Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 277: Operation Stall!

How huge? Alex asked with greed in his eyes.

Huuuge! Miles reacted with a smile. Monsters could feed on other monsters cores to increase their strengths. But in rare cases, a mother monster would stash cores to feed its babies with the cores, thus choosing not to consume them.

In this case, the mother was already at High-Tier Frenzy Rank. The cores lower than high-tier had almost no use for it, thus she would keep them for its baby. After all, a baby would be born weak. If lucky and had good genes, the baby would be born at Frenzy-Rank, if not could even be Grunt-Rank. For its baby to get stronger, it was normal for the mother to keep low-tier cores that had almost no use for her. Yes, these cores would, most of the time, be lower tier than monsters, they were still too valuable for Miles and Alex.

There would also be orbs. Monsters couldnt consume orbs, nor had any use for them. Although technically, they too could make use of orbs, most of the non-humanoid monsters werent smart enough to do so. They couldnt find the exact output required to charge the orbs, thus no monster ever spotted using an orb. Most of the time, they would be left at some corner in their lairs. It was the same for Ice Dragon Miles who went hunting. Because Ice Dragon had hunted hundreds of humans before, it was highly possible for its lair to be filled with orbs.

For some unknown reason, monsters wouldnt drop orbs when killed by monsters, and would only drop cores. But monsters would mostly hunt hunters and stash the orbs they found on their prays bodies.

What Miles saw in the factory was cores bundled at some corner. When Miles activated energy with elemental energy, his vision changed. Although at first, he didnt understand what it was, later he realized it was an energy vision. When covered with energy, his eyes evolved and new abilities were born from his eyes. Miles could see energy moving in the monster's body and saw how the attack formed. It was thanks to this vision, he was able to see hundreds of cores piled up at some corner of the factory.

Still, that monster is high-tier. We cant kill it. Alex shook his head.

Not necessarily. Miles smiled and explained his plan in detail. When he finished, Alexs eyes were wide open, and he nodded his head profusely. That can work.

Good, then lets get to work, Miles said and left with Alex to prepare.

When the sun fell once again, Alex with the Starmap following behind him walked into the city and started to walk towards the factory. The Starmap was already fully charged and lightning was cracking on its body. There was also a lightning aura around Alex amplifying his abilities.

Hey, fatass. Bring your ugly face here! Alex shouted as he walked to the factory.

ROAR!!!

The monster roared from inside, and not later wind blades cut through the hard concrete and arrived at Alex. Alex nimbly dodged them and shouted again. If you think these will hurt me, you need to think aga But before he could finish, a whirlwind 5 meters in diameter left the factory and arrived in front of Alex. The suction was so strong, Alex hardly stepped out of its range.

He cleared the sweat formed on his forehead and smiled. Now that was something, but it is not enough! With it, he charged a lightning lance and threw it towards the factory. But before it could even approach, a white monster appeared in front of the lance and bit it to pieces. Alex looked at the white-furred bear at least 10 meters in height, his pupils dilated to the limit.

The bear had sharp claws black in color. There was a scar on its face, while wind wings on its back. It was gnashing its teeth at Alex, as a giant wind sword was forming on its back. The sword was at least twelve meters and it was getting bigger and bigger. When it reached 20 meters in length, with the swing of the bear's paw, it flew towards Alex.

Alex was already covered with lightning, as he hit the ground and vanished from where he was standing. The attack was too dangerous to even play with, let alone defend. He crisscrossed between buildings and tried to slow down the attack but the giant sword was an attack unleashed by an angry mother at high-tier. With its full glory, it cut through buildings as if tofus, and kept on following Alex.

The mother bear was still watching Alex with a glint in its eyes. It was still at the entrance, havent taken a step out. It was looking at the Starmap fixed in the air. When Alex was about to get hit by the giant wind sword, the Starmap vanished and appeared near Alex. He stepped on his ultimate and got off the ground.

When the bear saw the Starmap summoned to its master, he finally took a few steps away from the entrance and approached Alex who was floating in the air. The wings on its back werent for show and allowed it to fly in the air. Bear was still watching the entrance, but it was determined to kill Alex all the same.

Alex, who was riding the Starmap, was much faster and could evade the giant sword without any trouble. He flew toward the bear and attacked with lightning attacks. At first, the bear wanted to dodge them, but because of the factory behind it, it could only take the attacks head-on. If any of the attacks accidentally hit its baby, it would kill it.

Realizing the field is unfavorable for it, the bear tried to force Alex further and further away from the factory. Alex with reluctance written all over his face, withdrew while attacking.

The bear was faster and stronger than Alex, so he used buildings as cover and hid between them while attacking from time to time. Bear also moved the giant sword and tried to catch up with Alex. Bullets of wind, daggers of wind, and whirlwinds aimed for Alex to slow him down, but on top of his ultimate Alex was too fast to be caught.

The bear roared, and suddenly a green wind left its mouth. It went to the giant sword and covered it. When covered with green wind, the swords speed increased to a new level.

Shit! Alex cursed silently, as he accelerated to escape. Sword was moving a lot faster after the green wind covered it. Is this an ultimate? He thought in his heart, but he didnt have time to inspect yet.

How long has it been, Vaaja? He asked.

Only 40 minutes. His wristwatch answered.

Almost there. Alex sped up and tried to lure the monster a little further, but suddenly the sword and bear stopped at the same time. There was a deathly expression on the bear's face as it looked at the factory. There, Alex could hear a whimper. The bear started charging towards the factory, while green wind left the sword and covered its body.

The bears speed was faster than the speed of sound, as it traveled, it created explosions in the air. Alex, when he saw the bear returning, cursed. Miles, it is coming! He shouted but the bear was ever faster than his shout.

Miles, who was in the factory, heard the explosions in the air, and couldnt help but tremble. When he was preparing, the baby bear came and tried to climb on his back. Miles placed the baby away from himself, but how could he know the baby would whimper when Miles didnt show love?
