Monster Apocalypse

Chapter 23 : The Last Holy grail General, Named 'Siege'

  Still in the same building, Switching to another room, or rather in a room designated specifically for guests, so there is only one bed, mirror and wardrobe. At this time Oliver was in that room, he was lying on the bed with chains tied on his hands and feet.

 A few moments later, Oliver regained consciousness and opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the dim light on the ceiling, then when he looked to the side, he felt very surprised because there was a female figure standing while staring at him with sharp eyes. The woman is Christa who is watching Oliver because she still feels suspicious and afraid that Oliver might do something bad in this place. Even Christa was seen holding a sword in her hand.

 With a feeling of nervousness, Oliver asked. "Hello miss ... If i may know, where am I right now? And why are my hands and feet tied? " Asked Oliver. 

 "Shut up. I will not let you do what you please here. Now, just prepare to die. "

 “Wh- what ?? Die?? Wait a minute Miss, I have no bad intentions. " Said Oliver feel anxiously.

 "I don't believe you."

 "Wh- why?"

 "Of course because you are a Gargoyle!" Said Christa.

 "O- oh, I see ... I can understand."

 "Is there a last word you want to say?"

 "I- I have a question."

 "Say it."

 "By the way, are you the daughter of Doctor Rengga?" Asked Oliver.

 "Yes, right." Christa replied.

 "Is Doctor Rengga safe now? And is he all right?"

 "Yes, he's fine."

 "Hmm, thank goodness ... Now you can kill me Miss." Said Oliver, while closing his eyes, and he was ready to be killed.

 Then Christa was silent for a moment, she was surprised because Oliver who is a Gargoyle looks happy and grateful for the condition of his father who has survived. Even Oliver was sincere if he was killed by Christa, he didn't seem to mind that at all.

 So because of that Christa asked Oliver again. “Why are you so calm even though right now you are facing death? Do you think I'm kidding? "

 “No, Miss, what else can I do? If you want to kill me because I'm a Gargoyle, then go ahead ... If you really hate Gargoyles, then you can take your hatred on me. Because I have accepted myself as I am, and I will also accept all the bad things that will definitely happen to me because of my identity ... It doesn't matter even though now I will be killed by you, because the most important thing for me is, I have succeeded in saving people who are precious to me, and maybe my struggle with Kevin should stop here. " Said Oliver.

“Hmm, you are really weird. As my father said, You are a Gargoyle like no other. "

 “I- I just want to live well. That's all I want. " Oliver replied.

 “… Now, I think I know why my father can think of you as special. I guess I'll also give you a little of my faith. " Said Christa.

 "Hah? Really ?? … Does that mean you won't kill me? ”

 “Yes, at least for now… I will make an exception for you. Besides that, you also worked hard to save my father. That's why I will allow you to stay here. ” Said Christa as she untied Oliver's hands and feet.

 "Thank you miss." Oliver was very happy.

 "But remember, that I will always be watching you."

 "Yes, I understand."

 A few moments later, meanwhile Kevin and Doctor Rengga were seen walking through all the rooms in this base, such as toilets, books room, storage sheds, research rooms, weapons manufacturing rooms, and others. Until finally they both arrived at a large and spacious room that resembled an indoor basketball court. The room was a training place and also weapons storage.

 In the room, there was displayed a backpack which is a portable wing, the wings on this backpack can expand and shrink according to the wishes of the user, besides that there are also other weapons such as swords, morning stars, iron clubs, sticks, pistols, and various daggers. Not only that, in this very spacious room there are also various training facilities, such as punching bags, barbells, treadmills, target boards, and boxing rings for one-on-one fights.

 There was also the rabbit with red fur sitting on the table while chewing a chocolate bar, then when Kevin tried to greet and touch the rabbit, the rabbit suddenly growled and prepared to spit fire at Kevin, so Kevin was startled and moved back off.

 "WOW... it seems he didn't want to be disturbed while eating."

 "Yes, now he's like a king in this place, hehhe." Said Doctor Rengga jokingly.

