Chapter 104: Betrayal & Weakness!!

Chapter 104: Betrayal & Weakness!!

As the Paru Devoured the fallen Cryllo, Liz’s eye caught something.

Her hand swiftly moved to the bag of weapons and,

Pierce- Pierce-

“Here you go.” Liz said as she lifted two lifeless rat-like Visero from the ground. She pulled the throwing knives out of their bodies, before handing them to the Paru.

Chew- Gulp-

“I didn’t expect to be fed.”

Liz didn’t answer. She was in no mood to talk or joke around.

“A Giganto Zilla attacked us. That’s how we lost most of our people. The Tsero protecting the Tsero Crystals also took many of us. Those two will be the main problems. If it weren’t for those two Species of Visero, we wouldn’t need your help.” Liz said calmly as she replaced the throwing knives into one of the bags.

“I’ve already helped though.” The Paru grumbled, already regretting his choice to talk.

“I couldn’t do much on Tyl. Well, I didn’t have to. But I’m pretty good at what I do. How much more before you become… Immune to it, as you said?”

The Paru shrugged.

“You can’t become mute again.”

“I don’t know. The Crystals are different.”

“And you need many of the exact same type.”

“Yes. Preferable, many of every type.”

“So I’ll have to babysit you.” The muscular Soldier said as she crossed her arms.

“I wouldn’t mind.”

“Ugh… Why didn’t you talk before? Why now-”

“Shh!” The Paru placed his index finger vertically against his mouth.

Liz immediately lowered her body as she scanned around the area.

Around them were numerous structures of Crystals, some reaching heights equal to Liz’s height.

The next second,

Zap- Growl- Zap!

Cryna Hurna!

Six hyena-like Visero had suddenly appeared from beyond the structures, standing in a half-circle.

Four of them moved right away while two hung back.

Once the enemies made their move, those two would then attack!

As the Visero launched themselves towards them, both Liz and the Paru extended their arms at the same time!

Spiderweb Production-

Throw- Throw-

The two that had jumped at the Paru immediately lost their vision as their eyes were covered by the webs, while those that had jumped towards Liz lost an eye each, pierced by her throwing knives!

While they remained airborne, the Paru took hold of their skulls and slammed them against the ground with all his strength, causing them to bleed slightly. Meanwhile, Liz had jumped back and taken aim!

Bang- Bang-

Both shots hit, but both missed the vital spots she had aimed for.

Leaving the ones he had knocked against the ground, he quickly propelled himself towards those aiming for Liz, and one punch launched the one closest to him away, causing it to collide with the other.

The two that had been hanging back found an opening and aimed for the Paru’s neck!

But before they could get there,

Bang-

A headshot.

The other one’s gaze moved in Liz’s direction, but it was already too late by then!

Smoke exited the end of her machete-like mechanical weapon as it was swung, immediately splitting that Cryna Hurna’s skull!

From that position, she pulled on her gun’s trigger, causing the bullet to move straight down.

Her machete-like weapon was also lowered vertically.

Both of the Cryna Hurna that the Paru had stunned earlier had been defeated.

“Done?” Liz asked without turning towards him.

“Yes.” The Paru answered, holding the two lifeless Cryna Hurna that had attacked Liz by the neck.

“Do you want me to look away? While you… Eat?” She asked while placing her weapons back inside the bag.

“Uh… Sure.”

Liz scratched her head as she turned towards him.

“Why didn’t you talk all this time?”

The Paru hadn’t found a good excuse for that yet.

He Devoured the lifeless Cryna Hurna silently.

No matter how smart a dog is, you won’t tell it to wear pants… Until it’s able to talk. It’s at that point that it becomes weird.

The Paru couldn’t give such a stupid reason as an excuse or explanation… Despite it being pretty much the truth.

“Were you acting dumb on purpose when I was teaching you how to wear pants?”

The Paru refused to answer that as well.

Sigh-

“As you can see, I’m not as good a shot as the Commander. Her aim is more precise and quicker than mine. She can aim more quickly and more precisely at the same time… I can’t pull off the shots that she can with sniper rifles. Her accuracy is also why weapons that shoot Plasma are, normally, exclusively used by her. Well, ever since we’ve been low on fuel.”

‘She’s usually the quiet kind… Is she talking because we’re on a mission as Soldiers?’

“I’m not as good a shot, but when it comes to the rest, like hand-to-hand combat, athletics, or proficiency with diverse weapons, I’d like to think that I’m better.”

‘Is she bragging or just telling me?’

[You have Developed the Skill “Slight Lightning Resistance”.]

“Your skin… Looks a bit different.”

The Paru pushed himself off the ground, having finished his meal.

He had eaten as cleanly as he could, trying his best not to get blood everywhere. Firstly, because it was wasted genes. Secondly, because a lady was close.

“You can tell?”

“Barely.”

The Paru chuckled.

“Yes, more is needed.”

Liz didn’t laugh.

“It’s a betrayal, you know? What you did. We’re supposed to be-”

“Ha?” The Paru furrowed his brows. “We’re supposed to be… What?”

Liz stared at him defiantly. It was a betrayal. Acting like he couldn’t communicate, like he couldn’t talk… What if something happened? What if…? Why didn’t he talk?

The Paru maintained her gaze and stepped closer.

“We’re supposed to be…” He took another step. “What?”

The Paru stared down at her, who was more than 60 centimeters shorter.

The facial muscles suddenly twitched, and she lowered her gaze for a moment.

It was just for a moment! But just before she could raise her gaze back to his face, the Paru had turned around.

Liz cursed internally, replaceing herself, even during a mission and despite her feeling betrayed, unable to ignore his bulge for a long period of time.

‘God! I’m so fucking weak!!’
