'I'm Back to level 1? What kind of joke is this? And what is soul absorption, factory and whatever is this?' said Alex to himself.

Reaper aimed her weapon towards the distance. 

"Heyyy we have guests~" she said while focusing her gaze through her scope. through it, she saw several dog-like figures were seen walking leisurely towards them from behind the rubble. some of them have many tentacles growing from the back of their heads, those tentacles seemed to squirm as if it had a mind of its own. Their bodies were so large that it made Reaper feel like he was a rat being stalked by predatory dogs just by being stared at by them.

The creature roared loudly before running towards them at high speed.

Reaper pulled the trigger after aiming at the target she chose among the creatures. The weapon she uses is a sniper rifle which looks very futuristic with a triangular muzzle tip, But it wasn't a physical bullet that was fired, but a bright red laser beam that immediately illuminated the area around the muzzle of the weapon upon firing.

But unfortunately, her shot missed and only flew next to the head of one of the creatures without hitting anything.

Reaper seemed a little surprised but continued firing a few more times. This time, some of the shots managed to hit the creature's leg or head, making the creature that was hit fall to the ground and crash into another creature that was running beside it, creating a small stampede in the middle of the hordes that was running fast on the rocky plain between the blackened pillars.

"Alex! Reapers! hordes of Hunters are heading this way!"

said Reaper as she continued firing.

"Let's worry about that after this."

said Alex while resting Rose, who was still unconscious, in a place that he considered safe. Alex tried to pull the weapon attached to his back before remembering that his weapon had also been damaged by the impact. With a sigh, he pulled a small pistol from his waist.

"Ghost, where are you?" Alex asked through their communication device.

"look ahead of you"

Alex turned his gaze back to the hordes, and sure enough he saw several Hunters who had just fallen after wounds suddenly appearing on their bodies. The other Hunters looked confused and began to pay closer attention to their surroundings as they continued to run.

"Tch, for some reason my body feels heavy, attacking them like this feels very difficult and tiring." Ghost grumbled.

One of the Hunters stopped running and planted one of his feet on the head of another Hunter who had just fallen with a hole in his forehead that was still emitting hot air. It was The Hunter that had many tentacles behind its head. While roaring loudly, it whipped out its tentacles, shooting out bone spurs like a bullet.

Reaper immediately stopped shooting and lay down ASAP after taking cover behind a large rock. right after, She saw the bone spurs easily shot through the rock, as if the rock was just tofu and not a solid rock.
