Miraculous Battle (II)
BOOM~~~~~ The immense power of the shipborne Turbolaser blasted Mongar-Mongar's head apart. The shot had come from the Normandy, which had just flown over the battlefield.
"Go screw your ancestors, you piece of mud!" pilot Jeff Moro roared through the loudspeakers.
But on the other side, countless clumps of sludge gathered once more into a gigantic skull, grotesque and terrifying. It opened its pitch-black maw, its voice like the tolling of a muffled bell. "Useless... You are destined for extinction. I am immortal, while your pitiful lives can serve only as a fleeting moment of amusement for me."
"Get lost!!" Jeff Moro shouted, firing another shot.
But it was useless. Before long, countless clumps of sludge gathered elsewhere into the shape of a human woman. It swayed its waist in every seductive manner, yet its voice remained sinister and horrifying. "Is this humanity's idea of beauty? Ah, how crude, how ignorant... You are no different from beasts that know only instinct."
"Enough, Joker!! It's trying to provoke us into wasting our limited firepower on that sludge!" Shepard said over the comms. "Keep bombing every route leading to this mountain—roads, railways. Cut off Mongar-Mongar's avenues for bringing in reinforcements by transport as much as possible."
"That monster makes me sick... Sorry, Shepard." Inside the Normandy's cockpit, Jeff Moro rubbed his forehead and sighed.
"That's one of its usual tricks." Shepard stared coldly through the fortifications at the ocean-like sea of Xiyala people corpses. She raised her Valkyrie Assault Rifle again, but immediately felt a stabbing pain in her left shoulder. The unceasing battles of recent days had pushed her body beyond its limits.
She shifted the rifle stock to brace against her right shoulder, then took aim and fired again!
The tiny metal rounds were accelerated by Hypermatter
