I Became A Zompirewolf Chapter 287 A Strange Reaction (2)

Chapter 287 A Strange Reaction (2)

"What are these creatures!" A Giholo exclaimed in his screeching voice.

Their attack on a primitive civilization was going just like they had planned. But all of it went wrong when suddenly a group of weird four-legged creatures appeared on the battlefield. Judging by their frail appearance, it seemed they would be easier to kill.

But they were wrong. These bloodthirsty creatures were anything but weak. The beasts tore through their comrades as if they weren't afraid of anything or anyone in front of them. Not even a G.o.d's presence would scare them.

In a desperate attempt, the Giholos tried everything they could to put a stop to them. However, no matter how hard they tried, they weren't able to take the wolves down.

It wasn't because the Giholos couldn't kill the wolves. Their desperation was simply the result of their incapability to destroy the creatures completely.

They would 'kill' the wolves and their wounds would simply heal and they would continue their charge against them. From whatever information they had gathered on their last visit to the planet, there was no mention of the existence of such creatures anywhere.

The Giholos wanted to finish off the battle in an instant so that they could look for their 'Holy artefact' that was lost somewhere within the region they had attacked. That was the reason why they sent an advance party to subdue what remained of the earthlings so that they could excavate without being disturbed by anyone or anything.

It was supposed to be a walk in a park for them. Regardless of what they thought, the Giholos could never antic.i.p.ate the level of resistance these earthlings had shown. It was quite infuriating and shameful for them but praiseworthy at the same time. For once, the invaders were on the back foot.

Had they known what these creatures were capable of, they would have tried negotiating with them rather than trying to trample them. However, it would seem it was a bit too late to negotiate anymore.

"Should we retreat?" Siclo, one of the privates under the advance squad asked their captain.

"And do what? This is our one and only chance to subdue these impudent morons." Giglaw, the captain, yelled back, "Retreat is not an option. We have to fight to the death."

Giglaw might have said that, but every atom of his body was screaming at him to run away. However, being a Giholan male, he knew he would be killed the moment he stepped his foot back on the mothership without accomplishing his mission.

That was the reason why even though they were getting ma.s.sacred, he couldn't retreat and forced the soldiers to do the same. Even though the blood of their comrades was splattered all around them.

"They might seem united, but once their leader falls, so would they."

Giglaw informed his soldiers of his plan on open comms. It wasn't like the earthlings either have the technology or would know their language. So, it was a simple tactic of not wasting their time and using open frequencies to convey his message.

Siclo was smiling, finally, they had a plan of action. But soon his smile faded away as his head got blown away. Giglaw got covered in his war brother's blood and gore. But Siclo wasn't the only one who died there.

Following Siclo's death, the rest of the squad was obliterated in a similar fashion. Until only Giglaw remained on the battlefield surrounded by the wraith wolves.

'A sniper?'

Giglaw was scared to move. Not because of the wolves, but because of the one sniping them down. It was a weird feeling, being terrorised by someone who belonged to a civilization that remained unnoticed by the rest of the races.

Crushing them should have been a piece of cake, and yet, they were struggling like they were the ones who were being invaded.

"I heard you wanted to take me down." Ashton walked up to Giglaw while he stood there, embracing silence like never before.

Giglaw was stunned. How come the earthling was communicating in their language? No matter how long and hard he thought about it, nothing came to his mind.

"How do you know our language?" Giglaw asked.

"I know a lot more things, to be honest." Ashton smiled, "Now since I'm the one you're looking for, you should probably reveal your plans now. What are you doing here?"

,m Once again Giglaw chose to remain silent. The earthling might give him a painless death for telling him what he knew. However, the ones on the mothership above, wouldn't be so kind. If he betrayed his kind, death would become a distant dream. Something Giglaw would yearn for, but would never get.

"Do what you want, Earthling. I'm not someone who'll betray his kind." Giglaw proudly replied.

"I was hoping you would say that. I shall dispose of you and your... friends now." Ashton smiled before taking off his gloves.

Since these Giholos were the last ones remaining who invaded Livan, Ashton decided to burn them all in an instant. That way, he would have more time to prepare for whatever the Giholos had in store for him next.

But the moment the stone embedded in his arm was revealed, Giglaw fell to his knees. At the same time, the firing from the 'mothership' halted as well. Attacks all around Livan ceased immediately as the Giholos surrendered their weapons and went to their knees as if they were praying or something.

"What the h.e.l.l is going on here?" Ashton asked Giglaw who didn't reply but began slapping and punching himself.

[I told you not to reveal the crystal, didn't I?]

"I vaguely remember something along those lines..."

[Yeah well, I was expecting Giholos to act out, but I never expected them to act out like this. Look at this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, punishing himself for talking c.r.a.p to an apostle.]

"Apostle?"

[Seraph was hailed as a G.o.d by them. At least that's what it seems and the reason for the Giholos to be here might be related to Seraph's crystal that's yours now. Thus for them, you're like a messenger of G.o.d- Something's not right.]

As Astaroth said, the Giholan mothership was shot down. In its place, a dozen or so completely different ships could now be seen. Ships that were way more advanced than the ones used by the Giholos.

[Ashton... HIDE!]

"What's wrong?"

[XYRANS! They are here!]
