Chapter 58: 58. Son of the sun (1)
Dexter didn't know what to do at this moment. What he had to do was simple, choose to leave, or just stay and watch as his friends die.
'I'm sorry.' He ultimately made his decision and the others smiled upon seeing this, giving their all to fighting the creature.
Dexter entered the camp to see a lot of people on the floor who were hit by the debris of the building that was destroyed earlier.
Amongst them was Lily who was on her knees while crying in front of a person who had a wound on the head.
Upon closer inspection he recognised this person to be her mom.
Dexter walked towards her slowly before grabbing her hand.
"Come on, Let's go," He said gently and Lily struggled herself free as she began to shake her mother's body.
"You said we will... you said we will see the ocean together, plea...se come back." Lily voice quivered and her body was vibrating.
Dexter could understand the kind of pain she felt as he lost his dad two years ago, but he was not a kid when that happened.
For Lily to even understand what death was at a young age.
"Come on, she would still want you to see the ocean without her," Dexter said with a solemn expression and she looked up with teary eyes and she hugged him while crying into his shirt.
"There, there." He patted her head before looking around the place to find anything useful.
He then found three bikes on top of each other beside a small building and he then looked at the little girl who was hugging him.
"Come on, Let's go." He then took her to the bikes before taking the functioning one.
There wasn't any Keys so Dexter used a claw and twisted the keyhole, starting the bike.
He got on the bike and assisted Lily to get on and then he began driving towards the long line of trucks which were already leaving.
Dexter looked inside to see people with scared expressions, some already crying.
...
*After Dexter went to leave with the others*
Back at where Zain and the others were they were currently not in a good situation.
Leo had only one arm, the other was ripped out and was bleeding.
He shouted loudly as he gripped his shoulder in pain.
"Leo!!" Rina shouted as she saw Leo shouting in pain and she got distracted from fighting the titan.
The titans eyes darted towards her and the scorpion tail shot forward with its stinger.
"Rina!!" Zain shouted from atop the creature and Leo just stretched his hand towards her, still unable to talk.
The pincer stabbed her from behind and her eyes widened as she looked down to see the black stinger in her stomach.
Black blood then poured out of her mouth and the stinger withdrew before the creature roared loudly.
Leo became angry and he just looked at Rina who was already dead, still with a smile on her face.
Leo was enraged, he beared the pain, biting his lips and he gripped his sword's hilt tightly as he then turned to the creature.
His eyes widened when he saw a pincer already in front of him and his eyes widened.
Leo shouted loudly, dropping his sword as he tried to separate the pincer which was about to snap his body in half.
Alas, he had only one hand. The titan threw Leo into its mouth and Zain's eyes widened as he saw his brother and sister die in front of him.
He knew that he didn't stand a chance alone, he then jumped off of the creature and ran towards the shield which was at the edge of the dome.
The scorpion titan looked at him and followed him. Zain changed direction to the side and it followed.
He then spun and waved his axe, sending an arc of flames which could cut anything from earth in half.
The creature blocked itself from being harmed and it opened its eyes to see that Zain was no longer in front of it.
It then turned and saw him at a distance and it shrieked loudly before coming towards Zain.
The shriek reached Zain's ears and he beared the effect of the mind attack and his ears began to bleed as he neared the shield.
He finally reached the shield and pulled it out of the ground.
The creature came closer and closer and Zain smiled before walking backwards, past the dome and staying outside of it.
*BANG!!*
It crashed against the dome but the dome still stood strong. However, there was a small crack on the shield.
Zain used his spirit energy to support the shield as the creature banged against the dome with its giant pincers.
He wasn't sure he could hold it for long, as the seconds passed more and more cracks began to appear on the shield.
One minute...
Two minutes...
Hearing the sound of engine from afar Zain looked to see Dexter leaving the camp.
'He should have gone since! I can't hold this for–' his thoughts were cut off as the shield finally crumbled under the ferocious attacks of the titan.
Immediately the barrier broke the titan grabbed Zain with its pincer and threw Zain into its mouth before clamping down, causing a little bit of blood to spurt out of its giant mouth.
It looked sideways to see a long line of busses leaving and then it's eyes caught sight of the a guy on a bike with a little girl.
It's pincer went to its chest where there was an open wound and it remembered vividly, the one that caused it.
If growled as its eyes began to glow bright blue. All the all the busses stopped in their tracks unable to move and then the creature began walking towards the busses.
...
Dexter stopped advancing as he saw that the busses stopped moving and he felt subtle vibrations on the ground. He looked behind the busses to see the thirty meters tall titan walking towards the busses while growling.
'Damn it.' Dexter turned around and Lily who was behind him looked at the creature with furrowed brows, knowing that it was what took her mom from her.
All of a sudden Dexter stopped the bike and looked back at her.
"I need you to come down here. Make sure to follow the trucks once I free them." Dexter said to her.
"But why can't I fight with you?" She looked at the creature as if it were a long time enemy.
"It's too dangerous." Dexter said and then he drove towards the creature at full speed.
What he wanted to do... was risky. Very risky.
He brought up his screen as he looked at his last resort.
