Chapter 171 - Tail Of Destruction.
''Shit!'' With a burst of speed, Isaac sidestepped, just barely dodging the tail made of steel.
*SWOOSH!*
The tail didn't stop its advancement and pierced through the wall of the saloon, effortlessly cutting the whole wooden building in half!
The tail's length kept growing from 8 meters all the way to 20 meters!
More and more of the purple steel tail was appearing from underground.
Isaac's chat was panicking after the appearance of a beast no one had heard about yet.
''Haaahhh...'' Isaac aimed the Musket Rifle at the tail but had a hunch that he couldn't fight against a beast of this magnitude.
Can his weapon even break the armor is a very important question.
''Tsk.'' He stopped aiming and used his agility stats to limit. He leaped and landed on top of the roof of a nearby wooden building.
He saw the tail wreaking havoc, effortlessly destroying the saloon, which was in ruins.
It only took several seconds for the saloon to be completely destroyed!
Isaac looked at the hole in the ground where the tail was coming from and could only see the tail popping out, with the underground being pure dark.
He gulped and wondered what kind of beast was hiding there.
The camera was floating a dozen meters in the air; it recorded the destruction and captured Isaac's figure.
He turned around to see the uphill in the distance and felt tempted to start running, but the speed of the tail made him wary.
He dodged because the tail didn't go at full speed, instead was holding back greatly.
Isaac sighed and grabbed the Teleportation Pearl from his Inventory, which he wouldn't have wanted to use, but chances of survival seem very slim.
The chat seemed relieved after Isaac took it out, but someone else also reacted.
The tail stopped wreaking havoc; it completely stopped moving after feeling an energy signal that seemed very tasty.
Isaac turned towards the tail after hearing the sound of destruction stopping and saw the tail turning towards him, or more precisely, towards the pearl.
He widened his eyes after realizing what the tail wanted.
''Hom—!'' He tried to teleport away, but instantly, the tail moved and slapped Isaac away.
*BAM!*
Isaac's figure crashed on the rock wall, and the Teleportation Pearl flew out of his hand.
*BAM!*
[-155 HP]
His body crashed on the ground with all air gone from his lungs.
''Aaahhhhh...'' With a sound of pain, he moved to lie on his back and saw the tail moving anxiously, trying to find where the Teleportation Pearl disappeared.
Finally, Isaac felt his hand being empty; turning his head, he widened his eyes in shock after seeing the pearl gone.
The stream captured the scene, and most of them already gave up on hopes of survival after Isaac lost the pearl.
*CRACK!*
*BAM!*
Isaac felt the ground below him shaking and heard the sound of wooden buildings crashing down. The ground below him was losing its sturdiness, and it was only a moment away from completely falling down.
The culprit was the Beast in the underground, who seemed desperate to get his hands on the pearl, but it was nowhere to be seen.
The tail once again started approaching Isaac, thinking that he might have hidden it somewhere!
Isaac quickly rolled in the ground, and once the tail struck the place where he was in previously, it made an explosion, which sent debris and him flying away.
*CRASH*!
Isaac's figure crashed through a wooden building, which was one of the few that was still standing, but not anymore.
The wall was the first one that collapsed, and after that was the ceiling and rest of the walls, burying Isaac in the debris.
''Argh!'' He climbed out of the debris and, with exhaustion, looked outside the building, where the tail was still searching for the pearl.
The tail soon saw Isaac climbing out of the debris and became erratic.
The tail started vibrating; it was so fast that it looked like it multiplied, and instead of there only being 1 tail, there would be 3!
Isaac grabbed his Musket Rifle from underneath the debris and aimed it straight towards the tail.
The tail took that as a blatant provocation, and without further ado, it lunged towards Isaac!
The tail looked both dangerous and extremely deadly! No one in their right mind would want to face against such an attack.
Even Isaac's chat couldn't even see the attacks and only felt a chill going on their spine as they imagined them being in the same situation as Isaac.
Would they survive?
Definitely not!
*BAM*
*BAM*
*BAM*
The muffled sound was heard. The chat heard it and wondered what kind of sound that was.
It definitely wasn't a sound of the gun firing, instead of something else.
The Musket Rifle's barrel had a layer of ice, and a puff of cold air left Isaac's mouth.
Three bullets made of ice collided with the tip of the steel tail.
The steel armory around the tail started freezing, with a thick layer of ice forming all around.
The tail's speed also decreased significantly, giving Isaac enough time to dodge the strike.
*BAM!*
The tail crashed to the wooden debris, destroying the ice layer almost instantly, but it seemed stiffer than previously, having some difficulties in moving.
The stream finally saw Isaac appearing and was relieved to see him alive, but how long?
Isaac aimed the Musket Rifle once again at the tail, who was currently trying to destroy the rest of the ice and was successful doing so.
The tail quickly turned to look at Isaac, but soon its attention was distracted, and it looked straight towards the hole.
Isaac turned his head as well and widened his eyes in shock. A green pearl was rolling straight towards the hole, where the tail came from.
It was the Teleportation Pearl!
''No!'' He shouted and went after the pearl, but before managing to do that.
The tail bursted into motion, and it was miles faster than Isaac and passed him almost instantly!
Isaac widened his eyes and saw the tail approaching the pearl, and at this rate, he will lose it!
Without any choice left, he made a decision that would change his destiny once again.
A single choice can change his whole life and future of the world.
*BANG!*
Isaac pressed the trigger and fired the Musket Rifle.
The tail seemed ecstatic after it was about to touch the pearl, but then... A bullet went past it and collided with the pearl!
The bullet sent pearl flying away straight towards the hole, and without further ado, the tail went after it in anxiousness...
And so did...
Isaac.
With a leap of faith, he jumped inside the hole with the flying camera following behind him.
