NOVEL NEXT Chapter 95: Elimination
Bewildered, and gasping for air, Quagmire, rummaged through his mind to remember what kind of ghoul have he had encountered earlier, alas he could not remember of such an encounter. Even when it was already far away, he could feel and hear its screams and anger through the depths of his soul, it was… Otherworldly.
It was his very first encounter of such creature, and thinking about that this is just a small part of the world, a small part of a region and a small part of an irrelevant corner in the world. His anxiety grew exponentially, his knees grew weaker, and he was about to collapse.
Suddenly, the warmth and images of the goddess that brought him to this world flashed through his mind; her immaculate grace blew through all his fears. With that, he was able to push through the limits of his mind and strengthen it further. Without a doubt, in the future, more problems will be encountered.
However, with faith and through her grace, he would prevail through all of them.
Now, overflowing with renewed conviction, he put forward the plan that he had made, and with a twist of the knee, he jumped and reached for the top with his right hand. He gripped the top with tightness as much as the anxiety he had felt earlier, seeking to remove all his worries with firm and strong movements.
With the right hand gripping the top, he swayed his body from left to right and then kicked the wall from his right side using his right foot. Now, with the moment he requires, he uses it to lunge to his left side and stretches his left hand to the top.
Once he grabbed the other side; he used the strength of his left hand to support the body, and let go of the right hand so that he could advance it much farther forward. With both hands deep on the other side, with the force of a mountain, he lifted his lower body with the strength of his core and upper body.
When he is up, and seeing rays of light from the moon, he pulled his legs upward and went over the chimney walls and into the other side, and once the other is over the wall, he was now sitting, and with a jump he landed at the rooftops.
Before jumping, he made sure that the place where he was landing would not make too much sounds. He landed silently, and with a quick turn from left to right, he made sure that there are no ghouls nearby.
Since he has been doing things in the dark for a few hours already, his eyes have adjusted pretty well to the darkness, and looking over the sky, the clouds have already passed through, and the moon is already high up in the air.
Which means the illumination coming from the moon is already well enough for his perfect twenty/twenty vision to be able to adjust well enough in the darkness that reigns over the night sky.
After confirming the surroundings and the adjustment of his eyes, he walked over the rooftops, and once he found a place he could safely used to get down, he walked over it and jumped from obstacle to obstacle.
In a few moments, he will have arrived at the ground. Thinking over his plan once again, there really was not anything that changed much. Except within the scope of his plans. That is the complete eradication of all ghouls. They are too much of a threat, something that are not allowed to exist. They must be purged no matter the cost, all for her sake, the goddess that brought him into this world.
Due to extended period of loneliness, and unable to socialize, Quagmire falls further into his beliefs. What entails for the future because of this remains to be seen.
With that, he would start with this fortress city, and that is by eliminating it from the face of the world. Using the improvised explosive device that he brought from the adjutant store, he would begin to place it at strategic parts of this city. To ensure the entire thing collapses, he bought the upgrade for the improvised explosive device. Turning it into Improvised Explosive Device Version Two, with increased firepower and range of damage.
His lips twirled into a menacing smile as he placed the first device at the place where he stepped down. Although the adjutant stated that items could only be used by him, technically, he is using it by placing it down, and having it detonated by himself.
This is one loophole that he had found. It seems like that he could take part directly in the battle to provide relief using his system as assistance without directly giving help.
Now with his plan in action, he would need to have the myriads of this world leave the city, and so he would need to communicate with them all the while placing the devices at strategic sites. Not only that, he would need to fight the ghouls and start to shave off their numbers so that when the final battle comes later, it would be much more manageable for him.
Glancing in each direction, he proceeded to go to places that he had not gone before. All the while placing bombs and hiding them away, as he could not let the ghouls get any idea whatsoever, he underestimated them numerous times, and he dearly paid the price, which he does not want to repeat as much as possible.
With that in mind, he breathe one large heave of air, and steadied his mind, always remembering and never forgetting the grace that he had received. Not only that, he needs to be strong, so that humanity will flourish in this damnable world.
With darkness all around him, he proceeded unimpeded in the world, occasionally encountering bumps and falling all the way, but it was nothing that he could not handle. Through grace and fate, the Goddess wills it.
