Chapter 55: 55. Attack (1): Another titan

"Wow. This... is kind of complicated." Dexter mumbled as he put a hand on his chin.

'Any part of the body. So she can use it to coat weapons and stuff.' Dexter nodded as he reasoned it.

''It should be okay.'' Dexter said as he handed the skill over to Lily.

After telling her how to learn it she nodded and proceeded to do as she was told.

She squeezed it with one hand and then used her two hands since one hand couldn't break it.

A golden beam of light then shot into her forehead and her brows suddenly raised.

''A problem now is that you don't have a good weapon.'' Dexter mumbled and then she looked up to him.

''Brother, there's more I can do.'' She said and Dexter raised brow.

''Yes. I can also produce gas, solid, and liquid." She said and then pointed her hand towards a random direction.

''No, no, no, no. Let's find a creature to test it on first." Dexter said and they continued to walk around the area.

They soon saw a group of four zombies tearing a human body to shreds while making loud growling sounds.

"Use the skill." Dexter said and Lily nodded before walking out of their hiding place.

She pointed her arms forward and four little green needles appeared around her, floating in mid-air.

The needles made subtle whistling sounds as they flew towards the zombies. The needles managed to piece the zombies in diffirent parts, surprising Dexter.

*Grrr...*

The zombies growled as they looked back to see the little girl, standing there confused on what she was supposed to do next.

The zombies charged at her with full speed, growling loudly. On their teeth were pieces of meat and Lily wanted to scream.

All of a sudden the zombies fell down to the floor, unmoving and limp.

She looked to the side to see Dexter with his spear held upwards, ready to strike down the zombies. She looked at his face to see his confusion written on it.

His wife died in labor when giving birth to his daughter. His daughter ws only 10 when the tiran impact occured. Zombies raged into his home and his daughter was bitten. The colonel, had no choice, but to put a bullet in his daughter.

''Be a good guy Laurence. Go help your people.'' The colonel said as he took a bike and began riding towards the giant crab titan.

Laurence only gave one final salut and then went to assist the people in the camp to the trucks.

''Where is the colonel?'' Beatrice asked Laurence as she couldn't find colonel Chapman anywhere.

''He's gone.'' Laurence said sadly and her eyes widened.

''We don't have much time. Don't think of going after him. Just help me with these people.'' Laurence said earning him a cold gaze from the beauty and she then began to have flashbacks of how he always took care of her when he saved her from her kidnappers.

''Beatrice... Beatrice?'' All sounds around her began to be drained as she felt pain in her heart for the first time.

All of a sudden she felt two strong arms wrap around her shoulder and she looked up to see Laurence.

''Even if the colonel is gone, I'm still here for you. Now get it together.'' He said to her in a serious tone and she nodded before going to help out.

...

''Where did he go off to?'' Leo asked Zain and Rina who were assisting others.

''He said he was going hunting.'' Zain replied and Leo became worried as they could leave Dexter behind.

''Where do I even begin to look for that guy?'' Leo mumbled and then Zain held his shoulder.

''I know you want to go and look for him but that thing would find us before you find him so help us load all the trucks.'' Zain said and Leo looked back to him while nodding. ''We can only hope that he comes back before the trucks leave... if not, he'll have to face that thing when he comes.''

Leo sighed and then nodded before beginning to direct the people towards the trucks.

...

The colonel was extremely serious with his decision. He drove with a serious expression and he pulled out a locket from within his shirt where he saw the picture of he, his wife, and his daughter when they were together in the hospital after his wife gave birth.

He looked forward and the creature was now in full view and his eyes widened before he stopped the bike.

''What in the world is that?!''
