Chapter 37: New Alpha



Chapter 37: New Alpha

\'Good thing I pulled that one out of its wound, huh?\'

The Paru watched as the Granilith ran and plunged.

A strange sensation overtook the Paru.

\'I can win this way. By attacking from above... Slowly but surely...\'

The Paru shook its head.

\'It\'s the logical way with the fewest risks. It\'ll take a while, but...\'

The Paru stared, as if in a trance.

\'Why...?\'

Why isn\'t the Granilith running away?

Why is the Granilith trying to kill, instead of running away? It\'s like it would be able to Devour anything here.

Why isn\'t it running away?

Asking itself such a question, the Paru felt a fire light up inside its stomach.

\'It\'s illogical. It\'s dangerous. Doing it that way is just...\'

The Paru could feel the extremities of each of its limbs tremble at the thought.

\'I want to do it.\'

A shiver moved up and down the Paru\'s body!

\'I want...\'

The Granilith grabbed hold of the blade-like tail, and the Alpha turned towards it, seething. Another mighty roar resonated, but the Granilith wasn\'t as afraid now, and responded with a roar of its own!

\'To shut its mouth!\'

Both creatures roared at one another! The difference in size was more than obvious, yet the Granilith wasn\'t scared!

The Alpha extended its arm and, the next second, it turned into a long and sharp blade!

\'Of course!\'

The Granilith gulped. Compared to the Alpha\'s blade, its own seemed weak and feeble.

The Alpha could smell the Granilith\'s doubt and fear.

It roared loudly... Before clamping its mouth shut?

The Granilith was confused at the sudden change in behavior.

Unknowingly to the Granilith though, a real battle was taking place.

The instant that the Alpha had opened its jaws to roar,

\'I want to do it!\'

The Paru had jumped into its mouth!

Feeling something fall onto its tongue, the Alpha had suddenly clamped its mouth shut.

The inside was slippery, so the Paru had no way to hold on apart from cutting, tearing, and piercing. In other words, what he would have done anyways.

Pincers, arms coated in metal, sharp legs.

\'Did you know...\'

The Paru used everything to make as many cuts and wounds to the Alpha!

\'Cuts from the inside get infected much more easily!\'

As the number of wounds increased, so did the pain!

The difference in size made the Paru\'s weapons feel like toothpicks, but it was different from the inside!

The Alpha realized that it was the small and feeble creature that could suddenly disappear.

It realized that that creature was what stood inside its mouth.

The Alpha started raising its head higher.

Swallowing can only work if it\'s at the back of the mouth after all. Something at the tip of the tongue cannot be swallowed.

The Paru hung on by making more cuts, and the Alpha\'s tongue moved.

Two choices.

Let yourself fall towards and into the throat, or get crushed.

The Paru decided on the first.

Well, the first part of it at least.

\'Once I noticed that...\'

They get dehydrated quickly! Being out of the water, moving so much despite their injuries, and being under the sun... All of those made it so that they can barely move now-

\'I knew this would be a good one against you guys.\' The Paru thought to itself as it started falling down.

The Granilith remained unmoving. More than ever, it was unsure what to do.

The next second, the Alpha lowered its head powerfully, its chin colliding with the ground!

It moved its head from one side to the next while dragging it against the ground!

Its eyes were wide open, red, and watery!

The Alpha hit its chin against the ground again and again before,

Ughh- Ughh-

It was trying to throw up, but the Paru was refusing to get thrown up!

Eventually, the Alpha opened its mouth, and to the Granilith\'s surprise, a great amount of steam started leaving the Alpha\'s mouth!

The Paru rolled out of the Alpha\'s mouth while great amounts of steam were exiting its body.

What exited the Paru\'s body wasn\'t steam, but a mist.

The burning and highly combustible mist of Ornidon!

The Alpha remained unmoving with its mouth wide open! Its throat, the inside of its mouth, as well as its tongue... They were all burning!

\'Even with Heat Resistance, the Ornidon took a bunch of my Endurance Points out. For you who are used to being underwater... And for whom even being under the sun for too long is a problem...\' The Paru smiled widely internally. \'The heat is your worst enemy, isn\'t it??\'

The next second, the Granilith started running forward as it roared.

\'Want to get the kill, huh? Well...\' The invisible Paru stepped away. \'Knock yourself out.\'

The Granilith ran, blade in hand, aiming to pierce the Alpha\'s eye.

But before it could hit,

BAM-

The Alpha\'s arm hit the Granilith, pinning it to the ground!

\'At this rate, you\'re going to die...\'

The Paru picked something up from the ground.

\'Doubt they would let the pet bring its own pet along.\'

The Paru chuckled internally.

\'You were a good teammate though.\' The Paru thought to itself, before using its tentacle-like arm to throw something.

He had noticed it way earlier, when throwing a stone at the Granilith. Because of its rocky and jagged skin...

To increase the odds, the Paru didn\'t throw a stone this time, but the hand that the Granilith had lost.

\'Bye...\'

The hand moved through the hair, before colliding with the Granilith\'s body.

\'It was fun.\'

Sparks were immediately created, and the highly combustible mist leaving the Alpha\'s body was ignited!

\'It\'s not just the mist leaving. The inside of its mouth, its throat...\'

Indeed, the flames started spreading and cries of pain started resonating through the area!

\'It was all covered in that combustible mist!\'

The flames spread to the Alpha\'s mouth, to its tongue, and to its throat!

And the next second,

BOOOM-

\'Ha...\' The Paru smiled nerveously. \'Hahahahhaha!\'

As the whole area was lit up and the deafening sound of the explosion resonated,

\'You\'d think it was breathing fire like a dragon if it wasn\'t being burnt! Hahaha!\'

[You have defeated the current Alpha!]

[You have completed the Side-Quest "Wizzos, A New Alpha Is In Town!"]

[You have obtained 1 Skill Point!]

[Your "Enhanced Devouring" Skill becomes "Enhanced Devouring Lv2".]

\'Now...\' The Paru smiled widely. \'The time to eat has come!\'
