Plundering in the Apocalypse

A large amount of mana was transferred to Alice.

"Just a little more," Shin mumbled in a cold sweat.

*Ugh*

Alice\'s eyes were closed as she was very focused and concentrated on pouring all of Shin\'s mana with her Chaotic energy.

Soon a smile formed on Alice\'s face as a smile formed on her face. She was ready. Her dark red eyes flashed open with a glint of blue and black energy.

"Reaper Chains."

As the chant escaped her small mouth all the accumulated energy was unleashed and the ground started to rumble. Dark horrifying chains covered with the mysterious energy of death shot puncturing the ground. Those chains were very thick with a sharp pointed blade at the forefront.

The same attack can be used for various tactics.

The Wyvern body was descending at a rapid pace and the force behind that descent was very destructive. But the approaching horrifying chains alerted the Wyvern.

He flapped his wings with full strength and a dozen of flames orbs shot toward the chains in an attempt of countering them.

"Don\'t even think about it." Shin immediately used Water magic (A) and Sharpshooter (A) to shoot down all the incoming flames before they could hit those chains.

Wyvern\'s attack failed and it was very agitated. There was no time to avoid those Reaper chains as the Wyvern faced that deadly overpowered attack which was enhanced by Shin\'s mana.

The blades on top of those chains did hurt the Wyvern but the actual goal was achieved when those chains tied the Wyvern.

"At last!" Shin heaved a sigh. The plan was to render the Wyvern immobile and attack it with skills till it dies. As the chains were now powered with Shin\'s mana they were very strong.

"Now onto the next step," Shin uttered to which Alice nodded her head while panting.

"Sharpshooter, Electro bolt X15."

Shin aimed all those attacks perfectly missing the chains.

*GRRAAHH*

\'Yes, it\'s working.\' Shin was overjoyed but his happiness didn\'t last long as the chains started breaking. The Pseudo dragon flames covering the Wyvern\'s body were much more powerful than he had expected.

As the chains broke Alice also took some burden and coughed blood. She was out of energy and couldn\'t move now. Her body was also hurt by the backlash of activating such a skill. Shin got nervous seeing Alice\'s situation but his attention immediately shifted to the approaching Wyvern\'s attack.

\'Alice\'s condition is not good. I can\'t let this continue. I can only count on one attack. But will it work? I don\'t have time to think about it. Either it works or we die.\'

"Don\'t worry Alice I\'ll protect you."

Shin could have escaped alone by avoiding the attacks and waiting for the poison to work but he preferred to die with Alice than leave her alone in that condition. As she was currently weak, Extreme speed would be too much for her body.

Alice knew it too well as she tried persuading Shin.

"Shin, leave me here and dodge the attack," Alice shouted while putting all her strength into her words.

*Cough*

\'He should escape. I was nothing but a burden to him. My attacks were weak and ineffective. Even the chains broke, in which, I had used both Shin\'s mana and all of my energy. Queen transformation didn\'t work and even in my last moment, I am just a burden for Shin.\' Alice had a sad look on her face as her lips were covered by her blood.

"Don\'t worry about me. I\'ll be fine. Just dodge the attack." Alice tightened her fist and a smile formed on her face as she said those words. That was a fake smile as she was putting up a front.

\'Even if I die like this. I can only blame myself. I do have regrets that I can\'t spend more time with Shin.\'

\'When did I become so greedy? Haha. I wanted to be with him more. Most of the time we spent together was fighting with monsters. I wanted to spend normal days with him. At least go on a normal date. Enjoy time as normal couples do.\'

\'If only that was possible.\' Alice thought as she saw the attack was just in front of them.

"I\'ll see you later. JUST GO. " She shouted as tears started coming out of her eyes. She was afraid she didn\'t want Shin to leave her. But she didn\'t want to be remembered as a selfish girl in her last moments. And if something happened to Shin too she could never forgive herself. She accepted her death.

Shin\'s voice echoed with a laugh.

"Ha hahaha."

\'Liar.\'

"Did you actually think I will leave you to die and escape on my own?"

"Dream on. You are my woman and you will have to bear with me your whole life."

"So there\'s no way you can die here," Shin said a grin on his face.

Alice was dumbfounded as her teary eyes widened.

\'Silly girl, you think I don\'t know how heartbreaking it must have been to say those words to me.\'

"So just sit tight and watch. I\'ll deal with it."

The Wyvern was very close to them and there was no way to avoid it now. Not that he wanted to avoid it.

Shin circulated all his Mana and Divine energy. He concentrated everything on his single attack. As Shin saw the approaching Wyvern covered in flames.

He smiled.

"Extreme speed, Gravity Control." At full speed, he shot at the Wyvern ready to face the powerful attack. The high force and temperature of the flames started melting Shin\'s skin even though they didn\'t come in contact yet. Shin\'s blessing and pain endurance helped him endure the pain.

"Let\'s both compete with fire," Shin shouted and activated his skill which was strengthened by divine energy.

"Dark Flames."

The Wyvern roared and his flames also intensified.

Alice\'s eyes widened in terror.

"No, Shin. Please."

*AAAHHH*

Shin gave his everything behind that attack. As the Wyvern\'s body clashes with Dark Flames. Both attacks were very powerful.

With the clash, many shockwaves formed. Shin gritted his teeth as he felt himself being pushed back.

He forced himself to move forward even when his body was melting. His skin was melting and the muscles and bones were in clear view. He was barely hanging himself from being pushed back more.

The Wyvern\'s attack was much more powerful than he had expected.

\'Is this the end? Even after everything, I can\'t push it back. The Mana I have is not enough.\'

\'At least I have to save Alice.\' Shin made up his mind to take the whole attack even with his body.

He heard a ringing sound in his head.

He wasn\'t in any condition to hear everything but he felt a surge of power inside his body. As the Dark flames became even more powerful and finally managed to push back the Wyvern\'s attack.

The dark and purple flames destroyed the surroundings.

Wyvern felt the power behind those dark flames and a moment later he was covered in it.

The screaming Wyvern fell to the ground.

*THUD*

*SCREECH*

He let out a shrill cry before finally closing his eyes. As he died and the long battle came to an end.

"Wait Wait Stop," Shin shouted hurriedly.

[Plunder Deactivated]

"Huu safe," Shin mumbled.

As he leveled up. He had mostly recovered. With his blessing and level-ups, his body was now back to normal.

He walked to Alice and noticed she had also recovered from the level-ups. She had a guilty look on her face. Shin knew the exact reason after all she did lie to him.

"You know Alice. I also don\'t want to lose you. I can\'t bear to. You are very precious to me. Do you think I would be fine if something happened to you? No." Shin uttered with a grim look.

Alice\'s eyes widened.

"So promise me. Don\'t even think about sacrificing anything for my sake. I\'ll only be happy if you are with me." His words made her tear up.

Shin sat on his knees and hugged her. Alice couldn\'t hold her tears anymore as she bawled out.

"I\'m sorry. I\'m sorry. I promise."

*Sob*

Alice cried but she was very happy that they can stay together now.

"Are you okay now?" Shin asked as Alice calmed down and stopped crying.

"Yeah," Alice replied with a blush as she was feeling embarrassed at her previous behavior now.

"So we got the monster core?" Alice asked.

"Yeah," Shin replied.

"What about the other material? That Divine Blessing."
