At the staircase of the first floor of the Fairy dungeon.
"Let's do it!" He said as he flew straight through the stone staircase.
A huge rock spike surged towards him, but he skillfully dodge it and flew to the entrance, where the sunlight outside was could be seen.
Finally, he reached the exit.
The blinding noon sunlight greeted him as he came out from the cave, along with the sound of the birds nearby.
He immediately flew upward to avoid the incoming Gaia centipede queen.
"I'm out!"
From his distance, the view beneath him was clear. The cave system was located underground with a small entrance with an Iron human-made gate separating the cave system and the grassland surrounding it, beyond the grassland was the huge forest that could be seen in every direction he looked, the forest was so huge as if it has no end. The bright reflection of the lake from the distance was vividly visible from his location.
"This place... It's beautiful."
A loud explosion stopped him from contemplating and along with it was the raging roar of the Gaia centipede queen gazing at him from beneath, the unnerving roar was more than enough to horrify the animals nearby, all the birds flew at once along with the sound of fleeing land-dwelling animals like deers and forest wolves.
The sunlight was reflecting at the jet-black thick armored skin of the Gaia centipede queen. The evidence of its almost impeccable defense was completely visible in broad daylight.
"Here she is."
The Gaia centipede queen did not waste a single moment, a huge chunk of rock was hurled towards him, but due to his far distance, he easily avoid the attack by flying out of its way. The Gaia centipede queen launched some acidic webs but was easily destroyed by setting them on fire.
"For the ones who can fly, the sky is our territory."
The Gaia centipede queen hurled some massive rocks towards him, but none of them managed to hit.
"Now, how could I defeat her?"
"There's a great chance that if she received enough damage she will just withdraw back to the cave, I don't want that to happen. I need a place where I can contain her."
While dodging the incoming attacks he searched around the area. His eyes darted to the glowing lake from the distance.
"That will do... I think."
He activated his Fire God Hephaestus and blasted a fireball towards the Gaia centipede queen and just as expected, the armored queen just shrugged it off.
"I'm gonna need you to chase after me, Queeny."
He flew to the nearest lake from a distance few kilometers away and without a delay, the Gaia centipede queen followed him while continuously throwing huge rocks and acidic webs to catch him.
He flew past the forest.
Everything that caught on their chase was crushed by the Gaia centipede queen. Trees, piles of rocks, and sometimes the animals inhabiting the forest. All of them were crushed by the pincers and fangs of the queen of the cave system.
The Gaia centipede queen burrowed underground for better mobility in exchange for its target vision.
The Gaia centipede queen finally reached the lake, but its target were could not be found. It came out of the hole and look around the area.
The Gaia centipede queen slowly walked towards the lake.
A huge cloud emerged from above with the surging sound coming from the white thunder currently brewing inside it. Base on the appearance, the thunder strike would only affect the lake, and it was nothing to be concerned about for the Gaia centipede queen.
The Gaia centipede just stared at it and walked away from the lake.
"Good view isn't it?" He said as he showed himself right at the back of the Gaia centipede queen after hiding for a while.
Before the Gaia centipede queen could even react, the gigantic water blast pushed it towards the lake. However, the strength of the water blast was not enough to make the tough Gaia centipede queen fall to the water.
The Gaia centipede queen created a rock barrier between it and the lake to prevent it from falling and attempted to dig through the ground to escape.
However, gigantic hand-shaped water came out from the lake and instantly grabbed the Gaia centipede queen and it contained inside a huge water ball. The Gaia centipede queen was so massive that he needed to use a huge portion of the lake to at least restrict it for a few seconds.
"Now, all I need to do is to throw her to the lake before she could manage to break out from it."
He flew as the Gaia centipede queen attack him with hurling boulders.
Even with its remarkable strength, the water ball could not contain the far superior Gaia centipede queen any longer than a few seconds. The water ball slowly crumbled as the Gaia centipede queen struggled inside.
After evading the hurling rocks, he immediately flew towards the water ball, and by reinforcing it with Wind God Aeolus and Gravity Manipulation, the water ball containing the hundred legs behemoth flew towards the very core of the lake.
"Now!"
As the Gaia centipede queen fell to the lake, the bombardment of thunder strikes from above started and struck the Gaia centipede queen at the center.
But, it was far from enough to kill it, its tough skin was built to endure a massive amount of beating.
Out of its animalistic instinct, the Gaia centipede queen swam towards the bay while enduring the continuous thunder strike from above, but a whirlpool started to pull it back to the center. Rendering the Gaia centipede queen incapable of escaping.
The bombardment of thunder strikes never stopped, rather, the number of thunder strikes continuously increased as time went on. The Gaia centipede sure possessed a remarkable instinct, but the pressure of fighting outside of its comfort territory while receiving a relentless barrage of thunder strikes made the Gaia centipede queen just do the same ineffective method all over again.
