Chapter 59: A Little Disrespect Can Be Tolerated!
The Alpha roared in the spaceship’s direction, and the Paru clapped his hands repeatedly to catch its attention.
‘Once it’s focused on him, I’ll make it spin around by moving behind it. From there, Roka and the others won’t be able to see me…’ The Paru started running towards the croaking Wizzo. ‘From then on, I’ll be able to use Invisibility freely!’
The Alpha turned its head towards the Paru, and the latter took a sharp turn towards the right.
The Wizzo turned towards the left to keep the Paru in its field of vision.
‘Good. It took its eyes off the spaceship!’
The spaceship was now to the Alpha’s right.
The Paru ran straight towards the Wizzo, and the latter’s arm moved forward.
An instant later, the Alpha’s tail was descending!‘That’s what the other was doing against the Granilith. Moving one of its arms as a decoy to grab the enemy’s attention, before striking from above with the tail! Too bad for you…’ The Paru killed his speed right away, and took a small hop backwards. ‘I’ve seen it already!’
The Alpha’s sharp tail, its tip turned into a blade, descended vertically against the ground, immediately cracking and piercing it!
Before the Wizzo could move it, the Paru struck with his shin, landing a leg kick on the Alpha’s leg, knocking it away!
‘I could have used Blade of Bones on my leg…’ The Paru thought to himself as he ran towards the Alpha’s head. ‘I’ll keep that in mind!’
The Alpha’s arm was swung, but the Paru jumped upwards just before he could be swept away.
‘Shit.’
The Wizzo wasted no time, immediately swinging its other arm, even if it meant losing its balance.
Since the Paru was in mid-air dodging was impossible.
‘I’m too close for it to use Blade of Bones. I’ll use it myself and pierce that arm! The force will probably still knock me away but…!’
The Paru didn’t have time to use his Skill.
Neither had the Alpha time to launch the Paru away.
Both froze in time and space, as a loud bang resonated.
The next instant, the Alpha’s eye was pieced and started bleeding heavily!
The Paru’s lips curled up slightly as he landed on the ground, safe from the Alpha’s swing.
‘Unlike against Granilith…’ Roka thought to herself as a trail of smoke exited the end of her sniper rifle’s barrel. ‘Guns are useful against these guys.’
“Nice shot!”
“Give me it.” Roka ordered as she cast aside the sniper rifle.
The Alpha immediately started turning towards its right, towards the spaceship.
Its right eye had been taken.
Just as it was about to roar from the pain, the Paru’s arm, turned into a blade thanks to the Blade of Bones Skill, pierced through the Alpha’s left eye!
‘Too easy!’ The Paru thought to himself as he grinned.
The blinded Wizzo roared, growled, croaked, but none of these would keep the assailants away.
‘On its back… No. Too dangerous since it’s blind. Might run straight into the spaceship. Into its mouth? I would even need to use the Mist.’ The Paru’s arm turned into a blade. ‘With this, I’ll be able to cut it up from the inside-‘
The Paru’s thoughts and movements were interrupted as,
“GET OUT OF THERE!!” Rea, Bak, and Jay shouted in unison.
The Paru immediately jumped back repeatedly, despite being unsure what the reason for that was.
Before he could even turn his gaze towards the spaceship,
‘Holy shit!!’
A beam of energy quickly, and easily, pierced straight through the Alpha’s body.
‘Those plasma guns…’
The Paru stood with wide eyes, as the Alpha let out a cry and fell to the ground, a large hole cleanly carved through its body.
‘Are so rad!!’
The Paru couldn’t help but laugh seeing the incredible impact left.
‘Of course Granilith wouldn’t stand a chance against that! Holy shit! That was amazing!’
“You never miss, as always.” Rea noted as she nodded.
“Right.” Roka shrugged as she lay the weapon back in its case.
“It uses the same fuel as the ship, and we’re here to get fuel.” Jay shook his head. “Why would you waste it?”
“Are you stupid or something?” Rea’s face wore an expression of straight disgust and disbelief.
“He is pretty stupid.” Bak chuckled as he tapped Jay’s shoulder. “We’re getting fuel from our old spot, which is something we weren’t counting on AT ALL. Keeping that guy alive is more than worth the amount a single shot uses!”
“Hmph.” Jay shrugged. “I guess.”
To take precise shots, Roka had taken a seat on the ground.
“Anyways, now that that’s done, it’s time to deal with-”
Before Roka could get stand up,
‘What is…!’ Rea froze. ‘Don’t tell me it’s-‘
‘It’s attacking now that that thing is dead??’
‘Fuck! I knew aliens couldn’t be trusted!!’
Rea, Bak, and Jay had no time to react.
Those thoughts were all they had time to muster as the female Granilith, which had been silent and immobile this whole time, started running towards the Commander!
‘Shit…!’ Roka cursed as she reached for her weapon!
The female Granilith’s speed was such that Roka knew she wouldn’t have time to fire!
The Commander could only curse internally at her blunder.
The female Granilith’s sharp claws were pointed at her!
‘Huh?’
Roka’s body froze in confusion, as the female Granilith plunged towards her!
As the Alpha’s first woman, the female Granilith would demand respect from all the females that would come after her.
Roka had obviously not exhibited the respect that the female Granilith wanted.
Still,
“What the… What the fuck?”
The female Graniliths don’t fight.
But the existence of a female that could fight alongside and protect the Alpha?
“Hihihihi!” The female Granilith laughed cheerfully with a wide smile on her face.
She had plunged towards Roka, and wrapped her arms around her tightly.
“Let me go! Fucking… Let me go!” Roka shouted repeatedly, as the female Granilith hugged and patted her head again and again.
A little disrespect could be tolerated if it meant that the Alpha could be kept safe… Though his strength meant he didn’t really need help. Still, it was appreciated.
‘I guess that’s to be expected.’ The Paru chuckled from far away. ‘She’s used to living in a tribe, so changing tribes shouldn’t be an issue. Female Graniliths are pretty harmless, all things considered…’ Reminded of how the experience with the other female Graniliths, the Paru scratched his head. ‘As long as I keep her satisfied, it shouldn’t be a problem.’ He shrugged.
“Let me go! I said let me go!!”
