10 Technological Advances – 2 (2/2)

(Vladmir): ”Banshees, uncloak and open fire. We need a landing space.”

(banshee): ”Understood, Commander.”

The banshees uncloaked as we approached, startling the goblins. They don't have much time to react, as the missiles of the banshees shower, killing several dozens of them in an instant, causing chaos. With that, we have an immediate landing space. I nod to myself, time to attack. With my assault rifle in hand, I give my command.

(Vladmir): ”Banshees, create a perimeter! Vikings, morph and land! I will join you in the ground!”

I order as I simply jump, using my own psychic powers to slow my fall greatly, falling gently like a feather on the destroyed corpses of the goblins. As I land, so do the Vikings, transformed in their land forms, landing and prepared for combat.

I land heavily, unaffected by the fall, pointing my assault rifle.

(Vladmir): ”Open fire!”

Our guns roared, the bullets flying and destroying the goblins instantly, shredding through the fragile bodies and tattered leather armors. The banshees also helped by covering us with their mini missiles. In a few minutes, we clear a lot of the enemy camp. This is going to be smooth.

As the battle goes on, ammo being dropped from the medivac, a commotion starts to form among the goblins as they retreat. I raise my hand, stopping the fire out if interest, my senses giving me off a feeling that something different will happen. And my senses are right, as the goblins open way, hitting their weapons on the ground in a rhythm.

And on the way that they opened, the one that is clearly their leader showed himself. He looks like a goblin, but only vaguely with his greenish skin. Muscular, tall body, ugly, humanlike face, muscular body and dressed in a metal armor that looks relatively good. He also has a sword, that looks relatively sharp.

He walks towards us, as if to intimidate us. He points his blade to me, and I take offense to that. What a rude fellow. While pointing his sword at me, he screams loudly, his troops answering his scream. Oh, he's raising moral, huh? He's cocky too.

As he raises his sword to advance ion my direction, I raise my hand, choking him with my psychic powers, raising him from the ground, his gurgling sounds stopping his troops from advancing. With my left hand, I hold him in the air. That's for pointing his sword at me.

And in my right hand, now raised as if I am about to deliver a punch, blue energy gathers, moving like electricity. Yes, it's a psionic shockwave, the electricity like power normally used by archons. It's a nasty ability, and very useful against organic targets.

The powerful blast easily eats through tissue, causing massive damage through rapid cellular degeneration and thermal energy transfer, meaning, it disintegrates organic tissue. Of course, my version is much weaker, I am limited to one person targets as well. And it's the first time to try out this technique!

I punch in his direction, the blue beam of energy coming out of my hand, hitting the floating goblin with ease. He screams in pain, being thrown backwards with the impact of my attack. As he flies, before he hits the ground, his scream is silenced, and only his empty and charred armor, together with his charred sword, fall to the ground, what remained of his body scattering on the wind.

The other goblins look at it terrified. I smile cruelly, and point my hand at them, ordering my Vikings to open fire. The goblins give up on attacking, scattering quickly. Some of them are trying to escape the plateau! I can't have that! I don't want to leave seeds of rebellion and clear the are from any threats!

Time to test my pure telekinetic might! I let my assault rifle fall to the ground, pointing my hands to the rocks above the way out of the plateau, stimulating my brain as much as possible, my abilities being enhanced by my suit. The rocks tremble, breaking away from the mountain the same way pain splits my brain.

With a mighty pull, I cause a rockslide, blocking the way and killing several of the goblins trying to escape. Time to clear the place for my new outpost!
