The sheer sight of these creatures, that most had never seen before, had shook their very core. If one thought the zombies were scary, this would make them look like no threat at all.
Guns, grenades, nothing was working against them, and when they eventually injured them, still they were able to heal. They felt like there was a large wall in front of them, one that was too high for them to beat.
Yet, a single person had changed the atmosphere in the room, with a swing of his sword, he had watched the large tentacle slam into the ground, and instead was smiling toward them.
"I've gone through and experienced things far more scary than you." Zain said to them.
He looked at the tentacle, and although it hadn't been sliced through, the top of its skin had been cut. His new Titan weapon was doing him well.
The demons, in retaliation to this, sent out another tentacle toward him, but with his speed and strength, he was able to knock it away. The original tentacle that had attacked lifted up from the ground trying to hit him from the other side.
Swinging his empty hand, soon a white coloured weapon appeared, and sliced right through the tentacle. It was now wiggling about on the ground, and black blood from the demon was squirting out everywhere.
Soon from the wound, the tentacle was regrowing. Zain could see that the demon he was fighting with, had used another one of its tentacles to grab onto a soldier that was on the floor still alive, but not for long as it was draining its life force.
"Good job kid!" General Begal shouted. "But it's time we all get out of here. Trust me, they can't get us outside."
While Zain so far was faring fairly well against the demon, he wasn't so sure he could take on three of them on his own, otherwise, it wouldn't have been considered a Diamond tier quest.
Since everyone was leaving the area, the best thing for them to do was leave with them, for his survival. While they were running backwards just like the general stated, it looked like the demons weren't moving from their position and were staying where they were.
At the same time, Wendy looked at Zain's hands and the weapons in his hands.
'I'm sure of it, that sword appeared in his hand midway? Is it a superpower? Like what we have, but he's a zombie, how can he have both and those weapons don't exactly look normal either.'
Exiting out of the tent, they could see that the ground was filled with vehicles and weapons pointed at them, as soon as they saw the general though, the fingers went away from the triggers.
"Stand down, we are okay for now." The general shouted.
Standing on the sideline, Pink, Kun, Ryan, Cody, Kelly, all of them were watching intensely as they were watching everyone come out, and they could finally see him, the red haired figure.
They wanted to shout out his name, call out to him to see if he was fine, he had a bit of black blood on his clothes, he looked fine, and for now that would have to be enough as they were unable to say anything.
"General, I think you have some explaining to do here." Wendy asked. "What is going on, and are we safe?"
Begal didn't answer straight away, instead he looked at the sun, and could see that it was starting to set slightly, but it was still bright outside. Meanwhile Wendy was looking at the tent, waiting for the strange creatures to come out at any second.
"I can't explain much and we don't have much time, but since we are all in the same situation, I'll tell you what I know." Begal started to explain. "The military has been unable to get a hold of certain cities not because of the zombies, but because of these creatures.
"We don't know who gave them the name, but we call them demons. As you saw, the demons seem to have come from the meteorites that landed and you have seen their strength for yourselves.
"Although other cities are struggling, it's not at the same level as this one. A large number of meteorites have fallen in this area, and that's why a border has been set up. If you were to attempt to travel out further, the border that has been set up is almost impenetrable. Those of you in this city don't realise it, but we are isolated from the rest of the world."
'A bigger border than the one we tried to go past?' Zain thought. 'No wonder they weren't too bothered with people leaving the city so much, but then what was their border for?'
"You asked before what we were looking for, well we were looking for these demons. There are a few things that we have learned from them. First they come from the meteorites, they act like a cocoon for the demons. We were trying to figure out a way to get rid of them before they hatched, and now it has turned into this situation.
"We had a theory that maybe when the demons hatched out of the meteorite they wouldn't be as strong but it doesn't seem to be the case. As for the other details, the demon's skin doesn't react well to sunlight.
"While the sun is out, all of us are safe, but they do have a way they can travel in the sun, and that is by using human skin. The demons are able to disguise themselves as humans and travel during the day just fine."
Zain had seen this in Shark's memories, and now he understood why the border was there, but with the general's explanation over, it looked as if they had around five more minutes left of sunlight... before the demons would be out, and ready to attack.
