Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 138 Purple Lightning (SS) !!!

Celeste's direct question surprised him a little. No one has ever asked him about this. What should he say?

Should he come clean?

But why would he? He has no obligation to reveal it.

Celeste took the silence as her answer.

"I understand. You don't have to answer me. I know it won't be simple."

'When the guild members are A and S ranks so obviously the guild master would be stronger than them.' Celeste thought if that is the case then it was reasonable why Shin won't tell her.

"!?"

Shin smiled faintly seeing that Celeste was probably misunderstanding something. It's good that he won't have to explain anything.

James who was also interested in Shin's rank revealed a disappointed expression. But he could only sigh while hiding his curiosity.

"Are we going to attack them now?" James asked.

"Yes," Shin replied.

Everyone had confidence in Shin's decision so they naturally agreed.

Shin started explaining his plan. After he finished his explanation they couldn't help but express their awe.

All the precise ways to avoid the traps. Enemies' power, level, location, and strategies to deal with them.

Everything was planned perfectly.

He had already planned an escape strategy for them in the unlikely chance they may need it. Though he was certain everything will work according to the plan.

It was time to attack.

Jenny raised a barrier around the whole school to stop any of the criminals from escaping.

Although with Jenny's strength it was only barely possible to make a barrier covering the whole school. Its strength was reduced due to its size. Shin injected his Mana and Divine energy to strengthen the barrier. Now it can easily withstand attacks of level 50 and below.

Alice and Shin were going to work separately. Alice would focus on rescuing the hostages. There will be many enemies for her to face. But with her strength, it was no problem for her.

James would kill all the ones who try to escape the barrier.

Jenny and Celeste had a special task given by Shin. They were going to work together.

____________

Seeing the barrier appeal out of nowhere surprised the Green Serpent's members. They felt maybe it was an enemy attack. Even if it was not they were now alert.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know either."

"Report to the boss."

They were not sure what was happening. But suddenly a scream sounded and a burned dead body crashed in front of them.

"Wh-What is this?"

"Is he dead?"

"Is that the wall guard? Who dares kill him?"

Suddenly everyone felt a tingling sensation in their body. Next moment the wall in front of them blasted. It was the same wall they defended as the boundary wall of their base. Now it was easily destroyed. It was 10 m tall. Who could destroy it so easily?

Then the scene in front of them left them speechless.

A majestic figure of a human covered in purple lighting appeared in front of them floating in the air. His eyes, his hair, and his entire body were covered in purple lightning. No one dared to get close to it. Not that they could.

Lighting was zapping around him. Any normal person would be zapped to death.

"Who is he?"

Everyone was left dumbfounded. Fear crept inside their minds and they just wanted to escape from there. All their confidence was slowly starting to crumble at the strength of the unknown enemy in front of them.

But a bearded man came forward and shouted.

"Don't be afraid, those are just cheap tricks. We can kill him easily if we work together."

"Let's kill that intruder."

The bearded man had certain charisma in his voice. He was able to persuade others.

"Yes, we can defeat him."

"Everyone let's show him what happens when anyone tries to mess with us."

Some more shouts sounded. They were some of the overconfident ones.

Others also felt there is no way the enemy could face all of them. Maybe it was an opportunity for them to get recognition.

The bearded man was very satisfied with their reaction. To increase their morale he also added. "The one who kills him will be rewarded."

His words were very effective.

"Kill him."

"I will be the one to get his head."

Little by little more and more people were gathered. They all wanted to get the enemy's head.

***

Shin was calmly observing the situation. He was very happy now. 'That beardy is a nice guy. He saved me a lot of trouble. Otherwise, I might have to chase them around. I certainly don't want that.'

In front of Shin were more than 50 people. 'I don't think others will come.'

Shin raised his hand and purple lighting landed on the person in front of him.

*Boom*

[You have killed an awakened.]

The notification sounded and the ones who were about to attack had an expression of disbelief.

