Plundering in the Apocalypse



*Splurge*

As the blood gushed out from Alice's beheaded body. Aurora and Emily had their mouths opened wide in shock and disbelief.

"What?"

Pointing her finger at Shin and then at Alice's corpse, Emily shouted in astonishment.

"You. You killed her?"

She couldn't believe Shin would kill Alice.

"No, this is impossible," Aurora mumbled under her breath. Her mind couldn't process anything for a minute. Alice had already told Aurora her story. So she knows Alice's love for Shin and how much he meant to her. Shin was everything for her and the same person who was everything for her actually killed her?

'Th-This..' Aurora couldn't fathom that thought.

A surge of anger burst inside her. But before she could continue making her weird assumptions and delusions. She heard Shin's words.

"Hmph! This thrash dares to mimic Alice's form to trick me. Deserves death." Shin uttered with a snort.

Aurora and Emily were left stunned. Then their eyes fell on the dead body, and sure enough. It wasn't Alice's body anymore. Instead, it became a green-haired man's body.

They immediately understood it wasn't Alice, but someone else taking her form. Their cheeks flushed red in embarrassment.

Aurora looked at the dead man with hatred. Because of him, she started doubting Shin and Alice's love and made so many weird assumptions.

Shin didn't think much about Aurora and Emily's thoughts.

He glanced at the notifications in front of him.

[You have killed an awakened.]

[You have gained experience.]

[Plunder activated]

[You have plundered a new ability Shape Shifter (A).]

'Is this guy a demon worshipper?'

'Maybe he is also the one behind the incident.'

'I should have kept him alive. But who asked him to take Alice's form?'

*Sigh*

'If only I got his memory fragment.'

Sighing, Shin shook his head and sent a telepathic message to Alice.

[Someone here tried to impersonate you. Alice.]

As soon as the battle ended, Alice had already sent him a telepathic message and took the Chaos Necklace to try to control the barrier. But she couldn't release so much energy outside. Hence, she immediately went inside her Soul Space.

Don't know when Lucian took this chance to shape-shift into Alice and approached Shin.

'What was he even trying to do? Ahh, whatever. It doesn't matter anymore. He is already dead.' Shaking his head, Shin didn't care about this matter.

But someone else was very shocked.

"What?" Alice immediately came out of the Soul Space.

As she approached Shin, her eyes immediately fell on the dead body. "Is he the one?"

Pointing at the body, Alice asked.

"Yeah." Shin nodded without much thought.

When Aurora and Emily saw Alice, they were both relieved that their conclusion was wrong. Although they didn't care about her life and death. It is still disturbing to see someone being betrayed by the one she loved the most.

If Shin had really killed Alice. They would not have let him go. After all, betrayal is what they hate the most.

Alice had a frown on her face as she looked at Lucian's dead body.I think you should take a look at

Then she summoned her Soul Grimoire and looked at the dead body coldly.

"You dare trick, my darling. Even if you die. I won't let you go."

Under everyone's surprised eyes, a dark, shadowy figure emerged from Lucian's dead body and stood in front of Alice.

It was Lucian's soul.

"Tell me, why did you impersonate me?"

A hoarse voice came out of the shadow as it said. "I... was hiding... all this time... when I saw... the demon failed to... kill you all... I wanted to escape... and only you disappeared after the battle... so I thought you died."

Hearing his broken words, everyone got the ins and outs of the matter.

"I see. That's enough." Alice coldly looked at Lucian's soul and decided to torture it.

"Alice, try to get some information out of him about the demon worshippers," Shin said, reminding Alice just in case.

"Sure," Alice nodded. It wasn't a problem for her. Torture and interrogation. No big deal.

"By the way, I can remove the barrier anytime."

"Oh? In that case, wait for some time. I'll deal will the leftover demons first."

As things were finished here. They were ready to leave the labyrinth. But before they could, dozens of footsteps were heard.

*Tap*

*Tap*

*Tap*

A group of strange hooded people entered the labyrinth. Shin and the others immediately put on their guard as they sensed danger.

'These people are strong. Way stronger than the demons.' Shin thought with a serious expression on his face.

But to their surprise, that group of people stopped and took off their hoods, revealing themselves.

'Elves.' Shin's eyes widened in surprise, then narrowed in suspicion. 'Why are they here?'

"Relax humans, we aren't your enemies," Sylvia said with a dignified smile.

Shin highly doubted that and still didn't let down his guard.

Gesturing towards her subordinate, she continued. "My name is Sylvia, an elf. I am the captain of this squad."

"So what do you want?" Shin asked.

"Hey, that's pretty rude. I already introduced myself. It's only polite that you should do the same." Sylvia said while pouting.

"You can call me Shin." Shin introduced himself. Then continued sternly. "So, what do you want?"

"No fun, you are so direct," Sylvia said, but the next moment her expression became sharp. "Fine, have it your way."

"Originally, we came here to deal with the demons. But because of the barrier, we were a step late."

"So we took your prey?" Shin asked with a raised eyebrow.

"No, actually, you did a good job." Sylvia praised generously, then continued. "We just wanted to be friends with you."

"Friends?"

"Yeah. We Elves want to ally with humans. Isn't it good to have some friends?"

Saying that, she also keenly observed the expressions of Aurora, Alice, and Emily.

Just from a glance, Sylvia knew they will be difficult to get along with. So her target was Shin.

"Well, you can take your time to think about it. Weren't you going to deal with the demons in the city?"

"!"

'So, they heard our talk even before we could sense their presence?'
