Triple X System-Chapter 202: Defiant lieutenant

"Damnit!" Wheeler grunted, in his adamantium form. The thick silver liquid, coating his whole body. Adding and extra layer of protection.

"Roar!"

The abrupt roar snapped him from his trance, as a green skinned dargon lunged forward at him. Barring it’s sharp cannin teeth, going in to chomp it’s head.

’clang!’ A loud clang sound was heard, as it’s teeth collided with wheelers steel head. A look of shock flashing before the creature’s confident eye’s. Feeling it’s jaw bit an unmovable steel wall. It’s teeth clattering to the floor like dices.

"Die." Wheeler coldly said. His fists clenched tightly together, making his throbbing muscles bulge.

Swinging it fast, he punched forward at the dargon’s chest. The beast was able to keep up with Wheeler’s movement just fine. Catching his fist strike head on.

"Wrong move~" A creepy grin spread across Wheeler’s lips, witnessing the low intelligence of such creature.

’Bam!’

What followed after the collision was a bang sound. The dargon’s hand recoiling back, dislocated from Wheeler’s casual punch?

’Growl.’

Stumbling some steps back, it growled in pain. Feeling his arm go numb from that strike, bone snapping sound erupted with a dislocated shoulder.

"Who sent you!?" Wheeler asked with a cold glare, causing the green skinned dargon to slightly shiver.

Not answering, the creature charged forward at wheeler. Swiping it’s massive sharp claws in an vertical slash at his head. Shaking his head a bit, there was a look of annoyance planted to Wheeler’s face.

’Bam!’

He caught the dargon’s strike with one arm, using his leg to forcefully stomp the creatures toes. Causing it to shriek in pain, it’s toes crushed to pulp by thus human.

Not stopping wheeler pulled down to the dargon’s inactive arm. Bone crunching sounds were made along with the squelching of flesh being torn apart.

"Ro-"

"Shut up!" Wheeler frowned, headbutting the dargon’s mouth. Cracking it’s elongated jaw, depriving it of the ability to growl or scream in pain.

Only wincing in irresistible pain, defenseless as this human severed it’s arm. Green blood gushing out like a fountain, from the empty arm socket.

Staring at it, Wheeler’s eye traced the hardened green scales. They were similar to that of a mythical beast with wings. No doubt stronger than linder, the most durable metal present in the kingdom.

"Seems like you’re not all useless afterall~" He flashed a sly smile, making the dargon’s blood to run cold. Placing his hand to the creature head, he squeezed hard.

Ignoring the low growls and wincing in pain. Crushing the dargon’s head like a mushy fruit, staining the ground with green blood and brain juices.

"L- luitenant wheeler!" A voice called out, an he could see two space guards. Male and female approaching him.

’What a monster.’ Lucuas silently thought observing the fight. Which seemed more like an onslaught than an equally matched fight.

The luitenant hadn’t even put in much effort, avoiding the beat attacks. Ending the fight not only fast, but in the mist gruesome way.

"What is it?" Wherler frowned, an annoyed look etched to his face.

As a noble and one of the luitenant’s of higher ranking. He was proud and cocky, with actions to justify his egostistic nature.

Earning him a well respected and feared place in the kingdom. Just after ona, Troy’s right hand and commander of the force.

’I’ll get my revenge soon.’ He growled in a low tone, barely audible. Similar to a whisper, carried by the wind.

He detested individuals without class or prestige in the society. Deeming all below him as inferior, even holding grudges against his few superiors.

"I apologize for interrupting luitenant but the beasts are starting to retreat." Lucias informed with a composed face. Earning a raised brow from wheeler.

"Retreat? What nonsense are you spilling boy. Beasts don’t retreat, they attack. Because their mindless savages." Wheeler scowled not believing Lucia’s word one bit.

After the sudden happening with ona and that strange soace guard. He’d decided to retreat back to the kingdom. To regroup and find the mysterious individual, thereby clearing his name.

It was a daunting task considering the individual in question was as stealthy as night. Whuch made him wonder if such person possesed a high stealth skill.

But he was confident in his tracking skills, judging the guard wouldn’t have gone far within a short timespan.

But, unfortunately... A new threat emerged from the skies. With the dawn of this towering spaceship. Raining down these unkown beasts, like plaugues to the kingdom.

"We weren’t certain at first sir, but when we attacked. The beasts they didn’t retaliate, opting to make a run for it." Layla butted in with a serious expression.

Placing his hand to his chin, wheeler thought of something.

