"I will take you to my WORLD."
"And I'll leave you WITHOUT WORD."
"Can't you see?"
"(Y/N) is nothing for me."


(Y/N Pov)


"(Y/N)! You alright?" Scout came over to me as I heard stomps getting near

"I'm fine... Don't you talk to W, ever... She just left behind her grunts like that..."
I got up, still dazed as I slowly got on my feet

"Come on, we still have another problem on our way."

"I know... Urgh."

"HWAAAAA!!"

A male Operator screamed as the monster stood with his iron arm ready to maim him.

"Ah, shit!"
I quickly get my bearings and ran toward the Monster-

GRAAAGH!

CLACK!

Puncturing its chest, I completely stopped its massive hands from falling onto the poor man's head.
"Out of my way. You big tall bastard!"

I grasped my arm to control the chains, flinging the monster away, and sending it a few feet back.
Should've used my chains instead of running here!

"You okay?"

He nodded whilst shaking heavily.

"Don't worry, you can go back now."

I conjured another chain in my palm, holding it firmly.

'Best I could do is buy time for the others... Maybe.'

The male operator ran back toward the group, the monster still on the ground as it shook.

HUMMM

A loud hum emitted from the monster's back. It slowly got back up on its feet, breathing heavily and looking at me.

'...It wants me.'

'And that's great! NOT!'

It walked toward me, its eyes locked onto me.

ROOOAAGH!

Disgusting!

I quickly used my chains to throw my chains around its body, it quickly slithered around its body-

"Ngh!"

It didn't work?! My chains!

I tried to make them tighter, noticeable black spikes were starting to grow out of my chains again, the same thing that happened earlier.

It bled, and my hands too. But it did not stop thrashing as it walked faster-

FWOOM!

HARGH!

A black projectile strikes its head, staggering the grotesque monster in its tracks,

"(Y/N)!"
Amiya ran behind me, conjuring a black orb in her hand.

"Amiya!"
That's a relief!

"You think you could distract this thing a bit? I want to try something VERY risky."
I asked her in a hurry, my chains starting to distort, for some reason.

"Better not do something stupid, (Y/N)."
Dobermann arrived beside me, she whipped the ground preparing for battle.

"I won't! Not sure if it will work."
I slammed the ground with my palm, the chains embedded in the ground firmly,

"Sorry!"

"Huh?!"

I ran past the monster to the building, rushing in as I started to walk upstairs.
