Into The Portal: Monster Invasion

Chapter 85: Young Master?

Coin drove the ivory car between dense trees and rocks with great caution while Miles laid hurt on the backseat. The last thing Coin wanted to do at the moment was hurt his friend by creating turbulence. As a capable AI, he would follow the map, check on Miles, and drive the car, simultaneously.

Coin floated inside the car with its 360 built-in camera turned on to get a full view of the road - front and back. He then noticed a steep curve of the road up ahead and had to slow down. He did so and turned right. As soon as the car turned, Coin noticed a long spear came flying towards them.

At that moment, Coin calculated the spear's trajectory, length, angle, level, and the defense of the car that he needed to take to provide safety for Miles in a split second as he drove the car into a steep right turn. Should he stop the car to a full stop, or should he accelerate? These questions came to him as he controlled the vehicle behind the wheel.

If the car accelerates all of a sudden, the flying spear would pierce through the seat and stab Miles. The inertia wouldnt affect Miles, leaning to the backseat. But in case of full stop, the initiate would rocket the teen to the front, worsening his injuries.

As he ran out of time to calculate further, Coin chose the least fatal scenario. He quickly turned the wheel to the left as hard as he could. The car then swayed in turbulence.

However, it was not enough to avoid the incoming attack.

The long spear stabbed through the windshield into the driver seat, piercing through where Miles's legs rested.

At that moment, Coin had throttled on the brakes to a full stop. He then looked at the thing that made all this happen and had finally taken a look at what seemed to be a spear. It had pierced through from the driver seat to the back of it.

GAHH! Miles's scream notified dutiful wristwatch that the attack landed on his companion.

Coin then quickly checked on Miles. He was relieved to see his companion still alive with only his leg pierced by the spear. The spear missed his arteries, but his bone was still pierced.

Miles had awoken by the sudden turn and pain. Luckily, he was still conscious and had moved his legs, evading the spear cutting his veins.

All of these took less than a second, with the car hitting a person with great force.

Miles and Coin saw this person holding the spear in his hands. It was their assailant. He then took out the spear and jumped away from them to mid-air with the weapon still in hand as he looked down upon them.

All in all, their assailant came flying with the spear but was hit by the car when he clashed with the vehicle.

With his body still aching, Miles got out of the car with Coin strapped to his wrist. Miles was limping with a great deal of pain coursing through his body. Luckily imminent pain shadowed the others, giving to teen a breathing room.

"Son of a bitch attacked while I am injured and in pain! Miles grunted and fished out his new lightning sword and charged it with its energy.

He looked at the person descending from the rock he landed after he jumped off the car, who then walked towards him with blood at the side of his mouth. It seemed he had internal bleeding from force clashed against his body.

Other than that, his clothes were still bloody, and his face was blanched.

He was looking furious with anger gushing out from his ice-blue eyes. His blond hair was straggly, and his armor was as if hurt by monster claws. He looked at Miles with arrogance and yelled out, How dare you attack me, you low life?

Miles swore he was pulling people with problems and resisting the impulse to shred this bastard to pieces and spoke calmly. He would kill the person who attacked him if he wasnt so injured. But now that he was in so much pain, he could only talk with the assailant and avenge later. You were the one attacked first, what the hell are you talking about?

I have the right to attack you. I have the right to kill you, make you my slave, you maggot. You are nothing but a freeloader saved by my grandaunt, so kneel on the ground and beg for forgiveness. Then take out all your orbs. I lost mine in the fight. The assailant said as if he was saying something normal.

Blood rushed to Miless brain, and he was about to lose his sanity. He calmed down and asked. Who the fuck do you think you are, you piece of shit? Or maybe not so calm.

How dare you insult me, you lowlife! I am the grandnephew of General Strankov, and I am an elite member of the Strankov family. The assailant said, looking at Miless face to see fear.

Miles's face crumpled as he looked at the person like a joke. Why do all relatives of Generals find trouble with me? He shook his head and looked at the person with a frown. General Strankov was the only female general among the three.

The assailant thought Miles was scared and nodded with triumph, and continued, Now you know this father is Ivan Strankov, you can kneel on the ground. Ivan spoke haughtily despite Miless ever-increasing anger. His way of talking like stupid character of a trash novel further increased Miles anger.

Miles looked at the injured Ivan and calculated in his mind. His body was still aching, and he could hardly move his body. But the person in front of him tried to kill him and wouldnt let him go. Since he was at a disadvantage, there wasnt much he could do but wait for him to attack. If he could spot a weakness in an enemy's attack, maybe he could kill him. Miles secretly pulled the maroon orb and kept his hand at his back.

Miles looked at Ivan and spat out, You think you are hot shit because you are a relative of a loser General? Miles hit the soft spot of Ivan on purpose to anger him.

General Rutha Strankov was a powerful woman, but she was even more cunning. Even though she was working for Unity, she always planned to gain more control.

Miles heard his grandfather and his father talk about it all the time. So, he knew the ins and outs of the situation a little.

When the great riot started, the three generals fought side by side to stop the mutiny. At the time there were too many criminal organizations attacked all together with lots of rallied citizens. All of these turned out to be the leader of the Starve Cleric's plan to divert the generals eyes and sneak into Mother AI to destroy her.

Cruel Heart Cross wanted Rutha to stay at the base to protect the Mother AI, but lady general Strankov had the same title as Cruel Heart, and she wouldnt take orders from him. When two other generals left, she left the Mother AI alone and went to behead Starve Cleric on her own.

If it wasnt for the leader of the Lemaze family saving Mother AI and stall leader of the Starve Cleric until Cruel Heart and General Tian arrive, it would have been too late.

After that, General Strankov got reprimanded. Her influence decreased tremendously. The name loser general was a sore spot for the Strankov family.

Miles's purpose was to aggravate Ivan so he would attack in a rush.

He succeeded in doing so. In the next second, the pale blond teen attacked with battle roar.
