He prepared his self for the incoming battle. However, before he could even cast a single skill, all the bats flew away while generating a high-pitched sound that sounds like they were in great terror.
"What? Why?"
He released the skill that he was holding in, wind magic materialized and without even traveling a short distance the huge ball of wind exploded and revealed what was in front of him. The wind magic burst and pushed him in a distance, but the pure shock made him stacked on his position.
Due to the damage that the wind magic that cast earlier made, the concealment was removed and the gigantic exoskeleton has been revealed right at the entrance of the hole. Its face was so massive that only a fraction of it was visible from the view inside the hole.
[Gaia Centipede Level 4.]
"What's that thing doing here!"
The Gaia centipede used one of its legs to faultlessly dragged him out from the hole and threw him to the ground.
"This is bad! This is bad!" He said while recovering after getting smashed into the ground.
He released a barrage of Nature's blessing, but against the extraordinarily hard exoskeleton of the Gaia Centipede, the gigantic 3 meters long monster took the attacks as if the attacks were nothing.
The Gaia centipede struck him using its sharp colossal pincers, wind magic materialized and pushed him away from it.
"I need to get out of here!"
He tried to fly higher to escape from the Gaia centipede, but the next thing he knew he already got caught inside an acidic white web that came from the Gaia centipede and rendered him pinned to the ground.
His body began to release some smoke particles as a reaction to the acid from the white web that covering him. "Dammit!"
He used Nature's blessing to destroy the web, but the Gaia centipede was already next to him. He launched multiple attacks, but the Gaia centipede did not even flinch.
The Gaia centipede slammed its pincers in him and without a chance to evade he had no choice but to endure the attack.
All he could do was scream out due to extreme pain.
"It hurts!"
However, the Gaia centipede was still far from done.
The Gaia centipede used its pincer to smashed him into the cave stone wall.
His body crashed to the wall 2 times before the Gaia centipede threw him.
His body did a breaking sound at landing.
White particles were already coming out of his body due to his injuries.
His sight started to blurred again.
From a distance, He could see the silhouette of the Gaia centipede on its way to his location.
"Dammit!"
[Your body has reached its limit.]
[Activating species skill.]
[Hibernation.]
"No! Cancel it!"
[Activation of species skill [Hibernation] was canceled.]
"As long as I don't get poisoned by it I can survive. If the poison is not coming from its pincers, it means the poison is on its fangs."
He cast multiple skills to delay the Gaia centipede, but all of his attacks could not do anything to hurt the Gaia centipede.
"And here I thought my skills were powerful enough to win against anything. And then you came out of nowhere."
The centipede charged towards him.
He aimed his Nature's blessing on the ground.
"I'm counting on you, wind magic!"
Fire magic materialized and his body instantly caught in the fire.
"Wind magic go!"
The Gaia centipede finally reached him and extended its head to crunch him using its mouth.
As his last resort, he aimed his Nature's blessing on the Gaia centipede's mouth.
"I will never die here!"
Wind magic materialized and pushed him out away from the Gaia centipede.
The moment he landed, he immediately cast Nature's blessing to the ground.
"Push me away!"
Thunder magic materialized.
"Dammit!"
The Gaia centipede easily reached him again, the Gaia centipede grabbed him using its pincers and smashed him again into the wall.
Out of extreme pain, he screamed the loudest scream that he could, even in the midst of agony he managed to cast another barrage of Nature's blessing aiming at the pincer that holding him.
Fire magic caught him and the Gaia centipede's pincers on fire. The light of his body started to flicker indicating that it was already over its limit.
"I don't... want... to... die."
[Skill [Magic Resistance Level 1] was acquired.]
[Skill [Physical Attack Resistance Level 1] was acquired.]
"Hey...for once. Do as I say."
The Gaia centipede opened its mouth while raising him to the air.
"This... is my last card."
The Gaia centipede released him from its Pincers while its mouth was waiting for him to fall down.
"Wind..."
Magic materialized and instantly pushed him away from his demise.
His body landed with an unsettling breaking sound.
His gaze wandered to the wall hoping for a hole he could get into. He managed to find one, a huge hole one, but the real challenge was if he could make it there.
The Gaia centipede released an acidic web from its mouth and the web launched towards him.
With his weakest voice. "Wi...wind."
Once more he flew inwards the hole.
For a whole second, he remained motionless while his light was flickering.
"What now?"
He forced his body to move, fortunately, even with his injuries his body floated, but in a very slow motion.
But the crisis was still on. Using one of its legs, The Gaia centipede tried to drag him out, but he maneuvered his body so he could not get caught by it the second time. The Gaia centipede's legs did not manage to grab him, but the Gaia centipede did accomplish to successfully push him to the wall of the hole.
His body collided with the wall and received three consecutive powerful strikes from the leg of Gaia centipede.
The Gaia centipede was trying to crush him as its last shot to prevent him from escaping.
The pain made him want to scream, but he was already out of strength to do so.
For the last time, he activated Nature's blessing.
Wind magic materialized.
He flew outward the wall where the leg was, he also saw the pear-like fraction of his body, at that moment he realized that half of his body was gone.
He flew towards the small gap at the deeper part of the hole he was in.
The hole was just large enough for him to fit.
His body flickered rapidly and soon went off, and his body dropped to the hole.
While falling, his consciousness slowly fading, but he could still clearly heard the raging roar of the Gaia centipede from above.
"Heh."
He felt the sensation of his body hitting on something before finally losing consciousness.
