Last entrance trial (2)

Cayden was surprised to hear different explosions.

At first, everyone thought it was fireworks. But there was no colorful display in the sky. It was just building exploding one after another.

Seeing this Cayden's face immediately changed.

He pulled Pete and ran straight to the nearby building. Being outside at this moment is dangerous. Those things will be released.

Indeed, a few seconds after the explosion. A series of booms erupted in different spots of the city square. Gray smoke filled the whole area. Before the people in the city square could collect themselves and get used to the grey smoke, a long scaly tentacle attacked them.

No one saw it coming. It suddenly appeared behind their backs and clamp on their throats.

The woman who was caught by this tentacle screamed. But a split second later, a disgusting shlick! followed, completely cutting off the woman's scream.

Her body then tumbled to the ground with a loud thud. Her head rolled next to it. Her blood pooled down from her decapitated neck. The middle aged man who saw this screamed and attempted to run, but as if the tentacles have eyes behind its back, it zoned in on him and clamp on his throat.

The people who just appeared in the city square scattered immediately. Cayden was still holding Pete's hand as he led him inside the building. There are also some people who thought of this and is running ahead of them.

There were three group of men who first entered the building and opened the double doors. They poured in immediately and urged the others to come in. But the others stopped abruptly when they see what's standing behind the three.

"What's the matter with ya lot?! Hurry up!" One of them urged. The people who stopped was too stunned to speak. Before one of them can open their mouth, the mutated monster inside had already caught the three men.

The mutated monster opened its horrible gaping mouth and swallowed the man in the middle.

"Nooo!!! Let me gooo!!!"

"Heeelp!!!!"

The two men who were caught screamed at the top of their lungs. The ruckus they are making completely attracted the monster with tentacles. Not before long, the people who was standing stiffly at the entrance was killed one by one.

Cayden gritted his teeth. They are surrounded. The alien monster was attracted to the sound and immediately came here to catch its prey. In the meantime, the human mutated monster also waited for its prey to come inside its trap before pouncing.

Cayden glanced around but found out the exit are blocked by the alien monster.

The people who came rushing in front are rapidly depleting in number.

Cayden pulled Pete to the corner and vigilantly listen to the sound. The screams of humans was horrible and can make one's skin stand up. Pete at his side was clearly agitated. Not due to fear but due to crisis.

Pete tried to get out of Cayden's grasp and dashed straight to the alien monster's tentacle that had been slithering in the air, searching for human prey. But Cayden repeatedly pulled him back.

"It's not the right time yet."

Cayden had no plans to play the 'saint' and save players from imminent danger. Not when he was not even sure he can protect Pete. But he plans to eliminate the alien monster and mutated monster present in this area.

Since most of the players had either run or hide, it was obvious the only humans alive in this particular area is Pete and him. Cayden steadied his breath. Signaled Pete to not make a sound and listen to the scratches and heavy footsteps heading this way. Because of the grey smoke, Pete and Cayden was able to hide their appearance from the monsters. But this is also disadvantageous to them since they can't see the enemy either.

Cayden had to rely on his heightened senses.

Three alien monsters are five meters away from them to the left. On the right, right where the entrance of the building is, that mutated monster was joined by one of its companions. And these two seemed to walk backward as if heading inside.

The moment the alien monster's tentacle sweep past them, Pete reached out and caught the tentacle using his bare hands. Cayden reacted immediately and stab the tentacle with the [Endless] blade.

The [Ghost Fire] activated on its own, clearing the gray smoke surrounding them and revealed not three but five alien monsters.

The other two are too small and have climbed the shoulders of the other two hence Cayden could not hear them. The [Ghost Fire] is an S- Class skill that cannot go out once lit.

The alien monster that was overwhelmed with fire struggled and thrash around. But it only caused the [Ghost Fire] to strongly burned down its body.

The other four alien monsters noticed Cayden and Pete and immediately pounced on them.

Pete stood in front of Cayden, his broad shoulders cracking the joints on his bones. Cayden frowned at Pete.

"Hey, what are you trying to do?"

Pete did not answer. He immediately rushed straight to the biggest one and grab its tentacles. Unfortunately, one alien monster has ten tentacles and these tentacles completely wrapped around Pete's arms, legs and torso. Squeezing him so tightly that Pete wasn't able to breath.

"Pete!"

Shit. Now he's caught.

Pete turned in his direction, then grinned widely. In his front teeth, there are two sharp fangs that belong to the giant snake of the Alpha Snake Beast's pet.

Cayden was dumbfounded.

The fuck? He has fangs now?!

Pete's surprise did not end there. Pete turned to the nearest tentacle that imprisoned him and sunk his two sharp fangs on it.

The alien monster screeched horribly and writhed in pain. The poison on Pete's fangs immediately rushed from the tentacle up to the alien monster's body.

Cayden used this moment to take out one of the alien monster while it was still distracted.
