Final Evolution

The multiple cannons from the tanks really make a lot of smoke, but Alex startled to see the golden rays piercing from the smoke of the ruined building. 

Nathanael, as a veteran delta force fighter, wouldn't want the opportunity wasted. He couldn't let this monster recover or run away. He believed that the monster must be either dead or at least in a critical condition. He immediately ran towards Arief and retrieved his artifact axe. He then quickly moved toward the monster and wielded the axe, splitting the smoke in half. But when Nathanael was about to swing the axe again, two red eyes appeared from the smoke staring blankly at him. 

"!!!"

"Pwuah!"

Something quickly grabbed Nathanael's face. Even though Natahael was the fastest among them, he was unable to see nor avoid it at all. A sturdy golden-skinned hand grabbed his neck and locked him in place.

"Huufff huffff"

Nathanael gasped for breath as he used his axe to strike the burly hand.
