《Into The Portal: Monster Invasion》72- First Fight Together!
Advertisement
Miles decided to hunt with the duo and they walked deeper into the forest. As they were walking, they got to know each other closer. They weren’t in the same stronghold with Miles, but they had no trouble with moving to him since all they received in theirs was scorn and bullying. Although they had a couple of things to do before being able to move. Xavic was especially anxious to move closer to Miles, so he could pay his debt sooner. Although Miles told him over and over again that he shouldn’t worry about it, the guy wasn’t willing to let it slide.
Miles also talked about himself a little bit and shared his contact information with them while explaining his powers. For now, the only one in the team who could actually hurt monsters was Miles, so they decided to hunt together and share their loot. The first orb, which he took from the horse-like creature, went to Xavic, the second would be Zall’s, and the third would be Miles’s.
As they were walking deeper into the forest, hoof sounds reverberated in the silent forest. Miles signaled them to follow him, but because they were lacking military training, they couldn’t understand him so he had to whisper to them to follow him.
Miles pulled them behind a tree, but the poor tree was having a hard time hiding giant Zall’s body. The man was taller than two meters at least half wide. So, anything coming from the other side could see Zall hiding there.
When hooves sounds were getting closer, Miles leaned slightly to take a look and was taken aback when he saw what was making the sound. “Thunder Camels!” He exclaimed with greed! How couldn’t he? Thunder Camels were too valuable.
Like their Earth counterparts, Thunder Camels had water bags in their bodies where they stored liquified lightning. They could fire that liquid lightning-like waterjet cutting whatever was standing in front of them. They were one of the most dangerous creatures in the forest, but they were also so rare.

After all, it would take years for them to fill their water sacks with liquified lightning, so they wouldn’t easily use that liquid to fight. They would keep it for the last resort. And to prevent an increase in usage, they would hardly leave their nest which was in the center of the forest. To encounter four of them at this part of the forest... Miles was gobsmacked.
Camels looked at the giant hiding behind the tree, and they looked like a deer in headlights, they decided to charge over only a second later after realizing what was the thing hiding. “Take formation!” Miles ordered and hid behind Zall with Xavic. While they were traveling, Miles became the de facto leader and planned their formations. Zall would be at the front, Miles in the middle, and Xavic at the rear.
“Xavic stun them one by one, and only stun which I am not attacking afterward if they get out of your bind. Under no circumstances stun the one I am already fighting, unless I say so.”
“Got it, Bro Miles.” Xavic nodded with gusto.
“Zall, let’s go. Stand in front of me, and don’t let me take any hits.” Miles patted the giant on the side of his arm since he couldn’t reach his shoulder easily.
“Got it, Bro.” Zall also nodded but looked troubled. Although it wouldn’t be him causing the harm, he still didn’t like seeing them getting killed, but he knew how the world worked, so he was long used to it. Zall approached the monsters and four bolts of lightning landed on four charging camels, stopping them on their track successfully. Miles fished out his wind sword once again, but with its low tier, it would hardly be useful.
The one at the front was a little bigger than the other three and was as tall as three meters. Miles walked to its side and wanted to have a clean-cut at its neck, but the monster got out of the binding pretty quick. “Damn it!” It got released before Miles could injure it, so Xavic could have stunted it once again, but Miles ordered him not to, so Xavic watched from behind with a sense of mission and kept his hand.

Camel reared up and two giant hooves were about to slam on Miles's face when Zall appeared and crossed his arms in front of him. Hooves landed on barrel-thick arms with a thud, but Zall didn’t even move back. Miles took the opportunity, and sneaked under the camel, and slashed his sword at its softer, yet still hard hide, and drew some blood.
“Nuzz! Nuzz!” Camel went wild and started to attack with its horn at the top of its head, but Zall was there to protect Miles. Miles took the opportunity and hurt the monster over and over again.
When the monster understood he had no chance in this fight, his eyes turned purple and lightning started to dance on its body. Even Zall felt a prickling sensation on his skin, and Miles standing behind Zall felt like lightning knives stabbing him all over.
“Shit, it is about to use the waterjet!” Miles shouted.
“Shall I stun it?” Xavic charged a thunderball and threw it towards the camel.
“Stop, idiot!” Miles looked at Xavic and kicked Zall from his back and sent him flying between bolt and camel. Xavic’s attack landed on Zall, while Miles also knocked further away from the camel. Camel looked at Miles with rage. It wanted nothing more than killing that human, causing him so much damage.
It opened its mouth, and the waterjet flew towards Miles on the ground. Miles looked desperate and on his face, there was unwillingness and regret. Camel liked the expression and kept firing the waterjet.
Miles looked at the waterjet approaching and jumped all of a sudden. His desperate face turned into a smug smirk, as he jumped to grab tree branches on top of him.
The beast looked at Miles as if he was looking at a moron and wondered if that human really thought he could escape by jumping in the air. But the crying voice of its kind stopped his thinking as it looked at where the voice came from. There, three of its kin lay on the ground with fine cuts on their bodies. All three dead. Killed by its waterjet. The camel looked at Miles's smug face with rage, then anger started to rise in its body, but a dagger appeared out of nowhere and stabbed its eyes.
The last remaining eye looked at the perpetrator. The one stunned earlier was holding the handle of the dagger still stabbed to its eyes. It was about to go rage mode and murder all three of them when he noticed the smug-looking human running at him with record speed. The human jumped into the air, and feet grew in his sight. When the foot was in front of him, its mind went black, died.
“Nice work guys.” Miles smiled and mopped his brows. “Zall, man you are too hard to push even when you are not trying.”
“Sorry, Bro.” Zall laughed cheekily, as they approached camels to collect their loot.

Liana in between Worlds
17 year old Liana is not as surprised as most people would be when she meets Inaya, coming from another world searching for a mysterious danger that could be disastrous for both worlds. She's always seen things others could not see, and she often finds it easier to befriend strange creatures from dreamworlds than her classmates. But now she's involved in a possible plot to eradicate our whole species, which makes her travel through a dead alien city and the oak wood of the Nummerfa who believe that our species are dangerous demons from hell, and other places in several different worlds. All she actually wanted was read her Tolkien book, or sit and watch the stars without being bothered by the existential problems of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. And how is she going to even explain her absence at school? 'Liana in Between Words' is a weird genre-defying mix of portal fantasy and scifi in a tale of friendship, loneliness, and the role of humans in the multiverse. This one contains absolutely no romance and no serious trigger warnings for sex, excessive violence, bad words or heavily traumatising content if you can handle the idea that there are people somewhere who think -maybe not completely without reason- that our species are destructive demons that should be eradicated.
