Into The Portal: Monster Invasion - Chapter 365: Damsel in Distress
“Stupid! Stupid! Stupid!”
“All of them are stupids! I hate them! I hate everyone.”
The forest quivered with the shouts of a young lady. She had dark hair falling on her shoulders and dark blue eyes looking around in anger. Her face carried the sentiments she conveyed with her foul mouth. There was despise, anger, superiority, and resentment.
The armor she was wearing was dark red in color and looked good on her fit body. She was walking gracefully despite carrying a shield on her back, a sword on her thin waist, and a pair of guns at her sides. There was a bag fastened on her thighs where she kept the magazines for the pistols.
Other than all that, there were two rings on each hand, both crafted specially to protect this young lady. Just by looking at her once, one could deduce that she was someone important.
“Now that all of them are lost, I can’t even use energy. I am away from the stronghold, and there are monsters everywhere!” She cried in a grievance. This person was Marcela Cross, the Witch of Elements. She was on an endeavor with a team of bodyguards. People she trusted most in Portal World, but in the midst of a battle, she was thrown away by the giant humanoid monster they set out to kill. Now, she was alone in the middle of nowhere and had no one that could share their powers with her, making her useless.
“ROAR!” A cry of a monster shook her off as she crouched down near a giant rock. She pulled out a binocular from her bag and looked in the direction of the sound. There, she saw a giant mouse walking without any care in the world. Whatever stood in its way would be destroyed by its step and it was heading towards her. Its nose was smelling the air like a hungry wolf.
“Useless imbeciles!” She muttered angrily as she pulled out her pistols. They were already loaded, so she aimed at the head of the beast and pulled the trigger. Two bullets, one lightning elemental, and the other fire hit the monster on each eye at the same time and met with each other at the monster’s brain. The explosion of two elements blasted the monster’s brain from within, and the creature fell down, dead.
“I will have them all hanged for making me suffer like this!” She spitted on the ground and turned back to walk away as he put her guns back in the holster. But in the next second, the ground she was standing on split open. From within, a creature jumped out with its giant maw wide open. Open enough to devour Marcela in one bite.
Marcela, with her eyes wide open, looked at the giant mouse. When she was about to be eaten whole, a pink barrier surrounded her body and protected her from the monster’s sharp teeth. Marcela pulled the sword on her waist and stabbed it at the creature’s mouth and jumped away. The creature thrashed around in pain with the sword stabbed to its palate, but two bullets ended its misery before it could do anything about it.
“Perfect! Now even useless Miles saves me.” She rolled her eyes and pulled the sword from the creature’s body as she walked away.
“I can’t use orbs and forged weapons are almost useless without energy. If I encounter any strong creature, I will die for sure.” She thought as he tried to find her way between the thick trees.
“What do we have here?” A voice made her shiver as she was walking cautiously. She turned to look at the source of the voice and cursed in her mind when she saw that there were two dozens of men looking at her with a sneer.
“Marcela, Cross.” The leader spoke with an impact as he emphasized each word. “All alone.”
“Who are you?” Marcela asked in a defiant manner without showing any fear.
“Me?” The leader showed himself. His face looked confused and naive. “I am nobody. No, no. In front of your highness, we all are nobodies, right boys?”
“Yes.” The rest shouted in unison.
“See, we are little nobodies, but even we know that the little princess of Cross cannot use her powers without people around her. And it seems to me that you are all by yourself.” The leader said with a nasty grin.
“And how do you know I am all alone?” Marcela asked as she pulled out her sword and a pistol.
“We saw you battle with the monsters, you know. We were following for a while.” The leader said and slapped his forehead, “Of course, you didn’t notice. You can’t use energy since you are alone.”
“What do you want then?” She asked as she bit her lip, which was a counterproductive move. It only made her sexier in front of lustful beasts who were eying her.
“Nothing exciting, honey.” Leader licked his lips as he took a step forward. “Only revenge.”
Marcela fired her pistol toward the leader and took a step back. She was eying a place where she could fight ever since she spotted the two dozen men, and she found a narrow opening. It was the best place she could fight with a crowd, as she could limit their numbers.
The leader understood what her plans were, but didn’t act to stop her. He let her enter the narrow opening and walked slowly. When she was near the narrow opening, he softly touched the rocks and in the next second, the rocky terrain blasted away.
“You have no way out today. When you die and come back as a ghost, tell Mercer to remember. He might be invincible, but his bloodline is not.”
