NTR Rogue in the Apocalypse-Chapter 162: Silvera
"We finally meet face to face, John," the woman said with a confident tone. Her voice was calm, but there was an edge of arrogance to it.
"What did you do with Stephanie? If you have hurt her I swear—"
The woman interrupted John, "oh please, spare me your empty threats. Your threats are as useless as your little harem," the woman said dismissively.

John gritted his teeth and stepped closer, ready to fight.
"John!" Julia ran out of the base and yelled, her expression filled with concern. She was followed by Octavia and Lydia.
The woman’s smile disappeared from her lips and a frown appeared in its place, "the slut harem has arrived."
Julia’s hand squeezed John’s arm and she gasped. "Who is that?"
The woman rolled her eyes.
"My name is Silvera, you hairless apes!" She announced as she glanced at everyone in the crowd.
"Silvera," Dalia said with a scoff. "What have you done to Stephanie, huh?" Dalia’s voice rose as she glared at the woman in the sky.
John squeezed Dalia’s shoulder to calm her down.
"John..." Julia whispered, it was her usual gentle tone, but there was a strange dissonance to it.
A calm yet tense moment passed and John’s heartbeat seemed to slow down, his attention shifting towards Julia’s voice. He turned and met her gaze, but her face was the very picture of emotionlessness. She looked more like a statue than a human being, with her perfect complexion and eerie composure, but her words had a bite to it.
Realisation struck him and his eyes grew wider, but it was too late.
A burst of Energy slammed into him with the force of a jet, sending him flying a few feet into the air, the blast of energy tossing and spinning his body through the air like a leaf before landing with a thud in the dirt.
The force of the blast was so powerful that the courtyard was shrouded in a thick mist of dirt and rocks, preventing anyone from seeing what was happening.
As the dust settled and John strained his eyes, he saw that there were now two female Luminars floating near the gate and Julia’s body was unconscious next to Stephanie right below the Luminars.
Anger simmered low in his gut, he had been fooled, not once, but twice.
"You two are dead!" He yelled and rushed at them.
"Don’t waste your breath on us, John," one of the Luminars, a bald woman said with a smirk as she glanced down at John’s struggling body, the smugness in her voice was palpable and John gritted his teeth.
The bald woman pointed her index finger at the sky and invisible threads materialised from nowhere, bounding everyone’s limbs. John was powerless, even after using his new Skills, his skills did nothing against the threads.
His heart pounded in his chest and his mind raced with panic as he watched helplessly as the women, especially Julia, struggled against the invisible threads, their arms and legs restrained and unable to move.
Lydia whimpered, her beautiful face distorted with pain as the bald woman levitated higher, her wings stretching out behind her and her fingers curling inwards, like claws, a sinister, predatory look plastered on her face as she descended towards John, her fingers hovering over John’s heart.
Silvera scoffed and tilted her head towards the Bald Woman, "remember, he’s mine."
The bald woman sighed and turned her back on John. With the snap of her fingers, another vortex opened next to Stephanie and Julia who were still struggling against the threads.
A pit formed in John’s stomach. None of his skills could do anything against the threads and he knew they were gonna get away with whatever they were about to do.
"Where are you taking them?" John asked through gritted teeth.
"Oh, they’re not coming with us," Silvera said, her expression cool and composed.
Anger seeped into John’s bones and he bared his teeth, a primal urge to destroy coursing through his veins.
"What do you mean by that?" He yelled as he struggled against the threads.
The bald woman hovered next to him, her finger still pointed towards the sky, maintaining the threads that kept everyone restrained.
Silvera grinned a slow, malicious smile, her eyes glittering in the dark sky.
"Did you know?" Silvera asked with a soft chuckle. "I’ve been here for three days and no one realised."
She cackled as John glared at her.
"I would love to finish this conversation, but I’m in a hurry," she said, as she shot a glance at John, her tone dripping with sarcasm. "Here’s a hint. They’re going to a far more dangerous place. Grow stronger if you want to see them again."
The bald woman pointed at Stephanie and Julia and a strong gust of wind pushed them into the vortex. The vortex swallowed the two women and disappeared.
"Goodbye, you hairless apes."
The threads vanished, the bald woman jumped into the vortex, and the vortex dissipated. Silvera turned and left without a backward glance.
Dalia cried out, her hand reaching towards the vanished vortex, her fingertips scraping the air as she desperately tried to catch something, anything that could bring back Stephanie and Julia, but all was in vain.
"FUCK!" John shouted and slammed his fist onto the ground, shattering the concrete. His head swivelled, his face contorted with frustration as he struggled to collect his thoughts.
Octavia stared blankly at the spot where the women had disappeared, her eyes distant and unfocused, and Lydia stood motionless, her chest rising and falling in shallow breaths.
John looked up from the shattered concrete and he scanned his surroundings, his heart filled with regret.
"John, I’ve managed to put a tracker on Julia before they entered the courtyard," Echo spoke to him in his mind.
John’s heart leapt with hope, but he squashed that feeling quickly and forced himself to calm down.
"We have a tracker?" He asked with scepticism, wondering why Echo had kept this information from him.
"Yes, but..." Echo’s words trailed off.
"But?"
"The signal is so weak that they are likely thousands of light years away..."
John’s eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "They took them to another planet!? What the fuck? Any idea where?"
"It will take time and resources to decipher their location. As we do not have those, we should focus on growing our strength," Echo said.
Octavia rushed towards John and grabbed his shirt, her hands trembling. "Let’s get them back! We cannot let those monsters take them away. Who knows what they will do to them?"
Her eyes glistened with tears, but John’s face remained grim. He had a plan, but he could not say anything for the time being.
He would not allow Silvera and the other Luminars to get away with this. No matter where they took Stephanie and Julia, John would find them and bring them back safely.
"We need to work hard and make sure no one else gets taken away," Maria said as she stood next to John, her brows furrowed and her jaw tightened.
"We’ll get them back. Don’t worry."
A hard journey awaited them, but as a man of action, John knew now was not the time for thinking and worrying. Thanks to his Class Upgrade, he could tell they were still alive. For now, all he could do was do what he did best, kill monsters and steal women.
