Chapter 258: Teleporting monster (3)

3rd person view

In the real world...

Professor Sophia White warped into Marella's home surprising her her.

"Who are you?!" Marella demanded

"Calm down, I'm only here on the matter of your future son in law who should also be my descendant in his past life" Professor Sophia chuckled

"Not a lot of people know that, but...how do I know that you're not with the enemy?"

"That's interesting, isn't it? That's a choice that you're going to have to make, the inevitable crossroad of choices"

"Yep, you're definitely her. Nova told me about your characteristics"

"Now where were we? Right, I'm about to discuss about your role in all this, I'm also going to teach you a few things since you and your daughter have a big role to play"

A warp gate then opened in the house, with future Perseus coming out of it.

"Oh, grandma Hecate, nice to see you" he greeted

"Just for the record, I'm your great-great-" Hecate tried to correct

"Yeah, Grandma makes you sound younger, now where's younger me? Did he pass the test yet?"

"As carefree as ever" Marella sighs

Back to the flashback...

Somehow, we're winning despite being outnumbered, but we're winning only because they are being slightly overwhelmed by the sudden attacks, it won't be long till they'll gain back their morale.

No matter how high a rank you are, a bullet through your brain will kill any human, ranks in the end are just numbers and that rank is only based on the numbers of gorgers you killed, not how strong you really are.

Kenny and Kelly took on the special as they left me with Karen, in the distance, we saw 2 helicopters coming to our location. You would think that they were friendly, but...nope. They started to shoot our side.

Kenny is now letting Kelly handle the special for now as he'll try to go for the copters. In the moment of relief that Karen saw, the copters, I rushed in. She saw that and raise her arm up, I then tricked her by activating the thrusters on my feet.

She thought I was going side ways to avoid the attack like before, so she fell for it. But when she realized I wasn't, I jumped in knee her in the face.

Kenny shot the copters down and came to help Kelly.

"Help me!" Karen shouted as she got up

The special turned to her, grabbed her and teleport away for distance.

"With them both together, it's like spatial magic in a manga I read somewhere"

"We can't take the 3 of them on, we'll have to get rid of one first" the special suggested

"Which one? That Grace guy is the most problematic" Karen asked

"The one with glasses" the special answered "His 'ability' that can somehow make me drunk, it's limiting my teleportin-"

We didn't have time to listen as we opened fire at them, I can see the faint glow in the special's eyes and he looked behind me, so I switch to single burst mode as I saw it and Karen teleport behind us to dodge the onslaught of bullets.

I pulled the trigger and hit the special in the stomach making a hole

"Encore!" Kelly shouted as another blast appeared and hit it in the chest as it fell to the ground. It then teleported one more time and it appeared above Kenny's head along with Karen who swiped her arm and erased Kenny from existence.

"NOOO!!"

Nothing remained of his body, we couldn't even cry in the moment as it happened so quick. We were just...speechless due to shock.

Me and Kelly reload, but with it teleport along Karen for distance. Despite a hole in its guts and chest, it's still alive as we saw it feast on a soldier's corpse and regenerate while occasionally puking.

"Kelly aim for its head, even specials die with a hole in its brain"

I ran out of magazines for my rifle so I had no choice but to engage in close combat while Kelly provide me with cover. After healing to a certain extend, the special teleport right behind me and grabbed my shoulder.

In one quick motion, I grabbed it and sling it over my shoulder, but before it get slammed on the ground, it teleport above me and I quickly threw one of my small bombs which it teleport away to escape the attack. The explosion above me pushed me to the ground a bit, but as I got up, I saw Kelly also frustrated as she ran out of ammunition and had to come join me in close combat.

Karen charge in and engaged Kelly. She has been using less and less of her ability since Kenny shot one of her hand and with that injury, she is losing badly as Kelly who was furious grabbed the back of her head and smash it against the ground.

The special teleport to me, grabbed me and teleport me high up in the air along with it and threw me to the ground, but I can slow my fall with the thrusters on my feet. It saw that and teleport to me and used its tentacles to smash me to the ground.

3rd person view

"You're all really pissing me off, good, I'll kill you all" Grace laugh maniacally "Revenge is best served with blood after all!"

< His presence is very overwhelming > the special thought < Even before the fight, it was larger than mine, but now...so this...this is fear>

Grace rush to Karen who is occupied with Kelly. The special teleport to Grace and stop him in his track, but Grace anticipated this as he launch a punch with his full power and blew a hole in its gut.

< What the...> it thought as Grace aimed his fist at his face and he barely escaped by teleporting away and vomit on the ground < 'Teleport' is coming to its limit, I feel nauseous faster now, but if I run now, it'll hurt my pride>

I teleport to Grace again and fought him, but it was for the first time in its life, being physically overpowered by a human. Each of Grace's punch that his fist intercepted, reverberated and break its bone little by little.
