Chapter 56: 56. Attack (2): Mind attack

The colonel was currently looking at a creature 30 meters tall with the body of... not a crab, a scorpion. It had the pincers of a crab and its four eyes had glowing blue pupils in them.

The colonel gritted his teeth as he continued to drive the bike towards the crab.

The crab noticed him and let out a loud roar before charging towards the human while clamping it's pincers.

The colonel put the steering of the bike on straight so that it won't bend and he brought out three grenades from his pocket and removed their pins before putting them back in.

He then brought out another three from the other pocket and did the same and he entered maximum speed with the bike.

He had teardrops flowing down his cheeks as he got nearer and nearer to the hideous creature, at the same time counting the seconds it takes for it to blow up.

30m apart, 3 more seconds

20m apart, 2 more seconds

"ARGHHH...!!!'' The colonel shouted as he got close to the titan and it waved it's pincer at him with full force ready to just crush this weak human in front of it.

*BOOM!!!*

A huge explosion shook the air, blowing a lot of zombies lurking around to bits and a huge smoke cloud rose.

...

Dexter heard the loud explosion. Him and Lily looked back to see the smoke cloud rising and he immediately grabbed her hand.

''I think something is happening. Let's head back.'' He said and she nodded.

He carried her and began to sprint towards the camp, reaching 150km per hour speed.

...

Back at where the smoke cloud was, a low growling came from within the smoke and the crab-scorpion titan emerged from it, completely unscathed.

It's four, blue eyes darted around the surroundings and it couldn't find the human that attacked it.

*CRAAAA...!!*

It roared loudly before charging towards its original direction which was the human camp.

The creature roared and all of a sudden Rina grabbed her head and began to squel in pain.

''What's going on?'' He asked and then he saw that the others too were in that kind of situation except him.

Laurence survived the bullet shot and continued to shoot at the creature, making him get almost smashed a couple of times.

''It seems like a mind attack.'' Leo said as he came from behind Dexter.

''It's still roaring while fighting Laurence. That must be how it does it.'' Dexter stated his observation.

''We have to divert its focus.'' Dexter said before running forward.

Leo was still in a daze, he didn't know what the word 'divert' was so he just decided to follow Dexter's lead.

Dexter then conjured up a white ball which sparked with lightning around and he fired it towards the creature's pincer which was going down to Laurence.

*Bang!*

The lightning ball collided with the pincer, making a small explosion and shifting the pincer from its original direction and Dexter grabbed Laurence away from there.

''Thank you.'' Laurence whispered.

His skin was pale and Dexter knew it was due to overusing his spirit energy.

The mind attack seems to stop as Zain, Rina, Johnny and Chapman came forward.

''What about the other soldiers?'' Dexter asked and Laurence looked at him weirdly.

''They are no match for this thing. Well just be bringing them here to sacrifice themselves for nothing.'' He said as he then stood up straight. ''Let's stall it and buy time for the trucks to leave.''

''Chapman, Johnny, make sure the people get to the southern district's military base.'' He said and his men saluted him before leaving.

The creature growled loudly before roaring again and then almost everyone fell to the floor. Once again, Dexter wasn't affected.

He used his shadow switch skill to appear below the monster before jumping upwards towards its jaw.

Lightning covered his fist and he punched the jaw of the monster, closing it up and causing it to keep shut.

A pincer came from the side and Dexter put his spear in front of him and he got knocked away into another building.
