The Neverseen chanted and rhythmically shuffled their feet, sounding like an ocean wave breaking on the shore. It also had the effect of gradually moving the entire mob toward us. My focus had to be on the big baddie coming down the middle of the street, so large and hideous that it was sucking air into it with enough force for me to feel the draft. But I was also worried about becoming enveloped by strange and determined enemies.
âSo far we havenât been able to do much damage,â I said. âIâd like to call it a stalemate, but I think this thing might just be big enough to swallow one of us whole.â
âI volunteer not to be eaten,â Elise said.
Agitated, Brecken moved closer and closer to our line like he was going to get in front of us. âI donât think this is the time for jokes.â
I could see his nervousness, and as much as he didnât like it, I thought he was the type of person who felt obligated to be in the thick of the fight even if he clearly had less effective armor and weapons. The man had a large rifle, but it required a lever on one side to chamber each round. If our fully automatic HDK rifles werenât having an effect, I couldnât see what his weapon would do.
âHannah, Bugâthe two of you are going to have to step up. You donât have weapon skills, but you have armor. Watch out for our hosts and shield them if you can. Especially from the mob that is surrounding us,â I said.
âOf course, brother,â Hannah said.
Bug made some kind of joke, but I ignored it.
When the Neverseen monster roared, I could feel it even inside of my armor. There was a smear of light that I suspected was it opening its jaws and ruining part of its concealment effect. The huge beast pushed off the ground and charged.
âX, whatâs the chance my armor can withstand its bite?â I asked in a rush.
âItâs coming!â Elise shouted, firing her weapon into its flank.
âReaper Cain, I strongly advise against this course of action, X-37 said. âI estimate its bite strength to be sufficient, if it catches you at an advantageous leverage point, to bisect you with or without your armor.â
âSo, there is a chance it will hold.â I sprinted forward.
âWhat are you doing, Reaper Cain?â X-37 asked.
âIâve got an idea.â
âFamous last words.â
I picked up speed, closing the remaining distance. Despite what Iâd just said, my timing was off slightly. I did a stutter step, waited until it roared again, and then lunged into its jaws. Maybe I wouldâve felt more confident if I could see it clearly enough to accurately gauge its size, but it was time to get busy with this thing.
I sprung into the air and crashed into its teeth, grabbing its upper row and driving one knee into its lower mandible. Something horrible happened then, something I hadnât expected. Its tongue battered me like an enraged python on a suicide mission.
