BXBX NOVEL Chapter 85 Recovery
From the commissioner\'s abduction to the combined rescue mission, then the beast invasion and the great battle of advanced mystic warriors in Bowling Town, a lot happened in just 2 days.
In 2 days, foundations that were built across decades were destroyed.
Obedin City suffered a lot as its huge protective wall now had cracks and breaches through different parts.
With the nuisance of the aerial beasts taking the lead, the mystic beasts that invaded the city wrath a lot of damage. Lots of the high-rise buildings which showcased Obedin\'s identity as a city were already leveled.
Thousands of soldiers died in the job of protecting the city.
When the situation got too dire, even the able-bodied civilians came out to help. Some climbed their roofs as through the self-protective weapons that they had, they joined in fighting the beasts.
For the civilians to join the fight showed how dire the situation in the city was. Apart from the soldiers who died in the thousands, over a hundred civilians also fell to the ruthless rampage of the mystic beasts.
This was a dark day in the history of this city that they would never forget. But that was already in the past, now was time to slowly recover.
Obedin City suffered a lot as they faced the main invasion army of the beasts, but they were not the ones that suffered most, Bowling Town suffered most.
3 other nearby towns were also attacked by the stray beasts that left the city but Bowling Town received the lion\'s share out of the lot.
With only a basic police force unit and a single Basic mystic warrior, Bowling Town stood no chance as the rampaging beasts stampede through them.
Thousands were recorded dead in the town as the only survivors were those that hid and escaped the detection of the beasts and those that detected the danger ahead of time and fled the town.
All in all, Bowling Town was now a bloody cemetery.
The fierce battle between the 4 advanced mystic warriors only escalated things as the foundations of the town were literally torn apart by the shockwaves.
There was barely any standing construction in the town anymore, the town was now like a ruin from an ancient age, it was inhabitable at the moment.
After their battle, as the Butcher Mama returned to Obedin City alongside the principal and the Wandering Moon Queen, they saw everything as soldiers worked hard to recover the corpses of the dead civilians of this town.
Broken limbs filled everywhere, blood dyed the ground red, and even the sun now had a shade of red to it, today was a sad day to all.
"Bring everybody that you can find to Obedin City!" Principal Dominic commanded after meeting with the leader of the excavation teams.
"We\'ll be organizing a mass burial for them all".
"Also, bring every survivor to Obedin City for treatment".
…
On getting back to Obedin City, the Butcher Mama refused to attend the mass burial despite the huge role that she played in the city surviving this disaster.
She had seen enough of wars and death, she got embroiled in this one reluctantly and the aftermath only reminded her of why she left it all behind.
Alongside her 2 buddies, they drank till stupor.
After trying to no avail to drag her along, a sad and heavily injured Master Fixten had no choice but to attend the mass burial alone.
The mass burial was done outside the city where all the survivors could attend. Soldiers, civilians, and survivors were all present to send their heroes and the unfortunate souls who died in this disaster to the afterworld.
A Priest led the proceedings and after 30 minutes, they were all finally buried.
With the burial, this dark day finally came to an end with the veils of the darkness of the night covering this chapter of their lives.
…
2 weeks later…
Rex\'s secret was no longer hidden after the dark day.
He was supposed to be dead but Cassandra gave him a 2nd chance at life, and it was not without its consequences. Thinking that he would die, Rex did not hold back against his enemies as he used every single trump card that he had.
Facing Arthur Holmes, Rex had no choice but to use all his vampire abilities including morphing to become a half-bat in the day.
Principal Dominic and the others saw him first, then the others saw him. While the advanced mystic warriors fought and he fought for his life, Cassandra thought about nothing else but saving his life.
She dragged him all the way to Obedin City while he was still in his half-bat form, and this was how everyone knew his secret.
In the end, despite Cassandra\'s miraculous potion that allowed him to hold to his life despite his heart already dead, it took Rex 2 weeks to completely recover.
This was when he was told the aftermath of everything and when he heard it all, Rex sank into depression. By now, he was already 110% sure that the beast invasion and everything started because of him, because he was a Vector.
Because of him, thousands of soldiers died.
Because of him, thousands of civilians died.
Because of him, Bowling Town was no more.
Because of him, a happy town turned into a bloody cemetery.
For a whole day after he was told of the aftermath, Rex refused to see anyone as he locked himself inside the hospital room where he was admitted.
Alone, Rex thought of his life and the life decisions that he had made so far. At the end of everything, he only had more questions and confusion.
"Is my fate so different from others? Why don\'t I have control over my life?"
In the end, he discovered that he could no longer stay alone as he allowed his 2 friends to come to visit him. Ben and Cassandra were the only ones who visited him, others who knew him were somehow spooked about his secret.
Unlike other conventional bloodlines, being a Vampire was out of the norm. Vampires were existences who ruled the night, they lived a solitary life in darkness.
Rex took all these calmly, but they had subtle effects on his psyche.
On the 3rd day after he recovered, he was summoned by Principal Dominic.
