Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 71: 2 for the Price of 1

Here? Miles asked as he looked around. There was wreckage everywhere. Uprooted trees, debris, and holes on the ground, and one giant of a man in the middle of all sleeping on top of a bear maybe twice the size of his. The scene was so shocking, Miless jaw dropped to the ground.

Is this your friend? He looked at the giant man sleeping on top of a purple bear. He looked more like a monster than a bear. His skin was crimson red and had two bulges on his forehead. He looked like the epitome of a devil, minus horns plus bulges. He remembered seeing him too with Xavic when they were hunting the vampire.

Zall, wake up. ZALL!! Xavic shouted at the man to wake him up. Both bear-like creatures moved simultaneously with the voice and turned over. But because the bear turned over, Zall, the man sleeping on the bear, fell down on the ground. After that, he opened his eyes and looked at the bear.

Ah, I have done it again. He lamented with a kind tone. Sorry to injure you, Mr. Bear. He connected his hands as if praying then bowed to the sleeping bear.

What is going on? Miles looked at Xavic with his eyebrows twitching.

Zall cannot hurt any creature. He is just against hurting anything alive. When the bear found the two of us, I was fighting against the horse-like creature. Bear would kill me, so Zall lured it away from me, so I could fight with the other. They must have ended up tired after fighting for so long. Xavic explained matter of factly.

What the hell do you mean they must have gotten tired of fighting? Miles would flip a table if he had one there. Didnt you say this guy wouldnt hurt anything alive? I doubt bears would have the same sentiment. So how did he survive, without fighting back?

Well, Zall is a little special, Xavic said but couldnt finish. It is his story, so I cannot tell. Sorry, Miles.

Fine, fine. Miles just shook his head. What a weird duo.

Hello, I am Zall. I am honored to meet you. As they were talking, the giant of the man, Zall, was climbing from the debris. When he arrived at the duo, he heard what they were talking about. My superpower is Red Skin. It pretty much makes me nigh-invincible in my tier.

What do you mean pretty much? Miles looked at the man with a frown. If man was invincible, he could do anything he wanted. How did they end up like this?

Well, no monster at high-tier can hurt me badly. Pinnacle-tier is still dangerous but I can cope with their attacks for a long time. But a human with Form-Rank power did draw blood from me once Zall explained with a never-fading smile. He looked like a giant buddha, a devil buddha to be precise.

So, you are a tank with ultimate defense and lack attack, and Xavic is ultimate support with defective spells. So together, you are invincible since you can take hits from any monster in here or stun them, but you lack the power to kill them, am I right? Miles summarized but as he was getting to the end, he felt a pain forming in his head. What the hell is wrong with this duo?

That seems about right. Zall smiled and nodded.

I see, I see. So, how did you two end up together? Miles asked. They were a peculiar duo. What brought them together?

I was getting bullied by 20 or some kids when I first came to Portal World. Bro Xavic came to save me and blasted all of them with his healing lightning. I decided to become best friends with him since he was like me and wouldnt want to hurt them. Zall explained the real reason. Miles looked at Xavic with stinky eyes to say Hey, do you really want to do this? You are lying this angel of the man, welp a giant devil looking one, but an angel nonetheless.

Dont look at me like that. I already told him I would want nothing more than to hurt them a lot, but I couldnt. Xavic owned his actions. He is too dumb to accept it.

Haha. I just know Bro is kind, that is enough for me. Zall answered with a heartfelt smile. That is enough about me. Who are you, bro?

Miles, nice to meet you. Miles introduced himself absentmindedly. Can there be such a kind person? He has the potential to soar the skies, but he chooses to stay unknown. Dont know what to think of it.

Bro Miles. It is my pleasure. Zall bowed once again.

Bro, Miles is my second best friend now. So, this makes him your best friend too. Xavic said with pride.

Oh, right. He is my best friend too. Zall accepted without questioning.

I didnt sign up for that. Miles shouted in his head but ignored it for the time being. He needed to hunt and he could use some company. Especially the two in front of him. With their assistance, he doubted anyone could hurt him.

To challenge his thoughts, cries of bats were heard from the forest. Lightning bats, run! Miles shouted and wanted to run, but Zall stopped him.

Dont worry bro, we got them. Xavic also reassured him.

Stop playing around. Lightning bats are no joke! Miles got serious. Lightning bats werent as simple as other creatures. By mixing sound waves with lightning, they could target their prey through the atmosphere. Their attacks were nigh-impossible to defend against. In a place filled with lightning, they could transmit their voices/attacks, without any problem. Miles wasnt even sure of the defense of the maroon armor. Armor wasnt stopping him from hearing after all.

We had encountered them before. They will run away as soon as they see us, dont worry. Xavic said and stood as straight as a spear. His body was like a city wall protecting those behind him.

When bats appeared, Miles was ready to run away with anything amiss. The duo grew on him, but he wasnt willing to risk his life for two stupids refusing to listen to him. But when they saw Xavic standing, bats indeed did escape. Miles couldnt help but look at Xavic with newfound respect.

How? He asked with curiosity.

You see, they attacked us the other day, and I kinda stunned them. But because of their small bodies, my stun wasnt long-term, and they gained their bodies back pretty quick, so I shocked them over and over again. After ten times, they ran away from me. Haha. Xavic embarrassedly explained while scratching his temple.

What the hell! Miles exclaimed once again. Can someone explain what is going on in here?' Miles looked at the duo smiling back at him.
