My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

"Why am I not surprised? Almost all these buildings had been looted."

Justin came out of the building and shook his head.

This part of the street was extremely desolate with dry blood spilling on the cold hard road.

He inhaled deeply and thought. 'Could all the people living in this street turn into zombies.' He mused.

'Impossible.' He shook his head. 'Something is definitely not right.'

"I don't know how the others are compared to this." He thought out loud.

His objective was to look for resources and block every passage that may lead to their newfound shelter.

Nevertheless, he was still hoping to find a few survivors on the way. But his hope was shattered by the sudden turn of events.

He had already set the barricades a couple of meters back. But he decided to venture farther into the city.

The chilling wind assaulted his face and the squeak of animals echoed deep within the building and underground.

'Should I return?' He thought after not encountering a single living being since had ventured out.

Suddenly, his perception caught a strong tide of wind and a strong torrent of water.

'Hmm. There is water nearby.' He clicked his tongue and increased his pacing.

After walking for a couple of distances, he discovered the temperature was going lower than imagined.

He didn't need to be told that something powerful was living in the surrounding area.

But where?

Justin halted on his track and spread his perception to the limit. Everything in 300-meters was under his powerful sound perception.

After searching for a moment and didn't discover anything. He began to move forward while his guard was raised to the highest. He knew any slight mistake would mean his doom.

Thinking of the sea of bones in his dream. He shivered slightly and took a deep breath.

Suddenly, an attack came from Justin's left. He didn't know what it was but he was sure he didn't wanna find out. He jumped backward and his weapon appeared in front of him.

He turned and looked in the attack's direction.

Hmm!

At first, he didn't discover where the beast attacked him. But suddenly, a slight sound came from one of the buildings.

'What the hell is going on!?' He exclaimed deeply in his heart.

He had never encountered this situation before when he would discover the sources of the threat. But the slight sound was enough for him.

Swoosh!

He sends one of his rings toward the sound direction. Suddenly, the still building had an eye and it opened it, staring furiously at Justin.

What the hell?

Noticing the incoming threat the beast that camouflaged like the surrounding building struck its tail fiercely toward the ring.

Though he was dumbfounded by the beast's ability, he quickly recovered from his initial shock and increased the ring power.

Bang!

The deafening sound of the collision spread throughout the quiet street. The ring vibrated vehemently in the air while the beast crashed into the nearby building.

The expression on Justin's face changed. This was a powerful beast. Perhaps, the most powerful beast he had encountered so far.

This was no First Circle existence but a powerful Second Circle existence. Also, the beast's strange camouflaging ability makes it a fearsome threat.

The name of the beast appeared in Justin's mind.

'Fierce Cunning Chameleon'

He couldn't agree better when he saw the name of the beast. The deep blue eyes of the chameleon stared directly at Justin. The two beings didn't make a move but stared at each other.

As a Circle existence, they could both feel the surge of strength in each other's bodies. Both existences knew this was an inevitable fight.

The long tongue of the Cunning Chameleon came out of its mouth but didn't attack Justin. It moves its enormous body and posts itself directly in front of him.

On its four feet, it had a height of 4-meters and a length of 10-meters. At the far end of its tail was a sharp spike.

After what seems like forever, the two existences attack each other at the same time.

Justin didn't underestimate his target. Two circles appeared on his head. One big and one small. Its two rings hummed leaving a golden trail.

While the Cunning Chameleon deadly moves at breath-taking speed toward Justin's face.

Boom!

Both the ring and the tongue collided together and a cloud of dust raised in the sky. The cold hard road couldn't withstand the shock and a deep hole appeared on the road.

However, the two beings didn't seem to notice it. The Cunning chameleon sends a powerful sneak attack with his tail toward Justin unexpectedly.

Noticing the sneak attack from his perception, he calms himself and welcomes the attack with his second ring.

Boom!

Both Justin and the Cunning Chameleon took a couple of steps backward. But the Chameleon didn't let him when its tongue was realizing whistling toward him. The Fierce in its name was not for fun.

'It's good I have two rings. Else it would be a lot difficult to fight this battle.' He thought and sidestepped his attack by an inch and sent one of his rings toward the slight opening in the beast defense.

The Cunning Chameleon realized its blunder and quickly attacked Justin with its tail, trying to divert the threat. Yet, it made one mistake. He had two weapons.

And they are not ordinary weapons but Soul weapons. He only needs a single thought to control his weapon.

His weapon split into two. A ring whistled toward the beast's neck when the other intercepted its tail.

Boom!

The land trembled and the building behind the Fierce Cunning Chameleon was destroyed when it crashed into it. The beast cried in agony and grimaced in pain.

However, when it saw another incoming attack. It stopped crying in pain and disappeared. No, it camouflages the surroundings.

'The same trick won't work on me twice.' Justin smirked.

Without further ado, he took a deep breath and said slowly.

"Sound Annihilation."

The glow on his two circles shines brightly while his two weapons hummed in joy, leaving their mark in the air. Now, he was going all out to end the beast's life.

When the rings were only a couple of feet from the hidden Chameleon. Suddenly, a shriek of a hissing sound came from Justin's blind spot and darkness descended upon him.

Shit!

'I'm fucked!'

Bang!
