Chapter 89: Just what is he?! [Chapter 90]
Chapter 89: Just what is he?! [Chapter 90]
The bullets just knocked onto his skin and created a slight cut kind of injury on his skin.
Harry rubbed his eyes again and again. Even the soldiers were dumbstruck. Just what is he?! Even the sniper bullets they put on couldn't put a dent on him?!
The soldiers felt their worldview turn upside down. They always felt that they had the best weapons! But now... The weapons they felt were the best couldn't even properly injure the beast!
Harry immediately panicked. Seeing the immense power of the beast, he realized that they had to end this battle quickly, or there will be a great number of deaths on his side.
Harry immediately shouted, "Use the explosives! Shoot it with the machine guns! Do anything and everything it takes to kill it!"
The beast turned towards them and laughed loudly. Some of the soldiers felt shivers go through their spines at this action of it.
The soldiers immediately rushed into action as they brought the machine guns out of the trucks swiftly and started shooting at the beast.
The beast walked forward slowly as if the bullets that were being shot at it were insignificant.
It cackled and taunted, "Is this all you have? Why are you shooting peanuts at me? Atleast your last attack made me feel slight pain."
The soldiers did not give up their attempts at killing the beast and started throwing their bombs continuously. The continuously occuring explosions hurt the monster and it shouted out of pain. The soldiers still did not relent and continued throwing their bombs until it engulfed the beast in flames.
Soon, no sounds came from the inside of the blazing fire, and the soldiers thought that the beast was dead.
They stopped their continuous onslaught of bombs and saw the beast fallen on the ground without any skin covering it at all among the fire.
The soldiers burst into cheers, celebrating their victory, not bothering about the nauseating scene in front of them, when Harry interrupted them by saying, "Don't celebrate too soon. It may be alive for all we know."
------------------------------
The beast turned to look at the soldiers and saw them bringing out various black things.
It felt immensely angry at them for trying to hurt it and started heading towards them, when the soldiers lifted many black things towards it and tiny metal thing started hitting him.
The tiny metal things looked smaller than the ones that hit him previously and caused damage to him. He felt ticklish all over his body due to the metal things that were hitting him now. Now that he thought about it, they were the size of peanuts, weren't they?
He laughed mockingly and said, "Is this all you have? Why are you shooting peanuts at me? Atleast your last attack made me feel slight pain."
Just when it mocked the soldiers, a round thing, around the size of a ball flew in the air and fell near his legs.
The beast was about to mock them again at their foolish attempts when the ground shook and fire engulfed it.
It felt it's skin burning and shouted out of pain. But, it's skin was tough enough to resist fire, and thus it survived.
It cursed in it's mind and swore that it would kill the soldiers as brutally as it could when it got out of these flames.
Just when the first explosion's effects reduced a bit, the beast smirked angrily.
'This must be the best weapon that they have! They thought that one such explosion can kill me, did they?! Now I'll kill them brutall-', it's thoughts were interrupted by another explosion, as the flames engulfed it again.
This process lasted for quite a while, after which the beast just wanted them to stop. It just wanted this gruesome experience to stop!
It fell to the ground as the skin near it's legs had been burnt thoroughly.
It couldn't even shout as it had no more energy left. But, the soldiers still did not stop.
The beast only had one thought in it's mind, 'Just who are the beasts? Me or you?'
At one point, the beast lost conciousness due to the pain that soared through its body.
The soldiers only stopped when they were low on explosives.
The beast's skin had melted by then and it was a pile of flesh at this point. It had already died long ago.
But the soldiers still did not stop. Upon hearing their king's declaration, the machine gunners and snipers littered the pile of flesh with holes, not bothering to check if it was alive or dead. They had a lot of bullets anyway! Why give the beast a chance to recover?
Harry nodded with happiness. The soldiers were improving. It was good to have a cautious spirit.
But then he had a worrying thought. He asked Pluto, "Hey Pluto, how strong can the beast like form that the clone turned into be considered as? Taking the witches and demons into scale, of course."
Pluto thought about it for a while before saying, "The beast could be considered equal to a high level witch or demon."
Harry asked in a voice filled with hesitation, "And how many high level witches and demons are there?"
Pluto paused again and said, "Around a hundred high level witches and two hundred high level demons."
Harry felt a headache coming up and said slowly, "Doesn't that mean that deaths of my soldiers is inevitable if I go head on with the witches and demons?"
Pluto nodded. He said, "Deaths are inevitable Harry. It's how many people die that matters. If you plan your invasions carefully and can weaken the enemy greatly, then there will be very less deaths that would occur on your side."
Harry then asked, "Couldn't I just nuke them all?!"
Pluto laughed and said, "You could, but there are three problems. First, nuking the kingdoms will kill all the innocent people, and the high level witches and demons may survive. Second, there are many hidden masters among the witches and demons, and it would give you a headache if they all become hell bent to kill you because you caused a massacre. Third, there is a myth that the demon and witch kingdoms have a protective barrier, protecting them from sky based attacks."