There's no way Shin can let them go. He started throwing lightning attacks at everyone. Some with defensive abilities tried to defend but the power was too much for them.

*Boom*

*Crash*

"Uwaah"

"Run"

"Someone kill him."

"Aaahhh"

"Escape."

Many attack ability users aimed their attacks at Shin. But they were all useless. The lightning around him was like a cloak protecting him. But attacks were able to reach them.

Shin aimed his lightning attacks at those who were trying to run from him. Soon under the barrage of these attacks, they died mercilessly.

Shin stopped flying and landed on the ground.

The bearded man was still alive. When he saw everyone dying at Shin's hands. He felt his entire body going numb.

"T-This."

He could never imagine the enemy would be that strong.

Many attacks were shot at Shin. But against his lightning, everything failed.

Shin concentrated the lightning around his hands. His every punch was the death of another. With his insane stats and the power of thunder, they were burned with a big hole in their bodies.

*Bang* 𝙛𝔯𝒆e𝔀e𝗯𝓷𝗼𝘃e𝚕.𝒄𝗼𝗺

[You have killed an Awakened.]

[You have killed an Awakened.]

[You have killed an Awakened.]

[You have killed....]

...

Notifications continued to ring inside his head and he continue to kill those people.

All of them were below level 30 and Shin already knew their abilities so no one could even scratch him.

Shin didn't feel anything as he killed them, he was merciless. It may be because he had seen their cruelty with Leonard's memories. Or maybe something inside him had changed. He didn't know. But he was certain of one thing. He couldn't let them go today.

Though they had no problems with Shin. They had to die regardless. He doesn't want any obstacles in his plans. If they start operating in Polaris City it may be troublesome for him. Shin had his plans regarding Polaris city too.

By the time Shin snapped out of his thoughts. The ground was already vacant. To be precise all the people were dead bodies and only one man was standing it was that beardy.

Standing atop the bloodied ground. Shin felt no emotions. A place that used to be a school ground now is covered in blood and dead bodies are scattered everywhere.

The ground had holes everywhere and the person responsible for such destruction was standing there between dead bodies with a neutral expression.

A burnt smell lingered in the air. The smell of roasted bodies and the blood.

Shin waved his hands and the lightning in his hands subsided.

The bearded man was terrified. When he saw Shin walking toward him. He felt his soul may leave his body in fear.

Why was only he left alive?

Why did everyone die?

How did they die?

His mind was on the verge of breaking.

Shin calmly walked toward him avoiding the dead bodies and pools of blood.

"Wh-What do you want?" The beardy said in a terrified voice.

Shin didn't bother explaining. He just grabbed beardy's head and activated.

"Mind Control."

The beardy screamed in pain and struggled in Shin's grip. He tried his best to escape from Shin's grip. But too bad for him. Shin's stats were far beyond his. He could only accept his fate.

"AAAHH!!" 𝘧𝒓e𝑒𝑤e𝙗𝚗o𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝐜𝐨ｍ

"YOU BASTR*D!!"

Finally after a fierce struggle of 5 minutes. The beardy stopped moving.

Shin took two steps back and ordered.

"Stand up."

Without any complaints, the beardy stood up looking at Shin with a neutral expression.

She got a notification that made him smile.

[Mind control is successful.]

[The target's mind is broken. Once the host removes the control, the target will die.]

"I think the pressure the too much for him. He can be used only one time. Well, that's fine." After using Mind Control to persuade Kevin. Shin's proficiency also increased. Now he can control enemies like puppets. Though there are some restrictions and conditions that are necessary. This ability was great.

"Go and bring more people together. I want to finish as many as I can. I don't want to chase them around." Shin ordered beardy.

The beardy nodded his head and started walking somewhere. 'Many people inside the school probably didn't see the fight but must have heard the fighting sounds. Hopefully beardy brings many people with him.'

"Ah, before he brings more people. I should clean this up." Shin mumbled seeing the dead bodies. 'So gross.'

He flicked his fingers and activated "Hell Fire."
