Chereads / Worms: Adaptation / Chapter 14 - The first great loss

Chapter 14 - The first great loss

- ROAR - The engine of the Wyrm Fighter roared up, letting the machine soar up into the sky. There was no stopping it with the passengers already able to see the large battlefield. Space burned, making them hear sounds that couldn't be heard, sounds of explosions, screams of their dying comrades full of despair and calling for help, bones getting crushed under the enemy attacks and the endless war cries of the enemies. Mars felt rage, hatred and the will to massacre the army, while observing this scene. He began to visibly tremble, adrenaline flooding his body.

If only he had been stronger and faster, they wouldn't have had to die. Those humans were lost forever, dying for a cause unknown to them, a worthless death.

Mars just couldn't take it anymore, the people were waiting for him and his emotions were overwhelming. Weakened or not, there was no difference. He went to an escape pod and left the ship, ready to reap the souls of those, who did them dirty.

- BOOM - The spaceship shot at the enemy destroyers signaling their arrival. An escape pod then bombarded itself right into the enemy territory and exploded like a shrapnel grenade. Black energy could have been seen between the cracks of the pod, accelerating them and destroying part of their defenses.

Every eye locked onto him, carrying suprise, expectation and killing intent. Without saying another word did Mars put his Stat Points into Mental and expanded his Mind and Illusory Space, making him look nimble and almost invisible thanks to Void Camouflage.

A red eye appeared before the black nothingness that was quickly gobbled up by that beast. Its aura increased and Space fluctuations could be seen. Everything was getting drawn to him.

... CONGRATULATIONS - BACKSLASH REDUCED BY USING Void Berserker Eye ... BACKSLASH SURVIVED ... ENERGY CAPACITY NORMALIZED ... REACHING MIDDLE LOW GRADE - GAINING 5 STAT POINTS EACH, 5 FREE STAT POINTS AND 3 FREE SKILL POINTS ... READY TO RUMBLE ...

'Thanks System.' The mans energy spiked yet again, after raising his right arm and aiming at one of the destroyers. Black energy escaped out of his every pore, bundling at the end of his figertips. 'Output at 250.'

Then it shot out, creating a shockwave that pushed everything away from him and easily punctured the hull and entered the ship. It exploded instantly, obliberating every being on the ship and letting them die without pain but full of astonishment and fear.

The Void Beasts were frozen in space, not believing what just happened. How could they have someone this strong? How can he kill them with just a move of his fingers?

They just started trembling as that stain started moving towards them. Something held them in place, they couldn't move. The Void beasts that had been happily slaughtering the pesky humans were now experiencing the same. A wide grin and red eyes were slowly getting closer and closer. The force that was compressing them increased with each step he took. Their eyes were showing fear to the higher being that clearly had descended to their mortal realm. One punch, two punches, three punches, four punches. The monster punched onto the little beasts again and again, letting their dark blue blood float onto the battlefield and stopping the battle completely.

No matter which side hey thought for, they stared at the man torturing those unlucky creatures in awe for his strength. As if on command every Void being tried to escape from this unforsaken place, but they could not run. No matter where they went, they just ended up where they had started. And even if someone went close to escaping, the strange force would just hold them in place and then compress them till they were dead.

Even the Destroyer ships weren't spared. They were all systematically crushed or energy waved.

There was no more backup coming, but it wouldn't have mattered. The killing spree of Mars continued for 2 hours until nothing was left to kill or destroy.

The end of the massacre was signaled by the empty voice of the system.

A pitch black armor appeared, assembling onto the stain in space but quickly fusing itself with the almost invisible colour, making it dissappear as well. The only things that were left on the battlefield were the endless mechanical and biological corpses, an endless silence and glowing red eyes. The ones that witnessed this bloody battle were still shaking in fear of their higher up. The monster from the Void and the Wyrm was back.
