Chương 4: Unknown Mission

Once Tilda got its attention, she raced past the port and tried to get it to follow her. Tilda knew that fighting in this area with all these people here would only cause more damage. Tilda was strong, and she knew that this monster would not be a challenge for her to kill on her own. She was an A ranker, and the monster only looked like a Disaster Class beast. There was no need for her to call for reinforcements.

Slam! Slam! Slam!

Roar!!!

The beast roared in anger as it slammed its way past multiple containers to try and get to Tilda, but no matter how fast it moved, it just couldn't get her! Even though she was barely moving at her top speed, she was just too fast for it to catch! Once Tilda saw that the monster was far enough from the citizens, she stopped luring it away and quickly turned around.

Phwoom!

Shink!

The beast didn't even know what happened because at one moment it was trying to slam its way through some containers to get to Tilda, but at the next moment, its arm was missing!

The beast screamed in pain as it slammed its body against one of the containers and fell to the ground! The beast couldn't understand what just happened, and it looked around to see where Tilda managed to attack it from. Tilda was standing on top of the opposite container with the beast's hand in one of her hands. Her sword was dripping red blood, and she had a vicious grin on her face as she raised her hand up mockingly!

"Are you looking for something, you fat fuck!?"

Roar!!!

The monster roared in anger as it saw Tilda with its arm! How dare this human mock it! There was no way it would allow her to live!

The beast knew that this is not what it was supposed to be doing here. Its mission was to find the boy and bring him back to the leader, but the monster couldn't forgive this woman for what she did! It would first kill this woman, and then it would go and get the boy!

The monster could only think in its own way as it charged straight for Tilda again. There was nothing else on its mind other than the thought of killing Tilda. The monster just couldn't understand that Tilda planned all of this from the very start. Tilda knew that mocking the beast would only make it angrier and that way it would make more mistakes, and she would be able to kill it easily.

Tilda dashed straight for the beast again, and her sword gleamed in the sunlight as she leaped over the beast's strike. She slammed her feet into the ground and jumped high enough to slam her feet into the beast's face.

Crunch!

The ugly face of the beast turned even uglier as blood flew everywhere from Tilda's hit. Tilda didn't allow the disgusting sight to stop her, and she immediately turned around and used the heel of her boot to hit the beast on top of its head!

Slam!

The beast roared in pain as Tilda's boot left a deep gash on its face, but the pain wasn't enough to make it fall. Tilda's eyes widened as the monster grabbed her by the ankle and threw her against one of the containers.

Slam! Slam! Slam! Slam!

Tilda slammed through almost ten containers consecutively, but she managed to right herself just at the right moment as she heard a loud roar from right above her. She looked up in shock, and she saw the monster with its arm raised as it came down on her.

Boom!

The monster slammed its fist into the ground, destroying the concrete floor for almost two hundred meters in all directions. The monster raised its hand up for another hit, it was shocked as it didn't see Tilda's torn and broken form under its hand. Where did she go!?

Stab!

Roar!!

The monster immediately roared in pain as a sword was stabbed through its right ear and into its head! The monster grabbed onto Tilda and threw her to the ground before holding its ear in pain and stumbling to the side as it lost its balance.

Tilda's back slammed into the ground, creating a deep crack that tore into the ground, but she was able to simply get up and roll her shoulders as she didn't feel much pain from the hit at all. The monster was in too much pain to think about really hurting her so its throw was weak.

The monster noticed Tilda walking towards it with her sword held beside her, and it knew that it was going to die there! At this moment of clarity, it suddenly realized that it had made a big mistake by choosing to fight! This isn't what it was supposed to be doing right now. It was supposed to be looking for the boy and sending a message back to the leader!

Twoom!

The monster immediately sent out a large-scale pulse from its gills in a last-ditch effort to try and finish its mission before it died! If it died here, then there would be no point in its life! But if it completed the mission first, then everything would change!

The large pulse surprised Tilda, and she immediately put her hand up to her ear as she anticipated a sonic attack of sorts. But she was surprised when nothing happened to her. She brought her hand down and looked at the monster that had essentially given up as it was resting its back against the containers. There was blood leaking from its ear, and whenever it tried to get to its feet, it would stumble and fall back since it didn't have any balance. Tilda could tell that she had won this battle. The monster was screwed.

Tilda moved in to finally finish the monster so she could go and complete the meeting that she came to City A for, but she was shocked when the monster suddenly sat up straighter! Tilda couldn't really explain why, but she could tell that there was an excited look on the monster's face, and she was creeped out by it immediately. What in the world could make a monster look like that?

He is here! The boy is here!

The monster's entire body was vibrating in excitement as it repeated this phrase inside its head over and over again! It could sense the boy here and their search was not in vain! It had to get this information to the leader!

The monster looked towards Tilda, and it knew that Tilda would not let it escape from here, so it had to come up with another means of getting the information away to the leader! Its body started to vibrate, and Tilda charged forward immediately she noticed that it was becoming bloated and fat!

Tilda didn't know what was happening, but she knew that she couldn't allow the monster to do whatever it wanted to do. There was probably something she was missing here, and she would try to think about it later, but for now, she had to kill this monster no matter what.

"Bwooohhh!!!"

Twoom!

The monster released a large shout as its body continued to enlarge until a strange creature shot out from its back with a strange sound like a water cannon! The creature shot straight towards the sea, and before Tilda could even think about killing the creature, it had already entered the sea and swam away from them.

Tilda could only watch in slight fear as the creature shot through the water like a torpedo, going towards an unknown place. Tilda couldn't even run that fast if she tried to so she knew there was no chance of catching the creature. Where was it going, and what was it trying to do?
