God of Tricksters-Novel

1618 Threat

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

*Bang!*

The birds continuously hit them as if trying to destroy the plane, but the barrier that the pillar erected protected them the whole time. Not even a single scratch was visible on the surface.

"Hmm, this is good data." Rea narrowed her eyes. "Although the airplane has a special engine that won't bother the monsters and alarm them, we can't do anything if we meet them on the way.

"Without the pillar, there should be something that can attack them or protect this airplane. We're near the coast, so we can slowly descend, but if we're in the middle of nowhere, we're fucked up.

"So, there is a need for a barrier as well as a weapon that can destroy them. Well, what do you think about an air balloon, Teacher?" Rea asked.

"Air balloon?"

"I mean, we have a huge balloon in the sky. They move at the speed of a helicopter, which allows us to fight on top of it." novelenglish.net . Firᴇ.net

"But flying above the ocean is problematic."

"That's true." Rea nodded with a serious expression. "There are a lot of things we can try in the future, but for now, the pillar is enough."

"Yeah. Anyway, record everything before I handle them." Theo nodded while informing the stewardesses. "Tell them it's fine to maintain the current speed. I'll handle the monsters."

The stewardesses were still panicking. Their faces were pale because they couldn't handle all these monsters, let alone hope to survive an accident like this.

They could survive the whole time due to Theo, not anything else. This was the danger of flying in a world filled with monsters. Still, they had to inform the pilots about Theo's words, so they went to the cockpit.

After a while, Rea gave a thumbs up, signaling Theo she had done gathering the data.

"Alright." Theo waved his hand and used his Telekinesis to strike the flying monsters. Even though the airplane's speed was slowed down with this new engine, it was still quite fast. His Telekinesis alone stopped the birds for one second, allowing the airplane to gain a distance of five hundred feet from these monsters.

The monsters tried to catch up, so Theo waved his hand down and pushed these monsters downwards. In the end, the monsters couldn't catch up to them anymore.

Rea glanced at the outside and tried to feel everything around her, making sure there was no monster around their airplane anymore.

"It seems we're safe. Even if we can commercialize the flight, it's still more dangerous compared to the flights before the apocalypse." Rea sighed.

"Maya will take care of that." Theo shook his head. "Besides—!"

Theo suddenly fell silent when looking outside.

"Teacher?" Rea was confused and tried to find out what happened but to no avail. Theo's eyes were glued to the bottom as though he had seen something.

Theo furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Can you lower the altitude of this plane?"

"I'll tell them. It should be fine since there is no plane flying in the air other than us." Rea nodded and walked to the pilots to inform them about Theo while she tried to see what Theo was observing with the bigger window in the cockpit.

When they lowered their altitude, Rea widened her eyes and pointed at the sea. "What's that?"

The co-pilot stood up to check what was wrong and found a movement on the sea.

It looked like there were ants swarming the beach, but there was no way ants could be visible from this altitude.

"Lower the altitude a bit more," Rea ordered while narrowing her eyes. "Do you have any binoculars here?"

"Yes." The co-pilot nodded and hurriedly walked away, bringing what she wanted.

It didn't take a whole minute before he returned with the binoculars.

Rea immediately used it and tried to see what was going on before gasping.

"This is…" Rea paused for a moment. Her hands were shaking, realizing this matter was much different than she originally thought. "Are you serious?"

What she saw were actually crabs. The crabs had grown so much that each of them had the size of a truck, from a normal truck to a container truck.

"This is not good." Rea handed the binoculars to the co-pilot before moving back to the cabin to see Theo. "Teacher."

"Yeah, yeah. I can see it." Theo nodded with a serious expression. "It seems that the situation is worse than I expected…"

"What should we do now? From what I saw earlier, there are many crabs. They can walk on the land and cause devastation… It'll be hard to stop that number. And…" Rea scratched the back of her head. "…the crabs are bringing a huge amount of trash. What should we do with this?"

Theo pinched the bridge of his nose, contemplating.

"What are they planning to do with the trash? I mean, I can understand that they're trying to clean up the sea by throwing back the trash we once threw…" Rea clutched her head while sighing. "Ugh. Why did people not throw the trash in trash cans?"

"…" Theo closed his eyes for a moment and said, "I want you to call three people as soon as we're on the ground. Tell your father to check the coast. After that, warn my Grandfather about this threat. They have to look everywhere carefully. All the cities near the sea are extremely dangerous right now, so prepare for an evacuation. Look everywhere carefully.

"Last but not least, I want you to tell Maya to speed up the preparation. I'm afraid we won't be the only ones to get attacked. The people on the western side will face the same problem."

"I understand. What will you do, Teacher?"

"I will…" Theo looked through the window once again and said, "I'll investigate this matter personally. Also, tell them to lower the altitude a bit more and open the emergency exit for me. Drop me here."

"Drop you here… Do you think this is a bus or something?" Rea sighed while shaking her head helplessly. Though, she still followed Theo's words. Theo had his Telekinesis, so he would be fine after falling from this airplane.

So, the pilot lowered their altitude as Theo stood in front of the exit, preparing to jump.
