Chapter 264 Meeting The Suspicious Humans

The easy task to clear the city turned into such a long and drained chase between me and those monsters. Those bastards kept running amok all over the place, finally attacking the central zone.

They seemed to act on the orders of their master. That bastard wanted to lure me to the central part, hoping to surround and entrap me.

Luckily I didn’t lower my guard towards this scheme. Yet that proved these humans were innocent of all the false charges I had in my mind.

Sigh! I was sure a big part of them was killed or injured during the past fight. As for now, they fought bravely against monsters, perfectly using the advantage of castles and emblems to their benefit.

It took roughly six hours to finally clear the entire city and its lakes. I used everything I got, even summoned more dragons and fallen gods to help.

From this battle alone, my gains in regard to souls was substantial. I never imagined that the number of monsters killed here would be in millions!

This looked insane! Yet when my boys brought the bodies out of the water, I realised that most of these were killed in the long aquatic fight down there.

The bodies piled to form massive mountains outside the city, giving a very dark and terrifying scene to anyone looking at it.

Yet I didn’t hurry to claim my gains. I first had to see what was going on in this central region of the city.

Humans surviving here wasn’t a joke. They must be some form of elites or something. Or might be traitors, who knew?

As I finished the fight, I took a short break of rest where I ate and drank, extending my body over the surface of my flying chariot for almost half an hour.

Then I moved towards this central zone, with tons of questions for the humans there to answer.

What was remarkable about the central zone was its emptiness of any lake. When I went there, I saw a large number of surviving humans, boys and girls, mostly in their early twenties.

“Who is the leader here?” I stopped my chariot just a hundred metre away. I kept it flying for almost twenty metres off the ground, giving a more intimidating feeling about myself.

“It’s us,” three youths stepped forward, two boys and one girl. From the first look I noticed they wore almost everything possible from gears.

“Come on board,” I said while throwing my rope, “use this to climb up here.”

“Are you afraid of us or what?” The girl spoke in a loud and confident tone.

“With these? Come on, be a little serious please,” I laughed while motioning my head behind, pointing at my scattered forces that were still gathering the killed bodies of aquatic monsters.

Girl… If I didn’t keep off them most of the time, you wouldn’t be even standing here acting this arrogant.

“Then we have to ask your word to ensure our safety,” one of the two boys, one with slightly darker skin, said.

“You are safe,” I simply promised, “as long as you aren’t my enemies.”

I had to state it clearly for them, for all of the humans down below. If there was any traitor here, then he would know about my way of doing things for sure.

If not, then this place would be his grave no doubt.

“Welcome on board,” I said in welcoming the three once they climbed up my chariot. I had to make things happen this way, to ensure my superiority and show my authority over them.

Humans were such a hard race to deal with. If you gave anyone a metre he would ask for a mile from you. So I had to show them how arrogant and cold I was, making them climb like they were worth nothing.

After all, the one to clear and claim this city was none other than me.

“This chariot… It looks amazing!” the yellow haired youth said while examining my chariot.

“It reminds me of the fairy princesses’ rides, like that of Cinderella,” the girl said.

“It gives me the vibe of Santa Clause,” the dark skinned youth said, reminding me of Leo when I first met him.

“First you’ll have to undergo a small test,” I took out one of my compasses before throwing it to the girl, “use your blood and throw it back to me.”

“What is this?” Unlike anything I expected or experienced before, this girl showed great interest in my compass.

“A tool to determine the allies from foes,” I didn’t hide the truth of this compass, “just use the blood of the one you wanted to test, and it tells you all about his intentions.”

“Is it for real?” the yellow haired white skinned youth said while jumping much closer from the girl.

“John, stay away from me, I already warned you many times before!” Yet the girl jumped to the side, stepping away from that youth called John.

“Come on Lilith, I don’t harbour any ill intentions towards you,” John tried to act innocent here but something told me he was lying.

“Humph, tell me about it,” Lilith rolled up her eyes before she took out a curved sword and pricked her skin with it.

“Here,” she threw the compass back and the compass showed she was clean.

Then the other two underwent the same test, all were clean.

The black skinned youth was called Will. he was the least speaking one among the three. The other two looked like any two lovers, fighting over the smallest things once they got the chance, pickering at each other at every possible corner.

“Now, tell me what happened here,” I asked once I made sure they were clean.

“What do you mean by that?” Will asked in an aggressive way that I totally ignored.

“Any place I visited after the start of the apocalypse had miserable stories for humans. But here…” I turned around, “you look so fine to me.”

“Disappointed?” Will asked again and I ignored him.
