"Motherfuuuu!!!" Sao screamed.
The five wooden dogs growled. Their eyes were locked on Lorian. Lorian didn't wait for them to move, he dashed at the wooden dogs with his mallet.
Lorian spun as he swung the mallet hard to the wooden dogs. The wooden dog tried to dodge, however, the strike was so fast that as they jumped they flew and turned into smithereens in the air.
Pastor Opium on the other hand battled the 'crab house' upfront. Whenever the pincers were swung at him, he would swing back with his thick book. His strength was so abnormal that he could stop the pincer from snipping him by using both his hands. The brute force he generated crawled to the walls as they crumbled along with the pincers.
The 'crab house' door opened and once again sucked those pieces back, its pincers regrew back to normal. Lorian ignored the regeneration of the 'crab house' as he smashed the legs to pieces.
The sucking was interrupted, as the 'crab house' leaned on the side. The windows flared as the red light became intense. Under the 'crab house', spikes sprouted and flew at Lorian.
Lorian ran as fast as he could. Spikes rained down on his trail, only stabbing Lorian's silhouette. He jumped in the space of the 'crab house' legs, escaping the barrage of spikes.
The 'crab house' wood creaked, sucking back the wooden pieces again. Its broken legs and pincers regrew back to normal.
"This is never-ending," Lorian said.
Pastor Opium started sweating rivers. "We need to destroy the core of this house. If not, we will slowly tire ourselves out till we die," he informed.
The 'crab house' was back to normal, releasing 5 wooden balls again. This time the 'crab house' roared at them. Sao, who secretly ran behind the 'crab house', shot the wooden balls shattering them to pieces.
"How do we get inside it!" Sao screamed.
"You figure it out!" Pastor Opium replied as he dodged the 'crab house' attacks.
Rain, that was busy assembling something at the back of the jeep suddenly screamed. "Fire in the hole!"
Rain held a broom over her head. The broom was tied with different bottles filled with a reddish liquid. Like throwing a javelin, Rain threw the broom in the 'crab house' direction.
The broom's fibers started igniting as it flew to the mouth of the 'crab house'. When its stick came into contact with the walls, the bottles started breaking. The red liquid inside brightly glowed.
"Savo-guita!"
Boom!
A loud explosion blew the front of the 'crab house' to pieces. The explosion's force was so strong it pushed the 'crab house' and fell on its back. Lorian, who was beneath the 'crab house' was sent flying by the explosion. Pastor Opium's clerical clothes were torn by the wooden shards, showing the toned muscles under his clothes.
The ground shook and dust bellowed around the 'crab house'. Lorian stood up, unscathed, but covered in dirt.
"Grab something," Rain said as she grabbed onto a log.
Pastor Opium looked at Lorian. "You go. We'll take care of the house," he said.
Lorian nodded, grabbing a wooden plank. The wooden house rumbled, as it started shaking. Wooden fragments floated up into the air and the dust cleared. Those wooden fragments started flying toward where the house's front door once was.
Lorian and Rain who were grabbing at the fragments flew as well. They were sucked inside the house, vanishing at the already fixed front door. The 'crab house' stood up along with the five wooden dogs beneath it.
Pastor Opium removed his torn clerical robe, while Sao appeared behind with both revolvers in each of his hands. "Let me handle those dogs for you," he said.
"Much appreciated," Pastor Opium thanked.
"Also, we should move farther. I don't want the jeep to have any scratches," Sao sincerely suggested.
Pastor Opium looked at Sao weirdly. His request was so out of place. However, Sao meant what he said which made Pastor Opium even more confused.
'Such a weird person. Jeeps are replaceable,' Pastor Opium thought.
"Fine," Pastor Opium agreed to Sao's request.
Sao smirked as he started running to the left, shooting the 'crab house'. Meanwhile, Pastor Opium followed suit. The 'crab house' roared at them while slowly following their tracks, while the wooden dogs stealthily followed behind them, hiding inside the thick corn plantation.
Sao and Pastor Opium stopped running in the middle of the plantation's crossroad. Waiting for the slow 'crab house' to follow them. While waiting, Sao took his time to start reloading both his revolvers.
Seeing an opening, the wooden dogs pounced at the defenseless Sao. The wooden dogs jumped, surrounding their every direction. Pastor Opium expected their attacks and was about to swing his thick book at them.
Bang! Bang!
The revolvers' muzzles smoked. Three wooden dogs dropped to the ground, not showing any signs of movement. With his leg raised, he swept the two with his feet. He kicked the two wooden dogs to the ground and broke them both with a single shot.
"I'm sorry Pastor," Sao apologized to Pastor Opium, as he reload his revolver again.
"No problem," Pastor Opium replied.
The pieces of the wooden dogs flew right in the 'crab house' front door. It growled at Sao and Pastor Opium. The 'crab house' pointed its pincer at them, sharp spikes protruding at its surface.
The spikes shot at Pastor Opium sealing any chance for him to dodge. Sao stepped back, pointing his revolvers above. Meanwhile, Pastor Opium tightened his grasp on the thick book that veins were popping out of his arm.
Bang! Bang! Bang! . . . .
Sao shot all the rounds out of his revolvers. The Angel shot scattered above, hitting the spikes that were falling down the sky and shattering them to pieces. Pastor Opium on the other hand rapidly smashed the leftover spikes, not letting any of them land on him.
However, one still managed to puncture his leg. Pastor Opium could feel a burning sensation in his left leg. When he looked at it, a spike was stuck on his thigh.
The 'crab house' charged at them. Its sharp legs trying to run them over. But Pastor Opium gritted his teeth and held onto the ground. He caught two of its legs with his hands and broke them as he jumped backward. Then, Pastor Opium threw those sharp legs at the 'crab house' walls.
The 'crab house' roared in pain as it started releasing those wooden balls again. However, Sao wouldn't let those wooden balls transform back into those dogs. He shot at them, breaking them down while still being balls.
Pastor Opium savagely smashed the legs, walls, and pincers. Not giving it any time to regenerate. The 'crab house' could only roar in despair as it tried to suck the pieces that were destroyed.
Out of desperation, the 'crab house' windows lit up. The whole body of the 'crab house' expanded as it grew spikes like a puffer fish. Pastor Opium tried to smash them but they were too many.
"Noooooo!" Sao looked in horror as the protruding spikes were about to stab Pastor Opium.
