The Soul System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 28: Let Me Beat You Up

"That's just good. It seems that the whole group has gathered together. This is going to make things easier for me. At least, I won't have to go around trying to look for those that had survived so that I can deal with them."

Immediately after he said that, Adam didn't waste his breath anymore. Instead, he began attacking them. As a person who was already at the 3rd level, he was far stronger than the group that was attacking him.

After experiencing several battles that lasted for hours, dealing with a group of youths was not something difficult for him.

As a berserker, the strength that Adam possessed could not be underestimated. Each and every punch of his carried a lot of force and energy.

It was clear right from the beginning who held the upper hand. Adam, with his imposing stature and confident demeanor, faced off a group of seven, without showing any hint of backing off.

With unmatched speed and agility, Adam swiftly dodged their feeble attempts to land a punch. His punches, on the other hand, connected with blazing force, effortlessly knocking each youth to the ground. The sound of bones crunching echoed through the air as his strikes landed with precision.

As the fight progressed, it became apparent that Adam's strength was unparalleled. One by one, the youths fell victim to his overwhelming power, unable to defend themselves against his brutal onslaught.

Their futile efforts to overpower him were met with swift retaliation, leaving them battered and bruised. They were no match for his immense skill and experience.

Michael who had just come back to his senses watched the scene with his mouth agape. He couldn't believe that Adam was that strong. He had thought that he was perhaps considered amongst the strongest people present, but now, he knew that he was wrong.

Even though he had a lot of hope that the group that he was leading would be able to overpower Adam with their superiority in terms of numbers, soon, his thought was thrown out of the window as he realized that the situation was already irreparable.

It was also during this moment that he thought of running away formed in his mind. But, with his pride as a leader of one of the factions that had been recently formed, he couldn't run away.

Even though he was sure that he would be at a disadvantage in a fight between Adam and him, he didn't believe that Adam wouldn't be tired by the time that he finished the fight with the seven youths that he was facing.

For that reason, he continued standing on the side, waiting for an opportune moment for him to strike.

Despite their desperation, the group of youths could do nothing but watch in awe as Adam dominated the fight. His blows were calculated, his movements fluid, and his resolve unwavering. His sheer determination to emerge victorious was evident in each strike he delivered.

With every punch and kick that he threw, he remembered the moment that the two of them had suffered. Even though they did not go around trying to make enemies, who would prevent others from making enemies out of them?

Michael and his group were in the latter category. Since Michael was previously in a gang, he had wanted to be a leader. And, when he saw that Adam had a nice physique, he wanted to take him as his lackey.

But of course, coming from a rich family, there was no way that Adam was going to agree to follow someone like him. That was the arrogance that had already been ingrained in his bones.

Since Adam refused the offer, he obviously slapped Michael in the face in front of many people. For that reason, Michael began making life difficult for both Henry and Adam.

Just thinking about the opportunity that had been presented to him today, there was no way that Adam was going to hold back at all. So, each and every punch that he landed was aimed to make sure that those that received the attack would undergo tremendous pain.

Bloodied and bruised, the youths eventually surrendered to Adam's relentless assault. Their bodies lay scattered across the ground, defeated and exhausted. Adam, standing tall amidst the chaos, surveyed the aftermath of the one-sided encounter, triumphant yet somber.

After he was done, he turned around and looked at Michael who was still gaping at the scene in front of him. Even though he believed that Adam was currently tired, his heart had already began wavering.

He himself was sure that, if he faced the group of youths together, then he would be no match for them. But for Adam, facing the group of seven was like a walk in the park. He had beaten them one-sidedly, without giving them any chance of retaliating.

In fact, during the whole encounter, none of the youths managed to land even a single punch on Adam. And this time, even though he was wearing an armor, he didn't depend on it.

Even though he was angry, this time, since he was having a target, he was able to control himself well. When facing this group of delinquents, he believed that if they managed to land even a single strike on him, then, there would be no different from suffering humiliation.

After he was done with the group, he completely ignored their wailing and looked at Michael who was standing a distance away.

"Now that we are done with a bunch of trash, why don't you deal with the main dish?" Adam asked with a smile on his face as he began moving towards Michael.

Michael felt his heart go cold when he looked at Adam's cold stare. Even though he wanted to retreat, he still stopped and gritted his heart as he replied.

"Just because you have defeated a bunch of useless trash doesn't mean that you are strong. Unlike them who are just level 1, I am a level 2 mutant warrior. So, let me show you the difference between us." Immediately after he said that, Michael completely ignored the fear that he was feeling in his heart, and attacked Adam.

During the time of selecting a profession, he had decided on becoming a spearman. But, due to the fact that he didn't possess any weapon, he could only attack Adam with his fists.

Adam smiled sadistically as he watched Michael approaching. There was a big difference between a level 1 and a level 2 mutant warrior. Unless one was boosted by great equipment, they would not be able to defeat the person who was at a level higher than them.

And just like there was a wide gap between level 1 and level 2, there was also an even wider gap that existed between level 2 and level 3.

Even though it was true that Michael was rushing forward with all his speed, in Adam's eyes, he was quite slow. So, Adam waited until Michael arrived in front of him.

When Michael saw that Adam didn't react, he thought that Adam had been frightened by the show of strength that he had demonstrated. So, without giving Adam any other chance, he struck forward with his fist.

Adam also reacted when the fist finally arrived close to his face. With incredible speed, he was able to stop the punch with his right hand.

When he grabbed the hand, he immediately used his strength to put pressure on it.

Michael who had not expected that Adam was capable of blocking his attack suddenly felt immense pain in his right hand. The fingers that was still balled together suddenly began feeling the pain as if they were going to be dislocated in the next second.

The first reaction that Michael had was to try and yank his hand away. But, no matter how hard he tried, he was surprised to find out that there was nothing that he could do. He was far weaker than Adam.

"Now, now, now. I have always wanted to get a chance to beat you up, and I have been granted the chance in that, the first person that I am meeting with an evil intent towards me is actually you. So, why don't you play with me for a while?" Adam asked with a smirk on his face.

At this moment, Michael had already begun panicking. Even though he had been expecting that Adam was strong, he had never expected that he was strong to this level.

Now, he didn't even begin regretting about the actions that he had taken before the apocalypse descended. Instead, he was already beginning to regret the fact that, he had faced Adam when he was not yet strong enough.

'Had I known that Adam was this strong, I would have definitely waited until the time that I was strong enough, to be able to dominate the entire facility, before finally coming after him.' Michael couldn't help but regret in his heart.

As for those on the surface, there was no way that he was going to lose his calm in front of Adam.

"So what if you are strong? Do you think that you can rule the entire facility? Even if you beat me now, there is going to be someone who is going to beat you next." Michael stated viciously.

He had already known that his fate wasn't going to be good. But, since that was going to be the case, then he was going to try and rile up Adam, to make sure that he went ahead and faced the other factions.

So far, he himself knew that he was not the strongest person that was present in the facility. And for that reason, he wanted to find a way that he was going to make Adam become an enemy of the strongest person present in the facility.

"Hehehe, what does I facing others who may be stronger than me concern the matter that we are dealing with now? Forget about that for a moment and let me beat you up." Adam snickered as he said with disdain in his voice.

Immediately after he finished saying those words, he lifted up his left hand, and prepared himself to throw a punch.

"Hold it there!" But just before Adam could land a punch on Michael's disgusting face, an arrogant shout reached his ears.
