Plundering in the Apocalypse

Chapter 102 Sand Golems!!

"Arise"

Alice immediately summoned her servants. 12 black humanoid figures stood up. 4 of them had swords, 3 archers, 3 maces, and 2 axes.

She also summoned Mia and Mr. Robin.

Those sand golems started their attacks. But Shin didn't give them time for it. He immediately used his new move which he deemed effective.

"Water cannon."

It was the move used by those Merkins on floor 5th.

'I remember those water canons were enough to blast off boulders. Let's see how much it affects those sand golems.'

As the burst of water met a sand golem it got half destroyed.

"This is working." Shin didn't waste any more time and shot more water cannons.

"Water cannon."

"Water cannon."

...

"Soul bomb." Alice also used her soul bombs.

*Boom*

It was very effective.

But the attack speed wasn't enough as they soon got surrounded by many sand golems.

"Go attack them one by one. Archers keep your distance. Mace users and axe users take the lead. Sword users support them." With Alice's command. Her Soul servants got into action and started taking sand golems one by one. Cloak's effect also helped Alice in decision-making.

She looked like a natural-born leader.

Robin took the lead of all those servants. Mia was at the back giving support.

"Formless" Shin activated his legendary weapon.

His weapon took the form of a sharp sword. Alice also summoned her scythe.

They jumped at the golems. Shin slashed his sword and just as expected it didn't affect the sand golem much.

"Alice, use mana in burst form." Shin immediately used mana on his weapon. But he knew it won't be as effective as Alice. So he needs to deal with them in other ways.

Alice used her scythe but it was made up of chaotic energy. She was able to fight sand golems with that.

Shin used his extreme speed with gravity control. He slashed at the sand golem while activating a fireball at it.

"Fireball"

Shin takes a side step as he dodges the golem attacks.

As soon as he found himself in between 10 golems he used water cannon with extreme pressure. He also used gravity control to increase the pressure.

"Water cannon."

More than 10 golem dies with a single attack.

"Gravity control."

Shin lifts one golem and throws it on another. Both golems die.

"Haah"

As he turns to look at Alice. He gets surprised. Alice's scythe suddenly turned double in size and cut apart the golem.

Even her servants were able to kill many golems.

"Water cannon"

"Water cannon"

"Soul bomb."

"Gravity control."

As they continue to fight for minutes. Under the barrage of their attacks. All the sand golems finally die.

<strong>[You have killed 89 Sand Golems.]</strong>

<strong>[You have gained experience.]</strong>

<strong>[You have leveled up.]</strong>

<strong>[+10 bonus stats for leveling up.]</strong>

<strong>[Plunder activated]</strong>

<strong>[You have absorbed 40 stat points.]</strong>

"This time I didn't get any skills. That means those golems didn't have any skills. They only had their physical powers." Shin sighed in disappointment. But was fine thinking he got some stat points and also leveled up.

"Are we done here, Shin?" Alice asked while she turned back to her normal form.

Shin was about to reply but they heard the announcement first.

<strong>*Ding*</strong>

<strong>[Congratulations on clearing the Sixth floor. All the rewards will be distributed while exiting the Labrinth.]</strong>

<strong>[Please move to the next floor.]</strong>

"Yeah, let's move then. Are you alright?" Shin asked just to confirm. He didn't want Alice to hide her injury.

"Yeah, I'm fine," Alice replied assuring him.

"Then let's move." He said and immediately activated his predator's eyes to search for the gate to the next floor.

But this time things were not easy. He couldn't find the gate no matter how much he tries. The sixth floor is also only in these ruins so finding the gate should have been easy. But it was not.

"Just where is the gate?" Shin uttered in frustration.

"Shin, can it be hidden?" Alice asked in worry.

"Maybe. It is. Let's search this ruin for clues."

Both of them started searching for any clues they could find.

After a few minutes of searching, Shin stumbled on a pattern marked on the ground.

"Eh, why didn't we notice this before?" The pattern was a little covered in sand because of the earlier fight.

"Gravity control." Shin immediately activated his ability and a large mass of sand started floating.

