Chapter 168 (1/2)

Chapter 168: Book of Revelation (Part 2) III

Have you guys played Pokemon?

If yes, you would definitely recognize Charizard .

The opposing planet had 13 Charizard-like creatures spiraling in midair .

They were orangey red in color and were periodically spitting flames from their mouths .

How were my monkeys supposed to go against such strong opponents?

The 13 flaming dragons were different in sizes and one seemed to be carrying something on its back .

I kept my desert eagle and got my 98K ready .

I took aim at the different looking one .

My mind was kind of blank . I did not know how to process the fact that such creatures existed in this universe .

My hands started trembling and that was when I understood that I had no talent in controlling guns .

I was unable to steady my aim .

Amidst it all, I saw a person riding on the dragon .

Kill the king first .

However, I failed to take aim or even match up with the dragon's spiraling speed .

The 98K was heavy and burdensome .

I turned around and saw that the monkeys had abandoned me yet again .

The dragons could easily burn my mini forest down, there was no point in climbing up a tree .

The opponent made a move; the dragon plunged toward us .

It was not practical for me to engage my 98K again .

I could only use my desert eagle . I made a shot and the recoil had me plopping onto the ground .

I had chosen these two weapons to look cool but, that obviously backfired . No pun intended .

My arm was numb from the shot .

I had no idea where the bullet landed, but by the time I raised my desert eagle again, the dragon was already before me and had used its claw to hold me down .

Half my body was trapped, and I finally got a clear look at the person on the back of the dragon .

It was a man, or rather, a boy .

”Where are you from?” the boy asked

”I . . . Wait, you?” I replied incoherently .

”Planet Earth, huh? A Chinese at that,” he said with a smile .

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry . Instead, I stammered, ”You . . . you too?”

”You're the third earthling that I've met so far,” he shared .

”There are others like us?”

”Yes, but I have destroyed both of them . ”

I looked around and caught sight of his booklet . LV8 .

”Why are you LV8?” I asked, astonished .

”Looks like you know nothing . You won't be of any use to me,” he stated disappointedly, his eyes on my helmet .

Was he letting his guard down now?

”Is it even fair for an LV2 to be matched with an LV8?” I argued .

”The match is random . Plus, level does not determine strength . I was matched with an LV7 back when I was still at LV4, but he really wasn't that big of a deal,” he said nonchalantly .

”What do you know about this place? If you're going to kill me, I don't want to die an ignorant fool,” I exclaimed .

”My sentiments exactly . Let's exchange useful information,” he proposed .

”As in?”

”When did you arrive here?”

”Year 2017 . ”

”I've been in 63 battles before you arrived, and I have yet to lose . You're my 64th enemy . Out of the 63 of them, only three were earthlings . They were English and j.a.panese . They're all dead now . You're the only person, apart from me, who speaks Chinese . ”

”Isn't this one of life's greatest blessings? Meeting a friend in a foreign place?” I tried .

”Don't . I'm not going to fall for that,” he deadpanned .

”Oh . ”
