Chereads / The Dragonking of Nirn / Chapter 265 - Rite of Passage final part

Chapter 265 - Rite of Passage final part

Vincent, still in the air, locks on his next target. He places his feet against his spear before shooting out like a bullet from it while stretching his hand out making the spear that went the opposite way return to his hand.

He placed the tip in front of him making sure he would pierce through the Harvester in front of him while not losing much momentum in the process when the Harvester opened its mouth trying to get a chunk out of Vincent.

Vincent didn't change his trajectory as he went straight into the mouth of the Harvester before coming out on the other side covered in more blood than before.

He looked at the ground and see that the group was being in danger of being overrun when and Vincent takes a deep breath to calculate the best solution without him transforming into a Dragon when he closed his eyes and a dense red aura began to engulf him.

He opens his eyes as whistles giving Fenris a signal which made the Mabari run behind cover as he jumped at Grunt and Zaeed confusing both as circles begin to appear in mid-air when Vincent crashed into the ground.

The energy generated by him created a little crater that shock the place for a moment while a shockwave killed most of the enemies that wanted to overrun the ground team.

He looks at Grunt and Zaeed before saying, "This should give you a fairer fight than before. I need to help Garrus again."

"Let us just get this behind us. I killed today more beasts than in my whole carrier as a mercenary," says Zaeed complaining about it as he started shooting at the enemy again.

"*small laugh* Just say that you like it and don't complain," says Grunt as he was having the time of his life at the moment.

"See you two later then," says Vincent as he whistles before pulling his spear out of the ground.

He looks at the sky and sees his next target before he takes two steps and jumps into the air again to get another Harvester down from the sky when he avoids a bullet by using an acrobatic maneuver that passed him and killed a Harvester that was coming his way.

"Good to see that I got your back," says Vincent as he uses the Harvester that got shot as a stepping stone to gain more momentum.

"You got my back before, I was just making sure that we are even," says Garrus as he was looking through his scope and killed another Harvester.

"Slowly I am beginning to think that we did too much by revitalizing the local fauna since that means more beasts are reproducing since there is enough food for them to survive," says Vincent pointing out the abnormal number of wildlife they had to kill the last half an hour.

Once they finished taking care of the second wave they used the chance they got to eat and drink to regain some strength as Vincent began to skin a Varren before gutting it and placing it over a fire.

They feel the ground under their feet shake again and it was stronger than before making everyone a bit more nervous than before.

"Those shakes are getting on my nerves," says Zaeed having a bad feeling as he looks at the meat Vincent was cooking when he notices Vincent cutting some raw parts away and throwing them at Fenris who promptly began to eat.

"If my assumption is right it is a Thresher Maw that is right under us. All the blood we spilled today could lead for one or two of them to appear today," says Grunt excited to face most likely a Thresher Maw next.

"Let's hope that isn't the case," says Vincent as he watched over the fire so the meat isn't overcooked because of the intensity of the flames.

Garrus came down from his sniper spot and joined the group when Vincent rips the leg of a Varren from the body he cooked and gave it to him before splitting the rest with the other two.

Garrus was looking at it before saying, "I don't know if I should eat it because of my gastric circle."

"Right, I always forget that Turian can't eat normal food like Provus," says Vincent since the only Turian around him was his son.

After eating Vincent walked over towards the Keystone again and looks at the group which nod their heads.

He activates the Keystone again and the earth began to shake again. Vincent stood beside the Keystone since it would be a waste of energy to rush towards the group if Harvesters appear again.

Garrus was with the group as he stored his sniper and pulled out a Thunder in his hands which is a semi-auto assault rifle. They all stood behind the blood-covered barrier made out of stones as they awaited the enemy.

They could see some Harvesters approaching before the earth shakes madly around making Garrus and Zaeed lose their footing when suddenly a giant green worm came forth from the earth eating one of the Harvesters and the Klixens it was carrying.

"What the hell is that?" asks Vincent as he looked at the worm which seemed to be the biggest thing he saw in a long time.

"That is a Thresher Maw. They are the biggest inhabitants of Tuchanka," says Grunt having a mad smile on his face while the Harvesters seemed to turn away.

