Plundering in the Apocalypse

As the powerful purple flames gathered around the Wyvern's body covering it. The temperature started to rise. For any normal person, it would have been difficult to stay there.

The Wyvern burning in purple flames was a sight to see. But Shin and Alice didn't have time to enjoy the sight they had to survive that attack.

Shin knew the impact of the attack would be terrifying.

"If we can just survive this attack. This will be our win." Shin mumbled getting Alice's attention.

Shin's blue eyes shined for a moment as he was now determined to survive with Alice.

"Alice, we have to give our all. Do you have energy?" Shin asked as he faced Alice with a serious look.

'We can't escape anywhere.' Yes, they had no place to take cover and the Wyvern can fly to them easily. So facing it was the only option.

"Yes, I'll try everything," Alice replied as her thoughts drifted to her Queen's transformation.

'I still can't use it.' Alice sighed.

'Why am I so useless?'

'If only... If only... I could do that. We could have handled this so easily.' Alice gritted her teeth in frustration.

'!?'

Alice thought of something as a laugh escaped her mouth.

'Hahaha.'

'This feeling of being weak. I wonder how long has it been. How can I change so much in just a few weeks? Was losing my parents and almost getting killed not enough? I also almost lost Shin on the 5th floor.' Alice thought as tears started forming in her eyes.

'Why did I become so arrogant with my power? Was it because of my ability rank? No. That's not it. I never took it too seriously. I never considered it a life and death situation in my previous fights. I was busy observing Shin. So killing monsters was no different than going on a date with Shin.' Alice thought as she glanced at Shin.

'This can't continue like this. I have to get serious. If I want to continue my stuff with Shin. I need to be overpowered. Yes, we will face a lot of enemies in the future. If I am strong enough they can't come in between my peaceful time with Shin.'

'Now that I am facing this Wyvern I understand that my powers are nothing. If I want to overpower my enemies I have a long way to go. Even Shin is growing very fast. I can't be a burden to him.' Alice gripped her hands tightly as she looked at the Wyvern.

(She thought all this in less than 1 second.)

Alice closed her eyes for a moment all her thoughts were setting like some knots were being untied. All those complicated feelings were simplifying themselves by having a proper goal to achieve.

As she opened he eyes her eyes shined crimson red and then turned dark red. Her gaze turned sharp. Her hair not only turned black but also grew longer. Like it did in her Queen transformation.

She raised her hands upwards and a black scythe with a terrifying aura appeared in her hands. It was the Death Scythe. It had taken a full materialized form. It looked fancy but eerie at the same time. This was nothing like previous incomplete black scythes with unstable energy.

Shim was amazed by the difference in Alice's new appearance. He also didn't waste time started activating several abilities as there was a change in Wyvern's movements.

The Wyvern growled and the flames intensified. As it flapped its wings purple flames started shooting in their direction as a rain of arrows.

The sight would have made many faints in terror. But both of them were unfazed by it.

"Let's do it," Shin uttered to which Alice nodded her head without taking her eyes away from the attack. Shin had already explained his plan to Alice with Mind control. To which she agreed without question.

The flames started dropping like rain. Getting hit by some would have been fine but there were too many of them to take them head-on.

Shin activated his magic eyes as he was now able to see the pattern at which the flames were dropping in slow motion.

"Extreme speed, Gravity control, Water magic, Body defense."

His speed and reflexes increased drastically. With gravity control, Shin was able to control a few of the flame orbs. With Water magic and Body defense, he tried to decrease the damage.

He jumped upwards, sideways, and did everything to dodge the attacks. The speed at which he was doing things would have looked like a blur to others.

The was doing those flames with full concentration. He was waiting for the right opportunity to attack the Wyvern. Shin was saying everything to face the final attack. Yes, these balls of flames were just the effect of him flapping his wings. This proved how devastating the actual attack would be.

Shin was not only dodging the attacks coming at him. At the same time, he was giving Alice directions with mind control as he observed all the attacks coming at her with magic eyes.

'Duck then jump, slash to your front. Tilt head to the left... ' Alice was following everything perfectly.

So she was able to dodge those attacks or cut them with her scythe. Her movements were very fancy because of Shin's instruction.

If observed closely black and blue energy could be seen covering her body. Yes, her fast movements were only possible because she was able to use her energies to increase her body strength temporarily.

This was they were able to escape those flames unharmed but the Wyvern wasn't pleased by it.

The Wyvern was ready to attack. As it dived with the full intention of a suicide attack. There was no hope for it to survive after this attack but it decided to take both humans with it.

With his insane speed, Shin appeared beside Alice. The Wyvern was diving like a meteorite ready to destroy everything in its path.

"Alice, it's time," Shin uttered and started transferring mana to Alice.

Alice nodded her head and activated her skill.

"Reaper Chains."
