Grounded Mant Novels & Stories

With a thin, blue light swirling around them, Lars and Edwin flew off to locate this being of silverstream. For all the time Lars spent scouring the regions of La Shania Mirepa, he never had any encounter with Silver Sovereigns or Prime Chimeras. They were completely laying low somewhere in their turf regions and Lars didn't get much clue about it. That particular day, it was the first of Lars seeing a Prime Chimera. This Prime Chimera, a human - sized orchid mantis, was feasting on someone in an alley. Lars saw from above and horrified of the scene. The mantis Prime Chimera looked up and seemingly not caring of the Scions' presence at all as he continued eating.

"They're all connected to the same point at the bottom." Silas looked at the connection point. At the routing path. At the design logic of a network of vertical iron conductors all linked to the mountain's lower foundation. "They're not reinforcement," he said. "They're a grounding network." He read the notation beside the connection point, which he'd skipped during the initial survey because it had been labeled in the First Void War technical shorthand that required specific knowledge to parse. "Passive Acoustic Grounding Shield. Designed to absorb high-impact kinetic and explosive shocks and route the energy into the lower foundation rather than allowing it to propagate through the rock fa

"Flattened? The outer walls are eight inches of solid concrete!" [The concrete structure lacks reinforcement ] the system text read, scrolling down much faster in front of my face. [Apex Mutants possess burrowing capabilities. They will bypass the surface shield by breaching the basement floor from beneath the foundation.] "Oh, god " I whispered, putting my hand over my mouth as the true horror sank in. I looked down at the gray concrete floor under my boots. I thought about the dark damp basement where Cindy had pulled the power lever—the wet floor resting directly on top of the dark earth.

Derren replied. “Okay, I guess that's what we'll have to find out,” Maria said. She raised the two tentacles upwards, then flung them downwards, creating a wave that moved from her side of the tentacles all the way to Greta's side. The ground where the tentacles grew out shook rigorously until the metal completely disconnected from the ground. Greta staggered backwards until she was able to regain her stamina, and Maria threw the large tentacles aside. “You fool, all I have to do is grow more dragon tails, and those two will be reconnected to the rest,” Greta yelled from where she stood.

It was like a giant blade sweeping across the sky, shattering mountains and rivers, shaking the sun and moon, and sending chills through everyone's hearts. "What exactly is this thing?" As an old-timer in the nether realm, Norm had seen quite a few strange shadow beasts, yet he had truly never seen mantises like these. "They're the Doom Mantises of the Zago race. They stand at over 500 feet tall and are nearly 2,000 feet long. One strike can cut through mountain peaks," Barry explained at this moment. Being from the Sky Demon race, he had traveled frequently in the upper three heavenly realms and had encountered many alien races. He gave everyone an explanation.

It was almost absurd how these two monsters could battle like this and not level the entire house in seconds. Her wind tattoo and owls were still at work, searching the bone enclosure for any vulnerable point they could exploit... any crack, seam, or weakness that might give them a way out. The mantis pivoted sharply, its armor deflecting two tentacles with a metallic clang. Another tentacle managed to latch onto its side, suction cups finding purchase between armor plates. With an ear-splitting crunch, the mantis snapped its free claw down and sheared the tentacle in half. Jeric’s shriek was deafening, a keening squeal that rattled Arah’s teeth. Green blood sprayed across the floor.

Their expression turned sour. The woman grimaced and started to look panic, concerned for her workers. She turned to the guards to ask for help but they one of them already ran to the problem while one ran back to the windmill to inform the others. Now that they’re close, Jai could finally see what kind of creature mandrakes are. They look like the gigantification of mung beans, but they have leaves growing all over their body that made them look like another version of walking foliage. They also have one pair of tentacles each that have less leaves along the length. Jai couldn’t see if they have feet to move because the undersides were obscured by the leaves, but they did move slowly.

Brent must have sensed the possible threat I posed to the existence of his pack, he backed off and got rid of the infuriating look in his eyes. I smirked at him and continued "A very distinguished member of my pack was last seen in California and the location turns out to be a building just behind your pack grounds. Have anything to say?" I asked and met the stares of each member of Brent's pack. "If that is the case, Alpha Ace. I am sorry but I can not be of any help" Brent said. I relaxed further into my seat "And for what reason?" I shot back. "The land behind my pack grounds is out of my jurisdiction. I have little to no authority over it" Brent explained but I knew I could get him to do

Chapter 28 Glen stalked behind Mantilo all the way to the bottom floor of their home. A soft warmth crawled all along her arms, and brushed her spine, a feminine hiss curled down her throat. She ignored her sons as they trailed behind both her and Mantilo, no doubt they were waiting to see what was about to transpire.

The mantis falls to his knees as he screams out. Without wasting time, Allan leaped into the air climbing the king of mantis and above the mantis head lifting his sword above my head. Allan swiftly thrust his sword towards his head. The praying mantis screams as it falls to the ground dead. Several minutes later, Allan regain his energy and begin to climb the mountain.
