Stronghold In The Apocalypse

Chapter 44: Ignored And Provocation

"Haaa!" Leo gave a shout as he gathered his strength as the ground beneath his feet cracked like a spider web from the sudden pressure "Roar!" and the same time, a reverberating roar was heard as an almost life like silhouette of massive crimson bear with a height reaching five meters appeared behind Leo, looking menacing as it looked down at the new arrivals in front of them like a prey.

The three people up on their own trees suddenly felt the air around them became heavy as they started breathing hard as they looked at Leo with shock, awe and fear.

"Holy mother of god!"

"Th-this is too much!"

"Is he really some kind of an immortal cultivator like Josh said!?"

The group of mutated beast came into halt as they felt like the puny person in front of them is like a formidable predator that can't be underestimated.

This group of new arrivals are a group of eight mutated black boars, all of them are three times the size of the normal adult wild boar especially the boar in the lead, its size was almost that of a two story house and its almost a meter long tusk shined menacingly.

"You're pretty big for a Level 14, eh?" Leo said as instead of getting nervous facing this kind of a monster, his eyes instead burned with fighting spirit.

[Level 14 - Mutated Boar] [Level 8 - Mutated Boar] [Level 9 - Mutated Boar].....

The one on the lead was Level 14 while the rest are around Level 8 - 9.

"Kukuku, this is my chance to break through level 10 and get that reward!" Leo laughed inside him as his hands started shaking from excitement.

Out of nowhere, Leo suddenly pulled out his Thompson and opened fire towards the boards on the opposite side of the clearing.

Tink~ Tink~ Thud~ Thud~ Thud~

Instead of the sound of a flesh being teared apart, what sounded was like the bullets are hitting something like a metal and concrete.

"Damn, I think ordinary bullets only penetrates around one centimeter at this bastard's lackeys but this f*cker instead is practically invulnerable towards bullets" Leo cursed.

"Oh boy" Leo said as he finally noticed that what he did infuriated them a lot as they started preparing for a charge as billows of air came out of the boars nostrils, like a bull starting to go for a rampage.

"Focus on shooting at their eyes and Alex, take care of the smaller ones, leave the big one to me!" Leo hastily said and upon hearing Leo's orders, Alex immediately sprinted towards a nearby boar and leapt into the air and appearing above its head and punched its.

The part of the boar's head that got punched caved in but it didn't immediately die, instead it became more angrier as it charge at Alex.

With the sudden attacked of Alex, the gunpowder finally erupted as all the mutated beast squealed in anger as they also started charging at Leo and Alex.

The big one and three more charged at Alex and the other three charged at Leo.

"A**hole is ignoring me!" Leo shouted in anger as his head move backwards a bit as he inhaled a deep breath and at the same time he uttered "Primal".

"Roar!"

The mutated beasts got pushed back and then fell down on their sides as they rolled once on the ground before they struggled to stood up while shaking their heads as they continuously emitted air from their nostrils like they are trying to shrug off their dizziness.

"Damn! Make sure to leave one of the small ones alive Alex!" Leo yelled at Alex when he saw that he already killed three of them and then Leo charged at the three mutated beast in front of him.

At the trees.

"You heard him focus on their eyes! Switch to your Lee-Enfield!" Isaac commanded as he strapped the M1 Garand and took the sniper rifle from his back.

Their Lee-Enfield sniper rifles are mounted with scopes for higher accuracy.

Isaac skillfully adjusted his scope and he pulled the trigger "Bang~!" the bullet flew towards the eye of one of the mutated beast that Leo was fighting.

Sadly, it seems that it managed sense the danger and tried to evade it but instead got shot at its body, leaving a centimeter deep wound.

Isaac reloaded as the other two, Austin and Joe started shooting simultaneously.

"Good thing I was a hunter back then" Joe thought as he kept shooting.

*****

Leo kept moving around as he would suddenly disappear and reappear around the group of mutated beast that he is facing.

Leo stopped at the sides of a mutated boar and punched it, sending it rolling on the ground and then he hastily dodge sideways from being skewered by the boars tusk, that just charged at him from the back.

"Shit, fighting without my armor is truly hard. That boar would have died by now if I was wearing it" Leo complained as he felt his hand numbed from striking the boar earlier as he would dodge side to side from the boars that's attacking him.

Chaos was everywhere as shouting, squealing, gunfire and roaring are the only things that can be heard.

"Damn, that f*cker is still ignoring me!" Leo cursed as he saw Alex killing all of his opponents, leaving only a limping mutated boar while Alex is holding the leader's tusk as his feet kept sliding backwards.

Bang~!

Suddenly, another gunshot was heard and this time, someone got lucky enough to actually shot one of the beast's eyes that made it squeal in pain as it started trashing around even bumping its own companions.

"Nice!" Leo gave a thumbs up in the air as the pressure from him lightened. After all, he can't properly attack them as this three mutated boars are surprisingly good at their cooperation.

And it seems that one of the boars was angered by suddenly getting attacked by one of its companion that it immediately retaliated at that injured boar, ensuing a fight between them.

"Alex! Get that big guy over here!" Leo immediately yelled at Alex when he saw what's happening in front of him as he just kept attacking the other boar that got isolated.

Alex then immediately started leading the boar leader towards Leo as Alex would jumped backwards trying to outrun its charge.

Leo gave the boar a heavy punch on its head before retreating towards Alex.

"Leave the big guy to me" Leo hastily to Alex upon landing beside him.

"Aye sir"

The three guys up on the trees are busy shooting at the two boars fighting trying to deal much damage as they can even though their bullets are almost useless in this confrontation while Alex was just playing around the boar that Leo was fighting earlier as he even lifted it up and slammed it body on the ground but the other mutated boar that was limping earlier is slowly trying to walk towards them as its body kept shaking side to side like it would fall down any minute now.

"It just you and me now big guy!" Leo said while provoking him.

And this time, it seems that this leader of the mutated beast finally snapped as its eyes suddenly turned crimson red and it kept shaking its head while a mouthful of air was emitted from its nostrils while its right front hoof was sliding on the ground.

Leo smiled and gathered his strength and his posture was like when Son Goku started gathering energy to become Super Saiyan 3 and the crimson bear behind Leo started roaring in frenzy.

"Come on~!" Leo yelled at it as he slid his left foot backwards as he went into a fighting stance.

"Squeal~~!"

"Ahhh, Rawr~~!"

Both Leo and the Mutated Boar charge at same time with superb momentum as dust and debris flew behind them.
