Another Stupid Isekai

The first undead who got close to the shark-like alien got smacked with the maul, but he withstood the attack, blocking with his sword. The power was so immense, that he slid on the sand a few meters before stopping and charging again. The second one, with an ax, managed to hack at the thick leg of the alien, but his weapon couldn’t cut through the thick plastic-like plate covering the flesh.

Meanwhile, Gavriil caused the summoned coffins to open. Lids fell on the ground revealing more soldiers hidden inside. They stepped out and immediately rushed at the enemy.

Shart tried to punch the undead who hit him but missed. Then he tried to stomp on him, but again, was unsuccessful. This bought enough time for the rest of Semenov’s minions to pile around him, and just start swinging. He tried to fight, but his maul got blocked a few times as the blood sprayed around.

Screams filled the arena, as he was taken down, but the undead kept hacking at it, until the screams of agony stopped completely, and the sand got again covered in red.

Gavriil laughed maniacally.

– More! More! – he screamed.

He got what he wanted, as another alien of the same species stepped forward, golding a heavy mace, and a shield. It was quite similar to the seethrough ones that I saw police on earth using from time to time.

He wailed while hitting it with his weapon. Then the sound of the gong announced the start of another duel. This gladiator, just like his predecessor was ground into a bloody pulp by Semenov’s in the span of the next few minutes.

The vampire seemed to be in ecstasy, as he watched the gory scene.

– This motherfucker is nuts – said Nil. – It’s kind of good that he is now on our side.

– He is, and will remain forever, on his own side – Adam pointed out.

– I wonder how many more we will have to face – said Will.

– Judging from the hard-to-read alien face of our host – said Tai. – plenty. We might stay here for days. Weeks even.

– You think they will want to crush us with numbers? – asked Nobuo.

– I’m sure of it – he replied.

I used the moment to finally have a proper look at the man. He was more or less similar to my height and was wearing a simple white T-shirt, with some grey sweatpants. His long black hair was tied up into a ponytail. Under the clothes were hiding well-developed muscles. His face was quite handsome. He could easily become an actor.

My observation was stopped, as another alien stepped into the arena. This one was different. It was also large, actually even bigger than the shark-like creature. It was all grey, and hunched over, with spikes protruding from its back. The large hands were armed with long claws. The legs on the other hand had hoofs. The mouth was long, kinda like a dod, with large, protruding teeth covered in foam and spit.

– The fuck is that? – asked Will, just as we could hear the sound of the gong.

The undead immediately charged. The creature also didn’t stay idle. It leaped into the air, with the speed I wasn’t expecting, and landed heavily next to Gavriil.

It swung its claws at him, but the attack was stopped in midair, as Semenov extended his own hand, and used ‘Telekinesis’. He screamed, and twisted that arm, just as the monster used the other one, but the vampire was faster and dodged the attack. Then he used his psychic powers again and blasted the alien straight into his minions, that were rushing to help their master.

The spikes on the creature’s back impaled two of the soldiers and pinned them down to the ground. The rest used that opportunity and just started hacking at it. The first few strikes were unable to penetrate the thick skin, but eventually, blades cut through it.

The monster tried to fight by swinging his claws, but the attacks were dodged with ease as they lacked both speed and accuracy because of the awkward position the alien found himself in. It only pushed a bit in time the inevitable demise from the weapons that remained in the constant move, decimating the body, and sending bits of blood and flesh in the air accompanied with terrible screams and squeals of the butchered beast.

– Rahahahahahaha! – Gavriil laughed maniacally. – More! More! Bring me more victims! I’ll them all apart! I’ll drink their blood! I’ll eat their flesh!

On our side few people tried to keep a poker face, others seemed a bit disgusted by what was displayed for them in the holoprojection. Some just laughed, as they found his behaviors just simply funny.

– This motherfucker is nuts – Nil repeated himself. – And scary.

– But he is winning, and that we all should care about right now – Adam pointed out.

– He is actually doing great – Tai pointed out. – He is still using only a couple of the undead, contrary to the whole army he has, and none of the blood stuff.

[0)ᴠʟ He briefly looked at me, as he said that, clearly referring to the fight between me and Gavriil.

– Yeah – Adam agreed. – He is still our first fighter, and he is killing them one after another. It looks promising for us.

– Maybe – said Tai. – It depends on how many of them they really have there. If hundreds, or even thousands, then yes. But if they have millions? Or more? We shouldn’t get so ahead of ourselves.

– Don’t be so pessimistic – said Will. – Maybe they have an army, but we have Peter.

He was clearly proud of his joke, even if nobody laughed.

– I’m neither green nor angry – I pointed out.

– We can paint you, and poke you a bit – said Borsi, clearly finding it funny.

I just shook my head, and left them, to find a place to seat. I also pulled out a can of tuna from my vault, to eat something. We obviously were going to stay in that place for quite some time.
