The Record of Unusual Creature

Just as Muru had explained, the treacherous children used myriad of ways to try to attain godhood, this unholy ardor had caused them to keep changing their actions to mimic the image of ‘god’ in their minds. For mortals, the image of ‘god’ is often the perfect being, the being personified, without flaws, yet similar to their origins. This pursuit had led them to tinker with their genetic code to change their appearance, while donning expensive and ritualistic armor, yet the change in outer appearance did nothing to change their core. They were merely a mortal race that had immense power, yet they were more barbaric than most mortal races.

They attacked the guardian’s temple without reservation. With a posture akin to the gods they struck the place, but their motives were selfish. A dozen crimson robed traitors were flying in the air, using magic and weaponry to conjure thunderbolts to assault the guardian before the gate. The leading warrior even yelled. “Give up your futile struggle! This place has fallen. Give the thing to us, and we will spare both your lives.”

The guardian giant raised his battle staff as he flung a lightning whip towards the foe, as his grey hair rose into the air, he roared defiantly. “I refuse!”

Two of the traitor soldiers deployed a magical barrier to block the lightning whip while the rest charged forward for the kill. They had never expected the stubborn guardian to take a step back, they were simply looking for an opportunity to press the attack.

With the disadvantage in numbers, the massive giant was like being swarmed with a swarm of wasp with a killing intent, and could only just barely fend them off. He deployed a large medical barrier in his attempt to protect the temple, but this results in weakening his own defense. The traitor soldiers thought this was an opening and ran headlong towards the giant’s arms and his less protected underarm. A traitor using a cackling twin-headed spear was leading the pack as he tried to pierce the guardian’s heart with a malicious thrust, but just as he raised his spear, a blue-white beam blasted out from the side, and the traitor could not react in time and was struck dead on. A squirm later he disintegrated into a cloud of crystal dust.

Both sides were stunned by this turn of events and all turn towards the source of the attack. They only saw a gigantic white beast charging out from a corner of the temple, while a little ‘human’ stood on its head wielding a spear and a pistol. Following right behind was a ferocious demon clad in molten lava, and another guardian giant.

“Brother, stand strong!” Muru shouted towards the guardian before the temple as he raised his staff and launched a plasma bolt towards the airborne enemy. “For Mother!”

The sudden appearance of a third force thrown both the defending guardian and the traitors into confusion. When Hao Ren and Lily first appeared, all of them thought that they were reinforcements of the enemy, but as Muru showed up the situation had changed, the guardian before the temple rallied while the traitor soldiers were shaken. Hao Ren took the chance and blasted out two more psionic bolt!

A “BLAM!” rang out and a traitor soldier could not avoid the shot was hit. Even it was just a mere graze, he was immediately turned into a cloud of dust by the psionic corrosion. Another soldier had already witnessed the power of the beam and before Hao Ren could aim he had already darted to the side, and the psionic bolt hit a minaret some distance away, turning it into a pile of collapsing rock.

The leader of the squad quickly recovered from the initial shock and after determining the number of attacks, he immediately called for his men to counter attack. “Do not fret! We have the advantage in numbers! They are nothing but fodder!”

Under the command of the leader, a few of the traitors continued their assault on the guardian while the rest turned towards Hao Ren in mad rush. They rapidly changed position midair, and even using teleportation abilities to hide. This was to avoid getting hit by the fatal blue bolt, and this was proving effective because Hao Ren could not even aim properly.

So he gave up on that and immediately pulled out a crate of graviton grenades and started lobbing it in their general direction.

With the piercing shriek of the dimensional collapse when the graviton grenades went critical, the battle reached its climax.

Bright blue thunderbolts criss-crossed the air and left the scorch marks everywhere. The wannabe-gods swung their weapons midair as they started their assault. Magical bombardment and weapon fire followed soon after. A massive traitor with a red-hot battle axe charged towards the most-bizzare looking combatant, Y’zaks as he roared. “I shall…”

Y’zaks opened his arms as if to wlecome the attack, but just as the axe was about to land the demon struck. This veteran demon easily picked off the axe from the enemy with a flick of his finger as he used the other hand to grab the enemy into his chest. As the puny traitor struggled in his arms, the demon let out a bone-chilling laugh as molten lava and demonic flame gushed out of his chest. The traitor soldier was caught right smack in the middle of a walking inferno and as the demon flames corroded his shield. Before long, molten lava and demon flame consumed the poor sod in a feast of fire and brimstone.

The demon then released his hand, before charred humanoid corpse fell onto the ground. He spat a ball of fire at the burnt corpse. “And you think to judge me under WHOSE name?”

The pathetic end of one of their comrades and the unorthodox fighting style rattled the rest of the traitors, and they immediately turned their attention towards Hao Ren and Lily. This time around, Hao Ren did not need to yell “F*ckface!” to draw aggro. He then raised his spear to brace for the attack. After a few fights together, Hao Ren was now in sync with Lily’s giant husky form and did not need any words to unleash the hound knight’s full ability. Lily darted menacingly towards the approaching enemy as Hao Ren let out a few shots to those pesky flying enemies. With both ranges covered, this combination was perfect.

A traitor wielding twin blades thought he had found this weird knight’s weak spot. As his comrades drew Hao Ren’s attention he had snuck his way to the back to attack the two from the rear. This was both Hao Ren and Lily’s blind spot, and even if it was not, they would be hard pressed to defend against a rear attack with them already so pre-occupied.

The twin-bladed soldier had lightning cackling all over him as he struck downwards like a meteor, his blades pointed towards the back of Hao Ren’s neck. A smirk curled upon his lips as he felt that his sneak attack would be successful.

Just as he was about to strike, a blue light shot out of Lily’s thick fur, and within the blue light was a shiny silvery solid object that smashed into the attacker’s face as it screeched. “F*ckface! I was waiting for you within the dog’s fur for a good part of the day!”

The twin-bladed attacker felt like his head was smashed by a cannonball and dropped out of midair. Hao Ren immediately turned back and gave the poor sod a back kick for his efforts. “Lily, turn around!”

As the attack was send flying he quickly tried to readjust his balance. And just as he thought he was out of danger, a massive blood-thirsty jaw appeared before him. Everything immediately turned black before finding himself in a dark, and warm place before rows upon rows of sharp teeth started chewing on him voraciously.

Lily subconciously chomped on the enemy that was sent flying with Hao Ren’s kick. And while she was not man-eating, after understanding what she had bitten, the husky starting gnawing. It had that wonderful sensation of teeth grinding. The fully armored soldier was a tough nut to crack, so Lily was chewing on rather labourously, her face tightened as she used her jaw strength to keep chewing, and the sound of metal tearing and screams of fear could be heard from her mouth.

The treacherous children does indeed come equipped with overwhelming powers, but their god-slaying prowess were all down to dirty schemes and specialised weapons. Thus their weapons had little to no effect against Hao Ren and his crew, and under this situation, their numbers were quickly reduced.

The commander had earlier proclaimed that they had the numbers advantage with confidence, but that confidence quickly went away as he realised his men were being slaughtered one by one. Y’zaks nonchalantly threw a charred corpse before him. “This was your numbers advantage.”

Seems like only the commander was left, and Hao Ren immediately dropped an order via the communicator. “Take him alive.”

The commander reacted rather panicky but there was no fear in his face, after confirming that all his men were dead. He raised his weapon up high and roared. “The promised land shall come!”

Thereafter his body was engulfed with a blinding white light.
