Chapter 42: Hunting The Moleman King

  peared in our collected vision was a few dozen molemen that were much rger than the ones we've been entering up to this point. Along with their bigger builds, they had better guns and actual armor that wasn't just a few thin pieetal attached to leather that most of their brethren were scurrying around in.

  All those six foot tall molemen guards were surrounding one huge moleman that stood at a bare minimum of eight feet i. That particur moleman was equipped with its ow of makeshift armor too and a DMG-15 Double Barrel Mae Gun which was far superior pared to the ons its guards were using.

  Good, we've found the moleman king. Once I get rid of it, mopping up the rest should be no issue with their leader gone. Although it will still take me quite some time since I'm going to o scour every inch of the cave system and clear it in its ey.

  Wanting to things up here so I get back to clearing the cave system and log it down, I charged into the chamber with everyone while unloading my NPDM that was getting rather low on ammo again with all the molemen hunting I've been doing. In the midst of firing at the many hostiles within the chamber, I made the decision to leave the guards to the old man and my robots to take care of while I focused on the hreat amongst the molemen.

  Thus leaving it to them, I took aim at the moleman king's head and shot a trolled burst of three rounds. Within far less than a sed, they struck his helmet, digging into it but not making their way through its armor.

  Mm, his armor is thicker than I expected, smart. Let me disable his on first before I figure out how I want to kill him. I don't particurly want to get id into by two 7.62s simultaneously.

  Not able to pee its armor, I swiftly adjusted my aim the very instant to the moleman king's on and fired another burst, putting three sizable holes in the receiver of his double-barreled mae gun. The vermin, not knowing I had made his on inoperable, attempted to fire its on at me, but when it pulled the trigger, all it provoked was a clid no other response.

  As it was about to begin iing its on to see what was wrong with it, I realigned my on with its head; however, instead of just targeting its skull as I had done previously, I aimed for the eyeholes of its helmet because they were the only oint I could take advantage of. All while this was going on, gramps and my robots were keeping the approximately six foot tall armored molemeertained, easily taking them down one by one.

  Pulling the trigger once again I fired one round and after it left the muzzle brake at the end of my NPDM's barrel it sailed through the air and right into the moleman king's eye taking it out and causing a burst of blood and bits of the annihited eye to fly out of the helmet's socket. The following instant, the big fucker started screeg and moviically as it was experieng the pain of losing one of its essential sensory ans.

  Damn, this bastard's durable. I was expeg that round to pierce right through its eye and deal massive damage to its brain. However, seeing as it hasn't keeled over and dropped to the floor of its den, it must have a pretty thick skull to stop a whole ass 7.62x39mm round.

  After firing that st round, I was out of ammunition, so I tossed my light mae gun aside ao ehe moleman king in melee bat. I could've sed to the two ser assault rifles I had on my back, but if my NPDM couldn't pee its armor, there is no way those two energy ons would be able to.

  Super heating it with tinuous ser pulses tion however, it would've taken quite a lot of time to do so hence why I'm not. Sprinting ahead, I pulled the bat knife from the holster on my war belt and held it in reverse grip with the bde fag downward.

  Rapidly approag my prey, that was still filing about and screeg in pain, I rammed my armored shoulder into it, trying to tackle and bring the moleman king to the ground. Sending the much rger and heavier creature than myself to the cave floor, I swiftly brought the bat knife in my hand down, precisely stabbing it iween the gaps in its armor. I got a few more stabs in before the brute threw me off of him a me flying around two meters away onto my back.

  Rolling over, I quickly got on my feet and charged forward as the moleman king was struggling to its feet. Smming into it again, I retur to its p the chamber's floor before jumping on top of it, and activating the new Martial on Master qi I gained retly.

  As soon as I coated my on in the energy, I ied my knife wherever I could slide it iing several more stabs in and drawing increasingly more blood from it, I got thrown off aime, but instead of being thrown on my back for a sed time, I twisted my body while in midair, nding upright on my feet this time around.

  Not willing to let it have any sort of breather, I hurried over to it and took its other eye, making it screech even louder than before. From there I kept stabbing and ripping my gramp's old bat khrough the gaps in its armor ptes and after several minutes of doing so aing a punch sent at my head that rocked me a det bit, the king started to go limp.

  With the creature losing strength, I pried its helmet off that I attempted to do multiple times before. Removing and throwing its helm away, the grotesque moleman king's face was revealed.

  "Damn, you are one ugly bastard." I ented aloud.

  Receiving a tired scree reply, I brought my knife down and stabbed it into its ned began slig it to the opposite side of its neck. It took some effort, but I got the job done and separated its head from its body, thus ending the fight then and there. Getting off of the moleman king's corpse, I took a deep breath and looked behind me, seeing gramps with his helmet off looking as proud as he could be at me.

  "You did it, kid. I guess you will aplish those dreams of yours some day."

  Taking my ow off as well, I replied fidently. "I will."

  "But I couldn't have do without you, gramps. If not for all the training you put me through and all the things you've shown and taught me over the years, there is no way I would be where I'm at today without you. Not to mention all the help you've provided to Alice as well, right Alice?"

  "Dom, is right grandpa John, if it wasn't for you we wouldn't be anywhere he level we are now. Thank you for spending so much time helping us improve and bee better aer every day." Alice chimed in appreciatively over the durable streaming device I was wearing.

