BXBX NOVEL Chapter 137: Dinosaur Attack II - Another one
In the midst of the chaos, Rona emerged from the crowd, her face etched with worry. "Gundo, have you seen Garnt? Is he okay?"
Gundo paused, wiping sweat from her brow after all the hard work she had to do treating the wounded. "I haven\'t seen him. Is he not with the others?"
Rona\'s gaze remained fixed on Gundo, a silent plea for information. Gundo\'s heart sank as she shook her head. "I\'m sorry, Rona. I haven\'t seen him. I\'ve been focused on treating the wounded. I-"
Gundo was torn between choosing her duty to treat villagers over Garnt, just like Ayra and she knew Garnt wanted her to treat the villagers because if she left right now things would only turn bad. But her heart and body were telling her to act selfish and see how Garnt is doing.
Before Rona could respond, a thunderous sound echoed through the air, freezing both women in their tracks. Their eyes widened, and a silent understanding passed between them. Something was terribly wrong in the front lines of the village.
Without a word, Rona and Gundo exchanged a glance, their expressions mirroring the fear that gripped their hearts. Without hesitation, Rona turned and sprinted towards the source of the disturbance, with Gundo close behind forgetting about her duty.
\'Garnt! Garnt! My Garnt!\'
She mutters the same thing inside her mind showing how scared and anxious she is.
As they rounded a corner, the once sturdy village wall came into view, now shattered and broken. Panic set in as Rona scanned the chaos, desperately searching for any sign of Garnt. "Garnt! Where are you?"
The distant roars of dinosaurs mingled with the cries of villagers as they struggled to defend their homes. Rona\'s hands trembled as she reached for her weapon, her mind racing with the possibilities of what could have transpired.
Gundo, panting heavily, caught up with Rona. "We need to find him. He might be out there, leading the defence. We can\'t lose hope."
With determination in their eyes, the two women plunged into the heart of the chaos, ready to face whatever awaited them and praying that Garnt was still out there, fighting alongside his people but what they saw was beyond depressing.
They saw Unami and Kiriah holding Garnt like he was wounded and Ayra leading the warriors to fight with the dinosaur that had already invaded the village.
"Nooo! Noo! This can\'t be happening. We can\'t lose now." Gundo muttered and ran to help Garnt.
Rona also did the same thing, but she was much faster than Gundo. Upon seeing Unami and Kiriah, she quickly called out to them.
"Is he okay? Are you two injured?" Her voice broke through the battlefield, no matter how loud it was.
"I\'m fine! Ugh~ Let\'s go and help Ayra," Garnt answered her question, holding his body in pain. However, both Unami and Rona refused to let him go. Rona knew it was time to go against Garnt for his own safety.
"Unami, make sure Garnt won\'t enter the battlefield again, I will help Ayra, also Gundo make sure you do your job," Rona said, as she got ready to leave and all of them nodded their heads without trying to argue with her knowing she was the most talented warrior after Garnt.
They had to believe that she was able to lead the battle along with Ayra even without Garnt.
"No...wait! Ugh," Garnt wanted to talk, but Gundo closed his mouth before he could even talk.
"Listen, Garnt, we won\'t let you put your life in danger. You\'re hurt, and we can\'t afford to lose you. Rona\'s got this, and you need to trust her."
Garnt tried to protest, but Gundo silenced him with a stern look. "Rona knows what she\'s doing. We\'ll handle things here; you focus on recovering."
Rona gave Gundo a reassuring nod, acknowledging the unspoken understanding between them. She patted Garnt on the shoulder, offering him a small, confident smile before turning away to join Ayra on the battlefield.
As Rona approached Ayra, she could see the intense struggle they faced. Ayra, though holding her ground, looked visibly fatigued. Rona quickly asked, "What\'s the situation?"
Ayra grimaced, pointing towards the massive dinosaur wreaking havoc. "We\'re running out of options. The ballistae are gone, and we can\'t take this thing down conventionally."
Rona surveyed the chaotic scene, her mind racing for a solution. Then, a determined glint flashed in her eyes. "I\'m going to climb that beast. Ayra, focus on its legs. We need to bring it down."
