A whole three seconds of deathly silence and confusion passed as nobody could comprehend what just happened or what was happening.
Mira's headless fallen corpse which dyed the ground with blood make the ground a deep red color.
The flesh, blood and bones of the unfortunate survivors also spread out on the floor.
The destroyed wall, the still and silent head of the terrifying creature made everyone to feel like they were in a nightmare.
"Leader!! The monster is not dead!! Let's get into battle positions!" A young man shouted and turned towards Kyle, thinking that the creature which had been supposedly killed by their leader was in a way back to life.
He didn't expect their leader to lie about the death of the monster.
No
It was not that he didn't expect their leader to lie.
He just could not fathom or see any reason why their leader would lie about the death of the monster.
Their leader would never cause intentional harm upon them.
He was the person who saved them numerous times and even made them stronger.
He gave them soul stones, skill crystals and even weapons gained from killing monsters without collecting payment.
All he asked from them in return was that they follow him in battle
Growing stronger to the point where they could eventually leave the academy and go look for their families…
If they still had one.
Their leader was so strong to the point that his might was unfathomable.
Numerous times had he saved them from perilous situations and this time would just be like the past.
Although Mira, the leader's right hand died which shocked them, they knew it was because the attack was unexpected and came at lightning fast speed that their leader could not react and save Mira.
If not because of that, he would undoubtedly save her.
And just like the dangerous times in the past where survival seemed bleak,
He would definitely save them.
These were the thoughts of not only the young man but of everyone in the survivor group.
Their faith in Kyle was at the peak.
The young man who shouted turned around and got into a fighting stance. The remaining survivors also regained their composure and reformed their formation.
Corey who was kneeling on the floor with one leg looked at the group and he was impressed by their reactions.
pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ He looked at Kyle, wondering what his next moves would be.
He wanted to give him benefit of the doubt.
He wanted to give Kyle a chance to change what was in his mind.
He had to!
He could not just believe that his friend from way before University would suddenly betray him.
And he would betray him when he did no wrong to him in any way at all!
Just as Corey was observing Kyle, everyone, all the survivors including Corey heard a voice filled mockery, amusement and disdain.
"Hey Mac? Wanna bet how long this batch would last?" Mat said, causing everyone to turn towards him with confused expressions.
Batch?
"You know I hate betting. But if I was to choose… 30 seconds." Mac said with an indifferent tone and expression.
His eyes moved from one member of the group to another, seeing their expressions of confusion was nothing new to him.
He had seen it all too many times from the previous batches. He knew that their expressions would change once the reality of the situation hit them.
From confusion to denial
From denial to either courage or pleas
From courage or pleas to despair
Then from despair to sometimes rage.
All this emotions, Mac has seen in the previous two batches and seeing the group going through all this emotions gave him a sort of ecstasy.
It filled his heart with joy and pleasure
It felt… ORGASMIC!!!
Just as he was looking at the group's expression, he noticed Corey who had a different expression than the others.
He didn't have an expression of confusion or denial like the others, he had an expression of pain and sorrow.
To Mac, Corey felt… calm.
Mac frowned.
Meanwhile Mat, not knowing his brother's thoughts, spoke with disdain and surprise after his brother spoke.
"30 seconds? I choose 10. This bunch are just useless wimps." Mat said.
The entire group of survivors had a confused expression hearing the words of the brothers.
30 seconds?
10 seconds?
Batch?
What were they talking about?
Just as all, even Corey was thinking about those questions, Kyle who had been silent throughout, spoke calmly and with an authoritative tone.
"What do you think you're doing sleeping there?
Get up, and eat."
Everybody including Corey wondered who Kyle was talking to.
Corey looked at the direction of Kyle's stare and his eyes constricted.
'It can't be?'
Corey thought but just as he thought this, his guess was to his horror, proven right.
The neck of the bizarre creature moved and from the piles of bricks and stones, the head of nightmares rose, it's eyeball rotated a few times before it stopped and focused.
It turned it's head and looked at the group of survivors below.
With a big head and extremely long neck, this creature could be regarded as a creature of horror, but,
No!
Not only did it have an extremely long neck and big head which frightened a lot of people, to the shock and horror of everyone including Corey, the creature... spoke.
"Hello. Are you food?"
With the voice of an extremely young girl, the creature spoke.
Shock and terror permeated everybody in the room. A cold shiver spread through their entire being and soul making the room deadly silent.
The creature a few seconds later, twisted it's neck in a 360° angle and spoke with the same girly voice.
"Hello. Are you food?"
But just as it spoke, Kyle spoke.
"Stop wasting my time and eat"
Corey could swear that he perceived a smile from the creature but before he could wonder if what he saw was right or wrong, his danger sense warned him with a very loud whistle. He groaned slightly and held his head.
A second later, he ignored the whistling sound and looked up, and just as he looked up, the monster spoke once again but this time, it said
Only One Word
Before
All
Hell
Broke
Loose.
"Food."
