Chapter 8 - chapter 8: a cost for victory

From a far distance, a large jet-black spaceship could be seen flying to Earth's direction.

"Hehehe. ", a deep voice echoed. "We have finally arrived to our next victim's home. ".

***

"This is more like the first time I have ever witnessed the power supply go down in years now. ", Aron said to Ejilah with his voice hardly above a whimper.

"Are you so dumb to understand that isn't just some simple power supply going down. ", Ejilah said calmly. "Even our phones shutdown, it shows that something big is happening. ".

Just then people outside the resultant started shouting. "Monsters. ", "please help us. ".

"What da--, ". Aron mumbled being cut shut by Ejilah.

"The aliens___ there have attacked us. ", Ejilah said. It wasn't showing in his face, but Aron could tell that deep down inside Ejilah was worried.

Suddenly a human skull flied into the resultant breaking through the glass window, blood covered everywhere.

"Jes. ", somebody eating in the resultant shouted.

But it was so hard for some kind of people to see somebody die for the first time with their eyes.

But that wasn't all of it, the doors burst opened. A group of four black tall ugly creatures with big head, many long tentacles in their body, about 5 eyes glowing white with bloodlust walked into the resultant.

"Everybody run. ", somebody shouted.

"Let's have fun. ", Aron said with a smirk on his face.

"Do you have your gun. ", Ejilah asked Aron.

"Yep. ", Aron replied.

"Support me from a far, I'm having a bad feeling about their strength level. ", Ejilah said as the fear of the unknown took it's tour on him.

Suddenly a notification appeared in Ejilah's front.

[A new race has been detected ]

[Earth has been invaded ]

[New Quest: save the world ]

[Level 1 aliens detected ]

Level 1 appeared in front of all the aliens head.

"So their strength are shared into levels. ", Ejilah thought. "I'm having a bad feeling about this. ".

The number of aliens that entered the room were 4. One went to be killing the people trying to escape, it was clearly having fun.

2 were being shot continuously by Aron as a form of distraction. The bullets were hardly even injuring them. Aron was holding two shotguns.

"If I continued shooting them with the help of others I will be able to kill them. ", Aron thought. Before he used to think aliens will be something capable of destroying mountains with just their fists, but now he was glad that there weren't that superior to humans.

While Ejilah on the other was thinking the opposite.

"If the weakest of them can hardly be killed by bullets, then what about the stronger ones. ", Ejilah thought.

Ejilah focused on the last one.

"Kill that thing, I don't have unlimited ammo. ", Aron shouted from a distance away.

"Humans are weak. ", the alien said in an deep voice. "I thought this planet was going to be fun. ".

But Ejilah didn't understood what he was saying, because he was speaking another language totally different from any earthly language Ejilah has ever heard before.

Ejilah and the alien charged forward, their fists both collided, no one was stronger in terms of strength. But there were both shocked.

"He has up to 15 strength, just like me. ", Ejilah thought.

"I have never seen any human this strong before. ", the alien thought.

But the alien had a advantage that Ejilah didn't, the aliens long tentacles flied to hit Ejilah. There were just too fast and many for Ejilah to dodge.

The tentacles hit Ejilah and sent him flying in the air. Ejilah fell and hit a table filled with food and drinks, breaking all the glasses.

"EJILAH. ", Aron shouted.

[Your life force is being sucked ]

[-1 from all stats temporary ]

[Note: if the tentacles continues hitting you, the minus is going to become permanent ]

[-2 HP ]

[HP: 8/10 ]

"Sh*t. ", Ejilah thought.

"Don't worry about me. ", Ejilah replied. "Just continue keeping them at bay. ".

Ejilah stood up with blood covering his clothes, from his own wounds.

Ejilah picked up a broken glass and held it like a dagger. This was a dangerous weapon in the hands of someone as skilled as Ejilah.

Ejilah charged again, this time dodging all the tentacles that came his way.

'since I had the system, I have always practiced for this day. In fantasy books and movies, other races are always superior to humans, meaning there had super powers, unimaginable strength, agility, stamina and all that. So I had to think of a way to always defeat anything that comes my way, weather stronger or supernatural and this is my way. ', Ejilah thought.

Ejilah stabbed his glass made digger into the aliens eye, green blood flowed out.

"Figured out your eyes will be the weakest part in your body. ", Ejilah said calmly.

It doesn't matters if you play dirty or backstabbed your enemy, all that matters is if you survive and win.

"Haaa. ", the alien shouted in anger, making it loss focus.

Ejilah didn't let that chance to waste, he didn't had the luxury to. Ejilah bought out a gun hidden beneath his belt and shot into straight into the aliens mouth.

The aliens vision started turning black, it knew it was going to die. But it didn't wanted die alone, so it took the chance of Ejilah putting his guild down to stab Ejilah's chest with one of his tentacles.

Blood sprayed everywhere as there both fell to the ground in pain.
