Chapter 177: Always a scavenger
BOOM!
Hex jumped in time but the collision of powerhouses caused tremendous shockwaves. The chaotic wind slammed into him, sending him flying tens of meters back.
He quickly jumped back to his feet, groaning at the sting felt in his side. But the sound of walls cracking around them indicated there was no time to take care of broken ribs. Indeed, he moved in time to avoid the shattered pieces of the walls around him.
He failed to escape the thick dust cloud wrapping around them despite being quick. He shut his eyes and held his hand over his nose. The dust still managed to enter his airways, impeding his breathing. Coughing incessantly, he waded through the rubble.
After exiting the dust, the visibility improved. An area with a radius of more than a hundred meters was cleared. The buildings disappeared. The ground was filled with rubble. He heard the weak shrieks of the creatures. Peering through the fog of dust, he noticed the creatures freeing themselves from under the broken pieces.
He hurriedly looked behind to check whether the humans made it out. His senses indicated that the number of humans remained the same, only, there were weaker fluctuations.
’That fat bastard took out many Fiends but there are fewer of us capable of fighting too.’
Although he cursed inwardly, he wasn’t worried too much. As long as he could limit the number of Fiends he had to face at once, he could kill them. The Disaster stage creature was the bigger worry.
’I can still sense both of them.’
Hex stared to the front where the Refined Knight speared the creature into the buildings.
"What’s the status?"
