After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 269

Everyone’s defensive stance changed to one ready to attack. With no exemptions, their elements were ready to call at a moment’s notice.

Suddenly, a fast wind came and was about to attack Chris. Garan quickly manifested ice picks and threw them in a seemingly aimless direction.

Suddenly, a human quickly backed away, narrowly avoiding the sharp edge.

It was a man with a wan body frame, tall, and a pale face, but he looked rather than sickly he looked more like a thin vampire that fed on blood.

"Tsk," he said, wiping the small line of blood on his cheek. The speedster then swiftly moved back—almost teleported—to a direction, where he stood.

At the same time, his new position revealed his companions—no less intimidating than him.

There were three people beside him, each with their own characteristics. "Shame," A feminine voice uttered, making the speedster tut in annoyance.

It was a woman with a strong figure and reddish-brown hair. Next to her was a muscular old man with a bald head and a short beard. He had his arms crossed, just staring at them with no emotions.

The last one had a bulky and domineering build. He had a huge body frame twice that of a normal man. The others had impassive expressions on their faces, while this man reeked of malice.

The team saw the dripping blood on one of his hands, its mark extending all the way to his arm. It was obvious that it was the arm that passed through Johnny.

They glared at him, livid, and he just sent them a toothy smile in response. He even licked the blood on his hand.

Garan’s eyes narrowed, brain already churning for what they could do.

Because Elementalists were so rare, indigenous people also evolved to develop other ’elements’ focused on their physical abilities. This included super strength and super speed.

This was the first time they encountered this type, let alone both.

The bulky man looked at each of them up and down, and he sneered at their low levels.

"Tsk. The team that stole our mission was so weak?" He turned slightly to the direction behind them, "Captain, I’m offended."

After his words ended, a new figure emerged from the shadows, entering their line of sight. Suddenly, the air stagnated at his entrance.

It was a handsome man with striking features appearing in confident strides. He had long locks with a unique fusion of red and black. It cascaded leisurely down his back, beautiful—but akin to snakes.

They didn’t know if it was their imagination, but they could almost see some sparks surrounding him.

His piercing red eyes looked at each of them. There was a confident smirk placed upon his lips, and it felt so self-assured that it was insolent.

He moved with predatory grace, exuding an air of supremacy, and normal people would not dare look at him in the eye.

Everyone, especially the only woman, Vanessa, stared at the man exuding magnetic charm, despite the undeniable threat he showed.

The man was well aware of his effect on women, but he didn’t take a second look and focused on the leading figure instead.

"Ice? That’s rare." He said, an evil arrogant smile pasted on his face.

Garan’s azure eyes narrowed, body tense in guardedness, meeting the newcomer’s red ones.

At this time, all his guard was up and was ready to give it his all in a moment’s notice.
