Chapter 39: 39. Into the wilderness (2)

A squirrel the size of a dog was running deeper into the forest when a loud bang resounded. In that moment the squirrel with its monstrous teeth had a hole in its head and it fell down.

Laurence put his arm which had a gun down and looked around to see the field of dead squirrels all around.

"That's the last of them." Laurence said and Chapman sighed.

"That should be more than 200 monsters now." He said.

"191." Johnny mumbled as he sat down to relax on a tree.

"Let's take a five minute rest." Laurence said and then he sat down on the ground which had little grass. His guard was still up as he held his guns tightly.

Dexter used this opportunity to see his progress.

Laurence started running around the tiger and then he opened fire. Bullet after bullet was shot towards the tiger and it changed it's target to Laurence.

The tiger was fully focused on Laurence, not seeing Johnny and his big hammer coming from the side.

Johnny swung his hammer horizontally towards the running tiger's leg and before it could know what was happening, pain struck.

Johnny's hammer hit its knee joint with full force, making it tumble and roll on the floor as it winced in pain.

It then tried to get up. It's leg wasn't broken which shocked the others and from nowhere.

A purple light flashed. Chapman appeared beneath the tiger and cut it mildly and then he sped to another side and cut it again on its knee.

The tiger couldn't see Chapman as he was very fast and struck the air with its claws, hitting nothing but thin air.

*ROOAARRR!*

The tiger roared, tired of being played with, causing the black stripes on its body to glow a bright white light and it's pupils too flowed a bright white colour.

It then suddenly vanished, leaving Chapman there stunned.

Others thought it vanished but Dexter saw how the tiger sprinted with times two speed than before.

Dexter jumped and pushed Chapman out of the way and put his spear pointed in front of him.

The paw that was targeted at Chapman came for Dexter instead and the spear pierced into the paw of the tiger, making it suddenly stop running as it growled loudly in pain.

Dexter who still held onto the spear pointed his hand downwards.

The mutant vine bracelet which was on his hand and had three pointy sides suddenly lit up a faint white light as Dexter infused spirit energy into it.

The three pointy edges shot out, along with a thin black rope and it dug into the floor and held Dexter.

Dexter now had the tiger in place. The spear which was impaled in its paw was held firmly by him and the tiger tried to swing him and throw him away but the vines of the bracelet were deep into the ground.

He transferred lightning through his spear and the tiger didn't move for a while, stunned.

Laurence then aimed at it and shot one of its eyes, causing blood to spill out rapidly and causing the tiger to forcefully remove its paw from the spear, breaking out from being stunned.

It suddenly charged at Laurence, leaving a cloud of dust as it crossed fifteen metres in one second with its claws ready to cut him down.

In the that moment Laurence raised his hand up which a gauntlet was on and a blue barrier stopped the paw from advancing further.

Johnny jumped up high with his hammer, ready to smash the tiger and he swung down with a grunt, putting all his energy into it.

*BANG!!!*

The hammer collided with the head of the tiger, making its second eyes burst and blood to gush out of its mouth.
