Hao Ren felt that he had gained an incredible innate ability. The ability that his target will self-destruct fifty percenty of the time when he wants them taken alive. It was not only the escaped brain monster, but this commander as well. Just as he ordered that the commander be taken alive, the god-of-war-like commander suddenly started chanting something with his sword raised before a blinding light shot out of his body, leaving no one any time to react. A powerful heatwave soon followed the shockwave of the explosion.

“Watch out!” Hao Ren could only yell out a short warning before grabbing a handful of her fur to pull her aside. Lily was still busying chomping the metal tincat in her mouth and reacted a tad bit slowly, and was sent flying by the shockwave a dozen of so meters away before smashing against the temple wall. Thankfully she was more physically robust and a mere heatwave would not do any damag against her, but that did scared her silly.

The one injured was Hao Ren. He was still clinging on to Lily’s fur around the scapula and when the husky smashed against the wall, Hao Ren was caught in the middle. Even when his steel membrane shield had taken out most of the impact, he was still in a daze..

Lily slowly slid down the temple wall and with a shake of her head she regained her balance. Hao Ren clambered up her neck in a sorry state. As he shake his head he grumbled. “Whose foot did I bloody stepped on… F*ck, he really went to blow himself up. That hardcore?”

He looked up at where the traitor commander once stood and there was nothing but a crater and molten metal and rocks flowed freely in the crater while a cackling thunderbolt darted about was slowly weakening. Y’zaks looked at crater before speaking resignedly. “Nothing but liquid now.”

“F*ck, that was a rare chance to capture one alive!” Hao Ren sled down from Lily’s forelimb. As the fighting early was so brutal with each side not giving other any quarter, lets not even mention sparing anyone, there was not even an intact corpse left. Hao Ren too noted the fact and sighed. “Forget it, I have sent out the probes from the ship, maybe there are enemy units that have not retreated…Hmm.. Lily what are you chomping on?”

He had only realised that Lily was still chewing on something as the sound of grating metal came from her mouth. As the latter heard Hao Ren’s question she let out a puzzled “Awoo?” before spitting the thing in her mouth out.

It was a traitor soldier in a torn armor and wounds all over.

The soldier was in a state so sorry it was beyond imagining. He had became Lily’s tooth grinder for a good ten odd minutes and his armor was pretty much given a total makeover with only bits and pieces of metal and cloth hanging on his body. The wounds and gnashes all over his body did not need to be further described, but yet, he was still alive, and looked perfectly intact. Even the gory wounds were nothing more than flesh wound.

The treacherous children had remade their body to be as tough as a werelwolf, and they have an even stronger set of magic and armor for protection, plus a whole set of bizzare trinkets that no one could identify it is was scientific or magical in nature. As the soldier had suffered the indignity of being chewing in a giant dog’s mouth for a good while, he was still in a daze after being spat out and struggled to stand. No one knew if the physical or the psychological wounds were more severe.

Yet Hao Ren did not care about this, he was elated and the first thing he did was to let the MDT smash into the poor sod’s head again to take him out. If Hao Ren was not wrong this was the second time the fellow was hit by the MDT in the head. As expected, the soldier grunted before falling unconcious, never finding out what actually knocked him out.

Hao Ren pulled out a droid and a bunch of restricting equipments before tying the traitor soldier like a ball of yarn. As an additionap precaution, Hao Ren had stuffed the poor sod into an crystal capsule meant for dangerous samples to prevent the soldier from self-destructing after regaining conciousness. Only then, did he patted Lily’s paws (the latter was just too massive, and with Hao Ren’s height, her paws was what he could manage.) “Good job!”

Lily grunted with a nod in acceptance of the praise before spitting out another item to the side. A ruined metallic boot.

Hao Ren saw many metallic bits and pieces still hanging between the giant husky’s teeth and reminded her. “Don’t change back yet, there’s a whole load of stuff stuck in your teeth. I’ll get the droids to give your teeth a brush later.”
