Chapter 1047 Worried Grandparents And Overpowered Grandchildren
-----
Benlah and Laddan, Benladann's parents, rushed outside of Heaven Port upon the invasion of the Sea Monsters controlled by the Leviathan. The entire city was thankfully evacuated way before the army of mechs from Greenwood were to arrive. However, the two grandparents were now worried, looking at the distance from within the depths of the forests surrounding the city.
With two little girls in their arms, they were given the task of protecting the people that escaped if any monster or something else were to dare rush outside and attempt to kill the people that escaped.
Running more deep into the wilderness would be too dangerous for most of these citizens, as the wilderness was infested with monsters, and without proper equipment and preparation, many people would just fall victim to the mercilessness of monsters within nature.
"It seems Drake already dealt with the Sea Monsters…" Laddan sighed. Benladann's father looked into the distance, sighing in relief.
"Did he? What a relief… Well, I am sure our son in law would had done the bare minimum, it is Drake after all." Said Benlah. Benladann's mother had trust on Drake's great strength.
"Papa…" Benladra sighed, looking into the distance with her beautiful yellow eyes.
"Bwuh…" Kate looked into the skies, ignoring her big sister's concerns, as she knew papa and mama would be alright.
What she noticed, and which she was trying to tell everyone about but nobody was paying her attention was strange gray silhouettes, beings made of metal flying in the sky.
"Bwah!! Ahh! Abuh!" Kate continued pointing at the sky, until her grandparents finally realized something was going on.
"What's wrong little Kate?" Wondered Laddan.
"She looks worried? What is she pointing at…? Oh." Benlah's eyes opened wide, as enormous mechs slowly closed in towards them.
Those robots… of course they had yet to forget them. These monstrous metallic golems who had destroyed their village while looking for her daughter, who burned everyone to death, including them. Despite having been revived and given new chances at life… these traumas couldn't go away.
And now, in front of these two parents, the monsters that ended their lives while looking for their daughter emerged… more menacing than ever. They were several times stronger than the ones that took away their lives, and imbued with Divine Power, something they had yet to grasp as they were only at Rank 6 Peak Stage.
"T-Those are…"
"Those golems Drake calls robots!"
"I remember Drake said they fought some in the Frost Queen's inheritance…"
"T-They're here? Why?! How did Benladann and Drake let them get in here?"
"If we don't stop them, they'll kill everyone hiding in the woods. Nobody can even compare to their strength…"
"R O O O O A R R R!"
"S H A A A A A!"
"G R U O O O H H H!"
The mechs were a group of ten of them which had infiltrated into the back of Heaven Port and reached the forests. Their localizers of life quickly spotted life signals from afar and immediately reacted, flying into the skies and slowly descending into the grasslands in front of the forest.
"Initiating Automatic Protocol: Exterminate All Witnessers."
Their cold, robotic voice echoed across the entire forest. The people looking at what was happening were terrified. Their bodies were paralyzed, and nobody, absolutely nobody could do a single thing.
"I can't move…" Laddann muttered.
"Why… Ugh…!" Benlah cried.
Not only the fear of the mechs, but also their very traumas stopped their movements. It felt as if their weight was increased by a thousandfold in mere seconds… Perhaps the fear for death was too strong, or maybe they were too cowardly… However, to their surprise, the two babies with them were not cowardly at all.
"Protect ganpa an ganma!" Benladra proclaimed, freeing herself from her grandmother's grasp.
"Mwuuh!" Kate roared, flying as well at the side of her big sister, Benladann's parents tried to stop them, running outside of the forest.
"Stop… STOP!"
"BENLADRA! KATE, COME BACK!"
The two grandparents minds were being consumed by the fear, but an even greater fear, losing their grandchildren took over their minds, overpowering their very traumas and forcing them to rush outside the forest recklessly.
And there, they found them. Enormous metallic behemoths. No normal person could ever think of a way to defeat them. Covered in metal capable of resisting magic attacks and physical attacks. They could fly, unleash destructive blows that could destroy entire cities in seconds, and held within them deadly red lasers, capable of burning and slicing through anything they desired.
Completely overwhelmingly strong foes that nobody could do a single thing against. Behemoths beyond a mortal's realm, beings designed by Greenwood specifically made to cleanse the world of lowly ants and bring forth a new era…
"ROOOARRR!"
An enormous three-headed metallic dragon noticed them first, slowly walking towards them. Its size easily surpassing fifty meters was so overwhelming that even ice giants were ants before the metallic behemoth.
Benladann's parents were frozen as they slowly raised their heads to look at the monster. It was so tall they could only see three enormous heads look down at them, and six red dots, the mech's eyes.
CLANK!
Their jaws opened with a loud metallic sound, as red energy began to gather within their mouths… slowly charging divine power to unleash devastating red beams. Such beams could quite easily disintegrate them!
CLAAASH!
However, in the last moment before they could unleash their power, a large quantity of colorful slimes fell over one of the mechs and shapeshifted into an enormous draconic arm. They were not near as enough for them to merge into a Doppelganger of Drake, but they could still turn into parts of their bodies!
"T-The slimes…!" Benlah said.
"They saved us…" Laddan muttered.
"Wait, where are the girls?!" Benlah wondered.
"O-Over there, in the sky!" Laddan freaked out.
The two grandparents saw as their grandchildren flew towards the three-headed metallic dragon and attacked it together!
