There can't be a Harvest Moon in the RimWorld.

But he forgot that the giant deep-sea creature was not an ordinary bipedal being. If it were a bipedal enemy like a human, with its ankle severely injured and tendons severed, it would have absolutely no chance of getting up to attack!

The Deepsea is an amphibian capable of walking on all four legs! Even if it loses one of its main legs, it can still move using the remaining three...

Just as Gray's sword tip was about to touch the belly of the giant Deep One, the monster quickly braced itself on its hands and feet, charged straight at Gray after a brief charge, and used the same fighting style Gray had used before—trading blows for blows!

Gray sensed something was wrong and forcefully twisted his arm, changing the attack of the Rainbow Greatsword from a thrust to a slash, striking the giant Deep One's hip prematurely, resulting in a brutal collision with the deformed spine.

The collision resulted in a gash opening in the waist of the giant deep-sea creature, which leaped away in a pitiful state, its filthy blood flowing across the ground, breathing heavily in the distance.

In the blink of an eye, Gray dodged the massive Deep One's powerful charge, but not the hidden claws. He narrowly missed, and a gruesome wound appeared along his left shoulder to his right waist, instantly staining his clothes crimson with blood.

Gray clutched his wound, clearly feeling a sharp pain surge through it after a moment of numbness. Fortunately, the claw hadn't pierced any internal organs and was still functioning normally.

In this situation, how could he move as quickly as before? The tearing of the wound alone would cause him to bleed to dry.

But a strange light shone in Gray's eyes. He stood rooted to the spot with his sword, breathing slowly and rhythmically...

"I can hold on for another five minutes..."

"Will he fall first, or will I die first...? I'm really looking forward to it..."

Gray muttered to himself, gripping the rainbow greatsword in his right hand and launching another fierce attack!

From that brief glance, he saw that the monster's chest wound had begun to heal. A translucent membrane of skin covered the bleeding wound, visibly layering upon layer, filling the gruesome wound, beneath which new flesh was quietly growing.

The monster was able to survive the blast wave of the previous space-based weapon explosion and become their nightmare precisely because of its powerful self-healing ability.

However, it's clear that this monster's regenerative abilities are inferior to those of the interstellar vampires, who can regenerate severed limbs. If he could unleash a sufficiently powerful attack to damage the monster's limbs, internal organs, brain, or spine, he could suppress it, or even completely destroy this behemoth!

"attack……"

Gray's speed increased again, becoming almost invisible. He swiftly appeared beside the giant deep-sea creature and unleashed a powerful strike!

Unable to dodge due to a foot injury, the Deep Diver could only raise its forearm and rely on the protruding bone spurs to block the attack!

With a loud bang, the Deep One's hard, jade-like bone spikes were instantly covered with cracks, turning into a pile of broken bone fragments.

"Continue the attack..."

Gray did not stop attacking. He forcibly pulled the greatsword that was stuck on the bone spike in his elbow and almost instantly unleashed another rainbow of swords!

The blow struck the giant deep-diving man's arm, piercing through the muscle and shattering the monster's arm bone before finally stopping.

"We absolutely cannot stop..."

If someone looked closely, Gray's current state was extremely abnormal. His veins were bulging, his face was bloodless, and his skin was extremely hot, capable of burning anyone who touched him instantly!

"Heart, blood... everything hold up for me..."

But compared to his rapidly beating heartbeat, his breathing was extremely slow, so slow that it gave the illusion that he had already stopped breathing. So slow that one wondered whether he was breathing the omnipresent air, or something else entirely in this world…

"Just give me a little more strength..."

Gray knew he couldn't stop. If he did, he would lose his advantage and enter a prolonged period of weakening. More likely, he would die from the side effects of this mysterious breathing technique.

He clenched his teeth, his muscles screamed, his bones crumbled, and every organ in his body groaned under the strain. A faint breath accompanied his breathing, flowing from head to toe through his limbs and internal organs, keeping this humanoid machine running...

