The Metal Military Academy
Chapter 4: Mysterious Monsters

Amidst the silence and dimness of the dungeon, the two creatures of different races were facing each other at a considerable distance. The alien began to take the position of the horses ready to fight against Ardan.

“Newly nongol, ‘dah knows how to fight.”

Ardan started fumbling behind him, about to grab the assault rifle he had just used. However, he only realized that his rifle had been lost somewhere.

“Lah, missing?” Ardan's confused. “Ish! Must have been mental because of being thrown by Regan's ice block. The albino's friend. But, my own fault, anyway, bother him mulu.”

In the end, Ardan can only rely on the dagger stored in the right thigh glove, then take the position of the horses ready to fight using the jagged dagger.

A challenge in itself when having to fight an alien creature that is still unknown fighting ability only use a dagger. But how else? Ardan had to fight back, if he could exterminate it, because the creature would probably pose a threat to others if left to roam.

Both are in a ready position until the creature starts attacking first. The creature immediately shot out with one sword eye on the wrist, ready to slash.

When the creature was getting closer in front of him, Ardan swiftly deflected the bone sword eye attack using a dagger, grabbed the monster's shoulder, then directly slammed until the ground they were pierced cracked.

Ardan raised a foot about to step on the monster's head, but the creature's reflexes aimed one of his swords, about to slash Ardan's foot. Luckily Ardan immediately stepped aside, and the attack only had time to tear his inner thigh pants.

The soldier immediately jumped away. When he landed, he had checked his inner thigh pants had been torn.

“Damn…. Almost my seeds got slashed,” said Ardan ngasal.

The creature immediately got up, darting back giving an even faster attack. Agilely Ardan fended off, brushed off, and attempted to strike back using a dagger. Occasionally he swivels the dagger while resisting enemy attacks.

However, for an attack from Ardan himself does not have the effect of injury to the monster because the attack launched by Ardan only uses a small dagger, just like that, plus the pale skin and the parts of the bones sticking out of the monster's body were sturdy enough to be injured by a dagger incision.

The creature again swung both swords together, reflexing Ardan back several times to dodge and keep a temporary distance.

For a moment Ardan watched his dagger that was still in hand. “Belati this way will not mempan.”

Again the creature ran up to him. But before the creature got closer, Ardan had to turn the dagger back, then he threw it right into the right eyeball of the monster, making the creature's eye hole bleed.

“Heaaargh....!!!”

Now it is Ardan's turn who shot with two legs forward. He kicked the creature's face using both feet, so that the knife that stuck in the right eyeball of the monster was getting stabbed inward to penetrate the back of the head.

The monster fell on its back from Ardan's kick earlier, while Ardan landed well beside his head. When he turned around, it was unexpected that the two hands of the creature grabbed Ardan's feet. In that recumbent state, the creature immediately threw Ardan's body as far as possible.

However, the body reflex of the Taruna is very good. When shot due to being thrown, Ardan immediately rotated in the air and landed well on the ground to make dirt dust flying around the feet with boots.

In that position, Ardan noticed the monster's next move. The creature seemed to stagger trying to get up. Part of his face was already destroyed with the former dagger still stuck in the eye hole.

Seeing the state of the monster made Ardan grimace himself. He did not think that his attack could be that brutal, even though Ardan had not used the Power of Resurrection.

Then, why did Ardan not use his power from the beginning when his weapon was gone, instead choosing to use a dagger?

Answer's simple. Ardan likes a challenge. He will only use the Resurrection Power if in a desperate situation.

“Dih. Still able to rise, apparently,” ringis Ardan.

After the monster returned to its feet, it now appeared several tendrils of meat from the back to its shoulders. The tendrils knit together to form a firing weapon with four cannon holes.

Of course Ardan knew what kind of weapon was formed from that part of the monster's body.

“Yes, God…. Don't tell me that—.”

Ardan also tried to avoid the attacks and explosions produced. As a result of the explosion, the basement shook and the surface of the road above them began to collapse, dropping several chunks of asphalt and soil.

Ardan's fate is truly apes. Already shot several times, he also had to try to avoid the chunks of the road above that fell.

Agilely Ardan dodged the shots from all directions. And when a large piece of ground fell from above, he instantly crushed it with only one of his burly wrists.

Luckily Ardan followed the extracurricular of Immortality Sciences in the academy, where the Mids and Tarunis who follow this extracurricular can train their endurance at a much higher level, as well, so that they can be immune to various attacks without having to wear armor or defense vests. Such as resistant to incisions/bets, hard punches, to resistant to fire on the type of light bullets.

Debris fell more and more and almost managed to hit Ardan's body. The cannonballs shot from the monster's body also came to a halt, making the throwing weapons on both of his shoulders exposed, revealing, the tendrils that formed the weapon were now turned into flesh tentacles that moved unsteadily in the back.

After feeling the attack was over and some of the upper streets stopped falling, Ardan got up, throwing all the large pieces of land that blocked his path with just one hand. Ardan's facial expression seemed to start to be irritated at the mysterious creature's actions.

“Alright, Dude…! You really make me sick!”

Realizing Ardan was still alive, the monster shot back with two hand swords ready to slash.

Having already been in a desperate state and not having any weapons at hand, Ardan was forced to use the Resurrection. An orange-colored electrical circuit appeared around his face for a few seconds, a sign of the Resurrection starting to activate.

“Iron Hitter!”

One iron hitter appeared in hand, Ardan directly hit the monster's face as it was about to reach him.

The monster immediately bounced to the point of hitting the wall at the end of the room, causing flesh and blood from his face to scatter into the ground so hard Ardan hit the monster.

Despite having been hit by the fatal attack, the monster can still rise with a body somewhat staggering. The respirator mask that fused with the flesh of the face was shattered, as well as his mouth.

What makes Ardan shocked and disgusted is when he saw a green-colored acidic liquid gushing out from the mouth of the monster that had been destroyed. When it gushed down, the liquid seemed to melt the ground in front of it.

“I-it…. Isha! What the fuck?!”

Ardan was even more shocked when he realized the iron hitter had melted and stayed half again because it was exposed to acidic liquid. It seems, the liquid was spewed from Ardan's hard blow earlier.

Because it can no longer be used, Ardan also obliterated his iron bat to dust.

“We see. What kind of a mock attack would you unleash in a dying state so.”

As Ardan expected, the creature again attempted to launch its next attack. This time he bent down, letting his tentacles roll together to form a veined meat bud. The buds instantly opened, giving off a strange aura that was quite familiar in Ardan's eyes.

The aura looks like a view of outer space, bluish black decorated with dust-colored similar Nebula with sparkling stars.

The aura instantly spread throughout the basement, around Ardan's position.

From the pressure of the aura and the effects he received, Ardan was truly familiar with this type of power. That power had only ever belonged to one person, and that person was the person he respected the most.

How could such power exist in such a disgusting monster?

“You...”.

Both Ardan's hands were clenched tightly due to emotions. He could not accept if the power could be used by a mysterious creature.

“How can you have that power?!”