"And which direction where they headed in?" He asked with a stern gaze. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"South, luitenant. Towards the teleportation bay." Lucuas relayed making his breath cease slightly.

’Shit. So this was their plan all along.’ Wheeler grunted, having a bruef idea what these beasts planned.

’These one’s intelligence are like that of a rock so they couldn’t possible come up with such idea.’ He thought knowing the green skinned dargon’s were just mindless beast of presumably lower rank.

Acting upon impulse and making rash descisions without any coordination.

"Which means the boss is probably up there, issuing out the commands." He friwned, looking upwards to the spaceship which was now moving towards the teleportation bay area.

"Let’s go! They’re trying to destroy the teleportation pad and ground us in place." Wheeler ordered to which both Lucia’s and Layla nodded.

Taking a step, the ground beneath them suddenly rumbled.

’An attack?’ wheeler thought already preparing for the worst.

Though the dargons descended mainly from the spaceship. It wouldn’t come as a surprise if the launched a sneak attack underground.

’Boom!’

A huge explosion occured behind them, a mixture of golden lightning was released at the castle. Destroying the two metal doors stationed there. Disassembling a large portion of the stairs connected to the entrance.

"What’s going on up there?" Wheeler wondered knowing full well whom that attack came from.

’Troy~’

Judging from the rate of the blast, he could tell troy just like he had predicated the plans of the enemies. And had decided to destroy the spaceship, but stopped at the last moment.

Making him wonder what obscene foe required troy’s full attention.

"Move." He said in a commanding tone. Walking forward, towards the kingdom partially destroyed from the wave of attack. Bodies of both dargon’s and humans layed on the floor. Some missing limbs, drowned in their own pool of blood.

’We were too late.’ layla clenched her fist tightly, holding back the urge of her emotions.

During the first wave of attack, yhe space guards stationed to the kingdom wasn’t large. Considering nothing of such invasion had presented itself over dozens of years back. Leading to the low security here.

But still they’d fought with valor and vigor. Not caring about their own safety, facing iff against the dargon’s. Which skin proved a headache against their beam cannons.

But they still persevered, refusing to give up. Sacrificing their own lives to save others, greatly reducing casualties to a minimum.

"They won’t want us to brood over them but avenge their deaths." Lucia’s softly uttered, reading Layla’s mind.

"You’re right. Sulking won’t get us anywhere." She stiffened her will against sniffs.

Sighing Lucia’s eyes trailed down the bodies of families, brothers, sisters, sons and daughters. Caught up in the dargon’s attack.

His gaze lingered on a little boy with two pair of wooden swirds in his hand. Drowned in his pool of blood, his lower region missing.

’Bastards!’ Lucia’s cursed through clenched teeth. His nails digging into his palm, from how tight he clenched his fist.

It was a cruel and cold world, which he was well accustomed to. But still, it didn’t justify the deaths of innocent lives.

’Bang! Bang!’

The ground shook slightly, as some figures descended from the crowd. Their skin’s bore a darker shade of green, while their eyes flashed a cunning intelligence.

’Their stronger than the previous one’s.’

At first glance, wheeler could tell they were more powerful than the previous dargons.

"There’s more?" Layla frowned, at the emergence of some of the lighter green skinned dargons.

"Handle them or die." Wherler instructed, disappering from spot. Already engaging in a fight with the 6 dark green skinned dargons.

Nodding, Lucia’s and Layla aimed their beam cannons. Firing off a torrent if beasts to the dargons. They were caught in a crossfire unable to advance, leaving them to defend.

"Growl!"

Two of the 4 green skinned dargons roared in pain. Collapsing to the floor dead from the hole potruding out the back of their head.

’So that’s their weak spot.’ A light smile formed on Lucia’s face, obtaining such crucial information.

Testing his theory he instructed layla to aim at their heads. With a sharp nod the directed all blasts to the dargon’s head. Their thick skull unable to handle such onslought of beams giving out with a pop sound.

"Luitenant wheeler! Their head, that’s their weak spot. Aim for the head!" Lucia’s yelled to, his face going pale seeing wherler had already killed 3 of the 6 dargons.

’Bam! Bam! Bam!’

Wheeler’s fist connected to the dargon’s body, using his air fist skill. These scales were surprsingly tougher than the lighter green skinned. Making air punch damage greatly reduced.

’Bang!’

He was sent skidding back a punch to the side if his head by a dargon.

’impressive.’ Wheeler commented, spitting a mouthful of blood. His arms transforming into silver sickles, elongated to about 4 feet long.
