(Sorry, I missed posting the real chapter 12. I uploaded the real chapter 12, and then added a new chapter at chapter 15. Sorry, I got mixed up a little bit :))
"Excellent!" I said to myself in satisfaction as I felt the red energy and the stream of delicious blue cha 'nutrients' fill up. I could feel the power coiling within , ready to be released at will.
With most of the three blue chas absorbed, I distinctly understood how I could combine them to create an 'enhanced' blue cha.
Which I did imdiately, of course.
WHOOSH!
I quickly strengthened my arms and legs, causing them to be much harder than before. Additionally, I fully realized that the three blue cha cores I had absorbed also allowed to burst out with much, much more power.
Not that I needed it. My red energy effectively puts to sleep any cha opponent I face. Permanently.
But it's good to know that I am growing stronger.
At that mont, with one cha down, I finally had ti to think.
"I should have just absorbed the chas straight away! Why bother fighting them?" I said as I gave myself an imaginary face palm.
"No, it's alright. You need the combat practice." Emma said non-chalantly from my side. "Just make sure you disable their comms first."
I narrowed my eyes into slits and scowled at Emma lightly. That little minx. She could have reminded to simply absorb the chas. But she wanted to fight to improve my cha skills!
I sighed. She was right, though. I had absolutely ZERO training and fighting skills, and I desperately needed the practice. Not that it would do much good, but every little bit was better than nothing.
"Close combat it is!" I thought to myself, very much encouraged by my first success.
Seeing their comrade disabled so quickly and becoming completely unresponsive, the other two chas beca slightly wary of . They split up and began to flank .
"Feint left and attack the right one." Emma's voice rang out from behind .
"No need." I replied as I charged with surprising power and speed towards the left cha while activating my red energy to weaken the right cha's right foot. That should slow him down enough to allow to quickly disable the left cha.
BAM! I crashed into the left cha and we both fell to the ground. Instantly, my red energy worked its magic and absorbed yet another blue cha's core and critical components.
"AHH!!!" The cha pilot scread out in fear as he frantically tried to move his unresponsive cha.
Pointless struggling.
I turned around and parried the third cha's downward slash with my bare hands. He probably chose not to use his energy weapon in fear that he would accidentally hit his buddy. So, to his great misfortune, he chose to engage in close combat.
BAM!!
Gotcha. I grinned.
WHOOSH!
The third and final blue cha crumpled on the ground as essential components left him.
"You shouldn't have used your red cha power. How do you expect to improve your skills if you keep using that? Anyway, you need to completely absorb these chas and get rid of the pilots' bodies." Emma reminded .
"I know, I know." I grumbled. "Stop nagging at ."
WHOOSH!! The chas burst into streams of 'nutrients' and quickly made their way into my body.
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! I quickly fired at the pilots and pulverized them before they could cry out and beg to spare their lives. Although I am getting slightly used to killing people now, I still very much preferred to do the killing quickly and cleanly.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The sounds of battle in the distance continued to intensify. Apparently the White cha had yet to show itself.
"We can still carry out my plan." Emma began. However, she was quickly cut short when three military chas burst through from behind us.
"There they are!" I could hear the lead cha shout into his comms. My senses had advanced once more, and my hearing beca extrely sharp.
"Where are the other three? I thought you said there were four chas sneaking around here!" Another shouted.
"FOCUS! Take down the cha first before asking so many questions!" A loud roar of anger could be heard from the lead cha.
Excellent! More practice! Well, not so much practice. By that point, I had grown so strong that three common chas posed absolutely no threat to whatsoever. I could simply stand still and let them do their worst in attacking , and I would still be fine. Afterall, I had the power of FIVE chas in .
But still, practice was practice, and I obligingly entered combat with them, dodging their attacks and dishing out my own.
DODGE!
BAM!
I punched out at the lead cha. One down.
BAM! A powerful energy beam scratched my back.
BAM! I turned around and fired my own energy beam, striking it down.
BAM!!!
I lifted my arm and parried the final cha's attack.
BAMM!!
And kicked it into pieces.
Battle over.
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT CHA!?" The lead cha roared angrily.
"By the way. You forgot to disable their communication system. Military chas have body caras as standard issue. They know that there is a vastly more powerful blue cha in this area now." Emma said quietly as she dropped the bombshell at .
"WHAT!" I shouted in surprise. I turned and looked at the lead cha and scanned it.
Damn it! She's right, there's a cara and it's pointing straight at !
"They would send reinforcents to this area very soon. We need to clear the area fast!" Emma urged.
WHOOSH!!! BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!!
I quickly disabled their communication system, absorbed the three chas and put to rest the three cha pilots. After that, I bailed out of the area and dashed towards the Red Dragon base.
"Where are you going?" Emma asked.
"Change of plans. I am going to lead the military reinforcents towards the Red Dragon base to force out the White cha. And then I will absorb it right there and then!"
"You aren't going to absorb it on the sly and then pretend to be a white cha from The European Empire? I thought that's our plan!" Emma asked in surprise.
"Let teach you the first law of battle which my father taught ." I grinned at her while I continued my mad dash towards the Red Dragon base.
"What? Know yourself and your enemy?" Emma snapped irritably at .
"Nope. The first law of battle is: Everything gets f-ed up as soon as the enemy arrives. THAT'S why he's called the enemy." I pronounced smugly.
"So?" Emma asked, still very irritated.
"So, my dear girl, if you want to succeed in real life, you need to get out of your bubble and realize that plans are castles in the clouds. You need to react and respond quickly based on what's happening in real life. And right now, the military has one more reason to press the attack. . I need to lead them to the Red Dragon base." I explained in a condescending voice.
"That's no reason to absorb the white cha right there and then and not on the sly as we planned." Emma pointed out.
"Of course it is. The military would probably direct a very strong attack our way. AND the Red Dragon base knows that we're not part of them. And being a very visible threat, they would probably focus fire on too. I would have TWO groups of people trying to kill with all their strengths! I need that white cha to survive." I explained.
At that, Emma stayed silent for a while. And then she spoke the words that would change our destinies forever.
"If that's the case, then let's not bother with manpower. Just absorb everything in the Red Dragon base and kill everyone there. Go back to the military base and do the sa. At the very least, you will get the fighting power of TWO bases as well as the White cha." Emma said.
My heart skipped a beat at her words.
"Is she really just eight years old?!" I exclaid silently in my heart.
