“Damn this beast!”
Rombus grunted, almost breaking his sword with that last swing. Once again, he got thrown when the beat swung its body.
They barely scrape the scale near its heart, which was a crucial part in defeating the wyrm.
This entire battle proved too much for just the three of them, considering that they were unprepared for an enemy as big as this one.
“If only the others were here.”
Cortus whined, nearly lost for breath. The youngster was holding out well, even if this was, in fact, his first patrol. Though it would have been better if they did not encounter such a creature.
“We don’t have a choice. We’re just a scouting party.”
Asron states, trying to clari
Somehow they averted the worst, though Chris didn’t want to butt in on the situation, understanding the repercussion that it could bring him, but because of how the group was being overpowered, he made the choice of helping. Hoping for the possibility that they will think of him as an ally. It was better than the latter, which was getting eaten by that gigantic serpent.Now all he had to face was the people that were jumping in joy at their accomplishment. If you could call that, cause they weren’t really able to kill that thing. He would have been more relaxed if that was the case, since he wouldn’t have to worry about it coming back for him.
The small village bedazzled Chris, feeling refreshed to see such a peaceful sight. Houses made of wood, with only the lower portion, were stacked with stone. Trees still covered a large part of the area, and there were a lot of children almost the same height as he was running all over the place.A group of villagers greeted them the moment they arrived. Asron’s wife was pregnant, yet quite radiant. Rombus had a nagging lady, along with two kids, while Cortus had both his parents.Everyone was glad to see the three return unharmed, giving them praise and greeting that it took a while for them to notice him.“And who might you be, little one?”Asron’s wife asks. The woman had long hair reaching up to her waist. The females seem to have less sharp teeth, and their horns were like skin disco
The villagers continued to celebrate through the night, proud of their warriors’ achievement and safety. It seems they considered such a thing an impressive feat.If they were in his world, everyone would have done the same, if they beat off such a powerful enemy like that.Chris shivered when the memory of that bloodlust crawled into his mind. The incident brought up questions he’d been harboring in his thoughts for the longest period. As it all started from the time that he was being experimented on.He remembered the moment wherein he introduced himself to Wolfenstein and some other
Because of that story, Chris could not sleep the entire night. He kept on thinking of the dangers and potential effects if the enemeies were to attack their world.He remembered about the doctor saying something about needing more power. It made him think that the old man knew what was to come. Which would explain why the old man was so hell bent on creating more power users.But with how things were progressing in the world where he came from, no one knows about the horror that was coming their way.All he could think of at that point was on how to get back, so that he could warn everyone of the potential danger that was heading their way.This could be the chance to stop the non-stop war between countries, since they would focus everybody on preparing for that certain enemy.“Hey what’s with the face?
Chris could not believe his eyes. They were being attacked by the same earth wyrm, recognizing that wound that he inflicted on its chest.The beasts brought reinforcement this time, something he didn’t think was possible. There were now three of them, including the one from before.The minute those monsters came out of the ground, the Drogan men were already rushing to face them. Not a single one of them showed any kind of fear, jumping head on to the fight.Weapons clashed with the creature’s tough scale. Even with an additional aid and their size, the warriors seem to overpower them.“Cortus, you good?”Rombus laughed aloud, watching the youngest of their companion get thrown a few meters high, crashing straight into the woods. Several trees broke down at the impact,
The trickling fire played and dance with every gust of the wind, reminding Chris of his flame serpent. Memories flooded into his mind, remembering the things that the creature had told him during their first encounter.He had been so keen that all of that was just a dream that he hardly paid attention to all of it. But now that he was in that unknown world, alone, helpless. He needed to protect himself in order to survive that harsh land.There was no way that he’d be able to always depend on Drogan’s for help, realizing that they too had a life of their own, not to mention that they all think he was capable because of his weapon.After he was certain that everybody else
Sounds of galloping steeds and the continuous shaking of the wagon added to that endless throbbing inside his head. Chris lost track of time, trying to figure out how to make his idea work.He wasn’t able to finish his whole practice when people started looking for him, only to realize that it was already dawn, not until he saw the sun almost rising. So he barely had a wink of sleep cause they had to move early.“Hey, human friend. You doing okay?”Cortus has been poking at him all day, since he had a vague answer when they found him in the field. The only thing he could come up with during that time was it was the call of nature.Pretty embarrassing, but it was the safest option he could think of. Of course, that raised questions’ cause he was in an open area, instead of somewhere more private.
