Reincarnated without a job, the vampire lady must show her true abilities.

Chapter 29: Adventurers' Graveyard

"Buzz!"

The next second, Luo Qixi felt dizzy, as if she were in mid-air. Before she could scream, her feet suddenly landed firmly on the ground.

She instinctively reached for her staff, but then remembered she'd left it where she was resting. Next, she instinctively reached for her map…

Then she immediately realized that she had put the map in her package!

And now the only thing she's holding is the bread in her hand!

Damn it, damn it, damn it!

Luo Qixi looked at the somewhat dim surroundings and awkwardly raised her hand.

Where is this place?

Were I teleported to a lower level?

Or...or the upper floors?

Where should I go...?

Just moments ago, Luo Qixi was full of confidence, but now she looked around as if she had lost her soul. She had lost her map, her staff, and no food... How long could she survive?

No...no...I can find a way out...no...

Luo Qixi took a few deep breaths to force herself to calm down...

And the teacher... the teacher will come, right?

Right...right?

Luo Qixi thought about how she looked before she left... Would the teacher really come?

The teacher had warned her... that she wouldn't come... and even if she did, how could she be found by the teacher while she was caught in a teleportation trap?

Luo Qixi leaned against the corner, her body trembling slightly. She couldn't even grip the staff tightly; all she could hold was the bread in her hand.

Stay calm... stay calm... I am a magician... a water saint... the monsters here are no match for me... as long as I find an exit... I can leave this place.

You might find yourself here again after walking a few steps.

Luo Qixi took a deep breath, forcing herself to muster her confidence, and then carefully began to explore forward.

Without her lantern, she could only see a short distance around her, and using fire magic inside the cave was extremely dangerous... She didn't have much magic power to waste at the moment.

Left with no other choice, she could only proceed in the dark... However... she didn't know if it was just her imagination, but she felt that she might have been here before... Yes, she might have been here before.

If you've been here before, you can find the main road you took before and follow it back to where you were.

That's right...

Luo Qixi smiled slightly; it seemed her luck was pretty good...

"Clatter".

Suddenly a soft sound came from ahead, and before Luo Qixi could react, a large hole suddenly appeared in the wall beside her.

A giant centipede poked its head out and looked at Luo Qixi.

"what!"

Seeing such a huge insect really startled Luo Qixi. She screamed and took a few steps back.

"Frost Strike!"

An ice spear was hurled and struck the centipede, but it didn't even leave a scratch.

Its carapace is extremely hard... We must attack its abdomen!

Although somewhat panicked, Loki was still an experienced adventurer, and she immediately realized the centipede's weakness.

But before she could retaliate again, the centipede suddenly charged towards Luo Qixi.

"Earthen wall!"

Luo Qixi quickly slapped the ground with one hand, creating a rock wall in front of her.

With this wall, things should be able to...

"Bang!"

The next second, the wall was smashed open by the centipede. Luo Qixi was amazed at her own idea, since it had just smashed through the wall to get out!

Luo Qixi quickly raised her right hand and aimed it at the wall next door: "Rock Cannon!"

After blasting a small hole, she quickly crawled inside, thus narrowly avoiding the centipede's mountain-like body that crashed into her.

Even so, she only narrowly missed the centipede's attack. Its slender body crawled past Luo Qixi, and seeing its body, which was as tall as her, Luo Qixi subconsciously trembled.

Is this... an opponent I can defeat?

No... It's impossible to defeat it with ordinary magic... I have to use holy magic.

Fortunately... Luo Qixi was incredibly grateful that the only Saint-level magic she had learned was the type that could be used in the labyrinth.

But can she unleash a Saint-level spell now? Without a staff... Lokishi made a slight estimate of her magic reserves.

If it's forced... it should be possible...

Looking at the centipede's body that had completely crawled past, Luo Qixi took a deep breath, raised her right hand, and rushed into the passage that the centipede had just opened up.

"May the great water spirit heed my plea, descend to my side, and transform into eternal, unyielding ice..."

For Saint-level magic, Loki couldn't shorten the incantation, so she chose to loudly recite the spell while simultaneously gathering magic power in front of her.

The immense magical power almost immediately attracted the centipede. Lokishi could hear it crawling rapidly towards her in the direction she was facing.

Come on then... come on!

Luo Qixi's singing became even louder.

"May Your grace descend, and let this eternal, unbreakable ice obey my command! Freeze! Accumulate! Transform into the sharpest ice spear!"

"coax!"

The earth trembled, growing louder as it approached; a rustling sound like thunder accompanied the approaching monster lurking in the darkness...

Let's see if your shell is harder... or my magic is harder!

An ice spear, imbued with all of Loki's current magic power, appeared before her hand and spun continuously, radiating a silver light.

He had to compress all his magic into it, making the ice harder... and the ice spear sharper!

"Go forth, in the name of the Water Spirit's Praise, and forever freeze the Ice Spear!"

"Buzz!"

The ice spear shot out from her palm, whistling through the corridor, and the immense recoil caused Loki to fall backward and land on her bottom.

The ice spear, with the force to pierce through thousands, slammed into the centipede's head.

"Bang!"

A sickening metallic clang rang out, followed by the shockwave from the collision, and then Luo Qixi heard a muffled sound.

"puff!"

The ice spear shattered the centipede's head, then passed straight through its body, eventually piercing its entire body.

Under Loki's trembling gaze, the centipede's enormous body came to a sudden stop, like a wave crashing against a rock.

"..."

"Pat...pat..."

A few seconds later, or perhaps a few minutes later... in any case, when Luo Qixi heard the sound again, it was the sound of blood being left on the centipede's body.

She did it... she did it... Luo Qixi wanted to shout out excitedly, but she couldn't even move an inch because she had no magic power at all, and her legs were in pain. Was she injured?

But thankfully... I managed to take it down, right?

All I need to do is rest for a few seconds... and I'll be able to get back to the campsite... I can do it, right?

Can……

"Pat...pat."

Luo Qixi's hopeful eyes widened suddenly as she saw something emerging from a hole in the wall not far away.

That was a centipede... a centipede that was much smaller than the giant centipede from before, but still about the length of a person.

And it wasn't just one... Luo Qixi saw one, two... three, countless centipedes crawling out of that cave.

They crawled straight toward the huge corpse.

Is it... is it the centipede's child?

Luo Qixi trembled as she tried to move, but found her limbs weak and she couldn't even raise her hands to chant the incantation.

What terrified her even more was that the centipedes didn't attack her immediately. Instead, they crawled straight to the corpse of the centipede and began to feast on the monster that was probably their mother.

That rustling, teeth-grinding sound rang in my ears; it was the sound only insects could make, a sound that sent chills down my spine no matter how many times I heard it.

That was the sound of a child eating while eating.

"Ah...ah..." Luo Qixi couldn't even let out a scream... She trembled all over and covered her ears, not wanting to hear that disgusting, terrifying sound.

But it was clearly futile...

"Clatter".

For some reason, a centipede seemed to notice Luo Qixi. It swayed its tentacles slightly and then pointed its head at Luo Qixi.

"No...don't come any closer...no..." Luo Qixi's voice escaped her lips like a murmur, then was shattered by the rustling crawling sound...

"Frost Strike! Frost... Frost Strike!"

But no matter how she chanted the incantation, her barely raised hand couldn't release any magic.

Finally, Luo Qixi sat on the ground, somewhat dazed, her expression stiff as she watched the centipede get closer and closer.

I feel like I'm going to die... like that giant centipede, to be eaten... scattered...

No...no...

Someone... someone please come and save me...
