After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World - Chapter 858

Chapter 858: Juni’s Vengeance (Part 2)
Victor pondered whether it was time to pull her back, but he knew she needed to vent everything to move on.

Juni naturally didn’t tell him the specific details of the assault—no victim would be comfortable. He did not want her to relive the experience either.

However, he had an idea and it was a lie to say that his heart wasn’t burning in anger for her. If he could, he’d have stabbed the man multiple times with his own blade.

However, he knew too well that Juni had to do it herself. She would not appreciate other people fighting her fights for her. To move on, she needed to do this.

The man’s face was melted at this time, and they could see the man’s burnt face muscles, and even a few peeks of his skull.

His body slowly stopped moving, no longer twitching, and they watched as the life drained out of him in front of their eyes.

Juni saw this and finally stopped. She was shaking from overexertion, but tears of relief pooled in her eyes.

She turned to look at her man with a smile, who sent her his own.

Vanessa, who was right next to Victor, frowned. She didn’t know Juni had a mutated ability and she couldn’t help but feel a bit jealous.

It was weak for now, but it was a killer when trained well. This meant that Juni’s place in their party would only increase—and not just because she was her brother’s woman.

Her eyes were focused on Cain, and her vision and angle managed to catch the man’s finger move just a little bit.

It was extremely subtle and the arm was on the other side of the body, with Vanessa just happened to be at the spot to get a glimpse of it.

She blinked at the sight. “Juni!” She immediately called to get the woman’s attention without thinking—though whether it was to warn or something else, she wasn’t entirely certain herself.

Her voice made the other woman turn to her a bit, and she was unable to react on time at the sudden movement that came afterward—no one was.

Cain suddenly moved and sat up, releasing a sharp weapon from his space as he did so.

Obviously, he was using the last bit of adrenaline in his system—in addition to the pain—to break the effects of the paralysis potion to move at least one more time.

Victor’s eyes widened at the realization, sprinting towards her.

“JUNI!”

Crow, who had been watching the whole time, released his arrow and it went straight to the man’s heart. It caused him to displace the blade a bit, but somehow the bastard still managed to continue moving.

Unexpectedly, Cain’s ability—rust—managed to create a little zone around him as a final instinct and the arrow head disintegrated before it could kill him.

Slash!

Victor’s eyes reflected the blade going through Juni’s body.

Crow immediately shot two more arrows, aiming at Cain’s eyes each. This time he no longer had any ability left and both arrows went through his head.

Victor immediately beheaded the man to make sure the cockroach didn’t rise, catching his lover before she fell down.

He immediately pulled out the blade and got her to drink all his remaining healing potion—after all, the flesh might heal around the object if they didn’t take it out.

The blade disintegrated and they couldn’t find the mind to care for it.

Everyone surrounded Juni, though giving enough space to breathe. They also took out their own healing potions and got her to drink it, dousing her wound itself.

Vanessa also kneeled down and used her ability, though she was extremely pale and shaky, her blood turning cold. Her mind was whirling in thought, panic dawning inside of her, and maybe a bit of guilt and remorse.

Was this her fault? Did she actually end up helping Cain?

No one was privy to her thoughts, everyone’s attention was fixed on the woman on the ground.

In the end, while all the treatments, slowed down the bleeding, it couldn’t stop it.

The wound had become smaller and was partially clotting, but it was like a force was keeping the wound open. Judging by how paler and paler Juni was becoming, what they were doing wasn’t helping much.

Victor’s cool had already crumbled, he whipped his head to Vanessa and then to Eagle. “Why?!”

“It was made with his ability,” Eagle said with a deep frown. “It must’ve been a skill of sorts, but I’m not familiar with it. It’s best to get the aborigines to see it,” he said. “We need to take her to the hospital as soon as possible.”

Victor nodded and he grabbed Juni, heart stopping when he felt her getting colder and colder.

“Hmnnn…” she moaned, and flinched, as if having soft spasms. He carried her up as she gasped, as if finding it difficult to breathe.

“Juni—Nononono…” His voice cracked as he settled her in his arms, preparing to leave. “I’m going back to Alterra,” he said, and another guard was assigned to follow after them in order to ensure no mob would get in the way.

Victor disappeared, sprinting, using whatever health he had to get to Alterra as soon as humanly possible.

As he ran with her in his arms, the symptoms intensified, and Victor could only pray that Juni would be able to hold on.

She was a strong woman—this shouldn’t be able to take her life!!

Juni! Please be alright!
