Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill Chapter 628 Earthquake

Previously on Raising My Trash Ability into a Broken SSS+ Rank Skill...

Vritra unleashed Blood Manipulation to explode a zombie's head, earning sin points as his group cleared the floor and eyed the locked apartment with potential survivors. They ventured into the pitch-black corridor above, pushing back the darkness with light and a barrier, but retreated after sensing a voracious mutant within. Shifting focus to Ron's band of humans below, Monk Shitless posed as a distressed woman to infiltrate, hypnotizing a guard and slipping poisoned supplies that weakened the group. As they pursued the fleeing impostor, the deaf zombie emerged, drawing Ron into combat while Vritra's team launched a savage ambush, cutting down the poisoned foes in a blur of machete strikes and support attacks. Only Ron remained, seething amid the carnage of his slaughtered allies.

Fierce blows rained down upon the zombie while Ron struggled to take it down.

Regret overwhelmed his heart.

He wished he had heeded Lad's warning and escaped this spot earlier.

Yet abruptly, his movements grew sluggish, and a piercing agony assaulted his thoughts.

Diana cast a debilitating curse, Yasmine unleashed a psychic assault, and Vanessa induced a haze of slowness and disorientation in him.

All at once, the blood within him surged wildly, pounding his heart at a frantic pace while overwhelming terror gripped his soul.

'I must escape!'

He abandoned all thoughts of vengeance, desperate only to get away.

However, as he spun around, an unseen barrier enclosed him, halting him in his tracks for a brief instant.

BANG

That split second proved fatal against the hearing-impaired zombie.

Its savage strikes hammered into Ron, shattering fissures across his armored exterior.

Just his outer layer gleamed like metal.

His internal organs remained vulnerable as before.

A crimson fiery avian darted forth and slammed into his visage, scorching his vision as Ron howled, flailing punches wildly at the undead foe.

"Ideal, hehe." Fiona grinned, dispatching additional flame birds.

They worked in perfect harmony, escalating the clash into utter savagery.

Soon enough, the zombie and Ron alike lay grievously wounded, their forms drenched in gore.

"Okay, time to claim the finishing blow."

Vritra smirked while hurling a dagger that sank directly into the zombie's gaping maw.

He dashed ahead and drove the machete deep into the immobilized creature's skull, pulverizing its core.

At last, he faced the battered Ron, who teetered on the verge of collapse.

"Greetings, apologies for butting in. We're newcomers around here." Vritra remarked, stepping nearer.

"Y- You COUGH scum, why would you… ugh we d- didn't even do anythi... t- to you"

[Blood Manipulation Activated!]

With Ron so drained and his protections shattered, the blood morphed into razor-sharp edges and pierced straight into his mind, ending his life.

{Sin Point Gained: Killed a Mutant +96}

{Sin Point Gained: Killed a Mutant +98}

Vritra felt delighted by his earnings.

He promptly reviewed his status.

{Sin Points: 2826}

『

[Stats]

(Strength: 7.8)

(Agility: 7.8)

(Endurance: 6.7)

(Spiritual: 4.2)

』

"Great! Curious what attributes the spin might yield." He mused, choosing to ascend once more.

Blood stained this area heavily, drawing mutant beasts before long.

Back in their starting apartment, Vritra gazed upon the ethereal Sin Wheel.

"Well, the 100-point draw likely boosts odds for attributes.

Fine, I'll spin the 100-point lottery using every point I have."

In his mind, 2800 points vanished, yielding 28 prizes in exchange.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 Free attribute!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 100 litre Petrol!]

[Congratulations, you have obtained 100 steak meal kits!]

…

In a flash, precisely 28 notifications appeared before him. The bulk consisted of assorted provisions.

"I snagged 2 spiritual, 1 agility, and 1 free attribute point—ha, that's 4 points totaling eight thousand's value!"

Vritra beamed at the haul.

This draw outshone the 50-point one, with supplies coming in larger batches too.

The spiritual and agility boosts integrated seamlessly, invigorating him anew.

A soothing chill eased his thoughts.

The lone free point lingered untouched. After some consideration, Vritra opted to save it.

"Fine, once we eliminate that shadow mutant upstairs, we're vacating this structure." Vritra declared.

"Darling, let's dine now. Hunger's creeping in. I nearly forgot about it after my power surged." Yasmine chirped joyfully.

Their own levels had risen too from slaying those foes.

Not matching Vritra's wheel-driven pace, but surpassing local survivors' growth.

The atmosphere stayed upbeat as Vritra distributed the gathered goods among the group.

Should separation occur unexpectedly, each carried vital basics.

Everyone retained their storage spaces, fortunately.

They savored their meal leisurely, conversing casually and relishing the respite.

Beyond the building, perils awaited fiercely.

Meal finished, they ventured into the shadowy hallway.

Armed with elevated stats and synergistic powers, dispatching that beast posed little challenge.

Teresa repelled the gloom, Vritra barreled in upfront, with the rest aiding from rear positions or by his side.

In the heart of it, an odd mutant emerged.

Its body hugged the floor, spider-like appendages sprouting as myriad eyes fixed upon them.

It lunged aggressively, appendages thrusting like lances amid belching shadows that rattled their psyches.

The skirmish remained perilous, demanding full exertion of their skills to vanquish it.

…

{Sin Point Gained: Killed a Mutant +124}

HUFF HUFF

They gasped for breath, their inner reserves all but depleted.

This marked their mightiest mutant kill yet.

Its defeat alone bumped his stats by 0.3.

"Whew, at last it's over. Let's climb and inspect that upper area too."

One final level beckoned, yet scouting revealed scant discoveries.

Corpses lay mangled beyond recognition, devoid of any zombie traces.

"Seems this edifice holds nothing more. Time to depart." Vritra stated gravely.

Their aim lay toward the distant tower.

Initially, they scaled to the rooftop, where the tower sharpened into view.

Snow blanketed the roof as well.

"That seems quite distant." The goddess noted. It explained the ample timeframe granted.

In this blizzard, no ride could navigate the paths.

"Still, we ought to steer clear of that colossal mutant. It's beyond us." Vritra advised, pivoting to exit.

But through the haze, something caught his eye.

Vritra concentrated, his enhanced perception allowing greater range than his companions'.

Distant structures quivered erratically, like during a massive quake.

Gradually, every edifice began trembling with fury.

BOOOOM

A structure abruptly leaned then crumbled, birthing a vast dust plume as it reduced to debris.

As tremors neared, Vritra discerned a massive entity burrowing beneath the earth, enormous in scale.

"RUN!" He bellowed, seizing the hands of nearest wives and bolting to the terrace's far edge.

Shock froze them momentarily, but they hastened after Vritra.

By then, the quake's force registered with them too.

Shortly, their tower and neighbors shuddered violently.

Seconds later, several structures lifted briefly before crashing down amid deafening roars.

Vritra and crew nearly toppled as their building tipped leftward, yet his swift response saved them.

His agility surpassed 9 already. He swept a quick look at his kin, then the chaos around.

[Adding 1 Free Attribute Point to agility.]

Now exceeding 10. Hitting this threshold sparked a velocity surge.

At peak velocity, he clasped Fiona and Diana's hands, flinging them toward the adjacent building's ledge.

Gratefully, the others clung steady.

The subterranean writher hadn't neared that structure.

Vritra hurled all to safety across before comprehension dawned.
