Advanced level.

Nate has always been the one facing a new level opponent before the others, it all started with the beast back when he found Lyon, then with the ghoul zombie before the titanic zombie and now he was about to face another one.

He started running into the battlefield like a madman. While he was doing this, he was telecommunicating with the others, ordering them not to join in the fight. Peter was also sent off to do him meanwhile, Lyon was already hellbent to kill the beast that he wasn't even hearing the link.

---

When looking at the beast that just disappeared from where it was standing before and now was before him. Lyon couldn't help but smile.

It was a centipede beast, it has a bug face with two antenna ears on its head, the same way as the back, and two tentacle tails swinging around the back. However, that wasn't the most frightening thing about the centipede beast. One part of the scary centipede was its multiple legs that allows it to move fast.

"I was right, you are just the perfect beast to add to...." before Lyon could finish his sentence, the centipede swung its whole body at him and it was so fast that Lyon was not able to react and was sent flying backwards.

However, as he flies, the mantis's wings unfold from his back stabilizing himself in the sky. The wing flipped a few times pushing Lyon further towards the beast.

This was a fast move and Lyon was expecting it to work out on the centipede. Lyon's body clashed with the ground and a big crater was created sending fragments of dust flying out.

The centipede has gone out of the way, just in time for Lyon to clash down.

Before Lyon could regain his composer, the centipede swung its body at him again, however, Lyon wasn't sent flying as he used one of his hands to stop it. And throughout a punch on the slimy shell body of the centipede, it was a powerful hit, yet the beast was still okay but won't let Lyon keep punishing.

Trying so hard to use his claws to stop the centipede beast, but its body has proven to not only be hard but also slippery that Lyons claws slide down its body and the beast has just escaped from his grip.

"You are going nowhere!" Lyon shouted as he plug out a spike from his back and leapt after the beast, he thrust it forward at the centipede beast. It was a nice aim however, on touching the body, the spike slipped off to the side not harming the beast.

Lyon landed on the floor and opened his mouth, spitting out a large amount of the acidic spite. However, the centipede crawled over a tree and dodged the spite coming from his behind. The spite has carried on to hit the other beasts, killing them on the spot.

Meanwhile, Lyon didn't just stop with one attempt, he kept on spitting out the acid, however, with its multiple legs and long body, it was pretty easy for the beast to move from one tree to another, annoying Lyon the more.

"Can't you just stay in place and let me kill you, most you drag me out," Lyon shouted as its focus was still on the centipede, the spikes on his back started to vibrant and they were all shot out at one, but this time, they were all aiming at the centipede.

However, all the spikes were skimming off the shell with no damage done.

"Just what will damage, your damn body!" lyon angrily said since, for the second time, a strike that was supposed to kill the beast was doing nothing.

He started to change his form, it was a lizard and he swung his tail at the beast on getting closer.

The tail hit just at the side of the centipede's body, however, as if it was an elastic body, its body shifted to the side and yet no damage was done as the beast leapt back up to the trees and changed its direction towards Lyon.

"Even that was not working, do I somehow lose my power, or is it just the beast is too strong," Lyon has to grab another dead body of a beast and shove it into his mouth, taking them all in. His lost energies seems to have gotten back and he leapt onto the tree, with his claws stabbing deep into the body of the tree.

He started to head for the beast, he was ready to use one of his power but it was at this moment, he saw something gathering around the centipede's mouth. It was a green semi-liquid substance and when he was close enough, it shot out from his mouth.

"Is that something like my acidic spite," either way, whatever the liquid might be, Lyon was not willing to let it touch him? He has leapt up, unfolding his wing and pushed himself up.

He eventually managed to dodge the spite, however, something came towards him. It was the back tail antenna tentacle. The centipedes swung the two antennae at Lyon and they wiped him on his chest.

It wasn't that much pain to Lyon but he felt his body getting weak as he fall back down, crashing into the trees while doing so. He had sustained quite some injuries in the process but that was something he won't be worried about since Lynn was there to suck it out from him and it was already happening as his body wounds were healing up.

Even the slight weakness he felt was fading away. "That beast is more dangerous than I thought," Lyon muttered as he quickly stood up to face the beast once more time. "It's clear you are not that powerful, but you have too many tricks up your sleeves," he said and glanced at the beast.

The centipede was approaching him again and its mouth was opened again as the green spite came out, heading towards Lyon.

"You are not the only one that can spite," Lyon shouted as he opened his mouth and also spite his acidic spite. They were a clear winner since Lyon's spite knocked the other aside and still went forward to the beast. The beast swerved to the side as the spite went past him. But one thing is clear, the centipede was able to produce more of its spite faster than Lyon, and as Lyon was about to spite out again but more were coming from the beast.

It was heading towards him and he can not evade it even if he wanted, so he decided to use his hand to knock it to the side, though ignoring what it might do. The spite hit Lyon on his hand and it was pushed into Lyon's chest.

Lyon attempted to pull out but he found out it was stuck. 'So it's just glue, no other special effect, ' Lyon thought, however when more of the spites hit him, he had a second thought that instant.

He was pushed to the floor, not able to move, Lyon could only watch the centipede approach him.

However, right before it could come any closer, a yellow thread hit his leg, cutting them off that instant.

"Raw strength might not be needed in all fights, sometimes, you have to study your opponent first before fighting them," Nate said as he approach Lyon.

"I thought I said this was my fight," Lyon said.

"Well, I can only see your doom as you are laying there," Nate replied.

Just then, something hit Nate on his left arm pushing him down to the ground.

"It might now be our doom," Lyon lamented at the sight before him, the centipede was coming regrowing a new set of legs.
