Capítulo 90: Berserking Amro
Chapter 90 – Berserking Amro
*Mew* (Where are the weapons, by the way? I can't see anything useful in combat.)
"It's hiding in the leg frames. I have to enable it from the console."
*Meh* (So complicated! Why didn't they prepare a proper gun or a beam cannon for this!?)
"I think they didn't have enough time to mimic the psionic weaponry, and that hydra interfered their development plans."
Mia operated the keyboard and unlocked the weapon slots. A revolver pistol for standard units was stored inside the mech's right thigh.
Since the revolver was modified to suit the ten meter-mech, it looked like a cricket gun in the hands of Prometheus. Still, the pistol bullets were the 155mm shells, which was generally used as artillery bullets.
*MYA!* (Da hack is this!? Can our robot even pull the trigger? The trigger guard is too small, and the trigger is like a dangling rotting zit on someone's nose!)
"Haiz, let's just treat it as a cricket pistol for the emergency. We'll concentrate on using the saber instead."
*Mrrr?* (Saber? I've seen a sword or a saber anywhere?)
Mia had a wry smile on his face as he took over the handgrip control from Tama. Then, Prometheus pulled a hand-size rod from his belt.
Within the rod, another pseudo psionic engine had been installed. Though Mia had had not charged it yet, its remaining energy should last about a minute or so.
*Meh-Heh* (Aha! I understand now. You don't have to activate it.)
"Ah … ouch!"
*Mrrr?* (What now? Your brain's temperature is acting kind of funny.)
"Nothing. I'm trying to suppress a few idiots in my brain."
*Mrrr?* (Huh? You have something in there?)
"Will you understand me if I say my brain is haunted?"
Mia chuckled as he slowly recovered his past memories. As he controlled Prometheus toward the battle site between Amro and the local troops, several young male voices rang inside his brain.
[You don't deserve this.]
[Give me your body!]
[Die, trash!]
[Murderer!]
Mia's chuckled turned into cackling laughter as he mocked these voices in his mind.
'Ah, I missed you guys. I thought my life was missing something, and now I remember. None of you sick freaks have the right to exist. Wait there patiently so I can digest every single of you.'
[Let us go, Mia!]
[We're sorry! We misunderstood you!]
[I'm not a part of them, Mia!]
'Not a part of them? Then, why did you use your psionic possession on me in the first place!? Stay in there and wait for your turn!'
[NO!]
[WE'RE SORRY!]
Mia laughter continued for another five seconds before he slapped his face, bringing back his banana persona and overriding his old self.
'I don't need those pasts. I have a better life right now. Disappear!'
The voices died down, and Mia's bloodlust subsided. All voices faded as if they never existed.
"Banana is love. Banana is life. If I ever have a wife, it will be a banana."
*Mew* (Mish, you need help.)
"… I know."
...
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
The outer city district had transformed into a warzone as Amro's blasts turned the city into ruins.
Five armored mechs dodged another Amro's instant death laser beam, but the destruction power further plowed the ground, creating another half circle trench.
These five robots were the last units they had. The rest of them had already been destroyed!
Artillery units on the wall had also been wiped out from the instant death gaze.
After the fall of artillery teams, the commander of the army had separated the infantries and armored units into two groups. Each of them was responsible for taking down each head.
However, the team who was supposed to cripple's Amro's head was annihilated, and the plan fell apart.
80% of combat teams had been decimated by Amro's eye power and his endless self-recovery!
Although the situation was grim, Amro revealed a sign of exhaustion as the psychic barrier around him and Krastel weakened.
All combat players remaining on the battlefield were only Dove and Pioneer King. Everyone else had already vaporized and could not respawn because of the raid event.
Dove and Pioneer King helplessly aimed their 50cal rifles at Krastel's head and kept shooting. The bullet penetrated through the monster's brain several times, but he kept regenerating, recovering himself in the next minute.
AR bullets did not work against this hydra's body no matter how many shells they fired. Amro always melted all kinds of bullet heads within his body and regenerated his lost body parts, including Krastel's head.
Pioneer King could not stand these incompetent NPC soldiers. He decided to take over the battlefield with his own hands, "Dove, you take that snakehead, I'll take the human head!"
Dove nodded and dashed toward a surviving soldier team, who were hiding behind a collapsed building.
"Sir! I'm going to mark the snakehead. I need your support!"
"Ugh! If you have a plan, then alright, we'll cover you!" The squad agreed and followed after Dove.
.
