Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

10:29, 12 July 20XY.

Between Khaliyan and Dehradun, there were many level 5 zones, and on the path Alex was taking, there were 20.

He could still avoid them, but why would he?

They were just level 5 zones, and with the new skill he had gained, clearing level 5 zones was an easy thing for him.

He could just keep running from one spot to another and making as much noise as he could, attracting monsters from every side, but before they could get close to him...

*Swish*

They would all hear the sound of something cutting through the wind at breakneck speed before...

*Pierce*

With a sharp, piercing pain in their heads, their world would darken.

Alex had been doing the same thing in each level 5 zone, but fortunately or unfortunately for him, he didn't meet any more classed beasts.

He cleared around 15 zones in 14–15 hours, or it could be said that he took one hour for every zone.

If not for the short nap he took in a crashed plane stuck on a large tree, he would've been able to clear more, but it was a much-needed sleep.

He needed to take a nap for his body to function perfectly; he was a human after all.

Even though he was stronger and had been trained to survive in worse situations, he was never taught how to survive in an apocalypse, and now that he had to do it, he needed a bit more time to make his body apocalypse-ready.

Among the level 5 zones, however, more than half of them were goblin and kobold layers.

The remaining were Gnawfiends—rodent-type beasts, Wasphexes—bee-type beasts, Scalelashes—snake-type beasts, and Swampjaws—frog-type beasts.

Each with a special set of attacks, and all of them were something that no human before the apocalypse could even imagine defeating.

For Alex, however, they were not that hard.

All of them faced the same fate, dying by his arrow, and the ones who somehow got close to him by dodging the arrow met the same fate under his blade.

But among the ones Alex fought, if one were to ask which one caused him to expand the most effort, then his answer would be the Wasphexes.

They are able to fly, making it harder for him to shoot them down with an arrow, and the next annoying thing about them is that they can shoot poisonous stingers from a distance.

When Alex fought them, he didn't feel any problem at first.

"Bzzzz—pierce!"

They would come buzzing toward him, trying to protect their honeycomb—which was a human body hanging upside-down from a tree—only to have their buzz cut short by a piercing noise.

A while later, when Alex had already taken down 5 of the Wasphexes, the AI commented, and Alex's eyes sharpened.

*Swoosh*

He had to increase the speed of his arrow, resulting in higher usage of his mana, but by doing so, he was able to kill almost every Wasphexes until...

*Boom**Squelch*

The stomach of that hanging human was burst open from the inside, causing blood and gore to fly about.

The next second, something jumped out of the body, something with the size of a human head or a bit larger.

"BZZZZZ….."

And with a loud buzzing sound, it came into view.

A body just like any other wasp, the only difference was that it was bigger, and its stingers were sharper.

[[Name: Unnamed Wasphex Queen.

Race: Wasphex.

Title: --

Stats:

-> Strength – Level 5 (Tier 1)

-> Defense – Level 4 (Tier 1)

-> Agility – Level 5 (Tier 1)

-> Stamina – Level 4 (Tier 1)

-> Mana – Level 5 (Tier 1)

Skills:

→ Controller (Rare): As the queen of this nest, it has the ability to control and command other wasps in this nest.

→ Mad Dash (Uncommon): In anger, its agility increases by a certain degree, giving it a boost in speed.

→ Burst-Shot Stingers (Uncommon): Unlike other wasps, it can shoot multiple stingers one after another.

→ Enhanced Intelligence (Common): Being a queen and the controller of its nest, the beast has higher intelligence than any other wasp in its nest.

]]

That was what Alex had found out by using the analytic eyes.

It was the queen of this nest, and that beast was strong and fast.

It had been observing Alex for a while, so when it saw how Alex had been killing its children, it came out on its own.

The bug eyes of the queen kept following the arrow, and no matter how many times Alex tried…

*Woosh*

The arrow would never be able to hit the beast.

*Tut**Tut*Tut*...

The beast, however, kept shooting its stingers at Alex, trying to take him down, and after a while, when Alex had enough of this, he used his ability.

'Killing intent.'

He muttered inwardly and the next second.

"Bzzzz–!"

The buzzing stopped as the queen froze, but with its strong mentality, it wasn't stunned for long.

For Alex, however, that much time was enough as he flailed his hand, not wanting to waste time, and...

*Pierce*

Along with a crisp sound of the wasp's hide being penetrated, the buzzing stopped all together.

*Thud**Slatter*

Alex's body, on the other hand, only relaxed after he heard the sound of the wasp queen's body falling to the ground with a thud and splattering into a blood paste.

That was the only time he had to fight in an actual sense; other than that, it was an easy sail for him.

Right now, however, he was standing in front of another red zone, contemplating on what he should do.

He was standing in another forested area with many trees in the surroundings.

The trees in this area were dense enough to make it hard to look more than 40 meters deep into the forest.

'They should be enough coins to get my stats up to level 10...'

Alex mused inwardly as he looked at the coins he had collected by now.

[Coins: 9806.]

Looking at the almost 10,000 coins he had, Alex was now thinking of getting his power up to level 10, and only after that would he enter the level 10 zone in front of him.

Yes, a level 10 zone, and although he could still vividly recall the things an orc—which was supposedly under level 10—was capable of doing, Alex had confidence that with his abilities and his stats upped to level 10, at least he wouldn't die.

[A certain god is staring at you.]

This notification did cause a frown to crease between his brows, as she never just stared at him; she would always be expressing something or saying something, but he soon waved it off.

It was hard to guess what was going on in the gods' heads, especially when humans couldn't even see them, so although he found it a bit strange, he didn't focus on it.

*Click*

He instead clicked the plus button beside the levels in his stats.
