(A/N: I'll be using the name Celeste kapag nasa game si Athena)

Celeste and the rest continued walking. She can already see better. Thanks to the healing potion. 

May mga items silang nakuha kanina but they all agreed na saka na lamang nila iyon paghahati hatian after ng quest. 

Celeste looked at the time on her screen. It's already past 8 pm. Good thing, hindi masyadong maaga ang klase niya bukas.

"It's a cave," Thunder said. 

"Are we going inside?" Tanong ni Celeste.

"There might be treasures inside" wika ni Bullet and he whistled joyfully. This one is really carefree, just like Jared. 

Speaking of Jared. Celeste wondered if he joined this world quest.

"Let's go" Emp said and they entered the cave. 

Just as they entered, a deafening sound was heard inside the cave. 

Phantom lit up the area using his magic and they saw a giant centipede. It's the second monster they need to defeat.

Celeste looked at the monster's level - Level 45. Celeste thought that this one is much better than the witch, or so she thought?

Anyway, this monster made her hair stands. Kinikilabutan na siya sa maliit na centipede, what more sa malaki?

"Prepare yourselves," Thunder reminded. 

When the centipede noticed their existence, it immediately rushed towards their direction. Fortunately, they were able to dodge in time. 

Although this centipede has a large body, it really moves fast. 

Agad na inilabas nila ang kanya kanyang weapon at tumira. Normal attacks lang ang kanilang ginagawa. 

Celeste noticed how hard the centipede's skin is. Her attacks are just bouncing back. But somehow they were able to reduce the monster's life bar. 

Bullet used his gun and fired. Tumagos ang mga bala at nabawasan ng 20% ang buhay ng Centipede.

Nagchant si Phantom ng spell at may nagappear na magic circle sa kinatatayuan ng centipede na lumikha ng malaking pagsabog. Nabawasan muli ng 10% ang life bar nito.

Pero masyadong mabilis ang centipede at agad na sumugod gamit ang ulong bahagi nito sa pwesto nina Emp at Celeste. Emp managed to dodge the attack but Celeste was hit. Her agility is still lacking. 

"Okay ka lang Celeste?" Thunder immediately went beside Celeste and helped her stand. 

Celeste nods her head. Pinagpagan niya ang sarili.

"Stay alert" Emp said and looked at Celeste. Celeste snorted. Her HP was reduced by 20%.

Hindi pa sila gaanong nakakabawi ay naglabas ang centipede ng likido. 

"Poison!!!" Sigaw ni Phantom and they all left the perimeter. They activated their shields except for Celeste.

"Celeste!" Hindi na niya malaman kung sino ang sumigaw ng pangalan niya. She was just standing there hanggang sa matamaan siya ng poison but her HP remains the same. 

Halata ang pagkabigla sa mukha nina Thunder. 

"Panong--"akmang magtatanong pa si Thunder pero natigil iyon nang biglang sumugod muli ang centipede. Nagkanya kanya silang talon sa iba't ibang direksyon. 

Celeste studied the centipede's movement. She still has one chance of using her ability to find the monster's weakness but she's saving it for the last battle. 

Celeste released lots of arrows to find the centipede's weakness but she's not successful.

Thunder used his knifes to hit the centipede. Nabawasan ng 10% ang life bar nito.

Tumalon ng mataas si Emp at tinusok sa ulo ng centipede ang espada at nagkaroon ng malaking pagsabog. Celeste looked at the centipede's life bar, 40% remaining.

Mabilis na hinugot ni Emp ang espada at tumalon palayo dahil nagpakawala muli ng lason ang centipede.

When the poison was cleared, they all started to attack altogether. Celeste looked at the centipede and noticed that something was unusual. 

She looked at the centipede's tail part. He's been protecting it since earlier. Sa tuwing matatamaan ang buntot nito ay agad niyang iniiwas.

Hindi kaya?

Celeste's lips curled up. 

Nagpakawala muli ng likidong lason ang centipede at sinamantala iyon ni Celeste para pumwesto sa likod nang hindi nito namamalayan. Dahil hindi immune sina Emp sa poison ay hindi sila basta basta makalapit sa centipede. 

Agad na tinutok ni Celeste ang kanyang pana at nagpakawala ng Fire Arrows. Natupok ang buntot ng centipede. Pagkatapos ay pinakawalan niya ang Blazing Phoenix. Sinigurado niyang lahat ng iyon ay sa buntot tatama. 

Unti unting bumaba sa 15% ang life bar ng centipede.

Dahil sa ginawang pag atake ni Celeste ay nagwala ang centipede. 

Kinuha nila ang pagkakataon para umatake ng sabay sabay hanggang sa maubos ang life bar ng centipede at tuluyan itong maglaho. 

May mga nalaglag na items at itinago iyon lahat ni Phantom sa kanyang magic storage.

Napahiga si Bullet sa lupa.

"Nakakapagod yun ah"

Agad na uminom si Celeste ng potion dahil halos maubos na ang kanyang mana at HP.

"Good job Celeste" ginulo ni Thunder ang buhok ni Celeste. 

Nag indian sit si Bullet "Binabawi ko na talaga yung sinabi ko kanina."

Ngumiti lamang si Celeste

"You're not affected by the poison?" Napatingin si Celeste kay Phantom. Minsan lang kasi itong magsalita.

"Poison resistance" tipid na sagot ni Celeste at nagsimula ng maglakad.

"Uminom ka ng potion?"

"Nope, that's one of my abilities"

"Astig. Bakit parang ang dami mo ng skills at abilities? Anu ano pa ang kaya mong gawin?" Sinabayan ni Bullet at Thunder sa paglalakad si Celeste. Nasa unahan naman si Emp at Phantom.

"That's a secret Bullet "

"Hahamunin kita ng duel pagkatapos ng quest"

"Lalabanan mo talaga ako na mas mababa ang level sayo? Edi alam na natin kung sinong panalo"

Nag uusap lamang sila hanggang sa makarating sa dulo ng kweba. This is the dragon's lair. The final destination for the quest.
