An Extra’s POV

All the assaulters were ready to begin their counterattack.

With the window that Justin opened for them, and the other minor traps and debuffs like Eric's [Blindness], they were set to go.

Then—

"KRIIIIIIIIIKKKKK!!!"

—The most unexpected occurred.

~SWIIIISHHH!~

One of the centipedes wiggled its way through the strings and rushed towards Justin in a bid to devour him.

Perhaps even crush him.

"Justin, no!" Swiftly leaving his own position in the formation, Clark rushed towards his friend.

Shockwaves radiated as a result of his impulsive action, causing others to shift ever so slightly from their formation.

Justin, who was too distracted in his celebration, did not notice anything off until Clark called out his name.

Once he opened his eyes wide, he noticed the centipede which lunged at him with dangerous precision.

It's disgustingly black body was about to crash on him when Clark charged towards it and knocked it away.

~BOOOOOM!~

The knockback effect caused the centipede to wriggle and try to gain its footing.

Clark rushed towards it before it could recover and sent it a flurry of punches while burning it with his Heat Vision.

"JUST! STAY! DOWN!" He screamed, finally dispatching the Centipede with a powerful strike involving a clasped fist descending on the wounded Centipede's head.

Yes, he was able to defeat that single Centipede.

However, thanks to his disturbance, the restrained Centipedes not only woke from their slumbering states, but they grew erratic and wriggled out of their restraints as well.

With Justin too startled to tighten the hood of his strings, they successfully escaped their constraints and charged at Clark all at once.
