Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

No one would take any action without consulting the others, or at least without mentioning it to the others—this was what they decided on.

Even the sixth leader, who got killed due to his arrogance, had told them about his decision.

This was a way to keep each other in check.

But even before 12 hours of the contract being signed, it was already broken by Urmina.

It was due to her greed that everything, which was supposed to have been solved with minimal casualties, went to shit.

If she hadn\'t stolen Alex\'s arrow, then none of the players that were dying would\'ve gotten killed.

The low-level players were sent out to cover the whole area not to fight Alex; they were just supposed to keep an eye out. They had all thought that Alex, who fights from a distance and plays his turn by hiding, wouldn\'t risk getting exposed to such a large crowd.

Who would\'ve thought...

"S-Shit, fuck this shit. T-This is not what you said would happen..."

Ragha, one of the five leaders, the only other guy other than Suarva, gritted his teeth in anger as he turned toward Urmina.

"... Bitch!"

He growled, his face contorting, making him look nastier than he already was.

He used to be a gangster before it all started. And not just a normal gangster; he was pretty famous, and he had many subordinates under him.

Too bad most of them couldn\'t even survive the first tutorial.

He was a tall man with a scar running through his cheek, deep but already healed. His wrist showed a glimpse of the tattoos that were hidden by his shirt.

His body didn\'t look muscular, but he wasn\'t thin as well. If one were to splash a bucket of water on his, they would be able to see his toned outline.

The beard covering half of his face and his messy hairstyle just gave him an intimidating look, making him look like a gangster, just like he was.

But just because he was a gangster doesn\'t mean that he was a bad guy. He cared about his subordinates. The subordinates he had were the ones who used to follow him even before the apocalypse started.

*Stomp**Stomp*

"Why did you even steal his thing?!?!"

*Grab*

He gritted his teeth, moving toward Urmina, lifting her by the collar, glaring into her eyes.

She said that it was going to be okay and that Alex wouldn\'t attack if he saw this many people, so why? Why were his subordinates getting killed here and there?!

It was because she assured him that Alex wouldn\'t attack much less kill anyone. Yet!!! This is what happened! Almost all of them were killed!

Why did she even go after that guy\'s item?!

His men were getting killed all because of her!

Urmina, however, just stared him dead into his eyes before turning to look into the woods, hoping to catch sight of Alex, who was still hiding in the forest.

"You!"

This enraged Ragha; anger bubbled in his eyes as he raised his fist, still lifting Urmina with his right hand, but before he could attack...

"Stop it, Ragha."

Karina, who had been standing a distance away from them, suddenly appeared right beside Ragha, stopping his fist before they could even move forward.

"But this bitch—!"

Ragha, gritting his teeth, growled, his eyes filled with rage, moving toward Karina, but Karina just shook her head.

"My subordinates are dying as well, but right now, we should focus more on how we should handle the monster that might attack us anytime."

Karina wasn\'t happy as well; none of them were. All of them had their subordinates getting killed.

In a world filled with danger, only by being in a group would they be able to survive, and that group was getting killed right in front of them.

None of them wanted to see that happening—this was the last thing they wanted.

But if they were to fight among themselves, then they would become weaker.

Alex, a monster that none of them could defeat alone, was quite close to them right now. He was probably waiting for the right moment to strike, not wanting to take risks.

None of them were happy with Urmina. The woman herself was aware of it. But they didn\'t have any other option.

The other four leaders wished that Urmina had just run away with that arrow; that way, at least all of them wouldn\'t have been implicated in this.

But Urnima was also aware of the fact that if she were to leave right now, then she might get into bigger trouble than she is right now.

Alex might just leave everything and chase after her. That was why, as soon as she got the artifact, she revealed it to everyone, telling them about it and making them her accomplices.

But didn\'t Alex have to protect the egg, you say?

Who knew whether Alex could also move with his egg or not?

Why had he not left this spot until now then? Who knows, maybe he was planning something?

Urmina didn\'t want to take risks on some guesses, so she chose to go for the next best option, even if she had to listen to their taunts for a while.

She was fine with this, at least for now.

\'I will kill you for sure.\'

On the inside, she had made up her mind to kill Ragha before leaving.

How dare that ugly bastard hold her by the collar? Did he think that he had some kind of power over her?

Urmina was definitely going to kill him once all of this was settled!

For now, however, she stayed silent.

She wouldn\'t have protested even if he punched her because she was going to give him tenfold—no, a hundredfold in return.

She just needed to wait it out for the right time. .

Urmina just had to be patient enough till Alex was killed.

Yes, that\'s what she wanted—she wanted Alex to be killed. She wanted to become the guardian, now that it was clear that Alex\'s egg was mobile.

If Alex came this far out without worrying about the guy on the other side, then his egg was definitely mobile, and since he could still think of hunting them, that must mean that the egg was small as well.

Or maybe one could carry the mobile eggs in their storage...?

There were many possibilities, but Urmina just wanted to become the guardian.

With the other four leaders\' help, she might really achieve her goal.

But suddenly...

"H-Huh?"

"I-It stopped??"

"A-Are we safe?"

The continuous wooshing sound that the people running away from Alex heard suddenly stopped.

It was eerily silent as if something big was brewing, but it was only felt by the five leaders.

They were strong enough to sense the tension in the air that felt relaxing to others.

The others were just relieved that the arrow stopped coming from them.

Some of them already collapsed, unable to take it anymore, and some rushed toward the dead bodies of their friends or maybe family members.

The leaders, however, stood frozen in their spots. They felt like they were under surveillance—someone was observing them.

That was until Saurav made a move...
