Foggy subway - part 2

Suddenly, there were many shadows leaped out of the fog and the things lunged toward him. Not just one, but many. The sudden appearance shocked Matt, it was fast but he manage to react dodging the attack.

However, there were to many who attack him and was hit pushing him back. Just as he thought he would be knocked down by these things, there was a big force pushing his back down. The force was strong enough, making him unable to resist.

Splash!

Then, Matt felt cold liquid spilled over his back, it was so cold, the cold that made his body shivered spontaneously.

Pugh! Pugh!

After that, he saw there was a giant centipede whose body was impaled with a spike. The thing within the fog was a centipede, a gray centipede.

"Get up! Raise your dagger and protect yourself!" Karl's voice rang in his ears and then, he felt his shirt was pulled up with the force that pushed him down earlier. A gore scene appeared as he saw dozens of centipede while being impaled alive.

The surrounding scenery was like a centipede torture room. But of course, the centipede that scattered around him was different than a normal centipede.

The gray exoskeleton that made it looked different and its size was also longer than 5 meters. If the centipede stood right before, the centipede's height would tower above him. It had red eyes and its mandibles were scary.

"The centipede is very hard and is fast and agile. Be Careful!" Karl kindly reminded Matt.

Matt took a deep breath and fight against the gray centipede. But then, he noticed the gray centipede stopped coming out of the fog. After the first wave was decapitated by Boss, the gray centipede seemed to be growing more cautious.

Screech!

Screech!

Screech!

Then, the centipede let out a screeching noise from the fog. Matt also could see the bright red eyes within the fog. Matt used his skill [Basic Detection].

[Fogged centipede: level 6]

"Just focus the centipede in front of you, I will take care of the rest!" Then, he heard an instruction from Karl. Matt heavily nodded his head in response.

"Get ready, the second wave is coming!"

Matt heard the reminder and focused his eyes on the things in front of him. He trusted Boss and only focused on the centipede that appeared in front of him.

Sure enough, not long after the reminded, Fogged centipede lunged toward him, three at once. The Fogged centipede had its mandibles opened, showing its fearful jagged teeth. The centipede intended to tear him with their teeth.

But, Matt responded faster than the centipede, he placed his right foot a step forward and slashed the dirk horizontally. The dirk cut the centipedes mandibles which tried to reach him.

At this time, he moved his left foot forward. Using the dirk in his right hand, he cut the three centipede that fell on the ground.

Slash!

He sent three slashes and killed three centipedes. After that he retreated again, making sure he stayed close to Boss.

[You have leveled up!]

[You gained 2 attribute points!]

Karl cast [earth spike] to the fearless Fogged centipede. It charged toward Karl in a group and then several spikes appeared in the ground, at least ten to thirteen. Then, he encountered a problem, these centipede were fearless.

Despite their kinds being killed in such fashion, they did not pause their steps or scurried away in fear. They kept charging at him relentlessly amidst the slaughter.

The problem was his magic power. He could cast it consecutively, but it was not a solution. If he fought that way, it would drain his mana faster, and if he was late even for a few seconds, the jagged teeth might tear his flesh.

He was no fool to try whether the centipede's jagged teeth could tear his body with over a 100 magic power attributes or not. If the Fogged centipede was low in number, Karl was confident in using his skil.

However, he had no way to know the number of Fogged centipede because of the fog. His vision was limited and he could not even make an estimation number of the Fogged centipede.

'[earth spike] is not a suitable weapon against the centipede…' Karl thought and pulled out his metal bat, glad that he brought it with him.

Karl fought the fogged centipede without much thought. He aimed the metal bat to the centipede that appeared in sight. His aim was the centipede's head, but if he could not reach the head, he would just hit whatever he could hit and let [earth spike] fill in his opening with his awkward movement.

Under the fogged centipede incessant attack, Karl also brutally retaliated. The dead bodies of the fogged centipede around him mostly were with holes. There were still a few centipede still alive, but their bodies were impaled.

There was a centipede that was impaled but was still squirming . There was a centipede that had its head crushed, but it was still alive. There was a centipede whose body parts was missing due to Karl's [earth spike].

However, Karl and Matt were oblivious to the gruesome scene around them. Their focus was on the centipede. They could not lower their guards or it was the centipede's who would tear their bodies with their hideous teeth and sharp mandibles.
