Chapter 608: You got that right [1/2]
The entire soulless army stopped firing at that moment. Henry, Sabel and Alfonso didn't show any mercy, so it must have been their mother. But I didn't care.
'Exa, I want it dead.'
[Yes, my lord].
Burger's 30mm cannon restarted and began to shoot the Alpha in the face. I could see cracks appearing on its huge head. With no legs or limbs, the bastard began to flail its tail like a fish.
While Bella's lurking missiles all stopped their attack after one turn, mine didn't. All the Switchblades under my control dived once more to sever the reptile's tail.
The sound of fifty drones suddenly racing downward was something else. And the fact that after they exploded, Fries simply launched them again was icing on the cake.
The wanton destruction that followed was music to my ears.
{STOOOOOP! IT HURTS! I WEAK! YOU STRONG! I FOLLOW! MERCY!}
Yes, despite their pleas, I didn't stop. I could feel my girls' emotions of worry and discomfort making their way toward me.
If I had been smart, talking to an Alpha who knew the concept of surrender or subordination would have been fruitful. But I wanted this fucking bastard gone.
To make sure no one misunderstood what was going on, I replied to the monster with {Interpret}.
"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF CRAP! YOU THINK A FEW WORDS ARE ALL YOU NEED TO LIVE? FUCK YOU! I DO NOT CARE WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE! YOU HURT MY HAREM! I WANT YOUR LIFE!"
{MERCY! I FOLLOW! I PROTECT HAREM! I SERVE! I SWEAR! MERCY!} the monster continued to beg as it was devastated by my UGVs.
Everything outside its head had already been blown to smithereens. But despite the amount of explosives, the head remained intact.
If anything, the survivability of this cockroach was astounding. Its oversized head was like a fucking wall. No wonder it remained intact after I blasted it with the mini-gun.
Even a 30mm cannon barely made a few cracks.
Since it was still alive, I wondered how I could kill this thing.
'FUCK! Just how can I murder this bastard? I need a bigger gun.'
However, in the next second, my link felt a pleasant sensation slowly enveloping it. Like a soft breeze on a sunny day, my anger and irritation melted away under its gentle caress.
'Beloved... it might be wise to subordinate this monster. It's not undead...perhaps we can reason with it? Please?'
'Dearest, perhaps we could keep it as a pet? The ability to absorb {Fates} is amazing. Just my two cents. Maybe we can make swords out of its scythes or something'
'BUTCHER IT OPOSSUM! CAN I HELP? MWAHAHAHAHAHAH! Maybe hitting it with a tank would work?'
'Darling! Can I please keep Alphy? I promise to feed him and take him for walks, promise! Pretty please?'
'Mr. Code, we can learn a lot from him, maybe we should give him a second chance? If you allow it of course...just a suggestion...not like its a once in a lifetime chance or anything.'
'Husband, it is not like you to lose this opportunity to learn from it. But I can understand wanting to see this monstrosity dead.'
Your journey continues at My Virtual Library Empire
'Shujin, the words of a monster have no value. I support your decision to kill it. But it would not hurt to hear what it has to say.'
Like women of the highest caliber, my girls all lined up behind me, but remained silent. They all used {Rewind} to restore their clothes, removing the sweat, dust, and grime of battle.
It was a damn shame, because I liked to see them sweaty and flushed. Unaware of my lewd thoughts, the Sirens tried to offer advice.
Except for Robyn, everyone wanted to either tame, enslave, or interrogate the champion class monster before slaughtering it. Which made sense; anyone who has played summoner games knows how OP beasts can get.
But despite the logic and validity of their words, none of my girls forced me to make a decision. They suggested, but never demanded. This simply told me that, regardless of what they believed, I was the head of our family.
They made me feel valued. That my word mattered. Such subservience only served to make me fall even more in love with them.
Most men wanted such authority not out of ego, but out of love. After all, men were expected to protect. We wanted to lead our families because we were responsible for them.
The current boss bitch movement was all well and good, provided men were not expected to clean up after it. Women were free to be their own bosses. But once they did, they were expected to be accountable for their actions, just like men.
More than pleased with their actions, I sent waves of love and adoration to the Sirens. It was adorable that the moment I did, the girls all made cute yelps.
They must have been caught off guard. After all, just a short time ago, my link was drowning in bloodlust. In truth, little harm was done to me and my harem.
Though I died three times and my girls were injured, we all returned to perfect health. If anything, the amount of souls my girls and I earned from this battle was substantial.
Not counting the loot. So technically, we gained a lot and lost nothing. But the thought of letting this thing survive pissed me off.
"Exa. Let's do what Robyn suggested."
[I-I...Nevermind...I understand, my lord.]
Probably realizing what I was about to do, Burger stopped firing and the Fries stopped reloading the Switchblades. Suddenly there was silence.
The sudden silence would unsettle anyone, especially when there had been loud explosions just seconds before.
I walked towards the Alpha. Burger followed me at a slow pace. When I was right in front of it, I heard the annoying sound of something skittering from the Alpha.
{I am alive? I LIVE! I SERVE! YOU STRONG! YOU KING! YOU RULE!
I OBEY!}
"If you can survive a hundred blows... then you live."
{Huh?}
'[Overload] [Berserker]. [Vengeance].'
[[Wizard] setting shifting to [Berserker]. [Berserker] levels up to [Lunatic Berserker].]
[[Sniper] setting shifting to [Berserker]. [Lunatic Berserker] levels up to [Primalist].]
Burger then approached me and lowered his gun barrel toward me. I grabbed the barrel while continuing to cast {Fates} to make the Ripsaw even tougher. Excited, I took off my jacket and tie.
'{Shelter}, {Withstand}, {Endure}, {Block}.'
The [Berserker]'s body setting was better than the [Knight]'s in only three things. The ability to withstand pain, the ability to carry objects, and offensive power.
Using the turret of the Ripsaw as a handle, I picked up the microtank and raised it like a club.
"I am going to hit you 100 times with this club. If you are still alive at the end, then we will talk."
{WAIT! MY SHELL WEAK! IT BREAKS! I DIE!}
"So? Do I look like I care?"
"BROOOOOOOOAARR!"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
Bracing my body, I slammed my legs to the ground and brought the Ripsaw M5 down on the Alpha's head. Like a nail to a hammer, it made a small indentation in the floor.
A monstrous twang sounded. It was like hitting a church bell next to your ear. But I couldn't help smiling.
A low whine came from the gigantic head in front of me. It was as wide as a long table, with eyeballs the size of a car tire. But the head started to shake every time I straightened my body.
"HAHAHA! Well done, only 99 more to go. Don't die," I said with a grin.
{STOP! I WEAK! YOU STRONG!}
"You got that right you fucking bastard, have another one!"
The Ripsaw's turret only lasted about five hits. Even with all the {Fates}
I threw at it, the metal itself twisted and snapped.
{I HURT! MERCY! I SERVE!}
I then used the threads as handles until they snapped, then the chassis until the armor broke apart. The turret came next, until finally my ripsaw shattered into tiny pieces.
Like a dutiful son, Alfonso quickly lined up all three of his Ripsaws as replacements.
"60 MORE! ARE YOU STILL ALIVE? HAHAHA!"