*BOOM*
Amro fired another blast, and two mechs were blown away.
The snakehead hydra's breath was rough as he panted. Firing many blasts exhausted him.
"Where is the strong food!? Why did these bugs hurt me?"
Amro was confused. As a young hydra, he lacked the general knowledge about the environment and nature.
Krastel also did not help him much as he was killed several times during the fight, which was dragging Amro down. As Krastel's intelligent was similar to a newborn baby, he could not use his power with his full potential.
Now, both of them were like a young lion facing a pack of intelligent wolves for the first time. They did not know how they could handle many unfamiliar foes at once.
Frustrated, Amro stopped healing Krastel's head and concentrated on fleeing the city, trying to recuperate his stamina.
*BANG*
*BANG*
AR Bullets from Pioneer King entered Krastel's head once more, and they stopped Amro from regenerating his damaged body.
"YOU ARE AN ANNOYING BUG!"
Amro turned toward Pioneer King and fired another blast. This time, the laser beam devoured him and his teammates.
Amro could sense the life force within their souls, but he left them alone as he did not want a weak third head. Devouring them meant that he had to house their spirit as the third head, which was not ideal for him as Pioneer King and others were too weak.
"Weaklings … Hmm?"
As Amro was retreating from the outer city area, a giant red mech caught his eyes. Not only it was taller than the rest of the defending armored units, but Amro could also sense a moderately strong presence within the robot.
"Not as strong as the other one, but this one will do!"
Before Amro could activate his blast against the oncoming mech, his instinct told him to shift his head away from the current position.
Amro tilted his snakehead to the left side.
*BANG*
A bullet trajectory passed the previous position of Amro's head. Had he not dodged it, that shell would have killed him.
Amro turned toward the direction of the shooter. It was Dove.
*BANG*
*BANG*
*BANG*
Surviving mechs regained their momentum and counter-attacked with their rifles. Each of these guns fired several 155mm HE shells at the hydra, trying to stun him.
"AAAAAHHHHH!! ANNOYING!"
Amro gathered all of his power into his eyes. Instead of shooting a straight laser, he activated his blast and maintained the beam particle.
With the beam continued firing, Amro rotated his head from side to side in a half-circle, swinging the eye beam. As if a laser sword cleaved everything in the half-circle path, everything the blast beam went through turned into a sea of fire.
The remaining soldiers were instantly killed with that move. Most resistance forces had been wiped out!
.
Dove managed to dodge the beam by a hair's breadth by laying prone in a trench. However, he still got stuck in the sea of fire. Steeling his heart, Dove ran toward the clear area as he braced through the flame.
'Ugh! Come on, self-regeneration!'
Dove activated the same skill that Misha had, the self-regeneration. Like Misha and other elite soldiers, Dove had eaten a dead queen egg and obtained a couple of skills from it.
His regeneration was slower than Misha, but he managed fighting back against the burning damages on his body.
Soon, he got out of the sea of fire.
'I won't give up! This is not over yet!'
Dove discarded his burning clothes and broken rifle. He turned around and found an abandoned bike.
'If I remember correctly, the hangar is close by. I'll head back there and resupply ASAP!'
Dove took the bike and temporarily fled from the battlefield.
.
Amro panted as he melted all bullet heads in his body once more. Once everything was ejected from his body system, Amro laughed.
"Is that all you've got, bugs?"
Then, Amro glared at the red robot from a distance.
"Strong one, you're next!"
As he fired too many blast shots already, Amro took his time to gather his power, mustering his strength for another fight.
Before Amro was ready, the tall red mech spread its beetle wings behind its back and jumped.
Amro's eyes trailed after the mech unit as if he had locked on it with his visual.
*VROOM*
Behind the red mech, something ignited and propelled the giant robot forward. The robot escaped Amro's eyesight in the next second.
Amro was alarmed as he turned his head around to find his target.
*Ffkrrshzzzvwoom*
A weird electric noise came from behind Amro. In reflex, Amro kicked the ground and brought his body forward a hundred meter.
*VWOOM*
A sound of something swinging behind his back came afterward. Amro flipped his body 180 degrees to see what behind him was, and he saw the same red rhino beetle mech with a lightsaber in its hand.
.
*MYA!* (Don't dodge, damn it!)
"Aim properly, Tama. Our target is smaller than us!"
*Mew!* (It's different than when we fight directly. I'm not used to fighting like this!)
"Alright, I'll charge the engine. Keep it occupied until my skill is ready!"
*Mew* (On it!)
