Chapter 118 - Giganto v2 (1/2)

Theoric reflexively put up his skin barrier as he was lifted off the ground by the unknown giant green scaled monster that had burst through the ground with a loud roar, standing at 60 feet tall, it's angry yellow eyes darting around at everyone before settling on the one trapped in its hand.

It then began to squeeze, trying to crush him to death.

Theoric not happy with being attacked by another creature would have been suspicious if it wasn't for Anna telling him back when they first met, about how they hunt her for her blood.

Theoric grunted as he felt the creature's squeeze begin to strain his barrier, calling out- ”A friend of yours Anna?”

Anna understanding his frustration was also beginning to question if this was normal, the strangest part was she didn't know what any of these creatures were,- ”I don't know!” she yelled back in defeat, she wasn't happy about not knowing something.

He quickly provided more energy to his barrier before it started to crack while attempting to communicate to the creature,- ”Is there something you want? Can you even speak?” He asked while trying to add more energy to open the hand and free himself, but the creature was no pushover as it held him in a death grip preventing him from adding any more energy as it all went to preventing it from cracking.

”Tell us what you want, there is no need for bloodshed,” he said in an attempt to speak with it one last time before things got ugly while trying to wiggle his arm into a better position so he could get enough leverage to push himself free.

Giganto only roared at him in response, bringing his other hand up, squeezing him with both hands now causing Theoric to gunt again in irritation as his efforts were backtracked thanks to the other hand.

Anna stepped up and took charge as she looked for any weak points in the scale armor- ”Io, aim for the eyes! Nina, Holland, go find cover, Sigyn, do what you can.” yelled Anna as she took out her mother's bow to help Io which she was holding onto until Nina who wanted nothing to do with it, asked for it back.

”I can help!” said Holland reluctant to leave.

Anna gave her a quick glance- ”Are you crazy, the monster may not be able to take your scream, but neither can we... You can be our secret weapon if things don't work out, but for now please stay back and let us take care of this.”

Holland liking the sound of being a secret weapon easily agreed, though she still wished she could help,- ”Come on Nina, let's go find cover.”

Nina seeing Anna wield her bow in order to help fight was feeling extremely conflicted at the moment as she let Holland drag her away.

Io and Anna released arrow after arrow at the Monster's eyes who squinted at first before he brought one of his hands back to help block the incoming projectiles. Sigyn in the meantime called upon her powers, a green aura enveloping her arms as she raised them, making the plants underneath the creature erupt out in a frenzied overgrowth, climbing up its legs.

Feeling its leg's becoming trapped, it made the mistake of trying to lift one and break out, only to trip and fall forward dropping Theoric.

Anna yelled- ”Good, Sigyn now's your chance to subdue it!”

Sigyn feeling extra motivated tried her best to wrap the creature up, but Giganto had other plans as he used his claws to easily move earth out of the way, quickly disappearing under the ground.

Anna- ”Damn, who would have thought it could move through the earth so easily with that size, be on your guard.”

Theoric first thought about taking to the skies, but seeing how happy Sigyn was to help, he thought of another solution- ”Sigyn, can you use your plant powers to tell us where he is?” he asked, delighted to see her unafraid and happy to help.
