105 Gatling Gian (1/2)

Linri was crouching down together with Leslie and Gendor was down on the ground covered in dirt.

”How is everyone?” Linri shouted at the comm. It was hard to hear anything because of the continuous gunfire.

”I am okay.” Hayato answered.

”Me too.” Luke followed him.

”Don't know about you guys but I am cool as a cucumber.” Damn! Linri never wanted to punch someone so much in his life. Okay, we get it, bullets don't hurt you but do you have to boast about it so much every time?

”Copy that. Selim, try to take it down or at least try to stop its gun. Luke give backline support!”

”Understood.” Both of them answered at the same time.

Once he got the order to strike Selim didn't waste any second to attack the monster. Actually from the moment the monster appeared, he hadn't moved an inch. He just let all the debris and bullets phase through him. The whole time he was standing there, the monster was shooting at him. Selim did not need to dodge so he decided to stay still. Who knows maybe the monster would run out of bullets?

That was, however, until he got the order to attack. His blood was already boiling so Selim brought out his knives and started to rush towards the monster. The Gun's aim was following him but it was not important. Even if the monster kept shooting till the end of earth it still wouldn't be able to scratch Selim's hair.

Yeah well actually he could but that would take a long time and for Selim to stop concentrating on dodging the bullets. I mean even if Selim's weaknesses was magic he still had to see the attack coming before being able to phase through it.

Selim finally made it to the monster. Both he and the monster had a mad look in their eyes. Selim could let loose in fights like these actually he revelled in them. However this time things did not go as well as he planned. Thinking that his opponent was a big dumb monster Selim rushed towards it but when he was about to slash it with his knives the monster stopped shooting and kicked him.

If he was on guard he could have dodged it but because he was looking down on his opponent the thought had not even crossed his mind at all. So he was kicked in the stomach and thrown towards the wall. It happened so fast that Selim did not even have any time to phase himself and directly crashed at the wall and vomited blood.

After the kick, the Gatling Armed Monster stopped moving. There was an eerie red light coming out of its eyes.

”Selim Come IN!! Are you alright!” Luke shouted in the coms but there was no answer from him. Linri peaked from the corner to see that Selim was passed out.

Great! Now he had another problem to deal with. The best person suited to deal with the giant was gone.

”Look” Leslie whispered to Linri while pointing at the monster.

Linri looked where she was pointing at but the only thing he could see was the Gatling Giant standing there. Linri turned back to Leslie and looked at her with inquisitive eyes.

”Can't you see? He is re-calibrating which mean he has no self-conscious.” Linri still did not understand her point to which she just rolled her eyes.

”That means the whole thing is just a big walking computer and don't we have the perfect guy to deal with that?” said Leslie and looked at Hayato.

Before Linri could answer back though, the Gatling Giant started to walk towards them.

”Hayato can you control that thing?” Linri asked hurriedly. The monster could start shooting at any minute again and this time they would be swiss cheese for sure.

”If it's controlled by a computer sure but first I need to get close to it to infect it with my nanobots and its gonna take time to hack into its system.”

Well now that was a problem but at least the situation wasn't as hopeless as before now.

”Luke on my mark! 3,2,1, GO!” Linri shouted through comms and dashed out of the cover. He didn't exactly have a plan to fight that thing and during the night he didn't really have destructive powers. I mean if he could manipulate fire he could just stay behind the covers and continuously burn that thing but ice didn't have any similar properties. Best he could do was turn the ice on his body to giant icicles and shoot its legs to try to immobilise the Gatling Monster.
