Chapter 14 - Chapter 13: Mutreph, a formidable opponent.

The day after our escape, my mother was exhausted, her wounds were too deep, she forced her last reserves so that we could escape, now she can't even move.

I was still paralyzed, and so she always had to watch me.

She told me not to worry, that I would still lack nothing.

I then told her that I was hungry.

She smiled and then, an unthinkable thing happened.

She asked me to eat her.

I thought it was a dream, a nightmare, a joke in bad taste.

Me? Eat my mother?

She said she was no longer good for anything, the only thing she can still do is feed me.

That day, I didn't eat even though she forced me to.

For more than 2 weeks I hadn't eaten anything and neither had she.

I was always hungry, extremely hungry, but I wasn't able to move to get something to eat myself.

My mother asked me again to eat her.

I continued to sulk, better yet I was starving than to do something like that.

My mother led her arm to her mouth and started to eat her arm.

I was stunned, horrified, terrified, she then told me (you see? It doesn't hurt me go ahead eat me Mutreph!)

I cried that day, I was angry and sad at the same time.

She held out her arm to me and added.

(A young boy must eat to gain strength, eat my son, feed yourself to speed up your healing!)

It is with tears that blind me, and snot that prevent me from breathing properly that I began to feed on my mother.

I knew that each mouthful of mine made her suffer, she was still alive and felt this terrible pain.

I hesitated then and I did not stop crying.

My mother said: (Mutreph, when a mutan eats another mutan in a situation where he is injured, he will recover more easily from the other, I have already made my life, and look at me, I am no longer able to continue, it is your turn to make yours my child, eat me go ahead)

I took another mouth from her and so on.

While I was eating my mother, she told me a story, her story that I was able to tell you!!!

For 1 month I fed myself by eating my mother, there was nothing left of her, her dear, her organs and most importantly her life.

Only bones were still present, but still, I had recovered, not completely but I was already able to move and move an arm.

As a farewell, I decided to eat all her bones so that she would always be in me.

But after that I had a new goal, to find my father, kill him and then devour him to reunite them.

And all those who would cross my path will die in atrocious suffering....

Mutreph: so that's the end of my story children. What do you say? Did you want to confront me, or let me pass?!

The children were stunned, they didn't know that Mutreph had experienced this kind of thing.

Saramut: Mutreph, is your father still alive? Where is he?

Mutreph: My father is in monor city!!

ErMut: And once you have killed your father what will you do?

Mutreph: I will go live in snowy mountains!!

Mutjack: And you really plan to kill all those who will get in your way?

Mutreph nods.

Saramut: It's a bit silly, given your appearance, obviously they'll want to pick on you, without wanting to be rude, you're really repulsive!

Mutreph: Hahaha, I know, but I didn't ask for anything, all I am today is my father's fault!

Mutana: Mutreph, we're really sorry for what you've been through but we're asking you to stop this, who's your father first?

Mutreph: My father is Doctor Grijan ....

ErMut: Doctor Grijan? He's a super important and world-famous man, he comes from the southern countries of Gu-HoiT!!

Mutreph nods and says.

Mutreph: Exactly, we're from Persila!

ErMut: Mutreph, if you kill him, you will certainly cause the second war against humans and mutants, he is a really important man now!!

Mutreph: Pufff, after having made my mother and I suffer horrors...

Mertana: Mutreph, you should understand, you must give up and let karma take care of its fate, you know there is a God who takes care of everyone and injustice included, he will take care of Doctor Grijan for you!

Mutreph: Hahahaha, nonsense, if there really is a god why does he let so much injustice happen? Why did you watch me suffer all this time and put my persecutor in the spotlight?! Huh?!!!!!

ErMut: I regret Mutreph but we can't let you go to Monor city, we will have to avoid another war!!

Mutreph: So you chose to get in my way?!

The humanoid mutans get into combat stance.

Saramut: Mutreph I beg you to renounce this choice, I know it's very difficult but I think even your mother would agree with us!!

Mutreph feels nervous and attacks Saramut directly.

Mutreph: What right do you have to talk about my mother?!!!!

He strikes in the direction of Saramut.

She jumps back and dodges Mutreph's attack.

On the other side, Mutjack, rushes at Mutreph with a kick.

He hits Mutreph but strangely, Mutreph explodes into several pieces.

Mutjack: But what the...?!

Everyone was surprised, so Mutreph wasn't that strong?

Suddenly, Mutreph's burst body goes wild, part of Mutreph's disgusting flesh grabs Mutjack's foot and violently slams him on the hard ground.

Mutjack spits blood.

ErMut: Mutjack!!!

Mutreph's body takes shape again.

He grabbed Mutjack's foot with his right hand.

Mutreph: I'm going to ask you one last time, let me pass before I eliminate you all, for a little preview, you don't stand a chance, with affiliation to my father's chemicals in my body I learned three things, metamorphosis, dematerialization and solidification!!!

ErMut: Solidification? What is it?

Mutreph's body bursts again on its own, letting Mutjack fall to the ground.

The humanoid mutans were surprised.

