Holistic Fantasy - Chapter 104

Chapter 104

While pursuing Kagetani, the civil defense officers used helicopters to survey the unexplored areas . Although Kagetani has made his escape, the civil defense officers who are putting their lives on the line by coming here still continued searching .

Rentaro and Enju are among the participants .

“I see…”

Rentaro listened to the news coming through his headphone and he bitterly laughed .

“So, Tokyo Area is done for?”

The other civil defense officers also heard the news from their superiors . They are starting to freak out with good reasons .

Even if they wanted to suppress this news, it would be impossible .

They lived and died on intel gathered on recent gastrea sightings or any relevant Gastrea details .

The Model Scorpion had a large mass and size . Nobody knew how many different strains from how many species are within that monster but a conservative estimate would put it at over a hundred if not over a thousand .

The beast isn’t exactly quiet either, anyone in Tokyo would have heard the monster by now .

The monster is already visible from the outer areas of Tokyo Area .

Now, Rentaro knew the stories about Stage 5s are not mere pufferies .

That’s one of the 11 zodiac Gastreas that almost caused an extinction event for humans .

As expected of a monster with such a size, its body and armor is way harder than steel . Varanium fields generated by monoliths are also ineffective at keeping the beast at bay . There are probably no more than 5 weapons that can stop this abomination .

Stage 5 Gastreas are also troublesome to deal with because of their regenerative powers .

There are different stages of regeneration in Gastrea monsters . Normal stage 1 Gastrea are easily dispatched with varanium weapons . Most Gastreas and initiators fall under this territory .

Then you have stage 2 regenerative powers that will allow the monster to resist varanium weapons to some extent, often requiring decapitation and immolation to effectively kill .

Stage 3 regenerative powers will allow said Gastrea to regenerate lost parts given enough time . After that, you have stage 4 regenerative powers that make Gastreas effectively immortal outside of extensive and severe trauma bordering on complete destruction of the body to kill .

Is there any Gastrea out there with Stage 5 regenerative powers? Nobody knows .

Theoretically, a Gastrea with stage 5 regeneration can survive being thrown into lava, frozen in the deep arctic, and possibly regeneration on the molecular level .

With present technology, there is no way of killing such a monster should it exist .

Luckily for them, Mode Scorpio didn’t have stage 5 or 4 regeneration . By observation, it’s also clear that mere varanium weapons are not enough to bring it down . Otherwise, everyone would simply pump varanium bullets into it until it fell .

Model Scorpio’s regeneration is probably at stage 2 or stage 3, showing significant resistance towards varanium weapons .

Enju looked anxious . She kept her eyes on the towering giant .

Rentaro didn’t answer, he didn’t know what to say .

Somebody answered for him .

“Isn’t it obvious?”

Someone tapped Rentaro’s shoulder .

“We kill the bastard . ”

Rentaro and Enju are surprised by the voice . But they are assured that with this guy here, nothing can faze them .

“Guildmaster!”

Enju glomped Noah .

“Noah!”

Rentaro released a sigh of relief . While calming down Enju who is bawling for some reason, Noah smiled at Rentaro .

“Well then, shall we go save the world?”

“S-saving the world…”

Rentaro’s hands trembled .

Rentaro forced himself to show a fearless smile .

“If you’ve got a plan, I don’t mind walking some free hours…”

Noah slapped Rentaro’s back and he eyed the opponent they are facing .

===

Whoop whoop whoop

The military chopper carried Noah who is now finally able to take in the full appearance of Model Scorpion .

The pilot, Rentaro yelled out loud .

“Is this distance okay?”

“Yeap!”

Noah’s bangs fluttered from the strong winds .

“Time to do my part!”

“Guildmaster!”

Enju cheered out loud .

“Good luck, if it’s guildmaster, the model scorpion will be dead by sundown . ”

Noah didn’t reply, the corners of his lips raised as he stared at Model Scorpion .

“Uoooo—!!”

Roaring, its voice took on a physical form and radiated outwards like a shockwave .

Noah drew his gun and he slid his finger across the barrel .

“I didn’t expect to use you so soon…”

Noah called forth the ocean of mana sleeping in him . Like a broken dam, the power surged into his arm and he infused some of it into the gun .

If anyone disassembled his gun, they would find runes scribbled inside the gun barrel . The arcane runes also match the muzzle in size as it spun mysteriously .

Noah used his magic to conjure the magic formations .

Clack

Noah aimed the gun at Model Scorpion, being a huge monster meant it would be easy for Noah to hit even from a distance . As soon as his target is acquired, a glint of light flashed in his eyes .

“Get fucked crushed… . ”

He pulled the trigger .

Bam

The gun emitted a deafening sound .

He unleashed the magic he had infused into the gun, the bullet which transformed into a deadly pillar of light made its way towards the target like an unstoppable force of nature .

Everyone who is looking at the monster spotted a stream of light shooting across the sky, like a beautiful comet, the attack struck Model Scorpion .

The light pillar didn’t stop there, once it hit the target, it exploded in a brilliant light show that lit up the sky .

“Buooo—!”

Lines appeared on model scorpion before it crumbled into blocks of meat .

Rumble

Like a collapsing hill, the monster got crushed .

This scene of a human, thousands of times smaller than the entity of destruction, bringing down a symbol of fear and despair would be forever etched into the minds of Rentaro, Enju, Seitenshi who is watching from her screen far away .

The figure who did all this stood there against the wind, nobody knew what he thought but he looked larger than life to anyone who saw his figure .
