Chapter 15 - CHAPTER 15 OUTBREAK

He decided to try this skill tomorrow at the dojo.

Unknowingly, he slept after a full day of hard work.

Jasmine looks at its owner, after obtaining her own technique, her intelligence increased greatly.

She doesn't know why but something from her owner is attracting her.

Shaking her head, she doesn't want to worry her owner and went out on her own.

Looking at the sky which is beginning to turn dark, her eyes were shining in anticipation.

Sean doesn't know all of this, he slept the entire night.

He wakes up feeling refreshed but it was still dark outside.

Considering that he no longer feel like resting, he starts practicing the Monkey Body Tempering Technique.

Wuk seems to sense him training their technique and wakes up.

He cries to him, knowing what he wants, Sean let's him out.

Wuk is no longer a small monkey, now, his size is similar to that of a high schooler.

Recognizing where he is, he went out by using the window and lands at the smack backyard they have.

Since he's already at the peak of iron tier, he decided to train his King Kong Punch rather than their synched martial art.

Memories of Sean fighting keeps appearing in his mind.

It's limbs are quite long, his reach might be greater than Sean himself.

Seeing him training, a thought appears on Sean's mind and his eyes lights.

He jumps from the window and lands at the backyard.

"Why don't we spar?" He asks.

Wuk stops his training and the two of them looks at each other, sparks seems to fly.

"This backyard is too small for the two of us, let's not do this here, why don't we try at the park?"

Wuk agrees, the two comes out of the house only to be greeted by multiple people in hooded attires.

Both their expression changes, instantly entering battle mode.

"Wait! We're not here for you two, we are members of law enforcement division of the federation." One of them takes out a badge and throws them to Sean.

The badge contains a name, the federation's mark can also be seen in the badge.

Realizing this, he throws the badge back before looking at the manhole the hooded figures are surrounding.

"Sh*t! He cursed loudly before going back to the house, he needs to wake up Yana and his aunt.

Something is clearly going down and as civilians, the two are the most vulnerable.

BOOM! The street explodes as a large crocodile walking upright comes out.

ROAR! It let out a loud cry but before it can react, all the hooded figures immediately swarms towards it.

All manners of attacks and multiple mystique creatures appears on the scene.

Seeing the mark on the crocodile's chest, Sean feels a chill on his heart.

"Genetic Upgrade!" Without hesitation, he breaks the door of his aunt and Yana.

The latter wasn't asleep, sensing the shake and hearing the loud noise, she immediately knew something had happened.

"Yana, we need to escape!" Grabbing Yana who was wearing a cute cat outfit, he makes a dash for it.

Meanwhile, on her computer, messages starts popping up, seemingly asking what's happening.

Leaving the house, Sean was carrying the two girls while Wuk was carrying Jasmine.

BOOM! BOOM! Explosions and crashes can be heard from their surroundings.

It seems like the entire block was under attack. Sean cursed the federation.

He knows that they don't care if a couple of civilians are killed during their raid as long as they are successful.

Only this time does he realized just how fragile the life is for normal people in this world.

Screams and cries starts appearing, it seems that the entire neighborhood was woken up by all the commotion.

Suddenly, from behind them, a light flashes, in the light a house size portal has now appeared.

The expression of the two turns blank, the nightmare they experienced all those years ago has now come back to haunt them.

'D*mnit! What the hell are those maniacs doing!? It can't e a coincidence that with their appearance a portal just have appeared out of nowhere!' He screams inwardly.

"Wuk! Lead them to the Black Ape Dojo! I will provide cover!" He roars.

"No!" Both Yana and his aunt reacted but Wuk forcibly throws them into his shoulder and carries them to the Black Ape Dojo.

He wasn't a saint, as long as he can't handle the danger, he would escape but he's also not like those eastern mc that lacks empathy, only thinking about themselves.

If given the opportunity, of course he would help others, if you don't help others, don't expect that others should help you back.

Given another life, he would rather live it without regret, sure a martial artist's lifespan is quite long but what's use is that if you only live your life always cowering in fear hoping only for longevity.

You can call him brash, naive and an idiot but that's what makes one more human.

He won't push himself to death for strangers but as long as he has enough strength to actually make a difference, why not?

Multiple bugs the size of humans comes out of the portal, they spread throughout the neighborhood.

The law enforcers are now being overwhelmed.

Inside a house, a woman was hugging a little girl looking at the outside with fear but she doesn't despair.

She cries in her heart, prays for the god that someone, anyone can help them.

BOOM! A figure came crashing down their roof, it was a large bug, just as the woman was now in despair, another figure lands on top of the bug.

"Die! Die! Die!" The figure roars as he punches the bug over and over again.

After killing the beetle-like monster, he turns to the pair of mother and daughter.

"I am Sean, one of the people living in this neighborhood, you might not know me but hopefully you know my aunt named Tsu Zaki."

The woman doesn't know either of them as she would be busy almost everyday.

