Chapter 10 - Cat VS Mukade

I rested for the whole day before starting my last attack at the centipedes nest. I feel energized and ready for combat. I stretched first before moving. I moved my feet and arms first to make sure they are in good shape. Once I know that I am completely ready, I started to run towards the centipedes nest. I did not walk this time because I am sure that there is no danger.

After awhile of running, I started to see the nest of the centipedes in my view. I counted the number of the centipedes again. There are 10 of them including the big centipede. Before I make my attack, I checked myself again to make sure I am ready. I also checked my shadows to see if I have full control of it.

My plan of attack is by:

1) Killing the small centipedes one by one before going for the big one.

2) Killing the big centipede as the last one.

It's pretty simple but I know that it will be hard to do and accomplish. One of my shadows will take one centipede each and at the same time, one for me. After killing it, we will hide again using the Stealth skill. A hit and run tactic that I mostly like. My Stealth skill is already level 9 making me undetected with 9 levels higher than my level. I'm already level 11, with this, level 20 and below will not detect me. The big centipede is level 10 making it powerless in my Stealth skill.

After making my last preparation, I made my attack with my shadows towards the centipedes. We killed each centipedes with Slash skill and Poison Fang skill which killed them instantly.

After killing three centipedes, we made our way to also kill the others but the other centipedes are already on guard and even some of them are finding the killer of their kind. But to no avail they can't find it. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Stupid insects you will never find me. I did the same process with the other centipedes and left the big one.

With the big centipede left for my killing, I first used Appraisal on it.

Name: None

HP: 200/200

MP: 150/150

STR: 20

VIT: 20

DEX: 10

INT: 10

WIS: 10

My Appraisal skill leveled up to 9 now and with it's help I can now see the attributes of others. Seeing the attributes of the big centipede, I can be sure that I can't kill it with the same technique with the small centipedes. I can only damage it little by little but with the help of my two shadow clones, I can possibly manage.

Me and Shadow clones made a move towards the big centipede and at the same time used Slash at it's back.

With this we managed to damage it by 50 health points. I tried using Poison Fang but my teeth can't penetrate it's carapace. The big centipede made a turn around to attack us which successfully damage one of my clones.

-30

A single clone of mine has 75 health points and with the 30 damage it was left with 45 health points. By the time it was gonna attack again, we already manage to be out of it's attack range. After dodging it's attack, we used Stealth to hide. We run towards it's back again to attack and manage to damage it again. I used the same spot again where we attacked making the carapace of the centipede to have a crack.

With the damage from our Slash skills, we followed it up with Poison Fang which further damaged it.

Inflicted with poison. 9 damage per 3 seconds.

The centipede was left with only 56 health points but suddenly it attacked with it's tail damaging the same clone from before.

The centipede made a huge damage and crushed my shadow at the ground leaving some cracks at the ground. My shadow was dead with that blow and that left me with one shadow clone only. I used that opportunity to hide again using Stealth and run back towards it's back.

3 seconds has passed which damaged it again, leaving it with 47 health points. I again attacked it's back and used Slash together with my clone.

The centipede was left with 12 health points which I finished with Poison fang.

My Slash skill was gone and was replaced with Power Slash. I can conclude that after achieving a certain level in a skill it may evolve into a new powerful skill. I'll look at the skill Power Slash to see if their is a difference with the old skill.

Power Slash (Level 1):

Slash at an enemy by using your claws, hands, or equipment. A good attack at the cause of stamina.

Use 120% of STR.

Wow it increased in percentage by a whole lot before it was only 109% but now it is 120%. This is a huge upgrade and can help kill my enemies much more easier. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I creepily laugh. I laughed like a maniac thinking about the possible things I can do with this skill.

Many minutes passed and I felt tired suddenly which made me involuntary lay at the ground. I force myself to stand and hide the spoils of my hard work which are the corpse of the centipedes. After making sure that they are well hidden, I go to a corner with my foods beside me and started to rest.
