Chapter 118

Ch . 118 Mirage

I shoot [[Kamaitachi]] with my wing while floating in the air . The air blades are definitely scraping the needle camels surface .

From the scooped out body, a viscous liquid like that of a cactus drips and a sweet smell drifts . Even if I’m fighting, my mouth was still salivating .

The needle camel glares at me with its empty sockets while still in its defending posture . The needle camel seems to be in a difficult position . But, there is no reason to get closer . Its HP will still decrease even from afar .

Looking at the exhausted needle camel, it dissolves its defensive posture and stands up . The surrounding sand starts to roll up around the needle camel so as to fit it .

Is this the [[Sandstorm]] skill? Well if it is its not that intense . I can somehow still find my way if it’s like this . It seems that it used [[Mirage]] just when the visibility was getting worse… .

Should I continuously use [[Status Check]]? I know it will use up my MP, but . I know its a little cheap to do so, but it won’t be able to deceive my [[Status Check]] . That way I can judge whether its genuine or not .

Ah, blindly shooting off [[Kamaitachi]] is a pretty big burden on the wings . Needless to say, they have both been overworked . I’d better get down soon .

I use [[Status Check]] to check whether the needle camel is real as I drop my altitude . At that moment, a strange sound came from below . I have a bad feeling, and quickly fall down while twisting .

A pointed sand pillar extends right past me . Immediately after, the pillars of sand broke down and collapsed, making the sandstorm darker .

Because I had forcibly changed my trajectory, my posture collapsed as I fell . I forcibly adjust the direction of my body with [[Roll]] and beat my tail on the ground, to kill the impact of the land . I kick the ground as it is, and fly backwards to take a distance from the needle camel .

Oh, is that it? Does it manipulate the sand and solidify it?

I guess this is the [[Clay]] skill . Certainly the Clay Bear had the same skill . Even if its the same, the needle camels is far bigger .

……That guy, the sand column made using [[Clay]] was hidden with [[Mirage]], and it was done with the help of [[Sandstorm]] . [[Sandstorm]] not only reduced visibility it also obstructed my auditory sense . I did not notice the sound of the sand pillar approaching .

High magical power is dangerous after all . Disregarding myself, I really haven’t confronted the magic type . Thinking back, it seems that there were only muscle brained types in the forest, excluding the black lizard…

I don’t want to get to close to the needle camel, I will just take my time scraping away at it from a distance .

I don’t want to hit it myself since its skin is covered in needles . The momentum will weaken and it won’t give much damage . As long as its HP is steadily decreasing, I can continue using [[Kamataichi]] as is .

Trying to flap my wings to fly, I hear something cutting the wind flying towards me . I guard with my wings and three needles pierced it, sticking to it .

It probably shot while hiding it with [[Mirage]] . I wont be able to see something so thin . Is it getting desperate and decided to hunt instead?

I have to avoid this long distance attack, but the sandstorm is making it difficult to pick up the sound . I can only rely on sight… . ohh!

I twisted my body to avoid the needle that flew towards my neck . The other needle moved and I was stuck on my chest .

Woah! Wait!

I just barely decided that I was going to once again believe in my vision! To see it, I will avoid it using the sky’s reflection .

But what if I close my eyes as soon as this happens . I might be misled . If I can’t see it, it will be dangerous if it ends up in a different place .

Should I only count on the sound then?

But that alone won’t help, I won’t be able to aim like that . I’ll be able to tell where the needles are flying, but will I be able to move my body right with my eyes closed?

I avoid the needles, and within the gaps, fire off [[Kamaitachi]] . It’s useless . My attack frequency will keep on decreasing . It also has [[Automatic HP Recovery]], so the fight will be prolonged if this keeps up .

Will this be decided at once with a prepared needle in close combat? The opponent’s attack power is low but I won’t be able to do anything if it comes to a fistfight . Its disadvantageous if I think about being struck while it’s hiding in an illusion .

I keep my distance from the main body while defending from the flying needles with [[Kamaitachi]] and my wings . Even if my vision is deceived, it is easy to search for the main body because it is skipping over the blown away needles .

In the increasingly violent sandstorm, I can see the figure of the needle camel . I release [[Kamaitachi]] all the while and attack it while removing the sand in the vicinity . I kick the ground and spread my wings, flying low towards the opponent while following the wind blades .

My body collides with the needle camel from the front . At that moment, the shape of the needle camel sways . I slip through the needle camel as is without minding the distortion and fly straight . As I thought, what I saw was just the mirage of the needle camel .

You may be able to mislead the direction but you cannot deceive the depth . It seems such wisdom is also in the needle camel, but i’m a former human being . I can check if it is an illusion with [[Status Check]] . I won’t lose in wisdom with a beast . No, its a plant . Which do you prefer?

A sand tower penetrates just behind me . It seems that it planned to lure me in and stab me with [[Clay]] when I stopped in front of the needle camel illusion .

I will not get tricked the same way again!

I will give you a [[Kamaitachi]] .

The blade of wind scattered the sandstorm, the noise got thinner, the location of the needle camel that was hidden came into view using [[Presence Sense]] .

Lets check its status .

You can’t hide if I know where you are . Definitely its main body .

I release [[Kamaitachi]] towards the needle camels head while I jump . The needles that protected the right of its head splashes around .

I stretch out my arms into the air, put my hands on the right of its head, and dig my claws into the needle camels head . I grasp it tight and twist its head around while doing a cartwheel .

[Normal Skill [[Neck Breaker]] Lv changed from 2 to 3]

The head of the needle camel flew away and the liquid inside spew up . While landing and looking back, the huge body of the needle camel collapses with a huge thud .

[504 experience points obtained] [Title Skill [[Walking Egg]] activated, gained 504 more points]

The value was pretty high .

As expected, high Lv enemies are worth aiming for . Although, I don’t want to meet with the Huge Centipede again .

[[[Evil Plague Dragon]] ‘s lV has risen from 22 to 29]

It’s a nice feeling .

Well, how do I collect the contents of the needle camel?
