With that, we continue to explore the second floor of this dungeon.
We walk a few steps from our resting area until I was disturbed by an ominous ‘chit chit’, I turn towards the noise and face its creator, a giant centipede the size of me,
Giant earth centipede (AKA whole lotta NOPE), level 39 threat 41%, a giant centipede capable of eating you whole, can use earth magic
w-w-what do I do? ‘’Side!’’ I hate bugs, especially big ones, vines burst out from the ground and entangle the foe, the centipede seems like its encased in a layer of glossy stone, the stone armour morphs into blades and cut away all the vines, freeing it from captivity, I agree with identity for once, this thing should be called a whole lotta NOPE,
I high tail it out of there, picking up side along the way, what can I do that thing? If I get close the carapace will morph into frickin swords! And my only ranged damage is throwing rocks, my normal mana bullet isn’t strong enough to deal any damage and hydro cannon is too dangerous to use in a cave,
we continue running and I get an idea, I pick up a sharp looking rock and throw it, applying a few sucks along the way to speed it up, the rock hits the centipede with a loud POCK, cracking the shell and causing a spiderweb design along the side of its head, the shell shifts and morphs to fix the cracks leaving behind glossy finish and a disappointed cat,
I keep throwing things behind me as I continue to run along this cave how many rocks are there! oh right, cave, I now start throwing things upwards instead causing the stalactites to drop on my pursuer, I manage to crack one of the larger stalactites and make it drop directly on the centipede, skewering it to the floor, perfect! I totally planned that! I now have a living punching bag to grind my mana bullets on, the centipede wriggles its legs and squirms around sending shivers down my spine, god that's creepy,
I suck mana from the air into little balls, growing them and compressing them, once they reach the right size I suck the centre of the ball, elongating it, turning it into a sort of mana cone, this would increase the damage, right? cones have more penetrating power than circles, I launch the mana cone at the rock centipede and chip its armour a little bit and make a small dent, I create even more mana cones, suck into a ball, suck middle out, suck forward, repeat, aiming at the same place I first hit,
obviously I miss a large chunk of my thrown cones since the centipede is very much alive and squirming vigorously, but the ones I do hit form a crack in the centipedes armour, drilling deeper and deeper as the poor sod attempts to shift its armour around to close the crack but I keep pummeling it with a constant barrage of mana cones, mmm mana cones sound like a delicious ice cream wait, focus! Side hasn’t been doing nothing this entire time as she has been trying to keep it still using vines and attacking it with earth bullets,
I manage to pierce through the stone carapace finally and get to the real meat and juice of this fight, purple blood sprays from its newfound opening and the centipede writhes around with newfound vigor, clawing at the floor and shredding vines but still skewered by a massive rock, I keep spamming my mana cones, I feel like I'm getting the hang of this

As I continue, the cones get pointier and more compact dealing more damage to the soft insides of this big bad bug, I keep on my onslaught to this now defenceless predator along with side taking the occasional pot shot with some well-timed earth bullets and wind cutters, after a few more rounds the centipede finally stopped moving, geez how much hp did this thing have? Now about half of the cave is blocked with centipede corpse and massive rock

With that out of the way we continue on with the cave, with a fork in the road, we decide to venture left, as that works most of the time with mazes, down this path we encounter a goblin village with about 20 individuals
Small green man scout, level 21threat 15%, a speedy goblin that uses daggers Small green man mage, level 27 threat 19%, a goblin that can use magic Small green man chief, level 34 threat 26%, a goblin that commands the other goblins Small green man warrior, level 29 threat 23%, a goblin that uses a rusty sword Small green man drug dealer, level 32 threat 37%, a goblin that specialises in status effects and potions
The goblins are decently leveled, the mage one with some tattered robes raises a stick and shoots an earth bullet at us, I dodge to the side and slice an incoming goblin scout, converting the goblin into ribbons, I dodge the sword swipe as side cuts the attacking goblin in the neck making it clutch its neck in horror as it slowly bleeds to death, I run towards a mage, sliding on the ground to dodge a fireball and springing up with an upwards claw swipe ''SHORYUKEN!'', I land on the ground with an exaggerated *thud* and begin sprinting at the goblin leader yelling orders,
Stolen novel; please report.
I jump and spin kick the goblin in the face, the feeling of its long pointy nose getting crushed transmitted on my foot through my makeshift leather shoes, the goblin chief flies away slamming its head against the back wall and knocking it out, side has taken care of 3 more goblins and I ditch a rock at a mage, cracking its head open with an insta-kill, a goblin wearing some tattered cloak threw a weird bottle at my feet, the bottle shatters and a terrible smell engulfs the surroundings,
the smell is so bad i threw up on the spot, hitting a nearby goblin in the process, the bottle actually released a thick brown gas that has the effect of bad smells, smokescreen and eye irritant, my eyes are blurry from the tears pouring out, its like someone squeezed a lemon right into your eye and rubbed it with salt while shoving a fat stool up your nose, i swipe away in a frenzy and manage to cut up some nearby goblins, side uses wind magic to dissipate the smoke and kill some unfortunate goblins that also got caught up in that smoke, i locate the goblin potion blastard and shove my hand into its chest and ripping out its heart, i never want to experience that potion ever again. we clean up the rest of the goblins with a little effort and also sweep the area clean, I sit down to review the things I got from that village once all the battling was over
a bunch of goblin ears some rusty swords endurance up endurance up strength up speed up agility up
like that, we go back to the fork in the road and take the other direction
