Giant of Light: I am the Old Ones

Chapter 16 The first transformation

"I'm afraid we have to break into people's homes. We have to go in and see what people are doing and whether they are still in their own homes."

Turner, who spoke the least, said helplessly that although they were timid, they did not want their compatriots to suffer misfortune.

Pearson looked at Blake and whispered: "How can you call it a break-in when the police chief is here?"

Blake decided to enter the residents' houses to check the situation. The land outside the buildings was too normal, without any blood stains left by the fighting or the advance of the ghouls.

Davis said in a sharp voice: "No, no, I have to stay here. I will wait for you in the middle of the square. If someone comes out or is in danger, I can still call for help in time."

He really didn't want to enter a building that might be lurking in danger. Anyway, looking up now, he could look around from the square and there was no danger. Moreover, the sun was high, and behind those gloomy doors, it obviously looked uncomfortable.

Blake agreed with Davis's idea of ​​staying in the square and looked at Amanda:
"Little Amanda, why don't you stay in the square?"

The throbbing feeling in Amanda's heart slowly subsided, and she shook her head and said:

"No, Chief Black, I think I'd better go with you."

Blake gave Pierson a pistol and asked Amanda to get two axes thrown on the ground from the edge of the square for chopping firewood.

This kind of ax is small and is also used by women. Because men are usually not at home, it is not too difficult for Amanda to use it.

The four of them slowly walked towards the first household. When Daniels drove the carriage past here yesterday, Amanda and the others had not seen anyone here in the carriage.

Speaking of which, even Blake himself could not remember the names of all the residents in the remote area clearly. He walked to the first door and knocked:
"Excuse me ma'am, I'm Sheriff Black, please open the door!"

no respond.

"We will enter your residence in five seconds. This is to confirm the existence of certain dangers and protect the lives and properties of the townspeople."

Blake spoke very skillfully, counted silently for five seconds, and pushed open the small door that was only blocked by a sleeper.

There was a creak and the sun shone in.

On the innermost wooden bed, the quilt and shoes on the floor were scattered.

But the bed was empty.

Amanda felt something in her heart and turned back suddenly to look at the center of the square.

Davis, who was left there, was actually floating in the air, as if he had been lifted up by something.

He waved his arms weakly, his face flushed, and he didn't make any sound.

Then under Amanda's gaze, his body gradually disappeared, as if it had been swallowed by something.

"Chief Black! In the middle of the square!"

Amanda yelled, realizing an invisible monster was nearby.

And that monster is likely to be able to hide its aura greatly while hiding its body, and there is not even any trace of flesh and blood left by preying on humans.

No wonder everything seemed normal except that they didn't see anyone in the town.

When Amanda reminded him loudly, Sheriff Black turned around, and finally saw that the area above Davis' neck was "disappeared."

Amanda seemed to feel that her vision was drawn closer at that moment, and she saw extremely indifferent trampling marks on the ground.

He subconsciously rushed to the square and threw the ax in his hand.

Chief Black's reaction was a bit slow. In fact, it was not that he was slow, but that Amanda's movements just now were too fast.

The next moment the ax was stuck in the air, the tip of the ax disappeared, but bright red blood flowed from the ax body.

Then something huge seemed to sweep across, and the blood stains disappeared before they could flow on the ground, as if they were being licked.

But as the blood continued to flow out, Black and others were able to confirm the location of the monster.

He fired first, and Pierson hesitated, but followed suit.

As the bullets hit, more and more blood flowed from the transparent position, and the monster's figure gradually emerged.

However, when this horrific scene appeared, Blake's people felt extremely ridiculous.

As if they shouldn't attack this monster, can't see the truth of that monster.

Under the warm sunshine of the morning, in the clean and tidy square, a tall, bloated figure slowly appeared.

It had no head and stretched from its neck to the left side of its abdomen, tearing a huge hole.

The edge of the wound was not a wound, but more like the mouth of a creature. A huge tongue stretched out, rolling hastily, licking the parts of the body that were hit by the bullet.

The right side of the abdomen seemed to correspond to both the throat and the stomach. It expanded into a bulge more than two meters wide and one meter high. Under the belly, it was vaguely visible that there were dozens of human bodies piled together in various postures.

Those were obviously the humans who were attacked and eaten last night.

"Cough-cough-!"

Because of the violent movements of its tongue, the monster had no choice but to spit out the Davis it had just swallowed.

The latter was lucky. The huge canines growing on the edge of the mouth were not used for chewing and cutting. He just covered his neck and gasped violently on the ground. His clothes were wrapped in disgusting mucus, but he was still alive at least.

Blake was changing the magazine while approaching. Pearson seemed to be getting more and more courageous. When the monster's body retreated, he ran to Davis and pulled it back.

The latter was panting and couldn't even say a word for a long time.

However, the bullets soon ran out, and Sheriff Black had to admit that their pistol shots only caused some painful skin wounds to the monster, rather than fatal injuries.

In the previous shooting, he had tried his best to hit the monster's heart and even the neck port without a head, but none of them caused fatal injuries.

After Davis was spit out, his last few bullets were shot in the abdomen, still only causing a few bleeding wounds.

The monster's actions did not receive any obvious impact.

After the latter appeared in the sun, those ugly stretched skin wounds were visible to the naked eye and recovered as before after being licked by the giant tongue.

The ax thrown by Amanda also bounced out, no longer constrained.

After staggering a few steps, this monster with extremely unbalanced body parts roared from the waist and strode towards Blake.

During this process, starting from the legs, the monster's body gradually became invisible again!

"Run! Find an open flame. There is firewood nearby. We may have to burn it!"

Although Blake's body instinctively felt fear, he quickly thought of the next way to deal with it.

In his memory, fire was the best way to deal with the monsters summoned by the evil priests of the cultists.

Amanda felt that his mind was very clear at this time, and there was no feeling at all that when he faced the Wendigo, he used the power of Omega to burn his brain out.

He stared closely at the monster that was about to disappear completely, and his chest covered by clothes shone with a faint blue light.

The object called the Spark Prism materialized in his hands without anyone noticing.

Omega called out: "Amanda, we can't become giant now, but we can use some of the abilities I generated based on your memory."

Amanda nodded heavily and pressed the switch of the spark prism.
