Chrysalis
Chapter 22
The centipede is crushed into the stone floor of the cavern. Deep cracks appear on its carapace after the kinetic force rips through its body, shattering the hard outer skeleton.
I’m stunned.
That was one fearsome strike! If I was hit by that I’d be squashed into a pancake, no doubt about it.
Scary!
The centipede doesn’t seem to have fared much better, it twitches on the ground, barely moving. The hound steps forward slowly, a murderous glint its eye. Almost as if its thinking ’take that you bug, how dare you threaten my greatness!’.
Before it can deal the finishing blow however something unexpected happens.
Sizzling acid streaks through the air and sprays down the hounds’ left flank, immediately burning into its flesh.
Oops.
Heheheheheh.
Sorry to interrupt your proud moment there hound, but I don’t want this battle to end just yet.
Of course, one blast of acid isn’t enough to finish off a hound, but the same is also true for the centipedes.
The Claw Centipede I hit earlier has now recovered enough to once more join the fray. It advances cautiously to reinforce its three unharmed brethren against the two healthy hounds.
This is the critical moment. With one centipede essentially down for the count but still living and one wounded hound the battle has become very even.
The centipedes seem a little unwilling to proceed with the fight now. They continue to posture aggressively but don’t actively make any moves to attack against their larger opponents.
The hound I injured is mildly wounded by my acid but not badly enough to keep it out of the fight, disregarding the source of the acid it returns to the aid of its allies in fending off the swarming assailants.
At that moment.
Splash!
