Plundering in the Apocalypse-Chapter 149 Weak Boss!

//a Few minutes before//

After leading Jenny and Celeste to safety. Alice was on her way to Shin. She came across the leader of Green Serpents, Ren Hector.

"Who are you bit*h?" Ren shouted but there was no reply.

He smirked.

'Maybe she got afraid of me.' This gave a boost to his confidence.

At this time Alice was talking with Shin so this ant in front of her didn't matter to her.

She just waved her hand and dozens of soul servants stood up ready to face him.

Seeing those dozens of creepy humanoid figures, Ren got anxious. This woman in front of him was very strong.

"D-Don't come near me."

He immediately used his ability Demonic Fog (A).

"Take this."

All this time no human has been able to handle this fog. He was certain those black things won't stand a chance against his ability.

Who was he?

He was the leader of Green Serpents. One day he will rule the world.

He will lead an army and no one will be able to stand against him.

With such ambitions how could he lose his grounds now?

"No one can handle the effect of my Demonic fog. Once you get caught by me, I will make you serve me and you will become my puppet for the rest of your life."

He shouted arrogantly as his lustful eyes observed Alice's figure. He couldn't help but gulp at the sight of this beautiful girl.

Rosy red lips compliment her beautiful crimson eyes. Those obsidian black hair with shades of red on the underside. Like a beautiful art. Small nose and those smooth white cheeks. If not for the frown on her face and the killing intent she was emitting. You might want to eat her without restraint.

Her slim figure with no excess fat on her body. But with perfect body proportions. It was obvious there still are chances of growth in some areas. But even now she was very beautiful.

Ren had seen many girls and played with them. But she was extremely beautiful. None of the previous girls was a match for her.

Ren wanted to make her his woman. Obsession could be seen in his eyes. He had already planned for what to do with her, once he caught her.

So what if his organization was destroyed? He will make his empire again and this woman will stand beside him.

Seeing her cold look his obsession with her increased even more. He wanted to take her. He wanted to see what face she will make under him.

'Hehe."

But all his dreams shattered in the next moment.

'What?'

All those humanoid figures were unscathed. They looked even more terrifying now.

He was dumbfounded.

'They are fine? How?'

All his arrogance and confidence in himself shattered this time.

'Are they immune to my ability?'

He gritted his teeth in agreement and took out a dagger he had with him. It was a treasure, not a normal dagger. He prepared this just in case he needed to fight close combat in the future. His dagger techniques were not too good. He thought with his ability there won't be any need for it now and he can learn it slowly. But who would have thought this would come into use so soon?

He tightened his grip around the handle of the dagger.

He dashed towards those soul servants hoping to finish them. He swung his dagger hoping to take a few of them. But nothing worked. They were not only unscathed but also overwhelming in numbers. He was helpless.

Will he die like this?

Was this his end?

He had invested most of his stats to [Demonic Energy] so that he could use his ability freely. Awakeneds with different abilities sometimes have different types of Stats. Like Perception, Evasion, Aura, Ki, and many others. Just like them, one is Demonic Energy.

There are different types of entries and many different ways to absorb them. Like Shin's mana absorption. He can recover his mana plus with time increase the total mana pool.

Alice can acquire mana in the same way. For her Chaotic energy, it's kinda complicated. So let's talk about that later.

Anyway, Aura, Ki, Life energy, and many other types of energies all have their ways to absorb and increase them.

So in conclusion Ren Hector had Demonic Energy Stat instead of Mana and he can gain Demonic energy by investing stat points or corrupting and killing people.

Everything was going fine until now. With his ability, he was easily able to suppress others. He had never met an opponent who could counter his ability. So why did this happen?

'Wait a second. Those things are immune to my ability. What about the girl? She is the one controlling them. If I deal with her I will be fine right?'

Thinking of that his target changed to the ignorant but powerful girl in front of him.

'This girl is powerful. But she seems somewhat lost on thought. How careless. Heh, I know she is a summoner-type ability user. So she must be very weak in close combat. If I just deal with her. Her summons won't be able to do anything.'

