Chapter 314 - A Familiar Renewal Part Five (1/2)

After that, Fell mindlessly made his way to the top of the towering creature before standing on the soft fur covering its skull. He sat cross-legged next to Akainmhar's unconscious body before patting the red fur covering it.

The loud and heavy steps resumed as the creature began following the vehicle with unexpected agility. Its size didn't bother it as it had no difficulty following the squad of soldiers.

Soldiers that didn't stay unfazed in front of the strange scene. And without Fell's close presence, he had enough time for the rest of the journey to reassess and analyze the short, confusing conversation that happened.

Low mumble and mutter softly spread inside of the advancing vehicle, but Leove didn't do anything to stop them as his mind was filled with complex thought about the situation their city was in.

”Is he truly that strong?”, asked one of the man that controlled the drones. His hands fiddled with the sharps wings of the drone he had recovered earlier, a clear sign that the event had left him restless.

Leove looked at the man before turning behind, and pointed to the towering beast. ”The answer is laid right in front of your eyes.”, he added before continuing. ”Do you think we can even scratch that creature? Look at its thick fur, and otherworldly body.”

”Let alone take it down, do you think we can outdistance it with this vehicle?”, he ended. Clearly expressing that the mission they had been given was ended shortly due to Fell's presence. ”In front of him, that furred Godzilla is behaving in the same way a dog would in front of its master.”

The man's hand stopped fiddling with the drone, and his face turned white as he felt that fate had made him dodge a critical bullet. But nonetheless, his eyes continued looking at the dangerous creature with curiosity.

He only stopped looking when the gigantic eyeball jerked, and gazed at the direction of the car as though it was looking directly at him.

”Scary…”, he muttered as he thanked unknown gods that Fell had taken control of such strong creature. ”Isn't it going to escape his control?”, he added as his mind had turned blank when the orange colored pupil had lighted his mind in fire.

Leove laughed dryly, as he too had thought about such an event, but hadn't dared asked the young cultivator himself.

Sadly, in the ears of the scared man, that dry laugh was everything but an answer that gave him some sense of security.

The rest of the journey was spent with the strange setup. An original convoy of the squad's vehicle followed by the towering creature Fell mounted traversed the rest of the highway without facing any hurdle.

Ronnie closed his eyes the moment he regained his seat in the vehicle, and closed his eyes the moment his body landed on the leathery surface. He seemingly fell asleep as soon as he shut his eyes, with the other soldier following shortly behind him after looking outside of a few minutes. It was unknown to the rest if the two were tired due to the upgraded MechSuits, or simply because they had faced far too many events during the day.

Time passed quietly as the strange group made its way to the entrance of the Core. And before long, a dense and compacted steel jungle entered his eyes from the distances. Covering it was darks billowing clouds of dust and toxic waste that danced and warped in the same way small snakes would entangle themselves in packs.

”This is the Core…”, he muttered softly from the top of his red mount. ”Looks like I didn't come from the brightest world.”, he commented briskly with a wry smile before gazing at the shantytown with a discerning gaze.

”Looks like the inhabitant of the main district have been evacuated here.”, he mumbled as he felt that the town was far too little compared to the population of New Casablanca. ”Won't it be too cramped here?”, he added before feeling the stupidity of his thought.

Cramped or not, no one would care about that where your street were being flooded with dangerous creatures the size of a building. Nonetheless, those comments didn't undermine the long interest he had cultivated about his home town. And in fact, it was even the contrary as he couldn't understand how someone of his current strength had appeared from such depraved land.

His eyes moved from the spectacular shantytown in the distance, and landed on the unconscious body of the red haired man next to him. His eyes glowed, showing that he was in deep thought, and his mind worked as he tried remembering Akainmhar's word when they first met after his awakening.
