Chapter 77: Switch Terrain
Zap!
The sharp blade hit Fenrir, actually breaking through his super durability and slashing his body.
Still, the super durability managed to withstand the blade from cutting any further. Fenrir struck the alien’s fist with his paw and exploded that violent Ena on his paw to launch himself away.
Anubis was already activating his ability. At this moment, both of them didn’t argue anymore.
Both divine beasts recognized this alien as something they had never seen before. If they were careless against it, they would die.
‘What is that?’ Nathan frowned, staring at a huge curved blade that emerged from the alien’s arm. ‘Is that the power of symbiote? The symbiote can’t do such a thing unless… a mutant!’
Fenrir had fought against a mutant before, but he was able to overwhelm him.
The fact that Fenrir would be injured like this meant the alien was actually stronger than the previous mutant.
“A juvenile class mutant?!” Nathan gasped.
His teacher had told him that if he met a mutant, he should get away. Currently, both Fenrir and Anubis were as strong as a juvenile class alien. His teacher said that three summoners ended up dying to a mutant of the same level, so he should actually run away from this mutant.
At the same time, he couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows. Should he?
Seeing Fenrir’s wound starting to close, the alien hurriedly chased after Fenrir. The latter leaped into the air, gathering his breath in his throat.
“Waaf!” Fenrir let out his signature bark, shooting out his Ena.
However, the mutant actually waved its blade and cut Fenrir’s attack. Fenrir pounced on him, stopping both aliens’ arms with his own paws.
The mutant noticed that it couldn’t overpower Fenrir, so it changed its approach.
Before he could do something, a bullet suddenly hit the alien’s neck, piercing through its throat.
The alien only glanced at Nathan as the wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Anubis covered the alien’s body with his bandage from behind. With their combined efforts, Fenrir managed to push it down to the ground.
“Do it!” Fenrir shouted as he kept pinning the alien to the ground.
Nathan approached the alien, using his Deadly Claw to hit the enemy from a distance.
To his surprise, the blade on the alien’s left arm suddenly returned to the body, using all that cell to actually extend the blade on its right arm.
That blade blocked the Deadly Claw as it continued to extend toward Fenrir.
Fenrir was forced to jump away from the alien. Anubis tried to hold the alien with his bandages, but it started overpowering him, so he also had no choice but to pull back.
The alien swung the giant blade, somehow extending even further to the point where Fenrir was forced to jump even further away.
The alien even spun its body to reach Anubis and Nathan, but fortunately, those two were outside its range.
‘What is the limit of that blade? The cell on its body is generating that blade, but the longer the blade, the thinner it becomes…’ Fenrir’s expression turned grim when it noticed the alien’s intention.
The spin allowed the alien to see Nathan and Anubis. Seeing that Fenrir was the one who had been actively fighting it, the alien planned to go for those two.
Anubis hurriedly intercepted the alien, dragged its body to the ground. Both of them were wrestling on the ground, the alien’s blade still long enough to almost reach Nathan.
“!!!” Nathan’s heart skipped a beat.
Fenrir caught up and hit the alien with his tail, slashing the alien’s chest.
The alien rolled a few times but immediately stood up, its wound regenerating at high speed. Anubis returned to his position, ensuring Nathan’s safety.
On the other hand, Nathan noticed the hidden danger the alien possessed. “This can’t go on. We can’t fight in this place…”
Nathan looked around as if searching for something. His eyes suddenly focused in one direction.
“Anubis, follow me!” Nathan started running.
“Are we going to run again? While it’s effective, I don’t really like this tactic.” Anubis had experienced the effectiveness, but he wasn’t like Fenrir, who was free to learn everything. In fact, it was probably because of his father, God of Mischief, that Fenrir didn’t find the tactic repulsive.
Nathan shouted, “No! We are not running away!”
Anubis squinted his eyes. He had told him he would trust Nathan’s decision, so he hurriedly chased after him, hoping Nathan didn’t lie to him.
“!!!” The mutant tilted its head to the side, noticing Nathan’s sudden movement.
“What are you looking at?” Fenrir grinned and slapped the alien’s face and launched it away.
The alien bounced a few times on the ground, but it soon regained its balance and chased after Nathan and Anubis.
Fenrir followed right after, but neither Fenrir nor Anubis knew where Nathan was going.
It looked like he was running away, but he actually chose to enter the forest the alien came from.
Nathan halted his step and shot at the alien.
The alien easily blocked it with the mutated blade. This was an opportunity for Anubis to grab the blade with his bandages, wrapping it. After that, Anubis bit the blade, taking advantage of the bandage to avoid getting cut.
His job was just to stop the alien for a second as Fenrir caught up and smacked the alien from behind.
“Reee!” The alien crashed into several trees, only stopping when it hit the fourth one. The alien’s head was deformed slightly due to Fenrir’s extraordinary attack.
Meanwhile, Anubis could finally see why Nathan was running into this forest. When the alien was gone from his sight, his view was opened, allowing him to see the village in the distance.
That was right. They were fighting slightly too close to the village earlier. It would probably be fine with the proto-class aliens, since they weren’t that smart.
But what if the mutant targeted the villagers?
He chose to fight the battle here so that the alien wouldn’t harm the villagers in desperation.
Bam!
The alien cut down several times, opening up the battlefield.
Their true battle had just begun.
