Chapter 228
Lucky 228
Calix and Devon rushed to the horde of monsters. All of them were water-type Aberrants and some could inflict poisons. Thankfully, Calix was wearing a Battlesuit and Devon used the surrounding mist to deflect the monsters'' attack.
They traveled dozens of meters but they found that they were stuck in the middle of the monsters'' horde. There was no ce to move forward, even their rear was surrounded by the Aberrants.
Mento transformed into a double-barrel shotgun and the monsters in front of them blew apart. The flesh rained down on their own species yet no one felt sad or sympathy toward their deaths.
Devon and Calix started, a barrage of attacks hitting the Aberrants and they fall one by one.
"Be careful, looks like some of them are 3rd ss and I can even sense some Tiger ss."
Devon could feel that strong monsters were hiding in the horde. They were waiting for the right time to kill them.
"Don''t worry-- Woah!!"
Calix lost his bnce because he stepped on the blood, when he regained his footing, he realized that Devon was staring at him with awe.
"What?"
"Did you just dodge it? As expected of you, son of the Steel Legion!"
Devon praised him while swinging his fists.
"What do you mean?"
Calix didn''t know what Devon was saying. He just slipped, when he stood up, Devon was gazing at him as if he was a higher being.
"A Tiger-ss Umibozo tried to shoot you and you evaded it!! Don''t you know that a Tiger-ss Umibozo can shoot faster than a bullet? Even I will have a hard time dodging that!"
"Ah..."
Calix didn''t know what to say. He decided to focus his mind on the enemies. He pulled the trigger and another dozen of monsters ruptured into pieces.
Calix started firing without any hesitation, he fought many battles like this months ago when he became a soldier. He was confident at least.
Corpses after corpses build up on the way as they moved forward.
"Huh? Strange, I''m confident that I sense some Tiger-ss earlier. Why can''t I feel them now?"
Devon found it odd.
"Maybe they escape."
"That''s possible, but they are quite strong so it shouldn''t be..."
What they didn''t know was that all of the 3rd-ss and Tiger-ss were dead. Calix killed them without knowing. He just keep shooting and the Tiger ss monsters, unfortunately, died despite trying their best to hide and evade the bullets.
After they created a path in the middle of the horde, they didn''t think twice and immediately fled. Their mission was to save Scarlett, fighting these monsters would be detrimental and a waste of their time.
Furthermore, both of them understood that this was just the start. Thest Blood Moonst almost five days before it ended. Millions of people died in that tragedy and a few countries ceased to exist because of it.
''This means that more monsters will appear. Even if we sessfully killed all of them, another batch will show up. On top of that, we are in the middle of the ocean where water-type Aberrants could swim freely and attack the ind... And to make matter worse, this ind attracts these monsters. We are fucked. The tower is still working, and more monsters will show up.''
Calix knew that the only way to ovee this crisis was to escape the ind. He has to save Scarlett first, then, he would look for the others. Yuna could take them wherever.
"Let''s hope that Kimberly and Patricia are fine."
Kimberly had weapons in herboratory, some were still in the experimental stage but it was better than nothing.
Suddenly, the two stopped moving. They felt slight tremors from the ground. Both of them understood that something big wasing.
They duck down. The earthquake became stronger.
"Rooaaaarrr!!!"
An ear-piercing roar shook the ce and they covered their ears.
"W- what is that!!?"
They witness a giant creature smashing the monsters. The creature was almost three meters tall. It looked frightening as it was holding a blood-covered hammer.
The creature raised its hammer and doom descended upon the monsters of the sea. The flesh of Umibozos and Shokoys scattered across the ce.
"That''s a Kapre!"
Devon was shocked.
"Kapre!!? We are in the middle of the ocean!! It''s impossible for and-based Aberrant to get here unless something magical happened!!"
Calix retorted. He saw a Kapre once when he visited the Border. Kapre weremonly living in the Forest of Death. Furthermore, Kapre usually has dark brown skin, but this one was different. It has greenish skin and it has horns.
"I don''t know!!"
"Kapre don''t have horns!!"
"Okay, fine!"
They hide in the corner, hoping that the creature won''t find them. However, when they studied the creature, they realized that it was only attacking the Aberrants.
It was normal for Aberrants to kill each other, sometimes they do cannibalism and feast on their own but this ''Kapre'' was different. It pulverized them, turning them into meat paste.
Calix''s pupils were slightly shaken.
" No, it can''t be..."
The more Calix looked at the creature, the more he realized that it resembles Nikki. Even the hammer that the creature is holding resembles Corco, although it is much bigger.
Calix recalled something important. He had sex with Nikki for almost a month, yet he didn''t find anything Lucky about her.
"Is it possible that..."
"Hey, what are you thinking!? We have to leave this ce!! you said that we have to find Scarlett Robinson. I don''t know why that Kapre is not attacking us but it''s the best thing for us to leave!"
Calix was awakened by Devon. He realized that he had something to do. He looked at the creature that was fighting the Aberrants. Calix gritted his teeth. He had an inkling... Sad to say, Calix still prioritized Scarlett. He was a selfish person and he would do everything for his most beloved.
Calix hopes that everything would be alright.
''I promise I will save you!!''
Devon and Calix rushed out and left the ce where a tall creature was fighting the monsters like a rabid dog by swinging her golden hammer. Spoiler
