As I moved slightly towards the edge of the hole. Cautiously guarding myself against any sudden movement. I looked back to find the Pair of Centipede Pseudo Monster. "Luckily, they were nowhere to see" I commented in my heart.
As I prepared to look through the hole. The hole is quite large. I gasped seeing that. Looking from distance it appeared to be a small hole. But, now it can easily fit the size of a human.
Suddenly,
A Spider had a size of 5ft in length and 2m in height. Open its numerous eyes, its senses were heightened that something trespasses its area. It delighted that it doesn't have to look for food.
It only had to spin its web and make its prey immobile and slightly inject its deadly venom into the prey. So, that it can easily consume later. It started to move.
I decided to enter the hole, but my perception activated instantly to intimate danger. I can perceive something huge coming towards me from the hole. After knowing that I moved back and maintained a certain distance for battle.
The Spider got startled, seeing the prey moving backward. It quickened its movement and exited the hole.
I never thought this Spider would be this ugly. From its name, I expected something different. Not a mucous-filled monster. The spider was entirely in grey. Unlike, the black spider from the blood kill test. It doesn't have any spike in its legs.
But there are mucous secreting glands in its abdomen. As I remember it correctly from the library.
I didn't want to use any powerful movements for now. There is a possibility, it might escape seeing that. I have to finish it with my sword quickly. So, my strategy is that I'm going to evade its attack and look for an opportunity to kill it.
The spider after exiting the entrance. It turned towards Zack. It didn't feel any threatening aura from him.
It leaped towards him and at the same time, it Spit Silk Thread attack to pin him on the ground. The silk thread it's a good binding attack. It's difficult to escape once you get stick into it. The Silk thread was quite thick and its projectile was fast. It will be hard for Zack to escape by slicing through the silk thread.
I saw the spider leaping toward me. I readied my black sword in hand to slice its body in half. But before that, it spewed silk thread to attack me. It was so fast and the distance was not enough to dodge it.
I never expected its attack would be this fast. One of the hurdles for me is that the different landscape in this cave makes it harder for me to move around.
I commented in my heart, "No wonder, Training facility gave assignments weekly. It is one thing to battle in an enclosed dome platform. But here it is the actual training in a real environment; though it's a Pseudo Monster.
The Environment here makes it harder to battle. I had to climb around some of the pointy rocks. Had to crouch a little here and there to avoid getting injuries from it."
I tried to move away from my spot. I easily evaded initial thread attacks. But the last one binds my left hand. Once I moved away from the spot. I tried to remove the silk thread. But it needs time to focus on it.
Which I can't afford it now. The spider witness its attack and was easily evaded. It landed on the exact spot. Where Zack stood on before. It saw its silk attack landed on Zack's left hand completely binding it.
Zack's palm was entirely covered with silk thread. He can only use his right hand to hold a black sword.
Meanwhile, Red Scaled Centipede Pseudo Monster was hiding somewhere in a distant rock. This time there is only one monster, not pair. It is waiting for its enemy to come outside. Zack wouldn't have expected that.
This Centipede Pseudo Monster had a feud with White Stripped Forests Spider. Last time the spider felt threatened by its attack and went inside its hole for hiding.
But, now Centipede Pseudo Monster senses that its enemy had come out. It moved slowly to attack its enemy.
Meanwhile, Zack.
I hold my black sword and swung it smoothly to attack its legs. Seeing that the spider rotates its body to safeguard itself from the attack. But it failed, My Black sword tip easily slice one of its hind legs. The sword went smooth like butter. It easily split its legs into two.
The Spider seeing it failed to defend and lose one of its legs. It felt threatened.
It wants to hide inside its hole. Seeing that Zack moves towards the entrance of the hole.
Thereby, blocking it. Having no choice The White spider turned around escape towards the cave's exit. It wants to escape through the forests and find some other hideout. Seeing that Zack was startled.
I didn't expect it to escape soon. I didn't want to waste any time in chasing. Seeing that it's very familiar in these surroundings, it escaping quickly by leaping from one rock to another. I decided to use my full strength. I have to kill it immediately. Because I only got a half-day time limit to leave the forests.
I became worried seeing the distance between the spider and me is getting further and further away. But, suddenly the spider hastily stopped its movements. It's got attacked by something. Due to that it flown away like a ragged ball and landed on the nearby rock.
I stopped my movements seeing that. The Spider was landed in an upside-down posture. It cannot turn its back to its normal position.
It's trying very hard to move. But it's every move getting futile. Seeing this good opportunity. I quickly move towards it and used my Black Sword to pierce its head. Blood flew like gushing water from its head.
Its body movements stopped in an instant. I quickly used my storage ring to store its body. It happened in all fast. That I forget an important guest. Who played a vital role in attacking this Monster.
The Rad Scale Centipede Monster didn't leave this place immediately. It noticed Zack when he quickly went near to the spider.
"I have completed my Assignment" I commented in my heart. A smile blossomed on my face. When I saw the Red Centipede that helped me to kill it. I didn't have to hold any reservations now. I am going to hunt down all the Monsters along the way for blood cultivation.
I used my lightning energy then a violet sparks appeared on my left hand. The silk thread that covered my left hand was got burnt and fallen.
I freely rotated my left hand as I move towards the Red scaled Centipede. Like I expected unlike the White Stripped Spider, All other Pseudo Monsters had low I.Q. Even after I exposed my lightning energy it didn't escape. It chose to attack me.
The Centipede leaped on Zack. It got furious when Zack killed that Spider. It felt like he stole its prey. As I summoned my "RECKONING CIRCLE". A Violet circle appeared accompanied by small thunderous sounds. The Lightning Circle looks dazzling having me as its center.
The huge body of Centipede came in contact with lighting energy. Zack got an impeccable defence as well as a deadly attack. The Reckoning Circle acts as Combo Move.
Not only had the body of the Centipede come in contact with the lightning but also its mouth. The lightning power went inside its inner organs. Due to that all of its organs got roasted both inside out completely.
I sighed seeing all of its blood got evaporated. "Such a Waste of opportunity" I commented in my heart. Unlike, the Black tiger. The Centipede got its life taken away. When it decided to use its fangs to bite my Lightning circle.
I left the body in this cave and decided to exit. "It's time to go home" I mumble as I walked towards the exit.
After exiting the cave. I climbed up the cliff and decided to follow the Marking I left behind on the trees. Fortunately, I didn't come across another Pack of Pseudo Monsters.
Soon, I saw the huge tree where I cultivated blood element from Black Tiger. I took a glance and continued my journey.
Sometimes later,
My eyes turned serious as I saw Alpha Wolf. This time there are no other members of its pack behind it. It was the same place where I spent yesterday night. "Looks like its members went for the hunt" I commented in my heart.
But I had suspiciousness in my heart. Why didn't it went alongside them? Usually, Alpha will lead the pack. But here it's spending time alone. As I decided to hide and observe it closely,
Since it's alone I don't have any fear of it attacking me. I turned my perception on to see what is going on actually.
"No, wonder. It got injured that's why it didn't go for the hunt; should I use this opportunity to kill it? Alpha blood might be stronger than other wolves. It will certainly bring benefits to my physic." I commented in my heart.
But still, there is a bit of hesitation.. It's already getting late to leave this place.
