The bend of my index finger.
I aimed at the dozen or so bugs in the distance and flicked lightly.
"Rail-gun!"
"Boom!"
Chapter Ninety-Eight: An Old Friend
"Rumble!"
The instant a fierce burst of light shot from my fingertip, everyone around me turned to stare in shock. Of course,
I had no time to pay them any mind. Instead,
I turned my gaze toward the bugs.
Obviously, these little bugs couldn't possibly withstand a railgun. But since they were so spread out, that shot
only took out three. Seven or eight
were still standing where they were, running around in a panic.
I took out another metal ball, aimed at three bugs huddled together, and fired again!
"Rail-gun!"
"Boom!"
Flames soared into the sky. The ball carried immense electromagnetic force and struck the three bugs in the blink of an eye, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow. Fire swallowed
them instantly. The projectile slammed into the ground, blasting open a huge crater. The explosion was far
more powerful than a hand grenade.
The three bugs were blown to pieces in an instant, their severed limbs flying everywhere as sticky green liquid splattered across the ground and was washed away by the rain.
"Mom~ You're... you're amazing!"
"Mm-hmm~"
Being praised like that by my own daughter made me feel... well, a little proud~
"Mom~ Was that you who made the lightning that day, too?"
Juanjuan looked at me with a hint of amazement, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Ah~ Mm, I did that. You know that now, too."
I took out a metal ball and pointed at my leg.
"Mom got hurt because of that lightning, right..." Juanjuan glanced at my leg with concern.
"All right, it's fine. This little injury will heal after a few good meals."
