Chapter 222: Wounded Blossom, Scattered on the Ground!
The rocket launcher, in terms of appearance, resembled a large single-tube firework. Designed specifically for the CatDog Rat mech by Tom and Jerry, it had dimensions that were beyond human grasp, measuring about 4 meters in length and half a meter in diameter.
Having aimed at Sphinx's delicate feathered region, Bai Song smirked evilly, his tongue briefly licking his lips. Without hesitation, he pulled the trigger.
"Swoosh!"
As Bai Song pressed the trigger, a pure red projectile, around a meter in length, shot out of the rocket launcher. It resembled a sky-soaring monkey, complete with a wooden stick attached to its tail for stability. The design was almost identical to the one used when they launched Gudako two days ago.
"What's that?!" Gudako's pupils contracted as she saw the projectile launched by the CatDog Rat mech. She instinctively pressed her left chest with her right hand, her forehead turning dark and sweat beginning to form all over her body.
Her DNA had triggered! In this moment, she recalled that two days ago, when Schrdinger launched her, he had used the same type of sky-soaring monkey. However, the one he used to launch her was much larger than this mere one-meter-long projectile. This indicated just how malicious Schrdinger was.
Gudako, the savior of the world, had no grudges or conflicts with Schrdinger. She had just wanted to catch a monkey, yet she had been beaten by his pet dog and then transformed into the brightest star in the night sky. Schrdinger was truly malevolent!
Reflecting on the past, Gudako felt resentment toward Schrdinger. Meanwhile, the projectile shot out by the CatDog Rat mech, trailing orange flames, was heading straight for Sphinx's vulnerable feathered region like an exclamation mark.
However, Sphinx, who was gazing skyward in search of the "boss" Bai Song had mentioned, remained oblivious to the incoming projectile.
To prevent history from repeating itself, Gudako quickly tried to speak up, "Sphinx, be careful... uh, uh, uh!"
"Snap!"
Before Gudako could finish, Mashu, who had anticipated that Gudako was about to cause trouble, decisively slapped her across the face and firmly covered her mischievous mouth. At the same time, Mashu cried out in shock, "Senpai, what are you doing, senpai?!"
However, despite everything, since Gudako had already shouted the name "Sphinx," the Sphinx that was facing away from the group and looking at the sky heard someone calling its name. It immediately turned around with a puzzled expression, wanting to see who was calling for it.
But this single turn revealed a horrifying sight that sent shivers down its spine. It saw a crimson sky-soaring monkey trailing orange flames, reminiscent of the yellow smoke one might see in movies or shows when someone farted, charging fearlessly towards its vulnerable feathered region.
Witnessing this, Sphinx's feathers stood on end. It had already experienced the combat power of the CatDog Rat mech. Just a punch to its knee had left a lasting ache; the pain still lingered. If this sky-soaring monkey hit its sensitive area, the mental image was too horrifying for Sphinx to even contemplate.
Luckily, the projectile's speed wasn't particularly high. It must have required Sphinx's full attention to be distracted by something else before it could hit. If detected ahead of time, evading it wouldn't have posed any challenge at all. Even an ordinary person could easily dodge something moving at this speed.
Thus, Sphinx decisively turned to face the projectile head-on, leaped up, and ascended to about fifty meters in the air to evade the attack. Having successfully dodged, Sphinx regained composure and pretended to be indifferent.
"Attempting to defeat me with such an attack...?"
However, before it could finish its statement, Sphinx witnessed an extremely bizarre scene. The sky-soaring monkey, upon reaching its intended location where Sphinx's vulnerable area was, abruptly ceased its flight. Even the flames trailing behind it grew smaller. Then, the front of the projectile turned left and right, seemingly searching for something.
Finally, the sky-soaring monkey gazed upwards, spotting the airborne Sphinx. Instantly, the projectile initiated a violent acceleration, and its flames grew even larger than when it was initially launched.
Simultaneously, it executed a sharp turn, hurtling directly towards Sphinx's plummeting... feathered area. Seeing this, Sphinx's heart turned ice-cold. Within its mind, there was only one thought echoing: "Oh no, I'm doomed."
In the next instant, the sky-soaring monkey collided perfectly with... Sphinx's feathered area. Upon impact, the sky-soaring monkey immediately exhibited its selfless devotion, sacrificing its precious life to set off fireworks for Sphinx.
"BOOM!!!!!!!!"
As an immensely loud explosion resonated far and wide, the sky was painted with a massive 'BOOM' and an expansive fireball resulting from the blast. It was as if a second sun had appeared in the sky, intensifying the scorching heat of the already blazing desert.
The fiery red glow cast upon the earth, dyeing everything crimson, as if narrating the agony of the struck feathered area.
Mournfully gazing at the fireball in the sky, Gudako shuddered and uttered with sorrow, "Did I still... fail to stop Schrdinger's mischief..."
While sympathizing with Sphinx in her heart, Gudako secretly touched her own buttocks with her right hand. Yet in her mind, she felt an immense sense of relief. It was fortunate that Schrdinger hadn't used this move against her that one night. Otherwise... just the thought of it was utterly terrifying.
"Dung~, dung~, dung~." In a certain part of a church in a distant corner of Fuyuki, the bell tower chimed at this moment. It seemed to toll in honor of Gill's ally, this exceptional employee who had fallen.
The fireball arrived swiftly and dissipated just as quickly. Within a mere few seconds, the abruptly appearing second sun hanging in the sky vanished entirely. Simultaneously, a charred lower half of Sphinx plummeted from the sky.
