Under The Veil of Night-Chapter 656 Monsters Unleashed
Outside the Gate
Patrick smirked when he saw the gate broken. "It's not as sturdy as I thought."
"Let's go!"
Without waiting for the others, Patrick stomped on the ground and charged towards Jeff and Ayres. Before he could reach the two of them, a surge of people –no, monsters attacked him.
Patrick stopped his movement abruptly and put his spear on defensive position as the monster lunged at him. The ugly looking monster roared at Patrick right in front of the man. Patrick's face darkened as he kicked the monsters back, slamming it to the group of monsters behind.
"What in the world is that?" the leader's face paled immediately.
Dean readied his blade. "That's the result of their experiment, Officer. Haven't you seen the video and briefing that they give?"
He had seen them, but the monsters in that video were nothing like the one in front of him. This monster looked far scarier and bigger compared with the one he had seen before. Fear seeped into his bone as he readied his gun. He wouldn't let himself be defeated easily.
"The reinforcements have come, you should regroup with them," Neo pointed to the back as he stepped forward. His two hands were holding handgun, ready to shoot them at any time.
"First thing first, defeat those two!"
After Patrick was hindered, Lou charged forward from his position and attacked Ayres. His sword was blocked by a metal plate that Ayres wore on his arm. After the miserable defeat under Kanae's hand, Ayres was being extra careful.
If he lost his arm in a battle again, it would be very humiliating.
"Move, Ayres!" Lou ordered.
"Do you think I'll follow your order?" Ayres swung his arm, pushing Lou back. His eyes narrowed. "You might be powerful for the human's limit, but you're not my match, Lou. You better get away before you get hurt."
Lou sneered. "You should be saying that to yourself."
With that, the two of them clashed once more. Sounds of metal clashing reverberated in the open air, sending chills to whoever heard it.
Even the monsters were smart enough to avoid the two of them. They made circle around the two as they didn't wish to get wounded accidentally. Moving towards the soldiers, the leader's face turned grim.
"Everyone, brace yourself for the impact!"
Bang! Bam! Crash!
The outer gate became total chaos as the monsters poured out like a tide. It was extremely hard for those who stood at the very front to withstand the attack. They had to carefully hold their shield to make sure that they were not wounded.
"Attack!"
"Shoot or just wound them!"
Patrick swung his spear around, wounding every single monster around him. With every movement that he made, several monsters fell down to the ground with blood flow out of their body.
Behind him, Kevin had taken out his sword. He eyed the two monsters in front of him coldly. With a swift movement, he slashed the two monsters into two.
His action caused the soldiers behind him to open their mouth in disbelief. No matter how sharp his sword was, was it humanly possible to cut people into two in mere seconds? After all, these monsters have enhanced muscle that made them far tougher than ordinary humans.
"Uncle, I'll be going first," Kevin informed.
Patrick arched his eyebrows as he swung his spear. Several monsters fell down again. "What are you talking about?"
"Jeff has gone."
"Ah," as he was preoccupied by the monsters, he didn't realize that Jeff had slipped away from their sight. He cursed internally. That cunning man would surely wait for them in the most advantageous place for him. This would make their fight harder.
Even though Jeff couldn't fight head-on, there was no doubt that he has the ability to control the monsters and people. If he decided to control hundreds of monsters to attack them….
That would be an extreme nightmare.
"I'll accompany you, Brat. You won't survive for a long time if I leave you alone," Patrick smirked. He charged forward from his place as he swung his spear and made several thrusting movements. Each thrust was directed at the vital point of each monster, killing them with ease.
Kevin didn't reply and proceeded by moving his sword to kill the monsters not far from him. Although he rarely used sword, he was an expert at using them because of the harsh training that he received ever since he was young.
The monsters' strength couldn't be compared to the two of them. After massively killing them, they reached the forest and headed towards the building.
"He places the barrier around the building," Kevin remarked.
Patrick nodded his head. "Let's break it."
Before they could try to break the barrier again, numerous monsters rushed towards them like their life depended on it. Seeing another surge of monsters, Patrick truly wondered how many students that Ferdinand had killed to make them this many.
"Brat, this is not going to be easy."
"I don't need you to remind me, Old Uncle," Kevin replied.
"Hey! I'm not that old! You bratty brat!"
Instead of replying, Kevin stepped forward first to receive the monsters' attack. He bent down his knee slightly as he moved swiftly to cut them all. Just like a log, they were cut cleanly as fast as possible.
After he had finished he looked at his uncle with an unreadable expression.
In Patrick's eyes, his nephew was mocking him. He cursed slightly. "Fine brat, if that's what you want, let's competes who can finish them all the most! I'll surely defeat you fairly and squarely!"
The two of them continued their fight with Patrick berated Kevin here and there out of annoyance. However, it didn't matter how many times he tried to taunt Kevin. The end result was always the same.
Kevin stayed quiet and fought with ease.
…
"Mike, let's go," Neo had finished his preparation and called his friend. He stepped out of the formation much to the other's surprise.
"Wait you two, don't….!"
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
In a swift movement, Neo fired the four nearest monsters near him. The leader was stupefied. Before he could process what was going on, Mike had stepped forward and used his fist to neutralize the other monsters' movement.
With Neo covering from the distance and Mike fighting close quarter combat, the two of them made it towards the sea of monsters. They proceeded in neither slow nor fast movement, making their way towards the buildings.
"You might want to close your mouth before the fluid from their blood gets in," Dean's voice awakened the leader.
He quickly closed his mouth as if he truly feared that. He looked at the calm Dean in amazement.
"How could you stay calm?"
"Oh?" Dean arched his eyebrows. He shrugged as he stepped forward. "Maybe it's because this is not the first time I fight with them."
The leader was stunned. He looked at Dean fighting the monster with an open mouth. The efficiency of Dean's movement was truly the pinnacle of martial art. It was easy to see that this man was extremely exceptional.
