Chapter 130: Whimsical Lightning

Roka stood before one of the closed doors for a moment, before unleashing a front kick that forced it open.

‘Geh...’ The Paru scratched his head. ‘Making that much noise can’t be a good idea... Well, I guess she’s doing that to keep her weapon in her hands. Still...’

Roka only let out a sigh of relief once all the doors had been pushed open and each room had been inspected.

‘Let’s quickly get what I need-‘

She stopped for a moment, her gaze lingering on the vault’s door.

It was closed, which was worrying, but at the time... Not.

‘Did we keep it closed back then? I doubt a Visero would enter and close it up... Should I check just in case?’

Roka debated for a moment, before shaking her head.

‘I don’t have time for this. Quickly, I need to find the...’

The Paru pressed his lips together, waiting, rather impatiently, for Roka to find what she came looking for.

Using Thermal Vision, he could keep track of her movement from within the vault.

It took about ten minutes for the Commander to find everything.

“Yes...!” She whispered, before turning towards the exit. “That’s everything.”

The Paru only walked up the stairway once Roka was standing on the spaceship’s retractable ramp.

He peeked from within the spaceship, and could see a bag in her hands.

From it, peculiar rods could be seen going over the edges.

‘I guess those are the lightning rods they used... Wonder how useful they are.’

Roka had gained something else as well.

‘Hm... Some kind of screen? Looks like a GPS device. Must be what they called EMPs, right? Or something that delivers EMPs...? Whatever those are.’

Just as the Paru was about to exit the spaceship, the facial expression on Roka’s face changed.

“Shit...!!” She cursed through clenched teeth.

The Paru moved forward faster and,

ROAAAAR!

Wasting no time, Roka took hold of her shotgun.

The Paru had circled around the Giganto Zilla, staying away from Roka.

The Visero, able to detect him but unable to see him, was forced to turn in the Paru’s direction out of sheer confusion.

The Giganto Zilla, enraged, turned in Roka’s direction,

Bang!

The Visero roared as her bullet found its way to the Giganto Zilla’s eye!

The tingling feeling assaulted both the Visero and the Paru, but it was clear to both that lightning would strike the rods.

The Giganto Zilla, ignoring the blade that cut its leg, made one of the lightning rods collapse.

‘Tsk... Not giving up despite it, huh?’

From the corner of his eye, the Paru noticed Roka running away.

This made it clear.

There was no reason to fight the Giganto Zilla.

The best thing he could do was grab the lightning rods and run for it. The optimal move, perhaps.

But that quickly changed, as lightning struck.

The deafening and piercing roar of thunder resonated seconds later, and Roka turned around as she ran.

“Yes...!”

Just as she had hoped, the Giganto Zilla’s crystals remained without light. Without electricity.

This meant that the Visero was incapable of launching long-range attacks.

‘Now... Should I go back to the ship, or go directly to the Tsero?’ Roka asked herself, a wide and excited smile on her face. ‘Running away successfully from a Giganto Zilla... Obtaining the rods and this beauty! Perfect! It’s going perfectly!’

Indeed, it was going perfectly.

For more than herself.

The Giganto Zilla roared and growled.

It hadn’t been blessed by lightning.

But neither had the lightning rods.

Instead, the one that lightning whimsically decided to strike was...

“GRRARGHHHH!!!” The Paru shouted.

Shouts muffled by the Visero’s growls and roars.
