Chapter 58: Pregnant head (1/2)
While many were afraid of what they saw, Amon and the girls were oblivious to this and continued to walk through the mysterious realm.
”Caution.” Amon's indifferent voice caught their attention.
When they stopped walking, all they saw was Amon jump up and grab something by the neck.
”...Gigigigi.” A gorilla that had jumped was caught in the air, making strange sounds as it used its big hands trying to break Amon's arm that held its thick, tree trunk like neck.
Amon snorted coldly. When they fell to the ground, because of the gorilla's size, he was supposed to land with his feet on the ground first, but suddenly, he felt a massive weight under his body, and his feet sank into the ground.
Amon looked at Ariel, who smiled at him. Amon nodded, then tightened his grip on the gorilla's neck.
*CRACK!*
The sound of the gorilla's neck breaking echoed.
Soon, Amon's and Ariel's points rose again. It seems Ariel's contribution was not small, as she earned only slightly less than Amon.
Soon after its death, the gorilla disappeared. It was sucked into the device they used to determine how many kills they made.
”There may be others in the trees, be careful,” Amon warned. However, his usual indifference was nowhere in sight, for those who spent some time with him could tell the difference and notice the concern he had for them in his voice.
Knowing that he cared about them to the point where he wasn't indifferent as he typically is… That was more satisfying than you can imagine. The girls nodded but couldn't wipe the silly smile off their faces.
Amon found their reaction strange but seeing that they agreed, he continued walking. This time he started to lead, as his sense of danger was superior to theirs.
On the way, they encountered some animals that tried to ambush them. Either through the trees or even through the earth, coming out of the ground.
The most common was to come out from behind a tree, or in a more forested part, come out of the bushes and try to attack them. However, they were attentive and not caught off guard.
”This place is more dangerous than I imagined. Glad we got in together.” Maisa shuddered at the thought of being alone, ”I'm glad we're together.”
”I think so too.” Even Ariel had to agree with what she said.
Their faces wore serious expressions as they nodded.
Needless to say about the other girls, the strength of Julia and Barbara was not very different from Maisa, and it was certain that if they were alone, they could have been seriously injured or even worse... Dead!
Putting those depressing, hypothetical thoughts aside, they continued walking while keeping their guard up.
”Monkey!” This time, almost all four girls said together.
The monkey that jumped off a small cliff towards them was detected by them, and caught by the twins' water, Barbara's fire, and Ariel's telekinesis. It was brutal, the monkey's moans echoing in all directions as severe wounds appeared on his body.
Soon the monkey dropped dead to the ground.
”Hehe~”
The girls laughed as they made the ”V” sign for Amon.
”Mm, very well done,” Amon said.
There were a few words, but that was enough to make the girls happier. Of course, knowing the impending danger, they weren't happy for long, so they kept a serious eye as they walked.
”Danger!” Amon's senses were awakened. When he stopped abruptly, he was more serious than ever. His caution was on a level the girls had never seen.
On the ground, there was a corpse, and it was being eaten by an extremely disgusting monster. It was big-headed and with a belly more prominent than a 9-month-pregnant woman.
”Kikiki?”
The danger signal only increased when the monster looked at Amon and the girls.
Amon's focus was almost on the hyperfocus level, something he was still trying to achieve.
In Amon's body, lightning began to crackle with the sound of electricity that was generated around his body.
Amon clenched his fist and used all his strength as he moved at lightning speed.
*Bang!*