"It seems the Harvesters are afraid of it," says Vincent as the Thresher Maw looked into their direction and they all knew that they were its target.

"Fuck," say three of the four while Grunt only gave a mad laugh from himself as they began to spread since being together will get them only killed.

Vincent pierces the ground before letting go of his spear before as he places his hands in front of him which made the Gjallarhorn appear in his hands.

"How many shots do you think we will need to get this one down?" asks Vincent to Vigilance who wasn't visible.

"Two maybe three but I think if you jump inside the Maw's mouth it would only take one," says Vigilance as Vincent stopped aiming at the Thresher Maw.

"Are you serious?" asks Vincent as he looked at the Thresher Maw thinking about what Vigilance just said before saying, "Fuck it, we go all or nothing."

"I knew you would like this crazy idea," says Vigilance as he took the Gjallarhorn out of Vincent's hands.

Vincent grabbed his spear again and pulled it out of the ground before holding his ear and saying, "Let us finish this with a big bang."

"What do you have in mind?" asks Zaeed as they were shooting at the Thresher Maw which seemed to not feel their bullets hitting it.

"You will find out in a moment," says Vincent as he takes two steps before jumping in the direction of the Thresher Maw once near enough he uses his spear again to jump higher.

It almost looked like a painting as the Thresher Maw had its mouth open while Vincent was jumping into it. The group was in disbelief seeing Vincent jump into the Thresher Maw's mouth without a weapon as his spear pierced the ground again.

Vincent, now inside the Thresher Maw, holds his hands in front of him as he was covered by goo when the Gjallarhorn appears in his hands and he says, "We are never going to do this again. It will take weeks to get this smell off of my body."

"I just gave you a suggestion. I never said you should do that," says Vigilance as he couldn't believe that Vincent really jumped into his enemy's mouth just to kill him from inside out as he suggested.

"Let us get this behind us," says Vincent as he aims down the throat of the beast and pulls the trigger making the rocket travel down until it explodes sending Vincent who was falling down as well travel up from the force behind the explosion.

The Thresher Maw gave a strange sound from itself to the group outside before its body exploded on the under half they could see. The severed body was coming crashing down towards the Rite Ground as they ran to the side to not be buried under the body.

Vincent came shooting out of the mouth of the Thresher Maw like a bullet because of the pressure when he finds himself standing on top of the run-down tower with the Thresher Maw laying beside him.

"Never again," says Vincent as he shakes his hands to remove the goo from them before cleaning his face.

"Vincent, are you alright?" asks Garrus as Vincent looked at the group and shows them a thumb up while recalling his spear which returned to his hands.

Vincent jumps down and returns to the group before saying, "Let us never repeat this ever again."

"I agree we might not survive a second Rite," says Zaeed agreeing with Vincent as did Garrus.

"Boring," says Grunt as he earned some glares from his teammates since they went through this suicide mission to help him.

"Let's just hope that your condition is over after this shit," says Vincent as they waited for a while before a car came to pick them up again.

The people were in disbelieve when they saw the dead Thresher Maw laying on the ground when Vincent says, "You will need a new Rite Ground."

"No, we will just clean it up and the Thresher Maw corpse will most likely be eaten by the wildlife," says the Krogan driving the car as Vincent wanted a warm shower at the moment to get everything off his body.

They arrived at Tuchanka and Titania's group was already waiting for them when she sees them all worn out as if they passed a calamity.

"What happened?" asks Titania as she looked at them when Wrex came out of the Gathering House with his aides.

"They killed a Thresher Maw. The last time this happened was when I passed my Rite of Passage," says Wrex seeing the group as Titania wanted more information.

"That means?" asks Titania as Wrex walked towards Grunt and stares into his eyes.

"That means that your Tank Baby has a great future in front of him and his aggression seems to be gone from all the shit they survived today," says Wrex as he invited them for dinner but Titania rejected it since they are on a timer which made Wrex laugh.

"I hope you are successful on this mission, Shepard. Also, bring me this warrior alive if you can," says Wrex as he sends them off.
