153 Chaos

After the movie was over Loki was still contemplating some things. It has been a while since he questioned himself. That movie he watched made him remember a lot of things. Even though he had matured since then, he still felt like he could become just the same as the protagonist of that movie.

‘Heh after telling Catherine off about her resolve being too weak I was actually shaken a bit about what I saw. I already knew my ending wouldn’t be good the moment I made my first kill... If not for my promise with Shera, I might’ve continued on as nothing more than an avenger... Still, I wonder should I always be so rigid?’

While Loki was deep in his own thoughts the group was nearing the zoo that had a Gigantes which was its main selling point. It was then that out of nowhere Loki’s group spotted people who were running and screaming. Loki looked ahead and saw a giant monster destroying the nearby buildings. Loki who had seen pictures of it on the internet quickly recognized that this thing was the Gigantes that his group was going to see in the zoo.

The Gigantes that was causing all this chaos was a four-legged creature that was five stories tall, it was also wider than the street which was making its body scrape the nearby building, the Gigantes looked like a giant bear.

It was simply walking through the streets but the destruction it caused was immense. It looked around and started roaring which frightened the normal people even more. Even though he couldn’t see it Loki had already caught the scent of blood in the air. It would seem that there were casualties already.

Some of the martial artists were trying their hardest to save the normal people who were in the Gigantes’s way about to be trampled. Loki started looking around the area finding a route to escape. The moment Matsuri saw the giant monster she quickly called for backup.

“Big brother, a boy and a woman!”

Alisa pointed at a young boy who was crying in the distance. The young boy was near the Gigantes, Loki was also able to spot a woman screaming at the young boy telling him to run away, he guessed that the woman might be his mother. The woman was being pinned down by fallen debris. She and the boy were not in a good position, if the Gigantes were to turn a little bit he would crush the two of them under its feet.

Loki quickly moved his body as he used [Enhancement] on his entire body, unlike before his mana supply had greatly increased and it was already at twenty percent of what it was back in his old world. It might not sound like much, but it was a great improvement.

.....

Loki darted like a bullet toward the crying child and his mother, but before he could reach them the Gigantes was about ready to stomp on the two. Loki pushed his body to the very limit as he strengthened the [Enhacment] spell while dashing with all his might. He quickly got a hold of the boy and kicked the debris pinning down the mother.

Loki kicked the debris towards the Gigantes’s foot but it didn’t even feel it as its foot continued to fall towards them.

“CATCH!”

Loki shouted to a nearby martial artist who looked in his direction. Loki then quickly tossed both mother and son towards the martial artist. Seeing the incoming foot about to reach him, Loki used a spell.

The spell he used was called [Shadow Bind] it was a spell that uses the caster’s shadow and turns it into chains. This was a spell used to restrain opponents, and its strength depended on how much mana was used upon activation. Back in his old world, he was able to restrain a Dragon using this spell. At the beginning of his career, he would use this spell frequently, well until he was able to create a better version which he called [Mana Strings].

Unfortunately, due to his current mana supply, he could not perform the spell [Mana Strings] and even the [Shadow Bind] he released was minuscule and could barely stop the Gigantes’s foot. Still, the few seconds it bought were enough for him to escape from being crushed by the Gigantes’s foot.

“Big Brother.” Alisa and Liam rushed towards his side, behind them there was also Matsuri who looked at him with worry.

“It’s fine, I’m alright. Matsuri have you called for reinforcements?”

“Yeah, I tried calling Captain Tang Ao but he wasn’t answering so I called the police chief instead, and he said that reinforcements are already on their way.”

“How long before they arrive?”

“He said they should arrive in seven minutes.”

When Loki heard Matsuri’s answer he clicked his tongue. Normally seven minutes wasn’t that long but in this situation, it might be.

“Alright, the first thing we need to do is escape and find shelter,” Loki spoke in a rather serious tone, and his demeanor suddenly changed. Matsuri was rather surprised by the sudden change as she nodded her head in agreement.

Alisa and Liam were equally stunned by the sudden change in their older brother’s demeanor. The seriousness of the situation even made Liam who did not like listening to Loki agree with him. Alisa was as equally shocked as Liam but unlike the others, she had a different opinion.

“Big brother, are we really going to leave just like that, are we not going to help?”

Alisa pointed at the other martial artist who were trying to save as many civilians as possible while the others distract the bear-like Gigantes.

As Loki was about to answer her, the sound of multiple roars echoed through the city. Out of nowhere, three more Gigantes appeared each of which was of different species. Seeing the appearance of these three Gigantes some of the more weak-willed martial artists fled.

It was at this moment that casualties started appearing right before their very eyes. Alisa and Liam who saw the people being eaten or trampled on were in a state of shock and horror. Loki quickly picked up the two and started running, while Matsuri was running just right behind him.
