the masked n. All of the masked n had been rounded off to a number of two. Their hands were tied to the back to prevent them from escaping.
"That was a close one." One of the group mbers said, heaving a sigh of relief, that was until another group of beasts, bigger in number to the previous ones, had erged in front of the group. There were about sixty of them this ti.
