Plundering in the Apocalypse

'What are these crazy people talking about?' thought Jenny as she eyed the group of people in front of her.

'We have barely survived until now and these crazy people are going out of their way to hunt monsters and enjoying it like a family picnic.'

'Should I trust them or not. Well, they did save me. But they are crazy.'

'Ughh, I'm getting a headache here.'

Jenny was in a dilemma. But seeing James' situation. She took the risk of trusting them.

She calmed herself down and said.

"Please help us. James' condition is not good." As she said that all her bravery faded and she started crying. She just wanted James to be fine.

Jenny removed the barrier. Everyone got to see James' condition. He had a big scar on his chest. He bled a lot.

'The bleeding needs to be stopped or else he will die.' Thought Shin.

"Reina." (Alfred)

"Alice." (Shin)

Shin and Alfred both looked at Alice and Reina respectively and said in a gentle tone.

Both Reina and Alice were surprised but they nodded.

Reina hurriedly opened her backpack and took out a first aid kit. Now Shin understood what she kept inside. She must have thought of helping in case of finding any survivor. His mother is a nice person.

Reina was about to use first aid to help with the bleeding. But she knew this won't help much. The wound is too big. At that moment she saw Alice's actions and stood there stupified.

Alice after hearing Shin's call understood what he meant. She summoned her <Soul Grimorie> as a black and white covered book floated above her hand.

Suddenly a white humanoid figure came out of the book and stood near Alice. Alfred and Reina couldn't move their eyes from this heavenly scene.

The white figure walked towards James. Then suddenly a golden green light fell on his chest and his wound started closing in.

Jenny who saw this miracle happening in front of her looked at the white figure radiating, Holy aura. Then her eyes turned to the person who summoned such a being.

Beautiful blue eyes shining with illuminance. Her every smile was heartwarming, and her every movement was elegant and full of grace. The beauty Alice stood there shining while using her skill.

"An angel. No, she is a goddess." Jeeny felt that the girl in front of her wasn't human but a goddess in human disguise.

Only if Jenny saw her dark side and Alice already has been called the goddess of death. A reaper, demon, etc.

Well not that it matters. Alice is a good girl after all.

Reina and Alfred just stood there frozen in shock.

After some time the wound closed but there was still a scar left. The white figure(Mia) went back inside her book after using her healing magic and Alice deactivated the summon.

Alfred just thought of one thing.

'What even is the need for first aid if things like this are possible." He shook his head.

But he still can't get over the heavenly scene. He looked at Alice then his eyes turned to Shin.

'Don't tell me. 'His girlfriend is an angel.' We'll Alice is a nice and kindhearted girl. So it might even be true. Then the bigger question. How is such a nice girl my introverted loner son's girlfriend?'

No matter how much he thought about it he couldn't solve this mystery.

Alfred just rubbed his chin and gave up on thinking.

'Maybe he just saved a million people in his past life.'

Reina looked at the first aid box and sighed.

*Haah*

'Well, it can be used to bandage him.'

Reina tapped on Jenny's shoulder who looked like she was in a dreamland. Jenny snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Reina.

Reina pointed at the bandages. Jenny understood as she nodded her head.

She went forward and wrapped it around James' chest. Shin and Alfred helped her to it.

After that. Alfred and Shin helped them carry James over to the nearby furniture shop and placed him on a bed.

They all took a seat inside that shop.

"Let's leave to rest a little," said Alfred as he looked at James.

Jenny nodded at his words.

"Would you explain to us what happened here?" Reina asked Jenny in a soft voice.

At that question, Jenny's face turned grim.

Reina sighed. She kinda understands that it might have been terrifying for her. So she waited patiently for Jenny to say something.

Everyone waited patiently for Jenny to calm down and explain at her own pace.

Jenny started telling us how everything happened.

"Yesterday me and my James came to this Mall for shopping. It was the weekend so we also wanted to enjoy our time. But that afternoon. Suddenly a large number of monsters started coming in and killing people."

"We were too afraid and got caught up in the chaos. As all the exits were blocked we were also pushed back by the people to the upper floors."

"Many people managed to escape. But many died in the process."

"That chaos continued for hours but after that many people started doing weird things. We weren't able to understand what was happening."

"They used fire, Ice, wind, etc. Some suddenly got stronger. Few we're even able to create weapons out of nowhere. One of them turned invisible and escaped."

"People started gaining different abilities. But they weren't the only ones. We also got our abilities."

"We saw a green screen floating in front of our eyes."

"I got the ability 'Barrier master' and James got the ability 'Golem master'."

'Green screen huh. What's the meaning of different colors?' Shin thought to himself at Jenny's words.

Shin knew Jenny was telling the truth. When he used his Appraisal. It said.

[Jenny Felbert]

[Level - 3]

[Age - 28]

[Special ability - Barrier Master(A)]

[Trait - Loves her husband dearly, Thankful, Relieved.]

Shin stopped reading further when he heard Jenny continue.

"I was able to set up a protective barrier and create a magical shield in thin air and James was able to shoot sharp stones out of his hands.

That was when we understood what had happened.

We had Awakened."
