Alright, Let’s Turn Slaves Into Adventurers

Episode 8 Desperation

Az ran endlessly through the pitch-black cave.

I never thought there would be a space like this under the cliff…. But this is not the time to be admiring her.

The only thing to rely on is the light from the torch.

Is there no way to go up somewhere?

Such vague expectations were not fulfilled.

What the torches lit up was a mercilessly blocked wall.

No matter how much I look around, there is no road.

Only impatience piled up.

In the meantime, a creeping sound that had been heard in the distance came closer.

No. It was not a crawling sound, but a crawling sound.

The sound of walking on numerous legs and crawling on the ground with the torso.

I turned to the direction of the sound and held the torch as high as I could.

At last, the torches dimly revealed the identity of the sound.

“Ouch.”

The moment she saw that, Arzu let out her trembling voice.

Huge… Her head alone was a bigger centipede than Azu.

It was so long that torches couldn’t light it all.

The numerous gigantic legs growing from each side aroused visceral fear.

The reason Azu didn’t faint was because she had a premonition that if she lost consciousness, she would surely die.

But there is no law that she won’t die just because she is sober.

The giant centipede struck its fangs as if threatening. Each time a crash echoed through the cave.

Arzu firmly gripped the sword her master had given her in her right hand, her numbness still lingering.

‘With this sword, I might be able to inflict damage on monsters.’

‘Then they won’t see me as prey.’

Azu thought so.

Her breathing, disturbed by running, has stabilized, but her heartbeat seldom subsides. The cold sweat doesn’t stop. The blood drained all over her body.

As she inadvertently took a step behind her, the giant centipede turned her head towards Azu at the sound.

No, to be precise, I’m looking at a burning torch.

Ahzu has no way of knowing, but the centipede barely sees her eyes. It’s bright or dark, but at an intelligible level, and pursues her prey with sounds and vibrations.

The torch that lit up the dark cave was enough to get her attention from the centipede.

A huge centipede rushed at Azu with the sound of its huge fangs clattering.

The way she twisted her magnificent body word by word was much more agile than I thought.

I dodged to her side at her faster-than-expected movement, but fangs grazed her chest.

That’s all, her breastplate was crushed and fell off her Azu’s body.

The owner said it must have a protective spell on it.

But it’s so heartless… !

Her body would have been shattered if it hadn’t been for her gloves.

The shock wasn’t delivered, perhaps thanks to the magic.

Before she knew it, she saw the defenseless and exposed side of a centipede.

After pushing away her wriggling legs, he set down the torch and grasped the sword with both hands.

It’s okay. It’s still a bit numb, but since it’s a lightweight sword, I can wield it with all my might.

For the first time, Azu swung her sword at her opponent with all her might.

Her survival instinct kicked in, and the blow she inflicted with power beyond the limit….

I couldn’t touch the skin of the giant centipede.

Her hard shell easily deflected the sword, and the impact bounced back on Arzu’s arms.

“Wow!”

Luckily the sword didn’t break, but Azu’s hands couldn’t hold it.

She let go of her sword.

I tried to pick it up again, but the giant centipede approached Arzu faster.

I put the torch roughly around her side and hurriedly spread the distance.

The giant centipede saw the sword, not Az, and bit it in her mouth, then crushed it with its fangs.

Then she slowly looks at Az.

It’s as if you’re next.

The sword and armor that protected Azu, who was just a girl, disappeared.

It was just a helpless girl there.

“No… no no!”

When her equipment, which she believed would protect her, and the thing that could suppress her fear disappeared, Az completely panicked.

I ran away from the terrifying centipede with all my might.

Her leg got twisted and she fell several times and had scars all over her body. Her clothes became tattered in an instant.

Now she was no different than wearing rags.

She was very lucky that she was not bitten by a centipede while running away. But her girl’s stamina will run out soon.

The moment I ran away, time seemed to flow slowly.

Her gear gave way to her legs and she fell.

She tried to stand up somehow, using the torch as a staff, but her legs had no strength at all.

Her trembling arms couldn’t support the torch, and it fell off.

The tip of a burning torch lit up a pit in the wall.

It was quite long, but narrow.

After struggling to remove her backpack, Az crawled to her pit and ran away.

As expected, the centipede’s huge head did not fit well into her pit.

Each time her head was hit on her pit several times, she shook greatly, arousing Arzu’s fear. However, only small stones fell from her ceiling.

She barely lived. Let her rest until this guy leaves somewhere.

The moment I thought that, something grabbed Arzu’s clothes and pulled her down.

The long, slender legs of the centipede were briefly visible through the light of the dropped torch.

I used her head and put her legs in her pit and put it on Az’s clothes.

Azu, whose tattered clothes were torn and almost became her underwear, urinated on her.

But she didn’t even notice the feeling as it flowed down her legs.

It was dark, but Azu could vaguely see that there was a centipede’s head in front of her eyes.

And also with her mouth wide open.

The only thing Azu has on her body now is her underwear and a red magic stone necklace.

Right before seeing her kaleidoscope, Azu remembered exactly what her master had said.

“Break!”

I grabbed the magic stone with my last strength.
