Epic of Summoner: Supreme Summoner System in the Apocalypse

Chapter 32 - Hitting The Road

After upgrading my weapon, I began to rest for some time.

I sat down over the couch and began to consider what to do.

I can't simply sit down while completing dungeons, I am sure as hell that this is not really a slice of life genre apocalypse.

These days of peace will soon end.

And I don't want to be in the middle of this big city to be the target of the entire apocalypse.

You see… in every movie and stuff about the apocalypse, the worst area where you can be is a big city, that's where all the people will be killed and turned into zombies or something.

Probably an alien spaceship will appear right on that day.

So for that, I have to get the hell away from here.

If another race of beings from another world comes here to exterminate the human race, they will obviously come to places with a lot of population to get all that juicy EXP (if they even have a System).

But it seems that only a selected few were given the System Ticket and told about the Ragnarök beforehand… Does this mean that the big guy behind all of this has chosen me as a "favored one" like all the other Players?

Wait… is this why other people are completely unaware of it? So he chooses a few that he fancied getting a head start.

There are… three days and a few hours before it all begins.

There must be other Players around trying to get by and grow their strength too, I bet…

I can't stand in this place with so many people, although I wouldn't mind slaughtering the thousands of zombies they might all become (I bet human zombies give nice EXP), I might risk dying day 1 of the apocalypse, which I don't want at all.

I check the hour, we finished the dungeons pretty early, around 9 AM we had everything done.

It is now 11 AM…

I glance at Kireina and Ervas who are watching TV at my side, and I decide to tell them.

"Escaping? Oh yes, I was about to suggest that, I was getting worried about that too… Well, I didn't suggest it because I didn't want to force you to do anything you didn't want…" said Kireina with a gentle smile… She is really thoughtful, but at times she just has to say what's on her mind.

"I believe it is a good idea… Now that Cuco has become strong and also a tamed monster, you can save him inside the Barracks while escaping," said Ervas.

That's also a good point, Cuco now counts as a "unit" so I can save him inside the barracks, a place where time stops, and he can be secure there while I move around. I can take him out when it is time to kill monsters or whatnot.

"Good idea. Let's get going today then, time to pack up everything inside the Inventory… Ah, we need to go buy a lot of stuff too, as much food as we can, water, clothes, probably the entire bed to carry around… Damn, I wish I could just carry the entire department, but I don't think I can just do that," I sighed.

"Haha, I remember that in the record you made me carry entire houses inside the Item Box, Master. That was quite hilarious," laughed Kireina.

Oh right… Inventories are pretty broken, you can just carry anything, as long as you can fit it inside the spatial portal that emerges… meaning that you need to move it inside.

But technically, if you can hold an entire house, you can put it inside too…

After around two hours, I had emptied my entire department, and had taken my last warm bath in the bathroom…

I even saved up the kitchen and everything on it, the refrigerator was also thrown inside the Inventory thanks to Kireina and Ervas holding it, and everything else…

I watched my department one last time, I had lived here for over four years, it was my cave, my home, the one where I always felt secure from the outside world.

A bit of nostalgia surges into my mind as I feel a bit of sorrow in having to leave this place… But I have to survive.

Kireina pats my shoulder as she hugs me from behind.

"It's okay, Master… We will find a new home one day," she said.

"Sigh… You really know what to say in every moment, don't you?" I asked.

"I am just trying to cheer you up~ I don't like a sorrowful master after all…" said Kireina, kissing my cheek.

Okay then, that one kiss did it for me, let's get going.

Oh, Kireina and Ervas wanted to come with me through the thing, and not in their invisible ethereal form, they wanted to be my "personal guards" or so.

Kireina's Illusion Magic came nicely here, as she was able to generate Illusion Runes and spells over Ervas and generate more "normal" clothes over him than the tribal stuff he had, which meant some little jeans, a t-shirt, and a hoodie, he looked rather good, like a boy about to do something mischievous.

And Kireina decided to also hide her wings, horns, elf-like ears, and jewels in her body, she wore a beautiful purple blouse that accentuated her large pair of… her beautiful chest. And she also created some tight jeans that grasped her butt quite well, she had quite an amazing figure. Oh, and some heels, making her look even taller than me now.

"Oh my, Ervas in casual clothes really does look adorable~!" said Kireina.

"It feels interesting to wear this," he said.

"How about me, Master? Do you like my casual attire?" asked Kireina.

"It does look quite nice on you. I like it," I said rather honestly, as Kireina didn't expect my directness and became as red as a tomato.

"I-I see… hehe…" she said while averting her gaze.

"Now that we are done, let's hit the road," I said.

We walked out of the edifice and then we moved towards the nearest Walmart, where we bought a ton of stuff with my credit card, I spent way more than what I had, but I didn't care about debt anymore, the world was ending after all.

I bought almost the entire stock of toilet paper like a good American, alongside food, snacks of all types, vegetables, prepared food, anything.

I also bought a ton of clothes, and even consoles, books, and more. The people were looking very strange at me, but they still let me buy most of it, Kireina used her illusion and charm to make the people favor us a bit more too.

I had also stored all my books and other stuff, if Earth ever comes to an end, I will at least have all of such precious light novels, mangas, and more stored in my Inventory to one day show them to my children or something…

I even bought a PS5, even though I might not even use it.

As we left with everything, I saved it inside my Inventory, and then we decided to steal a car.

Yeah, you heard me right.

If the world was ending, why should I care? We are playing GTA now.

I quickly found a nice gray-colored one stationed nearby and Kireina unlocked it fairly easily, she was also quite good at driving for some reason.

And, as I said earlier, we hit the road, leaving New York at around 2 PM.
