Overwhelmingly strong.
That was Carole’s only thought as Aleph escorted her outside. The dozens of bodies piled on the ground was the direct testament on how he mao save her.
The undeads only o bite someoo turn them into fellow undeads. The iio st ten minutes due to the influence of honkai energy.
Although only an hour or so had passed, their apartment block was extremely unlucky. Dozens of undeads broke out when they gathered together. Only a few people, including Carole, remained in their apartment units.
“You’re finally here!”
“M’s go down.”
Apart from Carole, there were three more people who were lucky to e across Aleph’s killing spree. Two of them were girls the same age as Carole while the st one was a male college student.
Seeing this quiet yet reserved atmosphere, Aleph could only sigh internally. The plex humaions and whatnot caused them to be reserved. Nobody wao behave badly in front of someone who could kill through dozens of undeads. It wasn’t fear, but more of a respect.
“Mister, how is Hua?”
“She’s fine. She was about to e here on her own, you knoh replied. “I told her that I’d take over this one.”
Tap-!
Tap-!
Rumble-!
Their versation was interrupted as the floor shook. They were already on the first floor.
Boom-!
A rge silhouette broke a portion of the apartment. It colpsed on half of the apartment. As the cloud of dust was kicked up, Aleph promptly covered his eyes. The fragments of stones didn’t harm his arms, though some gss fragments that flew at a fast pace did.
Fortunately, they were only the ohat he couldn’t dodge—rather, he couldn’t move away from the civilians behind him.
“That is..!”
The moment a portion of the dust cleared up, Aleph saw the thing that crashed into the building. It was a humanoid honkai beast around five storeys tall. Its right arm was missing. Purple blood dripped from the missing portion.
It was extremely huge to the point that its entire waist ated for the entire width of the apartment. Its upper torso crashed into the other building behind the apartment plex.
“Go! Run outside!”
His words promptly woke up the four people. Three of them didn’t hesitate to rush to the exit. Only Carole didn’t follow his words.
“What about you?”
“I’ll deal with it.”
“You will what?!”
Aleph tightehe grip to his greatsword.
‘It’s already down an arm.’
As he thought of it, ratio lines began appearing on its legs. Si was lying down, its width was no more than two meters tall.
‘Its iate was caused by god knows how many artillery strikes. Even missile strikes aren’t impossible.’
Its right arm was missing, and that missing portion is where Aleph got his fidence. He was on the side of the missing arm, so even if it would smash him down, it wouldn’t be able to do so due to the ck of its arm.
“ you do it?!”
“...Yes. I think so.”
Without aation, Aleph rushed straight to its right leg. He scaled the ratio line so that the seventh division lies on its upper leg.
The pink energy began flowing more actively towards his right arm. The temporary enha gave him a more powerful strength, but its cost was exhaustion. It was far different from the measly two points per mihat he spent to carry the fifteen kilreatsword.
Psshk-!
The sound of flesh tearing resounded in his ears. The imperable sili shell was forcefully broken by his force as well as cursed teique.
In the world without opposing cursed teiques, the ‘hacks’ known as cursed teiques were brought to their fullest.
At this moment, Aleph’s eyes turned slightly red. The toughness of a Tempr-css beast was far strohan he had expected. If he was hit by it head-on, he would’ve lost.
It was thanks to his cursed teique that gave him a stronger means of attack that left behind his still vulnerable body.
‘Did it move?!’
Aleph did not let his guard down. He soon severed the of the tempr-css beast. With its already serious injuries, it became a stationary target that does not terattack.
After doing that, he made some distance from the honkai beast. He checked whether it was still moving or not.
If it was still alive, he might o cut its head off altogether. However, the dao that was extremely high. Cutting off the legs only served to intensify its prior injuries.
Aleph khat it was a Tempr-css based on its shape, but its size was another matter altogether. At best, it should’ve been around three to four storeys tall. It was an abnormality that appeared during this honkai eruption. He doesn’t know whether it gained some unique abilities or not.
Fortunately, there was something that reminded him of its death.

A total of five achievements were unlocked by him. They nearly covered his entire line of sight. He immediately dismissed all of them as he brought Carole out of the colpsing building.
Fortunately, exposure to honkai beast corpses doesn’t mean that everyone would bee an undead. Only people exposed to high-density honkai energy within a honkai eruption would turn minutes upon tact. The street where Aleph and Sakura met was one such example. Their resistaowards honkai energy was high enough to ighis issue.
Aleph g the girl being led by him. She didn’t exhibit any signs of exposure towards honkai energy. There is a ce that she has enough honkai resistance.
The honkai energy resistance was still a topic being discussed within Fire MOTH. The fifth researstitute that specializes in honkai biology is the leading figure in that field.
Kevin was found to have a high honkai energy resistance, whi turn influenced his physical body to bee far strohan the norm by being exposed to honkai energy.
In short, people who have such resistaend to bee Fire MOTH’s military personnel.
It’s just that Aleph doesn’t know what will happen to Carole, nor to Hua.
‘If they enter Fire MOTH…’
With Fire MOTH’s current treatment of sending human waves to barely defeat the honkai, the future looked dreary.
