Picking Up Beautiful Girls In The Post-Apocalyptic World!-Chapter 269
Quinthreath looked Ai in the eye and finally asked her what happened. He didn’t need to know who injured her. It was obvious.
“We were ambushed during the day. I got a message from Troy that he wanted to talk about a possible alliance. He was talking about that new king that came to the Temple. His name is King Han, isn’t it? Troy wants to go and get rid of Han on floor fifty-seven and he said that in exchange for that, the Celestials would give us entrance to the Celestial plane. I didn’t believe him and he told me nothing was stopping him from taking my kingdom if I refused him. The next day, we were attacked before we could even finish preparing our defenses! It was planned from the start! He already decided to attack me since he thinks the Celestials would bail him out of any problem! He is completely ignoring the agreement between all the kings – Ugh!”
Ai held onto her stomach again as she felt pain there! She had to take it easy for a while or she won’t be able to fight! If her soldiers see her like this, then their morale will drop right to the ground! I can’t be weak no matter what! The only reason I even called Quinthreath was that I knew he would be able to lead my soldiers for a while so I can heal. He can help me now that he is here!
Quinthreath heard everything that Ai said and couldn’t stop the shocked expression on his face from showing! Someone was ignoring the agreement between the kings just because of that stupid reason!? Troy is only number seven in the temple! Even the number four wouldn’t try to do something like this! We all know how dangerous it is to start messing with the hierarchy in the temple! If there is no order, then nobody is going to know what to do. Don’t they remember how things were one thousand years ago before we signed that agreement!? There was only chaos and everyone was only trying to kill the others to get higher in the ranking!
Ai could see the anger in Quinthreath’s face and she understood why he was angry. She was also there when they all signed the agreement and she thought everyone would respect it, but it doesn’t look like Troy cared anymore. He is getting desperate to go to the Celestial plane and is now starting to go against the contract!
“I called you because I know I cannot fight him alone. I need your help since I only managed to push him back and escape for a few moments. Even if it is only for a short time for my healing skill to work properly and then I can fight him at night, just an hour would be enough for me. I don’t want my soldiers to go out there without a black Star leading them. Just help me hold him off for a short time”
Quinthreath knew that this isn’t a small request. Ai is stronger than him. For her to ask him to lead her army just shows how desperate she is. She must’ve had a bad fight because Troy attacked during the day and that is why she lost this badly. If she fights him during the night, then she is the one that will have the upper hand.
But Quinthreath also knows that he can’t fight Troy on equal footing during the day or the night. It doesn’t matter what he does, he would still lose to that man! He is a monster that Quinthreath has no chance against!
But then something else came to Quinthreath as he thought back to what Ai said. Troy was going to the fifty-seventh floor to get Han. How did Troy even know that Han was on floor fifty-seven!? Didn’t Han make sure that none of the kings knew where he was going!? He even told me to keep this a secret from Ai! Why would Troy know that Han went to meet Freya? But then Quinthreath had a strange thought! Is Freya also a part of this!?
No wonder she has been acting weird lately! She also plans to capture Han! ƒ𝘳ee𝔀e𝚋n૦𝐯el.c𝗼𝓂
Quinthreath didn’t have any means of contacting Han. Han never told him about the ability to talk through the Shadow Hunters and so Quinthreath started to wonder if he should go back and warn Han! This floor is important, but Han is my King. I can’t let them just kill him since I am his ally.
Doon!!
Quinthreath and Ai both turned around as they suddenly felt a heavy bloodlust! This is King Troy!? How is he here already!? Ai immediately moved out from her there. She was only wearing trousers and the bandage around her chest but she didn’t even care! She only had to make sure that her territory was okay!
What she saw outside there was the heavily armored King Troy floating in the sky and facing off against many Shadow Hunters! Quinthreath saw that the Shadow Hunters were trying their best to hold back the black Star, but even if they were immortal soldiers they weren’t even close to Troy’s level! Troy didn’t even have to use ten percent of his power as he bashed them to the side one after the other!
Troy was laughing with a wide smile on his face as he threw the Shadow Hunters around! He couldn’t believe these toys thought they could take him on! Who made these things!? He wanted to meet that person and show them just how much of a difference there is between their powers!
Troy looked down towards the mountain where Ai and Quinthreath were standing and his smile widened when he saw Quinthreath. This must be the one who made these soldiers! He is a mage so his MP must be very high for him to keep bringing these things back to life over and over like this!
Troy thought it was good that Quinthreath was here. At least Freya could poison King Han without any sort of issue. If I take a few minutes here to just take care of these two, then I can go and help Freya then things should still be fine! There is no way that greenhorn will be able to beat Freya in a game of betrayal. I know she is one of the best at making people let down their guard!
Troy laughed again as he shouted out to Quinthreath!
“Do you think these toys can stop me!? You came here just to die together with that silly girl! Come up here by yourself if you think you can take me on!”
Quinthreath gritted his teeth, but he didn’t dare move! He could feel Troy’s Bloodlust and it was already suppressing him from up there! If he went closer, then he wouldn’t even last for a minute! Quinthreath and Ai were number eleven and number nine on the ranking. What sort of chance did they have against someone who was number seven!?
Ai touched Quinthreath on the shoulder and pointed to the large army flying behind Troy. There were hundreds of thousands! It looked like he brought his entire legion here just for Han! Did this man really want to break the agreement that badly!! It will only lead to bad things!
Troy stretched his hand out towards the two of them! He just needed one shot of his high-power skill and he can erase them! Ai is too weak to dodge it and Quinthreath is not going to survive anyway! Even if he is a mage, he knows that a hundred percent of his power isn’t even half of mine!
Then a great feeling of power suddenly spread across the area and everyone suddenly stopped as the greater power filled the floor! Quinthreath was completely shocked! He knew this feeling! He once faced it directly and he lost to it! But it was never this strong! How is it possible for Han to become this strong in that short time!?
Ai was also shocked by the feeling, but she was looking at something else instead. The rankings had changed again. The place where Han used to be now had another name there and Han moved even higher to number six!!
6. Han Luo (Mage) – Overlord
.
8. Troy (Tank) – The Immovable
9. Ai (Nightwalker) – Dark Horse
10. Quinthreath (Mage) – Lord of The Rings 𝒇𝙧𝚎𝐞𝙬𝒆𝑏𝑛𝑜v𝚎𝒍.c𝑜m
Everyone was shocked! Han jumped from number eight to number six!? That kind of increase is impossible! Even if he killed all the people below rank seven, he shouldn’t be able to move that high in just that short time! For the chosen, killing another chosen will only give them a smaller amount of EXP. For example, if a gold Star killed another gold Star, the EXP they will get will only be about 1/5 of what the gold Star they killed had. They will also get one or two high-level skills from the dead gold Star! This is all they will get!
But they have no idea the cheat that Han had! Is [Devour] a joke to you!? Is [×10] a joke to you!? Han will take it all and multiply it tenfold! So for them they were seeing something impossible! This man just came to the top floors last month and now he is number six!? He even pushed Troy down to eight!
