Reborn as an Evolving Space Monster: Harem Of Otherworldly Beauties Chapter 142: Death...?!

Chapter 142: Death…?!

The Giganto Zilla pointed with its tail, having found a new playmate.

“No…!” Roka muttered, as the Giganto Zilla shot straight at the Tsero Crystal.

How the Tsero Crystal would react this ti, none could tell.

Roka’s gaze quickly moved towards where the Paru had been standing seconds earlier.

He was nowhere to be seen.

‘So he took cover.’ Roka noted, as she turned back towards the Tsero Crystal.

The Commander didn’t move.

Hiding behind the crystalline pillars would be aningless, as they would easily be pierced or cut through. Being behind one might even be worse, she thought, as the structure might collapse, burrying her.

Instead of moving or watching idly for the Tsero Crystal’s reaction, Roka raised her sniper rifle, and aid for the Giganto Zilla’s eye.

Bang!

Roaar!

Bull’s eye.

‘I can’t let it take it back in again. That’s the most important thing. If the energy keeps duplicating… At worst, the energy might be duplicated by a hundred… Or more! If a hundred or more of those streams are shot everyti and that the Giganto Zilla gets its fill after each round…!’

The Tsero Crystal reacted.

The Commander’s eyes widened, realizing that she hadn’t been thinking logically. That she had been too focused on the worst-case scenario.

The streams ejected by the Tsero Crystal hadn’t touched her. They didn’t seem to have touched the Paru either.

And just as importantly,

Grrrowl!

They hadn’t touched the Giganto Zilla.

“Ha…!” Roka’s lips curled up nerveously. “I guess… We haven’t completely lost then.”

The Giganto Zilla growled terribly due to its eye injury, and the number of Tsero charging at it increased.

From the Tsero Crystal, seven streams of energy had been ejected.

Four them pierced through countless Tsero.

Three others missed completely, ending up being shot upwards, at the sky and dark clouds.

Realizing that lightning might, therefore, striked sooner rather than later, Roka took into her hand the device she had used on the previous Giganto Zilla.

“I can at least make sure that lightning doesn’t hit you again!”

As the air electrified and the dark clouds circled around, all within the area could feel tingles on the surface of their skin.

Roka could even feel her long and red hair start moving upwards.

She pointed the device towards the Giganto Zilla while the latter growled, pointing its tail upwards.

“Take this…!”

Roka felt her heart suddenly drop as, the mont that she clicked on the switch, a Tsero stood in the way, hiding her from the Giganto Zilla, blocking it completely.

The crystals on the Tsero’s back lost all of their light causing it to collapse against the ground, suddenly exhausted, while lightning struck the Giganto Zilla.

“Fuck…!” Roka cursed as the Giganto Zilla, straight away, pointed with its tail.

She had expected it to aim for the Tsero Crystal again, which would have been a huge problem.

But the Giganto Zilla didn’t. Because it was in no hurry.

The Giganto Zilla’s priority was getting rid of anything that could get in its way. Getting rid of anything that could cause a problem, anything that could stand between lightning and itself.

For having shot at its eye at a critical mont, the one that the Giganto Zilla pointed at was…

The pointy and sharp end of the Giganto Zilla’s tail stared at her, and Roka felt waves of different emotions crash over her. Fear, icy and paralyzing, gripped her heart, freezing her thoughts and rendering her completely immobile. Her life was hanging by a thread. A thread that the pointy end of the Giganto Zilla’s tail was about to cut.

Anxiety coursed through her veins like wildfire, her heart pounding so loudly that she could hear it. Then, it got even louder… So loud that she couldn’t hear it anymore.

In that mont, countless thoughts flashed within her mind. The cursed mission was coming to an end.

She let out a sigh. Or, at least, felt like she had. The Paru managed to hide, she thought, that’s good enough.

She had co here alone in the first place. It was right for her to be the one to die.

She was the Commander. From the beginning, it was wrong for her to be the one to survive.

Roka shut her eyes. There was nothing she could do.

The speed at which the streams moves is too much, even for her. She had seen those streams move many tis by now.

Once shot, it’s over. Many of the crewmates who listened to her orders had died by this very sa attack.

Roka remained with her eyes closed, ready to accept the end… When she felt a hand lay on the back of her head.

Her surprise didn’t last long. She wished she had been touched like that in the past. Gently, and softly.

Now, she was going to die… Which is why she was hallucinating being touched that way. Or, perhaps, she had already died.

She was pulled closer, and her forehead connected with his chest.

Roka opened her eyes slowly.

The Paru was hiding her completely. She couldn’t see anything beyond him. Not the Giganto Zilla, not those accursed Tsero, nor the sharp end of the tail that had been staring at her.

For a mont, ti seed to have co to a standstill.

She stared at the Paru’s face. She was slightly frowning.

Why was he standing there? Was he going to protect her by putting his body on the line? Was he going to sacrifice himself for her? There’s no way. Why would he even do that? But… What else could it be?

It’s backwards in the first place. It’s a woman’s job to sacrifice herself for her man, not the opposite.

Her… Man?

Roka almost chuckled at her racing thoughts, which, at so point, started to seem like they weren’t even hers.

A mont later, the Paru’s face started disappearing, and so did the front side of his upper body.

His hand moved away from the back of her head, and her brows furrowed further.
