Chapter 1131 An Unexpected Menace
-----
Patrick was given a shouting Skill.
Emilia was granted the power to burn any foe.
And Hermes?
Due to his quick movements and his ability to hit many foes at once while keeping himself safe, I gave him a power to abuse that.
By merely slightly piercing a foe, small vines would grow over their bodies, the more he attacked, the larger they grew.
The vines would quickly absorb he lifeforce of their hosts, weakening them tremendously in the process.
Yes, this Skill...
[Demonic Abyssal Energy-sucking Greed Vines]!
"Those vines...!"
Hermes was confused at first, but quickly came to learn how to manipulate them, with his greater intelligence, he was able to easily manipulate the vines, forcing them to move, wrap, and destroy things he wanted.
The Xenoids suffered, the vines consuming them from the inside out all while they tried to fight, only to be easily taken down by Hermes or the rest.
And when they died, the vines would gather into vine monstrosities, obeying Hermes mental commands. A small army for him.
"You are desperate it seems."
Five Machine Warrior Xenoids surrounded me out of the blue as I commanded everyone. Space was omnidirectional, foes could appear from every single angle.
Therefore, even when there were tight formations, if you were too distracted, they would appear out of nowhere.
But that was fine with me anyways.
"SHIEEEH!"
"EX... TER... MINATE!"
"SHAAAGGGH! KILL!"
"GRYYEEEGGH!"
The Xenoids were also beginning to... talk.
Through the machines, they moved them to say words, mechanical words the machines came equipped with.
It was honestly incredible how they developed and evolved, all to just say they want me to die.
Honestly, I admire their dedication.
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
I flew across the cosmos, Eleanora constantly assisting me with all kinds of things, controlling my spear, or controlling other Sentinels for a more specific work, she was also using her Skills through them, her spear arts in specific, and even some of her Ninjutsu.
"Blake! They're going to kill them all if we go at this speed!" she said.
"Is that so?" I wondered. "It would certainly be funny if they died so easily but... I need these veterans. Let's go save a few."
FLASH!
I reached them, as I found myself in the middle of a chaotic spatial battlefield. Screams echoed everywhere, as the Xenoids held the high ground without a doubt.
Machines being wrapped around tentacles, several of them with missing arms, others had their weapons broken.
Despite being veterans they sucked at fighting as a group.
Why? Because they only think about their own survival, not about the survival of everyone.
Therefore, these fools can't do things together.

"Eleanora, take the left area with the Sentinels!" I said. "Undead, follow me to the right area!"
Like that, we divided into two smaller groups, aiming to save the pilots.
"Please... someone...! Someone save meeeee!"
One of them screamed, as a Xenoid's tentacles were trying to get to him through the holes it opened on the machine warrior.
"I don't want to dieeeeee!"
As he continued to scream, and the tentacles creepily drew closer.
SLAAASH!
I swung down my spear at lightning speed, the Xenoid tentacles were instantly sliced and then exploded into pieces of flesh.
I followed by swinging and then piercing the Xenoid, a basic one, in the spherical body, reaching its true body and blasting it from the inside out.
BOOOM!
"It's as simple as that," I said. "Why can't you do the same? And you call yourself a pilot?"
"T-Thank you for saving me!" the man cried. "But this is hopeless! I've been trying to survive for so long! I-I just can't... I can't with this anymore!"
He started to convulse and groan in agony, as I noticed one tentacle got to him.
Suddenly, his entire spacesuit exploded, tentacles surging from every limb, which wrapped into the interior of the machine warrior, mixing flesh and metal together.
So that's how they're born, huh?
