Using Alex felt like cheating. But they were in an apocalypse, not a video game. Rin had to use every advantage he could get.
"Alex, help Serena and get us out of here."
Rin commanded, and for a moment it looked like Alex would not respond to his words. But thankfully, Alex decided to listen. He turned his head to the side before letting out a sharp cry.
All the monsters froze before they started backing away and retreating toward the volcano. It left the group with a clear path to escape.
"What is going on? The monsters are retreating."
Serena asked with an almost dejected look on her face. She seemed disappointed that she would not get to fight those monsters after all.
Unfortunately for her, Rin still had use for her, so he could not allow her to die here.
"Alex…cough...has bought us some time. Let's get going."
