BXBX NOVEL Chapter 22: Attack on the Banquet [III]
Their brains could be se through their hair, and there were those with deformed eyes, others with small eyes, and others with huge eyes. Several parts of their bodies were robot prostheses, and there were ev people whose robot parts took up 90% of their bodies.
Theos unconsciously frowned at the sight of such a sce, ev though he had already read about it. Reading about something and seeing it are two completely differt things… Especially wh that thing is your new reality.
Holding the sword in his right hand, Theos took a fighting stance. \'Ev in my currt state, this won\'t be easy… And no one will be able to help me. Arnold and Alan must still fight. Eleanor and Nora, I have trusted you with saving the lives of most of the nobles\' Theos concluded, tighting his grip on his sword.
"Ark, fighting these guys alone is not a good idea," a voice with a bored tone sounded in the middle of the big battle that was forming.
Theos turned to find the smile of a woman who was beautiful in her own right, but whose blood on her face and worried eyes made her ev more beautiful in his eyes.
"Luna?" Theos asked wh he recognized her.
"The same," she smiled and approached him with her light steps.
Instead, the six figures attacked the duo that had formed, but a powerful wave of mana drove them back.
"You know what\'s going to happ, right? These guys are much more powerful than the other hooded ones, probably of middle rank, plus that fat guy who will wake up soon and be ev more powerful," Theos said, turning to face the emies.
"Th I\'ll help you as much as I can, I can\'t be of much use physically in this battle, but I\'m definitely still qualified, so at least I won\'t be a hindrance in this battle," Luna said from behind, looking at the young man\'s back, who suddly stopped wh he heard her words.
"Well, you can do whatever you want, I am not forcing you to help me… Your safety is my priority, ev if it doesn\'t seem like it." His voice, determined, made Luna shiver slightly, and she blushed.
She wanted to leave, she knew it would be a problem if he was a. But the curiosity to see how he dealt with the danger gnawed at her, so she decided to go back, and she didn\'t regret it.
Seeing the man who unleashed his power with total naturalness, defeating his emies as if they were ants, and facing the emy with indifferce, he ev seemed to joy it… That made her move for the first time in a long time.
Wh she saw the man walking away again, she decided to help him this time. She gathered mana in her hands and placed it on the g. In an instant, three shadows emerged from the ara: three shadow wolves, waiting patitly for their creator\'s command.
"Go to him," she said, and the three wolves immediately ran to meet Theos.
...
"The ritual is complete, now let the merging of the bodies begin," shouted one of the figures, and they all ran toward the corpse of the corpult man.
And as if the corpse itself reacted, it crawled closer to the six figures…. Or so it seemed.
"Death," as the Angel of Death, Theos, landed and crushed the body, which had previously be split in half and was now completely mangled by him.
"No… Nooooooo."
"Save him, we must save him," all those figures shouted over and over again, falling to their knees to try to save the body; unaware of the shadow of death slowly lurking.
"Die," he said, raising his sword. Theos, the shadow of death, made a slash, a final slash to kill them all at once, while the shadow wolves behind him also attacked to kill them in their momt of weakness…. Or so he tried.
Wh his slash and the wolves\' fangs touched the bodies of the subjects, their bodies began to deform and fall as if they were liquid, and the same robot pieces also fell and merged while the liquid in their bodies merged.
Such a sce caused the spectators to vomit, including Luna, who turned gre at the sight.
But Theos was unaffected. With a frown of disgust, he continued to watch the evts. \'I knew this would happ, but it is too disgusting to watch…\', Theos thought.
The process of combining the liquids was quick, and the liquid became mirror-like until it formed a humanoid body…. Or so it seemed.
The robotic parts stuck to the body, a creation that shouldn\'t ev be called human, not ev an animal…. It was an abomination! It had no fixed shape, it looked like a mass that didn\'t seem to be affected by gravity.
His small stature of .5 meters didn\'t help either: the robotic devices wer\'t ev properly attached to his body, but the robotic arms were attached to his back. The figure didn\'t ev have arms or eyes, just a lump of dough with two legs.
"Let\'s get this over with," Theos said, feeling disgusted and flying toward the emy again with his negative mana. Three Shadow Wolves followed beside him. As if in formation, Theos was in the lead, while the wolves flanked and stood below him, forming a perfect diamond formation.
"These wolves are too efficit… Thanks for the help," Theos thought as he slowed down to let the trio of wolves get ahead of him and attack the abomination, which hadn\'t moved an inch.
*Blow!*
Theos felt the wind rush past his face and immediately felt the pressure on his ribs and th the crash against the solid g. His head was spinning from the impact alone.
The Abomination had attacked.
