'Why does he want us to serve him that much? Is it just his desire?'

The red maple tree girl thought, as she was having a hard time deciding. 

'He is the seven demon master and in all  human history and encounters with demons, it will all end in nothing.'

She thought as she observed the group who revived her. Their reaction is a little complicated and too he Jun too n to m her to do. One of them can explode now.

"Forget it. I don't want to rule any of you. Still, take me to the path where the children were. If they are gone and dead, I will make sure that every single one of you will feed my Envy."

Envy made a wiggle on his human centipede body.

"I will absorb them for sure, your highness."

All of them walk to their path. Crocus said nothing while at the center of the Insane humans or Zombies. They could hear their gasping breath and rumble growls that shook their spirit from time to time.

'Sh*t what is wrong with him? I felt animosity just now, but it disappeared.'

The red maple tree lady thought. Her eyes always locked on Crocus, and the group was trembling from time to time in his presence. 

'My lady, do you want to get out now?'

Said one of the followers. The red maple tree lady nearly coughed out of the blood. She beckoned them to not do anything that might harm them.

'He is the enemy of all humanity. If we could just kill him with your power, madam, then we would've made it easier for us to raise our influence.'

The follower replied, and when was heard by the others, they also voiced out their thoughts.

'Yes, madam! Let's kill him! There might be a price for his head!'

'Madam, I think he is difficult to kill, but maybe if we try.'

'Madam, I will follow all you as long as my family will be safe.'

The red maple tree lady replied in his head. 

`We can't win against him. Even if we kill him, there would be no use. We would also weaken and without experience in the next survival game.'

She said with a slightly solemn face. It was sent by her kind in the next realm and warned her to not kill weak points of the war.

The followers were shocked. They revived this ancestor to guide them in this survival game. It is said that she knows almost anything about the invader named all system. She is also knowledgeable in using mana because she is an ancient witch. 

'Plus, he is an expert in fighting and the other man has much more knowledge of the ancient system. He might help us cross this period of the apocalypse.'

The group trembled. 

'He is a person who wants power other than survival. He is also a person who can control other zombies, so we would be safer for him. However, with his personality, I am still not sure. The majority can decide who wants to go to him?'

The conversation went silent as they walked in the shadow of death and vigorous zombies.

Crocus seems to ignore them while casually flinging his hands to the head of zombies. Bursting high amounts of flesh and blood. 

"Envy, is it safe? Am I immune to zombie things?"

Envy nodded with an answer.

"Yes, your highness. You are immune to chaotic magic as long as the zombie was not higher ranked than you."

Crocus was a little stunned when heard that. He hurriedly retracted his hand to avoid randomly killing a random, higher kind of zombie. 

The group looked at him with peculiarity and turned their attention to the red maple tree lady.

`We will let you decide the answer, our lady.'

'We will let you decide the answer, our lady.'

The lady shook her head. 

'We can't do that. Let's see what he is if we reach our destination. Our only chance was the survivors. If they are gone, then that's the only way we could fight him to death.'

After a few hours of walking. They reached their target building. Crocus didn't mind the walk because complaining in a survival world is the worst thing he could do.

"We are here, right?"

One of the red maple lady followers stepped forward and nodded.

"Sire, the people that we caught were a lot, but we rented this place and took them hostages here."

Soon he put it in his pocket and took out a giant key. 

"This is the only way for someone to enter here. They are also vaccinated by immunizing serum, so there is only a small chance they could become a zombie."

Crocus didn't listen while riding his Centipede Envy. He coldly looked at them and ordered. 

"You all go first."

They locked the gate and step inside the building. Used an elevator, clicked the target floor, and when they reached the fifteenth floor and the elevator stopped. 

"Here we are, Sire."

Said one of the red maple lady followers. 

"Hmm?"

Crocus can feel something was different inside. He can hear a scratching sound. Even stepped forward as he could also sense something was different.

"Your highness, be careful. Another anomaly might have been here waiting for us. The highest chance is that of the little girl that lady Fanna is searching."

Crocus put his hands in his pocket and took out his phone, but the number of Fanna, and then he called her. 

Ring! Ring! Ring!

"Hello! Hello!"

Tatatatad! Tatatatad! Tatatatad! Tatatatad! 

Crocus can hear the rumbling sounds of machine guns. 

"CROCUS! DID YOU FIND HER?"

Crocus found Fanna different. When they were together, she wasn't like this. However, he didn't mind because there could be a lot of reasons. 

"I'm here... What's the little lady look like?"

Crocus asked. Soon he noticed that Fanna's breathing became different.

"The little girl had freckles on her cheek and a mole in the lower mouth. If you find her, then that's her."

Crocus found it weird, but well, he was not sure, so he didn't want to assume.

"Okay, that's it? Nothing else?"

Crocus heard Fanna hang up on him. 

"Oh..."

He didn't mind that he can hear a battle raging, anyway. She must be busy. He hoped they would survive. Crocus looked at the door and in the hallway, together with the group, while riding his centipede Envy.

*Knock Knock*

He did not enter, and soon a banging sound was heard. 

...

Inside the loaded truck. 

'Did you do that to him?'

Asked with an angry tone by the mature Fanna inside the head of young Fanna.

'Yes! You are lovey-dovey with him and it's so annoying! Remember, you are not using your body! It's mine! I will not be controlled by you!'