“You all set?”Asron asks after helping unload the last of the boxes that they’ve brought from the village.After arriving, the caravan went straight to an area where there were tents of traders near the docks. It was also close to a watering hole where a lot of the locals and travelers go to.“Yeah, I’ll handle everything here.”Rombus was going to be left in charge of setting up a place for trading there. So they were leaving all their stuff with him.“Keep an eye on our little green horn over there. Don’t let him make a fool out of himself.”Asron gives a brief gaze at Cortus, who was now doing some display of his spear skills to a few passersby.Looks like their comrade was eager to
Within the darkness, on a floating platform made of trees, vines, and krad carcasses, was Chris, sitting on a throne of spikes and bent trunk, along with the wriggling doctor. The roots of the fauna continued to grab hold of the now silent machinery, as it too remained helpless in the void.“We can breathe! Fascinating.”Steinz chuckled, as they were both able to remain alive, even within the emptiness of the space. A thing which was impossible. The chill prevailed, together with the silence, but it did not bother both of them, being protected by the makeshift vessel.“Let’s see you enjoy it when you get bored with the place.”Chris grumbles, sighing as he narrowed his gaze onto the infernal device. The object may have stopped, but he was certain its power remained.“I am positive we can find a way to kill boredom in someway.”The old geezer let out another cackle, enjoying his weightlessness, swimming within the nothingness like a serpentine fish. He used his webs as an anchor, makin
The skies began opening up, tornadoes appeared increasingly. It started wreaking havoc, along with the continued earthquakes.Chris witnessed it all, watching how the land was breaking because of the machine. He took in a deep breath, feeling the drudge in his chest, contemplating on his plan if it will work.He’d been starting there for an hour now, and all this time, he was having doubts because of the fear which was nudging inside of him.He was so far in his thoughts that he hardly notice the portal opening nearby. Out came Raynald, a healed up Oliver, and the others.All of them stunned to see him just standing there, unmoved by all the chaos, looking into the nothingness with lifeless eyes.“Matriarch, everything all right?”It was the sergeant who asked, being the only one bold enough to approach and check up on him.That wake him from his dreamlike state, sensing those familiar energies. He smiles, having those warm presence surrounding him.Them being there somehow jolted his
Chris stared above, watching that beautiful large planet in the sky. He smiles, unable to believe that they are going to collide with such a gorgeous thing.He turns his gaze to the pyramid, humming non-stop. Spike roots rot around it, barely touching the area. The golems which tried to go near the site all crumbled.Once again, he fires a shot. The beam deflects, ricocheting on the nearby tree.He clicks his tongue in frustration. The machine had created its own barrier. He could only find out after getting pushed back when he approached it.“Fascinating, isn’t it? My life’s work.”The gurgling voice states.Chris’s eyes rolled, huffing in irritation before turning to the now crawling geezer.The old man’s head popped out of the body of a large beetle larvae, web like mucus continued to flow out of him, three hands twitching with excitement.Even in his new form, the fellow remained pompous of his job, as it showed in how he gaze at the mechanism.“Yes, I would have commended you for
After an hour of fighting, general Gently’s men started retreating, disappearing within the covers of the mist. The man himself withdrew into the veil of that thick, grayish cloud.The doctor’s lackeys cheered in triumph, having push back their enemy who tried to destroy their weapon. All of them letting out laughs, because even the monsters that were charging in had vanished.Chris watch as the group celebrated their victory and after a thorough observation, he confirmed his theory about them.Once they became complacent enough, he makes his move, stepping out of the guise of the fog calmly.“I knew you were still alive. Doctor Howard Steinz.”He states, narrowing his sights at the man who stood in the middle of them all.The geezer’s smile faded, frowning upon seeing him walk unfazed in front of all those men.The crowd was quick to gather, blocking themselves in defense of the elderly fellow.Those who had a barrier ability created a gigantic dome, protecting both the machine and t
