Chapter 108: A Weapon?
“Go! Now!” The Paru had shouted.
Liz stared at the Paru for a moment before turning towards the spaceship.
‘Yes. I should go. A Giganto Zilla can’t be stopped by us. Especially not the two of us.’
The Soldier nodded and started running towards the spaceship.
‘We’ll be able to start up the spaceship. If he manages to keep it busy for a bit, we would even be able to take off and… And land… Somewhere else…’
Liz slowly felt her speed get lower and lower.
‘We’ll be able to move to another end of Serolia. We’ll be able to…’
It took little over another four dozen steps for Liz’s momentum to have faded.
‘But what… Would be the point in that?’A Soldier should do everything to fulfill the mission.
A Soldier should be able to sacrifice anything necessary for the sake of that mission.
‘I’ll leave him to fight alone. It can’t be helped. This makes the most sense…’
Liz suddenly turned around, the roar of thunder resonating in the distance.
‘Is this… The right sacrifice to make? What if we go to another area of Serolia… It’ll still be the same. The same as it was… The previous time…’
She tightened her grip over the bags of weapons in her hands.
‘The only thing different is his presence. His presence, and our inferiority in numbers compared to before… Then should I…? No. There’s no way for us to defeat it! If we die against it, it’ll attack the spaceship, and everyone will die! Not only that, but our mission, our people, they will…’
Giganto Zillas. The Tseros that protect the Tsero Crystals. The other Visero.
“No…”
She took a step forward.
“It’s now or never…”
Liz clenched her teeth, unsure if this one the right decision.
“Either we defeat that now, or will all die. Without him, there’s no way to make it. There’s just…” Liz clenched her fists and started running. “There’s just no other way!”
Whether the Soldier had just condemned her crewmates or not, she did not know.
Regardless, putting their lives on the line was the sacrifice she decided on.
‘If we can’t win now, then it’s worthless anyways! It’s more than probable that we will run into another Giganto Zilla! If I can’t defeat one with him by my side then… There’s no way we would be able to do it without him! We have the best chances of winning now!!’
Upon getting closer to the area in which the Paru and the Giganto Zilla were battling, Liz noticed a pack of Cryna Hurna, hyena-like Visero, being followed by a handful of Cryats.
‘They’re bringing the Cryats here to interfere. I’ll have to deal with them first!’ Liz thought to herself as she pulled multiple weapons out and into her hands.
…
“What am I, Cinderella?”
‘I don’t know what that is…’ Liz took aim, her mind filled with doubts about her decision.
The Paru noticed that no sounds were coming from the spaceship’s direction.
‘So she chose me? Wise choice… I hope.’ He cracked his knuckles. ‘Well, I’ll make sure it is.’
The Giganto Zilla roared, noticing the appearance of another enemy.
“Anything I should know about it?”
“It killed more than a dozen of us. Well, one just like it. I can dodge as long as I don’t get too close. Bullets barely work on it, so I would tire out before making real damage.”
“You’re mostly talking about yourself.”
“Yes, now I need you to do the same.”
“Why is that?”
“So that we don’t get in each other’s way.”
“I can fight it from up close.”
“That’ll have to do.” Liz whispered with a sigh, noticing that the Giganto Zilla was about to approach.
Once it did, both dodged by moving in opposite direction, and the Giganto Zilla’s wide-open mouth followed Liz.
‘Going for me, huh?’ She ran in a straight line, and the Giganto Zilla quickly started closing the distance.
Noticing that the Giganto Zilla had started running after Liz, the Paru quickly turned around, following it.
‘This’ll be easier.’ He thought, activating his Invisibility Skill. ‘As long as she manages to dodge, I can put all my focus on offense!!’
As the Giganto Zilla extended its head forward to trap Liz in its jaws, two things happened at once.
The Paru’s blade arms penetrated the base of its tail, right where the crystals had been broken off, and Liz dodged by plunging towards her right. Additionally, as she landed on her right palm, she rotated her body to shoot three throwing knives at once.
All three pierced the Giganto Zilla’s cheek from the inside, and it roared.
The real pain came from the tail though, which is what the Giganto Zilla focused on.
Liz didn’t miss that, quickly noticing that it was about to turn around.
Four shots were fired instantaneously, one landed on its scale-covered face, one on its injured eye, and two went into its open mouth, landing on the inside of its cheek.
The Giganto Zilla’s annoyance grew by leaps and bounds, as its attention was once more directly towards Liz.
The Paru’s blades pierced the base of the tail even deeper,
‘Just a bit more and it’ll-‘
The Giganto Zilla’s bucked, raising its hind legs off the ground suddenly and forcefully, causing the Paru that had been standing on the base of its tail to be launched into the air.
The Paru stopped using his Invisibility Skill the moment that the Giganto Zilla had moved, and Liz could tell that he would land behind her.
Her eyes suddenly widened as she got an idea.
Liz’s hand quickly reached for the bag of weapons.
The Paru’s feet landed on the ground. And as they did, it was tossed in his direction.
Liz wasted no time and moved immediately to dodge the Giganto Zilla’s approach, sparing only a peek at the Paru.
‘It’s… Similar to the machete she was using earlier.’
The Paru tightened his crip around it.
‘A hammer? I would have rathered a sword but… I suppose I’ll leave that fantasy for another time.’
Liz clenched her teeth as she grinned.
A stupid weapon that none of the Worka could use.
But if the Paru is able to wield it, then…
