Chapter 162 Erchius Ghost 5 (1/2)

John and Peri kept chatting while slowly walking forward.

Just as one the Mining Facility's watchtowers entered in their sighed, both of them stopped at once.

In the horizon, they could see the purple cloud almost completely enveloping the Mining Facility.

”That is...” John face turned serious the moment that giant purple cloud entered in his sight, ”...Erchius Ghost...”

As soon as he muttered its name, two giant white balls appeared from within the cloud.

Those balls were like eyes and they stared at Peri and John just for a fleeting moment before it lost interest and returned to do what it was doing.

John and Peri decided to stay at such distance and watch.

After it was done with whatever it was doing, the cloud started to shift in size and shape.

In less than a second, the cloud acquired a discernable shape.

It pretty much looked like a floating worm with two arms popping just beneath what is suppose to be its head that contain the two white balls and a black hole in the middle that was the creature's mouth.

That was Erchius Ghost, the most fearsome creature in the universe.

Technically undying, and capable of easily destroy any metal it comes to touch.

The Erchius Ghost was a mystery as there have never existed the chance to closely study its movements.

Although it show interest in nothing but Erchius Fuel, if someone get to close, the Erchius Ghost will ruthlessly kill.

The way to stay safe is simply by maintaining distance and having nothing that has Erchius Fuel close to you.

”It's my first time seeing this thing up close.” Peri muttered in amazement as she stared at that purple worm-like creature, ”I wonder how strong it is...” Her eyes gleamed with fighting intent.

”Don't even think about it.” John extended his hand in front of her before she could move, ”It's suicide.”

Peri lowered her eyes from the Erchius Ghost and stared at John for a moment before saying, ”I know, I don't have a death wish...yet. Don't worry, I won't do anything reckless or stupid.”

John looked at Peri's eyes confirming if she really had no intentions on trying to fight the Ghost before lowering his arm, ”I was planning on taking the Erchius Fuel I dumped before entering the Mining Facility, but it looks like the Ghost already found them and ate it.”

John could feel relieved that although Peri liked to fight like any other Floran warrior, she still had a head over her shoulders and knew better than to pick a lost fight. If she was like any other Floran warrior, she would have just charged ahead despite of the consequences.

”We just need to get more.” Peri said.

”Yeah, but we need to wait until it get very far away before I can start taking Erchius Fuel.” John shook his head and started to walk from where they came from, the direct opposite way the Erchius Ghost was going, ”Let's go.”

Peri nodded and followed behind John.

...

John and Peri were calmly and silently walking in that rocky terrain when John suddenly broke the silence, ”Peri, what do you think of Lenny.”
