Crack! Crack!!
One after another, silver-white lightning flashed across the sky, and the loud thunder roared across the land. The heavy rain poured down from the heavens, washing away the blood-stained world.
This was the first rain since the apocalypse, a night of revelry for the zombie monsters, and a chance for the surviving humans to catch their breath.
On this night, people no longer had to fear being chased by the living dead. They could sleep peacefully, and even if they walked right up to the monsters, they wouldn't be noticed.
The lightning in the sky seemed to have a deadly allure for these monsters, as they jumped around trying to catch the source of the loud noise. In the zombies' minds, sound equated to food, and something that could produce such a loud noise must be incredibly delicious! So, each of them struggled and leaped to catch it.
It was a spectacular scene, like a group of demons from hell trying to break free from their cage!
In a corner near Shintoko 3rd Elementary School in Tokonosu City.
"Ah! Die! Die!! Die!!!"
With a ferocious expression and endless rage, Komuro Takashi's fists were wrapped in powerful energy vortices, continuously striking the reveling zombies.
With each punch, a zombie would explode. But the frenzied zombies paid no attention to this mad human. Compared to the delicious thing in the sky, they completely ignored his existence…
Before long, dozens of zombies in the vicinity had been reduced to piles of fragments under Komuro Takashi's furious fists. The ground was awash with disgusting blood and entrails, washed away by the rain.
"Ha… Ha…"
Gasping for breath, Komuro Takashi had released some of his violent energy by killing dozens of zombies, but his eyes still carried a hint of bloodlust. He exuded an endless aura of killing intent, like a demon crawling out of hell.
Completely unfazed by the disgusting fluids on the ground, Komuro Takashi picked up an energy bead and began absorbing it. After absorbing one, he searched for the next, continuing to absorb them. His body had already reached its limit, turning red and even beginning to swell, but he paid no heed.
"Komuro Takashi, stop! You're going to burst your body at this rate!"
A somewhat short and chubby figure emerged from the dark corner, speaking with concern.
After Sora and the others left, Hirano Kohta had brought Komuro Takashi back to their temporary hideout. After being brutally beaten by Miyamoto Rei, Komuro Takashi had multiple fractures and severe internal injuries. Before the physical enhancements, these injuries would have killed him ten times over!
Although they hadn't spent much time together, they were still comrades who had fought side by side. Hirano Kohta couldn't just leave him be. After Komuro Takashi regained consciousness, Hirano Kohta hunted a few zombies and retrieved some energy beads for him to absorb.
In the apocalypse, energy beads not only enhanced strength but were also a miraculous cure for injuries. As long as the injuries weren't fatal, absorbing a few energy beads could restore one's health.
However, while Komuro Takashi's body had recovered, his wounded psyche was beyond repair. Ignoring Hirano Kohta's advice, he went on a rampage, hunting zombies and absorbing energy beads.
Having had his dignity and pride stripped away by Miyamoto Rei and the woman he loved taken by Sora, Komuro Takashi craved power like never before, driven to madness!
Completely ignoring Hirano Kohta's warning, Komuro Takashi continued to absorb the energy beads in his hand.
"Komuro Takashi, didn't you hear me? Do you think absorbing a few energy beads will make you their equal? I'm telling you, it's impossible!"
Seeing his well-meaning advice met with such coldness, Hirano Kohta was also angered.
Although he wasn't as strong as Komuro Takashi, his insight was no less. Both Miyamoto Rei and Sora had surpassed the limits of normal humans. How could absorbing a few energy beads make him their equal?
"Hmph! Hirano, don't you think you're meddling too much? We're just a temporary team, aren't we? My affairs are none of your concern!"
Komuro Takashi, now consumed by darkness, couldn't listen to any advice, even from the teammate who had saved his life.
Seeing Hirano Kohta completely stunned and seemingly unable to believe what he was hearing, Komuro Takashi felt a twisted sense of pleasure. With a mocking smile, he continued:
"Someone like you, who doesn't even dare to fight them, has no right to lecture me! It's truly disappointing. Even after killing so many monsters, you're still the same cowardly, useless fat guy!"
Without any mercy, Komuro Takashi's scornful and mocking words stabbed into Hirano Kohta's heart like sharp knives. The fragile friendship they had built was shattered in an instant…
Hirano Kohta was indeed shocked by Komuro Takashi's words. Was this the same Komuro Takashi he knew? Although he had been somewhat aloof, the old Komuro Takashi would never have acted like a mad dog, biting anyone who came near and rejecting well-meaning advice.