Alice didn't know about Ren's thoughts. Not that she cared. She was busy talking with Shin via transmission. The ant doesn't deserve her attention.

Ren tried everything to get close to Alice but every time all his attacks were blocked by Soul Servants. This was getting very difficult. He had suffered many injuries all over his body.

'Why is nothing working?'

'Should I escape?'

'No.'

He can't let his dreams be crushed like this.

In his last hope, he took out the Red Pearl from before.

'I don't know what the use of this is. But, I am certain it has something to do with my ability.'

This even caught Alice's attention. But to his surprise, she didn't stop him from taking this pill and calmly waited.

Ren felt something was wrong. But he had no other choice he could only trust in his instincts.

As soon as he swallowed the pearl a small smile appeared on Alice's face. He thought something was wrong. He wanted to take the pill out but it was too late.

'Sh*t.'

He regretted it.

To be honest, Alice was smiling because of her talk with Shin. It has nothing to do with his intake of Red Pearl.

Ren felt there must have been something wrong with the pill. It was a trap.

A moment later he felt pain in her heart and stomach.

A large amount of demonic energy swirled inside his body. His eyes turned red in pain. Veins popped up all over his body. A severe pain hit him but he started laughing.

'Hahaha.'

His Demonic Energy stat was increasing at an astonishing rate.

It was 210 before taking the Red Pearl.

But now his stat kept increasing.

210... 550... 1200... 1750... 3500... 11000... 25000... 70000... 99560... 156250...200000.

It finally stopped at 200000 but his body was no longer human. There were black wings on his back and his skin had been completely burned. His body was deformed. He looked like a monster.

But for some reason, he was still conscious.

"Hahaha, I can feel it. This is power. If I was not so weak. I could have obtained a lot more Demonic energy."

"Now no one can defeat me. I am the strongest."

Although there was a joy for power in the next moment it turned into anger when he saw his reflection in the window glass away from him.

Is face looked inhumane, his blonde hair was still there but it looked very ugly. His handsome face was gone.

"Because of you, I became like this."

He blamed everything on Alice. If he had not taken that Red Pearl, he could have died normally. Why blame others?

"Now that I have become like this. I won't let you go."

He was very confident. With his high Demonic energy, no one can defeat him.

Without his noticing, he was losing his mind.

He concentrated a lot of demonic energy around him. Now he could even defeat 100 awakeneds at the same level as him in a single move.

He defeated all of Alice's servants.

"Hahaha."

He saw Alice finally looking in his direction.

"How is it? Are you panicking now? Where is your previous indifferent attitude?"

"Am I a threat to you now?" f𝙧𝒆𝚎𝑤e𝚋𝓷o𝘷𝗲l.c𝐨m

"I know you can't handle me anymore."

"You weak as* b*tch come to me. I'll enjoy you and roast you alive after using you. Come and beg me."

"Hahaha."

He was losing his mind and started speaking nonsense.

Alice only muttered two words.

"Reaper Chains."

In the next moment. Large chains containing black chaotic energy shot from the ground binding him.

"What is this?"

He struggled to free himself. But everything was useless.

"Let me out." He shouted.

But in the next moment, his eyes widened in horror. He looked at Alice as if he saw a ghost.

"Y-You are taking my energy?"

The Demonic energy stat started decreasing at a rapid rate and only stopped after reaching zero.

His body returned to human again. But his eyes were dead.

At this time he heard Alice ask.

"Are you the boss here?"

"You didn't even know that and only now you are asking. Was I that worthless in your eyes?"

"Really, aren't you too weak to be a boss?"

'You took all my Demonic Energy. I can't even use my ability. You are the freak here.'

The most surprising thing for Ren was that Alice was not affected by absorbing so much demonic energy. There was a book floating near her which gave a sense of dread to him.

Sometime later he heard footsteps coming in his direction. For some reason, this girl had yet to kill him.

"He is alive."
