After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 696

Jake jumped back to the interior, running away. Fortunately, the buildings here were dense so it was easy for him to jump roof to roof. The others saw this and thus started a game of chase.

Worse, since the houses here were only two stories, some enemies would make a makeshift stair and get a few people up to the roof with him.

"Tsk," he cursed, mentally looking at the rocks he kept in space. A lot of them had been used and he needed to ’refill’ it soon.

Most of the buildings here were system buildings so he couldn’t use them for his ability, however, Belluga idolized Alterra and made sure to have a lot of patches of green.

As he jumped over another roof with a park nearby, his hands formed a fist and several pounds of little rocks and balls of earth floated towards him. He’d keep a few in space and the rest where he had just been standing.

His pursuers would then slip and lose their balance. If he was lucky, maybe they’d break their neck in the fall (spoiler: it never did, due to the enhanced reflexes of the people here).

Then, among those, one managed to keep up with him. It was a level 15 swordsman—the team lead from before. He was furious to see so many of his team felled by this bastard!

However, before he could even grab ahold of Jake, something flashed before his eyes and he could only instinctively lean back to avoid it.

It was a friggin wind arrow.

"Thanks, Crow!" Jake said with a chuckle, leaving his final pursuer in the dust to deal with accurate wind arrows that were coming his way.

They had apparently run so far that they reached the area where the majority of the Alterrans were.

Crow was already there, shooting away, though he did choose his targets due to limited mana. He primarily targeted stronger people who had landed inside the walls.

On another side, a group of jerks were slashing about carelessly while fighting against the Bellugan guards. One of them saw a civilian nearby and escaping, but he was close enough for him to hit.

He grinned, shifting targets to stab the poor guy. However, a weird hard piece of earth suddenly appeared. It was Reno, who apparently controlled earth several meters away, all while handling a few enemies with his sword.

"Why do they have elementalists?!" He yelled.

"It doesn’t matter, there’s only three of them!" Another yelled, proceeding on causing chaos all around.

Before he could make another move though, another slash of sword came after him. He wasn’t able to avoid it on time and it still stabbed his arm. "AH, damnit!" he yelled, swinging his sword towards his attacker, who easily redirected it away. "Who is it!?"

"Me," Raine said, stabbing his weapon to take advantage of the opening, successfully stabbing him through the heart.

"You!!" he yelled and gasped when Raine turned the Class D sword, ensuring his death.

"They’re not the only ones you need to worry about!!" Raine said, pulling her sword back, defending against another attacker.

Raine had two of the other husband—the couple Suide and Orland—around to assist her.

Together, they created a small vacuum of safety that went wherever there were distraught groups of citizens. Interestingly, after rescuing, a lot of these citizens would join in the encirclement, strengthening its attacking force.

Raine was never formally trained, but she lived a rough life definitely not fit for a woman.

Anyway, the people who breached were taken care of by the Alterrans and Raine’s group, allowing the local guards to focus on keeping the rest of them out.
