Chapter 118

Ch. 118 Mirage

I shoot [[Kamaitachi]] with my wing while floating in the air. The air blades are definitely sc.r.a.ping the needle camels surface.

From the scooped out body, a viscous liquid like that of a cactus drips and a sweet smell drifts. Even if I’m fighting, my mouth was still salivating.

The needle camel glares at me with its empty sockets while still in its defending posture. The needle camel seems to be in a difficult position. But, there is no reason to get closer. Its HP will still decrease even from afar.

Looking at the exhausted needle camel, it dissolves its defensive posture and stands up. The surrounding sand starts to roll up around the needle camel so as to fit it.

Is this the [[Sandstorm]] skill? Well if it is its not that intense. I can somehow still find my way if it’s like this. It seems that it used [[Mirage]] just when the visibility was getting worse….

Should I continuously use [[Status Check]]? I know it will use up my MP, but. I know its a little cheap to do so, but it won’t be able to deceive my [[Status Check]]. That way I can judge whether its genuine or not.

Ah, blindly shooting off [[Kamaitachi]] is a pretty big burden on the wings. Needless to say, they have both been overworked. I’d better get down soon.

I use [[Status Check]] to check whether the needle camel is real as I drop my alt.i.tude. At that moment, a strange sound came from below. I have a bad feeling, and quickly fall down while twisting.

A pointed sand pillar extends right past me. Immediately after, the pillars of sand broke down and collapsed, making the sandstorm darker.

Because I had forcibly changed my trajectory, my posture collapsed as I fell. I forcibly adjust the direction of my body with [[Roll]] and beat my tail on the ground, to kill the impact of the land. I kick the ground as it is, and fly backwards to take a distance from the needle camel.

Oh, is that it? Does it manipulate the sand and solidify it?

I guess this is the [[Clay]] skill. Certainly the Clay Bear had the same skill. Even if its the same, the needle camels is far bigger.

……That guy, the sand column made using [[Clay]] was hidden with [[Mirage]], and it was done with the help of [[Sandstorm]]. [[Sandstorm]] not only reduced visibility it also obstructed my auditory sense. I did not notice the sound of the sand pillar approaching.

High magical power is dangerous after all. Disregarding myself, I really haven’t confronted the magic type. Thinking back, it seems that there were only muscle brained types in the forest, excluding the black lizard…

I don’t want to get to close to the needle camel, I will just take my time sc.r.a.ping away at it from a distance.

I don’t want to hit it myself since its skin is covered in needles. The momentum will weaken and it won’t give much damage. As long as its HP is steadily decreasing, I can continue using [[Kamataichi]] as is.

Trying to flap my wings to fly, I hear something cutting the wind flying towards me. I guard with my wings and three needles pierced it, sticking to it.

It probably shot while hiding it with [[Mirage]]. I wont be able to see something so thin. Is it getting desperate and decided to hunt instead?

I have to avoid this long distance attack, but the sandstorm is making it difficult to pick up the sound. I can only rely on sight….ohh!

I twisted my body to avoid the needle that flew towards my neck. The other needle moved and I was stuck on my chest.

Woah! Wait!

I just barely decided that I was going to once again believe in my vision! To see it, I will avoid it using the sky’s reflection.

But what if I close my eyes as soon as this happens. I might be misled. If I can’t s

ee it, it will be dangerous if it ends up in a different place.