"...Aaaaaaah!"

But he was still fighting beyond his limits. Gray leaped high into the air, raising the rainbow greatsword above his head, holding it with both hands, and using the immense power erupting from his body, it transformed into a...

A rainbow pierces the sun!

Chapter 186 Rescue Mode

Meanwhile, I was still rushing to the battlefield.

My chosen route was to start from the hot spring inn halfway up the mountain, traverse the dark mountain path, and head directly to the lagoon. From my vantage point, I could see the mining operations in the lake in the distance.

If things could still hold out, I would sneak into the battlefield along the side of the rock wall, seize the opportunity to strike the giant deep-diving creature, draw enough aggro, and rescue Gray.

If things go wrong and Gray is cornered, I'll force my way across the lagoon halfway up the mountain, break into the center of the battlefield to support Gray, and then replace him from the battlefield.

This route across the lake was undoubtedly the most convenient and fastest, but with Harris and Gotz, two wounded men, on my back, I couldn't use my hands to paddle, so I had no choice but to cross the cliff edge.

But to my surprise, a third situation arose before my two well-planned solutions!

As I completed a brief detour and re-entered the main hiking trail of Mount Mads, a dark figure transformed into a shooting star in the sky, tracing a perfect parabola before plummeting down the cliff above.

My first instinct was to dodge, fearing a boulder falling from the mountaintop or a fallen tree trunk would hit me squarely. But then I thought, such a perfect parabolic trajectory must have been caused by an external force. And at this moment, the only creatures on the mountaintop capable of throwing things, besides Gray, were the giant Deep Ones…

"Oh no! Gray's been thrown down!"

I instantly broke out in a cold sweat; the thing I feared most had happened!

I never expected that Gray wouldn't even make it to my destination before being thrown off the cliff by the giant Deep One... Does that mean Gray is in grave danger?

I assessed the landing point, instantly changed direction, and rushed towards the dense forest at the edge of the cliff, trying to catch Gray as he fell.

But the road was too long, and the speed of the fall was too fast; there was simply no way to get there in just a few breaths...

Just as I was finally getting close to the point of impact, the dark figure that had been thrown out had already fallen to the ground before me.

So I could only watch helplessly as the dark figure plummeted from the cliff into the deep, unseen forest, crushing a large number of trees and startling flocks of birds into flight!

"Gray!"

I screamed and rushed toward the woods, calling Gray's name, hoping for a response. But the dense forest was silent except for the swaying trees and the frightened birds circling overhead.

Just then, I heard a comical arpeggio; the colonist system had unlocked a new function.

"Wounded target detected nearby, incapacitated - series of commands activated!"

"Please select a mode: rescue, capture, or kill, and select a target."

"Command description: Once rescue mode is activated, it can disregard the target's size and weight, and place the target in a bed in the rest area as quickly as possible. Depending on the medication plan and medical capabilities, the target will receive a certain degree of treatment."

"Once the prisoner mode is activated, it can ignore the size and weight of the target and place the target in a bed in the prison area as quickly as possible, and then keep the prisoner in the prison."

"When the combat ability is greater than 6 (currently 4), the kill mode will be activated. By striking the vital points of a target with no mobility, a one-hit kill can be achieved."

What are you waiting for!

"Select command: Rescue target!"

I quickly selected the rescue command. With the system's help, there might still be a glimmer of hope to rescue Gray, who was seriously injured after falling off the cliff. The activation of this system also indirectly proved that he had now lost his ability to act.

"System prompt: Target has been automatically selected."

The system notification sounded instantly. The next moment, I shot into the dense forest like an arrow!

My body, controlled by the system, ignored the dense branches and leaves before me, mysteriously sensing the target's location. I grabbed the injured person, lifted them above my head, and broke through the obstacle. Throughout this process, I completed the operation almost entirely in a blind state.

Surprisingly, when I was on the rescue order, I really couldn't feel the weight of the person I was grabbing!

The moment I emerged from the woods, my eyes finally regained their sight, and I could see the scene before me.

