<×> KORVAC <×>
Chapter 10 : Resolution.
The merciless siege against the Sandworm becomes simply animal abuse for not calling it straight up bullying.
{Or would be worst the animal abuse rather than the bullying?, i suppose it depends on the situation, or on how biased is the ethics and morals of each individual}
Considering the size of the Sandworm, and how much we have attacked it, there should be some kind of response from it, but it just continues with its maw's locked on the arm of Urlgrend companion.
The latter suddenly slaps the face of the Blonde Fit Guy.
—Hey!, What are you doing that hurt!.
Mention the victim with anger holding back his intention of retaliation, the perpetrator is pale, and struggles to gesticulate and talk.
—I-It, w-wa-a-sn-t m-m-m-e.
The absurdity of the sentence stunned us for a second, in which the laying Man got its veins exalted, accelerating his blood pressure and standing up weirdly while pushing and slapping everyone else away from him.
*Mmhph*
The unintelligible sound is concerning, but the panicked and impotence in the eyes of this Man is more concise than the most elaborate prose.
{His body is no longer of him, if not of it, the Sandworm somehow is controlling his movements, with clumsiness, But…}
{What could be expected of an animal with no additional limbs?, "Nothing", nothing more, nothing less, and that undeniable constant is irrelevant here}
{"That", makes this to be incredibly impressive, an eye opener monstrosity, to say the least, but it is still an unfathomable lesson for the uncertain future that is lurking ahead of me}
Amazement and concerns reverberates in my mind, the idea of being so powerless feels worst than disgusting, terrible?, horrifying?, no, is twisted and morbidly repulsive, a sensation that is absolutely abhorrently.
{Such violation of the free will of anyone can't be allowed!, Much less tolerated!}
—Cut his arm!.
Scream the Old Man, widening the eyes of almost everyone.
Urlgrend look at the Pink Hair Girl and with steady voice ask.
—Can you do it?.
She twitch his eyes, gritting her teeth before replying.
—I can try, but…
—Do it, the responsibility of the consequences is on me.
The Girl gulps down, pointing her right hand towards the erratic walk of Urlgrend companion.
A slight tremble is visible, and she controls it by holding her wrist with the left hand.
The lilac bullet of light starts to be generated, different to before, she takes a few seconds, channelizing more light into the projectile, making it bigger.
*Shhfhh*
The inhale of the Girl is loud, obviously to calm herself down, closing her eyes shortly in the search of courage, no, she has the conviction since accept to perform, her doubt is not about being emotional challenged, entirely the opposite, is conscious of her capabilities and her knowledge of her incapacity is what is stopping her now.
There is two ways of changing this, by the will of being determinated yourself, or by the need of results, and she is expirience both of them simultaneously in this precise moment}
*Fhhshh*
The loud exhalation is followed up by opening her eyes, the lilac is brighter and changes the intensity on the bullet too.
Awhistle followed by a sonic boom is what transcurrs after the lilac flash that was the projectile, faster than any previous attack of her.
Accurately striking the head of the Sandworm, obliterating the translucent marble white protection in one shot, damaging a tiny bit the exoskeleton of the bug.
{I thought the protection had being destroyed before, it has deceived us?, or we actually deactivate the protection and manage to recover it already?}
The answer doesn't matter as the Sandworm uses the momentum of the strike to spin the body of Urlgrend companion, using the unharmed arm of the individual to grab its worm body.
{Wants to launch himself to the exit, we can't kill it, but keeping it here is quite possible as we do}
Everybody panics, running to tackle down the Man, ready to intercept the worm in the air or like Myself, sprinting to block the exit.
But is a bait, he is going after the Pink Hair Girl, i try to change my course abruptly but stepping wrong in my hastiness i slip.
In the fall i point to the girl and Vinnval reads my mind because is tackling the girl out of the way.
But the spin doesn't stop continuing for a moment, the Sandworm finally launches itself employing Urlgrend companion as a slingshot, deceiving everyone as the Creature reaches the far away opening from where we spot the Sandworms feasting on the now faceless death woman.
Standing on its new high ground the Creature look at us, i can feel the mocking smirk on its expressionless head, followed by a spitting gesture, shooting a marble white bullet towards Urlgrend companion.
The already exalted veins of the Man begins to light up too much in a marble tone that resembles the bullets of the Sandworm.
The next moment the fair hazel skin of the Man turns into a transluscent white marble, liberating a bit of heat then exploding violently in a flash of light, striking everybody with a powerful shock, sound and light wave.
The damage dealt at everyone is substantial, first grade burns in our unprotected skin as a massive pain due to the impact, but weirdly, or maybe not, our clothes, nails, hair and even the eyes are unscratched after such harsh and abrupt occurrence.
{The additaments delivered to us are not simple clothes, they are capable of transmitting or severate the connection between our bodies and whatever is surrounding us}
My breathing is faster and faster as i stop looking at the Hazel stone ceiling, standing up to deviate my focus without success.
{Damned Sandworm, he played us as kindergartens kids, *Ghh*, the friction of moving is painful and annoying, well, at least my genitals are safe, and having them hanging out is no longer a nuisance}
The other Teammates are and not in better conditions than Myself, Urlgrend the other Leader, a male that is of his members and Vinnval, they are less burned than me, even when all of them were closer to the explosion.
The Girl and the Woman are unharmed, the former had her lilac protection, but seeing the latter with the same kind of transluscent protection on the green peridot light around her is quite the sight.
Lastly the Blonde Fit Guy and the Old Man are almost in the same conditions or a bit worse than me, when they actually were further away from the blast.
The rest are death, 18 people, we start the fight with 18 persons, and only 9 of us remain, two of the seven in better phisical conditions, but mentally exhausted.
—Korvac!, she didn't need protection.
Said Vinnval signaling the Pink Hair Girl, she coughs.
—Please, do not refer to me as "She" like if i were a peasant, call me Lady Thyfall, and if you touch me inappropriately once again, i shoot you down, i was clear?.
Vinnval nods fastly, but tries to contain his laugh as everyone else, "Lady Thyfall" is too cute, and her voice rather than threatening is adorable, which difficults taking her statement seriously.
Of course, everyone saw how she strike the Level 2 Sandworm, and that is the real reason of holding back our luaghs.
Vinnval turns to me and grinns,
—Thanks for before Korvac, the Moth could have killed me if it wasn't for your warning.
—He is right…
Comment the Woman of short black hair she is tall, fit, composed and grateful, i like her.
»—Your warnings saved us.
All presents nods, at the remark, provoking a light and shy smile from me, is not like i didn't get compliments back on "Ground", but hits different a "Good game pal, to, "Thanks for keeping me alive".
{But i couldn't do the same for my fiancee, i failed her, those invaders were completely in another division league, we were unable to do other thing aside of fleeing, and that wouldn't go right, *Sigh*, i can't only give my all for that to not happen again}
—It will sound insensitive from my part, but how will we divide the loot Urlgrend?.
Asks the Leader of the other Team almost nonchalantly.
—How about you two join my Team Jagarlout?, temporarily of course, and we divide the profits equally on the town, as you know, discounting valuable materials and everything above Failed Grains as personal income.
—You are always so understanding!, let's not waste more time and gather everything before this place starts to stink and attract more work before a well deserved and needed rest is effectuated.
—Haha, that is usually correct, the fact that we need to finish fast to not attract more with the smell of blood, but with the explosion everything is burn, charred or straight up carbonized, the smell of smoke is going to keep them at bay for a while, unless they are fleeing like the Moth…
