Mikhail and Shasha gripped their weapons tightly as they looked at the steel door in front of them.
They could hear something trying to attack the first steel door, which served as the basement’s first line of defense.
Their breathing was starting to become ragged as the adrenaline pumped inside their bodies.
The two of them stood in front of Thirteen, who was covering Remi’s lips with his hand.
Inside the Basement, there was a weapon rack with many different kinds of weapons on display.
Mikhail and Shasha took an Axe and Rapier, respectively.
Thirteen had trained them to hold real weapons during their training so that they would be able to get used to their weight and familiarize themselves with them.
Although Thirteen was confident that his siblings would be able to win in a one-on-one fight against a Rank 1 Monster, they were still too young to handle Rank 2 Monsters and above.
Also, this was a Monster Outbreak.
They wouldn’t just be fighting one, two, or three monsters at the same time—they would be fighting dozens, and even hundreds of them, which was why most Wanderers prefer to fight inside the Gate than let the monsters attack them in their own world.
Suddenly, the sound of an explosion erupted, and the loud metallic bang that reached their ears made Remi start crying.
Although she was now four years old, she was still not ready for this kind of encounter in real life with the Monsters, which she had only seen on Television.
Even the faces of Mikhail and Shasha, who had been training to fight these Monsters for when they arrived in Solterra, were very pale.
Even so, they stood their ground, holding their weapons at the ready.
Another loud explosion resounded, and this time, Thirteen decided to let his sister go. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
“Don’t worry, everything will be fine,” Thirteen said to the crying little girl who was crouching beside him.
“Wuwuwuwu!”
Now that her brother wasn’t covering her mouth any longer, Remi’s cry spread inside the basement.
Thirteen had no choice but to let her go since he couldn’t let Mikhail and Shasha fight alone.
He didn’t hesitate to run to the weapon rack and take four Daggers from it.
The seven-year-old then stood in front of Mikhail and Shasha, making his two siblings calm down a bit.
In their eyes, their brother was the strongest among the three of them. Seeing him stand in front of them increased their morale, lessening the fears that were starting to take hold of their senses.
Thirteen placed two of the daggers beside his feet, while he held the remaining two daggers in each hand.
The steel door in front of them suddenly shook, and indentations of what seemed to be a head appeared on its surface.
They could now hear the grunting and squealing sounds in front of them which made Thirteen smile bitterly.
‘If I have to make a guess, we’d be dealing with a Boar Type Jinn,’ Thirteen thought as the steel door was once again rammed from the other side, showing the indentation of a creature with a tusk on its metallic surface.
Then it happened, a head of a boar poked through the Steel Gate and locked its gaze on the four juicy children that made its mouth salivate.
A squeal of triumph escaped its lips, but before it could pull back its head to charge again, a dagger flew in its direction, hitting its eye.
A loud squeal of pain and anger reverberated in the surroundings as the Boar freed itself from the steel door.
It was a Rank 2 Vagabond Boar, and from the looks of it, it wasn’t alone.
Another Boar peeked into the hole and looked at the boy who had harmed one of its comrades.
Thirteen’s face turned grim when he realized that the peeking boar was bigger than the one he injured.
‘An Alpha Monster,’ Thirteen gritted his teeth as he threw the other dagger in his hand towards the boar, who was looking at him with ridicule.
The Alpha Vagabond Boar didn’t even bother to dodge, and simply moved its face to the side, making Thirteen’s dagger hit its tusk.
The dagger then bounced harmlessly away, resulting in a metallic clinking sound as it fell to the ground.
As if getting tired of teasing the children, the Alpha Vagabond Boar took a few steps back before ramming the steel gate with its body.
The indentation on the gate became bigger and bigger with each blow, making Remi cry louder.
Finally, the steel door fell on the floor with a loud thud.
Mikhail and Shasha subconsciously took a step back the moment the steel door was destroyed.
With their last line of defense broken down by the Rank 2 Alpha Monster, there was nothing that would stop the Boars from devouring their prey.
However, instead of being swarmed, the Rank 1 Boars didn’t move, as if afraid to anger the leader of the Pack, who walked confidently inside the basement and eyed the delicious meat that was ripe for the picking.
“Mikhail, Shasha, don’t move!” Thirteen ordered. “Stay where you are!”
Despite the hopeless situation in front of them, Thirteen remained calm and stood his ground.
He was like a staunch pillar that stood to protect his family from harm.
Even in the face of such a threat, his experience as a System made him calm like the surface of a still lake
The Alpha Vagabond Boar didn’t like the fact that the boy in front of him wasn’t feeling despair in its presence.
Because of this, it decided to eliminate the boy holding the daggers first before feasting on his siblings, whose faces showed fear and desperation.
“Come!” Thirteen shouted.
In reply, the Vagabond Boar squealed angrily as it charged forward.
Thirteen didn’t back down and also lunged forward, his daggers thirsty for blood.
A moment later, a loud crash reverberated in the surroundings, and the ground was dyed with fresh blood, which painted it the color red.
