My Ten Wives and Ten Rings in the Apocalypse
Chapter 69 The Madman

"Don't let them bite you. Old on for a bit longer." A voice screamed.

The street was filled with giant rats with sharp teeth. Screams of agony reverberated everywhere. Yet, the men and women hold on swinging their metal pipes with every bit of their strength.

Swoosh!

Nika tilted his head back a bit and a sudden dart flew a few inches from his face. He gulped and sent a powerful toward the belly of the rats. He had lost how many rats he had killed. But the rats continue to stream in multitude.

Beside him, Nasir was drenched in cold sweats, he swung his kitchen knife fiercely. His body was drenched in some strange liquid. He continued to mutter some strange words with every swing.

On his left was Chloe, she held her knife and pierce the skull of a rat, avoiding its tail by an inch. Her breathing was frantic and her nerve was stretched to the limit.

The battle was overwhelming. No one among them had a powerful skill or was strong enough to lessen their burden. Everyone was left to their fate. Meanwhile, Nika was powerful but had yet to recover to his peak.

Thus, after a few minutes of fighting the rats. They discovered not all the rats could shoot out the poisonous darts. Discovering this, makes them sigh in relief.

Quickly, Nika took it upon himself to fight those with the poisonous dart while those that escaped from him dealt with Nasir and Chloe. Yet, the swarm of rats was overwhelming, coming from both sides.

Their barricades could only do so so much under the wings of the powerful rats. Nevertheless, the sectioning of the barricades saves a lot of people.

Those who had started forming their thread could easily deal with the ordinary that crossed over to their sides. While the last barricades had little to do.

However, under the continuous stream of battle, the people began to get tired.

Ah!

A rat escaped from the clutch of the second defense and bit the neck of a frozen young man. The young man didn't understand what just happened. He fell lifelessly on the ground with a ghastly lump of flesh missing from his neck.

The rats swallowed the flesh in one motion, preparing to pounce on its next prey. Suddenly, a middle-aged woman cried in shock when the rat jumped toward her.

The ordinary people were scared silly. They were trembling profusely with their face whitened as life drifted from their body.

Everyone was busy fighting the rat, unable to save the middle-aged woman.

The rat was only a couple of inches from her neck when a metal pipe struck its belly.

Die! Die! Die!

A man shouted with veins protruding from his forehead. His eyes turned fiery red. For a couple of seconds, the people looked at the weak middle-aged woman in shock.

What got into him? They thought.

After hitting the rat a couple of times. He took a deep breath and looked at the oceans of rats.

"I have enough of this." He muttered, madness filling his eyes.

The death of his wife and children, made him live each life with regret. He wanted to commit suicide every time. But the soft smile and the joyful laughter of his children made it impossible for him.

Now, he let go of everything. He climbed over the barricades and arrived at the second zone. For a moment, the madness in him disappeared. He realized the danger in this zone was way higher than he had expected.

Yet, his revenge against this monster made him let go of everything. 'If it's death, I'm not afraid anymore. At least, I will die trying.'

He pounced toward the nearest rat and struck his metal pipe on its head. The rat grimaced for a moment before the second strong pipe hit its skull, forcing out all its innards.

The group saw the new arrival and nodded toward him before they resumed their killing.

Ah!

A man fell to the ground and convulsed with white fumes coming out of his mouth. The people grimace, seeing the fatal poison spreading throughout his body. Fear gripped their hearts.

How did the deadly rat cross over?

When the people were still debating how to handle the powerful rats. The newly arrived man jumped toward the rat and swung his pipe with everything in him.

Bang!

The rats crashed backward but only have a minor injury. The rats and the man glared at each other.

The rat releases the poisonous darts from its tail while the man swings its metal pipe, aiming to smash the core of the rat.

Bang!

Suddenly, the pipe hit something in the air and it shook vehemently in his hand. The man took a couple of steps backward to diffuse the aftershock. He raised his brow and licked his lips.

'"Oh-yeah. Bring it on!" He screamed.

He pounced on the rat like a beast. Not to be outdone by man. The rat jumped toward him with its mouth widened.

Bang!

The two collided and stumbled backward. Quickly, they pounce on each other with each strike they sustain an injury. But the man and the rat didn't care. They continued their fight for a couple of seconds when the metal pipe hit its nose.

Ew!

The rats grimaced and slumped on the ground. It tried to regain its mobility but another strike of metal pipe descended on its head. The man noticed the head was the weak point but he didn't know where in particular.

But he didn't care. He continued to rain the metal on the rat's head. Some of the rats tried to attack him but were killed by the others.

After gods know how long, the rat head had been squash opened. The man took a deep breath and stumbled backward.

However, instead of getting tired. A mysterious energy entered his body and a golden circle appeared on his head.
