Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

"Would you go back if we just gave you your arrow back?"

Saurav, who knew how bad their situation was and how bad things could go now that Alex turned out to have a mobile egg, stepped forward without discussing it with the other leaders.

His words shocked everyone; even Alex went silent.

'Will I just leave if he gets back his arrow?' Alex thought to himself.

He wasn't sure. He didn't want to fight them as he was, but should he just leave empty-handed even though his weapon was stolen from him?

Shouldn't there be compensation for that?

But just as Alex was contemplating about it, he noticed something—they were all frowning. All of the leaders other than Saurav were frowning.

They didn't seem happy about Saurav's decision.

"What the hell??"

*Step**Step*...

The first one to speak up was, of course, Ragha.

He was a leader and a gangster to boot, so how could he just let it go when someone just walked over his face like this?

...*Step**Step*

"When the hell did you become the leader, huh?"

He walked in front of Saurav, tilting his head to the side, his brow raised, his lips parted, and he was fingering his ear. Proper gangster style.

Now, Saurav was frowning as well.

"I am doing this for the better of everyone."

Saurav answered, his determined gaze moving away from Ragha, turning back to look at the trees, waiting for Alex's answer.

"Everyone? Who are you talking about??"

His words, however, just made Ragha tilt his head to the other side, blocking Sarav's line of sight again.

Now Saurav was frowning real hard.

Ever since he had changed, Saurav has never been looked down upon, but right now, all he saw in Ragha's eyes were contempt and dissatisfaction.

But he didn't do anything. This wasn't the time to be fighting among themselves.

They had to do their best to not fight among themselves, as that might turn out to be the best turn of events for Alex.

"Of course, I'm talking about all of—"

Saurav, still frowning, turned toward the other leaders, spreading his hands, as if trying to show that he meant everyone, as in everyone who was here, when he found his words stuck in his mouth.

'W-What...?'

His eyes widened a bit as he turned behind, thinking that the other leaders would support him, only to see them frowning with discontent.

'Why?'

He couldn't understand it.

Wasn't this the best option?

They wouldn't have to fight that monster, who could just run away from them at any moment.

Yes, if they worked together, then they might be able to corner him, but what if he just decides to run away? Would they be able to do anything other than stare at his back as he gets further and further away from them?

Saurav didn't have hope to win this fight the moment it became clear to everyone that Alex's egg was mobile.

He knew that there was a chance of their previous strategy working in time. They could just keep sending people every now and then, and when they get a chance, the only chance they could get—Alex's sleeping time—they would attack.

There was no way a human could stay awake for three days straight; they would want to take a nap no matter what.

Even if Alex did stay awake for three days, there was just no way he would be able to stand a chance against all of them in that state.

Now things were different.

The monster was never trapped; it was waiting for its prey to walk in, but now that prey had irked the monster, it started to walk toward

"None of us want that."

Ragha, on the other hand, went on. His annoyance was clear in his voice, as he was really annoyed by the fact that Sarav thought, even for a second, that he could make decisions for everyone.

Did Saurav think that just because he thought that it was the best way, everyone thought the same?

"I lost my crew mates—so many of them—by his hands, and yet you want me to let go of that guy?"

Ragha questioned, his fists clenched, and his eyes looked straight into Saurav's.

Saurav was the one with the shortest number of people working under him among the five leaders, more like he had just a small group of people under him, already killed maybe.

He was just a leader because the others thought that he was strong enough to be one and that he had enough coins to be on the rankings, or else there were many people with some group members working under them.

Those people that he had under him were just some random guys he took in when he found out that he needed to be a group leader if he had to be a leader of this whole organization or sort.

Saurav didn't even remember their faces; that was how much he cared about them, but it was different for Ragha and the others.

Ragha cared a lot about his underlings, as many of them had been with him since he started his career as a gangster.

Alex, the guy who had killed many of them, was on the top of the kill list for him; there was no way he was letting him go after all this.

"W-What about you? Don't you think you've already brought us enough trouble? Don't you want to solve this peace—?"

Saurav, who heard Ragha's words and saw the guy's expression, knew perfectly well that he wasn't going to change his mind. That was why he turned toward the one responsible for all of this—Urmina.

She was responsible for all of this, so if she could get everything right without having any more people killed, wouldn't she agree to it?

She must have realized her fault, right?

"Shut the fuck up. I won't give it back."

His words, however, were again cut off, leaving nothing but disbelief on his face when he heard Urmina's sharp words and saw the hostile look in her eyes.

"I won't be spared no matter what I do, so there's no going back for me."

Urmina added, frowning at how easily Saurav thought that she would agree.

Did she look like a devil who suddenly had a change of heart and went to ask for mercy from God?

She knew that the arrow didn't seem much, but her skill never pointed her at the wrong thing. The skill that her title 'gold digger' gave her was just that important to her.

In her life, even before the apocalypse, she always had this skill. Her profit sense was always good.

And right now, that sense of her was telling her that the arrow was more than what it looked.

Let's just say that she returns it as Saurav expects her to. Would that change anything?

Would Alex simply let her go? Maybe he would for now, but what about later?

Later, she wouldn't have the other four of the leaders present to give her a hand in defeating Alex.

["You have to kill him. Right now. Do not miss this chance."]

The voice of her patron god telling her to not miss this chance just solidified her intentions.

"If you guys want to bend your knees to someone else, so it. I will die fighting if I have to. This is the best chance we had in killing that guy anyway."

With those words, Urmina presented her stance.

She wasn't going to hand over the arrow. She wanted Alex dead no matter what.
