Chapter 174
Ch . 174 – The End of The Lord of the Desert
The lower half of the Giant Centipede, separated from the rest of its body, thrashes about uncontrollably . Body fluids gush out from the separated sections, as it squirms about randomly and hits the ground, gouging it out .
Come to think of it, Centipede, since your body structure is jointed, can you move around without a head? I expect that it will exhaust itself immediately .
I’d be an idiot to get too close and be caught up in such a thing and to die as a result . Let me get away quickly . The problem is not the rampaging body, but the remaining half with the head . It should have taken considerable damage, but that guy is still alive . I should quickly give it the finishing blow .

Oou, it still has one third of its HP left? Is this how your regeneration works? Is it treating its blood loss? Well, anything is fine .
The Giant Centipede looks up while lying on its back, our eyes meet and it quickly flips its body over to prepare itself .
“GIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJiiiiiiii!”
It completely snaps . I am not referring to its body being cut into two, but it losing its temper .
Again, red light gathers at the mouth of the Giant Centipede . It intends to quickly release another Centipede Beam .
I spread my wings and fly over the top of the Giant Centipede . It was easy to gauge, because of the accumulated beam in front of its mouth and because I have an understanding of how long it takes to charge the beam, that there is nothing to be wary of .
I immediately land on its back behind its head . From this position, the centipede shouldn’t be able to hit me with the beam . The Giant Centipede shakes its head from side-to-side while firing the Centipede Beam, drawing a large line in the desert . Yosh yosh, use your MP in vain .
The Giant Centipede then starts twisting its body in an effort to force me off . I kick off from its shell and fly, landing on the ground and using [[Roll]] to dash through the desert .
I will run away for now . If I run around, I can expect it to K . O . from the blood loss . It seems a considerable amount of blood is going to its head, and there is no way to create any distance from the Giant Centipede .
“AAAIGIGIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJIJiiiiiii!”
The Giant Centipede is pursuing . It pushes its way through the sand, scattering body fluids in the desert while pursuing . However, compared to its considerable speed before it was severed in two, is its speed still dropping? If I seriously hurry right now, I could easily escape . Currently, I’m adjusting my speed as to not escape .
I periodically check behind me . Near the mouth of the Giant Centipede, red light is gathering again . Oi oi, the Centipede Beam fires too frequently, is its MP not completely exhausted? It’s completely lost its composure .
I accelerate at once and turn left . I trace a circle on the ground, aiming for the back of the remaining half of the Giant Centipede . The Centipede Beam follows behind me, but I pull away as soon as its angle nears me . Beyond that, it is necessary for it to twist its body a lot . It will not be as fast as turning its head to aim .
Aiming at the severed part, the place where there is no shell, I tackle it while maintaining [[Roll]] .
“GIJIiiAa!”
Its flesh gouges, body fluids start gushing out with more force . It will be impossible with only a single shot, but if I keep on striking it with two or three more shots…
The Giant Centipede raises its speed to get away from me . Of course, I stick close behind and chase after it . It seems the roles of the hunter and the hunted have suddenly been reversed, Giant Centipede .
Its speed continues to consistently drop . It’s inevitable now, Giant Centipede . Even though there should be a status abnormality, its HP is not going to decrease that easily .
Your pointlessly gigantic body seems to be your downfall . There is probably no way you can be saved in this situation .
That being said, I am also getting tired . At this rate, if I continue to deal with the Giant Centipede’s toughness, it doesn’t seem like I can hold out . I hope that it will kick the bucket soon .
From behind, I tackle it to change its direction, leading it towards the big hill where the Giant Centipede and I had collided earlier . I accelerate at once to take advantage of the angle at the peak . While grabbing the Giant Centipede, I flew into the air . Currently, the Giant Centipede’s weight has instantly dropped by one third due to its successful ‘cutting’ diet . If it weighs this much, it can be lifted a little bit .
The body of the Giant Centipede completely floats in the air . Of course, I can’t hold it for long, so it only floats for a few seconds . Our altitude drops quickly, the head of the Giant Centipede scrapes against the ground, and the carapace on its head is shaved off .
As I am becoming unable to support it as I fly, I twist my body to overturn the Giant Centipede .
“Ji, jijijijii……jii……”
An unpleasant sound comes from the Giant Centipede, as it becomes weak . The movement of its multiple legs begin to slow . After all, it seems that it no longer has enough strength to raise its body .

Remaining HP……7? Finally, the Lord of the Desert lays its back on the ground .
When I think about this fellow, I’ve had a long relationship with him since I came to the desert .
I’d never held feelings other than hostility and fear for the Giant Centipede, however I’m now vaguely experiencing some other feelings .
Maa, minimal feelings were there . Giving it a quick death to end its suffering is the least I can do .
I get onto the belly of the Giant Centipede, kick off from the carapace, and fly directly upwards . Pushing against the air with my wings, I aim for even a little bit higher . When I reach the limit, I tuck my tail, limbs, and head into [[Roll]] and turn with full power . In that state, I descend aiming at the belly of the Giant Centipede .
Umu, I will call this technique [[Iron Ball Drop]] . God’s Voice-san, add this skill .
I gradually increase in speed using gravitational acceleration and crash into the Giant Centipede’s belly .