The ground is invaded by Mutreph's flesh and blood.

His voice then rings out.

Mutreph: what you see now, where I am just a pile of rotting flesh and blood, is what I call dematerialization, my whole body goes into a sticky state similar to liquid, this allows me to slip where I want and take more ground but also to suffer no damage because there I feel absolutely nothing being in a liquid state!!

ErMut swallows.

ErMut: Although all that is very disgusting!!

Mutreph: Hahaha, and that!!!

Mutreph forms behind ErMut who did not see it coming.

Saramut: ErMut, watch out, he's behind you!!!

ErMut turns around surprised.

Mutreph: and that, I call it solidification!!!

His arm hardens, and takes on a metallic appearance.

He hits ErMut with this arm and makes him project himself into the air.

Mutreph: The solidification allows me to hit with a body harder than steel, by also offering me a pseudo armor, I become capable of resisting countless physical or atomic attacks, even the power of 20 nuclear bombs!!!

ErMut about to touch the ground is fished out of the air by Mertana.

Saramut: Mutreph, you're just an asshole!!!

Saramut takes out his sword and heads towards Mutreph.

Saramut: You're going to eat my saber!!!

Mutreph smiles and adds.

Mutreph: then comes this one!!

His body takes on volume, and there he becomes disgusting.

He was swollen and smelled very strongly of rot, flesh that had been rotting for a week or even months, it releases an intense heat at the same time that prevents young humanoid mutants from concentrating.

Mutreph: This is the form that many people know of me, this form is a decomposed body that releases a heat that blurs someone's senses, its heat also produces tingling on the skin, eyes and nose, it also allows me to control the size of my limbs and my body, with all that, do you think my father has a chance against me?!

Saramut was disgusted.

As were the others.

Mutjack: If you think that's going to be enough to make us run away, you're wrong, come on, let's go guys!!!!

The band of humanoid mutants attacks Mutreph all at the same time.

Mutreph is just using his skills to get out of trouble.

Dematerialization when he is about to be hit by an attack.

Solidification, to strike and inflict enormous damage.

Then metamorphosis to confuse them when they finally find a way to defeat him.

For the gang of young humanoid mutants, Mutreph gave the appearance of invincibility.

He didn't seem to have a dead point, it was more and more complicated to fight him.

Saramut turns to ErMut and says.

Saramut: ErMut, I think this is the perfect time to call Team A, don't you think?

ErMut frowns and says.

ErMut: No, I'm going to beat Mutreph all by myself!!!

He rushes towards Mutreph and charges his body with mana which ends up moving into a greenish aura.

He then attacks.

ErMut: Mutreph your magic tricks are only for weak people!!!

He hits and Mutreph dematerializes then materializes further away.

ErMut follows him and chains attacks but the process repeats itself several times.

Mutreph: Oops, I forgot a little point, when I use dematerialization, my body is very toxic, and yes the touch poisons your body with neurotoxin and cytotoxin!

ErMut: Damn, it's not true!!!

Mutreph: Oh yes but that's not all, when I'm in metamorphosis mode too, my smell also emits neurotoxins and cytotoxics that you inhale when you want to breathe, even if you manage to get out of here alive, you risk dying afterwards anyway, it would have the effect of weakening you very quickly so that I can finish it, the more you breathe, the closer you get to death!!

ErMut and Saramut look at each other for a moment and nod at the same time.

ErMut: It's time!!

Saramut and ErMut come closer to each other.

Saramut: You're going to taste our ultimate attack, we'll see if you're still so proud Mutreph!!!

The others had understood the signal.

They all come closer to each other and join their hands in front of them.

Mutreph: Oh... what are you preparing for me there!!

All the young humanoid mutants concentrate energy that they reinforce with mana creating a ball of chaotic energy that makes friction noises in space.

Mutreph suddenly feels threatened.

Mutreph: No, I have to stop you!!!

He runs towards them but too late.

Under this nomination shouted by the young humanoid mutants:

( Enraged ball of destruction!!!)

The ball is released and heads straight for Mutreph.

Mutreph cannot dodge it, he is too close and this ball is as fast as sound.

Mutreph: dematerialization!!!

A huge earthquake follows in city C.

Followed by a gigantic explosion, an explosion so big that team A composed of Sakolomé, Bakuzan, Bakuran, Zeltania and Tanreo turn around to see what it was.

Bakuran: Do you think it's Mutreph?

Bakuzan: I don't know but we should go look!

Zeltania and Tanreo seem to know what's going on.

Zeltania: No, it's not Mutreph, they're my friends or let's say Team B!

Bakuzan turns to Zeltania and asks.

Bakuzan: How can you be so sure?

Tanreo replies to answer Bakuzan.

Tanreo: She's telling the truth, they used the Enraged Destruction Ball technique, however it's not complete, my participation and Zeltania's are missing, it would have been more powerful than that!!

Zeltania nods.

Sakolomé: What do you mean by that? Is it a combined attack?

Tanreo nods.

Tanreo: Exactly, it is very likely that if they use it, they have come across a threat, we should go see that!!
