Chapter 22 - lightning of the torch

mich felt that he was strong enough to fight the hoard so he hid lumin in a safe place and covered a torch in the black liquid then set it ablaze but the torch Instead of behaving normal and giving off light it did the opposite and made a large area dark ever thought the mid day sun that was lighting the whole castle up suddenly silhouette of a creature rose from the darkness

it looked like a centipede with it's legs giving off a faint purple light it's eyes were orange and the teeth were yellow

"the fuck is that" said mich followed by using observe on it

[race:painbringing centipede

level:5

skills: poison lvl max , soul steal[consume the soul of a creature to speed up evolution]

description: a weak creature that is feared by even high powered individuals for it's potent poison

weakness:fire,holy magic,dark magic]

while mich was reading this the centipede had already began making a move it charged at him mich had to jump back in the last second he drew his weapon and got ready to fight since mich was faster than it mich got behind it and used Pierce behind the head to Pierce it's brain

*clack* the needle bounced back like hitting iron

the centipede threw mich off it's back and let out a purple mist out it's mouth mich tried to avoid it but he wasn't fast enough,he ran away as fast as possible to not get killed it wasn't that far but the centipede was slow

[debuff:painbringing poison

description:a Neurotoxin made to inflict pain, not lethal

time left:15:00min]

for a second mich felt nothing but then a second later an undescribable pain hot from head to toe like all his nerve endings were behind pulled on and burnt off even a breath of air felt like drinking molten lava

[you have experienced unimaginable pain, pain resistance has leveled up to level 2]

[you have experienced unimaginable pain, pain resistance has leveled up to level 3]

[you have experienced unimaginable pain, pain resistance has leveled up to level 4]

[you have experienced unimaginable pain, pain resistance has leveled up to medium pain resistance 1

[a new skill has been generated low poison resistance 1 ]

[your poison affinity has risen by 1]

all of this happened in 15 seconds but to mich it felt ten times more than that but now he had come to his senses he was in pain but a slightly manageable type and just in time because the centipede had caught up mich tried acid attacks his nail attack nothing worked when a thought popped up in his head light bulb as he doged a pincer attack by the centipede,mich played a tune and two mice appeared "distract him for a while" mich ordered his skeleton minions mich focused all his brain power on his acid ball skill how the magic circle worked after a few minutes up failed attempts a small spark appeared on top of mich's needle that grew in size of mich's head ( about 3cm) shot forward hitting his skeleton that cracked up and sintered allover the place but the fireball did not stop and made contact with the centipede after the contact it burst into flames it didn't kill it but just burned away all of it's exoskeleton so it was all much now with no protection mich dashed towards the centipede he got cut by it's pincer but it didn't matter mich pierced it straight through the eye and killing it when it died it evaporated and a giant message appeared

[WAVE 1/3 ✓]

[during battle you were the first of your race to unlock fire magic +5 agility +6intelligence +10 stamina]

[!NEW SKILL FIRE BULLET LVL 1 has been unlocked ]

suddenly a purple core dropped a slimy purple organ that was in a leather bag and a peculiar liquid with a very decorated bottle that had a emblem of a upside down crescent moon on it

it was interesting but mich didn't have time to be curious he bandaged himself up and waited for the debuff go away even thou his pain resistance went up it still was unbearable for more than a minute

he tried to sleep to speed up the healing but it was impossible even after the debuff wore off

mich was unprepared he went in recklessly and got punished for it so he started getting ready he put oh his helmet his armor and changed bandages when he was suddenly interrupted by a message

[your weapon has become the first magic weapon of your race all weapon stats +3 magic conductivity x2] exited by this mich felt his blade getting better and better every day after this he ate food drank water and tried to sharpen his needle on a rough rock

[!weapon buff

sharpness:+2 piercing

time left:2 days]

mich scrambled but on all his armor and went out he expected at least five six enemies so he was nervous but what he saw was much worse

[wave type:swarm

there were hundreds of them they were weak but they were too much each of them were 2 cm they looked like a dark dust cloud mich raised his needed and shot off some acid balls in the swarm the balls hit a couple dozens of swarmers killing them rest of the hard went mad and flew towards mich

[65/103hp]

[55/66 mana]

[34/42 stamina]

mich summoned a skeleton tp help him than he shot of a few fire bullets with made other swarmers catch on fire mich and the skeleton were fighting nonstop for three hours the bone of the skeleton scratched to oblivion almost dust and mich breathing heavily more than half of the swarm was gone but mich wasn't looking so good [35/103hp]

[12/66 mana]

[04/42 stamina]

[you have used vigor your stamina has been refilled]

[you have used toughening your defence has been doubled for a short time]

mich used his fire bullets to kill of a bunch of them a swarmer rammed it's needle like nose into mich Wich broke of due to his skill mich enraged by this gabbed a head of the swarmer and crushed it after his mana hit zero he used the acid mouse and Pierce skills and the hedgehog helm nonstop until the last one was left witch he delt by turning it into a pulp by his tail bone mace all

mich didn't have any energy to move his HP,mana and stamina were all in the single digits s so he passed out