  "Yeah, thank you for taking the time to help us, gramps. We both really appreciate it."

  Gramps showed a twinge of emotion before c it up and practically smiling from ear to ear at what he just heard. Obviously happy as be to hear that we both appreciated him and the help he had provided to not just me but Alice too over the years.

  "As long as you two keep striving to improve, that's all I'll o see to know that you treciate what I'm doing for you little rascals." The old man said prior to ing over to me and bear hugging me like the bear of a man he was.

  The three of us talked for a bit more before Alice decided to get some words of appreciation for herself. "Hey, Dom, since grandpa John is getting some words of appreciation from you, what about me? I believe I deserve some as well."

  If she were here with us now, I know with absolute certainty that she would be utilizing her glistening blue eyes and staring at me expetly. Uo deny her request, I came up with something qui the spot.

  "You were also instrumental to my success too, Alice. If not for you always helpi and supp me as much as you do, I wouldn't have been able to aplish nearly as much as I have, let aloake down the moleman king."

  "And…" She followed up with seeking a bit more than just words.

  "And I suppose I should reward my ever helpful and loyal wife-to-be, who has stood by my side for nearly the ey of my life."

  "Nn, that's more like it. I'll be waiting to see what you have in store." She responded happily iypical sweet voice that was ced with satisfa and a bit of anticipation.

  Sigh, I know she's going to attempt to push the boundary again, but that ain't happening. I already don't want to be doing what we're doing currently with her being a kid even though a big five foot six inch tall oh a very abnormal mental maturity.

  If there wasn't the issue of her possibly developing issues mentally from me rejeg her advances like I've thought about in the past, I wouldn't be allowing what's been going on since I'm into actual developed women with sexy full figures and tight bodies like most men and not kids. But things are what they are even though I'd much rather they not be. Guess I'll just have to keep putting up with it for another seven years until she's an actual adult and I have the green light.

  "You two lovebirds done. I'm about to start throwing up over here." Gramps joked from the side.

  "Yeah, we're done, gramps, let's head on bad end things here for today. I think we've achieved enough for one day."

  "Sounds good to me. I'm gonna take a nice long nap whe there."

  After our versation, gramps, I, and the robots scoured and looked through the cave for loot and anything else of i. In our search we stumbled across what I thought to be the moleman king's family in a ected spa the chamber's rear, which sisted of two adult females and a litter of pups that they were attempting to protect by c them with their bodies.

  Entering the space, fear was clear as day owo adults' faces. I felt a twinge of emotion at what I was about to it. Child killing wasn't my thing, but I o do what had to be done and not leave a single root that could germinate and e back to bite me ter on.

  If Alid I were in the same position, the molemen would've ruthlessly butchered us, so why should I show them passion and give a damhey wouldn't have shown us the same.

  Hardening my mentality, I brought one of the two ser assault rifles I was carrying with me to my right hand and poi in their dire, and ruthlessly pressed the trigger. The red ser pulses lit the dimly lit space up for several seds before things returo how they once were when we first stepped into this room.

  Fiying up loose ends, we searched the room and gathered a det haul to take with us and headed to the previous chamber. Ready to get this show ba the road, I had several of my mulitbots grab the four molemen guards; I had them leave alive. One might ask why they were left alive, well the answer was rather simple: I require test subjects for my medical and drug experiments I pn on doing real soon, sequently the reason why they haven't beeerminated like the rest.

  With things ed up, we dragged the four molemen guards away with us. Though not literally, sihey were being carried to keep them from being harmed any further than they already were, we began trag our way back to the Genesis Foundry.

  …

  Likely, due to them no longer having a leader to direct them, we faced very little resistance while we were traveling through the expawork of passages and chambers. It took us a few hours, but we made it back to the well defended armored doors of the foundry in one piece.

  ing upon the armored doors of the facility, I had them begin opening as we were closing in on them. And right as all of us had passed through, I shut them behind us, sealing the facility off from the dahe remnant molemen posed. Finally, at base, we moved to the armory and dropped ear off there, along with a good amount of the ons and ammo we hauled with us.

  Leaving the armory behind as my robots went off to the warehouse area of the foundry to deposit the rest of this trip's rewards, including log up and the four molemen guards, gramps and I walked to the pnniion area. As the both of us came strolling through the door, I was unsurprisingly jumped by aed Alice that was happy to see me and gramps return from our excursion unharmed, mostly.

  Ba the foundry's safety, we took a seat and started versing about what transpired and after doing so for a det while the old ma Alid I here to tinue while he occupied a couch for himself along with a soft gray b and whatever else he o take a fortable nap.

  "It's good you only got some light bruising from yht with that moleman king. You know you could've gotten seriously hurt from that close bat fight of yours, right?"

  "I know, but I knew if I had any trouble, gramps and robots would've rushed over to my aid and in a heartbeat and curb stomped the ever living shit out of the moleman king, so it wasn't that dangerous in fact. The fight also allowed me to gain some real hand to hand bat experience, whiowing my goals will make my future endeavors safer for both you and I wheart expl the wastend."

  "So overall I would say it was well worth it and besides, I ied a couple of medstims already, thus I'll be good as new in no time at all."

  As we ed up that bit and moved onto what she had learoday whilst I was in the cave system with grandpa Johing rid of the molemen iion, I received a sudden notification.
