Chapter-17: Inspecting the Roars and Encountering a Gastrea Tide
——————————————————\\\\\\\\\\\\\\
3rd POV | District 5 Gastrea Zone |
Morning came, The sun was shining brightly and the morning breeze blows over the ruined town, creating a strange but beautiful apocalyptic atmosphere, moss and vines were entangling and taking over buildings and houses in this destroyed town. Because moss and vines were kinda growing in the house, they cleaned it up and barricaded it and made the house their temporary base outside of the Safe Zones
The Members and their loli sidekicks when out on their hunt to exterminate 450 Gastreas but they could also make bonus kills to increase their rewards
So far they have hunted and killed 256 Gastreas, so they still need to kill a few hundred more
They were just on their casual hunt, slowly training and honing their skill to become more sharp and refined
The skills and tactics of the team has become more fluid and smooth, their attacks being harmonized and swift...
"Hoooott" Honoka made a sound as she fell
Bang-!
Bang-!
Kaching-!
Bang!
Heavy gunshots with the sound of shell casings that fell into the cracked cement road was heard as the Gastrea kept coming at them
The heavy gunshots came from Akari who wielded a massive Barrett 50 caliber sniper rifle with Black Bullets or bullets made from Varanium with some modifications that allows it to become semi-automatic and increased the coolants for the gun to reduce overheating
Akari had great eyesight due to her being an Owl Type Initiator that was trained to specialize in guns and picking off targets in long range. The Owl Type Initiators were so accurate that they could take a minigun and snipe with it...
Shing-!
Shing-!
Shing-!
Cuts all over the Gastrea that was targeted by Ichika, appeared as she slashed with precision
Mantis Type Initiators have inherited the ability of being great with swords of anything that is sharp but has the length and shape of anything that can be held in one hand. Because the Initiators who inherited this ability doesn't know what their ability is until they have touched a knife, they were considered the most mediocre Cursed Children that has no special ability but not completely useless because of their super strength and regeneration
Bwaaaaamm-!
Himiko was also destroying Gastrea left and right with her explosive kicks, kicking Gastreas so hard that their limbs fly out
"Great job" Toka gave a thumbs up to Akari as she continued killing her way through the Gastrea
"Huuu!" Ren took a deep breath as he lowered his center of balance and put his sword in his sheath in an Iai stance
'Zekken-Mukyu Sandan (Absolute Sword- Endless Three-Stage)' Ren chanted the name of the technique in his mind
Whoosh-!
Shingshingshingshing--!
!
Tak-!
Ren disappeared within two steps in a flash as hundreds of yellow slashes like lightning appeared on a huge flock of Gastrea, Some Gastrea were sliced to bits but a big portion of them survived because of the reacting a little earlier and dodging to the side, with another slice going to the direction of the place where he once stood cutting apart any Gastrea on his way, after he arrived back where he was, he raised his sword parallel to the right side of his head as the surroundings around him became white as the only thing he could see were his enemies
He raised his left hand in front of his face as he thrust his sword forward!-
Pshiiiing-!
Bwooooooooooooom-!!
-Ren shot out a black and yellow beam that seemed to destroy the white space around him as well as shake and shatter space!
Buildings around his surrounding began to fall apart and crumble as it fell down, collapsing like a house of cards.
It created a big explosion that shook the whole town as the shock wave traveled miles around them.
Ren swiftly and smoothly cut the various parts of the bodies of the Gastrea that had flew off and picked some up as he put them inside his pocket space as he shuttled away in a portal that he made that could only travel a short distance for now
As Ren arrived at the site of the meeting place, he saw the other members as well as the lolis looking at him silently...
"What's wrong guys? Why are you all quiet?" Ren asked them
"".....""
"Strong, you're too strong onii-chan!" Honoka was the first to speak with a helpless expression on her face
"Is that bad?"
"Based on what you did....no, not at all, but we wanted to atleast hunt more" Kanesada replied to Ren
"Oh...my bad, next time, I'll let you all hunt more okay?" Ren said with his eyes turning into crescents with a smile
"You must leave some to us too degozaru" Ichika nodded her head in agreement
"Okay, as you say so"
The group started walking back to their base until...
Roooooooaaaaarrr-!
Roooooooaaaaaarr-!
Roars erupted as the same time in the town as the group became alerted and cautious
"What was that?" Toka asked Ren in a low voice
"I don't know, I'll check it out, meanwhile all of you head back to the base" Ren ordered them as he brought out his 6 wings and flapped them
"Wait" Sajuna suddenly shouted
Ren was about to fly but Sajuna's sudden voice stopped him as he looked back
"Take me with you, I can fly too!" Sajuna said as he held her chest, seemingly very concerned and anxious
"Sajuna-" Toka was about to scold her and even readied herself to take force to stop her but Ren held up his hand signalling her to stop and that he'll do it himself
"Sajuna, I know you can fly too and has become stronger than before...but I can't take you with me" Ren floated slightly above Sajuna and brushed his hand against her head
"B-but what about you?! What if it's dangerous?" Sajuna asked worriedly
"I know this could probably be dangerous but I have to do it, and besides, I can just teleport out of there you know?" Ren smiled comfortingly as he held his hand against her cheek
Sajuna's head began to fill with Ren as her blush became brighter
"P-please come back safe okay? I'll beat you up if you get injured" Sajuna said with a bashful tone as she turned her head to the side
"Hahahaha! Then, I'll promise you" Ren laughed softly as he felt warm and cozy around her
"Hmph! You better!" Sajuna's cheeks puffed up like a cute squirrel as she crossed her arms
"I'll be going" Ren said to all of them as he flapped his wings hard and a gush of wind blew on the members and their Initiators
———★★★———
High in the air, Ren flies above the clouds in his earnest as he glides down the cloud layer and inspects the place where the roars were coming from
As soon as Ren glided down from above the cloud layer, he could see a black sea that was pulsing from the looks of it..
'No!....'
"This is not a sea!" Ren unconciously shouted in horror as he realized what it was...-
-It was a tide of Gastrea ranging from Level ones to Level threes...And at the very middle on what seems like the Gastrea was protecting, the thing looked like a dragon mixed with a tortoise with a rhinoceros and a spider
Graaaaaaah-!
Whoosh-!
Whooosh-!
Some of the few flying Gastreas spotted him as he unsheathed his sword and sliced them all to pieces
'I gotta go back!' Ren thought as he opened up a portal to their temporary base
———★★★———
A portal appeared in the living room as it shocked the other members
Ren stepped through the portal and in a hurried manner, he said, " Let's go! There is a Gastrea Tide heading our way and they look like they were commanded by a Level four!"
"What?" Toka was shocked but it didn't show in her face
"We must go, let's pack up our things" Kanesada calmly said as he went to their rooms.
"Yeah, we must go" Sajuna also hurried inside her room
The group packed all of their bags and set off to go back to the Safe Zone...