Ayra looked at Rona with a mix of concern and trust. "Are you sure about this? It\'s too risky."
Rona nodded, her confidence unwavering. "I can handle it. Just cover me, and we\'ll take this monster down together."
With a determined nod from Ayra, Rona sprinted towards the colossal creature. As she approached, the dinosaur thrashed about, causing chaos among the warriors. Rona skillfully dodged the stomping feet, her agile movements drawing the creature\'s attention.
Meanwhile, Ayra rallied the warriors to focus their attacks on the dinosaur\'s legs. As Rona reached the towering beast, she found handholds and footholds, scaling it with incredible agility. The villagers watched in awe as Rona ascended, a lone figure against the colossal threat.
Ayra shouted encouragement to the warriors, directing their efforts to weaken the creature. Rona reached a vantage point on the dinosaur\'s back, surveying the battlefield below. With a determined gleam in her eye, she readied herself to strike but the beast didn\'t let her do that without struggling.
It kept shaking its body constantly, hoping that Rona would fall and break her back, until its eyes laid on something that was approaching in their direction. For a moment, the dinosaur calmed down, as if it was seeing something that was hard for it to believe.
Rona, who was interested in what was happening, followed its visionary line to see what was going on and noticed Maro and Garo approaching the battlefield, hoping to help their humans.
"Maro and Garo! What are they doing here? I told Unami to hold them without letting them do anything unwanted." She was worried that something might happen to them, but looking at the dinosaur\'s reaction, Rona knew something extraordinary was about to happen.
\'Don\'t tell me...this is Garo\'s mother? If that\'s so, aren\'t we the bad guys here trying to steal a child from its mother?\'
She was doubtful about the situation, but she obviously knew there was no reason with wild animals like this. It was either dinosaurs die and they survive or they die and dinosaurs survive.
"Maro! Go away, you can\'t attack this beast with your attacks." Rona shouted and tried to land an attack on the dinosaur, but suddenly it roared back to life and started to run in Garo\'s direction, but neither Rona nor Garo was able to see what its intentions were.
Ayra was thrown away by the pressure of its step and she knew their only hope was Rona, who had the easiest way to reach its vulnerable spot.
Garo, who was being locked down by this giant creature, started to shout in fear, while Maro covered him like the proper mother she is. She was even ready to fight with this creature, who was twenty times her size, growling menacingly. But things didn\'t end there.
Suddenly, another rumbling noise started to come from the other direction of the forest, and out of nowhere, another giant dinosaur appeared, as if she was waiting for this moment.
Its scales shimmering in the dappled sunlight, a newfound tension filled the air. This newcomer, a majestic creature with vibrant patterns on its skin, moved with purpose toward the menacing giant that had Garo as its target. The ground shook with each step as the two colossal beings locked eyes, their territorial instincts flaring.
Maro, shielding Garo, watched the unfolding spectacle with a mix of awe and confusion. The giant creatures faced off, growls echoing through the forest, creating a symphony of prehistoric power. The atmosphere crackled with an intensity that seemed to freeze time itself.
The new dinosaur, with a graceful yet forceful movement, lunged at the imposing creature threatening Garo. A seismic clash ensued as the two titans collided, their colossal bodies creating shockwaves that rustled the leaves and sent tremors through the ground. It was a battle of giants, a struggle for dominance that unfolded with primal fury.
"Damn it! What is even going on anymore?" Ayra asked as she couldn\'t even comprehend what was going on anymore.
Rona quickly jumped off the first dinosaur\'s back into a nearby tree before the collision and she was able to get away with minor injuries, but unfortunately, some of the people that was beneath them got crushed by the sudden movements of the two gigantic creatures, even though Ayra tried her best to attack and protect her people.
The forest echoed with roars and the sounds of their epic confrontation. Maro seized this opportunity, grabbing Garo and swiftly retreating to a safer distance and she had an enraged look on her face showing it wasn\'t Maro who came here of her own will, but rather Garo who thought he could do something to help his favourite human.
Looking at Maro and her growls, Garo knew he was going to get rather harsh punishment this time, but that didn\'t reduce its desire to be useful to Garnt.