Honestly, Hirano Kohta felt a bit of pity for him. Having lost everything, was he now losing his very personality as well…
But Hirano Kohta wasn't the type to grovel before someone who treated him with such disdain. As Komuro Takashi had said, they weren't that close, were they? If he was going to act like this, why should Hirano Kohta bother with him?
"Haha, I'm a coward? I'm weak? I have no grudge against Sora or Miyamoto Rei, so why should I fight them?"
With a cold laugh, Hirano Kohta continued:
"Back in school, everyone looked down on me. They only talked to me when they wanted to bully me or have fun at my expense. But Sora treated me like a normal friend, greeting me every day. What did you do back then, Komuro Takashi?"
"Komuro Takashi, do you know what you look like now? You're a dog, a mad dog that bites anyone who comes near!"
Although he had been somewhat introverted and timid in the past, the trials of the apocalypse had brought out the ferocity hidden within Hirano Kohta. Since Komuro Takashi was being so rude, Hirano Kohta saw no reason to hold back.
"Hirano Kohta, do you want to die?!!!"
An explosive aura burst forth from Komuro Takashi's body. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was like a powder keg, ready to blow at any moment.
Not only his hands, but even his feet began to be wrapped in energy vortices. Staring intently at Hirano Kohta, Komuro Takashi exuded an endless killing intent.
"Haha…"
With a disdainful smile, Hirano Kohta raised his rifle with lightning speed and pulled the trigger without hesitation. With a low thud, a bullet grazed Komuro Takashi's cheek and embedded itself in the wall behind him.
"You think you're so strong? Right now, you can't even match a coward like me!"
Without any further hesitation, Hirano Kohta spoke with biting sarcasm.
Although his physical strength couldn't match Komuro Takashi's, his nearly perfect marksmanship was nothing to scoff at! At this point, Komuro Takashi's strength was no match for him.
Seeing Komuro Takashi stunned and frozen in place, Hirano Kohta continued:
"Hmph, I might as well tell you this. Your mother is lucky to be with Sora! If she stayed with a coward like you, who can't even hold onto his own personality and goes mad at the slightest setback, she'd be doomed sooner or later!"
"You said I'm meddling, didn't you? Well, I'm not that pathetic! From now on, we have nothing to do with each other. You go your way, and I'll go mine!"
With that, without any further hesitation, Hirano Kohta turned and disappeared into the night.
The rain continued to fall. Looking in the direction where Hirano Kohta had left, Komuro Takashi's eyes were filled with confusion, as if he had lost something important…
However, it didn't take long for that confusion to be replaced by endless rage and bloodlust…
Having successfully subdued Miyamoto Kiriko and Komuro Aoi, Sora, that scoundrel, naturally had no intention of letting them go. After a simple dinner and a quick bath, Sora, accompanied by Miyamoto Rei, tossed the two women into the room.
Due to the recent establishment of the contract and it being their first multi-person battle, the two women were visibly nervous and restrained. Sora, however, was in no rush. He let them stay aside while he and Miyamoto Rei put on a live performance for them.
Because it was in front of her mother and her former elders, Miyamoto Rei was also unusually excited. Coupled with Sora's deliberate force, the young girl was almost driven to madness, constantly twisting and moaning. If it weren't for the rolling thunder outside, her voice might have been heard throughout the entire neighborhood!
Almost speechless and dumbfounded by the scenes before them, the two women had no idea that such things could reach such an intense and wild level!
There was a hint of fear, a hint of excitement, and a hint of anticipation…
Although Miyamoto Rei's physique was far from ordinary now, it didn't take long for her to be defeated by Sora's domineering spear, leaving her completely exhausted and unable to muster any strength.
Sora also released himself several times on the young girl. Seeing that Kiriko and Aoi had already been aroused, a wicked smile appeared on his lips as he pulled them over. With a cry from the two women, he immediately took action.
Finally, he completely possessed these two women, further expanding his harem.
Whether it was Kiriko or Aoi, both could bring Sora a different kind of temptation and excitement. Thinking of their special identities, he couldn't help but want to ravage them again and again!
The storm-like attacks directly left the two women gasping and screaming, lost in an endless sea of desire, constantly sinking, unable to extricate themselves.
Under the endless night, the monsters continued their revelry, and Sora was also conducting his own…