 "Oh yes Doctor, have you given him a name?"

 "Hmm, it is very difficult to name a red fur rabbit with the power of fire that comes from another dimension." 

 "Just give him a short and memorable name."

 "Hmm, alright. I'll give him the name 'Redbud'. "

 "Waahh very short, but it’s good." Said Kevin.

 Then while walking around, Doctor Rengga continued speaking. "In the past, this training ground was often used by several independent monster hunters who were Christa's comrades ... But since the Holy Grail and Roschi incidents, many of them have fallen, so now the only independent monster hunters who are still active here are Christa."

 "Is it true?"

 "I don't know, maybe there are still some other independent monster hunters out there, but we don't know their identities yet."

 "Hmm, yes. For example like me and Oliver, right? " Asked Kevin.

 "Yes, that's right ... I was even surprised to learn that you and Oliver had defeated George. Whoa that's amazing. "

 "But Doctor, there is actually a bigger problem I want to tell you about."

 "What is that?" Asked Doctor Rengga.

 It looks like Kevin will start informing Doctor Rengga about the future events. Currently Doctors Rengga and Christa still think that the big problem they are facing is the Holy Grail group, but actually besides that there is a bigger problem they have to face, namely the monster apocalypse.

But before Kevin would tell Doctor Rengga about it, suddenly Oliver and Christa came to their place. Christa walked behind Oliver, as if she were watching and guiding a prisoner. Therefore Doctor Rengga immediately asked her.

 "Christa, what have you done to Oliver?"

 "I didn't do anything to him, I decided to let him move freely, for now."

 "I thank you for being allowed to join this team." Said Oliver.

 "I also want to thank you for saving me, Oliver." Said Doctor Rengga, so it made Oliver smile.

 Then Kevin said, "And I also want to thank you for saving me, Christa." Said Kevin to Christa.

 "Don't be so familiar with me, chump. " Christa replied.

 "Looks like she's not the kind of friendly girl huh." Kevin muttered to Oliver.

 "What are you saying??!" Christa got angry and she grabbed Kevin's collar.

 "N- no. Forget what I said just now. I'm sorry. " Kevin immediately felt panic.

 Meanwhile, Oliver, who didn't want to get involved, immediately hid behind Doctor Rengga, and there was nothing they could do if Christa was angry.

 Then, Christa beat Kevin and made the atmosphere chaotic, until finally he let go and dropped Kevin's body to the floor, so now Kevin lies lying stiff with bruises on his head.

So after that, Doctor Rengga and Oliver shouted simultaneously. “AAAAHHH !!! Kevin is seriously injured again. "

 Meanwhile in other places, or rather in a casino that is located in a hidden location, the casino is quite crowded with uproar from gambling players consisting of various groups, from the middle class to the rich. They carry out gambling activities with great enthusiasm and joyful there, because there are many gambling games they can try to test their luck. Among them are slot machines, roulette, guess dice, poker tables, and so on.

 There was a room that was closely guarded by burly men, that room was a special room for casino's owner, which was none other than Siege, or rather one of the 3 Holy Grail Generals. And now he is only left alone as the Holy Grail General, because the other two Generals have been defeated and vanished, namely George and Roschi.

 Therefore, the next person to be contacted by the Boss of the Holy Grail, of course, was Siege, who was currently still busy counting money at his desk, the amount of money that had piled up in front of him was enormous, to the point that his figure was blocked by a pile of money, but Siege seemed to really enjoy his time counting all the money, because he is a Gargoyle who really likes money.

 Siege has the human form of a man in his 30s, with curly brown hair, he wears a white coat with an open chest, and his hands and neck are wrapped in very expensive gold jewelry. Coupled with the sunglasses he wears, his figure looks so fashionable and elegant.

 When calculating the income from his casino, Siege is very focused and should not be bothered, even if there are his subordinates who are noisy, he will get angry and beat them up.

