Chapter 253 – Wrath of the Green Scorpion Giant
Lieutenant Benjamin:
“Fire Burst!” I shouted, unleashing blazing flames from my hands toward the monstrous green creature. The battlefield was a chaotic nightmare, and this abomination, a grotesque mass of intertwined vines and slimy algae, was wreaking havoc, hurling wagons, cannons, and even soldiers with its relentless tentacles.
“Focus on the plant on its back!” a soldier yelled, prompting a hail of arrows aimed at the grotesque parasite that appeared to control the beast.
“GRRRR!” The monster roared in fury, violently whipping its tentacles around like massive whips, toppling everything and everyone in its path. The giant carnivorous plant on its back reacted, snapping its razor-sharp teeth and emitting a sinister sound that seemed to drive the creature into an even greater frenzy.
“Target the plant! That’s its weak spot!” I shouted, intensifying my flames to hit the parasite. The heat scorched parts of the creature’s vines, and some started to burn, but its resilience was unnerving.
The creature, now partially engulfed in flames, charged at us, its tentacles lashing out indiscriminately. Soldiers screamed as they tried to retreat, but the monster’s speed made dodging impossible.
“Wind Mages! Push it back!” I commanded, and gusts of wind magic formed barriers, temporarily forcing the creature to stagger backward. Yet it was clear that this tactic would only buy us a little time.
I kept firing fireballs, aiming directly at the plant. But the parasite moved with unsettling agility, shielding itself and making direct hits difficult.
A guttural roar echoed across the battlefield, and I instinctively turned toward the rear line. What I saw made my blood run cold.
“More of them!” someone screamed, their voice trembling with fear.
A horde of infected soldiers was advancing. At least a hundred. Their bodies were twisted and mangled, overrun with vines and tendrils. It was as though they had fully surrendered to the parasitic green plague.
“Hold the line!” I shouted, but my voice was almost drowned out by the chorus of terror.
“Ahhh!” A soldier nearby was grabbed by one of the monster’s tentacles. He screamed desperately, his eyes pleading for help as the creature dragged him closer.
“Help me! No, no, please!” he begged, but his cries were abruptly silenced when the monster completely enveloped him, crushing him and feeding him to the carnivorous plant. The sound of bones snapping echoed chillingly, and blood spilled as the parasite seemed to relish its meal.
A shiver of horror shot through me as I watched what happened next.
The infected soldiers began throwing themselves at the green monster as if willingly offering their bodies to the abomination. Tentacles lashed out in all directions, connecting to the soldiers and absorbing them.
The creature started to grow. It was grotesque and horrifying. With each soldier it consumed, its form swelled, and the carnivorous plant on its back expanded, its jagged teeth gleaming ominously. The monster was now colossal, its roots spreading across the ground like a living plague, suffocating everything in its vicinity.
“This is impossible… this is a nightmare!” someone muttered beside me, as I desperately tried to muster what little courage remained.
That thing was no longer just a creature. It was a living calamity, and we were moments away from being consumed by it.
I thought, frantically
“Understood, my lady,” Martha replied, launching herself with her spear toward the mud-armored woman, ready for battle.
Margie, with a sharp smile, quipped, “Looks like I’ll need my gardening tools to take care of these pests.”
I let out a quick laugh, bracing myself for the fight.
“Let’s go!”I shouted, and my Soul Golem roared as it charged toward the colossal beast, kicking off the brutal confrontation ahead.
