Chapter 137 (2/2)

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 an

d 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 sc.r.a.ped 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 sc.r.a.ped 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 sc.r.a.ped 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 pa.s.sageway, 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 s.p.a.ce, 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.
