Chapter 234: An Eldritch!
Turner used a hand to clean his eyes in shock, and even Tina was shell-shocked as she saw what was on the screen.
"Hey, isn't that an –"
"HAHAHAHAHAHA!"
A loud laugh suddenly interrupted whatever Tina was about to say as Gunter leaned forward over the railing and shouted at the screen in uncontrollable excitement!
"Don't tell me you're freezing up now, boy!! Are you freezing up in front of an ELDRITCH!!? Is this the limit of your resolve!?"
The monster that had just landed in front of Mark was something that no one below the SOVEREIGNS could even dream about getting close to. Just being close to a monster like that was enough to crush you by its aura alone, and trying to fight it would be like an ant trying to destroy an elephant!
Luna clicked her tongue as she heard Gunter shouting. Doesn't that fool know that they cannot hear us through the screen? Stop bothering people with your stupid shouting and let me watch in peace. Luna turned back to the screen, and she felt worry settling in her heart. She hoped that Mark would be alright.
The difference between an Eldritch and a calamity was like night and day. Just the same way S ranks are nothing when compared to the Undefined. Calamities are nothing when compared to Eldritch class monsters. Was Mark going to be fine?
"Sasha! Get rid of that thing right now! He is not ready for an Eldritch!"
Alec shouted at Sasha in anger when he saw that she summoned one of the Eldritch class monsters that she recently killed. Did she want to kill the boy? How can she call something like this for a mere assessment!?
Sasha rolled her eyes in annoyance as she heard Alec shouting at her. She didn't want to call the monsters back, but now that her head was a little calmer, she realized that she might have gone a bit overboard by calling an Eldritch class monster for a mere assessment. Ah~ She was going to get sanctioned like crazy for this!
Sasha immediately put her hand to the ground to call her monster back into her prison, but she was stunned when she noticed something! What the fuck is that boy doing!?
Mark could feel it right down to his very bones! Every muscle in his body was screaming at him! Shouting at him like an endless siren! But they weren't telling Mark to run! No, they were telling Mark to charge! Mark could feel his entire body shaking in excitement as he tried his best to calm his beating heart!
'This fucker could really kill me.'
How long has it been since Mark faced off against something that could kill him? How long has it been since Mark faced off against something that he knew he couldn't hold back against!? How long has it been since Mark wanted a real challenge!? A wide grin burst to life on Mark's face!
"This is what I'm talking about!!"
BOOM!
Mark blasted off the ground like a rocket as he made his way towards the monster, and all the people watching immediately leaned forward as they didn't want to miss a moment of what was about to happen.
Luna felt her heart squeeze in fear as she saw that Mark was not running away, and she immediately folded her hands across her chest as she feared that her heart would burst out from her chest with how hard it was beating!
Gunter looked like a child looking at his favorite morning time TV show as he watched Mark charging for the monster, and Fiona could only stare at the screen with wide eyes.
Boom!
ROARRRR!
Mark launched himself forward with a massive sonic blast, and that made the centipede notice him immediately! It roared in anger as it skittered across the ground! The simple movement that it made destroyed more than one-third of the region, and Mark just dashed to the side as the centipede slammed its body into the spot where Mark had been standing!
BOOM!
The impact made the grounds rumble as a large cloud of dust and rocks flew into the air. The dust cloud covered the area, and Mark used that as cover to move towards the other end of the clearing. The centipede roared again in anger as it skittered around and tried to find Mark.
Mark used the cover of the dust to maneuver around the centipede, and he immediately activated his True Sight skill so that he could see where the weakest part of the centipede's body was.
[Achellies Heel] has been activated

"Come the fuck on!!"
[Achellies Heel] has been forcefully activated!
Spurt!
Mark became pissed as the system constantly turned off the skill he needed to activate, and he bypassed the system warning and forced the skill to turn on. But immediately the skill turned on, Mark's vision turned red as a massive amount of blood spurted out from his eyeballs!
"Fuck!"
Mark cursed in annoyance as he jumped far back to avoid getting hit by the centipede that was swinging its body erratically! Don't tell me that the centipede was so strong that the True Sight skill couldn't even be on for more than one second! That was madness!
Mark was only able to catch a glimpse of the centipede for one second before everything turned red, and he knew that if he left that skill on any longer, he could really lose his eyes! Mark turned off the Achellies Heel skill and used the back of his arms to clean the blood that had leaked out from his eye sockets.
"At least it wasn't completely useless."
Even though the skill was not active for a long time, that one second where Mark activated the skill gave him enough time to see through the dust cloud, and he was able to catch a glimpse of the weakest spot on the centipede's body! Mark's mouth split into a grin as he crouched low and raced straight towards the centipede!
The centipede was still swinging its body around trying to find Mark, but Mark was sure that the centipede would not be able to find him. According to what Mark learned in school about centipedes, they all had bad vision, and they were only able to find their prey using their antennae. That is why Mark made the centipede raise this much dust and soot into the air.
It would be hard for the centipede to find him in the middle of this storm since it would interfere with its antennae.
But Mark did not take into account the fact that this centipede was nothing like the ones that he learned about in school. Even though it was a centipede, it was also a monster of epic proportions. An Eldritch Class monster!
There were no weaknesses that it did not already account for!
