Aron didn't intervene to stop Garu from doing this; instead, he simply cast him a sidelong glance before turning to face the beast.
"Continue passing me spears." Before continuing his earlier offensive strategy, he gave instructions.
The creature really wanted to flee and pursue others who were running, but was unable to do so because of the attacks' continual nature.
Since they consistently shrank back a little before firing, Aron was able to predict the manner in which it launched its tendrils.
He had more than enough time to move away from the attack's focal point and successfully evade it.
As soon as he was far enough away, he hurled his spear, which impacted the tendril just as it was about to make contact.
"Kreek!"
Tremble~
The creature struggled to move its tendril back while wailing in anguish, but the spear firmly pierced it and mounted it to the ground.
The beast was evidently apprehensive to rip said tendril because doing so would force it to pull too hard.
This caught Aron off guard for a brief while because he expected it to retreat and carry on striking.
"It ceased to move! Let's go Tlaloc" The creature's motion was stopped, allowing the two to flee.
Aron turned to Garu who was now coming in his direction until suddenly Garu widened his eyes.
"?"
As soon as Aron looked back after being attentive, he saw that the creature was poised to launch another tendril.
He prepared to avoid with his legs braced up, but then...
"Move!"
Crack, Pa
Garu attacked him in an effort to save his life, but in doing so, he took a clean hit to the head, and the sound of his skull breaking was audible.
Aron disregarded Garu and rolled away from him after making contact with the ground before grabbing a nearby spear and hurling it towards another weak point on the creature.
"Kreek!"
This time, more blood gushed out, indicating that he had finally struck a more delicate organ.
The Scholopendra then erupted into a rage and aggressively tore a portion of its mounted tendril free.
It appeared to be about to retreat as its formation broke down.
Aron, however, wasn't about to permit that. He went toward more spears that were lying next to the bodies of their previous owners, snatched them up, and ran toward the middle of the monstrosity.
"Don't even think of leaving after all this!"
Aron jumped up into the air and hurled the spears with enormous force, each of which pierced through a different part of the creature before sinking into the earth.
The Scholopendra could only go on a frenzy in one location because four spears had firmly nailed it to the earth.
Aron moved away from the creature at this point and continued to hurl spears at various regions of its body in an effort to hasten its destruction.
One spear..
Two..
…
Eleven…
Nove l B(in).C OM
Boom!
It wasn't until the eleventh spear landed on it that it finally collapsed, no longer struggling and nearing it's death.
Now that it was entirely vulnerable, Aron walked up to it, got up on top of it, and placed his palm on its body.
"Your mana is mine."
Woosh~
Mana fluctuations in the vicinity became intense and violent immediately after contact.
Light blue gaseous light streaks could be seen emanating from the creature and vanishing into Aron via the numerous pores on his body.
"Sss~"
He kept a strong expression on his face and gritted his teeth, sucking in the frigid air. His veins dilated more and more as time passed.
? In contrast, the creature started to gradually lose its color and grow smaller.
Aron's pupils formed a green complex before his eyes eventually turned entirely black.
The color of his skin then gradually faded, and in certain areas, a rigid chitin membrane developed.
"Tsk, persistent to the bitter end."
Aron murmured before reiterating his resolve. When he did, the traits that had started to emerge on his body gradually went back.
Sigh~
After all, Aron couldn't help but groan in frustration as he looked over his body and noticed that he was still pretending to be Tlaloc.
"Experimenting now isn't a good idea." Before starting to glance around, he put the thought to the back of his mind.
The battle against a solitary Scholopendra's gory battlefield was all that was left.
Aron still had lingering oscillations around himself that he needed to suppress in a quiet spot, but the monster itself was little more than a dried-up husk.
"I doubt they can infer very much from this scene alone. It should suffice." Although the scene was already ideal, Aron was about to change it.
He gave the area a short glance before leaping from the now-dead beast and scanning the direction of the forest in the distance because there was nothing wrong with it other than Tlaloc's missing body.
…
As Aron began his journey in Limbo, Pesia was approaching it's end.
Many of the individuals who weren't in the Galos region had already met tragic ends and the only sounds left in the planet were the screams of maddened beasts.
Many people persisted nevertheless, and they were able to travel there by airships. The third generations of numerous aristocracy were among the large number of this group.
"We've made it!"
From the deck of the leading airship among the four that were flying, a joyful yell resounded.
The voice belonged to Scarlett, a woman with red hair and a broad grin on her face.
"Don't you think it's too soon to be happy?"
In contrast to her brash and wild tone, Henry's voice could be heard coming from behind her. It was more sophisticated and eloquent.
It had been a difficult journey to get there, and even though only a few days had passed, most had lost hope. He approached from behind and gave them a solemn look as they stared at Galos city from a distance.
The young man Lucas, who quickly arrived at the deck with obvious distress, was among the most hopeless. 'Mother… Sister… please be okay.'
Since practically everyone, especially the aristocracy, had relatives who had stayed behind in Galos, he wasn't the only one who harbored such concerns.
However, every time they attempted to speak after collecting the crystals, it was unsuccessful.
This is concerning; at the very least, we should have noticed some other airships.
Everyone, with the exception of Scarlett, was experiencing identical feelings, Lucas said with an undercurrent of anger.
"Look there! The organisms
Henry was able to observe a startling scene after traveling a certain distance: many of the monsters that had been running amok throughout Drotzi were now lying motionless on the ground.
He wondered why there wasn't even a hint of blood because it appeared as though they were sleeping. "What's happening?"
They attacked from above to see if this was true, but the bodies didn't move, proving that they had passed away. They could see more as they drew nearer.
The monsters' grotesque appearance, which included hollow bodies and narrow, black eyes, persisted even after they entered the city. The few intruding creatures all suffered the same fate.
"What could do this… and where is everyone."
The more Henry looked about, the more he worried since the surroundings made him feel very anxious and afraid.
The other airship crew members, including Anastasia, Esmeralda, Emilia, Sebastian, and Brutas along with a few other unfamiliar faces, quickly appeared on the scene.
"Look over there a person!"
Scarlett noticed a figure casually strolling towards the city's center from the airship.
"That's… Juliet." Anastasia recognized the person right away.
Juliet had long since become aware of their presence but kept moving on without turning around.
They could only follow her to the town plaza, where they saw a different figure there as well.
"Grandmother!" Victoria Vonstein was sitting in the city plaza near to an odd blue portal that looked like a whirlpool when Brutas saw her.
…
Many of them regained their hope after seeing her and hurriedly parked their airships anywhere that was open, without giving it a second thought.
Victoria herself appeared to be both happy and regretful at the same time when she saw so many familiar faces.
"Grandmother! What's going on?" She gently rose from the ground while Brutas rushed to her side, oblivious to Juliet who was in front of her.
"Thank goodness you're all okay… truly." She grumbled.
Henry and the others approached and stood in the square while they all posed a number of inquiries regarding what had happened to their parents.
"This…"
Even though Victoria didn't know where to start, she didn't lie and gave them the truth about what had happened, including her choice for humanity.
!!
Everyone was in a state of shock; even Scarlett, who was alone, was astonished and afraid after learning what had happened.
Then, among those who, were our parents. Victoria gave a quick nod in response to Esmeralda's uncertain question.
Although she didn't have the finest connection with her mother, she did love her, and like many others present, she started crying.
