Chapter 149: Dead?
" Killing it won't give me any benefit, and when a beast's life is in danger it becomes even more violent and dangerous, so it is better to just stay away from it. "
Lucian looked around, instead of landing on the ground they had landed on top of a building which seemed to have two floors, Lucian moved his gaze towards his house and noticed that they had travelled quite far away from his house.
Only the 3rd Phase Chasms had opened, but the situation already seemed so chaotic these creatures were madly pouring out of the Chasm, destroying and attacking everything in view.
" Hoo Thanks Zero and Echo, that was quite close. " Lucian spoke and began to move towards the stairs, to get to the ground floor.
[ Hehe, We are together in this. ]
(My pleasure.)
Even though all of Lucian's devices were destroyed but Echo was completely safe, Lucian had long ago uploaded all the necessary data over the clouds.
" The door is locked. " He spoke after noticing that the door leading downwards was locked from inside, using the sword he cut the door easily and then walked inside.
Right now, he was in a really bad shape his body was burnt at several places and his shirt was almost torn to shreds, he had a few wounds over his body and blood could be seen on his face.
This building was an office of some business but after all the events that had happened earlier, all the people had locked themselves in different rooms, that was all they could do.
Lucian soon walked out of the building, he looked towards the sky and could see strange blurry figures filling the sky, because of their high number they were slightly visible.
" Zero, just how many such creature are there in total? " He questioned, this was just one of the Chasm that was connecting the reverse Earth to that 3rd Phase planet.
[ Hmmm There are approx... a dozen million, the other planet is much smaller than earth so the population is low though a lot of them are strong unlike here on Earth where most humans are not awakened. ]
"..." Lucian was not surprised, but since the other planets is connected to the Earth via several Chasms so they won't be coming to just one place but all over the world.
" They are already running amok, it wouldn't be safe to go back right now so I'll wait a little before heading back.
Damn if Scarlett was there I would have been fine, where did she disappear to when all those things were happening? "
Lucian spoke, he was standing at the gate of the building and looked up, he could barely see the blurry figures in the sky.
" Anyway I should give a call to someone so they can come here. " Lucian took his mobile out and decided to give Scarlett a call.
[ Two of them are approaching. ]
Before he could even dial the number a text appeared in his head, throwing the mobile in his pocket Lucian closed the door and locked it from inside, it won't be enough to stop them and could only buy him a second or two.
But if they are inside the building the creatures won't have the advantage of flying and the area they could hide in will be much smaller, Lucian rushed back to the floor above while asking:
" Are they both at the 3rd phase? "
[ Only less than half of them are at the 3rd Phase, around a little over a quarter which is still a lot higher compared to Earth in terms of ratio, where there are only a few women in the 8th Phase which is the highest here.
As for those two creatures, one of them is at the 1st Phase peak and the other is at the 2nd phase. ]
" I guess this is better, but it would have been even better if I had the ability to absorb the Fog here. "
While speaking he climbed onto the 1st floor, as he ran he looked around to search for the storage room and finally he found one.
Just as he got closer he heard the sound of the door breaking, those two creatures had already entered the building and should be looking around the different rooms.
The storage room was locked from inside.
*BANG*
With a kick, Lucian sent the door flying along with the materials placed behind it and instantly the fearful scream of a few people sounded, inside there sat over eight women and three men, all wearing business suits.
Ignoring them, Lucian walked inside and began to look around and it didn't take him long to find what he wanted, a can of kerosene oil.
" Do any of you have a lighter? " Lucian turned towards the people covering in fear and asked, they were so frightened that they didn't answer him immediately.
Since he was in a hurry so instead of wasting time, he walked closer to them and pulled a woman up by holding her collar, then he repeated his question: " Do any of you have any lighter? "
' H- He is just a man, but why is he so strong? ' the woman thought, because of the fear she had forgotten all about women's dominance or whatever.
" I- I have one. " Another woman said and took out a lighter from her pocket then she passed it to Lucian.
He let go of the women then hastily walked away, the only way up was through the stairs, and from the sound it was obvious that both the Xarus were still searching on the floor below.
There were a few people who were hiding in those rooms, so occasionally the screams of people sounded before disappearing completely, the fear in the air increased by several times.
After walking towards the stairs,he emptied around half of the can over the stairs entrance then he hid himself and waited.
The two Xaru were attracted by the noise, as they ran towards the stairs since there was not much space in the corridor so they were not able to fly.
*TIP* *TIP* *TIP* *TIP*
Even though the two creatures were not visible properly and even the blood marks over their scales was hidden by their large wings which gave them the best camouflage.
But as they stepped over the kerosene their footsteps could be seen and heard, just as they were about to climb Lucian emptied the can on top of the two creatures.
*KREEEEE*
*CRIEEK*
The two Xarus jumped away as soon as the liquid fell onto their bodies, but Lucian had succeeded with what he wanted to do, he got the kerosene over their heads.
' It would be bad if their screams attract more of them here, I would have to kill them immediately. '
Thinking this he took a piece of cloth from Zero's storage, then dripping a little of the kerosene oil over it, he burned it with the lighter and then walked down the stairs where the two Xarus were just about to climb the stairs.
*SCRIEEEEK*
Upon seeing Lucian half way on the stairs, they ignored the strong smell of the kerosene and pounced towards him.
