STRIKER: Independent Beast Tamer-Chapter 666: Tier-5 Wild Centipede

5th Zone, City A

Wilderness

Jeremy watched the fighting between the two. In the dense forest, only the sounds of fighting could be heard.

It was because of that, he and Senior Erik got alerted. Their lifeline beasts were fighting on the other side.

It would definitely attract the attention of other corrupted beasts passing by. He didn't know whether Senior Erik could fight.

If he could fight, then he could support his junior brother. It would be better if they finished the job before the corrupted beasts arrived.

Shortly afterwards,

The Tier-5 Beast Tamer Erik was here. Jeremy looked at him. Like him, he was monitoring the situation as well. Now that he is here.

He thought the two of them could take down the old man.

He didn't have to intervene. If he intervened in the battle, it would expose him more. Finally, he decided to leave.

Swoosh!

Instead of going back to the city, he changed direction and started heading back to the inner wilderness.

There was no fixed path. He took out the katana and started clearing the path. The overgrown bushes and vegetation were cut down on the way.

He was trying not to make noise as much as possible. At the same time, he was using his eyesight. His gaze swept across the place.

One hour later,

Rustle!

Suddenly, he heard a rustling sound ahead. At the same time, his sense of crisis shot up. He paused his footsteps and looked ahead.

The sense of crisis was coming from there. He didn't know what it was. He held the katana tightly, pointing the blade tip downward.

Rustle!

The rustling sound occurred again. This time he was sure something was moving and coming towards him. He didn't waste any time and began to cover the blade with starlight liquid.

In a flash, the blade was coated in starlight power. The starlight power shone with a bright glow.

Boom!

The next second, something exploded from the ground.

Jeremy felt the sense of crisis increase again. The massive head of a wild centipede beast appeared, breaking through the ground.

The centipede's head was over 5 meters in size. The crack in the ground continued to expand. The massive body of the centipede was revealed.

The length of the centipede was over 30 meters. It had over a hundred legs. The beast was covered in red and black colors.

An overwhelming, menacing aura was coming from it.

Jeremy felt the pressure. He stood on the same spot. He didn't run away, because he knew it was impossible for him to outrun the beast.

The centipede beast's speed was terribly fast. Instead of running away, he decided to face the beast.

As he looked at the beast, the beast looked at him as well. The sense of crisis he felt was from a Tier-5 beast and above.

But he was sure that it was a Tier-5 Beast. If it were a Tier-6 Beast, he would have collapsed on the ground already.

So, the beast in front of him was actually dangerous. It was not easy to break its defense.

Boom!

The centipede beast darted out from its place the next second. Jeremy's eyesight became sharper. The speed of the beast slowed down in his vision.

Yet, the speed was actually fast. Jeremy sidestepped to avoid the direct attack. But he moved his blade diagonally.

Slash!

The blade swept across before striking the side of the body.

Pfff!

The blade felt resistant. Yet, the starlight power helped the blade to penetrate the skin. He drove the blade deeper.

This happened within a few seconds. The next second, he felt an immense crisis. His senses alerted him. He retreated.

Boom!

The next second, the huge mouth of the centipede struck the ground.

Jeremy trusted his senses. Otherwise, the mouth would have shredded his body into pieces.

Jeremy gazed at the wound. The wound left by the blade appeared to be a small hole in the massive body.

So, he used his second eye ability next. The body of the beast became transparent. He saw the blood vessels running through the body.

In order to kill the beast, he had to sever the head. Otherwise, it was going to be a long-drawn battle. He was not interested in such a battle.

He was interested in killing the beast and to go and look for the Skull Gang Members.

Boom!

The huge head of the centipede turned around and shot a black streak of light towards him.

Jeremy's senses screamed all of a sudden. His body moved sideways without him thinking about it.

Boom!

The jet-black light missed him narrowly and went past him. In a flash, the black light struck the ground filled with the dense forest and trees.

The next second, the black light erased everything in that area in the blink of an eye.

Jeremy took a small glance. He saw how an empty area of a few hundred meters was formed in the blink of an eye.

Seeing that, he broke out into a cold sweat. One single mistake could erase him from the place.

He gripped the katana in his left hand and took out the handgun. It was time to risk everything. He coated the bullets with starlight power.

Swoosh!

The centipede's head turned towards him and was about to shoot another black light.

Bang!

But he started firing. His gaze locked onto those compound eyes. The white bullets streaked through the air at fast speed.

An air-tearing sound was heard. The centipede's senses were high as well. It felt the upcoming danger. But the speed of the bullet was too fast.

Pfff!

Before the beast could turn around to flee, the starlight bullets punctured the compound eyes one after another.

It broke the eye sockets before striking the solid plate. The head of the centipede was round with solid defense. Yet, the eyes were not safe.

Scream!

The beast let out a scream as blood gushed out from the wounds. Jeremy put back the gun and held the katana again.

He weighed the pros and cons. He had other urgent matters. Going against the beast now was a waste of time. Since he had the opportunity to escape, he should do it.
