Chapter 127: Calmly, And Patiently

‘Wise choice.’ He nodded. ‘I am a bit disappointed though.’

Sigh-

‘Guess I’ll keep following like this for a bit longer.’

With the spaceship being out of view, Roka had no reason to attract the Giganto Zilla’s attention to herself.

She hid behind a crystalline structure, making sure that the Giganto Zilla wasn’t looking in her direction, before making a run for it.

‘Since there’s only me, it’s way easier to move without being noticed!’ Roka circled around the Visero, hiding behind a crystalline structure every time that it turned in her general direction. ‘I can make it!’

The Paru pressed his lips together.

‘Guess I should stay away too… Since they can detect me despite my Invisibility Skill being active.’

Both circled around the Giganto Zilla unnoticed and went on their way.

‘Mm…’ The holes in the Paru’s back tingled. ‘I’ll leave that for later…’

With the new Skills obtained, he couldn’t wait to test himself against a Giganto Zilla once more.

‘Not now. I’ll do that once I’m alone…’ His gaze lingered on Roka, who was moving quietly and stealthily. ‘I can’t endanger them every time that I want to fight.’

The Paru scratched his head after a moment, remembering his time in Roka’s room.

‘She’s very different from how she was then… More importantly…’ He let out a silent sigh. ‘I’m different than how I was then. Back then, I would have spent all this time eyeing her. And touching her in her sleep… Well, Rea did the same to me, but still…’ The Paru scratched his neck. ‘I don’t need stuff like that. In the first place, I was just so horny after being reborn… Anyways…’

Another dozen minutes passed.

The Paru was surprised at how quick and clean Roka’s progress was.

‘She doesn’t waste any time, and she quickly decides whether it’s worth shooting or not… Quickly telling whether they’re coming towards her or whether they’re going to move out of the way… It really is amazing.’

Another pack Cryna Hurna was noticed by the Commander in the distance.

“Tsk…” Roka clicked her tongue.

Unlike earlier, they weren’t standing in the open. Instead, the area where they stood was filled with crystalline structures, hiding and sheltering them.

“Can’t get a clear shot from here…” She whispered, but didn’t stop watching through the scope.

Unable to get find an appropriate line of fire to deal with one of the Cryna Hurna in one shot, Roka moved the rifle to count them instead.

“Shit…” She cursed with a low voice. “Fifteen. Way more than before…”

Circling around them would be trouble, as their eyesight and hearing were sharp.

There was no doubt in Roka’s mind that the Visero would attack upon noticing her.

“I’ll just have to wait for a clear line of fire to show itself. Once one is shot, the others will move frantically, which will make shooting them easier. Once they notice me, they’ll run towards me, which will make it even easier.”

The Commander calmly and patiently remained on one knee, waiting.

‘…’ The Paru could feel his patience running thin. ‘If I was here, I definitely would have taken the shot already. Even if the first shot doesn’t kill one, it’ll still have the same effect of making them move around nervously and randomly…’

The Paru scratched his head as five minutes passed.

His gaze lingered on the Commander.

She hadn’t moved by an inch.

Roka was still on one knee, watching through the scope of her sniper rifle.

While she, previously, only evoked feelings of lust within him, something else started to rise within the Paru.

He placed a hand on his chin, watching closely.

At no point did Roka’s focus break. At no point did she even move a muscle.

Patiently and calmly.

‘I’m getting shivers from watching her…’ The Paru’s lips curled up nervously. ‘Whether against those Ornidon back on the Planet I first opened my eyes on, or on Tyl against the Wizzos’ Alpha… I had no patience. I let my emotions get the better of me. Attacking right away… Getting into the Alpha’s mouth…’ The Paru almost let out a chuckle. ‘That was pretty sick though, to be honest. Still, this level of patience, waiting for the perfect opportunity…’

The Commander, who previously only evoked lust from within the Paru, started evoking a slight sense of admiration.

‘She’s like…’

There was no other way to describe Roka.

‘A lioness baring her fangs, waiting for the prey to mess up.’

And mess up, the prey did.

Suddenly, two shots were fired in quick succession.

The Cryna Hurna turned in every direction, surprised and confused by the sudden noise.

Their confusion grew, as they watched two of their brethren fall to the ground.

“Phew…” Roka took a deep breath in and out.

The next shot will probably show them her location.

Bang!

A third Cryna Hurna fell as an empty shell spun in the air.

One-fifth of the pack had been brought down.

All twelve remaining Cryna Hurna turned in the Commander’s direction, which she had been waiting for.

Her aim was already on one of them, as it turned towards her,

Bang!

The bullet passed through the eye, reaching the brain.

“Eleven left.” Roka whispered.

The Cryna Hurna started moving closer as they growled.

Their intellect was on the higher side, so they moved carefully, hiding behind the crystalline structures.

“Phew…” Roka breathed out as she aimed.

There was no reaction from her.

Whether the shot was difficult or easy to make, whether there were 2 or ten targets… The instant that a clear line of fire presents itself,

Bang!

The Commander would take it.

‘She’s not even simply shooting for them… She only shoots when the eye or interior of the mouth can be targeted. One shot, one kill… Nothing less than that.’

The Cryna Hurna soon left the crystalline structures hiding them.

They ran forward as fast as they could, but didn’t move in a straight line.
