Chapter 109: Shattered Crystals!

‘That’s something a dumbass brought. A long dead dumbass. I took it since it was already in there and because of its relatively low weight...’

Liz dodged the Giganto Zilla’s advance before shouting,

“You saw me use the other one, right?!”

The Paru tightened his grip over the weapon he had been tossed.

‘Some kind of mechanical hammer? It’s larger than a normal one. The grip and handle aren’t much thinner than the head. Could pass as a club...’

Additionally, the design was rough and looked like it had been rushed rather obviously.

‘If it’s the same as that machete...’

Indeed, next to where his thumb lay on the weapon, the Paru found a small button.

And just like for the machete, holes lay on the weapon’s back.

‘It’s on the head of the hammer here. So clicking will release that steam... Thing? It’ll add some weight and kinetic energy to my hits but... Can it really-‘

“FOCUS ON KEEPING IT IN YOUR HANDS!!” Liz shouted as she dodged again.

‘Mm...’ The Paru wiped his mouth with the back of his hand. ‘That heavy, huh?’ He swung the weapon twice, surprised by how light it was. ‘If she’s talking about it this way, then I just have to try it out!’

Liz swiftly plunged over a crystalline structure, reaching for the bag of weapons that lay behind it.

Moving freely while carrying them would be impossible, so she had strategically placed them around the area before joining the main fight.

Lacking the time to choose, Liz let her hand pull out the first weapon it grabbed, which ended up being a shotgun.

‘Tsk.’ She clicked her tongue because a lower-range weapon was definitely not the best choice right now.

The Giganto Zilla’s claws approached her, and she ducked while shooting at its hand.

It growled. But before it could move closer,

‘Let’s try to get this one then!’

The Paru was standing right behind the Giganto Zilla with both of his arms raised high, weapon in hand.

Aiming for the crystal at the tip of the Giganto Zilla’s tail, he started swinging the weapon down and clicked on the-

“What... What do we do now?” An out of breath Liz asked. “That... Didn’t seem... Very useful. Well... Except for the eye...”

“It was.” The Paru grinned. “We’ve already won-”

Despite having lost both of its eyes, the Giganto Zilla immediately turned in their direction!

“What... Was that?!”

The huge Visero ran directly at them, and both ran away!

Now blind, the Giganto Zilla seemed to have gained the ability to detect them better using charges in the air!

“Hahaha!”

“Why... Why the hell are you laughing?!”

“Well, this is fun, isn’t it?”

“There’s nothing... Fun about this!” Liz shouted despite having trouble controlling her breathing. “We’re being chased by a fucking Giganto Zilla! That thing killed... So many!!”

Suddenly, all three felt a tingling sensation.

Liz felt her heart drop as memories from her earlier expedition on Serolia arose.

The Giganto Zilla opened its mouth and growled, as if bragging. It raised its tail upwards to use it as a lightning rod.

The Paru grinned widely.

He suddenly moved towards the right, taking Liz into his arms, and jumping beyond a crystalline structure!

Liz froze from the surprise, and blushed from the embarrassment. She had her back against the ground, and he was lying on top of her. Liz was a Soldier and a female. Having a male protect her using his body was shameful to her. It was... Her job to do that.

Lightning struck.

The Giganto Zilla had, as planned, used the tip of its tail to attract lightning.

Except that this time,

GRRRWAAAA!!

The crystals that had the ability to Devour that lightning... Had all been shattered, and shaved off its body.
