Metal Lich - 27 Metal Lich chapter 22. Stuck worse than a tick.

When I exit, the corridor there were more cells around this one, there was a body in bones in the cage, in front of my cell, but I would have to use a lever to try to open it. I look to the right, at the end of the corridor it was dark, look to the left it was also dark at the distance. All the light came from my cage, that had a hole in the ceiling. Every 5 meters there were two parallel columns, accompanied by a wall on each side, then followed by 1 to 3 cells more or less, in each corridor there was a torch that was placed on the opposite side from the one in the previous corridor. So, I decided to go to my right, since they say it is the hand of luck. Because this side is going to give me long life; while the left hand can give me good fame and wealth. Surviving currently was much more important than wealth.

With my torch what I was doing was lighting the ceiling since it gave me 2 meters of clear visibility around me and another 3 meters of less clarity. My plan was to just spend the flashlight if I see something that is very curious or interesting, I maybe focus the torch to it, but my plan was to only use the lamp for 5 to 30 seconds maximum, to get my eyes used to the darkness, however the funny thing was that when I turned off the light, my eyes convey the darkness and clarity, in shades of red.

At times I heard how water droplets tumbled the floor as it fell or the sound of small animals screeching around me. The corridor was made of blocks that were placed to strengthen the ceiling support, however some blocks were at the floor, they had separated from the wall, creating small mountains of rubble along the way, however my personal opinion is that it was not necessary to put blocks on the wall, because on the other side of the wall you could see solid rock on the other side. Or maybe it was more aesthetic, or it had a color that was much brighter, that maximized the brightness of the torches.

Like any Gamer, my first objective was to get the armor and collect any item that could be useful in the future. I started to try to open all the cages that I was finding, however the first 3 that I found, had the lock mechanism damaged, which means I needed a lever or pig leg to open it.

Reaching the next corridor, I saw a torch, and without hesitation I take it.

“Ding!”

“This item can be used as a weapon or a lamp do you want to equip it? Yes or No.” My Omnivaiz said.

“Yes!” I said.

“Ping!”

“You want to name this equipment? Yes or No.” My Omnivaiz said.

“Yes!” I said.

“Choose the name of your item!” My Omnivaiz said.

I thought for a moment about it characteristics and came to the conclusion that this had the utility of a flashlight and the power of a lacer pistol, so I called it:

“The Flashlaser!”

“The Flashlaser: It is a torch that can be used as a flashlight, club or lacer pistol. Range 2 meters of light, as a lamp, Melee weapon or 5 meters long-range Energi Shot Damage: 5% of attack and strength. 16 pts light and duration” My Omnivaiz Told me. Then I observe that the Energy Shot status falls to 0. I ran to the next torch and took it

“Ding!”

“You cannot take this item!” You do not have enough capacity to take this item!” My Omnivaiz Told me. I place the torch that have 99 points in my inventory and take, the one in the wall.

“Ding!”

“You what to equip The Flashlaser?” Yes or no.

“Yes!”

“Flashlaser equipped” My Omnivaiz Told me. Then I turn it on, only a second lasted on, when it stopped working, turning to dust. So, I did some more tests, and discovered that must equipped to get it fill with the energy shot status. If I use with 1 and it reaches to 0, it goin breaks, and turn into dust. So, I decided that from now on I would collect them and keep them in my inventory. My plan was to fill them with point of the energy shot, so that I can have more of this weapon in case of an emergency.

After collecting a large amount of Flashlaser, I realized that I forgot to check the cells. I don’t know how many corridors I had passed, but I found a ladder that go up one level.

I looked up at what could be the exit and looked at the corridor behind me where I knew there was an exit, thinking what to do; suddenly I hear:

“Squeak!”

” -17 pts!” I see this number shine in my vision. Simultaneously, I felt something hit me, and I flew where I came from. At the moment, I can not explain what had happened to me…

“39 HP-6” I see this shine in my vision. Feeling the hard ground beneath me simultaneously.

“Squeak!” I heard Again. Look where the sound came from and Illuminate the place where it seemed to me, that the sound was coming, then I see a bat. I check my quickly status to see how many life points I had left.

Health point:

33/209 pts.

