Chapter 736 My vow to you. [1/2]
I couldn't help but swallow in nervousness. Not because I was afraid. There were just somethings man naturally found overwhelming. And right now, I was experiencing just that.
"AOOOOOOOOOOOOH" with their mouths no longer munching on dirt and Earth, the loud and drawn-out cries of the Rank A Tunneling Worms resounded.
Three of them broke out of the ground a few miles away from us. But they didn't leave the ground and instead bent their bodies towards us. They probably intended to use the ground as some sort of anchor and a means of escape.
While Lilly took care of the first one who tried to eat us, she and Jas remained silent as the trio now came closer. The ones beside me all grew more frantic the closer the Rank A's got. I of course was focus on something else instead.
Specifically on the change in appearance of my Wifey. Jas upon ascending to level 6 now had a extremely large eye on her forehead. The indigo-colored iris was the size of a palm. It made the Ebony Deathstalker look like a monster from Hellsgate.
'Exa…'
[I do not know my lord. The only assumption I could make is that this is a trait of Lady Jas as a Reaper affiliated with Africa. As you know their combat style involves soul forms.]
I tried to remember what Exa showed me about African Reapers.

_________________________
Previously among the Siren's only Jas didn't fit the molds of the Battlefronts.
Lilly a part of North America fought by breaking the laws of the universe.
Bella's {fate} seemed geared towards numbers as befitting of someone from South America.
Liv gained physical resilience in exchange for pain which was standard for Northerners and their curses.
Robyn an Australian slowly lost her martial ability in exchange for strengthening her {fates}.
Aki who hailed from Asia buffed herself with {Eat}, keeping step with her continent's combat style.
Jo much like the rest of Europe was haunted by Vela who shared her wisdom and strength.
If Jasmine really manifested her third eye as her soulform, what was she supposed to be? Before I could come to an answer, the men with us began to get rowdy.
"SON! Let's move!" "Why aren't the ladies doing anything?!" "PLEASE DO THAT MAGIC THING! NOW!" "COME ON! DO SOMETHING!"
I was fine with their bitching but then one of George's people tried to approach Lilly. Both of my girls seemed to be in a trance and were frozen on the spot. Thus neither could defend themselves if someone tried to grab them. As their {Kindred} there was no way I would be fine with this.
'{Blink}.'
Quickly swinging the M134 into their direction, I grasped my weapon's joystick handle and pressed the trigger switch with my thumb. In response, the six 22-inch barrels began to spin. I placed my index finger on the fire control trigger before I grunted out my one and final warning.
"Get away from my women or I will slaughter you all. I will only say this once."
A M134D minigun has two triggers, one on that made the gun spin, and the second one that actually fires the bullets. It was designed that you needed to press both ensure the gun operated. The moment I squeezed my index finger 7.62 NATO would begin shredding the Reapers in front of me.
George and his friend quickly restrained the one who tried to grab Lilly. I nodded and removed my fingers from both of the triggers. I then looked towards the Rank A's rushing towards us.
It wasn't like I couldn't relate to them. How would you feel if suddenly three ugly looking monsters suddenly raced to bite your face off? Due to their sheer size, it was as if three meteors the size of the moon fell from the sky.
The sheer magnitude of the monsters completely blotted out all light even those from the Sacreds. Such an intimidating sight would be enough to make anyone piss their pants. I was worried they might try to harm Lilly or Jas out of desperation, but they instead began to vent their frustrations out loud.
"UGHEK!" "FUCK! WE'RE GOING TO DIE!" "BISON! I LOVE YOU MAN!" "IF I EVER LIVE THROUGH THIS, I AM GOING TO BUY A BROTHEL AND FUCK LIKE MY LIFE DEPENDED ON IT!" "Sigh, guess I had a good run." "Let's just get this over with."
George's party as always was full of colorful language. In the face of our impending demise, their emotions were all over the place. Surprise, fear, regret, acceptance, resignation to even impatience. I couldn't blame them; I didn't even bother raise my gun.
For one, it was because even though I held the mighty M134 Minigun, it was nothing more than a peashooter to a Tunneling Worm. And that was before the fact that there were three of them. But I wasn't afraid.
That was simply because Jas and Lilly were beside me. Although they seemed to be focusing on something else at the moment. While most would be terrified out of their wits, I took a deep breath and tried to put the minds of the others at ease.
"Calm down you all. We are not going to die," I advised.
"How can you be so confident, son? Don't you see that?" George retorted as he pointed to what was coming.
'Because I trust my {Kindred}.'
Even though, I answered in my mind, I didn't bother replying out loud and just waited. While the Worms would not be cause for concern, the farther we were from Juno and the Awakened, the more we would be targeted.
'Exa, has Pixie found Bifrons yet?'
[She has a general direction. According to her {Fate}, he is still on the floor and is quite close by.]
Interesting, so he hasn't chosen to run? Was it because I kept insulting him earlier? If he developed a grudge against me, we could use his own pride to keep him here. A fearful scream called me back from my contemplation.
"AGGGGHHHHHH! THEY'RE HERE!"
I looked up at their shouts only to see a Tunneling Worm's face just less than a mile away. It opened its petal like limbs and displayed what looked like a million teeth that decorated the entirety of its round mouth. The clicking sound of teeth scraping together by the millions filled the air.@@novelbin@@
However, before it could come reach us, my Princess triumphantly shouted for everyone to hear.
"BEGONE YOU OVERGROWN MAGGOT! {GATE}!"
"Tsk, stop grandstanding and get to work, two more incoming," Jas quickly added.
Like invisible walls, extremely large {Gates} appeared in front of the three monsters. Due to their speed the Rank As hardly had any time to stop. Helplessly the exposed part of their large bodies entered the doorways.
However, what came next was beyond my wildest dreams.
"They do not seem to wish to pass, don't they?" Lilly asked obviously delighted.
"Mmm. They won't. Husband, please cover our group with a soulcage, quickly."
Although I didn't understand why, I complied. I expended some souls and created a simple soulcage that covered my girls, George's ground and I like a dome.
"Fufu, I might grow addicted to this. Marvel at my glory, Dearest!"
The princess of North America then snapped her finger. In the same moment the large {Gates} suddenly closed. This was while half of the bodies of the Rank As were still in them.
"W-What?" I stammered.
When the {Gates} disappeared the worm's bodies were all cleanly severed! Like chopped by a butcher, the outer halves of three Rank As fell lifelessly to the ground.
"…"
It was a feat that would dumbfound anyone. The massive crashes that made the ground shake caused everyone present marvel in awe. Whether it be friend or foe, the entire battlefield turned silent. This was all because of the presence of one woman. One Specter.
Capable of power that dwarfed even a hundred Phantoms, Lilly Browning my {Kindred} joined the ranks of the power houses. And her ascension could not have had a bigger stage.
What were Tunneling Worms? They were gigantic beasts that were the equivalent of cataclysms made of flesh and muscle. They trampled and ravaged the Vampire army that would have broken North America with ease.
Impervious to all the fire power at my disposal, I called them here betting on their tyrannical nature. And true enough they were unstoppable and monstrous. But now three of them laid dead at my feet.
Although their bottom halves were still hidden underground their severed ends no longer moved. A frightening amount of soul rose to the air. The feeling was refreshing similar to the cleansing breeze from the battlefront's receiving area.
What do you think?
