Chapter 6: Search For Materials III
Aldo equipped laser gun in hand and began shoot laser bullets on transformed bats. Aldo is skilled in hunting animals with any weapon he wields. His aim is accurate because he is used to hunting thanks to Kaiser, and the previous men who died, who made this boy stronger by sending him off for hunting in past.
"..."
Despite his aim is accurate, the laser gun, as excepted, had no effects on those creatures at all.
"Shit, it won't work kid. We should run away!"
Aldo rode on cerberus as he tried to escape from those flying creatures. One of the transformed bats spread its wings as it flung the spikes with it. One of the spikes, at extreme speed, shot Kaiser's left arm and his arm detached from the body.
"ARRRGHH! My aARM!"
Kaiser groaned in pain as he fell off of the Cerberus onto the ground.
"..." The boy signals to stop Cerberus (Archie)
"No! Kid! Run away! Don't worry about me!"
Avoiding his words, boy came near Kaiser to help him. Then, Aldo realised that cerberus could potentially harm or even kill those bats since it is also a transformed one.
Aldo ordered Archie to attack those transformed bats with its flame balls.
Cerberus, confirming the orders, attacked three creatures with flame balls which burned them to ashes at the same time. Thanks to cerberus's three heads which can easily target three enemies simultaneously. However...
"Huff.... It's not the end, there are many more! I wonder how many bats you saw yesterday."
The boy recalled that he atleast saw ten bats, looking directly into their eyes, yesterday.
"Ah man..." Kaiser looked a little bit hopeless.
Aldo helped Kaiser stood up and ride back on the Cerberus. Aldo ordered once again to throw those flame balls to the enemies's direction.
Cerberus did exactly what it was told to do but, unfortunately, those creatures became aware of the incoming attacks as they dodged the flame balls.
"Tch! Talk about their little brain, they do really learned their lessons huh?"
Kaiser was a bit surprised that these brainless looking creatures became aware of those attacks.
"..." The boy noticed the dead end as his eyes locked on two other paths, leading somewhere deep inside the cave
All the flying creatures swung their wings, aiming with precision, and fired spikes at Cerberus.
"Oh no!"
The boy immediately ordered the cerberus to move forward and take the right turn to avoid the incoming spikes. Cerberus followed the orders and escaped through the right path.
Then he ordered Cerberus to hide both Kaiser and himself somewhere safe.
Creatures, who followed along, seemed to be confused and scattered all around to search for Aldo and Kaiser. Especially Kaiser because he is the main target for them.
"Ouch!"
The boy put his finger on his own lips and gestured Kaiser to stop shouting. After few minutes later, boy made sure that less blood flow out of Kaiser's left side where his arm is no more.
"To think I would lose one of my hands, huh? Well, I don't care. I deserved it after all."
Aldo looked at Kaiser with rather a sad face.
"Don't you worry, I am an adult and a man! I will be fine, it's just a mere scratch." said Kaiser in a low voice while putting his right hand on his own chest with proud.
Kaiser made sure that the boy is not to be blame for all of this.
"Listen kid, before we search for materials here we need to get rid of these bats. Understood?"
Aldo nodded in response.
"But the question is how we can defeat them? Their speed and physical prowess are much higher than I thought."
"..."
Both Aldo and Kaiser pondered for a while on what to do about those flying transformed creatures.
"Yeah, I have an idea. Let's put use of that laser gun of yours."
----
After sometime, Kaiser suddenly, with a loud voice, said-
"HEY! DUMBASS FUCKING TRANSFORMED BATTIES! YOU LOOKING FOR ME HUH? I AM HERE. YOU HEAR MEEE! FUCK YOU BATS, ASSHOLES WHO TRANSFORMED INTO BRAINLESS FLYING SHITS!"
The voice echoed throughout the cave, all those creatures followed the path where the voice came from. They rushed quickly and easily spotted Kaiser, who is standing in a wide area.
"Heh, thought I should show myself you piece of shits!" exclaimed Kaiser, while holding the laser gun in his right hand.
Kaiser shot one laser bullets on transformed bats. However any of the bats hadn't attempted to dodge it and instead took the shot but the attack is ineffective yet again.
"Oh, so you even remember which attacks don't work or which works on you huh?"
Kaiser confirmed that these creatures adapt to situations quickly and so they remember that laser guns won't work on them.
"But you are still brainless creatures who gets overconfident and underestimate your opponents." said Kaiser.
Kaiser thought 'Just a little bit more, I have to make sure to use the gun at the right time with precision or else I am done'.
"Yes, this is it! Here it goes assholes!"
Kaiser aimed his weapon, not on the creatures but rather on the spikes at the ceiling of the cave. He shot down those spikes at the correct timing and with enough precision, making those spikes fall on the creatures.
"HURRY UP BOY, ORDER CERBERUS TO USE ITS DAMN FUCKING FLAME BALLS OR ELSE I WON'T SURVIVE!"
Transformed bats struggled to get out of spikes, they were hurt but some of them were dead because their nape was completely pierced.
'Oh, their weakness is similar to that of titans. But it seems like those small bats were inside of their transformed body which suggests they can be saved unlike Titans.' muttered Kaiser in his head.
Kaiser came to realise that, unlike pure Titans who couldn't be saved, these creatures can be saved since their original body exists within their transformed body.
Before these creatures began to fly again, they were already overwhelmed by flame balls. Aldo had ordered his pet Archie to target those transformed bats.
Since those creatures were at the same place, they all got burned to ashes.
"Phew....finally...." said Kaiser, in relief.
