章 14: Three Grown Golliras

Delvin carefully and gently turned to see what was behind him. Surprisingly, six full-grown gorillas stood staring at him with thirsty eyes.

'Delvin, you are in an extremely dangerous environment, the system predicts fifty percent of survival from the enemy in front of you!' Alerted Skylark.

'Delvin, this is your problem. I will not interfere or help in this instance.' Zauzo said incredulously.

Really? How do you abandon your so-called brother in the midst of danger?

'Oh! So now you remember me as your brother? Sorry I am offline.' Zauzo went and hid in eternal space.

I can't believe this? If I die, you will die too. Shouted Delvin in an angry tone.

'Great another fresh meat for us? I guess we will pile his skull on top of the others. Thank you for coming boy, we have not had a sumptuous meal for a while now!' Uttered the biggest ugly gorilla.

The other five roared, pounding their chests with their fists, ready to pounce at any moment.

That's not fair? Gorillas that can talk? Delvim complained bitterly to Skylark since Zauzo was nowhere to be seen.

'System scans artificially made gorillas!' Proclaimed Skylark.

Damn! Artificial gorillas? This is just perfect.

Delvin already trying to come up with what to do next.

The six gorillas continued groaning and beating their chests, inflicting fear on their prey.

Delvin's chances for survival were very minimal.

I definitely can't outrun them. I just have to face them head-on. Thought Delvin thought.

He made a stance in readiness for a fight. While the six gorillas started encircling and measuring him. Searching for a weak spot to exploit.

'You ugly gorillas, come at me! Why are you behaving cowardly? Are you scared of being sent to your grave early?' Shouted Delvin to provoke them into attacking him, because he needed to be on the defensive side to know what kind of strength they had.

'Pathetic! You think you have a chance to stand against us?' Uttered the biggest of them all.

The five other gorillas roared as they rushed out all at once and leaped up in the sky aiming to break Delvin's neck.

Delvin made a back-flip somersault, the five gorillas collided, fell on the ground and stood up and made a second attempt.

Delvin made a roll on the ground, causing the six gorillas to miss again.

'This poor human is proving difficult. Plan B formation!' Shouted the bigger huge gorilla and roared, 'Attack!'

The six gorillas re-arranged themselves and stood in a straight line when the one in the middle broke out with the super-speed Delvin had never seen before. They groaned, beating their chests and jumped with their two legs and two hands.

When it was about to reach Delvin, it transformed into a flying winged serpent and spit a blueish fire and lit up Delvin in blue frames instantly and flew up in the sky.

Not good! Shouted Delvin in panic as he experienced the severity of fire pains. He rolled on the sand trying to put out the fire.

The four other gorillas attacked with voracious force as they turned into various different creatures. A black scorpion creature was formed by one. It attacked with its sharp, long pointed tail. Delvin saw the attack in time and ducked.

'Ooooh! That was close.' Screamed Delvin and breathed heavily.

Delvin released a punch centered on the throat of the chimpanzee, which had transformed into a monster lizard. The monster lizard deflected the punch with a quick swing of its tail, and gave a counter-attack of its own. Delvin was struck on the chest and flew ten meters away.

'System activating fireproof!' Announced Skylark.

A blue energy encompassed Delvin, putting out the fire and creating a shield.

At the same moment, Delvin felt a razor beam penetrate his chest from his back. The pain was intense and excruciating.

'Aah!' Mourned Delvin.

The huge gorilla was the one who made a sneak attack.

'Strength booster upgraded from 0.5 to 30.0,

Regeneration ability activated and upgrade in progress from 0.5 to 30.0,

Agility upgraded from 0.5 to 30.5,

Eyesight upgraded from 0.5 to 30.9,

Energy bar upgraded from 20 grams to 40 grams.' Announced Skylark.

Delvin did not pay attention to the system updates. Because he was busy dodging strikes and blows as fast as possible.

Automatically, his injured body healed and pain ceased.

The serpent gorilla made a hill turn as it came down and blew a powerful, stronger blueish fire. However, this time it did not stick but bounced back.

The winged gorilla serpent was set on fire and growled. It fell and continued burning till to ashes.

The eight-handed gorilla thrust eight sword strikes aimed at Delvin's neck, belly, chest, and legs simultaneously. Delvin leaped back twenty yards.

The huge gorilla shot his razor beam rifle, Delvin leaped again, and twisted his body in the sky, dodging the blue razor beam, and gave a counter-attack blow and hit the huge gorilla's head, and it fell down bleeding dark green blood at the corner of its mouth.

Delvin then ran to a high altitude of the mountain on the left. When he had reached the cliff, he let go and fell. As he was falling, he shouted, 'Wings out!'

Skylark, activated the wings. Delvin tried to flap his wings and balance himself to fly. He kept falling and fast.

'Relax, Delvin, feel the wind, feel its energy.' Advised Skylark.

'Skylark help please? I will hit the ground any moment.' Pleaded Delvin.

He screamed, 'no!'

He hit the ground violently, with a loud thud. The whole scene was clouded with brownish dust. A few seconds later, he raised his head. Am I not dead?

'You are silly, Delvin.' Skylark laughed out loud.

'You are a new species and the first of its kind. That fall can't kill you nor break any bone in your body. But it has drained your energy. You need to eat enough food. Look out?' Shouted Skylark.

The three gorillas had charged out with sharp long white bones like spears. They were about to stab him all at once.

Delvin evaded by rolling over five times.

The three gorillas kept jabbing everywhere, attempting to strike at Delvin.

When Delvin escaped all their attacks and became free, he stood up, 'Come on! Merciless creatures? Make my life more difficult?'

Prod Delvin, as he was already scampering to the peak of the mountain.

'You will not survive our attacks forever! You will get tired!'

Said one gorilla as they lunged behind Delvin, very voracious like mad hungry lions.
