133 The Greatestererest Ancestral Madman Lapu-Lapu (2/2)
He was Lapu-Lapu, the local chieftain of the Mactan island and the one who replied with utmost confidence against the leader of the Spanish invaders.
\”We bow to no God but the spirit inside us.\” Lapu-Lapu, with his warm yet authoritative voice shouted in reply. Magellan's interpreter on the other side did his job right away and Magellan immediately frowns in displeasure after hearing the interpreted reply.
\”Hahaha! Just look how manly my entrance is. What do you think son? I look handsome right?\” The warm voice suddenly interrupted Elric who was watching on the sides. Judging from their reaction despite him obviously standing before them, it seems that the people around do not see him at all.
With a surprized look in his face, Elric said, \”So you are Lapu-Lapu? Then why do you call me son-\”
\”Shhhh- quite. I love this part.\” The warm voice of Lapu-Lapu stopped him.
\”Are you boys done with your Sine?\” The voice of Kahayag entered out of nowhere as well.
\”Oh, Inday! I am just showing my Apo how amazing his greatestererest grandpa is.\” The warm voice excitedly invited Kahayag.
\”I don't have time for your childish-\” Kahayag declined.
\”Pfft. Boring. Hey Elric. Just watch. Look how I took care of those white-egged kids.\”
Hearing the unseen characters talking in his background, Elric only ended up being more confused. Just what the heck is greatestererest anyway?
Either way, he was still interested to watch what really happened in the famous event called the Battle of Mactan.
The show continued before his very eyes.
The sun was still far from completely revealing itself, but Elric could see everything as if it was a day.
With a smirk on his face, Ferdinand Magellan took out the long sword dangling on his side and waved it high.
\”Mate! todos os índios!\” Magellan bellowed furiously.
His eyes glared with great fervor and pointed his sharp sword directly towards Lapu-Lapu's figure. It was a declaration to kill all the brown men whom they called Indios.
\”Patya! Ubosa sila tanan!\” Lapu-Lapu shouted in reply. It means to kill and wipe them out.
The Spanish men were greatly outnumbered, fifty against a thousand native men. But with the help of their advance weapon and full plated armors, their confidence soared high.
BANG!
BANG!
SHOOK~
BANG!
BANG!
The waist-deep water was a great disadvantage to the charging brown men. The Spaniards took advantage of this opportunity and relentlessly unloaded their guns as more bodies of native men suddenly collapsed while charging - they were dead.
Elric watched the battle with a frowning face. He already knew what was gonna happen according to the records but actually seeing the event firsthand was just completely different.
The shoreline was quickly dyed red from the blood of the dead men.
The Spanish men mercilessly shot barrage after barrage of their gunfires while their hard plated armors kept them safe from the weak arrows of the natives.
BANG!-
TING!~
But contrary to the dying men, Lapu-Lapu was different. Bloodlust was masked in his face. He used his incredible speed, flexibility, and strength to deflect the bullets as if they were just ping pong balls.
\”Focus on him!\” Seeing that Lapu-Lapu managed to advance forward without sustaining a single injury, Magellan immediately shouted another command. In response, more of Magellan's men switched to target the crazy brown man right away.
BA-BA-BA-BANG!
TI-TI-TI-TING!~
Like a possessed demon, Lapu-Lapu swiftly blocked all the incoming bullets with his massive cutlass. His bulging muscles danced together with the swiftly splashing water with the blade as his partner. He showed the main reason he was elected as the Chief of the Mactan island.
He was the best warrior of the Visayas after all.
Seeing this, Magellan ordered a more focused attack against the incoming madman, giving more space for the other natives to advance further.
One of Magellan's men managed to move past the charging natives and prepared for a melle battle against the chief of the Mactan island.
The soldier had a wide smirk on his face as he swung his long sword aiming at Lapu-Lapu's neck.
\”Hah. Easy kill-\”
RAAGHR!
CLANK!
Unexpectedly, Lapu-Lapu managed to stop the sword with a sudden grab of his bare mouth. His red brown-red eyes glowed menacingly as it reflected from the shiny sword of the Spanish soldier.
Elric, on the other side, could only do nothing but hang his mouth open in great surprise. His eyes almost popping out as well.
\”Saitama is that you?\” Elric thought.
