Fools.
POW!
One more acid blast is unleashed when they close in on me, scalding and eating away at the closest pursuer.
Haha! Didn't expect me to recharge a shot in that time did you? Thankfully you guys are dumb enough to fall for the same trick twice!
Whilst the unlucky centipede tries to cope with his second dose of +4 acid the other shapes up to do battle. I've been able to create another one on one situation and I need to finish it before the other enemy recovers and joins the fray.
I decide to make a risky play. I don't want to drag out this fight and give my opponents the chance to bring their dreaded stingers into play, it's the only thing that could finish me in one strike.
My foe draws near carefully, feinting and posturing with jaws and claws.
I charge directly at it with full speed.
Bring it oooooooooooon!
The startled centipede reacts swiftly, snapping forward with its claws and grabbing hold of a leg with one and gouging a scrape in my face with the other. But my momentum isn't to be denied.
With my larger and more powerful mandibles I dive forward and as I crash into my enemy I attack once more with my fearsome Crushing Bite.
[Chomp has reached level 2]
The centipede frantically tears at me with its claws, inflicting damage but it isn't enough.
Crushing Bite!
[You have defeated level 3 Claw centipede]
[You have gained XP]
The final centipede has suffered greatly from my two acid attacks and isn't able to put up much of a fight. I finish it quickly with a few more bites and the sweet tones of Gandalf ring in my ears once more.
[You have defeated level 2 Claw Centipede]
[You have gained XP]
[You have reached level 4. One skill point awarded]
I did it.
Victory!
I have triumphed over the hated foe. Four versus one and you still couldn't get it done you worthless crawlers! Haha!
I perform the best victory dance I can with my injured legs.
Checking my HP I've been reduced to 20 but I'm not too worried. After consuming this Biomass I'll be back up to full or close to it.
Speaking of which, these disgusting grubs aren't going eat themselves.
After consuming the lot of them, I had to take a break in the middle, I manage to gain four Biomass and something else unexpected.
[You have unlocked the intermediate profile: Claw Centipede]
I've finally consumed enough of these things to open up the intermediate profile eh?
Well, that is secondary. My primary concern is that I've successfully reached level four. Only one more level and I'll be able to evolve, finally! It's so close I can almost taste it!
I have to make plans.
