Chapter 72

People start to run, and Sam starts blending in with them. He clutches his fists tightly, trying to suppress the anxiety he has for the girls inside his heart.

He has to understand the situation before doing anything. Running into a building nearby to find covers, Sam tries to find the best place to keep an eye on the situation. Luckily for him, this world has transparent windows, so he can actually see what is going on.

Sam recalls all that has happened until now.

First, the strange guy changed the woman whom he ate into a similar state, then they both attacked L'ren, converting him to something similar as well. If the same thing keeps on happening, then the authority figures in dark blue uniforms will probably be altered.

As of right now, they are hiding in their car, seemingly calling for backup after killing the strange woman and man. Sam can see their bodies beginning to change as they twitch.

Second, the strange people can only be killed if their heads are totally destroyed. Even damaging them will not work as they feel no pain whatsoever. L'ren has demonstrated this very clearly with his life as a price.

Third, they crave the flesh of the living. Once they have done it to another individual, that being will be changed. It is unknown if there is anything to reverse the effect at this time.

"Kyaaaaa! Zombies!! They are like zombies in movies!!" Someone screams.

"The policemen are infected already!!!"

"Run!!! Run now!!"

The crowd runs away in the chaos, trying to leave the horrifying scene. No longer do they want to be near such horror.

So these things are called zombies. Sam thinks to himself, and those guys firing their weapons at the zombies are police officers.

"GRAAAAAAAH!!!"

One thing captures the attention of Sam. On the fists of L'ren, lava is still moving.

This is probably the most important. They have total control of their bodies. The zombies look like they can use magic if they have used it before.

Grunting hard, L'ren jumps towards one side further away from Sam with fire on his legs like a propeller.

"Gaaaahh!!! AHHHHHHHH!!!!" A woman cries out, the lava on L'ren fists is burning through her skin. There is even no blood since the heat just scorches everything almost instantly.

In less than 10 seconds, the woman is cut in half, effectively killing her.

Seeing his prey being lifeless, L'ren looks at his fists and withdraws his magic. Right after that, the fire under his legs once again appears, firing him to another prey.

"LET ME GO!! LET ME GO!" Again, a woman.

Sam is confused. Why is this guy targeting only women?

The next thing shows him why.

L'ren grabs the woman using an arm that has veins popping up. He uses the other arm to tear his pants off suddenly, revealing a rock-hard state of his member. Right after that, the woman starts crying, begging him to let her go. Of course, he is not going to do that. His crazy face shows a horrible grin. Saliva runs down the corners of his mouth.

She starts kicking, hitting him, all does not affect L'ren.

*Riiiiiip*

L'ren tears the dress that the woman is wearing, and also her panties.

"NO!! PLEASE!!! ANYTHING BUT THAT!!!" She cries in horror, knowing what is going to happen. Desperate, the woman starts to bite L'ren. Still, no effect.

"GRAAAAAAAH!!" *Crunch*

L'ren growls like a monster and forces his penis inside of her while biting down her neck. Blood flows out, drenching her naked body, both the neck and down her lower abdomen.

"GYAAAAAAAAAAaaaaa!!!" She can only wail in terror. The difference in physical abilities makes it impossible for her to run or fight back.

Hearing the heart-wrenching screams, some people although scared to their cores, try to stop L'ren by throwing things at him.

To which, he does not reply and keeps on indulging in the carnal pleasures.

Sam can see the skin of the woman changing with each thrust until it turns into a pale purple, the same color as L'ren.

*Shudder*

L'ren cums inside of the woman and puts her down, jumping to his next target. She has been altered a hundred percent, ready to attack someone else.

Nycta. Sam calls her in his head. Do not let the zombies touch you.

"Yes, Sam. I got it!" He can the seriousness in her voice.

How are you doing? Can we get ahold of the others? He asks.

"I've been able to find a participant and take their vision. Running towards you now. The others in the meantime are still normal. I can sense their heartbeats although pretty fast but not worrisome."

Thank the Goddess. He breaths out. How can we meet up?

"Head to the northeast, Sam. My location is there."

Got it. Be safe. He tells her.

"Of course, Sammy."

L'ren has taken another woman as his prey, doing the same thing he just did.

Sam frowns upon seeing the act. He does not care if the lives of people are being taken since Selection always needs sacrifices. Still, is this a Selection of the Goddess of Love is supposed to be? Because what he is seeing is completely devoid of any love. Thinking about what may happen if the girls are under attack, Sam feels rage building up in his head.

Nevertheless, Sam needs to go. He is not in a position to judge the Goddess.

The pandemonium on the streets is still happening. More and more people are turning into zombies. If he does not hurry up, soon the streets will be filled with those things and he can not reach his girls anymore.

Sam runs out of the building and immediately heads northeast. On the way, he can see a girl with different colors of hair and eyes that he thinks are participants like him. They are a green color.

The woman who was converted by L'ren unexpectedly let go of her prey. Turning her head towards Sam, she is now running in his direction. Sooner or later, she will be facing the magic-user. And at the back, L'ren is still doing his best to catch more women.

For some reason, the zombie woman is ignoring all the others, only focusing on him and those he thinks are participants.

Why? Does she know we are Apostle candidates? He asks himself that.

The girl starts to form an Ice Lance in her hands and throws it at the charging zombie confidently. She thinks it would be enough as it pierces through the naked body of the woman and pins her into a wall.

Sam keeps on moving but pays attention to it. He would like to know how this person handles the case.

The zombie woman grunts hard and tries to pull the Ice Lance off of her body but it does not work.

"Stop it. You can not pull it out. Eh? What the fuck?" Sam hears that magic-user says.

Instantly, he turns around and sees an unimaginable thing.

Her fists have lava flowing around them. The amount is nothing compared to L'ren, but it most definitely is true, she can use a little bit of magic.

The woman holds the Ice Lance, burning through the front of it rather than pulling it out. With lava on her hands, it is pretty easy to melt.

"Damn this thing!" The girl shouts. "A normal person would have died being impaled like that!"

She conjures up another Ice Lance, cutting down one of her arms. There is hardly any blood coming through the wounds.

At the same time, three more converted women have appeared near this scene. 2 are charging at the green-haired girl, 1 is charging at Sam at a ridiculous speed compared to a normal person.

"Fuck this shit! I'm out!!" The green-haired girl starts running away.

Just as she decides to leave, the women aiming for her and Sam jump into the air. Their feet appear to have fire coming out like a propeller similar to L'ren.

"Aim for their heads! Destroy it completely!" Sam yells. It is not because he likes her or has any kind of romantic feelings towards her, per se. He simply does not want to have a crazy zombie that can also use magic right next to him like this.

Sam throws a Fire Bomb in the face of the one charging at him. It explodes immediately, causing charred flesh and bone to drop down the earth.

With no time to think, the green-haired girl does what Sam just told her to. She hurls two Ice Lance in the air. However, only one manages to decapitate the enemy, while another one only grazes through its body, still aiming for her.

"Eeeek!!" The girl yells in terror and closes her eyes.

"Goddess!"

Seeing that, on Sam's hands, one more Fire Bomb manifest.

*Whoosh boom* *Thud*

One more headless charred body hits the ground.
