Finding Melissa!

With one step, the core of the body, 'the waist', practically has to instantly explode with force. But at the same time, the waist has to naturally send out another wave of force when the power from the muscles reaches the wrist. These two forces connect and reach the wrist together.

"PUCHI!"

The ghost blade drew a cold light across the vast sky.

"Indeed, I can exert another force. With these two forces combined, 70 + 70, which is 140% of the strength" Ezra also felt it. His body can't release anymore force after the first stage.

However, this was already pretty good.

It's pretty hard to learn the "Nine Sky Thunder Blade", but he was able to naturally enter the first stage on the border of life and death. It seems that there's still hope to keep climbing up in the future.

He closed his eyes and muttered.

"Status."

Suddenly-

"AO WU~~"

An enraged sound of a howling wolf carried from somewhere below. The members of the Death gate squad, that were resting under the starry sky, all woke up from shock.

"It's the howl of a Blood Ripper!" said Faze seriously.

Ezra was also shocked. If the Blood Ripper was also out there with the horde, there's no way for Mellisa to survive them.

Ezra took his binoculars and looked towards the sound of the howl at the edge of the rooftop.

But couldn't see anything.

"Don't you think we should go see if we can help her?"

John couldn't help but say. Although his voice was weak, the fact that Mellisa stayed behind to help them block the zombie horde weighed heavily in each of hearts.

Ezra had really wanted to stay but his survival would surely be questioned. Even then, he didn't feel good being indebted to someone, not to mention a lady saving his ass.

Faze seem to have also felt the same way, likewise Ezra.

"I will go check. If she's alright, I will help her and bring her here." Ezra stood up and grabbed large machete.

"You can't go alone, count me in." Faze gave no room for Ezra to deny as he directly wore his silver gloves stained with zombies black blood.

Even John whose shoulder had just been arranged stood up.

"Sit your ass down. You've been severely injured." Faze immediately moved to stop him.

"The horde should have calmed down now since they are simply mindless zombies. You will need someone who can remember the exact route to where we left Mellisa."

Faze's face turned ugly as he tried to remember how to get there but ultimately didn't day anything anymore.

"Fine, you can follow us. But you must stay in the shadows. No risking you life for anything."

Faze warned.

The team then set our once more. This time though, they were even more careful.

Ezra didn't give any zombie a single chance to growl before arriving like a ghost and m* decapitating them with his swift blade.

The others couldn't help but be impressed.

"So this is Ezra's true strength." John muttered with a sigh. Faze was astonished.

Of course it was because Ezra's bodily limit had been lifted and had increased. Because of his second heart, he was now more than twice as efficient as before.

This continued on for almost 3 hours because of their caution but then, they arrived at the scene of the broken wall.

There were various corpses in the floor, piled up like some sort of step with their head decapitated or punctured through.

Ezra crouched and touched the remnants of the shattered wall. Dark blood mixed with fresh blood stained his fingers.

He placed his finger a few centimeters to his nose and said softly.

"She's injured."

Both John and Faze's face couldn't help but change at Ezra's words.

"Do you think she survived?" Faze said in a low voice.

"She's one of the top potential in our Death gate academy, it isn't easy to kill someone like that." Ezra snorted as he took in a deep breath while standing up.

Suddenly, he paused and sniffed deeply.

"Suuuu!"

Faze and John noticed his odd behavior. "What happened?"

"Can you smell her?"

"Shh!"

Ezra held his hand for them to keep quiet and proceeded to sniff even more.

The he turned towards a certain direction on the street. "I smell blood. It's Mellisa's blood but seemed to be with another type of blood."

"She might be battling with the hunter if she had survived." Faze suddenly bursted our with strength.

His bulky body charged as he leapt upwards, moving through the roofs of various buildings.

John didn't delay too. Saving Mellisa's life was the priority at the moment. Since she saved theirs, it's only right for them to save hers without hesitation!

Ezra remained where he was with a tight frown on his face. Something was off with the smell but he couldn't say what.

Suddenly, his let lose a cold smile with his strength right now, who could actually successfully kill him?

Figures flashed through the roof of the deserted city. Their speed swift and their aura startling.

While they be radiating miniscule amounts of 'Dust', indicating that they were no Super soldier. But their speed and strength they displayed, crossing twenty meters in a single leap was enough to rival a newly created Super soldier.

All of a sudden, the moving figures slowed down and settled at the roof of a sky scraper whose side seemed to have been cleaved through by a gigantic knife.

The figures stood up top the half sliced building, gazing down the into the street.

"There!"

One of the figures whispered and the other two turned their focus at the street below.

These figures were actually Ezra, Faze and the wounded John.

Because they weren't willing to see Mellisa die and sacrifice hd life for theirs, they came back.

Ezra had pointed a street away from them. From their vantage pout of view, they could only see several dots as it was almost a kilometer away.

Despite being a genetic soldier, ones senses still had to be honed in other to acquire true sight or an acute hearing.

"That's Mellisa, I can recognize her figure anywhere." Faze said with an excited expression.
