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 . ”
