Novel Bin Chapter 17 Massacre Of The Jumper
Wain used Lightning Lizard\'s Dash and turned into a lightning discharge. This way, he avoided being attacked by a mutated flea, which a second later landed on the spot where Wain had just been.
"Hey kids, what should we do? Run or fight?" Asked Wain, looking at Gisle, but he wasn\'t going to run away. He wanted to kill whoever dared to attack him.
Gisle looked at Wain in surprise, then gathered his thoughts and said confidently, "We now have thirteen people with superpowers. If we run away, it is unlikely that our cowardice will allow us to survive in this world."
The next moment his katana glowed brightly, and after a swing, the energy blade headed towards the flea. Gisle attacked immediately. He was not going to let this monster escape.
However, the flea quickly jumped, trying to crush the entire group of students at once. Wain and the others bounced to the side, bypassing the blow. But, one man didn\'t get far enough away, and the flea caught him.
"No!" Shouted Gisle. He tried to help him, but as soon as he took three steps, the flea grabbed the guy\'s body with its powerful jaws and then swallowed.
"Minus one," Wain muttered and waved his hand. A dark sword appeared beside him, and the weapon flew swiftly toward the monster.
The students were surprised. They each only had one skill, but Wain had two, as a minimum.
Wain looked at the students and said, "What are you standing around for? Everyone who can fight at long range attacks the flea with me. The rest of you defend us from the zombies. Come on, pace yourselves, or you\'ll be their lunch."
His words brought the students to their senses, and they did as Wain said. Four men stood beside him, each with some long-range attack. The most effective was the guy with the longbow. He had no active abilities, but his accuracy was comparable to that of a sniper.
The monster tried to dodge, but there were too many attacks. Most of them went nowhere, but the flea still took some pretty serious wounds. The monster had two options: run away or try to kill all the group members.
If the monster killed and ate thirteen people at once with Soul Altar activated, it would come close to a state to evolve.
So despite the great danger, the flea tried once more to attack the group of students. It jumped in their direction dodging all attacks.
The students quickly reacted and bounced aside, but someone stayed in place. It was Wain. His sword couldn\'t catch up to the flea when it was in flight, but he had a plan of his own.
Wain smirked and snapped his finger. Simultaneously, the Destruction Sword disintegrated into dark particles and disappeared, and then the sword appeared in Wain\'s hands.
The students looked at him with surprised eyes. In their opinion, Wain\'s actions were truly suicidal.
When the flea almost fell on Wain, electric shocks went through his body, and he turned into lightning.
Gisle watched Wain attack the flea and blinked. The next thing he saw was the insect\'s body torn apart, and Wain covered in blood from head to toe with a white soul in his hand.

Wain smiled and crushed the soul gaining Soul Essence.

\'Damn, I still haven\'t leveled up. It\'s getting harder and harder each time I do it. I need stronger opponents, or I\'ll be standing in one place for a long time yet.\' Thought Wain.
A girl with blond hair and amber eyes approached Wain. Her name was Rita Slain, and she had a soul with magical powers. She looked at him in surprise and asked, "Where did you get such power?"
All the other students were just as eager to hear the answer to this question. Wain raised his eyebrows as if in surprise and said, "You kids are asking too stupid questions. We each got our powers in the same pattern. I just killed more monsters."
All the while, they were being protected from the zombies by the second section of students. Some of them were armed with shields and heavy weapons.
Realizing that the danger had passed, Gisle said, "All talk later. We have an important mission. We need to get to the shop quickly and safely."
The other students nodded and moved on. Some of them were frightened because of the death of one of them, but others were calm and collected. They understood that death was inevitable in a world like this, and they had to do whatever it took to survive.
"Are you with us?" Asked Gisle looking at Wain.
Wain only nodded and walked forward. This group of students seemed like a good option for him to learn more about this world before the apocalypse and about this city.
He had to be aware of what was going on more than that. For that, it would be good to be in touch with powerful people who would soon have power.
\'Normally, when I needed some information, I would always turn to informants, but it was too early for such people to show up. The world needs to calm down a bit first and prepare itself for the challenges ahead.\' Wain thought as he walked with the students towards the marketplace.
Even in his world after the appearance of souls, several continents had appeared on the planet. Some people had tried to sneak into these places, but they had failed. The continents that appeared were inhabited by monsters too strong, and even the strongest humans died.
But, the planet Wain came to, called Restanta, was ten times larger than his home planet. Moreover, it was only a fraction, for the rest was hidden by a dark barrier that was gone after the apocalypse began.
\'I wonder if there are new continents on this world as well? If so, this world has become incredibly huge. It\'s several times bigger than my planet, plus the dark barrier and plus the continents. It\'s unbelievable.\' Wain thought with a wave of his hand.
The Destruction Sword flew around him, destroying many zombies nearby. A large number of souls were constantly flying into his body, and Wain felt like he was about to go to the next level.
"What\'s your name?" Rita asked. She looked at Wain often. Rita was under a great impression of his strength.
"Wain Norheim."
"Why do souls fly into your body themselves?" Rita asked another question.
Wain sighed and said, "It\'s an effect of one of my passive skills. Girl, you ask too many questions. Don\'t annoy me."
Wain\'s last words were harsh and cold. Rita nodded and swallowed in fear.
"How much further do we have to go?" Wain asked Gisle.
Gisle killed another zombie and calmly replied, "Not much longer, about three minutes. You\'re not from around here?"
Wain grinned and said, "I came from far away and wanted a break from the hustle and bustle of the city. But, all of a sudden, I\'m in the middle of nowhere. However, I\'m not surprised. Life always has surprises."
Gisle nodded.
Thus, Wain saw a massive, red building on the next street in a couple of minutes. It was one of the largest and most popular shop in Overion.
No one was injured the entire way, even though zombies attacked them from time to time. Their group was not attacked by a whole horde of zombies, for only twenty of them.
The monsters were interested in them, but most of the zombies and mutated insects were headed in the direction of the densely populated areas where people were hiding.
"Okay, let\'s go, take only the essentials. Grut, how much can you carry?" Gisle turned to a guy with a large build and a large shield in his hand.
Grut scratched his head and said, "Seventy kilos for sure, but if you need anything else I\'ll try my best here."
Despite his appearance, Grut was a rather shy man. He spoke rather quietly and had to get close enough to hear everything.
Gisle nodded and said, "Fine, then go ahead."