"You guys should start evacuating, this place is no longer safe, there's a portal outbreak in this area."

The woman was shocked, she just thought that there was some sort of battle outside, the situation is much worse than she expected.

"What are you dazing about!? Let's go!" With that he destroys the wall before going to the nearby house.

Unfortunately, the people living in that house wasn't so lucky, their corpses are now being eaten by the bugs that invaded their home.

"Beasts! Die!" He roars before grabbing one of the bugs and smashing it to the other bug feasting in the house.

With the two on top of each other, he raises his fist and punches a hole through the two of them.

King Kong Punch!

He looks at the corpses and sigh, he knows that he can't save everyone but seeing their death still affects him.

'I must continue to strive forward! Not only for myself but also for my family!' His determination only growing stronger.

Taking one of the beds, he returns to the pair of mother and daughter.

"Hop on! I'll take you away from here!" The mother grabs the daughter and she climbs atop of the bed.

Sean carries them while running away, he hopes that he can find a vehicle in their neighborhood but that's unlikely.

Most people here are survivors from the last portal break, prices in that time was extremely low.

Many of them were poor and can't afford to waste money on stuff like vehicle.

"F*ck! There's no car in this neighborhood!" He swears loudly.

"I know a truck owner! He works for a martial art company! He lives nearby." The woman heard his words and immediately speaks.

"Where!?" He was strapped in time, he decided to save as many as he can but the number of insect monsters is just too great.

The woman points at the direction of a large compound.

His eyes glints, the compound is heavily protected by a large iron gate but doesn't have any guard from flying creatures.

'I don't think that I can destroy that gate.' He thought before look around for ways to climb.

Suddenly, the gate opens and a group of people came running away.

Inside were five people fighting against seven insects.

'Martial artists! His eyes lights up seeing more help.

Unfortunately, his excitement was doused immediately upon seeing their performance.

He puts down the bed and grabs one of the people running away.

"Do you know how to drive a truck!?" The man was stunned but sensing the strength from Sean's hand, he can only answer truthfully.

"Good, you're coming with me!" He then throws the man into the bed and dashes to the largest truck.

Taking a deep breath, he shouts. "Everyone! Come inside the truck! We're driving into the inner city!"

"Fool! Every man for himself!" Unfortunately, just as his words passed by, a flying insect swoops him up.

His cries reverberates to everyone.

One of the martial artists was injured after being distracted by two insect monsters.

"Dodge!" Sean roars as he pounces on one of the insects.

King Kong Ironfist!

BOOM! With one punch, the strongest insect amongst the seven was killed in one strike.

Ironhide Skin activate! His body hardens as he starts punching the remaining insects, giving some breather to the martial artists.

"Kill them!" He roars as he focuses on two of them, the two martial artists immediately charges and attacks the injured insect monsters.

After killing the remaining ones, they released a sigh of relief, unfortunately, it was short-lived.

Buzzing sounds comes from afar, Sean's expression changes.

"I have a mystique creature that has a skill that can attract their attention to me, hurry up to the track, I'll deal with the rest!"

Grabbing the three martial artists, he throws them to the truck and also runs towards it.

The man starts the truck and they starts driving away, many starts entering the back of the truck.

'To think that I would rely on this skill this early.' He thought.

"Do not look at my direction during the time of activation of the skill, it doesn't discriminate between friends and foes!"

When everyone is finally inside, they started driving much faster.

From time to time, some insect monsters would fly towards the truck but quickly dealt by Sean and the martial artists.

The number of insect monsters in the area is still small so he doesn't need to use his trump card just yet.

"Whoever hiding inside their home, run towards my voice, we're escaping out of here!" He shouts.

There were some that decided that hiding in their home is much safer than braving the wind while there some that risk it.

A woman wearing gaudy outfit was running while holding her phone.

Around her were her brother, father, mother and twin sisters.

Their house was already destroyed by the battle between the terrorists and law enforcers causing them to risk it all.

'Wait! Isn't that Sean? Why does he look slightly different?' She thought.

"Boss, the truck's already full!" The driver shouted as the people in the back informed him of the situation.

"Really? Okay! Full speed towards the inner city, we had done our best!" Sean can only sigh.

He looks at the martial artists and says. "Go to the driver seat, I'm going to activate my trump card in order to prevent any accident from happening."

"Are you sure you're going to be okay?" The martial artists had already considered him as their idol, they don't want anything to happen to him.

"No but it's a risk I'm willing to take, now go!" He roars.

Meanwhile, the gyaru was now filming everything with her customized device.

Everyone was watching her broadcast with anxiety, all of them hopes for Sean to survive.

In the Black Ape Dojo, everyone that was present inside was watching the scene of Sean displaying his resolve.

Wuk was already there, he was barely holding himself from going back to his partner.

"I lost my parents on an outbreak, no one saved us in the past, now that I had become a martial artist, I will try to save as many as I can!" He shouts, no one knows that he was lying.