Energy Shot:

24/100 pts.

Mana point:

20/20 pts.

Force field

67/100 pts.

Light feather field

50/100 pts.

Looking at my fast status, the damage was divided into 3, so the blow sent me 6 meters walking away the stairs. The bat seems to have been surprised to see that his blow has sent me flying so far; as fast as I could, I raised my self from the ground and ran to the bat and almost instantly I get behind him, seizing the moment I hit him. I knew something was wrong with my speed, but this was not the time to think about it.

“Bam bam bam bam bam

“HP -15 pts, -6 pts, -10 pts, -2 pts, of damage!” My Omnivaiz said.

I had a torch in each hand, so, I Hit the bat with each of the torch like I was hitting a drum. Seeing the damage my weapons did, I think the more energy points it has the more damage they can do, within its assigned percentage.

The bat falls at the floor. He was crawling while trying to run away from me. I decided to do a little experiment with my tongue.

“Splash…Bam!” I spit my tongue at the bat, since frogs often use their tongues to catch their prey.

“Crack!” The bat sound, upon receiving the blow of my tongue

“7-255! Overkill” My Omnivaiz said.

“Crack, crack…Gulp” I chewed it and swallowed the bat. My intention was to catch him and try to copy a skill, but unfortunately, I did not know that my tongue was so powerful. The good or bad is that it didn’t taste like anything. Having a tongue did not mean having the ability to taste things.

“Ding!”

“You have obtained 1100 grams of biomass and 30 experience points!” My Omnivaiz said.

“Next famine period 73 hours! What? That is not good! from now on your points will regenerate from your biomass!” Misleplick said.

“Shit, he Fuck me up!” I said. He was probably waiting for me to eat something, to damage my system a little more. Probably my system used to get status points from the mana in the environment.

That makes me feel like a character in a video game, where that bastard is a player who has a Gameshark, with which he can alter me or Hack mi sistem, whenever he wants.

I went upstairs trying to forget about that asshole hoping he couldn’t read my mind too.

When I reached the next level, I saw that the roof was more than 8 meters high, there was a blue light in a dome that illuminated the whole room, this was a large room, in the middle of it there was a fountain, and around it were some rocks, that every certain time revolved around it, the problem with it was that they had metal spikes that they magically appear, and in this same way they disappeared.

In the room there were 8 doors that were at 3 meters high that could only be accessed by stairs, It had a small 3 meter ramp, accompanied by a ladder that went down to the level of the fountain.

“Splash Splash!” I took two steps into the room

“37 Hp-10, 27 Hp -10 pts!” I see this number shine in my vision. I didn’t see any monsters attacking me. And I was sure of this, because I did not fly off in any direction.

“27, 26, 25, 24, 23…!” I was losing life quickly, while feeling my feet were wet, I look down I saw water.

“Shit!” That was the problem! I accidentally stepped on it. Seeing that the damage went directly to my life. I jumped up the stairs to my left. Apparently, the water was the weakness of this body.

Once on top of the platform to the left of the entrance to this room, look at my life points, and I saw that they stopped going down. I started looking at where all this water was coming from, I realized that the water comes from the fountain, which was broken in some places. Which means that the water came from there, and in some magical way it kept working even though the water was running out of it.

Seeing that my life was flashing red. I take 45 regeneration points and regenerate my life points.

In order not to waste energy, I decided to explore this corridor. I found out that this one looked exactly like the hallways below, however every 1.5 meters there were jugs, I see a door at the end of the corridor, there were 5 jugs in total until I reached a door, so I opened the first to see what was inside, this one has oil, I went to the second and this one had dry grass, looking at the torches on the walls i thought for a momentthen I assumed they were the fuel for the torches, I take the torches and all the jugs and throw them in my inventory.

I arrived at the door, I put my finger into the lock of this door and tray to opened, but it did not open.

“66 Hp -51pts!” I see this number shine in my vision. With what I felt 3 simultaneous hits, in my back that sent me flying, against the metal door.

To my surprise my face hit the bars of the door and they broke into the room, letting me through.

“Light feather field -15!” I see this shine in my vision. The Light feather field absorbed all the damage I received when hitting the gate. With what I realized why I flew off, when the bat hit me the first time. Meaning that it was becoming a double-edged sword.

