Butcher Demon-Chapter 253
Chapter 253
◇◆◇ Gevaudan’s point of view
–What should I do?…….
Although I’m on Abigail and Yakumo’s side, I think I look like an alien lackey to whoever is now tagging along with Yakumo right now. I am a butcher. I don’t know what he’s going to do if I get too close to him.
He looks just like Vani, so I guess he’s Rudra. What a ballsy guy, charging into the middle of the enemy lines by himself. He has a promising future.
Hmmm………
–Anyway…
All I have to do is to kill Papamayan. That should do it.
If I approach Yakumo now, Rudra will likely get the wrong idea and might mess things up, so I’ll just leave them alone. Leave them to Abigail and I’ll draw the Highland Zephyr away.
Although I am concerned about Arshella showing up with Abigail while arguing about something…….but that’s for later. Anf if they were really serious, Abigail would already be dead.
–Come on, Papameyan. Let me crush you.
Just when I was about to put my hand in my bag.
I heard a zzzn…… zzzn…… sound coming from far away.
I stopped my hand and clicked my tongue internally.
–That bastard is really annoying…….
He chased me all the way here!
I looked across the street in annoyance and saw the crab monster appear from behind a building.
The crab monster ignored the clinging glioma that attached onto it, dragging them forward together. How much horsepower does that thing have?
“▽☆※#!”
The alien soldiers who were standing across the street started to fight back, but there was nothing they could do in front of that giant firepower.
Moreover, the crab monster was now accompanied by multiple Ripley’s as supports, so it was difficult for them to get close to it easily.
The immune cells I created are attacking the Crab Monster from in all directions, but they can’t stop it because it is a lump of steel with no people inside it. Their prime target is living creatures.
The Crab monster easily kicked away the defensive line built by the aliens.
*Wien*…… and the crab looks up.
A hole open.
From behind it, a ferocious rifling glared at me.
My body moved immediately.
I run in front of Yakumo and activate . With Rudra in tow, I took them both in my arms and shielded them.
Then, There was a stomach-churning sound, followed almost simultaneously by the impact of bullets.
The flying debris and rubble slammed into my back violently.
I avoided a direct hit.
It was the vampire who was blown away by the enormous kinetic energy. I thought to myself, “Got him!”
But alas, the vampire quickly reappeared from the fog at another spot. What a bummer. Still, the tank gun seemed to have done the trick a little bit, as the guy clutched his shoulder, winced in pain, then fled and hid behind a wall.
“–#★●▼§〒※,Papameyan!”
“〆●,☆▽●〆★▲〆!!”
The vampire dude said something to him, and Papameyan give his instructions.
The Highland Zephyr members scattered into the shadows, leaving Papameyan alone in the middle of the road. The leader of the group as a decoy? What a surprise, and right after he held up his circle shield, a barrage of fire followed.
It was an air burst as I expected, Countless flying pellets rained down from the shells that exploded in mid-air.
With nowhere to run, I endured the blast with Yakumo and Rudra in my arms. Thank goodness they are both short.
-That crab monster is so tall that it only can shoot down from above.
That allows it to impose the full force of its air bursts on the target.
Its multiple legs also help it maintain its position. It looks ridiculous, but it is a well-thought-out design because it’s hard to move around in the midst of the relentless debris and explosions. My back has been super sore for a while now.
I didn’t realize that a tank gun can turn into so much more just by attacking from above. Despot indeed.
Concerned, I looked around with just my eyes.
Abigail and Natsuki seemed to be protected by Tiriel. They hid behind a building with the four girls, curled up in a transparent barrier, eyes and ears closed.
“□〓○▼! 〓▲○●〒〓◎△●◇◇〆■!!”
Papameyan was grumbling something to the crab monster from behind the shield. He was also glancing at me sideways. I think he is probably worried about Yakumo.
–I agree with him. This is not good.
Ripleys are here too. With the barrel overheating, the Crab Monster will probably stop firing soon, but then Ripley’s machine gun will cover it.
A hail of gunfire. Whether to run or to counterattack, I needed an opening to move safely. At the moment, I can’t move with Yakumo.
As I pondered this, the pain that was throbbing against my back suddenly eased.
I glanced behind me and saw a bandaged human and a feather-decorated female knight standing there, standing to shield me as I defended Yakumo.
What is going on? I have no idea who was my enemy or my friend anymore.
『Jibodan, Are you ok!?』
Oh, it’s Ferris’s telepathy. I didn’t know you can do that.
–No ne…….
『Tiriel, I need to talk to Papameyan for a minute. Can you do the thing?』
『Eeeee!? now!? I-I really can’t right now!! Sorry!!』
She seemed anxious because she was protecting everyone from the gunfire.
— thud, thud.
I looked and saw an arrow stuck in the ground at my feet. The other one is at Papameyan’s side.
『Gevaudan, use that!』
『Thank you, Lydia!』
I grab what looks like a magic stone.
『Papameyan』
『–Oh, Gevaudan!! are you doing alright!?』
『Can you help me with something?』
『Help with what!?』
『I’m going to destroy it, and I need your help.』
『I have no problem with it! But we can’t risk killing the boy! And what the hell is that golem!』
『A new weapon of mankind. It’s called Despot, or Crab Monster』
『What a bad naming taste!! –Yeah, alright! -Let’s take a temporary truce!! We’re on the same boat now, and the boat is that Yakumo boy!!』
At that moment, the barrage stops. It was cooling time for the crab monster.
Instantly, I let go of the Yakumo and kicks the ground.
As if knowing it by heart, Papameyan runs parallel to me on the other side of the road. Despot is about 200 meters ahead. With my full speed, I can close the gap in 10 seconds.
Ripley’s machine guns and rockets intercepted us as we rushed forward. Since we were running together, the aim was divided into two.
The rockets approached us. I prepared myself for a direct hit
However, to my surprise, the bandages extended from behind and intercepted all of them just in time.
In addition, the female knight with feathers throws a spear that leaves a right trail in the air, and it hits one Ripley, sending its body crumpling to the ground and blowing it apart.
–The way is open.
Through the gap in the line, the butcher’s huge body entered.
As if in anticipation, the crab monster’s hammer punch fell down from above.
It was as heavy as a huge rock falling from the top of a cliff.
I raised both hands to take it.
The butcher’s knee gives way as I feel a tremendous impact through my spine.
I nearly got crushed.
———Don’t underestimate me!!
I roared out a beastly cry from the bottom of my stomach as I pumped my entire body with so much force that my veins almost burst.f𝘳𝚎𝐞we𝐛𝑛𝐨𝘃e𝘭.co𝘮
Instead of letting out my power, I gathered my strength and summoned it.
