NOVEL NEXT Chapter 97: All out
the distance from which the crawler had stopped before the clearing was around 3km in length. It was just far enough to be viewed as a passerby but close enough to allow one to do a quick scouting.
Hopping from one shadow to another Enzo slowly drew closer to the clearing, his breath tempered and steady as he observed the surroundings.
It was what he saw in the vision quite alright, but this Place was much creepier than he felt in the dream.
There was no sighs of life, not a single movement, nothing. Even birds didn't seem to want to fly overhead.
'There it is'
At the edges of the clearing, enzos shadow emerged from the back of a tree as he peered onto the tunnel meticulously hidden beneath layers of coverings.
That was where he needed to be to verify the prey, but even now he was having cold feet.
This wasn't some random terror or great terror, a demon was something he really could not mess with.
'In and out, that's all'
Enzo convinced himself to go through with it as in the next second he disappeared from where he stood and sank into the tunnel…
Time passed slowly
Then all of a sudden a vicious roar resounded from within the tunnel as a small three legged humanoid creature with spider legs rushed out of the tunnel in anger.
It looked like it was chasing after someone, but there was no one to be found. This however dud not stop the creature from going after every scent of the intruder it could find.
From the crawler 3km away, Savage wolf held out his hand signaling for everyone to be quiet while he stared down the binoculars.
He took instant pictures of the strange creature running headless in the middle of the opening searching for a target that it could not accurately lock on to.
After a good 30 minutes of its futile search, the creature finally got exhausted and went back into the tunnel forgetting everything that has happened.
It was only then that enzos shadow blasted from its hiding place and appeared far away from the creature repeatedly phasing towards the crawler.
"Was that enough?" As soon as he entered the crawler Enzo asked a bitter smile on his face and a large gash of blood trailing down his combat suit..
That little thing was a terror, he could only imagine how strong mother venom milk has really become.
Savage wolf nodded showing Enzo the pictures of the beast while staring at the large from his chest.
This kid didn't seem moved by that at all.
"Call it in" verifying the pictures Enzo nodded and spoke.
"Already did" everyone spoke in unison
At the Somewhere in the sky's of defi, an old man with a black uniform and a saber on his side could be seen drifting pushing past the wind.
His face was filled with a mix of seriousness and a deadly killing intent, but most of all he was excited.
In the beta crawler Savage wolf did some calibrations and computations as he pushed the crawler into a hidden location behind a tree..
Just now, they had received a strict warning from master seth warning them to give what was about to happen some space.
Of course, they didn't want to go so far away that they couldn't see what was happening..
Before their very eyes, the once still clearing felt its first gust of unbridled wind. Sending shockwaves through the very ground itself.
Right above the clearing, master seth could be seen wings spread out looking down at the hole.
Nehfim
That was master seths Avatars race.
Humanity had always believed in angles and gods, but truth was? These things were alien races…
The nehflim to be precise was a warrior Race of winged creatures, their orgin traced back to a broken super planet called Haven.
It was one of the super planets that fell to corruption, as such most who underwent their voyages and woke up on Haven had extreme hatred for the corrupted.
"Come out and meet your maker beast!!" Master seth spoke in a rather unbridled tone, releasing an aura once could only classify as brutal.
"That's a tyrant for you" Enzo muttered under his breath as the memory of Thane going crazy in their last battle flashed through his mind..
Such feats seemed impossible now.
Inside the cave a claw suddenly poked out causing the main tunnel to cave in as a crab like creature rares its head clicking its claws.
This happened two more times bringing the number up to 3 before finally some words echoed in the clearing.
"Puny neflim boy, ill fuck everyone in your race to death" a high pitched skwed voice resounded as a figure with eight legs emerged from a hole in the ground looking up at master seth.
At first glance she looked just like the little creature that had chased Enzo before. But with more legs and a body with curves and fully breasted..
"Haha, this bitch!! It's about time for you to die no? Die for me!!"
Not paying attention to the three giant crabs around, master seth unsheathed his saber and lunged himself at mother venom milk with one vicious swing.
Cut her head off
That was the first priority
Before anyone could see what was happening master seth and mother venom milk were in a full blown assault pounding into each other.
At the sane time, two other figures arrived holding massive plasma guns looking at the three giant crabs.
The two instructors that came along with them.
Master Vincent and another wearing a leather jacket with a hoodie ontop.
In quick succession, the other two opened fire at the crabs driving them back into a corner pushing them away from master seths fight.
Truth was….master seth and mother venom milk had a bit of a grudge.
This beast had participated in a seige on the human cities in defi that had killed one of the old man's family members.
Ever since then he had been hunting it, and in fact he was the reason she was always in hiding.
Finding it today was nothing short of a miraculous encounter he had to seize that moment to turn her into a trophy.
Meanwhile 4km away.
"That's just crazy, this level of fighting," Savage wolf smirked looked down his binoculars as he saw master seth slice through a tree with a single swing.
Wherever those two went serious carnage followed.
"He's the vice Regent, of course he's a monster" Iceberg and windfall spoke in unison feeling pride in the dual moon institutes upper echelon.
4th in on earth was no joke, they were monsters In the institute.
While they sat there in admiration of the well coordinated battle happened 4km away, Enzo suddenly felt a tinge of tension rush down his neck forcing him to frown.
He looked back at Raven who seemed to notice something too..
"Hold…"
Before Enzo could rush forward and maneuver the crawler, an unresistable force pushed against it sending it flying into the ground in a split second.
Boom
The gas meter was affected and a fire suddenly ignited blowing a hole through the haul of the vehicle.
"Fucker!!" Enzo cursed holding Victoria in his arms as he slowly stood up from the ground. The fire was still spreading but the hole had granted an opening to escape.
Enzo quickly pulled Raven out of the crawler and laid her unconscious body on the ground before preparing to go back in.
However, that's when he heard a growling sound that made him pause.
"It's you" Enzo smirked bitterly, unsure what to do next.
That little shit head had clawed at his chest when it set its eyes of him in the tunnel for no other reason than him looking at it funny.
"Grawww, diaaa" the creature cursed at Enzo obviously not understanding English as much as its mother..
However what it was Tring to convey was crystal clear. It hated Enzo and wanted to kill him.
"You'll have to try really hard" Enzo sneered pulling out his sand drill from out of nowhere.
Griinnn
Griimnn
It echoed through the air as Enzo became focused observing the creatures movements. It quickly swayed to the side and rushed forward relaying on two of its legs to move.
Seeing this Enzos grip tightened as he suddenly formed a guthlet from a red chitinous substance blocking the claw attack from the creature.
Without hesitating, Enzo grabbed the creature with his other hand and dragged it into the ground pushing directly into his shadow.
Two people couldn't go through of course so the beast could only slam into the ground with full force.
Seconds later Enzo appeared from another shadow and dashed at the creature only to be Met with a flurry of slippery posion spit that had him dodging each strike.
This creature, was a second generation beast born from what they called a deamon.
It made sense for it to have a sliver of intelligence. But of course this might be much deeper.
