The beautiful beast.

Chapter 31

Wall gunners prepare for battle!”

  “Oh yeah!”

  “Shoot those mother fu*kers!”

  Dratttatt!

  “Finally something to do,my hands have been itching for action since!”

  Soon the sounds of bullet casings richochetting on the walls was the only thing that could be heard as some of the monsters were finally able to get to the moat.

 The function of the wall gunners was very simple—man the wall and using the advantage of their high position monitor the whole battlefield and kill one or two monster that got too close for comfort.

  It was that simple!

  It was just that most if not all the time they rarely had anything to do since the monsters were usually destroyed before they even had the chance to get close.

  However this time they finally had the chance to shine!

   Cocking the sniper rifle,Ethan placed it on the gaps between the wall while peering into the periscope. Placing his hands on the trigger he closed his eyes.

  Breathe in ,breathe out…

    The moment his eyelids closed it was like all the sounds of battle dissapeared totally with the world turning into an empty void. 

  If either Greg or Burt saw his they would be slack jawed from shock because this was the legendary void heart state!

  Just from the name you'll be able to glimpse the perks. It basically removed any and all factors that distracted an individual from concentrating allowing them to achieve three times the result with normal effort! 

  In this case,he would be able to make insane calculations in a span of milliseconds. This was an ability that could only be chanced upon and not searched for. 

   Ethan however was oblivious to all these as his index finger remained on the trigger. 

  “Target is at least six hundred meters away, possessed a dense armour plate around it's body with the only vulnerabilities being the cracks in it's shoulder plate and the thin gap in centre of it's head….”

  Applying a tiny amount of pressure more he slightly twisted the rifle while shooting at the same time.

  Naturally as a sniper rifle without the silencer attached the sound of it's firing would definitely be loud and clear for all to hear.

   BAAANG!

  Like an explosion,the bullet whistled past the air,rushing straight through the battlefield while avoiding all the bodies in it's direction. It was as if there was a guidance system onboard it as it didn't even accidentally hit another monster or powermaster on the battlefield. Even if there was a close shave it was usually not more than a few millimeters!

  Practically the bullet seemed to have ‘eyes’ for only it's target….

   And the most astonishing thing was that all these happened in the time it took one to blink!

  SWISH

CRACK

  The sound of a bullet piercing flesh was immediately followed by the sickening sound of bone being crushed. The next moment everyone,monsters included suddenly backed off from each other as huge and long body fell down from the crown of the trees seperating the two into two groups.

  BAM!!!

  The body was so huge that it raised a mini storm cloud that totally obscured everyone's sight.

  Cough, cough, cough!

  Finally after a few minutes everyone was able to see what fell down from the tree and the shock couldn't be hidden. Even Tyson who was a tough man was so shocked he wasn't able to close his open mouth.

  “What the hell is that?" 

  Staring at the now dead reptile on the floor all the humans couldn't believe their eyes. 

 With a body that was over twenty meteres long and a width that was twice that of a fuel barrel this thing wasn't just a monster,no rather it was a terror among monsters!

 If titanoboa was still alive it probably would have looked like this! Judging from energy waves coming off this thing it was probably at the commander stage!

Wait a minute everyone paused as the cold sweat started to fall from their heads ….was that thing staying atop their heads since all these while?

   Gulp!

  There was a collective gulp from the human side as they dared not imagine what would happen if this ‘titanoboa’ got the chance to attack!

  Looking at it's equally huge head,everyone could finally spot why it dropped down dead causing another wave of shock to ripple through the crowd.

  A tiny bullet hole,too small to be noticed unless you really looked out for it was gobsmack in the centre of the monsters head. 

   One hit headshot!

  If the manticore headshot from before was to be rated as A-tier then this should probably be rankless as it was just too perfect.

  The monsters on the other hand were clearly not as excited as their human counterparts as they stared at the dead monster that was their leader.

  Without hesitation they all turned tail and staterd to flee.

  However would the humans allow them to do as they wished?

  Never!.

  And so a never imagined scene whereby monsters were running from humans ensued. 

  “Kill em bastards! all of em!”

  “Take this!”

  “Rooooar!”

  Soon sounds of battle soon resumed however this time it was not of humans and beasts fighting,rather it was of human massacring beasts. They were essentially cutting them down like a mower running through a lawn!

  And anytime a monster turned back in a desperate attempt to duke it out with a human there was always a guaranteed perfect hole in it's head.

  With the help from the mysterious sniper it was simply a massacre!

   Observing the situation below,a surprised look could be seen on Ethan's face as he started at the rifle in his grasp.

  “I never knew that I was this good with guns. It's so easy..”

  At first when he picked this gun it was just because he wanted to not that he really knew how to use it properly. After watching Greg and Burt's super short though,he suddenly had this premonition that he would be able to wield the weapon.

Lo and behold! He did use it and he used it like a pro!

   “If I told anyone that this is the first time I held a gun would they believe me?”

  Grinning,he stroked the rifle finding it more appealing to his eyes.

  Meanwhile the other gunners were unable to talk as all of them were just staring at him like they had seen a monster. Their stare was so intense that even Ethan noticed it.. 

   “W-were you previously in the military or something? How did you do that?!” with a trembling voice that betrayed his shock Mike asked.

  At this point, Mike felt like a joke when he remembered how he had run his mouth earlier. If not for the fact that they were still in battle he would have found somewhere to hid from shame. But first things first,he had to know how he was able to kill that snake monster and he was not the only one that was interested either as the other wall gunners all paid attention at him with burning stares.

  While they were far away from the battlefield,the snake monster was huge enough that it's death was simply impossible to miss. Coupled with the ear shattering report of the rifle they knew he was the one that killed it.

  Scratching the back of his head in awkwardness he contemplated on telling them the truth.

  Well they should be able to believe it right?

  With a serious face he started.

 “ Would you believe it if i said this is my first time using a gun?”

  Everyone :"....”
