Chapter 156: Chapter 156 - Centipede
He then slowly fell on the ground as he couldn't believe how this was even possible at all.
There was a centipede in front of him.
And it was BIG.
From what he could gather it's width was around 11 - 15 meters and it's height was maybe 1.2 meters.
It had a dangerous looking face with its mouth and eyes closed before him like it had been sleeping like this for many years.
William slowly got up and thought of whether he should go and check it out or just let it be that way and forget about ever coming down here.
'I could just leave and forget about this. It's not like it is even alive at this point… Is it?'
'No no, it couldn't be. The place itself looks like it was built thousands of years ago.
And for this beast to stay over here for that long period of time and still being alive couldn't be true.
'Well not unless it had some kind of food source that regularly fed it. But from how desolate this place looks that is not likely to be possible.
Still I should check to see if there is anything here or not.'
'But how?'
William thought for a moment before looking at Clawdia who was trying to lick the giant centipede and called her.
"Clawdia"
'Yes, Master.' Clawdia looked back and said.
"Can you go around this place and check if there is anything unusual about this place or whether there is some kind of food or storage like facility down here?"
'Alright master.'Saying that, Clawdia quickly left the place with a lighting burst, leaving him all alone.
William looked around him at this desolate place and started to fear a little bit.
'Maybe I shouldn't have told her to go search for anything.'
Then he shook his head as he looked at the giant centipede in front of him and with a brave heart he took one step forward.
Then as a slow breeze of air floated behind him, William took three steps backward.
'Sh*t!! Where the hell did that breeze come from?'
He looked left and right until he finally saw the way he had come in and realized what really happened.
'It might be because I broke the pool. That might have opened a place for the air to flow into this place and for me to feel the breeze from behind my neck.'
He looked back to the centipede and again took one step and another until slowly by time he was right in front of his face. More specifically its mouth.
He used his shaking right hand to touch the face of the centipede. A feeling of warmth could be felt from his hand as it touched the face.
'Why is it warm? Is it actually dead or is this just one of its side effects.'
William then took his hands off and went around its face to touch other parts of its body.
There were scales covering its whole body and there were even some scales that were on its face.
William touched them and they were cold, it was as he had expected from them. He knocked on the scales to see their hardiness.
The scales felt strong like he was hitting a steel wall. Even at this point of time, they hadn't degraded even a slightest bit. The scales themselves were very cold as he could feel it just by standing in front of them.
Then suddenly he had a terrible idea.
'Should I do that?... It's a crazy idea but I feel like I should do something like that since I'm here anyway.'
'Not many people in their whole lives can get such a moment, I can even say that I'm quite lucky to be here so why not use that to my advantage.'
William finally decided as he went back to its face again and looked for its mouth. He found it and tried to open it with all of his strength until he was able to.
Then he put his head inside the mouth and took his FPhone out and then turned on his camera. He smiled at the camera and took a selfie.
Ꮇ*ѴԼΞ+ƜρҮƦ
Looking at the photo he saw that it was of him being eaten by what looks like a huge centipede.
'Finally a photo I can upload on the social network and get some popularity.'
Then he put away his phone and used the orb to look inside the mouth.
All he could see were razor sharp teeth that were still very sharp. He put a finger on one of the teeth and his finger immediately went in like it was paper.
He looked at the blood that was dripping away and gave a nod.
'Still sharp too'
William got out from its mouth and waited for Clawdia to come back who also came right at that moment.
'Master Master, I'm back.'
"Well did you find anything?"
'No Master'
William gave a nod at that.
'Except for mountains of corpses that had turned into ashes and got blown away by me.'
"..."
'...'
"Were you playing with them?"
'Only for a slight moment.'
William gave a small sigh before he asked, "How big is this place?"
'Quite big Master. At least big enough to cover the whole place where we and the young girls from before are staying.'
'So this place is big enough to cover the Society huh.'
"Arthur, Call the emergency contact number."
"..."
"Arthur, Arthur. Can you hear me?"
"..."
After waiting for some time, William realized that this place was too deep for Arthur to hear him or have any kind of connection.
'I should build an underground lab and research the hel* out of this thing. Maybe I can even get some Legendary Item from it.'
William thought and walked back to the stairs.
But unknown to him, The drop of blood that was in the mouth of the giant centipede slowly fell and was drunk by it and its eyes flashed for a moment before going dark again.
William went up to the place and called Delmar to come over here.
"I don't care if you're putting it in the butt. I want you to come here right at this moment."
"I know that it's a once in a lifetime opportunity but what I have here is also one. So get your priorities crooked and come over here."
[ A Few Moments Later ]
"This better be good enough for me to leave that." Delmar said as he walked in the underground hallway.
William didn't answer him and both of them came in front of the beast. But because it was dark Delmar couldn't see anything.
"Where is the Special thing that you brought me here for? Don't tell its just this secret d-"
Clawdia charged up for a moment before releasing it above, lighting the place momentarily for Delmar to see what it was.
"-dump"
He went quiet after that and just looked at it for a long while before he screamed
"AHHHHHH"
