Chapter 138: 149 Fleeing The Mine

Facing off against his last opponent who was looking at him warily, Marcus charged forward using his higher speed to force the lizard onto the defensive.

With every swing of his scythe Marcus was slowly chipping away at the health of the strongest acid lizard left, which could not keep up with his speed while he was under the effects of embodiment of light.

Nevertheless, this lizards that had made it to level thirty-six did not plan to die, and using a desperate move formed a dense ball of acid which it actually blew up causing the acid to rain down on itself and Marcus.

The lizard with a natural resistance to the acid endured the pain as its skin began melting and looked towards Marcus expecting to find him dissolved, only to see that a massive shield of light had actually protected him against the acid.

The lizard furious to see that its self-damaging attack had failed to kill its enemy, lunged forward lashing out widely.

Unfortunately, for the lizard instead of biting and slicing into Marcus, a translucent purple arm flew out of Marcus' body and punched it right under its head.

Recoiling back from the heavy hit the acid lizard was unable to block as Marcus stabbed his scythe deep into its stomach.

Feeling the searing pain in its stomach the acid lizard knew it was going to die, but it had no intention of going alone and as a last act of desperation, stabbed its venomous stinger towards Marcus.

Seeing the stinger coming right for his head, Marcus pulled his scythe out and jumped to the side trying to avoid the attack, but the stinger managed to graze across his neck causing a faint trickle of Marcus' essence to leak out from the wound.

The lizard collapsing onto the ground as its blood spilled out all over the floor of the tunnel, used the last of its strength to raise its head and look at Marcus who it believed to have gotten with its venom.

However, instead of falling over and spasming from the lizards potent venom, Marcus was simply holding his neck to keep the grey mist like essence within his body from escaping.

Unfortunately for the lizard, without any blood, venoms and poisons had no effect on Marcus unless the specifically targeted the soul.

Watching the strongest lizard die as it stared at him with a hateful glare, Marcus turned around and saw that the Eternal Queens had finished off the lizard that had gone after them and were currently drinking healing potions.

Walking over to them Marcus said, "Looks like we managed to win but we really should get out of here, if we have to face a similar swarm, we will not be able to hold out."

The Eternal Queens that were pretty much spent all began nodding their heads even though a part of them wanted to collect the valuable parts of the lizards they had just killed but knew it would not be worth risking their lives.

However, as they were beginning to leave the heavily injured lizard that they had forgotten about had managed to crawl away before letting out a distressed squeaking sound.

Hearing this, Marcus understood it was a cry for help, so he used the small amount of mana he had recovered to cast his lightning javelin spell and sent it directly for the lizard.

The lightning javelin quickly stabbed into the heavily injured lizard cutting into its flesh and causing a devastating amount of electricity to kill the already nearly dead lizard.

Alas, Marcus was too late and in the next moment he felt his danger sense going off like crazy, and with all of his speed and strength jumped towards the Eternal Queens, pushing them out of the way as a massive jet of acid blasted from out of the ground below them.

Every member of the Eternal Queens looked back at the area they had just been standing that was now completely gone dissolved by a massive acid spray.

With an expression of alarm on his face Marcus could see the Eternal Queens frozen in fear and yelled, "We need to run now, whatever that was is not going to stop with one attack, move as fast as you can towards the exit."

The Eternal Queens hearing Marcus' words came out of their dazes' and got up and channeled the immense fear they were feeling into running.

Running through the tunnels of the mine heading back the way they came towards the exit, Marcus felt the ground rumble before his danger sense went off like crazy again.

"TURN TO THE LEFT NOW!"

The Eternal Queens listing attentively to Marcus since he was acting as their early warning system, changed their path heading left.

As they turned left another massive jet of acid shot out from the ground from where they would have been had they kept going straight.

Being at the back of the line Marcus could not help his curiosity and looked down the hole that went down around five hundred feet and saw a large cavern of brightly glowing celestial platinum, and inside of it was a massive acid lizard that was bigger than any creature he had seen since coming to Mirrion.

