202 chapter 3

"Roooooarrrrr!!!!" a roaring sound accompanying with a vibrating howled curdled the blood of the group of people from the distant.

"What do you think is out there that was capable of making that noise?" Leonard asked Ryuji.

"Hell if I know?! But it's sound...big? I guess?" Ryuji replied.

"Well...no shit...here it is." Leonard mindlessly pointed at the direction where the howl was coming from, and from the dark forest- a large dog the size of bear came and leaped toward Leonard with it mouth wide open, revealing it bloody mouth fill with razor sharp teeth coated in all kind of mysterious substances and other known organic masses.

"Watch out!" the stubborn leader surprising called out for Leonard.

"Awww~ that's just cute." Leonard spread his arm wide open and seemingly welcoming the incoming zombified canine the size of a bear that was planning to rip out his face.

"Cutes and all, but I don't have time for this." Leonard snapped one of his finger which set in motion a scene that would baffled the group of people there.

The zombified Cerberus which was previously impaled by a shadowy lance and killed suddenly shot up and rammed onto the bear size version of itself in high speed, knocking the creature off course and crashed onto the side.

"Good one, Nugget~" Leonard thanked the reanimated canine for knocking the giant bear size dog onto the side.

"Roff Roff!" the zombie dog seen to like it new name given by Leonard and wagged it tail happily.

"I think you need to pay attention to the big dog over there- erm, wait- up till now I still haven't gotten down your name yet…" Ryuji suddenly had a revelation that he still hadn't got down the name of the youth that was before him.

"Wow, you're quick to notice." Leonard commented.

"We'll talk about this topic later, now- I have to pay attention at this one." Leonard then ignore the trap and quickly turned his attention at the giant dog that doesn't seen too happy at the sudden sneak attack that it had received just a moment ago.

The horribly mutated creature growled at him menacingly and charged once again.

"[Dark binding]" Leonard repeat his favorite crowd control spell and tendrils shot out and wrap up the hind leg of the charging canine and tripped it.

"Let just get this over with…" he then walked toward the canine who's currently struggling to break free from his grasp, however all those efforts were in vain as more tendrils began to shoot out and bind all of the creature limbs.

"DON'T GET TOO CLOSE!" the stubborn leader shouted at Leonard.

"Oh shut up will you? I already wrap this thing up like a burrito, what there's to be care-" just as Leonard was about to finish that sentence, he felt a sudden sense of crisis from his back and quickly turned around- only to discovered that the head of giant bear size dog, spliced up and revealed a mutated mess of tentacles covered in razor sharp teeth crazily whipping through the air.

"Why did I forget about this one…?" Leonard was stunned as he looked at the scene before him, a scene which look like it came out from one of those really bad tentacle hentais that his friends used to shit post on my communication channels back when he was still alive on Earth.

"Oh~ that look...really bad- just kidding." Leonard snapped his finger and a shadowy spear erupted from under the throat of the bear size canine and puncture through the creature esophagus and through the brain.

The world was in silence, the people there watched Leonard killing off a terrifying monster that's capable of killing them off within minutes like it was nothing but a joke.

After he finished killing the giant dog, he turned his attention back to the other dogs that was still around- but barely as he previously raised all their fallen brethren and turned them back against one another.

"Remind me not to casually thew one of those Energized Energy crystal grenade the next time you see me pulled out another one, dealing with these things can be quite a hassle sometimes, even when you're technically a level one hundred characters walking in a low level zone." Leonard told Ryuji who sat on the ground staring at him with eyes wide open, that's also goes true for the group of people that he had now captured, they were at loss for word.

"What are you people exactly?" the leader of the group muttered in a low voice.

"Just think of us as passerby- totally uninvolved with anything that's going on with in this world- but just happened to be dragged into this mess." Leonard replied while shrugging.

After Leonard little display of might, the group of masked people finally cracked up and gave in to their fate.

*****

Roughly an hour later.

"So, you're saying that back in the day, there was this big corporation called "Umbrella" which started to develop some kind of virus- for those who doesn't know what Umbrella Corp is, they're basically a multi-billions dollars company that operated through the entire world, they're involved in everything from pharmaceutical to military, these guys- created something that shouldn't be existed and fucked up...which lead to the pandemic and sooner a nuclear strike to purge things up, but unexpectedly shit got out of hand and the entire world was fucked over? Since the bomb did not exactly clean everything...but not only that, it accelerated the mutation rate?" Leonard tried to wrap his head around the concept of this world from the words of the leader.

"Yes, you basically just summed it the entire story, there's barely any living human left on the world anymore, it completely turned into a radioactive wasteland infested with these mutated creature…" the leader then looked at the corpse of the giant canine.

As Leonard continued on listening to what these people had to say, he tried to comprehend the reason as to why he was dragged into this fucked up world- that was totally unrelated to the main timeline, was it purely his bad luck and he ran into an accident, or maybe there's someone out there who wanted to screw him over.

"System, when can I get out of this world?" he asked the system using the mental command.

[Calculating Recovery Time please hold for a moment…] he waited for a short moment while the blackhearted broken system are busy calculating the wait time.

[Calculated Recovery Time completed: 720 hours minimum are needed for the next void space travel- thank you for your patient.]

"One month...one fucking month in a radioactive wasteland...you gotta be fucking joking with me… what the hell am I supposed to do here? There's no purpose?!" Leonard lamented within his mind, he really had an urge to strangle whoever was behind the creation of the system- but he quickly removed that thought from his head as he remembered who was actually responsible for it creation.

"Almighty Being X- God, huh?" Leonard just let out a deep long sigh as he went back toward the corpse of the giant "Cerberus" that he had slain just an hour prior much to the confusion of the rest of the group.

"You might come handy later on in the future- so, rise! My …"pet"?..." he channeled the dark negative energy into the corpse of the mutated hound.
