Chapter 26: Another General
Sometimes they used firearms to attack. Although it didn't work because it couldn't penetrate the Cyclops' bodies, it could help disrupt their concentration.
One of the three young officers even had a laser gun that constantly fired a laser every time he pulled the trigger.
It was quite useful as it could perforate the bodies of the Cyclops that were shot even if it did not penetrate their bodies.
Their skills were also quite good, showing that they earned enough money to buy expensive skills.
The three officers, for example, had Class A Skills. Yeah, even though the Class A Skills they bought were actually just Class B Skills.
Of course, they were far compared to Oliver. To kill a Level 3 Cyclops for example, they needed many attacks.
Oliver thought one attack from him was enough to slaughter the 30-plus Cyclops they faced.
"Looks like they were deliberately sent out on an expedition," he said in a low voice as he looked at the row of cars behind them.
"Yeah, there's probably a Monster Boss around here!"
His instincts told him that. He then looked at General Dragozilla Shadow and said, "Get those humans out!"
As he said that, he jumped down from its shoulder.
The shadow monster immediately stood up upon receiving the order and jumped towards the horde of soldiers.
ROAR!
It roared loudly at them, almost making them fall down in shock. Even those Cyclops were instantly frightened as they sensed its power above them.
"What is this?" The soldiers wondered.
"It looks like Dragozilla, but why is its body made of shadows."
While they might not have met Dragozilla, they clearly had a lot of information about the different types of monsters that appeared since military members like them could communicate with each other with other teams.
"Damn, General and Level 7!" It seemed that they had also gotten information about that Shadow Dragozilla General from the System.
It was still a monster in the end despite coming from Oliver's skill.
Xiu! Xiu! Xiu!
The young officer carrying the laser gun fired at it while it parried with its bones that were also made of shadow.
The result was quite amazing. The lasers could only scratch the shadowy bones.
The soldiers began to panic so they started attacking recklessly. They even fired their guns at the Shadow Dragozilla General relentlessly, to no avail.
"We must retreat!" The young officers leading them finally realized the gravity of the situation.
When they decided to retreat, they simply turned and ran, not using their cars.
It seemed they realized there was no time to get into the car. Escaping was easier as the monsters tended to stay in their territory.
With no more soldiers, Oliver ordered the Shadow Dragozilla General to slaughter the Cyclops, with the help of the other Shadow Dragozilla following them.
With the general in charge, it was easy to slaughter a horde of ordinary monsters.
One by one, they died with their bodies dismembered, leaving the ground littered with pieces of flesh.
It was a sight that Oliver found very uncomfortable to look at.
He finally sent a small fireball there.
The fireball then exploded into a huge fire, covering the entire ground and burning the pieces of flesh to ashes, making the environment clean even though the ground became black.
After that, he finally showed himself, jumping onto that black ground which was surprisingly hot due to the fire marks.
"Did that general not show up?" He wondered as he looked around.
However, after that his eyes opened wide.
How could he not, there was suddenly a palm from under the ground holding his feet.
It was the size of a human hand, full of coarse fur, gripping his leg so firmly that he thought he couldn't escape it.
Just when he thought he was in serious trouble, the earring in his left ear emitted purple light all over his body, coating it so that it looked like he had extra skin.
Slowly, the light pushed the palm open.
He finally smiled as he said, "don't you think it's that easy!"
Shua!
He leapt into the air and the ground beneath him was finally revealed, revealing the figure of a Cyclops that turned out to be only human-sized.
Its form was no different from other Cyclops except that it did not carry a mace.
DING!
(Level 8 Cyclops with Monster General status!)
The System revealed its identity.
It really was the Monster General.
It seemed that the South Sea Queen's theory was completely correct that the Monster General would appear when he slaughtered a large group of monsters.
Aooooo!!!
It roared with a ferocious voice despite its small body.
It pointed its hand at him and the ground around it began to fly.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
They flew towards it at high speed, and became very hard, like rocks. No, they really had become rocks.
Even then they became bigger.
'So this monster has this kind of skill, instead of relying on physicality, no wonder its body is small,' Oliver thought.
His eyes shone as the stones became closer to him. Now he was interested in using his Primordial Azure Dragon Bone. It was suitable for competing with those stones.
ROAR!
A terrifyingly loud roar echoed from within his body as he activated the skill to its maximum.
One by one, bones appeared around his body. The difference with the bones from General Dragozilla Shadow was that they were transparent gold in color.
Because of that roar, the Cyclops General's body was made to tremble, as if it shook its soul.
As more bones appeared, they began to fuse together, forming an enormous dragon figure that was up to 10 meters tall and nearly 20 meters long.
Oliver's level was still low, but the power of his skills could not be compared to anyone else.