Shin waved his hands and threw all that sand far away. Now they were able to see the pattern on the floor.

"Is this a puzzle?" Alice muttered while rubbing her chin.

"I don't think it's something much difficult." Shin immediately shifted the dials near them and pointed them at the center.

"Nothing happened? Was I wrong?" Shin got confused but a moment later the ground started shaking.

[You have found the gate to the seventh floor]

With this announcement a large hole formed at the center of the ruin. Some ladders took them underground.

***

Inside the fourth floor.

Leonard was busy killing the Roaches with extreme difficulty.

*Clang!!*

*Slash!*

As the sound of metal echoed he managed to kill another one.

"Hah, next one." But the next second he got distracted by the sound of the announcement.

[You teammates have cleared floor 6th.]

"What?" Leonard was shocked. 'It's only been a little more than 30 minutes. How can they clear the whole floor?'

He believed it would take them 4 hours at the very least no matter how talented they are.

"Something is very wrong here. I have to clear this floor fast and see who these bastards are." As another floor was taken from him he was very annoyed.

But this time another big commotion started outside. Cause another engraving lit up on the labyrinth's door and the funny thing is.

"Holy shit! Another one. Who entered this time? That ghost party again."

"They cleared the 6th floor wow."

All the news media outlet was at it again. Seeing the commotion Alfred called home.

"What is it, honey?" Reina picked up the call.

"Did Shin and Alice go to the labyrinth today?" Alfred asked as he heard the news about the engraving lighting up.

"Yes, they went some time ago," Reina replied. As Alfred already went to the office early, he didn't know about their plan.

"I see. He planned to hide it right?" Alfred asked.

"Yes, he will use his skills to get in without being detected like last time," Reina explained.

"Okay," Alfred ended the call.

***

"Mr. Alfred." A man with a white beard came to Alfred's office.

"Sir Stuart. How can I help you?" Alfred asked respectfully.

"The news on the labyrinth engraving," Stuart gestured with a smile. He was very excited to tell Alfred something. This is going to be big.

"Yes, I was about to come to you for that. Should we use the Ghost party name again?" Alfred asked as he knew Shin had used his invisibility skills.

"I just got information from one of my men. This time they saw the person who entered it." Stuart said with a laugh. He was very excited.

"We have to release this news first. This is exclusive. Fast."

Alfred was in shock. 'Was Shin seen by someone? How?'

He was sweating bullets. His mind was in frenzy.

'What if the Wolner Clan gets to know about it? No, No. That can't happen.'

Alfred was anxious but he didn't show his nervousness outside.

"Do you know who were those ghost party?"

Stuart nodded his head with a smug smile.

"It was not a party," Stuart replied proudly.

'Oh no, Shin. How can you be caught?' Alfred was cursing Shin for being careless.

"It was a single person," Stuart answered proudly.

Alfred frowned thinking. 'Was Alice not caught?'

"A solo man?" Alfred asked. "Who is it?"

"Yeah, a solo man. His name is Leonard Drake. He is from Kunshun City."

Alfred was dumbfounded. 'What? who is he now?'

"I have a video of him entering." Stuart showed the video on his phone.

Alfred watched the video where a young man entered the labyrinth alone.

"Okay, sir we will broadcast it now." Alfred gave a bright smile and got to work.

"I'm counting on you." Stuart went back to his office while he was in a great mood.

'Good job Shin. Now they can't suspect you anymore. It was a great plan. I'll help you with it.' Alfred smiled thinking he had properly understood his son's plan.

'I'll make Leonard the only person responsible for the Ghost party.'

***

[The Ghost party is revealed. It was Leonard Drake from Kunshun City.]

...

Many news channels started showing this news and Leonard got the attention of many big authorities and families.

But he was still inside just trying to clear the fourth floor.

"Die, Die, Die. You roaches. I'll soon kill those pests too."

***

Shin and Alice were going downstairs following those never-ending stairs.

"Just how long will we keep going down?" Alice was complaining. Her physical strength was a lot weaker than Shin after all.

"It's getting hot. Don't you think?" Alice asked as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Something is weird."