Outside the woods, a panting young man staggered towards them, his limbs convulsing, his every movement awkward and uncoordinated. The greatsword that should have been in his hand was nowhere to be seen.

"Boss..." the guy said breathlessly, looking at me with surprise.

Gray?!

What's this guy doing here?!

I was startled and looked up to see what I was holding above my head with both hands—a gigantic alien monster.

This monster, over four meters tall and barely breathing, was actually grabbed by the muscles on its shoulder and back. Ignoring its half-ton body, I forcibly lifted it above my head, with bluish-green blood still trickling from the corner of its mouth...

Damn it...

I was too far away at the time, so I mistook the monster that had fallen off the cliff for Gray and rescued it...

But who would have thought that it was that bastard Gray who knocked the four-meter-tall monster off the cliff!

This doesn't make sense!

The awkward scene lasted for five seconds, neither side recovering from the chaos. In Gray's eyes, he saw a man holding a monster aloft. In my eyes, however, was a humanoid monster overpowering a giant!

Finally, Gray spoke haltingly, his eyes filled with astonishment and admiration!

"As expected of the boss! He actually... actually managed to track down the monster and catch it before I did!"

...It seems that he mistook my rescue of the monster for a capture operation.

"...Of course!" It's better to admit it now. After all, it's better to let his imagination run wild than to explain why he ended up with a monster.

It's all this system's fault! When I was moving things, there was a human weight limit. How come I became omnipotent during rescue missions? The colonist system is way too arbitrary!

Because I felt weightless, I didn't realize that the person I was rescuing wasn't Gray, who weighed only a hundred or so pounds, but a monster weighing half a ton...

Fortunately, these commands have a "no capacity to act" restriction, otherwise I could have picked up a Tyrannosaurus Rex right away.

"Boss...it's all up to you now, I can't hold on any longer..."

All that could be heard was his heavy exhale, the temperature so high it almost scorched the air, distorting the light like steam rising from a concrete road in summer.

After he finished speaking, Gray's previously tense limbs made a series of snapping sounds, as if his muscles and bones, stretched to their limit, had finally returned to their normal positions after losing the restraint of external forces.

The consequence of this was that Gray's entire body emitted a surge of heat, and from his eyeballs to his skin, his skin was covered in a terrifying dark red stain from ruptured capillaries. He collapsed to the ground, coughing up blood in textbook-perfect slow motion, as if under a slow-motion spell...

"Cancel the rescue order!"

I quickly canceled the work order, threw the unconscious monster heavily to the ground, and ran to Gray's side.

"Grey... what's wrong?! Ouch... it's so hot!"

Just as I was about to grab Gray's shoulders, I felt a surge of heat rise up, almost scalding my face. Gray, lying on his back, weakly uttered his last words.

"Quickly take care of that monster..."

Chapter 187 Memorable Scenes

The enormous monster let out a series of labored, panting breaths, lying on the ground, unable to struggle. From where the monster lay, a murky river of blood gradually flowed, corroding the soil with a soft, hissing sound.

Even lying on the ground, I could see a hideous wound that stretched from the chest of the giant deep-sea creature in both directions to its torso, almost tearing this huge and evil body apart.

Upon closer inspection, one can see gruesome wounds on both the giant deep-sea creature's left and right arms. The left arm is the most severely injured; not only is the jagged bone spur extending from the elbow broken, but the arm itself has also been cleaved open by a sharp blade, leaving only some skin and flesh connecting it.

The right arm appeared relatively minor, at least from the outside. It only showed some scratches, suggesting it was impacted during the fall, but the limb folded at an odd angle and cushioning its fall indicated internal comminuted fractures.

Even more tragically, most of its towering dorsal fin had been sliced ​​off by a single sword strike. Its entire body was covered in shattered scales and mutilated limbs, as if it had been struck by something terrifying.

Of course, I know that what caused all of this was not the car accident or the meteorite, but the unconscious boy in front of me.
