Chapter 576: Earth: Chris’ New Strength
—–
Chris took out a few protein bars inside of his pocket and engulfed them all, alongside some dried meat, and even several multi-vitaminic pills he had saved, and swallowed it all with a lot of water.
The food filled his stomach as the energy flowing across his body continued to boost his body strength.
Chris quickly stood up and grabbed his shotgun.
“Chris…!” said Lucia, seeing him suddenly regain his composure, he even had a blazing conviction within him as his eyes shone with light.
She couldn’t help but find such a man admirable.
“I am ready! Quickly lend me a hand, Lucia!” said Chris.
“Very well!” said Lucia.
Chris and Lucia quickly ran towards the tentacles, as Chris pointed his shotgun at the group of tentacles that had managed to grab a few of his soldiers and were slowly dragging them upstairs!
“OOORRAA!”
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Chris roared loudly as he began to shoot several explosive bullets of the big type, which were even bigger than the normal ones, so big that each time he fired one, his entire body trembled.
He had not used these before because he knew that the impact of the gun could very well dislocate his shoulders, but now that he felt so strong, he constantly fired these without any restrains!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOOOOM!!!
The explosive bullets reached the tentacles, exploding one after another as the beast upstairs groaned in agony, the tentacles were engulfed in the explosive flames as the soldiers were dropped into the floor, and dragged by the other surviving soldiers.
“I’ll keep them busy! You guys support me from behind! Lucia, grill that thing up!” roared Chris.
“Roger that!” said Lucia, she quickly flew above the bullets being fired as she used the power of her flames to propel herself above the air.
FLAAASH!
She resembled a living meteor as she flew around wondrously, the explosive bullets exploded around her, stopping the tentacles trying to grab her away as she occasionally swung her arms, unleashing slashing attacks of flames and spiraling columns of fire that consumed her attacked.
Until she finally reached the second floor, and what she found was a large amount of flesh surrounding the second floor’s walls, stuck to it through a slimy substance, while an enormous crimson-red eye at the end of this fleshy corridor looked at her menacingly!
This horrendous thing was something she would had only seen in her worst nightmares- no, beyond that!
This monster had just come out directly from some sort of sci-fi horror movie or something, it was too surprising for her to realize that even monsters like this could even come to exist.
The fleshy corridor generated an endless amount of tentacles constantly, and Lucia decided to finish it off with as many flames as she could muster, filling the fleshy corridors with an explosive spiraling vortex!
FLAAAAASSSSHHH!!!
“GRYYYAAAAEEEE…!”
The agonizing scream of the beast before her made Lucia grit her teeth as she continued to pour flames. The tentacles tried to regenerate faster than she could burn them, but they quickly began to turn into ashes, and so did the entire fleshy corridor!
Lucia looked at the scene as she felt exhausted, the flames were consuming everything quickly, the beast was mostly dying by now.
However!
TRUUUM!
Suddenly, the eye within the fleshy corridor opened, tearing itself apart as another monster came from the other side!
Lucia was too tired to continue unleashing flames, as she looked at the monster, what seemed to be a humanoid monster of over three meters covered in a slimy, acidic substance!
“GROOAAAAH!”
It rushed towards her as if it were some sort of bizarre slime, and leaped towards her viciously!
“W-What kind of monster is this?! Ungh…! F-Flames!” she cried.
She pointed her hands at the monster, but her mind was too tired now, a strong headache began to take over her mind as her nose started to bleed once more.
It felt as if thousands of needles were piercing her brain, making her almost pass out from the agony alone.
“Aaagghh!”
“GRROOOAAAHH!”
The beast was about to dissolve her on its acidic surface, but a loud bang suddenly reached it!
BANG!
An enormous hole appeared in the monster’s body, as the creature quickly stopped moving and looked at the perpetrator, Chris gritted his teeth as he looked at the monster.
“Don’t you see that the lady is resting? Leave her alone, creep.” He said.
“GRUUUUUAAAAAAAH!”
The acidic monster was enraged, ignoring Lucia as it jumped towards Chris! Its body suddenly divided into many acidic spheres, as it began to fire them like bullets against him!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Chris evaded the bullets while he fired bullets of his own. He felt like his senses had never been this sharp before, he had never been this agile, this fast, and this incredibly nimble before!
This speed, this everything… it was just way too amazing! He felt like he was surpassing a common human’s capabilities with each passing second, and he was only improving and improving upon his own movements and his own evasion patterns.
CLASH!
The beast reached him once more as it began to chase him away, but the bullets that he fired at it seemed to not work, this monster was more like a living acid slime of bacteria that could dissolve everything than an actual being covered on it.
He had to find another way to stop it!
Such as flames!
He quickly took out a grenade from his pocket, as he lured the monster downstairs as his soldiers evaded it, Chris had explicitly told them to not interfere in the fight!
“Come on, come closer!”
Chris continued to run into the previous floor’s corridors, as the beast chased him down!
“GRUUUOOHHHHH!”
And then, it suddenly jumped towards him again!
“Now…!” thought Chris, as he ducked down and the beast ended jumping to the stairs down, just in time for him to fire a grenade at it and run for it!
“GRAOH?!”
The beast suddenly took the grenade with its tentacles, and then…!
BOOOOOOMMM!!!
