I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 383 Raid (3)

Chapter 383 Raid (3)

Meanwhile, someplace else...
The remaining mercenaries were packed inside a room. It wasn't the one where Ashton had left them, but another one that was located at a much lower level. The room they had previously been in was attacked by the terrorists.
But thankfully, it was a relatively small group so they managed to take care of them before the terrorists could realise what was going down. Sadly, it was also at that moment Avvo got separated from the group.
None of them knew how, but Avvo was captured by the retreating terrorists. As much as the rest of the mercenaries wanted to rush out and help her, saving Eula was their one and only goal. They couldn't do anything more than hope for the best and keep working on saving Eula.
After that, they found a much safer room and decide to hide there till they heard from Reaper. However, their luck ran out as they were soon found out again. The ship might have been big, but there were only a handful of places for them to hide.
"Tsk, they are onto our tails again." Vimur whispered, "I shouldn't say this, but it almost feels like someone is telling them where we are hiding."
The accusation did not sit well with the rest of them. But they knew there was some truth to his words. The places they were hiding weren't that easy to look for, still, the terrorists were effortlessly able to find them every time.
"We are running out of places to hide," Vimur whispered in the radio that connected him to the mermen, "I think those bastards are already onto us."
The others realised what he was up to and didn't contradict him. The strategists were the only ones Vimur had been informing about the places they had been to or the location they were about to leave for.
Surprisingly enough, 5 or 10 minutes later, suspicious people would show up around the spot they had been at. That happening once or twice could be chalked up to coincidence, but when the same shit began happening time and time again, it would be obvious there was something wrong going on.
There could be two reasons behind this. Either it was someone in their room feeding information to the terrorists, or it was one of the two strategists. Thankfully, it was easy to find out who it was.
Vimur continued speaking into the communicator, "We'll be escorting Eula to the floor below, right next to the stairs. The dark corner should be enough to hide her and a couple of others. In the meantime, the rest of us would act as decoys to keep them away from her."
After a long silence, he did what he had to. Little did he know, there was bigger trouble heading his way.

Back near the docking area...
Three creatures walked out of the portal, each unlike the one from before. One shared a resemblance with a four-armed giant ape, while the other was a ghastly beauty in her own right. It was the last creature that made the terrorists panic.
He was a humanoid creature, but he wasn't unlike any creature Richard had ever come across or heard about. But strangely enough, Richard wasn't interested in any of them. There was only one thing going on inside his head...
'A necromancer... how the hell did an undead bastard from earth end up here?'
Despite fighting amongst themselves in space, the humans had one enemy they would readily set their differences aside for. It was the mutants who took their home away from them. That being said, there were no known encounters with the mutants in space, then who was the one standing in front of him?
'He doesn't look like an undead either... but he has to be one since he is using the power of necromancy. Someone alive can't possibly tame the dead, no matter what...'
The more Richard thought about it, the weirder the situation became. But before he could think about it anymore, his crewmates began talking amongst themselves.
Not only were they talking, but they slowly began to back away from the necromancer. Nothing good will ever come out of messing with someone who had mastered death in the first place.
"Celeste, find Eula and make sure she is safe. But do not reveal yourself to anyone, is that clear?" Ashton instructed the seductress, "Gokung, make sure none of them can escape and as for you... Atlas, relax and learn how I do things. I can't have you rampaging through the spaceship."
The undead Xyran was a bit taken aback. Even after death, his craving to fight and kill was nowhere satisfied. Yet, his master wanted him to sit back and not fight. But, he had little control over his master's command so he decided to do as he was told and not fuck with someone as frightening as Ashton.
"You... how did you get here?" Richard finally spoke up, "My men are stationed all over the ship. They would have reported me the moment they saw you-"
"I'm sure they would have done so... if they saw me." Ashton coldly replied, "Even you should have known what happened to them, or are your eyes that weak they can't even see the obvious?"
It was only when Ashton mentioned it did Richard saw it. He was too preoccupied with Ashton's and his summons sudden appearance he didn't notice the obvious bloodstains all over Ashton's clothes.
'He killed them all? All of them... how the hell is that even possible? This kid... he is something else.'
Ashton was no longer as reckless as he had been when he was on earth. Nor was he arrogant enough to blindly jump into a fight. He knew the terrorists were going to be quite strong, but he also knew these people were more like intergalactic thugs, more than anything.
Despite being part of a strong organisation, most of these people were at D-grade or below. Which made it easier for him to deal with them. Statistics seemed to back up his knowledge as well.
After all, despite having superpowers, it was rare to come across a being having B-grade or higher combat rating. So Ashton took the bet and decided to end them, before the ants ganged up, and became a nuisance to him.
But before Ashton could take care of Richard and his party, the ship trembled once again. Ashton instinctively looked outside the window and saw another ship had arrived there. Only this one was much bigger than the previous two...
'Damn it! There's more of them...'
