Chapter 141: Aiming At...!
Because of its presence, that of the Tsero Crystals, that of the Tsero, and that of the Paru, the air in the area was incredibly charged.
A lightning bolt descended from above.
‘Tsk.’ The Paru clicked his tongue. ‘Still, that’s alright.’
The Giganto Zilla had been blessed by lightning.
‘As long as it remains in such close proximity to the Tsero, it will quickly lose that…!’
Indeed, the Tsero would rapidly drain the surplus of energy gained by the Giganto Zilla through lightning, if given time.
But Giganto Zillas do not value the duration spent. What matters is the hit, not how long the high lasts. Because, whether it lasts a long or short time, Giganto Zillas would focus on the next hit regardless.
Therefore, realizing that its energy was depleting rapidly, the Giganto Zilla decided to use it all at once.‘Shit…!’
The Giganto Zilla pointed forward with its tail. The sparks and light emitted by the crystals that covered its body started moving towards the large and pointy crystal at the tip of its tail.
Both Roka and the Paru recognized that attack.
‘It hasn’t noticed me or him, so we’re probably safe. No… If it cuts through the Tsero or if the Giganto Zilla starts moving its tail in wild strokes, it could definitely hit him!’
Fearing that, the Commander shouted at the Paru to move back as she jumped off the pillar she had been sitting on.
“Being surrounded by its targets is too dangerous!”
The Paru agreed with that statement and quickly retreated.
While going for the Tsero Crystal during the Giganto Zilla’s attack could increase the chances of obtaining it, it also increased the chances of dying. The kind of gamble that the Commander wasn’t willing to take. Not now. Not anymore.
A moment later, the Giganto Zilla’s attack started.
A concentrated stream of energy was shot from the tip of its tail.
The Tsero standing closer to the Giganto Zilla courageously presented its crystals, aiming to absorb the energy.
Unfortunately for that Tsero and others, the fact that the energy their bodies were made to absorb was concentrated to such an extent made absorbing it impossible.
The stream of energy cut through the crystal, as well as the Tsero’s body.
Like a gigantic red-hot knife being swung, the Giganto Zilla’s attack cut through everything in its way, ending more than twenty Tsero.
‘The way it’s moving its tail…’ The Commander sighed. ‘Good.’ The attack moved in the opposite direction of where they were standing.
The Giganto Zilla, as it shot the concentrated stream of energy, moved its tail diagonally and with a curb, which allowed the attack to hit as many Tsero as possible.
This also attracted the attention of more Tsero.
Additionally,
‘Shit…!’ The Paru cursed while Roka felt her heart sink.
The concentrated stream of energy had cut through the Tsero, and cut its way to…
Vrmmmm!
The Tsero Crystal, which is used to duplicate very large amount of energy, didn’t break once it was hit by the Giganto Zilla’s attack. It wasn’t pierced through.
Instead, it duplicated the energy shot at it.
How the Tsero Crystal would react, none could tell. It depended on many factors such as the angle at which it hit the Tsero Crystal, the nature of the energy being shot at it, and others.
This particular time though, the Tsero Crystal reacted at the energy it swallowed by…
Pierce- Pierce- Pierce- Pierce-
Pierce- Pierce- Pierce- Pierce-
Pierce- Pierce- Pierce- Pierce-
Pierce- Pierce- Pierce- Pierce-
Producing four streams of energy, just as powerful as the one shot by the Giganto Zilla, and just as concentrated.
Each of the four streams was shot in a different direction, leaving the Tsero Crystal from a different side and angle.
Unlike the Giganto Zilla’s attack, which was directed and moved by its tail, the streams ejected by the Tsero Crystal moved in a straight line.
Each pierced through a dozen Tsero’s bodies, leaving a clean, round, and uninterepted hole through them.
Seeing this, Roka couldn’t stop her hand from twitching nerveously.
The Tsero Crystal they had come for could have ended their lives.
At first, the Giganto Zilla was a welcomed addition. A perfect distraction.
But now, it was an incredible threat. With the Tsero Crystal in the equation, their survival rate changed, becoming much more heavily influenced by luck.
Just like the Tsero that were pierced through had gotten unlucky, she and the Paru could have gotten just as unlucky.
As the streams ejected by the Tsero Crystal moved, Roka thought that getting rid of the Giganto Zilla had to become a priority now.
It is while thinking that, that Roka noticed where one of the streams was going.
“It’s going…!”
Straight back at the Giganto Zilla.
Roka hoped to see the stream act the same way on the Giganto Zilla as it did on the Tsero. Even if it meant decreasing the chances of the mission succeeding, staying alive was more important.
The Giganto Zilla, having just shot its attack, still had its tail pointing forward.
And as the Tsero Crystal shot back, the Giganto Zilla felt a familiar sensation.
It moved its tail, directing its pointy end at the stream.
Immediately, the Giganto Zilla’s crystals, which had lost their light, gained part of it back.
The Tsero Crystal had, in fact, duplicated the energy by twelve.
Four streams, each holding three times more energy than had been shot at it.
The Giganto Zilla’s stream hadn’t been fully shot at the Tsero Crystal. It had only remained on the Tsero Crystal for about a second before continuing to move.
The energy gained back by the Giganto Zilla was, therefore, much lower than the energy it had shot.
Still, that was enough to get it excited.
The Giganto Zilla pointed with its tail, having found a new target. A new playmate.
“No…!” Roka muttered, as the Giganto Zilla shot straight at the Tsero Crystal.