The Light feather field It was good status, because it absorbs damage or allow me to jump longer or further away, but after that, it was just a nuisance.

When I turned to get up, I felt watched, so I looked around. It was a spacious room with three pillars on each side, next to the pillars were many jugs same as the ones I found outside. In front of me was a stage like the one used by judges to judge people, On the left there was a space that I assume was for the jury, and to the right was the entrance to this room.

The place at first glance looked decrepit, the ground was full of bones, which made me look up, with what I saw one pairs of red lights that seemed to be watching me. I point The Flashlaser, to the roof to see better, then I see big bat that were looking at me.

He smiled at me, maybe it wasn’t a smile, but it showed me a huge row of teeth, this caused me a lot of terror what was surely drawn on my face, with what he decided to attack me, dropping from the ceiling.

I Jump aside, when he falls to the ground, the place shiver for a few seconds. what paralyzed me in the place where I was. Then I saw how he tried to split me in two with his wing. I reacted, jumping backwards. He barely touched me with his wing, but he had such strength and speed that he sent me flying, but for my good luck he sent me back where I had entered, on this room. I pass like a bullet to the other side, for the bats chasing me, this was very bad. I imagine that they were paralyzed on the other side when they saw that their blow was so strong that they sent me flying to this side, in other words the same thing that happened with the first bat.

“Light Feather Field -10 damage!” This status bar blinks in my vision.

“You have obtained -15 of damage!” My Omnivaiz said. I felt various parts of my body were scraped by the metal of the door. But looking at my quick status I discovered that the damage was distributed among my life points, my force field and light as a feather field.

“Crack, crack, crack, crack…” I Listen when I fall to the ground, what happened was that I roll over the bats, like I was a bulldozer. They had received the impact of my fall.

“Bat A Hp takes: -6 pts, -6 pts, -6 pts, -6 pts, of damage!” My Omnivaiz said.

“Force field-5!” This status bar blinks in my vision.

“Bat B Hp takes: -6 pts, -6 pts, -3 pts, of damage!” My Omnivaiz said.

“Force field-5!” This status bar blinks in my vision.

“Bat C Hp takes:-3 pts, -6 pts, -3 pts, of damage!” My Omnivaiz said.

“Force field-5!” This status bar blinks in my vision.

Seeing that my life was flashing red. I take 8 regeneration points and regenerate my life points.

The Bat were scattered on the ground, at this moment I could not worry about them, I saw the monster bat poking its head in this room. I get up, and pressed the swish on my flashlaser and I started pressing the red button like crazy:

“Pium pium pium pium pium pium pium pium pium pium pium pium pium!” The Flashlaser sounded, when shooting with them.

“Monster Bat Hp takes: -6 pts, -6 pts, -6 pts, -6 pts, -6 pts, -6 pts, -3 pts, -3 pts, -6 pts, -3 pts, of damage!” My Omnivaiz said.

The rays hit his face but there was no visible damage, which seemed to be bothering him more than anything else, so he stop his attempts to enter this side, He knocked on the door with his fists trying to knock the door down, but he couldn’t damage the door, I saw a malicious expression on his face, he opened its mouth and from it a light began to shine, more like a gathering of energy, I could only think of one thing:

“Mutant Cannon!” It’s an energy cannon shot, is a super attack where the final boss gathered his energy, in a single point and fired it.

As he couldn’t enter this side, he thought about vaporizing me. I thought he was surely thinking.

“… Shit!” Seeing this I shot the ceiling over this side, hoping I could knock this room down and stop his super attack.

“Pium pium pium pium pium pium!” The Flashlaser sounded

“Crack, crack, crack, crack…Boom” The ceiling sounded as it began to collapse.

I ran towards the exit, take one of the bats, thinking about not wasting food, the bat jumped into my hands and bit it, however, his interaction didn’t seem like he wanted to rip my arm off, although I doubt he could, so I ignored him and kept running to the exit

“HP 49 pts, 48 pts, 47 pts, HP 46 pts, 45 pts, 44 pts…!” My life was flashing red, since I was losing life point, the bat was sucking my life, I tried to peel i
