The Bug Tribe (Part 6): The Grand Centipedeus

...…

As Tinker was starting to panic due to what he was seeing, Adept Hands suddenly put her hand on his shoulder and said. "Don't worry. It is nothing but an apparition. Aside from looking at us and what is going on here, he can do anything."

Tinker frowned as he turned to the alchemist beside him. "That? An apparition? But how come the aura that it has is so dreadful that it can suffocate anyone just by staring at it?"

"It is because it is a higher entity than us. Looking at it can kill us due to its authority," she added before pointing her chin at the growing tree at the altar. "Fortunately, we are being protected by the Tree of Life here."

Hearing that, Tinker was finally able to heave a sigh of relief. He thought that they were going to fight such a powerful monster that they could not hope to defeat.
