Chapter 10 (The Mall)

It was a difficult choice to make, to risk our lives once again to protect the city we live in and the people that reside in it. But I made my choice when I went inside the portal, I had almost died plenty of times during the battles, but deep down inside, I felt a thrill, killing these monsters and feeling strong doing it. I felt invisible, nothing I ever felt before, before any one this happened, I was just an ordinary student trying to get through with average grades and thought. I never expected being useful helping others, but it felt great, the same group that had fought in the portal all agreed in helping the military clearing out another portal.

Lt. Hernandez had called for two vehicles, one for the other group and one for us, the ones who cleared the portal. However, when there was no sight of more goblins, students and faculty who survive the carnage, had started to gather around us, glad about surviving.

'Looks like I am going to have to call for more vehicles' Lt. Hernandez chuckled

After the vehicles arrived and we were on our way to the next portal, we had a radio to communicate with Lt. Hernandez. He had talked about the location of the next portal, which was a 10-minute ride by car, but longer due to the damage throughout the city. The portal was in the middle of the city's main mall, It was slightly bigger than the one we had encountered earlier.

'Two squads were dispatched to that portal one to explore, and the other to watch the outside. However, it has been 30 minutes since they went in, and we are thinking the worst. 10 reliable soldiers went in there, I just want to know if they are safe and sound.' Lt. Hernandez

"Did you guys manage to use the system and its points?" John

'No, most soldiers just only started killing monsters, since we were deployed not too long ago into the city, after most police departments were annihilated after minutes of battle.' Lt. Hernandez

We had finally arrived at the mall, and it was in worse condition than the school. Most stores caved in and the food building was destroyed as if a bomb hit it multiple times. Some Intel received from Lt. Hernandez, mentioned about a goblin using magic, a fire ball shot out and started destroying the place. Upon hearing this, I clenched my fists in excitement, I could not wait to use magic and fuck shit up.
