Chapter 28 - Chapter 28: The Beginning Of Decadence.

As Dackör's phrase ends, a short silence prevails in the UVIP Lounge, allowing everyone to clearly hear a dim but constant thud.

The sound drives everyone's attention to the right wall, making those who are near, to step away.

A crack appears, extending across the wall's surface, resulting in a little opening from where it is posible to see the other side.

A sort of office, and various people are taking their turns to hit the wall with dumbbells, using the objects as a makeshift hammer.

Still, the desperation and tension of their discussion is notoriously palpable, hinting they are in severe danger.

"That is my Little Sister!"; Scream Layneth with preoccupation, breaking the tension along the current silence of the UVIP Lounge.

Her voice is heard by the people at the other side of the wall, who shout loudly with disorganization, making impossible to differentiate who is telling what between the pleas of help.

"Shut Up, We are working!"; Orders with exasperation a deep masculine voice, stopping the fuss as he keeps hitting the wall with the dumbbell to enlarge the little crack.

This gives a better view, and Dackör can observe two people with dumbbells, recognizing immediately the beautiful toned body of a woman he met before "Choco Cheeks!, What a pleasure to see you again!, What is happening there?".

"A couple of weird brown Fur Balls!, That is what happened!, they entered in the gym, and go on a rampage, killing those who were near for no apparent reason, but they suddenly cease their attack, took some people as hostages and flee with hastiness".

A panicked woman screams "Something worse is coming!".

"We know that!"; Retorts exasperated a muscular man "Otherwise those animals wouldn't have the need to back off!".

"I didn't mean it in that way!, Some monsters really are coming!".

The woman moves a computer monitor, revealing the recording transmitted by the security camera outside the gym.

A few strong beefy Anthropoids of purple, magenta or black skin are going out from the Hole that appeared in the Mall.

They have tentacles instead of hair, scales or cristals embedded in their large bodies, showing a clear rivalry between them as they roar menacingly to one another, yet, they don't move too far from the Hole, as if they were waiting for something to happen.

"Did you close the entrance door?"; Inquires Cannttzziro, receiving an answer from a bald green skinned man who has red eyes "My brother in law did it, but those big rabbits blasted the gate and brake into the gym regardless".

{Blast?, Not shoot?}

At that moment, a known whistle that mutates into a sizzling is heard in the distance.

Zwïsha, Dulladnne and Dackör can't occult their realization, screaming at the top of their lungs "Get ready for an Impact!".

The warning does not come too late, but it is futile to try to prepare for it; A few seconds later, a powerful shockwave makes everything to resonate strongly with vibrations, causing dizziness and disrupting the cohesion between the particles of the reinforced concrete, pulverizing it into dust.

The Swarmts Mall Club basically collapse over itself, losing the thick material that serves as support for the building, leaving only the steel rods and rafters along with the prefabricated materials, like those made from polymers.

A huge amount of dust falls on everyone, making them cough and cover their faces to avoid being suffocated by the finite material.

But that is not the most complicated part, because without concrete, the ground falls through the gaps in the metal rods, bringing down several of the people in the upper floors.

With most of the Swarmts Mall Club being devastated, all hiding places or isolated sites like the Karaoke, are now as open and unprotected as any other part of the facilities.

The beefy monsters are gloated with the unexpected, or maybe expected outcome, roaring strongly and showing their menacing sharp teeth.

The disorientation is severe, but there is no time to lose, as the monsters do the first move, dispersing themselves, and brutally ending the lives of almost every person close to their inmediations.

Some security guards pull out their Pistols, constantly shooting at the monsters, to no avail whatsoever.

The Creatures possess a Revetment of Nuvlierz Energy, said protection is powerful enough to render completely useless the apparent aggressions.

This actions only triggers the monster's anger, and after earning the discontent of some of the muscular Beasts, an unfitted retaliation from their parts comes into play.

The monsters pounce towards the security guards, smashing them with strong blows that squash down their victims, doing a perfect make over, transforming them into a puddle of puree.

Shaking his head, Dackör reagins his focus, Wielding his Venxerian Assault Rifle and moving forward to engage in combat against the Creatures.

The short young man increases the power output of the weapon he is welding, passing from one Mitochondria per shot, to every bullet having an entire natural Cell of capacity, which is equivalent to every shot having 120 Mitochondrias of sheer potency.

Shooting and sprinting on a sandy ground while being seasick isn't the wisest course of action, yet, Dackör is an expert using weapons, being unable to miss a shoot even if he tries.

He lands a staggering amount of headshots on the Creatures, swiftly evading their movements while maintaining his offensive.

But the beasts are tough and resilient, withstanding impacts even if their Revetments of Nuvlierz Energy are occasionally pierced.

{They are ignoring me?!, Why are they paying me even less attention than the security guards!, Why?!}

The immaterial bullets shot by Dackör's Venxerian Assault Rifle keep tearing off small pieces of muscle, skin, scales or quartzites that were part of the Creature's bodies.

Nevertheless, they remain on their feet, eliminating whoever is in their path.

The monsters don't have the slightest care about their increasing injuries, and Dackör sees why in the moment his weapon runs out of ammo, as the Beasts simultaneously start to regenerate the tissues they lost.

Dackör is stupefied about such ability, yet, what drives him almost into madness are the mocking smirks plastered on the Creatures maws…
