THE STRONGEST NEXULYTE

Some people could be seen gathering scraps on the streets while others walked about doing one thing or the other, some kids could be seen running around playing while others fought over food on the streets; it was just like any other day with nothing out of the ordinary.

This was until the sky suddenly turned dark as if it had become night in the middle of the day, accompanied by a loud sound that was as loud as an explosion and the whole outskirt shaking vigorously as if an earthquake had occurred.

Grrrr!!

A thunderous growling rang in everyone\'s ears as slimy liquid splattered from above and landed on some people.

Everyone froze, their eyes trembling from terror as they prayed desperately to be hallucinating, but was it possible for so many people to hallucinate about the same thing at the same time?

A young boy around the age of seven in tattered clothes stiffly turned around and looked up, he was one of the people who had received a drop of the strange liquid from the sky.

Looking up, the boy\'s eyes shrank to the size of a needle; his face drained of all color and became as pale as white paper.

It had not turned night in the middle of the day, it was a huge shadow that had been cast by the sun. It was the shadow of a behemoth!

Towering above the residents of the outskirts was a creature the size of a battleship; it was so large that one could not even measure its length with their eyes.

The creature had an enormous head with frightening features that could be seen clearly despite being over a hundred meters in the air, its size was just that traumatizing.

Green humanoid face with skin looking as hard as bones, large blood-red eyes that rolled uncontrollably in their sockets like they would drop out at any time, three ghastly large noses that opened and closed in the middle of its face, and a large mouth with huge teeth with large beads of saliva dripping down from it constantly.

The slimy liquid that had touched them was its spit!

The creature had four long insect-like legs that connected its enormous body to the ground; it was like a giant beetle with a ghost\'s face!

Unable to hold himself back anymore, the boy opened his mouth which trembled for a few seconds before letting out a piercing scream.

At the same time, one of the monster\'s gigantic legs rose from the ground before moving forward; its location just happened to be above the screaming child.

The giant insect\'s leg towered above the boy for a few seconds as the latter\'s eyes became wider and wider while watching the leg that was the size of a building dropping down on him.

BOOM!!

With an abrupt sound, the screaming stopped as the leg fell down hard, and blood splattered across the place from under the monster\'s leg; the boy had left the world just like that!

Immediately after the death of the boy, all hell broke loose!

"Ahhhh!!"

People screamed in terror and began to run for their lives, trying to get as far away from the monster that had suddenly appeared and blocked the sky.

The entire place immediately became a mess as people ran without caring for anything else but themselves; the crying of children and yelling of adults immediately filled the whole outskirt.

Amidst the chaos, the monster continued to shake the earth with each step as it slowly moved deeper into the outskirts, covering dozens of meters with every movement of its legs.

BANG!

Bang!

Explosions rang out constantly as the legs of the monster crashed every building in its path and crushed people under its weight, the whole place was soon covered in blood and destruction.

Shortly after, four people appear before the monster.

These four were all in black protective body suits and carried laser guns in their hands, they were the Nexulytes in charge of guarding the outskirts as well as the four people who Ivan hated the most.

"Such a huge monster, where did it come from?" One of them voices out with mouth wide open in horror.

"The outskirt hasn\'t been attacked by monsters in a long time; a lot of people had died within just a few minutes of its appearance," another added.

"Should we run away? We can\'t defeat such a monster"

Three of the men began to panic and had thoughts of fleeing for their lives, as Nexulytes they would surely be able to at least escape from this monster; fighting It was no different from suicide!

" Shut up! Do you think we can run? What will the superiors do to us if they find out? Let\'s try to stall it, you go send a message and ask for reinforcement!"

The one who was the leader of the group, the only True king amongst them yelled at the other three. Although his legs were shaking and he had a terrified look on his face, he would not dare to run away.

The rest immediately came down under the bellowe of their leader and gritted their teeth.

"I\'ll go send the message!" One of the men said before quickly running away.

The others turned to face the monster; its front legs were less than twenty meters away, and it would reach them in at most three steps.

" Shoot at its legs! Try to slow it down!" The leader shouted before opening fire.

Tatatatatata!!!

Beans of light flew through the air and smashed into the legs of the monster as the three men fired like mad dogs while screaming at the top of their lungs.

The light beans fired by the Nexulytes smashed into the legs of the behemoth monster and caused a series of explosions; the two front legs were covered in the explosion.

Roarrrr!!

A loud roar echoed through the air as the monster came to a stop.

" Don\'t stop, keep shooting!" The leader yelled as they kept shooting with their laser guns.

He knew that these attacks were nowhere close enough to harm the monster and did not know why it stopped, but he was still glad by the outcome; stopping the monster was their objective anyway.

Suddenly, the monster moved one of its legs back slowly.

Seeing this move, the eyes of the leader showed confusion for a second before quickly changing to a dreadful look.

"Get away!" He screamed like a little girl before covering himself in Nexus energy and jumping away.

The other two were a bit slow but still reacted upon seeing their leader run away so frightened.

A second letter, the leg of the monster came down with a devastating force while crashing into the ground.

Rumble!

The earth shook as the leg of the monster created a long wide trench in the ground with its kick and sent huge chunks of hard earth and everything in its path flying forward.

Multiple loud bangs round out as those boulders and objects smash Into other buildings.

"Gahhh!!"

An anguished scream resounded as a huge piece of earth smashed into the covering of one of the men in protective body suits; the force sent the man flying while spurting blood mid-air.

BOOM!

The Nexulyte smashed into a building a far distance away, instantly bringing down half of the house in a collapse.

"Falco!!"

The leader and the other man shouted and immediately went to look at the condition of Falco who had been sent flying.

Despite being a Nexulyte at the Mortal King rank and having been protecting his body with Nexus energy, Falco suffered multiple injuries with many of his bones breaking due to the collision. He was currently spurting out mouthfuls of blood with white eyes, he would have died had he been an ordinary person.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

The monster, after finally dealing with the annoying pests, resumed moving.

.....

In San Pluto, after receiving the news from the outskirts concerning the attack of a behemoth monster that suddenly appeared from the border, the tower immediately began to organize a team to provide backup.

Watching the group of Nexulytes dressed in black protective body suits and carrying laser guns rushing in the direction of the teleportation vault from his office, James wore a neutral expression as he turned to look at Nathan; Nathan was one of the instructors in charge of the trainees morning training.

"According to the report of the people stationed there, the monster should be on par with a Partial Lord Nexulyte or even stronger. Adding to its size, I\'m afraid that those people will be unable to hold it off long enough for help to arrive," James said to Nathan, who stared back at him without a change of expression.

Pausing for a few seconds, James continued.

"That outskirts is where Ivan is from, not just him, two other promising trainees also have families there. It would be bad if something happened to them. I\'ll need you to go ahead of them, with your talent, you should be able to get there faster. Get things under control before the rest arrive" James said seriously.

" Understood" Nathan resounded before disappearing from the office.

James turned back to look in the direction of the teleportation vault.

" The border huh…Should have expected it"
