Chapter 137
Ch . 137 Centipede Beam
“GiJiJiJiJiJii!”
A straight red light shoots out from the huge centipedes head .
It came, the centipedes beam finally came .
Be positive . I have to think positive!
It is a dilemma, but it should also be an opportunity .
Evade it without decelerating, and shake it off!
Concentrate, its over if I get hurt .
I won’t die immediately if I do, but if it hinders [[Roll]], then I’ll fall prey to the huge centipede .
Complete evasion, there is no other choice .
I move to the left a little .
A straight line of red light penetrates the place I was at just seconds before .
It continues on through the sand and raises smoke from where it hits .
It still doesn’t end .
The straight line of red light moves along closer chasing after me uninterrupted . The hot air coils around me as if it was living, making me feel the heat through my scales .
Is this a sense of intimidation .
My sense of meeting death increases and so does my speed as a result, making me move further to the left to escape from the [[Heat Ray]] .
The red light quickly moves over, following me .
Oh, this is impossible .
As expected, I should fly .
The attack lasts for way too long . This is a cheat .
Fortunately, as it was passing through the ground or hills, I could jump and avoid the red light like a jumping rope .
I pass within inches over the [[Heat Ray]] under me .
It was regrettable .
After all, it is impossible to avoid the centipedes beam on a two dimensional plane . Being able to move in three dimensions on a three dimensional plane is required .
The [[Heat Ray]] rises towards me who was still in the air .
What? You’re kidding!
Why has it not finished attacking yet!?
I guess I really need to pack my MP into avoiding this!
I already seriously, dislike huge centipedes!
If I was unlucky, I would have already been killed three times!
I slightly stretch out my wing to the side while rolling to deviate my center of gravity and barely manage to avoid it .
The [[Heat Ray]] passes right beside me from the bottom up . Even though I wasn’t hit, my scales were hot and got a little burnt .
The fatigue also starts hitting my body, but my mental exhaustion is even worse off .
What the heck is with this monster beam .
The [[Heat Ray]] comes down diagonally above me, who just got to the ground . I sharply bend to the right while feeling death behind me .
Maybe my [[Roll]] got faster since I’m being chased .
[Normal Skill [[Roll]]’s Lv increased from 6 to 7] [Title Skill [[Chicken Runner]]’s Lv increased from 2 to 3]
Yeah!
Although the name of the title skill is completely bad, right now it’s my salvation .
They decided to be merciful to me on the verge of hell .
I can visibly see an increase in my speed .
Even though I should be considerably far away from the huge centipedes body, the [[Heat Ray]] is still not finished .
I can’t shake it .
It literally shoots through the surroundings at the speed of light . Since its specifically aiming at me, I barely managed to avoid it but if it were shooting recklessly then I surely would have been killed already .
The [[Heat Ray]] hits the ground just behind me . The sound of burning and smoke rises .
The other side of the food chain should be rather tough .
That’s why its frantic right now as you will surpass this if you escape .
You can run away if you could last a few seconds .
If I manage to escape, I will someday be ranked AAA+++, then I’ll exterminate all of the huge centipedes in the desert .
I’m trembling thinking and waiting for that time time to come!
The [[Heat Ray]]’s light starts to shake .
Finally, it seems that the time limit of the huge centipede has come .
However, now that the stream is not consistent it’s difficult reading the movement .
I cannot afford to get hit after coming this far .
If I jump right at the small hill, and continue along a right angle, the [[Heat Ray]] should end by then .
Let’s go .
I should be able to do it .
The moment I was getting ready to jump as I was climbing the hill, the [[Heat Ray]] sharply moved from left to right and scraped off my scales as if it was paper, along with an edge of my body .
Pain was emanating throughout my body .
It was no longer hot but, an acute pain of meat being scraped away .
“Gugu!”
I wanted to shout, but then I remembered that the ball rabbit and Nina were in my mouth and I somehow managed to close it .
But I could no longer keep using [[Roll]], as I was thrown to the ground with a crawling posture . Dragged by inertial force, my abdominal scales were being scraped away by friction with the sand .
My head hurts, my sight is dull . My senses aren’t coming together .
After stopping, I move my neck and look behind me .
Ironically, it was just where the [[Heat Ray]] had stopped .
“GiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJiJii!”
The ruler of the desert comes closer .
Having confirmed victory, its speed isn’t that fast .
However, it was impossible to correct my posture and escape now .
Ah… . this, I’m dead .
At the very least, I want Nina and the ball rabbit to escape .
I looked to the front to open my mouth, then I saw a large hole opened on the ground . The sand is hardened around the hole and its reddish brown .
I crawl on the ground and approach the large hole . Anyway, I had to flee the centipede .
It was a big hole that I approached without thinking, but the size was one size larger than I was . It seemed like the huge centipede was getting closer, but I could not move my legs like I wanted to .
I kick the ground and spread my wings, and jump into the big hole head first .
Without changing to [[Roll]] I go in as is .
Apparently it’s some kind of underground passageway, the interior is also paved red-brown sand all around .
It is regrettable, but it’s better paved then the cave I had .
I can use earth magic so I’m confident in my strength, but it looks considerably better here .
However, the location is too severe for a residence . It’s in the middle of the desert .
Perhaps… . are these ruins or something?
“GiJiJiJiJiJiJiJii!”
Following after me, the huge centipede sticks its head in . As it catches up to me it collides with my back and I’m blown away .
Hitting my head against the ceiling and falling back on my back, it was fortunate that this happened .
I was able to take a distance thanks from being blown away .
After all, the huge centipede seems to be unable move its legs properly in this aisle, stopping its movement behind me, as it desperately wiggles around .
“GiJii!” “GiJiJiJiJii!”
You are hitting the wall with all your strength but it doesn’t look like the wall will collapse .
Even if it looks like it could use its feet to attack, it doesn’t seem I need to worry about the walls being broken like that .
It might be possible to cut through it with your teeth, but when you’re facing that direction it’s impossible .
It would reach me if it were to shoot out [[Heat Ray]] in this narrow space, but it looks like it doesn’t have enough stamina .
I managed to run away but now I can’t get out .
My only hope is trying to find where this leads to .
