Chapter 107: Cinderella?

‘I’ll take the opportunity to take its eye. The first hit wasn’t enough to get rid of it. I’ll use Partial Invisibility to confuse it and hide the blade. This way, it’ll try to attack and-‘

The Paru’s thoughts were interrupted, and so did his approach.

A tingling feeling.

Something in the air.

The Paru barely had enough time to raise his arms in front of him, as a lightning bolt descended from far above.

‘Shit…!’

He quickly jumped back, as the Giganto Zilla opened its mouth wide, letting out a loud roar that the Paru could feel reverbate inside of his body.

Its limbs, back, nape, head, and tail shone and glowed, fueled by the immense energy that had struck its body.

‘Keep its tail in mind. Movement is rather slow so-‘

The Giganto Zilla suddenly started moving forward at a speed that surprised the Paru, especially compared to the speeds that the Giganto Zilla was showing earlier.

The Visero’s acceleration and top speed had increased massively!

‘The energy is stored in its crystals, but its body is still affected by the lightning!!’ The Paru clicked his tongue as he barely managed to dodge and escape from the Gigantio Zilla’s wide-open mouth. ‘The electricity is still coursing through its nerves and muscles… Like some kind of adrenaline-inducing rush!! Its nerves react much faster than how they usually do!’

The next second, a bullet-like object grazed the Paru’s shoulder.

‘Tsk!’ From the corner of his eye, he could see them waiting. ‘That other Species? Now?!’

Lying in wait, a safe distance away, was a pack of Cryat. The only Species of Visero presented by Raya that the Paru hadn’t met yet.

The Giganto Zilla rapidly moved closer, and the sound of another bullet-like crystal being fired resonated.

‘They’re assisting it… Fuck!’

The Paru jumped away, barely dodging both attacks.

‘They’re on opposite sides now. I need to keep them both in my field of vision. Should I use Invisibility to deal with those Cryats? No. The moment that I disappear…’

The Giganto Zilla let out another mighty roar.

‘It’ll charge towards the spaceship! I need to deal with both of them somehow-‘

The shine exuded by the Giganto Zilla’s crystals was concentrated on its tail, and the Paru knew it was coming.

The same concentrated laser-like beam that had been fired off earlier.

‘That thing can’t be dodged once it’s fired. I need to…’

Moving as fast as he could, the Paru managed to position himself behind a tall crystalline structure.

‘It’ll pierce through it, but that’ll give me time!’

From the tip of its tail, the Giganto Zilla roared as the laser-like stream was shot and directed towards the structure behind which the Paru was hiding!

Vertically, horizontally, diagonally… The laser-like attack cut the structure from every direction and in every way possible!

Victory was clear, and the Giganto Zilla roared with its chin pointed upwards, as if to celebrate it. To let the world know that it had won again.

The celebration was cut short, as something landed inside the Giganto Zilla’s wide-open mouth!

BOOM!

The next second, the Paru’s arms turned into blades as they were pointed upwards, and descended against the crystals covering the base of the Giganto Zilla’s tail numerous times.

The Giganto Zilla huffed and puffed, letting out angered growls as its mouth burned.

‘Even that didn’t do much??’ The Paru continued striking the crystals that covered the Giganto Zilla’s body.

The moment he had started running towards the crystalline structure to hide behind, the Paru had started using his “Exploding Threads” Skill to form a ball.

Using Skills that came from Skill Merge used up a lot of Endurance Points, but that wasn’t on the Paru’s mind right now.

The Giganto Zilla saw the Paru hide behind that structure, but there was no reason for him to do so.

The moment he disappeared from the Giganto Zilla’s field of vision, the Paru had activated his Invisibility Skill to move away.

Unlike what the Giganto Zilla thought, the Paru hadn’t been hiding at all.

Or rather, he had been hiding in a different manner!

‘It’s still a matter of damage. It just used up the energy it got from being struck by lightning, but the damage I’m doing is still far from enough!’

The Paru slammed his blade arms on the base of the Giganto Zilla’s tail, and the crystals surrounding it broke. At the same time, the Giganto Zilla had moved its tail, slamming it on the Paru’s stomach and launching it away!

‘Ugh!’

He contracted his abdominal muscles, but the hit was still too heavy.

The Paru was launched a dozen steps away, causing his back to slam against another crystalline structure.

As the Giganto Zilla started approaching rapidly, the Paru tried to move away, before realizing.

His muscles were twitching. His whole body felt incredibly heavy.

The electricity stored inside the crystals had been taken away, but not the electricity coursing through the Giganto Zilla’s body!

‘I can’t… Move fast enough!!’

As the Giganto Zilla’s wide open mouth approached, aiming to swallow him whole, the Paru activated his Blade of Bones Skill!

‘The inside of its mouth… I’ll keep its jaws apart by-‘

Before the Paru’s blades and the Giganto Zilla’s jaws could meet,

Bang- Bang- Bang-

Three shots were fired, two of them landing on the Giganto Zilla’s already damaged eye!

The Paru managed to dodge in time as the Giganto Zilla, surprised by the attack, lost its balance and slid on the ground, slamming against the crystalline structure.

“I dealt with those Cryats.” Liz said as she tossed something to the Paru.

He grabbed it just in time, and felt the twitching of his muscles stop.

His lips curled up slightly.

It was one of the red crystals that could store energy.

“Keep that on you…” She reloaded her rifle. “Alright?”

The Paru chuckled as he wiped his mouth.

“Came back to save me from the dragon?” He asked and turned towards the Giganto Zilla.

“That’s what Soldiers do.”

“What am I,” The Paru cracked his knuckles as he stretched his arms forward, his eyes brimming. “Cinderella?”

‘I…’ Liz took aim. ‘Don’t know what that is.’
