"Hello?"
"Hello, uncle. Thank goodness it connected."
Anna's voice resonated on the phone, Elias lets out a deep breath and controls his breath. He taps the loudspeaker button on the smartphone and sat on the animal.
"Please help us uncle!" she said in a loud voice.
Elias puts his phone away and opens his bag.
"Where are you right now?"
"I-I don't know. There are so many grasses in here. A griffin is searching for us."
"Griffin?"
He pulls out a container and opens it, the container contains a pack of aluminum foil. He unwraps it, there are biscuits inside.
"The Mythological Creatures from many years ago, it currently sniffing our smell."
"Type-01? Look above your head, what can you see?"
"N? Why do you want to know that uncle?" she asked, "there are two suns, the red sun on the right and the black sun on our left"
He takes a biscuit and puts it in his mouth. The biscuit is dry and tasteless but he continues to gobble it until finished.
"I understand, spread dirt on your body to hide the smell. In zero five zero zero, I will be there."
"What? Do you know where we at?"
Another voice out from the phone, a husk voice with an emergency tone.
"Mhm, I got the gist"
He closes the call and takes out another biscuit to eat. He continues until the biscuits inside the aluminum foil are only left in two pieces. He puts it in the container and jumps in the direction in front of him.
As he jumps into the sky, he sees another UMA Type-01 not far away from him. The animal sniffed on the ground while facing his back. Elias stops his movement and manifested his sniper rifle gun again.
He raises the sniper rifle and pointed it at the animal, his eyes focus on the scope. He moves the gun and aimed at below the animal's tail. He pulls the trigger.
Don
It hit right at the place he was targeting but, it only made a dent not penetrated the place. He reloads the gun and looks at the scope again. At this time, the animal has noticed they're being hunted.
It spreads its wings and tries to fly away from the place. But, unfortunately, the enemy they choose this time is wrong. Because between them is a whole different category.
In split second, another bullet has been shot by Elias, it pierce the animal before it could fly away. The animal fell to the ground and he waits for a few minutes.
He scans the surrounding area, and after nothing changes, he walks to the corpse and sits on top of its head. He uses his dagger to rip the head's skin and pull out the core.
"This gun is excessive."
He turns his eyes to the gun and puts it on his back, Elias pulls his shirt and swipes his sweats on his face with it. He continues moving forward.
While he walking forward, he always observes the surrounding area. He doesn't see Anna's existence yet.
At that time, a loud voice could be heard in front of him, and the distance was not too far away. With all of his might, he dashes toward the source of the voice.
As he sees the source of the voice, he keeps the distance between them. He watches the big bird spreading its wings while holding a big worm in its claw. The bird cuts the worm with its mouth while the latter couldn't move.
Not far from the place, he sees two people hugging each other side by side, he confirmed that they are Anna and the weird girl from before.
He draws his sniper rifle and points it at the big bird. Elias sees the dark fur on its body and the size of the bird is twice as the previous bird he shot in the dungeon.
The animal has a long and sharp horn on top of its head. The fur on the head is different from the body, which is bone white. The head resembles an eagle but, with a sharp eye.
On its back, it grows a tail of a scorpion. Grown from the metasomal until the telson. The tail moves and stings the worm beneath. The latter shrieks and tries to get off the hold but it couldn't.
Is that what Anna said? He thought. The strong grips and strength inside the animal are indeed outside the average. I need to rack out another plan.
After a few seconds, the worm surrenders and stops moving. The animal opens its beak and feast on the worm's corpse. The worm turns to dark color, its mouth foaming.
Elias takes a deep breath and pulls the shooting trigger.
Don
It hit with precise penetrating the right wing. The animal screams and looks around the area Its head fuming, it couldn't see the creature that hurt him.
The animal flaps his wings, trying to fly to the sky. But, at this time, Elias shoots at the animal's right wing again near the previous part.
It flies unbalanced and fell to the ground, Elias reloads his sniper rifle gun and aims at the animal once again. The animal's eyes turn at him, it notices his position.
The animal opens its beak and shrieks at Elias, the latter has pulled the shooting trigger before the fear comes through him. The bullet Elias shot pierced the animal's mouth. Bloods came out of its mouth.
It flaps its wings jumps high to the sky and flies toward Elias in an unbalanced state. The animal tries to control the unbalanced flying and succeeded.
Elias opens the sniper rifle magazine, he creates more bullets with his hand and put them inside the magazine. He closes the magazine and reloads it. He looks at the scope that the animal has come near him.
In only a few seconds it will attack him but for Elias, a few seconds is enough. He shoots the animal's left wings, the first shot it dodges the bullet and grazed it. In the second shot, the bullet makes a hole.
The flying animal becomes unbalanced and dives to the ground, it creates a trail on the ground decelerating before stopping right in front of Elias. Elias stands and puts his leg on top of the animal's beak, pushing it down.
He lowers his body with a slight bow and points the sniper rifle's muzzle at the animal's eye at point-blank range. He shoots the gun and pierced the animal's right eye. Blood gushing out of its eye. It tries to scream but couldn't.
It revolts and moves its body trying to make Elias release him but alas everything it tries is useless. Elias was unmoving at all.
Elias points his gun at the top of the animal's head and shoots it. The animal's body flinched and blood squirted out. He moves his legs out of the animal's beak and takes out his dagger. He turns the animal's body upside down and rips the skin on its stomach.
He takes the core out of its body and peels the wings' fur. He tries to cut the head but failed because the dagger isn't strong enough.
Two people walk over to him at a slow pace. Without looking at the people, Elias already knows the two because they have witnessed the show.
He pulls out the aluminum foil and throws it at the two people. The latter got surprised and try to catch it after the aluminum jumps around their body.
"What is this Uncle?"
"Biscuits"
