After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 757

Inside the walls, the battles had been settled and the Alterrans were just rounding up the enemies who trespassed their land.

A lot of the more powerful players inside went outside to assist, and this included Althea. It so happened she had an idea where her husband was stationed, and she had a report from those watching from the battlement.

Although there was no clear sight due to the forest canopies, the two were making enough movements that they could approximate the area they were heading toward.

Positioning herself in the direction where Baltimore was going, she used [Earth Sense] to have a better idea of what was happening. Her husband was very nearly about to capture Baltimore, but there was still a small chance he would escape by virtue of his level and skills, so Althea opted to help out in whatever way she could.

She made a rough calculation and used the last bit of mana she had to hit him.

It missed and failed to cause much damage but, fortunately, her husband was close behind, and he created an impressive spike of metal to skewer the man to death.

"Dead?" Althea asked as she went to them, though her heart was pained to see her husband so injured. She had fortunately refilled her health potions before heading out, knowing there’d be a lot of injuries outside.

"Wife!" Garan uttered as she approached, opening his arms to her. She hugged him and sighed, forcing him to drink a potion. "You should’ve tortured him more for hurting you so much."

Thankfully, she and the team managed to create an improved healing potion that could have an effect on people below level 30. If she made it herself with her pharmacy skills, the effect was even stronger.

He smiled as he drank the improved healing potion. "Well, I can’t compare to my wife who beat a similarly leveled man."

She giggled and shook her head. The only reason she managed to beat Belize was because he was poisoned, she had extremely superior equipment—one that could defend against people twice his level if she had been strong enough—and she also had Gochi, who dealt with most of the close-ranged damage.

Without any one of those, she doubted she’d have won.

In contrast, her husband went head-to-head with an elementalist lord nearly 10 levels higher than he was. While their equipment and potions had some bearing, those were only to safeguard his limbs and life. Those things would’ve meant nothing if Garan wasn’t strong enough to hold out on his own.

Anyway, Althea was just so happy he was all right. It wasn’t that she hadn’t offered to give him her top-tier equipment, but he adamantly refused. He told her he wouldn’t be able to fight his best if he would worry about her getting even a bit injured.

After seeing her husband recover a bit of energy, she then turned to look at the corpse below them. Pity for what was inside his space and wallet. There should’ve been some interesting things in there.

While Althea mourned for the loss loot, Garan leaned down and rummaged through Baltimore to get the Token. At this time, a few other Alterrans had found them, also a little shocked by the bloody sight. Then they flinched when they saw the Captain pat the corpse down. _{freewebnoveℓ.com}

As the seconds ticked by, Garan’s indifferent face turned to a frown, until he turned to his wife with furrowed eyebrows. "It’s not here."

"What?"

The Token was not on his body? Why?

Gill narrowed his eyes at the corpse. "Baltimore didn’t seem like a person who separated his token from himself."