Above them, the cloud ridden sky sparked and roared, as the unrivaled beings clashed with each other.Behind them, booms of cannons and rattling of machine guns continued, and in front, debris would fall off from the top, while flashes of different colored lights would appear, together with the sounds of explosions.Chris remained still, staring at the two individuals flying in the air while cooking up a plan inside his head.“Matriarch, you think it was wise to use him?”It was Finny, fidgeting from the pressure in the atmosphere.Both superpowers kept releasing an immense trace of energy, reaching down below.It continued to make them sense the overpowering presence, causing the unbearable sensation of staying there, since they still got that fear of the danger being close by.“Zero can handle himself.”He mutters the name they gave him, confident that the being is strong enough to take on his opponent.The only trouble they had was the stray beam falling down, blowing up a portion
Chris narrowed his eyes, feeling every bit of his body trembled in anticipation. His adrenaline was trashing about, his hearts continued to pump uncontrollably fast.The amount of aura the man was releasing was as he had expected, inciting a higher excitement in him.A grin formed inside his mask, unable to hide the sheer joy he was experiencing from relief.“Get him out of here.”He orders, not removing his eyes on the guy.From having witnessed the battle with Oliver unfold a moment ago, he was now used to his speed, so he realized how much effort he needed to exert to stop him.Though he stood straight, his fingers were twitching, alert to take out his weapon if the fellow tried to move from his place.A portal opened beside the wounded youngster, letting out Harold, Raynald, Finny, and Marco. All four were wearing masks, hiding their identity from the guy.The double S class stayed in a steady battle pose, weary of beginning an attack after that. Especially because his wound conti
The force that Oliver released blasted away all five mercenaries.The others caught the effects of his sudden surge, because of the wind blowing from him from the pressure.The double S class, Carl, who grinned lasciviously while looking down on the events as it unfolded, also mesmerized by the dazzling display.Oliver’s armor completely changed. It now glistened with a blinding white light, the design on each piece that he wore became more intricate.“What did he do?”Nikolai, the serpentine user, was gritting his teeth, trying to keep himself steady.The pressure being thrown at them made it difficult to move. It’s weight pushing them down to the ground.When everything settled, they all sensed an impending gap in their levels, just by looking at the youth.Oliver can feel the power surging through every vein in his body, increasing all his senses.It was as if it turned him invincible at the moment, having an overflowing amount of energy, along with becoming so light on his feet.W
Oliver’s heart raced, each time someone turns his way, his blood rushing as he continued moving in the mist's guise. His every motion stayed silent, quick, and fluid.He pauses when he reaches the summit, as the clearing no longer provided any kind of protection. It was where the opening yet did not have any area to hide.He takes a few huffs of breath, shutting his eyes to muster his courage, readying himself for what he is about to do.Once done, he did not hesitate to take a step forward, having put all his mind into it. In seconds, he dashes about five meters into the clearing, but his momentum was not enough to reach the gap.“It’s the sniffer!”One soldier got a glimpse of him, gaining the attention of the others. All those that were in reserve promptly rush to the site.But he had already broken through the force field, slamming his shield right into it without a problem.He uses the sudden pause as a leverage to shift his movement, turning to his side to head towards the pyram
Flames, flashes of light, and debris mixed into the mist. There was barely nothing to see there because of it.Screams of terror, despair, and anger filled the air, along with the explosions and shots now and then.Deep within the middle of it all, Oliver was pulling his father to the safety of a nearby mound that he saw. Away from all the beams, bullets, and other stuff that were flying around.“Come on, dad.”He urges, as his old man could no longer move, groaning with each motion because of the wound on his legs.They froze in place, hearing a loud clicking sound behind. Instinctively, he let out a shield, blocking a claw in the nick of time.He winced, receiving the brunt and weight of the force, his bones cracking, forcing him to bend his knee to weaken its pressure.Huge mandibles began munching on his defense, attacking to break through it, while its scythe claws pulled at him. All he could do was tug at it, drawing its attention to hide his father from those large, dark, insec
