บท 1280: A worthy opponent?

In the dim light of the tunnel, the mass of writhing, metallic centipedes presented a nightmarish sight. 

Their bodies intertwined and coiled around each other, creating a wall of moving metal and sharp appendages. The sound of their movement was like the clattering of a thousand swords, a cacophony that echoed through the tunnels.

Liam assessed the situation with a cool head. The sheer number of centipedes meant that this was likely the heart of the nest, the central point from which they were all controlled or originated. 

It was also possible that the boss monster or, the central figure controlling these creatures, was nearby. He would have to defeat that probably to get out of this floor.

Since the individual centipedes themselves did not present much threat, he left Luna to handle the other matters and stepped into the nest with his sword drawn out.
