I'll See This Through to the End

 Boom!

In order to avoid the mutant dog's attack, Jesse was sent flying by Malachi's punch.

After stabilizing himself upon landing, Jesse didn't pause for a moment. He casually rubbed the injured area and charged back into the fray.

In this kind of battle.

In a one-on-one duel, as the protagonist, Jesse had a high chance of winning against anyone or anything.

But now facing Malachi and a bronze-tier initial mutant dog simultaneously, he was starting to feel overwhelmed.

But fortunately!

The protagonist was still the protagonist.

Even if Bruce had pushed him to the brink, he still had the strength to fight back.

As the battle in the arena intensified.

After dodging Black Handsome's attack once again, Jesse forced Malachi back with an axe swing.

Then, without hesitation, he stepped to the side with his right foot, crossing his hands together.

"Bastards, since you want to fight, I'll see this through to the end..."

Boom!

At the moment Jesse's hands crossed, his entire aura began to rapidly rise.

His clothes and hair fluttered without wind.

As if a massive energy was swirling around him!

At this moment, two lizardmen attracted by the scent of blood appeared in the nearby forest.

"Lizardmen?"

"Oh no, this is bad!"

"Quick, run!"

Seeing this scene, other survivors hurriedly fled towards the dormitory building.

With the smell of blood so strong here, now that monsters had appeared, more would surely follow.

So they didn't hesitate to run.

Seeing the two lizardmen, Bruce, standing beside Joanne, squinted.

"Joanne teacher, you should also hurry and take cover in the dormitory."

"Oh, okay!" Joanne stood up, then remembered something, "But Bruce, what about Jerald..."

"At a time like this, you're still worrying about others?"Bruce frowned slightly, glancing around at the increasing tension.

 "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish right now..."

"I..."

"Go!"

Bruce suddenly shouted.

Joanne shivered all over.

As if awakening from a dream, she looked at Bruce, then at Jerald, and then gritted her teeth.

"Okay, I'll go!"

After saying this, she didn't hesitate anymore, quickly turned around, and ran towards the dormitory.

"Joanne... Joanne, you can't leave!"

Watching Joanne's retreating figure, Jerald couldn't believe his eyes.

After experiencing so many days in the apocalypse, as an elite, he naturally adapted faster than others.

He didn't trust anyone, not even Bruce.

The only reason he came here with Joanne was that he didn't want to see the woman he liked falling into the hands of another man.

When he saw Jesse approaching, he instinctively went up.

Who knew that he couldn't even withstand a single kick from Jesse?

In this apocalyptic environment, Jerald knew better than anyone what it meant to be injured like he was.

But at the moment Joanne turned around, his heart was filled with unwillingness.

"Bruce, what the hell do you mean?"

Seeing Joanne leaving, Jerald covered his chest and angrily scolded Bruce, "Why did you let Joanne leave?"

Bruce just glanced at him, ignoring him.

Instead, his gaze refocused on the suddenly erupting Jesse.

"Ben, hurry up and help!"

Ben grumbled, but upon receiving the order, he rushed towards Jesse, using both hands and feet.

This Jesse, truly deserving of being the protagonist.

Even though he was on the verge of death, he could still erupt like this??

At this moment, Jesse somehow managed to elevate his combat power by more than one level!

Veins popped on his forehead, his skin and eyes turned crimson.Just like a monster that had gone berserk.

Black Handsome was defeated, and Malachi was being suppressed by the opponent.

Bruce dared not be careless, quickly ordering Ben to help, while tightly gripping the Andúril sword in his hand.

"Damn it, Bruce, you bastard, answer my question!!"

Seeing Bruce's indifferent expression, completely ignoring him, Jerald became furious.

During this period, he had been very comfortable in Bruce's team.

Not only was there plenty to eat and drink, but everyone was also polite to him.

Such days made him forget about Bruce's strength and made him forget that Bruce was the core of the team.

"What did you say??"

Hearing Jerald's angry shout, Bruce's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glanced at him.

It was just a normal turn of the head.

But in those usually clear eyes, there was no trace of emotion.

Only killing intent.

"I... I... I'm asking you why you let Joanne leave?"

Sensing something wrong in Bruce's expression, Jerald quickly changed his question.

"No, no, no, I meant what you said secondly?"

"I... I..."

Seeing Bruce asking this question with a cold expression, Jerald broke out in a cold sweat.

Only then did he realize that the guy in front of him not only killed monsters fiercely but also killed people.

"Br-Bruce, I was just in a moment of anger, I didn't mean it... I..."

Swish!

Before Jerald could finish his words, a cold light flashed past his neck.

Immediately afterward.

Jerald covered his neck, looking at Bruce with disbelief.

Blood flowed rapidly from his fingers.

"W-why..."

Because he hadn't drunk water for a long time, and his throat was severed by Bruce.

So his voice was hoarse and intermittent.

He didn't understand why he was killed just because he accidentally insulted the other party."You're so clever, you shouldn't have failed to realize it, right?"

With Bruce's reminder, Jerald instantly understood.

"...Joanne... It's Joanne... So you also have intentions towards Joanne..."

"Your role is merely to protect her while exacerbating the conflict between you and Jesse.

Otherwise, why do you think I've been keeping you around? Big guy?"

Bruce didn't look at Jerald, but sneered as he turned his head towards Jesse, who was displaying an overwhelming combat power in the arena.

"You're useless now, so... rest assured, Jesse fatally injured you just now, and I'll avenge you!"

After saying this, Bruce ignored Jerald.

He just tightened his grip on the Andúril sword in his hand, ready to find an opportunity to take down Jesse.

By this time, Jerald, lying by the bushes, had no strength left to call for help.

He only felt his vision getting blurrier, and his body growing more exhausted.

Every drop of blood flowing from his neck seemed to take away his strength and warmth.

As his body grew colder, Jerald's life came to an end.

His eyes widened, and even in death, he looked towards the direction where Bruce had left, with a face full of unwillingness.

Clearly, he died with unfinished business!

He never believed in Bruce.

But he never imagined that Bruce would kill him because of Joanne?

He was unwilling, truly unwilling.

But he wasn't the protagonist, he wouldn't have a chance to start over.

"Oh my God!"

"Ho... how could this happen..."

Watching the scene downstairs, Zara and the other three girls crouched behind the balcony, covering their mouths, afraid to make a sound.

Due to the mutation of plants and animals, the vegetation had become extremely lush.

Coupled with the fact that Jerald was kicked into the bushes after the greenery mutated.

So the others didn't see Bruce killing Jerald, but... they saw it.

"He... he actually killed the man who was with Joanne teacher??"

"First it was Jesse killing so many people, and now it's Bruce..."

"What's... what's happening to this world?"

The women were terrified, even Zara couldn't help trembling.

Seeing monsters kill was one thing.
