章節 45: Ambush (1)
Without any hesitation, I started running away from the Kroligator, without any proper destination. All I need was to bring these pillars down as I try to survive its onslaught.
Kkkk!
It screams with a somewhat erratic look on its face and movements. It was probably annoyed by how long it took to catch me.
" I would like you to keep on being mad there Lanky. "
But stop screaming so loud, I'm getting PTSD from getting chased by reptilian Inters.
Krrraaa!!! It starts to form an excessive amount of acid in its mouth as it starts to sprint while hopping in my direction. The acid was running wild spilling all over the place, and as everyone would expect it, it was corroding everything it spilled on, even the concrete it was running it causing it to stumble. I would've laughed if it didn't look so crazy. It made it look even more menacing when it keeps on running despite it somehow stumbling from the floor.
The parking lot was generally huge, most likely encapsulating the whole mall. I do have space to work here. Though I was faster due to my skills and stats as a Guardian, I was getting chased by an Elite- Inter here. Plus it runs on four legs. I wouldn't be able to outrun it, so using the pillars is obviously what I was going to do, that was the whole objective here after all. But unexpectedly, it erratically exerts acid from its mouth. This bull chase suddenly became a crumbling tiles game where you can't step where you already did due to the massive amounts of corroded debris blocking my path and also the acid that would eliminate me in an instant.
Tsk...
Since it's basically impossible to break all the pillars due to the rumbling floor, there's only one way to somehow do this thing. Besides breaking all the pillars would just trap me inside with this thing.
I'd have to run in the farthest wall away from the entrance.
Easier said than done... As I can't even do the simplest thing I wanted to.
Shit...
It's way smarter than it looks...
I kept on leading it towards rushing down a pillar but every time I do, It just ignores it and swerves on the sides.
I was gaining distance as it does so though, due to its massive length and the corrosive acid, it had difficulty in swerving. The pillars were somehow weakening from the spilling acid, but it still wasn't enough to make it crumble. It had to rush towards it and break it either from force or from huge amounts of acid.
Besides, how fucking full is this guy's acid glands?. How could it just continue to spew acid like it's nothing? Was it gathering mana and turning them into acid?
Regardless it seemed to have an infinite supply of it so I could only continue running.
As it doesn't seem to want to run into the pillars, I only have the choice to make it do so. Sounds dumb and something that I just spat out of my mouth without thinking, but no. This Kroligator seems to be quite persistent in catching me, but it was also irritatable when it fails to do so constantly.
I don't have much space, and time before the floor turns into one massive hole but there's no other choice.
" Are your long legs for design you bastard! " I shout out loud, trying to stir it up trying to speed up his irritation.
Kkkk...
" Dehydrated horse looking, bastard that runs like a snail. "
...
It couldn't even understand me at all, but I could feel its emotion suddenly somehow shifting from loud screeching to absolute silence.
Shit... did it calm down and mistook my insults as me screaming for my life?
I was nearing the end of the wall already, but it still wasn't mad...
" Can you at least walk and stop resting? HAHAHA," I laughed out loud, as in all my experience in talking to others, laughing while they're mad makes them madder.
I don't know if it would work on a twelve feet long lizard, but there's no other choice.
I've finally reached the end of the wall, and it's finally time to run to the exit. I might have to do a double turn if this thing still doesn't rush down pillars, but it seems like I didn't need to do that.
As I continue running to the middle of the parking lot as those were the particular pillars I needed to break to make the entire thing collapse by chaining the load, It suddenly stopped chasing me. It then started to release some visible yet translucent gas which spread throughout the whole underground and even seeped through the holes in the floor above. This is a defense mechanism it uses to call for Inters lower class than to protect itself. It fakes a scent only effective on warrior class Inters and they will treat the Kroligator as their alpha or queen. With that being said, it's currently calling for backup.
Then as if that wasn't enough, its erratic face turned absolutely horrifying. Its eyes were elongated, turned absolutely round. The darkness of the room, plus the natural pitch-black color of its eyes made it seem like it didn't have anything in the first place. Its gaping mouth which was dripping acid everywhere suddenly closed shut with its horse-like teeth. It was gritting its teeth yet green acid, escapes from the small gaps between them.
Oh hell nah...
With a sudden burst of energy, I started to sprint towards the metal gate with all my might.
As I expected, the Kroligator grew mad causing it to rush down every pillar without flinching.
One, two, three. It rushed down all the pillars I was using which were all the middle pillars leading straight towards the metal gate.
As it do so, I could finally see the floor behind it slowly crumbling as it struggles to hold down all the weight from the kobolds with some of the pillars weakened and broken.
I could hear a commotion happening from upstairs, most likely trying to look for the Kroligator.
I didn't dare to look back again this time as I put all my internal focus into running.
Hah! Hah! Hah! Hah! Hime hi-
KRAHHHH!!
It screeches causing it to spit its acid in every possible direction there is.
As it do so, I immediately threw my entire body forward as I hid behind a pillar hiding me from all the acids that went in my direction.
I didn't waste any second after doing so though, as I immediately lifted myself and started sprinting towards the exit. It was so close.
Then when I thought it used all its arsenal, I suddenly saw a green slob of acid fly past my head landing a few meters ahead of me.
Wha-
With the sudden projectile of acid, I turned my head to see its source, only to find the Kroligator shoot another slob directly on my head.
" SHIT! "
I bent my head causing my whole body to fall on the ground but I still managed to dodge the glob. I stood up quickly and continued running, but this time around dodging a bunch of projectiles. It seems like it gave up trying to chase me this close to the gate, so it suddenly threw projectiles.
HAH! I gasped for air. I'm finally here.
" Then as a final goodbye, you can shoot at me one last time. I mean it's not like I have to tell you that with your mouth shaped like that. " I say as I face the Kroligator.
And as I wished for it, the acid flew in my direction which I easily dodge having landed on the metal door behind me, causing it to corrode and open immediately.
" Alright, seems like you haven't noticed it yet but your backup finally arrived. " I say as I point my fingers behind it causing it to look back.
Krr!!!
It was a bunch of kobolds falling from the floor above and debris following them soon after.
K...
It noticed them, so as a last resource. It tried to run towards my direction trying to escape and eliminate me in the process, but it's not like I would just let him do that.
A little bit of my mana is back after all.
