Chapter 12 - Gimel

Although it was already bed time for many people, excluding the night owls and party-loving people, President Dukakis still works.

"No, no, no, this won't work. Tomorrow, I have to ask the Ministry of Finance to re-work this." said the president.

Dukakis then stood up to exercise a little, because he had sat for too long. He turned around and looked at the main street through the window.

"Huh, what the...?" he noticed the chaos on the street.

"President! There's a emergency! A big crocodile suddenly appeared from under the ground and started attacking people. We still don't know the number of the death and injured." the secretary stormed in the room and report.

"Evacuate people, and send for the military." the president gave order calmly.

"Yes, Mr. President!"

===

Meanwhile, Alexy and Co. managed to get up to the surface through another hole, as the hole above them leading up to the main road had been destroyed, there was no stair to climb up.

Seeing the bloody chaos, Alexy clenched his fist.

"Come on, let's get moving." said Kaeya, who knew what Alexy was thinking.

Alexy nodded without saying anything.

---

"Hey, you monster, stop hurting people!" Klee said and threw bombs at the crocodile.

BOOM BOOM BOOM

The crocodile turned back with difficulty because of its large body, and looked at Klee with its red eyes. Klee threw a bunch of bombs at it again.

BOOM BOOM

"It seems that it is not scared of me anymore!" Klee said and dashed back, standing behind Alexy. "And its body is too hard, even my bombs can't break it."

===

"Ahahaha, look like I provoked it a bit too much, now it is not scared of anything anymore!" said the Gacha God. "Madame Ping, stand right there!!! Don't even think of going to help them!"

The Gacha God showed his malicious aura, which was powerful enough to force Madame Ping to stand in her place, not going anywhere.

"I was just trying to get some tea. I'm sure that they can handle it themselves." said Madame Ping.

"Fine...get me a cup too..."

===

"It's gonna eat us. Paimon does not want to be eaten." Paimon kept shouting inside Alexy's mind.

"Just shut up, Paimon! I'm trying to think." Alexy shouted while he kept going backward, to avoid the demonic crocodile. "My head, think of something, I have been studying for nearly 12 years and I can't apply anything I have learnt."

BOOM

The tanks from the military had arrived and had begun to shoot at the monster. The crocodile turned towards the tanks. Kaeya seized the chance and used Frostgnaw on the monster, which caused Melt reaction.

"Huh, that's..." Alexy noticed something. "Kaeya, Klee, combined your elemental powers and keep attacking it.

"Oh...Melt reaction..." Kaeya chuckled.

(This guy...why does he keep feigning ignorance!) thought Alexy.

"Jumpty Dumpty go!"

"Freeze!"

The Melt reaction occurred, hot and cold continuously being applied on the crocodile hard skin, which eventually weakened it.

===

"What are those people doing?" a soldier inside the tank asked himself.

"What happened?" Colonel Sanders asked through communication device.

"Sir, there are three people standing beside the beast. They are using bomb and ice to attack the beast." the soldier answered.

"Bomb! Ice! Where did they get that?! Open the military camera at that area!" Colonel Sanders ordered.

---

(Wait, that's ice attack...it's somewhat similar to the ice device Prof. Ueda showed me...and where the heck did that girl get the bombs from?...And that masked man...looks suspicious.)

There are just so much mysteries about the trio.

"Soldiers, focus on destroying the beast. And send another team to capture those three." ordered Colonel Sanders.

===

Kaeya stopped using his Elemental Skill.

"Huh, why did you stop, Kaeya?" asked Alexy.

"Let's leave. I think the power from those things can destroy the monster. If we stay here any longer, we will be captured by the military." Kaeya answered.

"Ohhhhhhh...let's leave, Klee!"

"Awwwww...but I want to see the bad monster being blown up by my bomb..." Klee showed her sadness when she had to part with the crocodile.

"Klee, you can stay with you want those guys to put you in another 'solitary confinement'." said Kaeya.

"Let's leave, Brother Alexy!" Klee said unhesitantly.

===

BOOM

Finally, the fire shot from the tank broke the crocodile's weakened skin. Blood flew out, and the military dealt with it within a short time.

"Yessss, we did it!" many soldiers cheered.

At the same time, Alexy received the notification of his rewards.

Under the sewer,

"Tsk, we made the changes to that crocodile's skin, so even the bomb can't harm it. Yet using dramatic temperature change to the skin, weakening it, was something we haven't thought about!" said the man in black hood.

Suddenly, he felt something hard was put on the back of his neck.

"FREEZE!"

"Oh, it's you, Sebastian the butler. No, you are a spy, from that President Dukakis."

"Yes, you're right!" Sebastian replied.

"Hah, I guess your mission is not to collect evidence to convict Karasu, but to investigate his deal with secret organizations, like us, and find a way to investigate us."

"Your guess is not wrong."

"So you are a SPY!!!"

Both of them turned around and saw Mr. Karasu lying on the ground, his body was crushed here and there. His hand still wearing the glove with Geo Delusion on it.

"Hah, I thought you were dead. But look like I can use you for some entertainment." said black hooded man.

The Geo Delusion suddenly shone and Geo energy started to flow into Mr. Karasu's body.

"What...what are you doing to my body?...ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!"

Mr. Karasu's body turned to dust completely, and the same happened to the Geo Delusion. But from Mr. Karasu's body, a Geo cube appeared.

===

"I think we have escaped them!" said Alexy, looking at their backs to make sure no one followed them.

"I don't think it that's simple!" said Kaeya.

Alexy turned around and saw a line of soldiers standing in front of them, and their guns were ready to shoot at any moment.

"You can't run now!" said Colonel Sanders, who was standing in the middle of the line. "Masked man, I advise you to take your mask off NOW!"

"Please, calm down, we...!"

POW

A soldier shot, and the bullet was just one centimeter away from Alexy's leg.

(Crap, they will forcefully detain me if I don't comply. And what if my dad see me in the interrogate room...ahhhhhh!)

"When you are captured, don't rat Paimon out!" Paimon said.

"HURRY UP, we don't have time!" Colonel Sanders shouted again.

"Fine...!" Alexy raised his shaking hand to take his mask off.

BOOM

Suddenly, both sides heard a loud noise, they turned towards the main road, from which the noise came.

<>

"What, BOSS!" Alexy shouted.

In the middle of the main street, a stone pillar appeared, on which was a Geo cube.

"That's a Geo Hypotasis - Gimel!" said Paimon.

"If I can't eat something, I spoil it!" said the Geo Hypotasis with a deep and booming voice.

If one looks closely at this Geo Hypotasis's core, one will see Mr. Karasu's face on it.
