My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse

A beast jumped out from under the vehicle with its mouth widened. In the air, its mouth separated into sharp teeth. Seeing this, Mack and the people felt their soul leave their bodies.

Seeing this, Mack recovered from his initial shock and transformed into a Metal man as his body was covered black. Without delay, he sent a powerful punch toward the crawler.

Bang!

Ah!

A miserable howl echoed from Mack as he took a couple of steps with trembling legs. He looked at his hand covered in blood, his flesh was mangled and his bones came out.

Seeing this, the other men had their mouths wide open as they saw their leader covered in blood.

"Run!'

No one knew who screamed but everyone was already running back to the ark. Mack gnashed his teeth when he saw upheaval. He wanted to retreat but the crawler he attacked was already over him. Fear gripped his mind as his brain was fuzzy, his muscles tensed and he tried to retreat quickly.

Bang!

The road cracked as the crawler landed on Mack's previous position. The crawler growled and fixed his gaze on Mack.

Mack's heart was already in his throat, panting. If the attack had landed on him. He would either die or sustain a serious injury.

Growl!

Many howls came from the bridge as many crawlers jumped out from their hidden position. Seeing the hundreds of crawlers, Mack was panic-stricken.

'Where the hell did they come from?'

Whoosh!

A golden streaking light flashed past Mack as he was surrounded by crawlers. The crawlers were like normal beings but their skin had turned gray, their eyes lost the pupil, their head was bald, their hands grew longer and their chest turned thinner, protruding their ribs.

Their normal teeth grew longer and their height was twice that of normal human beings.

The golden streak of light split into five, forming arrows and attacking the crawlers. The crawler howled and looked in the attack direction. The attack came from the top of the ark and as such, the crawlers howl loudly baring their teeth.

"Hmm?" Merab creased her brow when she saw none of her attacks manage to kill her target. Although, she was slightly surprised her hand speed didn't slow down at all. In a blink of an eye, she had fired five shots consecutively, aiming at the heart of crawlers.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The arrows hit the crawlers, sending them a couple of steps back, buying Mack and the fifty people a couple of chances to retreat. However, it was only a couple of seconds before the crawlers howled loudly and jumped toward their targets.

The over 50-meter-long bridge was filled with crawlers as they appeared at the other end of the bridge and rushed toward the ordinary-like locusts.

Seeing hundreds of crawlers on their four, chasing after them, Mack felt his life on his throat as he forgot all the thought of fighting the evil being and concentrated on escaping, as his body was covered in frost, sipping through his body from his hand injury.

Merab tried to stop the crawlers from chasing after the people but they ignored the attack as if it was nothing and jumped from one vehicle to another with great swiftness.

The distance between Mack and the leading crawler had reduced to only a couple of feet and it only needed the crawler a jump or two to catch its prey.

"I can't hold them down any longer," Merab murmured in panic.

Creak!

At that moment, the entrance of the ark opened and three people jumped out. They were Nika, Grandpa Philip, and Pipeman.

Seeing the three, Mack and the fifty people cried in joy as they let out a sigh of relief.

"I fight solo, you two help each other out." Grandpa Philip announces as without waiting for the two to respond and rush toward the incoming crawlers.

'Since I level up to a third Circle Existence. I have been itching to test my strength.' He thought and a wild grin appeared on his face. Nothing gives him pleasure than bashing the head of his enemies.

Whoosh!

He rushed toward the crawler at his top speed with his black staff. While Nika and Pipe man was left speechless. They looked at each other and shook their heads at his childish behavior.

Quickly, Grandpa Philip arrived beside Mack as the crawler claw was only a couple of inches from its target. Without further ado, he swings his black staff, leaving an afterimage, and hits the chest of the crawlers.

Bang!

Gra! Gra!

The crawler howled in what looked like pain and crashed into the nearby vehicles. It screeched and its mouth opened wide and split into four with rows of long canning teeth.

"Thank you," Mack whispered as he rushed past Grandpa Philip. In that couple of seconds, he felt the clutch of death on his soul without having the strength to shake it off.

"Don't mention. Go back and treat your injury." He said without turning back.

With the rescue of the people, everyone inside the ark breathed a sigh of relief and could now watch the unfolding battle with hints of relief since they believed in the fighting prowess of those outsides.

Whoosh!

Grandpa Philip turned his body to the side and muttered. "Pole smash."

Bang!

A crawler who sneak attack him was sent flying by the attack. The crawler crashed into multiple vehicles and left a deep crack on its trail.

The sound of bones breaking echoed on the bridge after the attack. However, what happened next, left the mouth of everyone ajar. The injured crawler got off from the vehicle and looked at its shattered bones that were reconstructing itself. In a blink, the deadly crack on its chest and restore to its previous state. It raised its head and looked at Grandpa Phillip with a savage smile.

"Don't tell me this thing could heal themselves," Nika murmured dazedly. Although he knew the answer, he found it hard to believe. Previously, the crawlers had a strong defense with great speed. Now, if regeneration ability was added.... How would they kill them?

Thinking of this, a bead of sweat began to form on his forehead. The battle had gone from normal hard mode to hell mode.

"How are we going to kill them with this ability?" Nika asked.

"Let's fight to find out." Grandpa Philip shouted as he rushed into the crowd of crawlers.

Bang! Bang!

The raging sounds of staff hitting the crawlers echoed on the bridge like a drum. Surrounded by tens of crawlers with their disgusting and intimidating mouths. Grandpa Philip never falters as his staff continues to hammer the crawlers.

Not to be outdone, Pipe man and Nika rushed into the stream of crawlers.

"Tyrant fist" Nika didn't dare to test the muddled water with his ordinary fist. He went all out from the beginning as his fist produced a golden flash.

Bang!

His fist hit the chest of the crawler and sent it flying while he trembled slightly as his blood rolled back and forth. It took him a lot of will to control his raging blood from going out of his control.

The shock was written all over his face as his breath became erratic. He took a couple of deep breaths to stabilize his breath as he jumped to avoid a crawler claw.

Bang!

The claw hit a vehicle and was sent flying out of the bridge, and down into the river.

'How could grandpa Philip fight them as if they were nothing.' Nika cried deep in his heart. But when he remembered he was a third-level existence; he let out a bitter sigh.

Whoosh!

A sharp metal pipe whistles through the tens of crawlers, hitting them on their vital spot. Since they were human to begin with, their vital spot must be this weak spot. But to his dismay, Pipe man found it had to be believed since those vital spots weren't vital any longer. He targeted their eyes but only for them to retreat for a moment before they recovered as if it was nothing.

Bang!

Pipe man dodged a deadly attack by an inch and his face pallid in fear. If he had not retreated quickly he would have been killed. He turned to look at Nika and Grandpa Philip who were fighting the crawler with everything they'd got but only for the crawlers to recover in a couple of breaths as if it was nothing.

"We can't continue like this."He murmured as his weapon sent a group of crawlers flying.

It was not only Pipe men that had such feelings but there was nothing they could do about it as they continued to fight without killing a single crawler.

Meanwhile, at the other end of the bridge, a group of Horde were covered in frost and watched the battle on the bridge in disdain. Even though they were covered in the deadly frost, they weren't affected.

"Crawlers are the bane of all humans. With them, we shall rule the world." Leader of the horde said in horde language.

Ahahaha
