Chapter 112: Glen x Karin, teamwork
The other faceless humanoids saw that one of their kind had been killed; they all immediately rushed at Glen in a frenzy, but before they could even reach him.
BOOM!
A red mallet suddenly appeared in the air in front of them and struck down, ground in front of them exploded, sending the three faceless humanoids into the air along with shattered stones.
While still in midair, Karin jumped and smashed one of the faceless humanoids with her mallet like a baseball, sending it flying in Glen's direction.
Glen instantly zipped past it, and the faceless humanoid turned into multiple pieces; it had been shredded by Glen as well.
The remaining two humanoids landed a few meters away before running toward the two again, one jumping at Glen while the other jumped at Karin.
Karin moved to the side and dodged, letting the faceless humanoid land on the ground before swinging her mallet at its legs.
BAM!!
Karin's mallet smashed into the right leg of the faceless humanoid ruthlessly, instantly breaking it as it bent in an unnatural position with its flesh raptured through which a bloody bone stuck out.
The faceless humanoid was sent flying after by the force of the hit and crashed into the ground, creating small craters on its way before smashing into the side of the wall and making a wide crack in it.
It was yet to recover from the hit when Karin appeared in front of the crack, her mallet raised high above her head which she brought down with speed.
BOOM!!
The crack on the wall deepened, and blood splattered out from under the mallet; the faceless humanoid had died tragically.
While Karin was finishing up, Glen wasn't any slower.
When the two faceless humanoids had jumped at them, Glen had flashed toward the one that aimed for him instead.
Like an agile Snake, Glen used the body of the faceless humanoid to maneuver in the air before slamming his tail on its back like a piece of log.
Bang!
The hit was brutal as the skin on the back of the faceless humanoid instantly burst open after taking a whipping from Glen's tail.
It fell toward the ground at an even faster speed and crashed face-first; Glen dove down and landed on the back of the faceless humanoid, causing more damage.
A split appeared on the blank face of the monster through which blood gushed out. It tried to turn, but a white claw suddenly gripped its neck from behind.
With a low grunt, Glen ripped off the head of the monster from its shoulders before tossing it to the side like garbage.
His lips formed into a vicious smile under his helmet as he turned to face the monster that had closed up by now only to find out that its four minions that it had summoned were really dead.
It let out a scream before suddenly bending forward; its arms suddenly stretched out like ropes that shot toward Glen and Karin; the speed of its arms was incredible.
Glen reacted on time thanks to his new form, he was able to twist his body and dodge the palm of the monster before rolling away.
Karin wasn't able to move so fast but it didn't mean that she had no means of defending herself.
Stomping her feet and causing a small crack in the ground, she brought her mallet in front of her, and Nexus energy burst out from her arms, enhancing her grip on the mallet.
BAM!!
The palm of the monster smashed into the mallet with a loud sound; Karin gritted her teeth as her knees buckled, and she was pushed back but stopped after just moving three meters back.
She had successfully blocked the monster's attack.
Seeing that its attacks had failed, the monster recalled its arms, which began to retreat like vines, but how would Karin and Glen just allow that to happen?
With a speed so fast that he turned into a white shadow, Glen flashed to the side of the monster before hacking at its arm with his claw.
Multiple white claw marks appeared in the air as Glen clawed at it madly, sending pieces of rotten flesh and green liquid flying into the air.
"Ahhh!" The monster let out a high-pitched cry from having its arm shredded by Glen; it tried to attack him with its other hand when…
Bang! Crack!!
A sudden force smashed into its other shoulder, it turned its head over and saw that Karin had appeared beside it while it was distracted by Glen and had blasted its shoulders off with her mallet.
Leaving a bloody mess there and its entire arm lying on the ground.
Enraged, the neck of the monster twisted like that of a snake before suddenly snapping at Glen but Glen dodged it and caused the monster to bite nothing but air.
It became more furious; its entire body suddenly began to swell, and its skin made bubbling sounds as if water was boiling; it was about to explode.
"Get away from it!"
Glen shouted and instantly moved away from the monster, Karin didn't need Glen's reminders and had already jumped away the instant she saw the monster's body double in size.
Uncaring if the two were still there, the monster's body continued to swell as countless blisters appeared all over its body. It was a very troubling sight to see, they could even see the liquid jumping inside the blisters; they were literally boiling!
This continued for 10 seconds as the monster soon reached an enormous size, a massive body of folding rotten flesh covered in large blisters; and like a balloon that was popped by a needle, it exploded.
Paow!!
Pieces of flesh and corrosive green liquid spattered, covering a distance of twenty meters around the monster and causing every rock in the area to melt after it was touched by the green liquid; even the ground wasn't spared, the green liquid melted craters all over the ground.
Karin's eyes widened while Glen's eyes narrowed as they stared at the center of the explosion where the monster was standing before.
A totally different kind of monster was currently standing there.
It looked just like a faceless humanoid made from hardened bones. It was the height of a human and stood on two slender but athletic legs and long arms that ended with five long and sharp fingers.
It looked just like a robot with the face of a middle-aged man!
"Grheeee!"
The monster opened its mouth, and steam came out as it made a low growling sound before lifting its arms and making a gripping motion with both fingers; it turned its gaze and stared at Glen and Karin.
It suddenly shot forward, disappearing from their sight.
"What the…!" Karin exclaimed in shock, she wasn't able to follow the movement of the monster with her eyes.
Swoosh!!
A gust of wind suddenly blew against her face from the side, and she quickly turned around; her eyes widened when she saw that the monster had appeared beside her and was about to attack her.
She quickly brought her mallet in front of her even when she knew that it wasn't going to be fast enough to block the monster's attack, which was a powered-packed punch.
With eyes still widened from shock, Karin saw Glen in his partial transformation form suddenly appear in front of her and send out a punch of his own to meet the monster's fist.
Clap!!!
A thunderous sound echoed when both fists collided.
The ground below Glen's fist shattered as he struggled to hold his ground, but he was only able to do so for two seconds before he was sent flying; he flew past Karin, who was in the process of swinging her mallet.
Since Glen had appeared on time to help her block the monster's punch, Karin had changed her mallet swinging pattern from blocking into a slam; she was surprised to see Glen fly past her in the middle of her attack, this angered her and she increased the force behind her slam.
BOOM!!
The mallet crashed into the body of the monster like a nuke, its body bent backward, and its feet left the ground; the monster flew away like a loose arrow, creating five air blasts midair.
It smashed into the village, crashing through multiple buildings before crashing into the wall on the other side of the village and causing a massive crack to form on the wall.
Ignoring the monster, Karin turned to where Glen had flown to and wanted to go help him only to see that the young man was already up on his feet.
Some of the scales on his right knuckles had cracked, and Glen was currently fixing them with Nexus energy, but this didn't prevent him from witnessing the scene of Karin smashing the monster away like a ball.
"Damn, that's one crazy swing!" Glen remarked after reaching Karin.
The girl ignored his remark and asked if he was ok first; after all, he had been sent flying like a broken kite as well and had even created a human-shaped crack in the wall.
"Yeah, I'm good. My transformation is stronger than you think" Glen said easily.
The both of them quickly went to the other side of the village to look for the monster, they had to finish it first before anything else.
