162 3rd floor complete (1/2)

John reappeared on top of the sand, thanks to deprehendre, he could see the centipede's movements and figure clearly.

The only problem now was...

”Getting out of the ground...” John muttered

However, his worries were quickly misplaced as the sand underneath his legs began to pull him in

[It's coming]

”I know.” Said John before shadow stepping 5 meters away

As he did, a the head of a giant centipede came out of the area where he was standing. Seeing as how it missed the centipede continued to move and was about to engulf it's head back into the sand when all of the sudden

”Nolite indurare” The Area where the centipede was aiming for suddenly turned into rock, making it slam it's head straight into it.

*Slam*

But even with that impact it looked unfazed and simply crawled backwards back through the way it came out of.

Seeing this, John turned the sand where it was retreating into to rock, but had no luck, it was going down the same hole it had come out of, and there was not enough dense sand in the hole.

Seeing this, John shadow stepped right in front of it, before he muttered

”Saint-Class ice magic: Cavea principalis densa glacies ” Translation: Dense Ice Cage

Four ice walls rose around the giant centipede, forming a big cube. After that, Spiky ice pillars extended from the ice walls before heading straight towards the centipede to pierce it.

However, on contact with its skin, the pointy edge of the ice pillar broke and the centipede successfully managed to retreat back into the sand pit

”... I knew it'd be hard but...”

[Looks like the only weakness is in it's mouth... Alright, we'll end it in this attack.]

”I guess I'll go for the head.” Said John as he stood still and acted like he didn't know where it was

He was trying to bait the boss by making him think that he was vulnerable, and it didn't take long for it to bite the bait.

”Serena, Ariel are you ready!?” John shouted as he looked up

He hadn't checked on them earlier because he was focused on the centipede, but now that he was able to check, A grin was formed on his face

”If I'm not careful... those two may end up passing me”

[Bold of you to assume that they already haven't.]

They hadn't replied and seemed completely imersed in their spell, even for John, to do a spell like that alone would be insanely difficult.

Suddenly the shaking on the ground got louder and louder, it was heading straight to john from underground

”It's here” John muttered as he jumped up

Following his jump, the head of a centipede with it's opened mouth came out of the ground.

John cast both 'levite' and velox but made sure to stay close to him so that it could think that it was about to eat him any second.

[Just a bit more...] John muttered

[How long is this thing...?]
