Chapter 106: Against The Apex Predator!
Snif- Snif-
The gaze moved from right to left.
There was something.
It could sense it.
But the thing couldn’t be seen.
Giganto Zillas are able to store and output energy through the use of the Crystals that cover their bodies. With that, came the ability to detect electrical charges.
The Giganto Zilla couldn’t tell that thing is. As a matter of fact, it wasn’t sure if there really was something.It felt more like… There was something in the air.
Like the air was different, similar to the way it can tell that the air is different before lightning strikes.
Suddenly, the Giganto Zilla felt the urge to close its right eye.
Despite closing it,
Pierce-
Growl!
The Giganto Zilla’s growling got louder, as it felt something standing on its back.
Was it one of those Cryna Hurna?
The Giganto Zilla could feel it move from its nape to the base of its tail.
The next second, it was off, and a thumping sound resonated behind.
The Giganto Zilla turned around roaring, before noticing a bright piece of crystal piercing through the air, moving towards him.
It was so small that the Giganto Zilla could afford to ignore it and stepped forward towards whatever it was that had climbed onto its body.
But the next second, as the piece of crystal collided with those of the Giganto Zilla’s back, a spark was born and,
BOOM!
The combustible mist which had been sprayed all over the crystals that covered the Giganto Zilla’s back took fire, and an explosion covered its body with dust and smoke.
‘It can take in all kinds of energies… Plasma, electricity… But it can only do so through the crystals. I need to destroy them before lightning strikes again!’ The invisible Paru thought to himself as he launched his body towards the Giganto Zilla. ‘
Spiderweb Production Lv.2
Crystalline threads exited the tips of the Paru’s fingers, attaching themselves to the bottom of the Giganto Zilla’s stomach.
Feeling that, it tried to reach, but its anatomy made it impossible!
By the time that the Giganto Zilla resolved himself to instead focus and attempt to pinpoint the location of the enemy, it felt the threads around its body get tighter.
Indeed, the Paru had been moving, running, and jumping between and above the Giganto Zilla’s legs and body.
The threads tightened, but there wasn’t nearly enough for the Giganto Zilla to even see those as constraining.
However,
Snif-
Their smell was familiar. It was the same smell that the Giganto Zilla noticed before,
Spiderweb Production Lv.2 X Burning Mist Production.
BOOM!
[You have Developed the Skill “Exploding Threads” through “Skill Merge”!]
[Your “Spiderweb Production Lv.2” and “Burning Mist Production” have been stored.]
‘Tsk.’
The invisible Paru clicked his tongue.
‘There’s some damage but…’
Not nearly enough.
What made it worse was that the crystals on the Giganto Zilla’s body, on which the Paru had been focusing, had received the least damage.
Some of the Giganto Zila’s scales had been burnt, but when it came to the crystals, a very small portion of them had even been cracked.
‘Explosions and shockwaves should be able to break them, but it won’t be easy, I guess!’
The Giganto Zilla roared.
Finding the enemy was too difficult. The charged crystals around the area, from both the standing crystalline structures and the pillars it had brought down made it nearly impossible.
It was the first time that the Giganto Zilla found itself in such a difficult situation.
Had it not used up the energy from the earlier lightning strike, this would have been easier…
From the corner of its eye, the Giganto Zilla noticed something. Something it had never seen before.
The Giganto Zilla stepped in its direction, feeling that it might have something to do with the current predicament.
‘Tsk.’
The Paru clapped his hands.
“Come, on. Don’t go in that direction.” The Paru said, undoing his Invisibility. “Let’s keep it between the two of us, huh?”
The Giganto Zilla turned in the Paru’s direction, its jaws open wide.
‘Its crystals don’t exude any light. There can’t be much energy in them now. I need to finish it before lightning strikes. I’ll use Invisibility, but only from time to time. It’ll aim for the spaceship if I remain invisible. With its size, I doubt I would be able to stop its charge. Plasma would get absorbed by its Crystals, so that’s no good either. I need to keep it here.’ The Paru thought as he cracked his neck. ‘I’m fighting alone, which is perfect. And it’s going better than I expected before.’
His lips curled up slightly as the roaring Giganto Zilla stepped towards him.
“Guess I’m stronger than I thought.” He whispered, as he launched himself forward.
The Paru at the charging Giganto Zilla.
The latter extended its wide open mouth, aiming to take the Paru’s upper body.
Blade Of Bones X Weak Poison Production-
He lowered his body to the ground, letting it slide until the Giganto Zilla’s body was right above him, and pierced its stomach!
[You have Developed the Skill “Poisonous Blade” through “Skill Merge”.]
‘Not deep enough!’ The Paru noted as he undid the Skill and rolled away.
Upon noticing the Paru going below it, the Giganto Zilla had started lowering itself to crush the Paru below.
Its stomach hit the ground, failing to catch anything.
But the Paru had left it a gift.
Throwing another piece of crystal,
Boom!
‘I used Burning Mist Expulsion on the ground while I pierced its stomach… The explosion should have hurt, but it could’ve also stopped the poison and bleeding from doing damage… Still, I need to tear its scales or crystals off if I want to finish it!’
