Chapter 21 - The Tower's Venomous Challenge: Confronting the Desert Centipedes

Next day.

In the academy,

Allen was sitting in the class.

"When will the tournament start?" He was thinking.

Miss Hannah came to the class.

"Good morning, Ma'am."

"Good morning."

Then she says,

"Listen students. Starting next week, the Academy Tournament will start."

"It's starting."

"It will be fun to watch."

"Silent. In the break, go to the auditorium." She said.

In the break,

Everyone went to the auditorium.

After all, students came from the 1st year and 2nd year.

Principal Toshiro came.

Everyone stood up.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning everyone ."

Then the principal says,"I guess you students know about the tournament. From next week the Academy Tournament will start for 1st and 2nd year students. Only 10 students can take part in AvsA from here."

"What? Only 10?"

"Then I won't be in the 10 students."

"That's all. Other things will tell Sir Alex." Principal said.

Then the principal went away from there.

Sir Alex came in front,

"Listen students. You guys have the time today and tomorrow. If you want to join then come to me for registration." He said.

Allen stood up,

"I will be the first one." Allen said.

"What?"

Everyone was shocked, they were watching him.

Allen went to the stage.

"I was expecting you to come first." Sir Alex said.

Allen took the paper and signed on it.

After he left, he went to his class.

"The war starts." Allen thinks.

Every student who wants to take part they registered.

Hina comes to class, Allen sees her.

"Did you register?" He asked.

"Yes."

"Then from now on, let's work hard for the tournament."

"Of course."

After the classes over,

Allen was going home with his car.

"I need a weapon. I can't use the dagger in front of others. They may realize that I'm L." He was thinking.

"Should I use the Knight's sword? They didn't see me using it. I will use the sword."

Allen went to the city.

He came to a restaurant.

He parked his car.

Everyone was looking at him.

"Look at that car."

"It's so cool."

"Still I have 10 more purple diamonds. I should sell it sometime."

Allen entered the restaurant.

After finishing his food, he got out.

"Now I'm full. Let's go to the tower."

Allen went to the tower.

He parked his car far away from the tower.

"Change"

His outfit changed into a normal outfit.

Woosh!

Allen got out of the car.

He came in front of the tower.

He was entering,

Suddenly,

"Hey,L"

Allen looked behind.

He saw the members of Red Hood, black dragon and other guilds members.

"Shit! Why did they come here today?" Allen thinks.

He saw Naomi and Hina also came.

"Should I go from here?" He thinks.

Jiro came to him.

"Love to see you here." Jiro said.

"Me too."

"Now I have to go with them." He thinks.

"Why did you guys come here today?" Allen asked.

Allen wasn't happy to see them.

"Some hunters said they saw some B rank monsters on the 42th floor." Jiro said.

"Some? Is there more than 1?" Allen asked.

"They said they saw 3 there. But we guess, there can be more." Ito said.

"What kind of monsters?"

" Desert Centipedes."

Alice said from behind.

"Desert again." Allen said.

"Yes."

"Why? Have you fought monsters in the desert before?" Naomi asked.

"Yeah, a sand Golem. Killing it was the big problem." Allen said.

Allen didn't talk to them that much. He started going to the tower.

He looked behind and said,

"Don't come in my way."

Allen entered the tower.

"Someday, I will kill him because of this behavior. After I knew his identity." Alice said.

"Don't do that." Hina said.

"That's my problem." Alice said on her face.

They entered the tower.

[ Player entered 42th floor ]

They saw L was standing there.

"Why are you standing here?" Naomi asked.

"I didn't see anything, without this sand and this 6 pillars." Allen said.

"It's too hot here." Unknown hunter said.

"Isn't here too silent?" Allen thinks.

"Dragon eye"

Allen tried to find the monster with his ability.

"Can I find anything with it?"

He started looking, but he couldn't see anything.

"Nothing can be seen with this ability." He thinks.

Suddenly,

The ground started shaking.

"Why did the ground start shaking?"

Allen realize something and he shouted,

"Move"

Everyone moves in a rush, but a hunter can't move in time.

Scritch!

Zap!

Bite!

A Centipede came out from down, tried to kill that hunter, but Allen saved him.

"Stay focus"

Then other Centipedes came out.

[ Desert Centipedes arrived ]

Allen looked at them.

"3rd eye"

Allen saw and shouted," They can throw poison."

Hiss-spew!

The creature spat its toxic poison.

Everyone moved, some hunters stuck by the venom.

They died on the spot.

"Everyone be careful." Jiro shouted.

Suddenly,

Scritch!

The big Centipede came out from the ground.

There were 5 Centipedes.

They went into the sand and started giving surprise attacks.

"Big one is mine." Allen said.

"What?" Alice said.

Scritch!

The big one came out,

Zap!

Allen went to it.

Spew!

It throws poison.

Woosh!

Allen teleports to its back.

Whip!

Miss!

He attacked, but it went into the ground.

"Shit! It went in."

Allen was flying up.

Scritch!

It came out from down.

Allen sees it,

"Dark fire"

Swish!

Allen burned it. Other Centipedes came to help the big one.

They attacked Allen together.

Woosh!

Allen teleports away from those.

Hunters saw they were staying together.

Allen came to other hunters.

"If they stay together. That will be difficult." Allen thinks.

Allen said to them,

"Just try to separate them. For a couple of minutes."

"What? What will you do?" Alice said.

"We can try that." Ito said.

Allen came to Jiro.

"Need your help." Allen said.

"How can I help you?"

"Use your shadow hands to hold the Centipedes." Allen said.

"Can try that."

"Let's go," Allen shouts.

Allen hunters tried to separate them. Those started following other hunters.

"Plan is working."

Allen looked at Jiro and said," Now"

"Shadow hands"

Grab!

Jiro grabbed one.

Woosh!

Allen teleports close to it.

Whip!

Thump!

Allen cut it in half.

Alice, Naomi and other hunters killed 3 other Centipedes.

"The last one." Alice said.

"It's mine." Allen said.

Zoom!

Allen went to it.

Spew!

It throws poison.

"Dark fire"

Allen blocked it with fire.

Boom!

After poison and fire touch together.

Blasts happened there.

Woosh!

Allen went behind it.

Shunk!

Allen stabbed on its back.

It started moving,

But Allen started pulling down the dagger.

Scrrrrrrr!

Allen cut that Centipede in half.

Thump!

It fell down.

[ Player level up ]

[ Player current level 38 ]

"You did it." Naomi said.

"Then, it's over." Ito said.

Other hunters started going.

"No, it isn't." Allen said.

"What! How can you say that?" Alice said.

"First we didn't see the tower showing 'Floor Complete'." Allen said.

"You're right." Jiro said.

"And this floor has six pillars here. Maybe there are 6 Centipedes. I think that." Allen said.

"But this can be wron…"

Ito couldn't finish,

Scritch!!!

A big Centipede came out.

It was so big compared to others.

[ Floor boss arrived ]

"I was right. It's the boss." Allen said.

It was looking at them.

Hiss-spew!

The Centipede spat its toxic poison.

Author Thought : Before the tournament starts, there will be some more chapter about tower. Maybe 2 or 3 floors more. Then Academy Tournament story will start.

So support it and stay with it....
