Chapter 140: Assisting Both?

The Commander and the Paru directed their gazes towards one another.

“That’s…”

The Commander took aim, while the Paru cracked his neck.

“Perfect.” They whispered in unison.

The perfect distraction had shown itself.

More pillars were knocked down as the Giganto Zilla made its away towards the center area.

A place it had never seen before. A place it had never been to before.

A place that felt absolutely perfect, natural, and heavenly.

Previously, it had been wandering randomly, until it sensed something in the air.

The Giganto Zilla had moved in the area from which it sensed it and, to its surprise, it found a trail.

A clear path had been drawn and left behind.

The Giganto Zilla, sensing the same excitement it did when a lightning strike was incoming, followed that trail.

Eventually, it led to tall mountain that gave the Giganto Zilla lot of trouble to climb.

But that was no issue. It had found a treasure.

The trail had been left by the Paru, who had quickly moved, his body holding a surplus of energy.

From the first glance, the Giganto Zilla could tell that there was something special about that place. Those dark and thick clouds, the elevated terrain bringing it closer to the sky, the lights that flashed through the dark clouds again and again.

The Giganto Zilla was already salivating.

Eventually, it made it to the peak. The air was different. The sky and clouds were all around the peak.

There was only one issue.

Too many competitors were present. Too many that could steal lightning from it.

The Giganto Zilla starts knocking pillars one by one, until its huge body enters Roka and the Paru’s field of vision.

The Tsero growled while hitting the ground with their legs, trying to intimidate the Giganto Zilla away.

The latter was twice a Tsero’s size, but the Tsero were much more numerous!

Even the Giganto Zilla found it self slightly intimidated.

It opened its mouth wide, roaring, but didn’t move forward.

That is, until a bullet landed on the crystal that lay at the top of its head.

The Apex Predator immediately became enraged, leaping forward, unwilling to accept such provocation.

‘Nice one, Roka!’ The Paru thought to himself as he approached the area.

‘Change of plans, huh?’ Roka nodded. ‘Yes, that would be wise.’

The Commander debated whether or not to remain in her position.

Everything had changed with the Giganto Zilla’s appearance.

‘Knocking the pillars now would be stupid.’ The Paru thought as he ran. ‘We and the Giganto Zilla are on opposite sides of the Tsero. Their attention is focused on the Giganto Zilla. Knocking down the pillar now would only direct it onto me!’

A Tsero hit the ground with its foot repeatedly as it growled, preparing to charge at the Paru.

The latter continued running closer.

‘I’ll need to move quickly to steal it, before all of them notice me. I wish none would, but it can’t be helped. Even though their attention is on the Giganto Zilla, they notice me once I move past them.’

A roar resonated, followed by a loud whimper.

The next second,

‘Holy shit!’ The Paru cursed internally as he jumped to the right.

Right where he had been standing a moment earlier,

THUMP-

Fell the heavy body of a whimpering Tsero.

‘How did it get knocked back this far…?’ The Paru shook his head.

Thinking about that wasn’t important now.

A growling Tsero charged towards him and, before it could reach him,

Bang!

The bullet hit the Tsero’s eye, making it veer off the side.

Adding to that, the Paru used his “Blade Of Bones” Skill to deeply injure that same Tsero’s leg, making it completely lose its balance, fall, and roll on the ground, knocking against and down surrounding Tsero.

Because of the sound produced by this Tsero falling, as well as the sound produced by the Tsero that had been launched into the air falling hard against the ground, the area around the Paru had started catching the Tsero’s attention.

‘I’ll shoot them…’ Roka thought to herself as she threw the explosive balls of wrapped crystalline threads with all her strength. ‘Just in case!’

Before those could hit the ground or a Tsero’s body,

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Each of them was shot one by one, causing the threads soaked in the combustible mist to catch fire and,

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

The Paru started running again, the corner of his lips curling upwards.

‘She threw them away from me and closer to him, bringing back their attention to the Giganto Zilla!’

A dozen meters away from the Paru, another Tsero that had been launched into the air collapsed against the ground. Its whimpering worried all the surrounding Tsero.

Despite being away from them, Roka had even heard the sounds of that Tsero’s bones breaking.

‘It has the strength to hold a Tsero in its mouth, and launch it away. That one is trouble…’ Roka noted internally as she took aim. ‘That’s why it feels weird to do this.’

The bullet landed on a Tsero’s eye. A Tsero whose horns were about to pierce the Giganto Zilla’s leg.

The Tsero veered off the side, and its body collapsed against the Giganto Zilla’s leg.

A moment later, it was trapped between the Apex Predator’s jaws.

‘Since they’re not surrounding it, they can’t use their number advantage to the fullest. Some of them are starting to cower away… Should I start shooting the Giganto Zilla now?’ Roka wondered for a moment. ‘No, even if they cower away, we need their focus to remain on it. I’ll continue like this…’ An empty shell spun in the air as she reloaded her sniper rifle. ‘Assisting both the Paru… And the Giganto Zilla.’

The Giganto Zilla raised its tail upwards.

Because of its presence, that of the Tsero Crystals, that of the Tsero, and that of the Paru, the air in the area was incredibly charged.

A lightning bolt hit.
