Indescribable Monster
At the foot of the mountain, in the desert.
White Walker and The Vermin were wiping out the Fish-Men below.
White Walker continuously swung the greatsword in his hand. "Come on, come on, I can still take on ten thousand more!" He roared, his voice echoing through the desolate landscape.
His sword flashed. Every monster it hit would freeze for a short period.
Then, a Priest appeared. But this Priest didn't summon any monsters. Instead, countless Priests pointed their coral scepters at him and started chanting an incantation.
A pillar of light erupted from the Priest. His muscles bulged, and he snapped his own scepter.
"I am the Priest of Roars!" He bellowed, his voice a thunderous roar that shook the very ground.
The Priest of Roars stomped his foot and charged forward, punching White Walker!
White Walker quickly raised his sword to block, but the sword was smashed in half by the Priest's punch!
What?!
White Walker was stunned, his eyes wide with disbelief. The sheer force of the blow vibrated through his arms, a stinging pain shooting up his shoulder.
The Priest grinned ferociously, kicking White Walker in the waist!
Bang!
A terrifying force hit White Walker, sending him flying!
Blood sprayed from his mouth. White Walker tumbled through the air and landed on the sand.
"Cough, cough… splat… my ribs… my ribs…" He gasped, clutching his side, his face contorted in pain.
White Walker quickly took out an adrenaline shot and injected it into himself.
The Priest grinned and walked forward. He saw cold air emanating from White Walker's body. "Hm?"
"I didn't want to do this so early."
White Walker said, standing up. The Priest frowned.
The punch he'd just thrown froze in place.
White Walker stepped forward and grabbed the Priest of Roars by the head.
"Shatter."
Bang!
The Priest's head exploded, turning into snowflakes.
Then, White Walker leaped into the air. But after taking two steps, he fell to the ground.
"Damn, this damned place!"
The water content in the desert air was too low. White Walker couldn't use the moisture in the environment to walk on air.
"Then I'll just walk!"
White Walker charged forward. All the Fish-Men he passed were frozen solid.
But his ability could only last for half an hour. He had to maximize its effect during this time.
…
The Vermin watched White Walker running up the mountain. He didn't follow, but turned to look at a Priest behind him.
The Priest slapped the sand. "Sandworms, tear him apart!"
Countless giant Sandworms emerged from the ground. They were like worms, covered in sharp sawtooth-shaped suckers.
The Vermin extended his right arm. His arm twisted rapidly and transformed into a giant centipede!
The moment the Sandworms emerged, his centipede arm instantly wrapped around them, crushing them into pieces.
"These things are useless, why don't you try something new?" The Vermin said, his voice a low, chilling hiss.
...
On the helicopter.
Zero was observing the situation below through a drone.
"A large mountain appeared in the center of the Eye of the Sahara. This mountain shouldn't be here. Clearly, someone moved it here."
"Moving mountains and filling seas… only something massive would have that kind of power."
"And until now, that thing hasn't appeared. What is it waiting for?" He muttered, a knot of unease tightening in his stomach.
At that moment, a face appeared on a nearby screen.
"Chief, the latest survey results are out. The place we're looking for is under that mountain. But there's an enormous creature on top of the mountain!"
On the mountain?
Could it be…
"No good! Quickly! Everyone, retreat from the mountain immediately!" He barked into the communicator, his voice sharp with urgency. The pieces were falling into place, and the picture they formed was not a good one.
As everyone was fighting the monsters, the mountain beneath them suddenly trembled. Rocks began to crack!
The earth shook and the mountains swayed. This reminded everyone of one thing!
The massive monster they'd been guessing about was most likely right beneath them!
Boom!!
With a deafening roar, a giant monster burst forth from the mountain!
The entire mountain crumbled at this moment. Those who couldn't retreat in time, along with the Fish-Men, were buried under giant boulders!
And at this moment, they finally saw the whole thing!
It was a massive, indescribable sea monster!
The surviving Kitsune soldiers and the Guinea Pigs were instantly driven mad at the sight of the monster!
They either babbled incoherently, harmed themselves, or pointed their guns at their own heads and pulled the trigger!
Even Zero was stunned. It took him a long time to react.
"Mental contamination!"
If he hadn't trained his mental strength, that one glance would've been enough to drive him completely insane!
"How are the others?!" He barked into the communicator, his voice tight with urgency.
...
Under the rubble, Arthur used throwing knives to support a small area, protecting himself and Fan Ye. But the two were still trapped.
"010, 013, barely alive…" Zero's voice was grim as he assessed the situation. The casualties were mounting, and the situation was looking increasingly dire.
Their situation was relatively optimistic, but White Walker wasn't so lucky.
He'd frozen a group of corpses and placed them on top and around him, forming a barrier.
But he was covered by rocks. This was very bad.
Because his ability had a time limit.
Once the time was up, the motionless corpses would cause the rocks to collapse, crushing him and the corpses into meat patties!
"016's situation is critical. Requesting backup!" His panicked voice crackled through the radio. He was trapped, and time was running out.
Only these three responded to Zero.
Because Balance, in a moment of desperation, pulled himself and Swordsmith into the Eight Trigrams space.
Now, the two were trapped inside. Two critical issues were troubling them.
The Ancient Ones trapped in the Eight Trigrams space. They were in the center, and they didn't know how to get out. They lumbered around, their tentacles flailing, their many eyes blinking in confusion.
And the two old men had just entered.
"So, the question is, how do we get out of your space?" Swordsmith asked, his voice surprisingly calm amidst the chaos. He adjusted his glasses, a thoughtful frown on his face.
"Good question. Don't ask again," Balance replied.
...
The only one who escaped the mountain's collapse was Celestial Beast.
He'd sensed Chino and charged at him, leaping over the falling rocks!
But Chino caught Celestial Beast like a chicken. "What a pathetic creature. Just as pathetic as your appearance." He rumbled, his voice a low, chilling growl that echoed through the desert.
Then, Chino squeezed his hand.
Splat!
Blood erupted from his palm.
But the blood was his.
Chino's hand exploded. Celestial Beast broke free and landed on the desert sand, his body shaking from the force of the impact. He looked up at Chino, his eyes narrowed, a low growl rumbling in his chest. He wouldn't be so easily subdued.
Chino stepped out of the rubble, the countless tentacles on his hand writhing and closing his wounds.
"To possess such explosive power without amulets… Impressive. It seems I should take back what I said," Chino muttered.
Celestial Beast snarled at Chino, thorns erupting from his body. He'd entered hunting mode, completely losing his mind!
He lunged at Chino again, but Chino slapped him to the ground!
Bang!
Seeing this, Zero's eyes narrowed.
"Right Hand, prepare…" He spoke into the communicator, his voice low and urgent. It was time to deploy their trump card.
"Chief."
At this moment, a familiar voice came from the radio.
"Who is it?"
"The Vermin." The voice was smooth, almost too calm for the chaotic situation.
"I think I've found the exact location of the seal. Have the Right Hand hold that monster back. I'll get the Trident and seal it." His words were confident, almost arrogant.
Zero frowned. "Are you alright?" He was surprised to hear from The Vermin. He'd assumed he'd been caught in the mountain's collapse.
"I didn't go up the mountain, so of course I'm fine."
