Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

Alex, who wasn't sure how strong he was, soon realized that he might be much stronger than the goblins as he rushed toward Ridha.

'They seem slow.'

This is what Alex thought as he moved at his full speed.

The goblins, who were too fast for others to react, were slow for him.

Alex just nodded inwardly.

He could tell that as well, but he wasn't sure how much difference some level would make.

'Looks like 1 or 2 levels difference is a lot as well.'

Alex concluded.

But then his eyes sharpened, and his brows frowned.

He saw the goblins were about to take off the only clothes left on Ridha's body, so he gritted his teeth, and...

*Glare*

He released his killing intent.

Although he had thought of not using his skill unless necessary, the situation didn't look good, so he stunned them.

"Kek?!"

"Kor?!"

The goblins froze in fear, unable to move or even look at the preparator.

The killing intent worked based on the power difference, and right now, goblins were much weaker than Alex, making it easier for Alex to stun them for a longer time.

'10% of my mana got used up...'

Alex muttered inwardly as he looked at the stunned goblins, but then he shook his head and tightened his grip on the dagger hilt.

10% mana of a level 5 was needed to stun 7 level 1s or maybe one level 2 was among them, but still, it was a bit too much, or so Alex thought.

He didn't know how rare these types of area-of-effect abilities were.

Stunning an entire group of enemies, even for a second, can be a table-turner in a large group battle. But well, Alex was not someone who liked working in groups, so it was not unjustified that the amount of mana usage was too much for him.

*Sling*

When Alex was just 2 meters away from the goblins, who were almost standing on Ridha's body, he roasted his dagger, with its blade facing outward.

"KILL ME!! I DON'T WANT THIS!! JUST KILL ME-"

The desperate cries of Ridha continued. She didn't know that the goblins were stunned, she could still feel their hands on her naked body, but...

*Slash*

A slashing sound was heard as Alex swung his dagger at them, but then his eyes, just like the people watching, went wide.

*Ssslick!* X4

The 30-centimetre-long blade cut through 4 goblins' necks like air….

*Thud**Spurt* X4

The heads of the goblins fell to the ground and the green blood of the goblins spurted out, covering Ridha's naked body and cutting off her desperate plea.

'Huh? What's this?'

Ridha, who was crying out for help, started panicking when she felt the green liquid flowing down her body.

"What is this?! What're they doing?!

SOMEONE!! PLEASE!!

I don't want to be-"

Ridha's panicking and distressed yell was heard again, breaking everyone out of their shocked state.

'What?!'

'How's he that strong?!'

'Can we do it as well??'

'Does he have a very strong skill…?'

'Is he special?'

'The protagonist?'

'Milf hunter…?'

Everyone in the area had different thoughts.

They came to different conclusions, some even came to a conclusion that Alex might be the protagonist of the story, and some came up with the title they thought was the strongest, but one thing was common.

They were all stupified by the show of power Alex displayed. Well, except for one person.

'Why not me?!'

It was Rohit, who now had blood flowing out of his fist because of how hard he was clenching it.

His teeth were making a grinding sound that even the people around Rohit heard but were too shocked by Alex's actions to even notice.

..........

Alex, the one responsible for all of this, was also shocked.

He stood still, staring at his hand and the dagger with a surprised frown.

The AI commented and Alex nodded his head.

In the last attack, he didn't even feel like he was cutting through something, just like the time with the undead.

But when he was fighting with the undead, his slashes were a bit rougher, and sometimes they got stuck as well since the undead flesh was sometimes rotten and sometimes solid.

"What is this?! What're they doing?!

SOMEONE!! PLEASE!!

I don't want to be-"

But just like others, he soon heard the panicking cry of Ridha, and he finally turned back.

*Grip*

He stared at the remaining 3 goblins stunned around Ridha, and then the ones that were moving toward her.

All of them were now looking at him with rage building up in their eyes.

Alex, who saw that...

*Slash*

Just slashed the air with his dagger before running toward the remaining stunned goblins.

Yes, the goblins were now angry at him, and they wanted to kill him, but that was what he wanted.

He wanted more and more goblins to come at him, after all…

'More goblins, more coins.'

And Alex wanted more coins.

*Woosh*

With a woosh, Alex rushed toward the goblins again, and just like before...

*Slash* X3

Slashed the heads of the remaining three goblins.

*Thud**Spurt* X3

Again, the blood spurted out, and the heads of the goblins fell, but this time Ridha didn't scream.

This caused Alex to frown.

It was possible that Ridha was confused about what was happening, or maybe she already guessed what was happening, but still...

'Why did she go quiet..?'

The AI answered Alex's question, causing his frown to loosen.

He didn't want to find out that the second time he tried to save someone, they died as well.

Alex surveyed the surroundings and saw goblins rushing toward him with raging expressions. Then he looked at Ridha lying on the ground, defenceless.

He looked back and forth between the goblins and Ridha before he sighed.

'Sigh….'

And then he bent down with the intention of picking Ridha up, but...

"Hey, you!!

What're you doing, touching a naked and defenseless lady?!"

A yell filled with anger and frustration was heard, causing Alex to freeze.

He slowly stood up straight, his brows knitted together.

'That army officer…'

It didn't take long for him to find out who the owner of the shout was.

Only one person was looking at him with anger in his eyes, after all.

The others were just too shocked by his action and were staring at the guy.

'Has he gone mad?'

'Did he not see how that guy killed the goblins?'

'He's the protagonist; don't go against him.'

Many thoughts were coming into the people's heads, but they didn't voice them out; they just stood still.

Alex could tell that Rohit was an officer in the army; his body language and demeanour told it all.

But, even if he was an army officer, he didn't have the right to yell at Alex, not when all he did was stand there and watch how Ridha screamed desperately.

So, Ales's cold eyes just stared at Rohit, and at first, Rohit also stared back with the same intensity.

The area turned completely silent; not a single sound other than the rushing footsteps of the goblins was heard, and their screeches were heard.

Rohit was angered by the fact that Alex stole the spotlight that should've been his, so he just wanted that image of Alex to shatter.

He wanted people to support him, but when he saw the eyes of people who were looking at him as if he were an idiot, he realized something.

'Ah…'

It was not the normal world; it was an apocalypse.

He was not an army officer, protected by the law.

Just like everyone here, he was another human trying to survive the apocalypse.

And just as those things settled down in his mind, Alex's gaze turned heavy on his body.

His head automatically started lowering, and his body started trembling.

'He will kill me...'

The eyes of Alex, the eyes of a killer—those eyes scared Rohit.

He was blinded by rage and envy before, so he forgot that if Alex wanted to, he could just kill him right now.

Police, law, and court?

None of them existed now, and even if they did, they would have bigger things to deal with.

The silence, however, didn't last for long.

"Look out!"

The silence was shattered by a girl's scream filled with warning.
