章 38: Dungeon (4)
While realising my new status and massive increase in strength I heard a loud clicking and creaking sound. The Arachne queen. She looked just like any other Arachne other than her aura and her red spider body.
'System what's its rank?'
..
<*ping*>
Rank:[C]
..
'Just my luck.'
With my new ton of levels my strength along with all my other stats increased significantly. I was now at a mid C - rank adventurer bordering on peak C - rank.
Of course with my new strength I could definitely fight the Arachne queen but I would have to evolve because the Arachne queen would definitely give me more than two levels. If I had to evolve here that would be bad. Scarlet would find out about my race if I evolve right here so I didn't want to do that nor go through evolution delay pains. I had no choice but to because Scarlet would only step in if it's beyond what I can do.
'I guess I've got to fight.'
I readied Adonis in front of me and allowing [Inferno] and [Fire blade] to combine and engulf my blade which produced a strong heat in the air surrounding me. The Arachne queen wasted no time and leaped at me and I didn't have enough time to dodge so I had to block. I held up Adonis and once it's long boney leg got in range I used my sword to guide it to the side and away from me which worked wonders.
After pushing its leg to the side I quickly slashed down at its joint and broke its leg off. From the momentum of the Arachne queen thrusting it's leg forth to it being pushed away and injured caused it to stumble forwards right at me. I used this chance to thrust my sword at its body but the queen managed to jump away once regaining its balance.
The Arachne queen then stared me down inspecting me head to toe and making a proper evaluation before going back in to strike. Of course I didn't allow it and darted forward at full sped which startled the Arachne queen and slashed diagonally down from its right side that created a deep cut through its chest as it didn't take into account my full speed and had no time to block or dodge.
The queen let out a long and painful screech which echoed throughout the caves causing small bits of rock to fall from the ceiling.
The queen then slashed down with its legs and thrusted with another in an attempt to harm me which failed as I dodged each stroke before actually striking again myself. This time I leapt above the Arachne queen and did a front flip and guided my sword to come crashing down on the queens head.
My sword didn't pierce through but it left a deep wound that leaked green blood down its face and onto the floor in little splatters. The Arachne queen swayed side to side a little before trying to focus again. Without warning a giant earth worm came out from the ground beneath me in attempt to swallow me while. I noticed this surprise attack thanks to my skill [Spacial awareness] and leapt out of the way in time.
'System what's the rank?'
..
<*ping*>
Rank:[B]
..
'That's just lower than double my strength! If this thing is here then what is the boss's level and rank going to be? A -rank? Higher?' Too many questions about the dungeon came into my head which I left at the back of my mind as now I had to focus on fighting something a rank above me and the Arachne queen which was almost dead.
Without delay I shot a wind bullet at the Arachne queens head which went straight through leaving a hole all the way through as the queens body dropped lifelessly to the ground with a soft thud and dust going into the air.
..
<*ping*>
< You have killed Arachne queen x1 >
< You have gained 684 EXP >
< You can evolve >
..
'Now is definitely not the time for an evolution.'
I leapt back away from the giant earth worm and prepared myself. I slashed horizontally at the worm sending a wind blade towards it which was ineffective against its strong body.
'This isn't going to be easy.'
"Hey Scarlet what's you opinion on dragons?" I called out still on guard against the worm which didn't move and just stayed there with half its body above ground.
"What's it matter?" She replied.
"Just answer."
"I think they are magnificent beings. I don't believe we should kill them for our gain then title them 'evil'. Personally I would love to meet them and hopefully not fight."
"Good answer. I hope you stick with that as I don't think I can take this thing lightly, it's B rank."
"I'll step in then." Scarlet replied confident yet confused at my random question.
"No need, let me try something."
And with that I released my [Transform] and my tail, wings and horns grew back.
"Keep this a secret alright?" I said at the shocked Scarlet.
I knew that if I was in my 'true form' I would have greater strength than I do now but I don't want to show Scarlet my true form. I didn't even want to show her this but I wanted to fight and not rely on someone else like a human.
I spread my wings and darted towards the worm in the air and with my sword readied in front of me. I was within range of the worm but it rammed into me with its head and grew little legs out from its body. It no longer looked like a worm but something that resembled a massive centipede or millipede. It had pincers in front of its mouth and multiple rows of sharp teeth inside its mouth.
I went tumbling back and landed on my feet, skidding and kicking up dust as I was dragged back by the force of the blow. Thankfully I wasn't injured.
I transformed Adonis back into it stone form in my hand and used my skill [Scratch] as i pounced at the worm digging my claws into it with a little struggle trying to get through its thick skin. Then using [Thrust] I thrusted my tail into its body after coating the tip of my tail in Poison to hopefully poison the worm. I then ripped my tail out along with my claws and jumped back to a safe distance away.
The worm was having none of it.
It let out a long screech as it changed at me with its mouth open and released a poison breath onto me. Since it was stronger than me the effect from [Poison manipulation] didn't work and I was poisoned. Despite that fact it felt like barely a tickle although I was coughing up blood.
I extended my claws out of my hands and coated them with fire and poison but I was unsure if my poison would effect it but that didn't matter. Worth a try.
I leaped at its head and stuck it with all my might sending its head flying back from the impact and leaving marks on its head which burned and released a purple smoke.
The worm steadied itself and dived under ground, in the process it disappeared from my [Spacial awareness].
'Does it have a skill to avoid detection?' I thought as I focused below me.
Although all my focus was on the ground I hadn't realised the worm that was about to come out and swallow me.
In a loud rumble the worm came out from the ground and swallowed me. I went past its teeth which scratched against my skin making me bleed even with my toughened skin and down into the belly of the beast.
"Kiera!" I heard Scarlet shout as the worms mouth closed leaving me in the darkness.
