ENERGI: THE PRIMORDIAL CONDUIT[OP MC, APOCALYPSE, SURVIVAL, AND LITRPG]
CHAPTER 57: SHOCKING GROWTHKael's high perception smoothly took in the changes around him.
The side wall surrounding the school had long crumbled, exposing them to the grassy field in the open. Undead drawn by the noise rushed at them, yet blue arrows flew out, their sleek bodies tracing arcs through the air as they pierced into the creatures and slowed their charge.
His senses fell on Alice, covered in radiant blue armor, a matching colored bow in her left hand. As arrows materialized in her other hand, her hands became a blur as she knocked and fired them, unleashing a relentless barrage.
[LV 14 ??? (EPIC)]
With how much the group was using her weapons, together with her own rampage, Alice had the fastest growth speed in the group aside from his sister, that is.
His senses shifted to Nathan next, who was now level 11. This senior of his now had two shadows, as their three figures teleported across the war-torn ground.
Initially, he had tried to challenge a monster by himself, just like him and Alice.
Alas, despite also having an epic class, Nathan didn't have any experience in fighting. He wasn't Kael, who had Combat Trance to shore up his weakness, and he wasn't as talented as Alice. In fact, Alice was the scary one among them. What her class granted her was weapon mastery, yet she fought with a grace no lesser than Kael's.
Still, with him and his shadows moving around the battlefield and distracting the monsters to provide them with more openings, he was still a great help to the team. Not to mention the new skill he acquired.
An undead wove past Alice's arrows as it swiftly drew close to the team. Before it could take another step, the shadows nestling behind the crumbled wall suddenly moved. Black hands rose into the air before restraining the creature in place.
- ROAR!
The undead released a feral growl as it struggled against the restraint, yet before it had more time to escape, the blade of a one-handed axe split the air with a whistling sound, separating its neck from the rest of its body. Alice moved past the head sent flying into the air, the blue axe in her hand dripping with black blood.
More zombies surged towards her. But with graceful steps, she dodged around them, the now two axes in her hands cutting into their flesh. Yet despite how formidable she had become, she couldn't escape the undead's rampage unscathed.
A zombie sneaked behind her as she was facing another of its kind. Its claws raked through the air with a splitting sound as it intended to split her into six pieces from behind.
However, a four-sided crystalline barrier, translucent like polished sapphire glass and glowing with faint blue runes, appeared in the path of its attack. Its black claws smashed through the obstacle, but four more had already appeared, stacking before it like layered walls of crystal ice. It smashed through three more of the barriers, crystalline particles glistening under the pale moonlight. However, its force had already been mitigated by then, the last barrier stopping it in place.
The zombie growled in confusion when Alice suddenly turned around, her right axe cutting deep into the zombie's neck, the left also following immediately to decapitate it completely.
A head flew through the skies, a line of corrupted blood connecting it to its still standing body. Even till now, the creature didn't understand how it died. Not as if it could think in the first place.
The zombie Alice had originally been facing took advantage of the opening, a claw piercing through her armor and slashing through her back. Red blood splattered onto the creature, black lines instantly spreading from the wound to other parts of her body.
But the lines had barely covered some distance when a golden beam of light fell from the skies and onto Alice. The black lines of corruption were instantly purged as her back shone with a radiant holy light.
The undead tried to attack her once more only for its attack to be blocked by another set of crystalline barriers. Alice quickly retreated before engaging the monster once more.
Kael's senses fell on Claire, who stood with one hand raised, crystalline barriers materializing throughout the battlefield, while Sophia held a small staff in her hand, radiant golden light gathering around its tip.

Finally, rampaging with Alice at the vanguard were three undead. Two had hulking frames, their massive bodies colliding with their kind like battering rams, while the last undead sent radiant balls of fire flying into the rank of the zombies.

Kael watched how his sister's eyes shone with a deep pink light, a regal crown sitting comfortably on her small head.
With the previous undead she controlled still at their rear guarding against sudden attacks, his sister had now grown powerful enough to puppeteer four of these powerful creatures. And since they had long reached the limit of their level in the Awakened rank, all the EXP gained was received by her. Which was why the bright blue text shining above her head was so eye-catching.
[LV 16 ??? (EPIC)]
With how powerful they had grown, and how advantageous the night event was turning out, Kael realized something important.
They had all been subconsciously waiting for the system to announce the advancement of ten humans into the First Order just as it had done for the zombies. One must not forget that these beasts were still under a +100% buff. Which was why he didn't even want to see the main battlefield at the moment. Such a sight would just knock him back to the earth and send him into a spiraling wave of despair.
With the government's capabilities, there was no way they wouldn't have grown far more powerful compared to them, little kids. After all, technology didn't just cease working instantly; it was a gradual, though fast, process.
Even leaving aside the soldiers and armies, there were still experienced fighters, mercenaries, boxers, martial artists, wrestlers, and many more. Those people had more chance of shining in this new environment than what they could ever manage.
That was to say that the truly powerful humans would have definitely broken through the First Order.
'It seems different races have their own requirements.'
And as if the system had been waiting for that thought to form in his mind, a system message flashed before the eyes of every creature around the world. Those who were in combat heard an ethereal voice, neither male nor female, sounding directly in their heads.
