I Spread my Genes to Level Up in the Apocalypse

"Master Seraphine." Fern was shivering, her face pale.

She was the closest to Seraphine, so it was natural that she also felt the terrifying cold.

"Hmm." Seraphine just glanced at her and lightly pushed her away to the others.

"Now, will you be willing to talk?"

She looked straight at Ray.

"Nah," Ray shook his head. "I need to meet King. I have unfinished business planned for him."

His black eyes shone with a violent glow.

"Unfinished business?" Seraphine frowned. "Is it really only for King, then?"

"Yeah." Ray casually nodded his head.

"King isn\'t here," Seraphine spoke coldly.

"Then where is he?" Ray asked.

"He has gone with his subordinate to hunt undead," she shook her head.

"Oh, is that why there are so few awakeners here?" Ray didn\'t speak further, but countless thoughts flashed in his mind.

If they could occupy a place that should have been protected by the military and the government, naturally these ordinary people couldn\'t do it.

In the military, people are trained to kill. Compared to an average thug or even a dangerous criminal, they are no match for soldiers.

And King occupying this place alone?

Ray sneered. That was naturally not possible as well.

No matter how strong he is, he will still need subordinates to handle the situation unless he has thousands of clones of himself.

That was not likely to be the case; if it were, he would have been slaughtered by King already.

"Call King here then. I will settle my business with him, and you guys can do whatever you want," Ray chuckled.

"You cannot stay here," Seraphine narrowed her eyes. She would be a fool if she allowed an enemy to be so close to her.

"Really? But I will stay here. What are you going to do about it?"

"Are you deliberately provoking us? If King comes, I can inform you, but you must leave the base now," Seraphine\'s pupils flickered.

"No."

"Very well," Seraphine closed her eyes.

Ray felt the surrounding temperature decrease even more to the point that water would instantly freeze outside.

"We should have fought right from the start."

Ray pushed his legs with power, the ground trembling under his might, and then he shot forward towards her, delivering a light punch.

Even though he almost reached her in an instant, this time Seraphine was prepared for him, and an Ice Lance was thrown at Ray at the same time.

"Hmm?" Ray casually punched and destroyed the lance, his punch traveling unfazed towards her chest.

Dong!

Seraphine was sent back a few steps, but she was perfectly fine. Instead, Ray\'s hand was frozen, almost unable to move.

"I told you, you are not invincible," Seraphine spoke coldly.

"Really, I am not invincible?" Ray tightened his fist, and the ice broke effortlessly.

"Fire magic."

Ray focused on creating a mental image in his mind, and a big ball of fire materialized in front of him. His increased mental power, now reaching three digits, allowed for faster visualization of any object.

All the casting spells he needed for Magic and Arts had become much faster, and the power of the spells had also increased accordingly.

"Fast." Seraphine widened her eyes.

While she needed time to cast her Ice Lance, Ray cast that fireball almost instantly. Even more shocking was that he showed another skill.

"What kind of monster is he?"

Seraphine couldn\'t calm down for a moment.

Unfortunately, Ray wouldn\'t give her the luxury of time as he threw the huge goblet of fire towards her, reaching her in just a moment.

To this, she only sneered. The power of this fireball might seem impressive, but in the end, it was weak. Seraphine created a small Ice Lance and almost effortlessly destroyed the fireball as it melted away.

"You are a fool if you think—"

Before she could continue, a fist enlarged in her vision, growing bigger every moment.

Boom!

Ray punched her in the face. Seraphine\'s body bent, trying to use the ground to disperse the force, but the power of his punch was too much.

She was sent hurtling through the sky almost like she was flying before she crashed into the building walls, finally stopping after destroying at least eight walls.

"Whew," Ray looked far away, shielding his eyes from the sun with his hand. "I sent her far, huh."

"But not enough…"

He looked at his frozen hand. At the moment, some of the power of his punch was dispersed by the ice. If it hadn\'t, her head might have popped already.

"An A-class is just that…"

Ray scoffed. He had actually intended to fight her right from the start.

As he wanted to gauge the strength of an A-class Awakener before confronting King.

After all, everything he knew about the King was based on assumptions.

You only get one life; there is no redo button. If you\'re dead, you\'re dead.

Rather than letting tragedy happen, Ray preferred to be overly cautious, considering every possibility.

Although Ray himself had the potential of an A-class, he didn\'t have any A-class skills. It was just that all his skills combined gave him the potential of an A-class.

"Fern, was that your name?" Ray looked at the girl who had created the barrier.

"Yeah, what is it?" Fern said with disgust on her face, her eyes looking at Ray as if he were a lowly creature.

"Hey, hey." Ray raised his brows. "Do you know that I can kill you right now?"

"Kill me then. I believe in Master Seraphine. She will definitely protect me."

"Then I will be the villain." Ray\'s eyes flashed with ruthlessness as he slowly walked up to her, casually forming a small fireball and throwing it at a person who was trying to shoot.

In an instant, the person burned to ashes, and Ray reached Fern, raising his hand at an extremely slow pace.
