After trying to escape from the scorpion, it ran after me.
Even with my Meta strength to boost my physical ability, I still was not able to lose its tail.
Being too distracted by the furious scorpion that was behind me, I did not notice that there was an hole In my front until after I have stepped in it and started falling fast.
It is as you have guessed,
I am currently falling deep in a hole wide enough to fit four men at once, and I don't see an ending to it.
If I hit the ground at this pace, no doubt I will end up dying, or end up with a lot of broken bones.
The point is, I need to find a way to stop sinking so rapidly.
hmm.....
anything.....
Anything...
Great, an idea.
skill activation, Thorn Manipulation.
I stretch out my hands sideways wide open and produced thorns out of both palm.
The length of the thorns kept on growing until it was long enough to reach the walls.
With that, I was able to stop myself from falling even deeper.
now all I need to do is use the thorn to climb my way back up.....
"!!!"
what the helllllll....
This monster dude literally followed me into this hole.
Is it that intent on having my neck.
crap,
At the rate it is falling, I will get shoved down with it if I do not get out of the way fast.
I released my left hand from the wall and clung unto my right while pushing myself closer to the wall so I do not get pushed down by the scorpion monster when it reaches me.
eheh...
goodbye sucker.
Our time together was fun while it lasted.
I watch and made fun of the scorpion as it drifts down past me.
you caused me one hell of a trouble you know that,
I pray I never get to meet with your specie ever again.
"!!"
arghrghhhhh.....
It hurts like crazy....
what the hell just happened?....
I checked my leg where the pain I had felt came from.
that son of a bitch monster...
It stabbed its tail deep into my leg and is using it as an hanger to prevent it from falling.
kurghuku....
It hurts damn it.
It would have been better if it was something else, but a fucking tail?....
Seriously?...
No way am I going down with you.
If you want to die then do it alone.
I reach my left hand down to try and release the tail from my leg, but that bastard did not allow me further movement as it attaches his remaining body to the other side of the wall and started walking upwards.
gurgurghhh...
When its body had reached the wall, it removed its tail that had earlier been stuck in my leg and blood gushed out of it.
If I leave it be like this, it will get to me and knowing it's relentless personality, I will not be safe.
I released my right hand that I was using to hang on to the wall and jumped down landing onto the scorpion's body.
The first thing I attended to was the wound on my leg.
To stop it from further bleeding, I activated the dust Manipulation Skill and used the dust particles to close off the wound.
Now, to deal with you.
"sup buddy"
"you miss me".
It's face has frustration and anger written all over it.
"you must be very pissed off with me being on your body"
"I understand how it feels, I mean I would be too".
"Having someone making a lame joke while your life is flashing before your very eyes"
"like what the fuck dude?"
"but I need you to understand something, it is your fault we are in this shit in the first place".
"chasing after me after I decided to spare your life, and even going as far as to fall into the pit just so you can catch me"
"your desperation to have me brought you to this point so you have to take responsibility for it "
"if you had not being so clingy, maybe then you might have survived".
With its hands and leg tied to the wall to prevent it from falling, the scorpion resorts to using its tail to attack me.
It swung its tail at me and I dodged it by jumping off of its body and unto the wall at the side.
I slide down a little and jumped back to the side of the wall where the scorpion is hanging at.
Now situated below the scorpion,
I activated thorn Manipulation and shot it at its underbelly but the thorn was bounced off when it touched the scorpion.
Damn it.
This is why I did not want to face it in the first place.
With all the exoskeleton protecting its body, there is no hole or soft place for me to penetrate into.
After my failed attempt, it was able to grasp my location as it sends its tail down my way.
I jump back into the side wall but this time, the tail still follows me.
I produced a thorn from my palm and used it to freely climb around the walls.
The scorpion having adapted to being on the wall was also now able to walk on it with six of its legs and the pincers ready to attack.
Damn it.
You sure are troublesome even till the end.
A battle in a four male sized tunnel began between I and the scorpion.
The scorpion keeps on attacking me with its tail and sneaking in the pincers when it gets the opportunity, while I keep making even more distance between us.
That is what is crucial in this fight.
Regardless of where we are, I am still not fast enough to take it on in a close comba!!
wh...wh.....
What is going on?....
I feel dizzy all of a sudden.
Damn,
What is happening to me?
I have to get my thoughts together.
{Ding}
{you have been poisoned by a level 12 Cobid Scorpion}
{the poison has spread through your body}
{the poisons effect will now begin}
Damn it...
I totally neglected me being stung by its tail.
I did not think much of it because I only felt the pain and not a trace of poison going In me.
to think it would come back to bite me like this, damn it.
My Hp and Sp is dropping fast....
"you are smirking because your poison is working"
"you think I am going to go down like this?"
"no way in hell".
"if I am going down, I will make sure to take you with me".
I ran towards the scorpion, and it pierced me with its tail at the side of my stomach,
I did not pay any attention to the hole in my stomach as I focused only on getting to the scorpion.
It tried to make some distance between us by going backwards
"I won't let you"
Skill activation, Meta Strength.
I sprinted even faster than I did earlier.
Being in an enclosed space, the scorpion had little chances to show off its speed thanks to its huge body and because of that, I was able to catch up to it.
I grabbed the scorpion's head and put it in a choke hold,
It fought back by stabbing me with its tail in every part of my body,
I neglected the pain coursing through my body and put all my attention only on my objective.
"that hell, we are going in it together".
I solidified my foot to the wall with my hand still wrapped around the scorpion's neck,
I mustered up all the strength I had left in me and managed to flip its body over.
we were now falling with me being on top of the scorpion and it going down with its underbelly facing upwards.
It wanted to attack me with its tail, but I grabbed onto it before it could make any move and stabbed its head with it.
"like I said, that hell, we are going in it together".
I already resigned myself to dying of its poison but that does not mean I was going to let it go scot free.
my attacks might not have caused it enough damages, but I am sure even it will not survive falling through this hole that seems like an endless pit.
