Chapter 6 - How to not fight your battles

"Wonderful, Chris, stop posturing and take care of these ants!"

Raion spoke with a wide smile, amused at how Chris postured. The giant scratched the back of its head and gave a sheepish smile, making him look truly amusing.

The giant stopped acting like a shy little boy and put on a frown on his face. It seemed angry, its giant mouth parted and words like rumbling thunder flew out from its mouth.

"YOU DARE TRY TO HUNT LORD RAION, YOU SHALL PERISH UNDER MY FIST!"

As it said this, a large amount of mist flew out of its nose and rapidly flew to its right arm. The giant balled its right palm into a fist and took on a fighting stance, one that was unique to Chris only; one had to know that although Chris was quite a weakling and a bit trashy, he was still a determined man, and using his determination created a martial art unique to himself alone.

And that fighting stance was what the giant was adopting right now. Its right arm was placed in front of his torso and the palm was balled into a fist, the mist from its nose covered the fist.

The left arm stuck to the side of the giant, never leaving to block or dodge any attack once, but the palm of the left arm was also balled into a fist. The right leg of the giant was placed forward, and the left backward.

This was an odd stance created by Chris called the Oddball Stance. The giant pushed his right arm forward towards the troops on the ground, the mist around the right fist flayed wildly as the fist shot forward.

BOOM!

A loud explosion could be heard as the giant fist collided with the air. The ground exploded into fragments, and the giant's fist didn't even touch the ground, it was just the wind produced when the fist hit the air.

There wasn't even a sign of humans being in that location, everything was obliterated, well except from Raion and the chopper that circled the sky. The wing commander had sweat on his forehead, this feat that Chris performed was only possible because that terrifying youth gave him power. Seeing this, the wing commander got a greedy light in his eyes.

'If I could give my body, soul, and loyalty to this person, won't I obtain power greater than what the military can offer?'

These thoughts of greed permeated the wing commander's mind, but he heard the voice of the young man who he thought about just now.

"Hmph, mister wing commander, don't think for a second I don't know what you're thinking right now, if I wanted I can kill an unloyal dog like you in my sleep!"

A chill ran down the wing commander's spine as he heard the youth's words, he immediately banished all thoughts of betraying the military, he gave an order to the shooters in the air.

"FIRE! A round of bullets to the giant and another two rounds to the kid!"

After his command, countless bullets from different angles shot towards the giant and Raion at the same time.

Raion looked at the bullets with an unsurprised look while the Chris giant didn't even bother, it just let the bullets hit itself. The bullets collided against the skin of the giant and turned into dust.

The giant Chris having taken care of its own bullets, moved a palm forward to block the bullets coming for Raion.

The bullets like the other ones turned into dust the moment they came into contact with the giant's skin.

"Fucking trash! Give me that rifle, and hand over the magazine of armour piercing bullets, I'll handle this myself!"

The wing commander grew angry at the constant failure to injure the two enemies and collected the rifle and armour piercing bullets for himself.

The wing commander lay down flat on the floor of the chopper and aimed the rifle towards the giant. He placed some bullets into the gun and cocked the gun properly towards the giant. As soon as everything was in place, the finger on the trigger tightened, and a loud bang shot through the air.

The bullet whizzed through the air and hit the giant's calf. The giant dropped to the ground and cried out in pain.

"Keke, see how it's done you fools, now it's the boy's turn!"

The wing commander stopped gloating towards the soldiers behind him and cocked the rifle towards the previous location of the youth. He looked at the scope in hope of enhancing his view. Through this, he would be able to hit the youth more efficiently.

The wing commander saw nothing but dark and grey, he also felt a rush of wind hitting him, the wing commander was astounded, he immediately realized that he fucked up.

"Yes, you really fucked up!'

Raion raised his hand up, and in a brief second brought it down. The chopper in the air stopped moving and split into countless pieces.

"Hmm, Chris, turn back into human form and get some clothes, I need to take you somewhere to explain some things."

Upon hearing his words, the giant rapidly shrunk in size, and returned to its regular size; the normal Chris.

"Fuck it! I only stayed in the US for a few years, now my location is known to the US military and other government agencies all around the world, all in the span of a few days. It's time for a location change, and I think I know the right place to move to."

Raion muttered as he looked at the surrounding mess. He walked over to the spot where the secret room was, the giant room still stood. It was kinda weird though, a single large box-shaped room, standing in a wreck. Heh, but what did he matter, he would be moving the room in a few days, anyway.

"Keke, fighting personally is quite annoying, I think I'll cease to fight for myself now, but I also need a set of people to fight my battles, they shall be known as my Deadman Unit, and Chris and Nyx are the first of the Unit."

He thought as phased through the room walls rapidly, thinking of how he could stop fighting his own battles.
