Chapter 56: Speech

The beheaded Granilith started falling to the ground.

The Paru grabbed it before it could collapse, and slowly lowered it.

‘It would be better not to catch their attention so soon.’ The Paru looked around for a moment. ‘Now that I look at it from here, there isn’t just machinery, but also weaponry. Guns, cases of ammo… They really did leave in a hurry. I understand now why they complained about their lack of weaponry and ammo.’

The Paru’s lips curled up slightly.

‘Sending me here was a great idea, Raya.’

Before heading further away from the edge of the forest, the Paru turned around, catching one last glimpse of the female Granilith.

‘She’s still sitting there. Good.’

In the area stood more than forty creatures, Graniliths and Wizzos combined.

‘No Alphas, at least…’

The Paru thought of a quick way to deal with them.

‘The guns, the ammunition, and the gunpowder… I could make them all blow up.’ He chuckled at the thought. ‘Doing that would make coming all the way here completely useless. It’s unlikely that I’ll be able to defeat all of them without being noticed. Wizzos and their blades are the bigger threat. I’ll start with them.’

As he walked towards them, the Paru decided on how he wanted to use his Skill Points.

On his strongest offensive Skill… Which wasn’t truly an offensive Skill.

[You have used 1 Skill Point.]

[Your “Invisibility” Skill becomes “Invisibility Lv2”.]

[Small amounts of organic or inorganic matter coming into contact with your body when the Skill is active will turn invisible after a certain period of time.]

‘Aha.’

The Paru pierced through a Wizzo’s head with his blade arm.

The blade entered the Wizzo’s body so easily that it nearly impaled it from front to back.

The Paru quickly pulled his arm out of the wound. The Wizzo fell to the ground, and the blood that covered the Paru’s arm started slowly fading.

‘So it’s almost like the blood is being assimilated? That could linked to my Devour Skill later on somehow, no?’

The Paru continued assassinating Wizzos.

Luckily, he managed to get rid of five of them, before the rest noticed.

Their croaks and growls resonated powerfully throughout the area.

The Paru feared that, hearing such sounds, the female Granilith would show herself.

She had no such thought.

Despite hearing the noises, she remained seated at the edge of the forest. Her hand delicately plucked a purple flower out of the ground.

The female Granilith didn’t fear for her mate.

She trusted him more than anyone else. She trusted his strength more than anything else.

The Paru clicked his tongue as the Graniliths on the other side of the area turned in the Wizzos’ direction and roared.

‘If they fight in the middle, they’ll end up breaking more stuff. I have to kill all of those who look like they’re about to step on or collide with the weaponry and machinery.’ The invisible Paru thought to himself as he started running towards the center of the area. ‘Can’t forget that if I let these Graniliths do as they please, they might end up making this whole area explode!!’

Huff- Huff- Huff-

‘That was tough…’ The Paru thought to itself, breathing heavily. ‘Really freaking tough.’ He pushed himself off the ground. ‘I was scared of things exploding, but I suppose if they were so easy to make explode, they already would have, since the gunpowder and weapons have been here for a while.’

The Paru brought a hand to his chin as he thought.

‘They went from where they’re from to the planet where the Tsero Crystal can be found. This journey already took a while because they needed to conserve energy so that the fuel brought could last them the whole trip. They had two spaceships. This one…’ The Paru looked around him, and the answer was obvious. ‘Was used to transport the weapons, machinery, and ammo. The other… Maybe they stored the fuel in the other spaceship? A lot of these machines are unique, and they need to be together… Maybe this one had seventy percent of the weapons and machinery, while the other had seventy percent of the fuel? The fuel used can be stored… Mmm…’

The Paru took a seat on the ground.

‘I should probably check these cases. I might find something-‘ Just as he hung back to stretch, he felt the back of his head come into contact with something.

Her incredible breasts.

She was kneeling behind him, passing her hands over his arms as he rested the back of his head against her breasts.

‘Feels like I might sink into them…’ The Paru thought with a slight smile as he closed his eyes.

It only lasted for a minute.

The Paru quickly started walking around, checking the different cases and boxes.

Inside one of them,

Open-

‘Ha? Seriously…?’

The Paru was intrigued.

The box was different from the others. It was much, much heavier. More sophisticated.

Upon unlocking it, a cold mist left the box.

‘That’s…’

Within it lay the frozen corpses of eight Workas.

‘I don’t know how much time passed since they left this place but… Could it be that a Granilith stored them in here? It is possible for a Granilith to be smarter than the others. It’s also possible for that Granilith to have died without having had the opportunity to share his hiding spot with anyone…’

The Paru reached for the bodies within the box.

‘Frozen solid. Will this work?’

[It might.]

‘Not very reassuring, but I’ll try anyway.’

The Paru immediately lay the bodies on the ground.

‘I hope I will be able to get it without eating all of them.’ He scratched his head. ‘Bringing their bodies would definitely win me some points with the Commander… And the others, of course.’

The female Granilith peeked from behind the Paru, watching curiously.

‘Let’s go for it.’

The Paru started devouring the frozen bodies.

Luckily, eating three bodies was enough.

The Paru’s throat started twitching.

He brought a hand to it, and coughed three times.

[You have Developed the Skill “Speech”.]

The Paru pushed his throat around with a hand.

“Perfect.” He muttered. “That’ll help.”
