Chapter 57: Plague

Amon was serious from the start. Although not strong, the yellow dogs were numerous.

Lightning streamed from his body as he ran at speed fast enough to stun the three-foot-long yellow dogs.

Amon's feet did not touch the ground as he moved, and instead, the lightning struck the ground and served as a springboard; it made his movement smoother and faster, extremely fast!

*Whoosh!* *Whoosh!* *Whoosh!*

Quick, precise punches hit the yellow dogs' heads.

Because of the strength and speed, their bodies shot into the distance.

"Ouch..." Maisa closed her eyes for a second, feeling pain for the dogs.

A yellow dog slamed hard into a tree, along with the sound of the backbone breaking, the dog turned into an inverted U-shape.

Meanwhile, the other dogs surrounded Amon and barked non-stop, which was very annoying! But, not intimidating, so Amon continued to attack.

Maisa, Julia, Barbara, and Ariel didn't just watch, and they soon started attacking as well.

A jet of water formed in Maisa's hand, and she attacked a dog that was barking. The jet of water caught inside the dog's mouth, making it choke, then Maisa approaches and attacks, giving a hook from top to bottom.

*Bang!*

The dog's head hit the ground with its jaw and came back.

Wasting no time, Maisa gave a flying kick to another yellow dog that was running towards her, catching the dog in the jump, she calculated precisely where the yellow dog was going to fall and made it collide with another dog.

After that, she stopped and looked at Ariel...

She was going to make a "V" sign, but her pride was shattered when she saw what Ariel was doing.

With her psychic powers, Ariel made several dogs float, making them hit each other with their heads; then, with their blood flowing, she used the dogs as cannon fodder and threw them at other dogs. She defeated more than five dogs in a matter of seconds.

Even when she looked at Barbara, she felt despondent. Barbara attacked with blue flames, and they were more violent and more aggressive than the water she released. It was practically certain death when her attack hit a yellow dog.

"…" Clenching her fists, she said firmly in her mind; 'I won't lose!'

With that, she didn't waste time looking at her sister, who had almost the same strength as her. Instead, she started attacking the nearest yellow dogs.

Amon seeing the girls' performance, nodded in satisfaction like a proud 'father'. After all, before training with him, they weren't that strong, mainly Barbara, Maisa, and Julia.

The performance of Amon's group was on the rise. Many chose to watch, knowing they were fighting a group of high-level dogs. Meanwhile, the other groups didn't even dare fight those with more than five animals together since they thought it was more viable to find a way to separate the group than to attack them all at once.

At first, many thought Amon's group was reckless, although geniuses, it was too risky to fight several at once, but, as they watched, their eyes widened further.

"Wow, they are amazing. Mainly the boy." Someone muttered.

"That's true, but we shouldn't belittle these girls." Another commented.

"That's true. These girls are even stronger than the geniuses at my school." A teacher from another school sighed because they weren't a student at his school; it was quite envious to see so many geniuses in the same school.

"..."

The teachers, principals, and deputy principals at these prestigious schools were silent, as he was not wrong. By their calculations, the top 20 was guaranteed. Not to mention that there is a great chance that the boy will get to the finals...

"Looks like the finals aren't going to be between Del and Gabriel." Someone muttered.

Those words caused an awkward silence again.

North of Amon's location.

A monster, yes, not an animal, but, a monster appeared. It was cruel, far crueler than wild animals.

A group had the misfortune to come across it.

"Ahhhhhhhh!"

A scream echoed in the forest.

Stuck around the neck of a teenager between 17 and 18 years old was a hideous monster, with a head bigger than a basketball, no more than 130 cm high, and a swollen belly that looked like a pregnant woman's belly. The monster had gray red skin and eyes that were obsidian black. It looked uglier than an ET you could only see in movies.

From a tree, this monster jumped, then bit the boy's neck and began to suck all of his genes.

Although only one of the weakest, this one was a 'plague'.

Plagues are the living beings that human beings fear most.

They steal all genetic power and grow stronger; in that sense they are similar to a vampire. But, instead of sucking blood, plagues steal genetics, thus killing the victim and getting stronger very quickly. The evolution of Plagues is very fast, and when finding a Plague, it is recommended to kill it as quickly as possible if you are able or flee as far away as possible. It was all to the extreme.

"Run!"

After leaving their stupor, the group leader did not want to fight, much less wait to see if their ally could still be saved.

One girl fell to the ground, she was terrified, although she only heard reports about the plagues, as the plagues had been without action against humans for nearly a millennium.

Those who saw this were so scared when the group was being attacked. It was not a good sign that a plague would appear on this planet. What if there are others?

That thought made them shiver.

"I'm going there." Someone volunteers, "I can't see this thing kill my student and do nothing. Besides, we can't let this thing evolve!"

"Kaisen, I'm going with you." One woman said. She was the deputy principal of the school, Nossa Senhora de Fatima, she saw that her students were not far away. It would be too risky to let this plague live, as it could very well make her students the next victim.

"Thanks." Kaisen thanked her, then he left, running very fast, disappearing from the spot.
