My Bio-Nanotech System

Chapter 30  Close Call!

Carnage.

That was the word that could barely describe what was right in front of them.

Dried blood, covered the ground as far as eyes could see, submerging Khan to his ankles.

Around the place were tall structures, all in a dark color, a touch of crimson splashes around them, where different deep cracks could be seen.

Yet, he was forced to ignore that when he saw the monsters walking out from the shadows. Devilish beings with horrifying forms all stood up from their feast, the murky bones in the river of blood, and slowly turned their attention towards the small group.

A seemingly humanoid form, with lanky hands and legs reaching up to a meter in length, and coated in dark burnt scales.

Sharp demonic claws are seemingly darker than darkness, with crimson liquid dripping down from them. They turned their face revealing the singular eyeball of a complete crimson color that turned to look at them with a gigantic maw made of hundreds of teeth, blood, and intestinal fluid dripping down them.

GRRRROOOOWWWLLL

Thick blood dripped down their claws and bodies as they growled. But even more frightening was their growl alerting the others as they slowly pilled up more and more from the shadows.

"Get inside that building, now!!" The scream rang out from a red-haired adventurer who immediately raced towards the building close by, followed by the group.

SCREEEECCCCCCHHHH

Their running seemed to have alerted the predatory instinct of the creatures who all began crawling towards them with their lanky hands and legs, quickly catching up.

The wooden gate was kicked open by Liam[The red-haired adventurer] as they all burst into the place, Khan following in the third, Liam and the man who made fun of him before, the one called Sharon beating him to it.

Immediately the fourth person entered, and the fifth person also ran in but her hair was dragged by the devilish creatures, stopping her from entering the door.

"Help! Help!" She screamed out struggling with all her energy to escape the grasp of the devilish creature, as the remaining devirs all ran towards her with their fastest speed.

Mitsuri watched wide-eyed as none of the adventures took a single step forward. In their eyes, she could see fear, scowl, and in some expressionless. None of them had any intent to save her.

"He...Help." She whispered with tears in her eyes when she felt the presence of a devilish being on her and slowly closed her eyes before the loud word boomed into her ears followed by a rapid increase in temperature.

"Common level Fire Art: Fireball!" Immediately, the red-haired adventurer burst out through the door as he raised both hands, a gigantic fireball forming within his hands, reaching the size of a football, before flinging it towards the devir standing on the female adventurers.

BAM

SCREEEECCCCCCHHHH

A painful screech rang out from the devirs mouth as the flaming ball landed squarely on its chest sending it hurling toward the rest behind it as they all tumbled back into the river of blood.

Immediately, a hand grabbed Mitsuri's hand as she was shoved up from her lying position and onto a firm shoulder.

Liam ran back with his fastest speed Into the house as the crimson-haired man, the fourth to enter before Mitsuri immediately locked the door shut, using all the various locks at the back of the door.

SCRATCH

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

BOOOOM

The sound of something colliding head-on with the door and scratching hard against it rang out as the group slowly backed away but it ended up well as the banging noise stopped and everything returned to normal.

"Phew, that was close..." Sharon muttered exhaling loudly. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Are you ok?" Liam voiced out slowly dropping the pretty lady from her shoulder as he placed her on the ground.

There was no scratch mark on her revealing she took no damage from the attack, but she couldn't say a word as her heart thumped loudly, which in the silent room, was like a beating drum.

"Give her some space..." Liam said standing up as the remaining adventurers automatically backed away from him, and Khan chose to play along.

Slowly rising from his crouched position, Liam stretched forward his palm, a red sparkle appearing on it before turning into a small flame that illuminated the darkness.

Finally, the group got a clear view of their environment, revealing it to be a medium-sized room, with two wooden chairs, covered in a strange fluffy material.

At the center of the room was a small mat made with strange materials and a wooden table with curved legs was present at the center.

Around the white-colored wall, different pictures were hung and candles could be seen in the four corners of the room, a window at the eastern side of the room.

Liam pointed towards the window as one of the adventures, the green-haired one moved towards it, gently shutting it up completely while Liam himself walked towards the candle stand as he used his flame ability to light them up causing the room to be illuminated.

Slowly he walked towards Mitsuri placing her on the chair and much to Khan's surprise, she was already unconscious.

'Tch, she'll be dying first...' he thought to himself before turning to look at Liam.

"It would have been a joke if I had asked for introductions when we're not here yet but now, I think it's time we learn more about each other if we're to see tomorrow's sun," Liam said as the entire group walked forward taking their place in the seat while Khan chose to remain reclining on the wall.

"I'll start. I'm Liam Burnes, a B-grade Adventures. My ability as you all already know is Flames and I'm at the 1st grade Meteor rank stage..." He said as the entire group had their eyebrows furrowed.

Not only was he a very high-grade adventurer, he was also a very strong awakener having reached the Early Meteor rank stage.

"I am Theodore Roosevelt, a C-grade adventurer. My ability is that of blood and I'm at Ninth Star rank stage..." The crimson-haired man said drawing a cursory glance from the others.

As if he could read their mind, he suddenly sank his fingers into his skin drawing blood that slowly tickled down but before they could land on the ground, they floated in the air rising into his palm before taking the shape of a sharp needle.

Pointing to the side, the needle soared forward with inhumane speed, nailing into the door before dispersing into normal blood.

'So this is blood Ability?' Khan thought to himself very impressed.

"I'm Sharon Hilfiger, a D-rank adventurer. My ability is super strength and I'm at the 7th grade star rank stage..." The lanky man with sunken eyes and face said causing an eyebrow from Khan.

Who would have thought such a lanky man is a super strength awakener?

"I'm Mitsuri Shibuha, a D-rank adventurer. My ability is wood, specifically leaning on the healing side..." The pretty lady said slowly rising from her sleeping position.

Holding the hands of Theodore who still had a slight cut on his arms, green energy emanated from her palms as the cut immediately closed up.

"A healer? How interesting..." Liam muttered though the others could easily pick that due to the silence.

With a healer in their group, then their chance of survival just rose by a notch.

'I guess saving her was worth the trouble...'

The entire group finally directed their attention towards the young man in the room reclining on the distant wall.

"I'm Khan and an F-grade adventurer. I'm not an awakener..."

"WHAT!!!?"
