Is it Wrong to Copy Abilities in Apocalypse?

In the same tent that was used by the five leaders before now stood Urmina. She had been standing inside the tent for a while, waiting for the three guys she sent inside to come back.

Yeah, if Alex was still there, then the guys would never come back; they would die at his hands, but that was if he was there.

From what she knew, he was last seen close to that level 35 zone, so how could he be here?

She was camping on this side, and Ragha, who was also interested in having a part in killing Alex, was waiting on the other side of the area.

He must be trying to look for Alex's presence as well.

Unlike Saurav, who had decided to wait for Alex's presence in the area to be confirmed, Urmina and Ragha had decided to step in first.

They didn't really need Saurav. Alex was not as strong as he was before, and both Ragha and Urmina, who had never seen Alex in action, thought that his powers were overrated by the others.

In the end, both Ragha and Urmina decide to enter the area and attack Alex the moment they see him.

They would signal each other, rounding up Alex and killing him. Alex was a good ranged dealer, so all they had to do was take away his range, and she knew how to do it as she had done it before.

Ragha was a close-ranged dealer, making him quite important for this fight, but Saurav wasn't included in their plans.

Both Ragha and Urmina had decided to keep him out of this. Why?

The reason was simple: That guy didn't seem to have any intention of killing Alex.

Saurav didn't want to kill Alex; he just wanted to defeat the guy once and then go back on his way. Saurav just wanted to know how strong Alex was compared to him.

By using all of the coins they had in their storage and the coins that they had their followers collect, Ragha, Urmina, and Saurav had upgraded themselves close to level 30, leaving nothing in their storage right now.

Their objective was to kill Alex, and although they did seem pretty confident in being able to defeat Alex, and there was this thought in their minds that Alex's powers were overrated, they, with their own eyes, had seen the zone Alex was clearing—it was a level 35 zone.

If a person can solo clear a level 35 zone, then there is no way they would be weak.

So, no matter how brave and confident they seemed, they were pretty cautious on the inside—they were a bit scared, to be honest.

If nothing, they would at least shatter the egg.

'I will kill him for sure.'

Urmina muttered inwardly, clenching her fist hard.

No matter what it was, she was going to kill Alex one way or another. If fighting him didn't roll, then she would just run away by using her subordinates as shields and return later to shatter Alex's egg, killing him in the process.

First of all, she had to make sure whether Alex was even here or not. If her subordinates didn't return, it meant that he was here, and that would imply that the egg was here as well, but if her subordinates were to return, then things would get a bit tricky.

They will have to start an area search for the egg—an egg that had its size unknown.

"Boss, they are back!"

It was just then that Urmina heard a voice from outside of the tent, causing her eyes to sharpen.

'So, he's not here?'

She wondered. Stepping out of the tent, looking at the three guys in front of her, standing unharmed, not even a scratch on their bodies.

'Is the egg really here?'

Looking at them, she couldn't help but doubt the conclusion people had come up with.

Their being alive was fine; that was believable, but how was there not even a scratch on their bodies? Would Alex just leave his egg unprotected in this area? Wouldn't he place some traps or something like that in the area?

Urmina had sent them in to check this as well.

She wanted to know if there were traps placed in the area but seems like there weren't.

Yes, she was being ruthless and cold toward her own subordinates, but this was just how she was. The people were following her out of their own violation; she never asked anyone to do it; she was just a selfish homeless girl who only cared about herself.

All of them just wanted to follow her because they wanted to form a group, and why would she deny it? She was getting to have all of their coins!

"Vimal, how was it?"

She turned toward the first guy—the one with sensory ability—and questioned him.

She didn't just send him inside to die; she sent him inside because she knew that if there were any dangers hidden inside the area, this guy was her best shot at finding them.

"I-It might just be me being paranoid, but I felt that someone was looking at us."

The guy fidgeted under Urmina's gaze, voicing out with uncertainty. He wasn't sure how Urmina would react to his words; she could be pretty unpredictable sometimes after all.

"Hmmm..."

To his relief though, she just let out a long hum, nodding her head, walking back into the tent before she paused.

"You weren't able to find the owner of that gaze?"

She questioned, her head tilted backward, looking at him while still standing in her spot.

"No, as weird as it might sound, I really wasn't able to do—"

Vimal, now a bit relieved that Urmina's reaction wasn't hyper or something like that, replied with a shake of his head, but before he could even complete his words.

"Useless."

*Thud*

Urmina's words were heard, and the guy's head fell to the ground with a thud. His expression was still the same pondering expression, as if he himself was confused why he couldn't sense anyone's presence, but he didn't know that the moment he said no, was the moment his fate was sealed.

The ones in the surroundings stood frozen for a while before their eyes widened in realization.

'He's dead!'

They almost jumped back in terror, but looking at a pair of dark purple eyes staring at them, they didn't show a hint of remorse or terror they felt right now.

"Good."

It was only when she saw this that Urmina stepped inside the tent, her mind reeling as she thought of the new news she had just now.

'Someone keeping an eye on them? Is it Alex? Is he being careful right now? Maybe he wants to stay hidden and only attack when we have all entered the area...'

She frowned as she thought of this. It was getting complicated now.

"World chat."

She called out for the world chat and opened Ragha's chat, preparing to send a message.

"Alex might be in the area."

This was what she wanted to tell him, but just then...

"ROOOAAAARRRR!!"

A loud roar was heard, almost causing her to fall off the chair she just sat on before she rushed out of the tent, wanting to know what was happening and it was then that she saw it.
