Chapter 110
Ch . 110 King Centipede
The carriage being chased by the huge centipede seems to be nearing its limit soon .
The breath of the horse is staggering, unable to endure the speed; the wheel of the carriage begins to creak .
Disregarding how the carriage looks, it’s quite firm . The form is simple and without decoration . The wheels are too big, unshapely even, as if it was built being unaware of its size . I don’t know its intended purpose but it seems to be strong . But, it can crash at anytime if it continues at its present speed .
I relaxed my rolling after getting close enough to the huge centipedes tail, I stretch out a claw and throw myself . It had [[Paralysis resistance]] but this should work even if a little bit! Using the speed of the turn I flung myself like a brick with [[Paralysis claw]] .
It is resisted by the body’s sand-colored surface, and a claw is broken .
The body is too hard . This…is not only because of its defense . If I recall, this is probably the characteristic skill I saw of the giant centipede [[Kings Shell]] . I wasn’t able to break the surface; I instead received a little bit of damage!
I managed to regain my collapsed posture by force, and then stabbed my fang at the exact same spot my claw was beaten up .
Did it stick?
Yes, but it is shallow . Although the surface of the huge centipede became recessed and my teeth caved in, they are not broken . I guess it is too hard . I thought my fang would break .
I can’t release it here . Hanging by the fangs of my lower jaw, I gnaw at the huge centipede . Although I managed to hurt it, my abdomen rubbed against the desert land .
Compared to the back, the belly has thinner scales . It is painful being dragged . It hurts and is starting to burn . It’s a momentum that is likely to catch fire with friction .
Moreover, I can’t do anything or else I won’t be able to hold on . I can’t afford to let it go . If I open my mouth here I will fall behind . The carriage cannot endure that speed anymore .
“GuuuuuUU!”
I raise my voice while my mouth is closed . The huge centipede ignores it and keeps running .
Even if I try putting in more of my weight as much as possible, I guess it’s almost unchanged . This guy, what did you eat to manage this? Oh, a carriage or something . Well, I will grow up . It’s more like it’s been eating a lot of trees .
Although it is slight, it is definitely slowing down . The horse-drawn carriage is faster if it’s dragging me . The distance with the carriage is beginning to open steadily .
But I cannot keep going in my present condition . My belly is still rubbing and its nearing its limit . The horse carriage will slow down at a stretch soon, as you could see the fatigue of the horse . If this continues, I will also reach the same state .
However, I can’t do anything with my hands just floating here, in the first place this position is a little…The centipede will catch up with the carriage any moment, and at that point all you could do is maintain the status quo . Isn’t there something good?
“GIGIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIishi!”
The huge centipede roars loudly . The horse staggered a bit from that but it picked up quickly .
That was close, lets cool down, cool…cool . The moment when I felt relieved, I can see a red light gathering on the head of the gigantic centipede . This was this possibly the long-distance skill of the gigantic centipede that I checked a while ago, [[Heat ray]]!!!?
If a beam like that leaves such a big body the carriage will be blown away . Just looking at it you could tell it is not a small technique . It is a single blow certain death type of skill . I managed to change the way it was going about it, but it would be nice if you would change your target .
Is there any way to stop it? No, it is impossible . I will not even reach it with the maximum speed of [[Roll]] . It’s not something that you have to stop . If I could divert the trajectory of [[Heat ray]] even a little, I will be able to manage .
Fortunately, the gigantic centipede seems to be fully concentrated on preparation for [[Heat ray]], and it slows down a little . If it’s like this, I can also adjust my position . I managed to lift my legs to a standing position; I pull out my claws and stomp in the desert sand .
With this, stop eeeH!
While loudly scattering dust clouds I continue to be dragged forward . Although I was able to slow it down again, the gigantic centipede still does not stop . Moreover, it aligns the tip of its head with the carriage and is preparing to emit a [[Heat ray]] . It is already an atmosphere where it will shoot anytime .
At this point I can’t just stop it . Right now, at this moment, I have to change the direction of the giant centipede .
Then, how about this . I spread my wings while biting its back and kick the ground with full power and jump .
The lower body of the giant centipede floated in the air . My body dances in the sky like a kite and is swung around by the running centipede . I cannot lift anymore . That fellow can still run in such a state?
A bright red light is emitted in a straight line from the head of the gigantic centipede . The point where the light goes through greatly shakes . It has a considerable heat .
The giant centipede moves its head to adjust the angle which was forcibly changed . While burning off the sand, the aim of the light moves left and right . The shaking ray goes behind the carriage, to its sides and in front . The sand where the light rays hit makes a “jiyuushi” sound and leaves black burn marks .
This is bad, it’ll hit the carriage at this rate . That’s it . Since im in the air I start moving my body recklessly . The aim of the light rays becomes confusing .
A light ray grazed the upper part of the carriage . The part broke and was scattered catching fire . What…are you kidding me? No, it’ll disappear at this rate…or .
It burnt down the cactus in an irrelevant direction, and the [[Heat ray]] stopped . Have you managed to get away? It is a tremendous power . I will die if I were to directly receive such a thing .
When I took a breath of relief, the giant centipede began accelerating again . Did it direct its focus it had for [[Heat ray]] to running?
The gigantic centipede puts weight on its lower body and is going back to the ground . Even though I tried to fly backwards with my wings fluttering, the fight was futile and I was sent flying towards the desert sand instead .
There was a strong pain in my fangs . I was shocked by the impact . I was flung off the shell of the giant centipede against the ground, and a fang was taken away .
Naturally I could not keep on struggling and I was released . I was hitting the ground vigorously rolling on the spot . The giant centipede released from me accelerates and keeps chasing the carriage . Was it because it was lighter? It is faster than it was in the beginning .
I got up in a hurry after stopping from rolling even if I was in a dazed state . The giant centipede accelerates and the carriage slows down as the horse is exhausted . Before saying whether I can stop it or not, I thought that things would end before I caught up . That was clear to me .
I waste a thought and stand up ignoring the pain . I can see my own fang with flesh in sight, but immediately concentrate my consciousness only on the giant centipede in front of me . Do not think about anything unnecessary . Now, just think about catching up to that .
