Harem Reborn - Chapter 273
[Day 2/1825 on The Godless Green Earth A.I World]
The two of us floated along, we were drifting down the coast, but so far we had no luck. Where would gigantic monsters hide? The world was broken apart enough that it wasn’t impossible to believe that they might be able to hide.
“You should have asked the others if there was any way to find them?” Mikota asked from my arm.
She was cuddled into my chest and being adorable as normal, but she was right. I should have asked the others first, but I was more concerned about getting out there and finding them so I could start more farms. Now, I was stuck wandering about, and no trace of any Gialazsars anywhere.
“You are right, but at the same time, I wanted to look down the coast to see if there were any other human bases near. I also don’t want to go too far inland at the risk of getting lost.”
“Hey, look! There is something making dust farther up! Two things!” Mikota said with excitement pointing her hand forward.
I looked ahead to where she was pointing, and sure enough, there was one dust cloud that was staying in one spot and the other was bigger and moving towards the other. I had no idea what was going on, but I was sure that it wasn’t good.
I turned on the speed and rushed forward, but I stayed about thirty meters off the ground. As we got closer I could finally see what was going on.
There was a group of soldiers with guns shooting at a massive yellow Gialazsaur with purple stripes. The small guns were having no effect and the Gialazsaur was winning, but there were a group of tanks rolling this way and they might be more effective against her. What to do?
“Let me go down and help her, and you deal with the tanks!” Mikota said, starting to get hot in my arms.
“Oh? I will just go deal with the tanks?”
“Just put me down and stop complaining! It’s your job to do the impossible, and I see you do it all the time! So, down, before I transform in your arms!”
I dropped us down and then at about ten meters with her damn near burning my skin off, then Mikota jumped. I watched her transform and land down beside the yellow Gialazsaur. I was worried that she might attack Mikota, but she kept doing what she was doing.
I turned from them and rose back into the air to go and deal with the oncoming traffic that was about to crash the party. I had the power of earth, and that should be more than enough for the job. I dropped down to the ground and let go of my dirtball; I was going to need all my brain cells for this one.
The tanks were still about two hundred meters away from me, but one shell had already been fired to miss me twenty meters short and two the right. I needed to get something done about this now or I was going to be blown to bits.
I reached down and under the road with my mind, willing my power to take a hold of the thirty-meter section of the road. The ground shook and groaned as I sweated, using all of the power that I had at my disposal. I lifted up half a football field that was over two meters deep into the air.
The tanks were trying to back up now and turn around, but it was too late. They did manage to get a shot in that was only ten meters away, but I was so focused that I hardly even noticed the spray of dirt. I pushed the section of land up and then over, for it to come crashing down on the tanks that were trying to escape.
The earth crushed and buried them under thousands of tons of dirt and there was no more movement from them. That had taken a lot out of me, I felt like I had just run all day, but that had to be expected after moving that much earth. I wouldn’t be able to do that again anytime soon.
That meant that I wouldn’t be able to do all the fighting. I wouldn’t be able to help until things got tight, but that made sense. In a Real-Time-Strategy, the commander was someone that had special skills that could be used at crucial points. I would have to build up an army, but that also meant that there would be a chance to lose some of the people I was trying to save.
I turned back to the girls, but they were still fighting off the troops, but then I had to turn away quickly and threw up. I just watched Mikota step on a human soldier and made the body explode like a bag full of blood. I had never seen something like that in the entire time I had played the game, but I needed to help the girls, the WorldBreakers weren’t dead yet.
I would have to see them that way, as WorldBreakers, not as humans. This wouldn’t be the last time I would be exposed to this kind of thing. I needed to harden up my resolve now, while I still had the chance for a small fight like this.
I pushed my tired away and rose back in the air, bringing a group of fist-sized rocks up with me. I watched and saw a WorldBreaker raising an RPG to fire at Mikota, but I removed his head using a rock pushed as hard as I could, causing blood to spray up from the neck as the body fell with the RPG.
That made everyone turn to me and I had to start killing with fervor. I was not bulletproof, or I didn’t think I was, and I didn’t want to try and test the theory. I let the rocks fly around me like a cyclone and they killed with extreme brutality. They smashed and broke bodies, leaving them missing chunks, bleeding out, screaming in pain, and mangled.
I watched it all, every second of it, and let the horror and carnage burn into my eyes. I listened to the visceral cries and let them assault my ears cutting the sounds into my soul. I absorbed the violence and destruction like a physical thing, and soon it was quiet.
Only Mikota and the yellow Gialazsaur were left and both beasts stared at me. I was covered in blood, and I could feel it start to coagulate on me, but I didn’t care. I floated down and then walked forward, placing my bloodied hands on the waiting head of the yellow geometric monster, and pulled the Gi from her body.
Mikota was already shrinking back down in a cloud of steam as I gently laid the blonde woman’s naked body down onto the sand. She was looking up into my eyes with tears filling them.
“It’s okay, I am here now, and my name is Dave. Just rest and I will take you back to your partner. You have had a long battle, but the war is not over yet, but you can rest for now,” I said to the woman, looking into her purple eyes.
“I am Kie, is Gix okay? And are you the one that the wall said would come to save us?” Kie asked, barely able to keep her eyes open.
“Yes, I just saw him, and I am the one spoke of. Things will be…”
But she was already asleep. Mikota came over to me and looked at me with disgust.
“You need a bath!” She scolded, but then she got a worried look. “Are you going to be okay? What you just did…I know you had to, and you did it to save us, but are you okay?”
“No, but I will get over it, this will happen again and it will be worse next time. I need to be prepared for this, so from now on we only refer to them as WorldBreakers, okay?”
“Sure, and I second that. I saw you puke when I stepped on one, so I was worried that this might be really bothering you.”
“Oh, it does, but like I said I have to do it, and when it comes to the safety of my people and the people I love, I won’t let anything get in my way from doing my job of saving everyone!”
“Good my boy! Well said!”
I almost jumped out of my skin.
“HEY! STOP DOING THAT!” I yelled at Gripton who had just appeared in front of us, clapping his hands.
“I am sorry that you needed to do this, but both of us know that this is the place to get rid of that frailty! The Godless Green Earth is on par with the Zodiac worlds you created, but the WorldBreakers are a lot more savage than just a normal human. You have been bathed in blood and walked in the fire of true battle where people died horribly and painfully.”
“Oh thanks, just what I always wanted! To bathe in the blood of my enemies,” I said rolling my eyes.
“Ya, that doesn’t look comfortable. If you go out a mile offshore there will be a small lake to go bathe in but stay out of the big one, you will need that later, and you don’t want to bathe in your drinking water!”
Then he was gone.
