EPS 15: Destroyed Villages Part (2)

[Master over there.].

Camilla's expression changed. He did not hesitate to close his eyes and spread his psychic power around him. Instantly, he discovered thousands of life signals.

"This is ..."

"Mom, what happened !?"Riota asked innocently.

A serious expression appeared on Camilla's face. "My son is surrounded. There are about a thousand monsters around us, maybe even more. Tito, I need the exact numbers."

[Master, I have detected 2456 life signals, and more are coming in.]

"My son, let's go."

Riota nodded. He held a gun in his hand and followed his mother through the rubble of the village.

Even after knowing the number of enemies, Riota remained calm. He was not affected in the slightest by the fact that the enemy had surrounded them.

As someone who survived in the hell known as the Land of Exile, Riota had lost count of the number of life and death situations he faced. Even if he knew he would die in the next second, he would not lose his composure.

Plus, she realized that despite the urgency in her tone, Camilla was also relaxed. It seemed like this number of enemies was nothing to him.

And in fact, for an S-Grade ESPer, numbers are meaningless.

"Tito, report the situation." Camilla.

Tito floated beside her. [The monsters are rushing towards us. ETA: Two minutes.]

"good. Find me the best place to face them."

[ Understood. Turn right now. There is a small hill 200 meters away.]

"thank you. Let's go, Riota."

"Yes, mother."

After climbing the small hill, Riota and Camilla understood the gravity of the situation.

Monsters of all sizes and shapes rushed towards them. The monster's red eyes glowed with the sun, and their ferocious appearance made them look as if they had been starving for months.

As a scientist, Camilla quickly realized something was wrong.

"Well, why don't those monsters attack each other? I thought we were facing a herd, but most of the monsters were from completely different species ... Bloating, is that normal?"

"... It's the first time I've seen something like this."

"As I thought ... Tito?"

[Master According to my scans, monsters show erratic brain waves. Similar symptoms are found when ESPer manipulation of the mind controls the target.]

"So we face the monsters that control other monsters to attack us, huh. The world must be interesting."

[Master, the gun is ready to fire.]

"Huh? The guns?" Riota was surprised, but Camilla just smiled.

"... Light that firearm when I command it."

[Understanding Master.]

Then, a metal arm grew from Tito's body.

The arm held the small metal box and let it fall to the ground. But before it hit the ground, the metal grew dozens of times larger, to the point of becoming a giant artillery battery.

Riota's mouth was wide open. "That's..."

"Spatial compression technology. This allows carrying objects in spaces smaller than their size. Unfortunately, the energy it consumes increases exponentially with the size of the object, so its use is very limited."

Just then, Tito's mechanical voice sounded.

[Opens that super firearm in three, two, one ..]

Then–

BOOOOOOOM!!!

The explosion made the ground shake. Hundreds of meters of plasma were swallowed. The smell of burning hair and flesh filled the entire village.

Riota's eyes sparkled. The scene of dozens of missiles exploding at the same time can be described as stunning.

When the explosion finally stopped, one-tenth of the monster had been killed.

"Hahahaha, the weather is good today, Riota."

[Unfortunately, I used all my missiles in this attack.] Tito.

"Hahaha, don't worry about that. Tito, how many survived?" Camilla asked.

[Master I counted 325, most of them severely injured.]

"very awesome! Son, do you want to play games with your mother?"

"whats?"

"The one who kills more monsters wins. Don't worry, this mother of yours won't use her ESPer powers."

Riota looked at Camilla and smiled viciously. "yes my mother will do it!"

"Hahaha, that's the spirit. Tito, keep the score."

[Understood,Master]

"If so, what are you waiting for? Let's go!"

In the next instant, Camilla leaped towards the monster and charged out with her brand.

Instantly, Riota realized her stupidity that she had cheated on her own mother..

Camilla's leap covered thirty meters easily, and her movements were extremely fast. Within a second, he appeared before the monster.

"akh! kamfreet your mother tricked me!" Riota curses himself innocent and stupid for being deceived by his mother and Riota attacks the Mosnter-monsters.

and Riota he took the gun from the scabbard, then started shooting.

Most of the monsters were quite weak, with the strongest being equivalent to a C-Grade ESPer. Of course, Riota wasn't strong enough to deal with the C-Grade monsters yet, but Camilla seemed to know that, so she proactively chased after the stronger monsters and handed the weaker ones over to her.

As for the D-Grade monsters down, Riota could barely handle them with the help of technology.

Like that, the game of killing monsters began. Riota used his weapon freely, utilizing his ESP abilities to his greatest advantage. But even like that, she could not compare to Camilla.

Camilla did not use weapons and only fought monsters with military swords, but her armor and combat techniques gave her a tremendous advantage against them. He never needed more than three swings to kill a monster, no matter how powerful it was.

In addition, his stamina seemed infinite. He did not seem tired even after thirty minutes of battle, even though Riota was already sweating coldly.

"What happened, my son? why are you sweating and a little tired I think you are still strong let's enjoy this game and win against your mother is you tired and not excited huh?"

"...Your mother is a battle-crazed monster."

"Hahaha, thank you for the compliment."

Riota shook his head. To be honest, he felt a little disappointed after losing. He knew that Camilla was stronger than him, but he did not expect that even without her ESP abilitites the difference was so great.

Even without her ESP abilities, Camilla's armor and fighting techniques were extraordinary enough to leave Riota dumbfounded and embarrassed.

"Hahahaha, this mother is old and this time she won, My son!" Camilla laughed happily. He then looked towards Riota and grinned.

But suddenly, his expression changed.

"See out!"

With an expression of terror, Camilla attacked Riota.

Riota was shocked. Before she could react, Camilla had pushed her away.

In the next instant, a huge monster jumped out of the sand.

Then, the thousands of monsters swallowed Camilla whole.
