Chapter 343: Regret nothing. [2/2]
This was why Lilly was so frightening. She retrieved every round she has fired in her subspace. From my own combat experience, I knew that things that enter the subspace keep their state.
Food did not spoil for one. Explosions that come in still kept their power until taken out. I even made {Booster} from that concept. So, what about bullets?
[Father, Aunt Lilly, the effect of the {Honey Trap} soulgears are about to end. Please prepare to engage the brunt of the horde. Reinforcements are already on the way.]
\'Shit this was bad, if we suddenly have to face hundreds Lilly and I will be overrun.\'
Lilly slowed down before stopping. I naturally stayed with her. She then ordered out loud.
"Blue, Orange, Red squads form a battle line on my position."
I didn\'t notice how she talked to the others, but similar to how my GRI changed to a communication device hers must do the same. I changed my guns back to the FT5 and the HCAR as I got ready.
At that moment I then heard the groans of a thousand footsteps change direction.
[{Honey Trap} soulgears have ceased functioning, returning for resupply.]
However before the horde could disperse. I suddenly saw three projectiles fly towards the clump of zombies at breakneck speeds. A second later, two sets of three explosions resounded.
[Switchblades have successfully reduced the enemy numbers.] Sabel reported.
I smiled as the ruthless efficiency of my AI children. Lilly also commented as we waited for the zombies to charge towards us.
"The children are merciless as usual. We can\'t let them do all the work now can\'t we dear?"
"Yeah. Here they come Lilly."
Before the smoke from the Switchblades antitank warheads cleared, zombies began running towards us. I placed the FT5 scope over my eyes and aimed at the tallest Bigfoot I could see. I simultaneously fired the HCAR from the hip.
I then felt a huge amount of soul come from behind me. But I couldn\'t spare the attention to check. Using two different weapons and aiming both already consumed my entire focus.
After I was able to ensure all three of my rockets landed successfully, I lowered the FT5 from my shoulder to check behind me.
Twelve small {Portals} were flanking Lilly and I, and out of all of them came 7.62 NATO rounds en mass. The firing rate of the rounds were as fast as the M60. It seems Lilly found a use for all the rounds she collected.
\'Wouldn\'t be Lilly be a one-woman army at this point? She was currently firing 7,150 rounds a minute, or the equivalent of thirteen M60 machine guns!\'
Dumbfounded I looked at my lover who made a mischievous smile.
"Dear, you need to keep up otherwise I would be the star of this show."
Despite there being only two of us, Lilly and I were able to prevent the incoming horde from overrunning our position. Once the {Honey Trap} soulgears could be used again we would be in the clear.
Thinking that I needed to do better I resumed unloading lead into the incoming horde. The lack of anything above Rank F, was probably the work of the other Sirens.
Just then a bright flash came from the west. It was like a blessed round but much brighter.
"[DOUBLE DAMAGE]!"
The sound waves and a sonic boom arrived seconds later, I turned and saw Liv on the shoulders of what looked like a rank E Giant. As if executed via guillotine three of the monsters had their heads vaporized by Liv\'s attack.
The two remaining Rank E\'s were being scaled by Vela\'s wolves as they unloaded their weapons into the monster\'s faces. Jo on the other hand was rampaging around them taking care of the small fry.
Before I could even process the amazing feat, a shadow then passed by us. Despite it being night the little light available made a huge difference so when it got darker, I noticed instantly.
"Shadow? What the hell is tha…"
My words got stuck in my throat as I saw a small white-haired girl running on air. Her hands were over her head as she carried something heavy. It was the Howe & Howe Ripsaw MS2. Otherwise known as Alfonso\'s micro tank.
The tank was supposedly 4.5 tons. I could carry things below two tons using Robyn\'s {Fates}. If like Liv and Lilly the original owner of the {fate} could use it much more effectively. It would explain how Robyn was carrying the Tank 80 feet in the sky.
"POSSUM! YOU SEE THIS? HEHE IT GETS BETTER!" Robyn chirped in excitement.
Lilly had an annoyed expression on her face as she stopped firing.
"This washboard Loli is just ludicrous as always," she complained with a pout.
Almost everyone around us was dumbfounded by Robyn\'s antics. Smiling, Robyn then leapt above Alfonso with lithe movements. She then kneeled with her hand touching the tank.
"[TANK]. {Carry} cancel. {Pack} cancel. {Ascend} cancel. Do me proud you little shit."
[Yes, Aunt Robyn.] Alfonso robotically answered.
If a tank that high up in the air were to fall, it would be no different from a meteor. With [Tank] Alfonso himself would endure the damage, but the impact of his fall would still destroy the area around it.
Robyn then performed a handstand as she placed her feet into the air.
"[SKY WALK]! [BATTERING RAM]!"
Like a bullet, Robyn suddenly increased in acceleration as my Aussie stomped on the air to run towards the ground. She practically thrusted the Ripsaw like a medieval bulldozer. Less than a second later, a massive collision made the ground shake anew.
Lilly and I were able to maintain our balance due to {Carry}. But the zombies were all knocked on their asses. Well, that was for the ones far from Robyn. The ones near her were not so lucky.
In her area there was only shattered earth and rivers of blood.
The dust still lingered in the air before I heard Robyn\'s favorite line.
"HAHAHA! THAT WAS FUN! FIRE IN YOUR HOLE!"
M26 grenades flew at breakneck speeds as they blew apart clusters of Zombies. The sounds of a mighty engine soon followed as Alfonso barreled towards us. The MS2 was firing as it reversed with Robyn on top of it.
When she ran out of grenades Robyn pulled out her Mac-11\'s and began to rain lead. It was only at this moment when the rest of the other squads reached our positions.
"John, your women are really uhm…something," Scott commented with a aghast face.
"And I thought the cartels were crazy. Those pendejos look like toddlers compared to the Sirens," Santiago added.
Claire knight then slapped the backs of both men as she scolded them. "Guys, get your squads into position already! Hi Patron, lovely day!"
I nodded to Saint with a smile before I heard Lilly call my {Kismet}.
"{Accept}."
A small portal appeared a few feet away from her. Out of the doorway came out Bella, Aki, and the MAARs.
"Minerva-san, its time," Aki noted.
Bella then gazed behind her as she pouted.
"Tsk. The rest of the army can\'t keep up. For the time being this is as close as we can get I guess."
"Perhaps, we should force Ishtar-sama to evolve? If its her she should create a new {Fate} that solves the problems with {Portal}."
"Nah, that would be unfair, and Honey would hate that."
"I\'m sorry my {Fate} is not up to your requirements then you two," Lilly replied miffed.
"Oh, shut it VoidspaceVagina. Without Honey and us, you would still be using a fake {fate} like a chuuni."
"I AM NOT A CHUNNI! YOU COW BOOBED INGRATE!"
I could barely hold it in as the girls insulted each other affectionately. Bella and Aki gave me a small kiss before the two lined up by my sides.
When the groaning of zombies once again rushed out of the cloud of smoke, my girls and I greeted them with hails of lead.
