Chapter 118: The Final Battle of the Power Struggle Begins

Chapter 118: The Final Battle of the Power Struggle Begins

The centipede invasion of Telecouch City begins.

As the centipedes pour out of the massive hole in the city streets, Kitipede emerges alongside them.

“Go, my centipedes!” Kitipede commands. “Take this city and annihilate all who stand before us!”

The centipedes immediately begin attacking people throughout the city regardless of whether they are human or demon.

Meanwhile, with Kurt and Keith.

Kurt and Keith sprint back toward the city as chaos unfolds ahead of them.

“We have to get Zeth here, and fast!” Kurt shouts.

“And avoid these centipede bastards in the process!” Keith adds.

A little bit later, back in the city.

Kurt and Keith enter Telecouch City and are immediately forced into combat. Centipedes swarm the streets, and while they aren’t particularly strong, their numbers slow the two heroes down.

“We don’t have time for this!” Kurt yells as he strikes one down.

“That’s the annoying centipedes for you!” Keith snaps, kicking another aside.

Eventually, they reach the hotel where the heroes have been staying.

“Let’s hurry,” Kurt says urgently. “We don’t have much time.”

They rush inside, slamming the entrance door open.

Centipedes are attacking people in the lobby. Kurt and Keith quickly engage, cutting down the creatures and saving the civilians.

“I don’t know who you are,” a human man says breathlessly, “but thanks for saving us!”

“No problem,” Kurt replies. “Just get into hiding before more show up!”

“Right!”

After receiving hurried thanks from both humans and demons, Kurt and Keith run up the stairs to the floor they’ve been staying on. The door to their room is wide open.

Inside, Emily, Sasha, and Joe are fighting off centipedes while trying to protect Zeth. Kurt and Keith immediately join the fight, helping eliminate the remaining attackers.

“Kurt! Keith!” Emily calls out.

“Did you get the Kraysheen?” Sasha asks urgently.

“We returned it to the pond where it usually is,” Kurt replies. “Now we just have to get Zeth there.”

Keith moves to the window and looks outside. “The problem is getting him there while protecting him from the centipedes.”

“I’ll take him there,” Sasha states without hesitation.

“Will you need any help?” Keith asks.

“No,” Sasha replies firmly. “It will only attract attention.”

Sasha lifts the unconscious Zeth onto her back, piggyback style.

Another deep rumble shakes the city. Outside, spiders begin invading as well, descending into the streets from above rather than from underground.

Keith looks out the window again, his expression darkening.

“Damn it,” he mutters. “The spiders are here too!”

“Then it’s only going to be that much harder to get Zeth through,” Joe says.

“We can do this,” Sasha says with determination. “Let’s go!”

“I guess I like your attitude,” Keith replies. His expression turns serious. “I’m going to hunt down that annoying queen spider.”

“By yourself?” Emily asks.

“Yes,” Keith answers. “I have a score to settle. If Sasha can handle things on her own, then you three should take on Kitipede.”

“We’ll give her everything we’ve got!” Joe declares.

They all leave the room, each heading toward their respective battles.

Keith makes his way to the roof of the hotel and steps to the edge, watching over the city below.

“Hey, Spay!!!” he screams. “Come and fight me to the death!!!!”

“I see you love me a whole lot,” Lady Spay’s voice replies smoothly. “Luckily for you, I’m already here.”

Keith spins around, instantly alert, and sees Lady Spay standing behind him.

“Good,” Keith says with a smirk. “Now that you’re here, I can end you.”

“I wanted information from you about Commander Moss,” Lady Spay replies. “But I see that is no longer necessary. I will now brutally kill you.”

Keith’s conflict reaches its final battle.