As he looked into the monster lizard's eyes Marcus could feel terror beginning to overtake him, and he nearly tuned back into his ghost form and fled right then and there.

'I cannot beat that thing, what the hell even is that, what level would it have to have obtained to be that big and radiate this pressure.

Looking down at what he figured was one of the strongest existences he had ever seen, Marcus worked up his nerves and gritted his teeth before running to follow the Eternal Queens, knowing they would most likely end up dead without his help.

Quickly catching up to the Eternal Queens who were running for dear life, Marcus continued to use his danger sense to help dodge the incoming blasts of acid that came every dozen seconds or so.

Darting around corners, jumping into alcoves, Marcus managed to keep his group safe from the barrage of acid blasts that showed no sign of ending, and the only saving grace was that the massive acid lizard showed no signs of leaving its cavern to follow them.

However, the acid attacks never let up and soon Marcus and the Eternal Queens had been corralled into a dead end.

'Fuck, what are we going to do I need to think of a plan right now.'

Marcus' brain began firing on all cylinders he was thinking faster than he ever had before, trying to come up with a way to get everyone out of this alive but the only idea he had was crazy and likely to fail.

"Everyone back to the tunnel we just came from, we are going to have to climb up the hole that the lizard created."

The Eternal Queens looked at Marcus like he was crazy for a second before understanding that this was their only way out now.

Running out of the dead end they had been trapped, Marcus looked back momentarily as the entire room was engulfed in acid, and had they stayed any longer every member of the Eternal Queens would have ended up dead.

Luckily, they ran back into he tunnel that now had a large hole in it and looked up seeing that it went all the way to the surface.

The Eternal Queens began climbing up the hole as fast as they could using whatever items and skills they had to speed up the ascent.

Unfortunately, the huge acid lizard that was trying to kill them soon poked its head into the hole that they were trying to climb out of.

Nevertheless, Marcus had been expecting this and had purposefully stayed by the hole's entrance ready to do whatever he could to slow down this lizard.

Staring down at this titan of a lizard, Marcus cast his tier four iron magic spell and drop his iron golem down the hole.

The lizard surprised to see the iron golem rocketing towards it, pulled its head back quickly as the iron golem caused a crater in the ground where it fell.

However, in the next instance Marcus saw his iron golem fly backwards, getting hit by something moving too fast to see and he could feel his connection break his golem completely destroyed.

Gulping loudly, Marcus cast his gaze upwards briefly to see that using her nature magic Rekia had conjured vines and roots that were helping the Eternal Queens to ascend much faster than normal climbing.

'I just need to stall for a little longer and they can escape, and then I will fly out of here on my own.'

Seeing the lizard poke its head back into the hole and open its mouth, Marcus could see the massive spray of acid forming in its throat and in order to stop this attack Marcus unloaded around half of the celestial platinum ore in his item box and dropped it down the hole.

The lizard then fired the acid jet it was preparing, which hit the falling celestial platinum ore and for a few moments was halted.

Luckily the celestial platinum was resistant to the acid from these lizards and even under the full power from a lizard many levels higher than Marcus, it still held out giving the Eternal Queens just enough time to escape.

Sighing at the loss of half of the celestial platinum ore he had mined, Marcus downed a mana recovery potion before reverting to his ghost form and slowly floating up the tunnel the acid lizard had created.

The lizard no longer sensing the tiny beings that had invade its home began stomping away, angry that the insects had been able to evade it.

Floating up to the top of the hole the Eternal Queens had climbed out of, Marcus right before coming over the top cast his tier five iron magic spell, causing him to sprout six iron wings on his back, before he rematerialized and flew out of the hole.

The Eternal Queens who were nervously waiting for Marcus to reappear, soon saw a blur fly out of the hole and began cheering seeing that Marcus was oaky.

Flying over to them Marcus landed on the ground before dismissing his tier five spell and saying, "Well I am glad we managed to survive that, and I am sorry I brought you here.. I had no idea that this place had a monster like that living in it."
