Chapter 126: Different Fighting Styles!

“I’ll go take what I need from the lost ship…” Roka muttered to herself after taking a deep breath in. “Then bring the Tsero Crystal!”

‘I hope you succeed…’ The invisible Paru walking half a dozen steps behind her thought to himself. ‘I’ll come with just in case.’

‘Alright. Slowly increasing…’ The invisible Paru thought to himself.

With his body having grown larger, the rate of Endurance Points consumption from using the Invisibility Skill had increased. But from Devouring so many of Serolia’s Crystals, his ability to restore Endurance Points had increased to such a degree that the consumption brought on by Invisibility was lower than his Endurance Points recovery rate.

‘This does make recovering them a lot slower but…’

The Paru had gained the ability to use Invisibility infinitely.

This would be true if all he did was walk around and stand. Moving fast, fighting, and using other Skills while keeping Invisibility on would drain his Endurance Points slowly but surely.

‘Still, I’m just following her for now, so they’re increasing. I’d like to have them at full by the time that we replace a Giganto Zilla or Tsero… Well, if we do.’

Unlike Liz, Roka had brought minimal weaponry with her.

A sniper rifle was slung on her back. Two guns lay in her hostler belt.

In her hands was a shotgun.

‘Going pretty light…’ The invisible Paru scratched his head. ‘Liz’s most useful weapon was the machete, since it could damage their Crystals… It’ll be tough with just these.’

Still, he could understand her reasoning.

‘In and out, prioritizing speed… Plus, she plans on taking stuff from the old ship. It won’t be easy though…’

Just as he thought so, trouble approached.

Before he could even notice them, Roka had stopped and lowered herself on one knee.

She swiftly exchanged the shotgun in her hands for the sniper rifle on her back, and watched through the scope.

The Paru brought a hand to his forehead and narrowed his eyes.

He could barely notice movement, far in the distance.

‘Is there even-‘

Bang!

The shot was made before the Paru could even see the approaching enemies.

Cryna Hurna. Hyena-like Visero. He, previously, hadn’t noticed how developed their eyesight was.

‘I’ll have to eat some and get better vision…’

Bang!

A second shot was fired.

The empty shell spun in the air while Roka quickly rotated.

By the time that the Cryna Hurna got close enough that the Paru could count their numbers, five shots had been fired.

‘Fucking hell…’ The Paru cursed internally. ‘Only three of them left.’

Before they could get two dozen steps close to Roka, the Cryna Hurna were shot down.

“Phew.” Roka let out a deep breath as she stood back up. “West…”

She started heading in that direction, walking by the fallen Cryna Hurna.

‘Each one died with one shot… She didn’t miss one? Not even those when they were too far for me to see?’

The Paru followed her, a dozen steps behind, dumbfounded.

He stopped once he arrived in front of the closest fallen Cryna Hurna.

‘Shot right through the eye… The bullet pierced through its brain and, from the inside, knocked against the crystals that cover its nape and head…’

The Paru had wanted to see the Commander fight like Liz had, but their fighting styles were completely different.

‘Incredibly precise aim… Supernatural eyesight… Hearing as well? No… Otherwise, she would be able to hear the sound produced by my footsteps. I should increase the distance a bit, just in case…’ The Paru thought to himself as he decreased his speed. ‘She notices them even when they’re very far away. I don’t have to stick to her. I only need to help once they get too close. If I keep an eye on her, they won’t get the chance to get close…’

Bang!

‘Well, they’re struggling to get close even without me…’

The Paru had decided to follow Roka just in case something went wrong. A solo mission was very risky after all.

‘Tsk… I can’t eat them either… She’ll notice me if I do. Plus,’

Bang!

‘She might shoot the instant that she hears me produce any noise. I need to be careful…’

The more corpses the Paru walked past, the more amazed at Roka’s prowess he grew.

‘Shot through the eyes, through the mouth, or through their necks… But only when their necks aren’t covered by Crystal. Amazing… Incredible aim and very good judgment. She takes just enough time to make sure before shooting.’

Roka walked while staring dead ahead, sniper rifle in hand.

‘Thanks to Rea, we landed about ten kilometers away from our old location. I should be able to make it in an hour or two.’ She thought to herself while reloading. ‘Tsero and Giganto Zillas are the only problems I can run into. Anything else,’ An empty was ejected into the air. ‘I can kill with one shot.’

About a dozen minutes passed.

Everything was going according to Roka’s plan.

‘Hm…’ The invisible Paru’s eyes narrowed as a familiar scene unfolded in the distance.

A roar resonated, and a pillar of crystals collapsed.

‘Looks like it’s time for me to…’

Roka had lowered herself to one knee again.

She watched through her scope.

‘Once she takes her shot, I’ll position myself in front of her as she reloads. Reloading time will allow her to look at me and realize that it’s me, instead of shooting right away. With her assisting me, I should be able to make it. Plus…’ The Paru had noticed it earlier, next to the guns placed on Roka’s hostler. ‘She took that hammer with her. I’ll need it to make it-‘

Roka suddenly got back on her feet, and started running.

‘As much as I would like to kill one for revenge, it’s just not feasible.’ She thought while running to the right. ‘I’ll circle around it and continue.’

The invisible Paru stood around for a moment, unmoving.

‘Wise choice.’ He nodded. ‘I am a bit disappointed though.’

Sigh-

‘Guess I’ll keep following like this for a bit longer.’
