BRAGR) Nukes Part 1 (Patreon)

“I need a shower.” I was covered in blood. I just spent an hour making an example out of the idiot. If not for Angel calling out to me to come home, I would have continued to indulge in the scent of iron and the screams of pain that escaped the idiot’s mouth.

The thrill of torturing my enemy really entrances me to the point that I forget about everything. But luckily this caused the people outside who were looking to riot to calm down. I mean, I did just skin and chop a man into pieces. I think the threat of being killed in such a manner sunk in deeply.

“I will help!” Angel jumped at the chance to join me in the shower. I had a feeling I was going to be in there for a while…

“Master, please try to conserve water a bit more. Using so much while doing such things is just…” Hilde was currently going on a rant. First, it started with I wanted to join too to, why is life so unfair, to wasting water. I did not know where to start or end, so I just left it.

“I will be going back to resting. Hilde, can you do me a favor and round up some of the lower level players. Also, has the internet started working again?” We hadn’t been in the game for a while, so I was getting worried about when we would be able to enter again.

“Yes, after the bombing runs the internet did come back once the smoke clouds began to dissipate. We already have many people working on leveling up as we speak in game. Silvie is helping them as well once they reach her. With so few people even able to play it has been easy for our people to level up.” Hilde explained. I nodded at this since leveling was our top priority over everything else. We needed higher levels to survive later on. After all, New York was known as a high-level area in my dreams. The level of monsters has also been progressively getting stronger as well.

“Alright then get people who are willing to enter the real world dungeon. We need to begin clearing it… what’s that sound?” I suddenly heard what sounded like a jet or something flying overhead. If I were a normal human, I would never hear it, but as a demon, I could easily hear the sound.

“Master, I am detecting something very dangerous on the black triangle shaped object approaching our position. It will not break our shield but the people outside will most likely die.” Hilde’s words made me frown.

“Does the government really want to wipe out the entire surviving population of New York!?” I couldn’t help but yell as I ran to the window and looked up into the sky. Sure enough, off in the distance were two black dots.

“We got two bombers incoming and I bet they are not normal bombs. Hilde, work with Mati and set up a secondary barrier around ours and the people camping outside. Make it strong enough to block a fucking Nuke! Also call back any of our troops on patrol!”

I had no idea what kind of Nuke they were going to drop, but you do not use stealth bombers to take a Sunday trip around the block.

“I will get on it Master!” Hilde quickly disappeared from the room. It did not take long for the two of them to set up a secondary barrier. I was not sure how many people were outside the barrier, but I had my own people patrolling the encampments to keep them from getting out of hand.

The last thing I wanted was for any of them to die on me. It is not easy to take in soldiers. Well-trained ones at that. Losing any of them could put a dent in plans later on.

The only issue, though, is I know I am saving these people now, but the fallout that will come from a nuke will not be easy to ward off, at least, I do not think. “Zoe, what’s happening? Why did you build a second barrier?”

“Because the government doesn’t know when to quit. Angel, tell your father to gather all the heads of each building, and start moving people underground. We might need to live down there for a while.” I hated to admit it, but this was something we might not be able to avoid.

“I will go talk to him now.” Angel quickly ran off while I stuck my head out the window once more to take a look. The bombers were almost in range.

“Hilde, how well will the barrier filter nuclear fallout?”

“Master, I am sorry but it can not block such a thing unless we block all air. We would need to make a barrier specifically for that but I do not know the make up of such things. Although we will be able to contain the blast and keep it from harming anyone but that is about it.”

Hilde’s words were not too good. “Have out soldiers move into the second barrier and start helping evacuate in the inner barrier. Angel is already getting her father on it as well. They are to assist him in anything he needs.”

“I will tell the commander now.” While everything was moving along I decided to go take a look at what a nuclear blast looked like up close and personal.