But at that time, Siege, who was doing his favorite activity, had to be surprised by the arrival of his subordinates who suddenly opened the door.

 “Boss, boss !! Forgive me ..."

 But before his subordinate finished his sentence, Siege immediately threw the drink bottle at him, so the subordinate had to duck to avoid the throwing attack from Siege.

 "I told you, right now I don't want to be disturbed !!"

 "Sorry Boss, but this is a phone call from Big Boss Edgar ... He said your cell phone could not be reached so he called me." Said his men.

 "Of course I turned off my cell phone at this hour ... He should have known my habits!"

 "But Boss Edgar said that right now he has very important news."

 Then Siege was silent for a moment, and because he was curious, he immediately took his subordinate's cellphone, then accepted the phone call.

 "Hello Boss." Siege says hello.

 "Siege, why are you taking so long ??"

 "Boss should have called me later, now I'm busy calculating the results of our business income."

 “Forget about our business for now! I have important news for you ?? "

 "What is that? Is it the news about George's death? ... I already know about that. We just have to find his replacement. " Said Siege.

 "It is not that. But I just got news about Roschi's death. "

 “Wh- what ?? Now Roschi is dead too ?? Impossible."

 “Before Roschi died, she managed to find the research facility building belonging to NeoGen and get various rare monsters from there. Then after he informed me that all those monsters had been sent to our main base, I didn't get any more news from her for a long time, until finally I got the news about her death just now. " Said Edgar.

 “Well, I did have information that George was killed by a mysterious man with a lethal weapon, and a Gargoyle who betrayed his own people, but I didn't really care about it. But now I'm shocked by Roschi's death. " 

 “Yes, Roschi was killed by the same people. Their names are Kevin and Oliver "

 "What? ... How powerful are they actually? And how did they beat Roschi? "

 “I don't know, I don't know much about this guy named Kevin, but Kevin and Oliver are a threat to our group ... At first George was killed by Kevin and Oliver. After that I sent Roschi to hunt down and kill them both, but now Roschi has also been defeated and killed by both of them. "

 "I still can't believe it." Said Siege.

 "And now, as the last general of the Holy Grail, I am assigning you to hunt down and kill both of them."

Then, while feeling doubtful, Siege paused for a moment before answering the boss's order.

 “Hmm ... Come to think of it, it seems like a high-risk task Boss. We don't know what the opponent is capable of, so if we act recklessly like George and Roschi, then we will definitely die too ... I don't want to bet on things that are uncertain, and I don't like to underestimate my opponents. So, we'd better solve this problem my way, Boss. ”

 "Okay, explain to me. What do you want to do. "

 "Since Kevin and Oliver can get involved with George and even NeoGen, then I can conclude that they are both monster hunters who want to eliminate our existence, i mean the whole Gargoyle ... Therefore we better give them what they want."

 "What is that??" Edgar was curious.

 "We send all our men to hunt at night, so the attack rate of the Gargoyles will increase, that's why Kevin and Oliver will definitely come out to action, and we can keep them busy and then we direct them where we want to be. .. And that's where we'll finish them both. But the most important thing is, you and I have to work together on this, I don't want to do it alone. "

 "Hmm, but all this time we've always been hunting secretly according to my orders, so that our existence is always safe ... If we suddenly spread chaos like that, then there will be more victims from our group."

 “I understand Boss. You absolutely forbid us hunting openly. At first we did have Roschi that can finish off whoever you want, but now she's gone, so the chance for us to be able to hunt Kevin and Oliver is very thin ... Just this time, Boss, we're spreading chaos to lure them out. We have no other choice anyway, do we? The choice is they kill us first, or we kill them first. "

 “Hmm, you do have a point ... I think it's time we got more aggressive. And besides, currently the NeoGen Company is in chaos because one of its research sites was destroyed by Roschi. " Said Edgar.

 “Alright, since Boss has agreed, then I will arrange the time and place. I'll inform to you later. "

 "Oke. Now continue with your work. "

 "Yes Boss." Then Siege hung up the phone.
