Unknowingly what was occurring outside of the insect's body, Knuckles was being covered in this odd slime stuff that was different than the poison he had seen earlier, yea this was more like a saliva being used to break down foods. It then occurred to Knuckles that he had been eaten.
"Are you fucking serious! I became a fucking meal to this insect. He was beyond angry now, Knuckles already had advanced anger issues from his bloodline and also from being physically beat all his life by slavers, that kind of anger just stored up within Knuckles and would only come out when his life was in serious amounts of danger. A normal person in this sort of spot would likely be freaking out about the whole in their bodies, the blood that was being soaked up by his uniform, the fact he had to get ANOTHER uniform because of this shit, and that he was being eaten alive. However, to Knuckles, this was the biggest slap in his face since he was born into a slave trade. Like seriously who the hell brings a kid into the world while they are a slave!?
Knuckles had a main focus on getting out, fuck the pain it would still hurt later, and he literally held his guts in his arms before so this wasn't nearly as bad. Knuckles would start to look around but of course, there was nothing really to be seen, it was dark, and all he could feel was the walls of the insect's insides trying to crush his frame and slide him down the stomach. One good thing was that the amount of saliva that was being used to try and break Knuckles down had slowed the bleeding on his wounds which was giving him more time to find a way out. He also didn't have to worry about air, as every time the insect opened its mouth air would flow in, this allowed Knuckles to know he wasn't far enough down to be worried, but he was also far enough down that he only had a few minutes.
Even from within the beast Knuckles could feel the damn rumbles of the battle, the insect had been running around wild, it had even let out a screech. Either Taav had been hiding some super badass powers from Knuckles, or Knuckles might have doomed them all to death when he inflicted some major damage to the beast. That was one thing that he wondered, it the creature had so many parts of its body, which parts were needed and which weren't he had taken out about half or so and it was still rolling just as fast. For now, he needed to focus more on the task of getting out of here. He could try his roar but that wouldn't do much from in here, he doubted the lining of the stomach area he was traveling too would be so weak that his attacks would break through it. It was possible, but at the same time, it was a lot different brushing something from the outside than the inside. The organ could possibly flex with his punches while outer shells were just tough, but crushed under pressure, the guts however never really seemed to get squished.
Knuckles would start to feel around, there seemed to be nothing in here he could really use to help him get out. He then began to start moving further and further down, the walls were starting to cause pressure to his body like Ganbo was putting him in a bear hug. It was starting to hurt him, in fact, it was inflicting some D tier damage, as blood vessels were starting to burst and turn into bruises. As his blood started to slide down he would squirm and shift his body trying to break free, but all he was doing was increasing the speed in which he was sliding down into the pits. By this time the white-haired man outside was giving it his all and had managed to dazy the insect and start his jog. Eventually, Knuckles had reached the end of the line, as he felt a drop, his body would splash down into the pool of a green liquid, it was stomach acid, eventually, it would start to hurt and burn him, but it would take time to dissolve him to that point time that he was running out of, there was not so much air in the area as there was in the last part he was in. The Fanalis had to think fast, he notices there was a dismantled beast head near him, his eyes had adjusted a bit to the darkness, allowing him to see simple shapes and shadows.
As he gripped the head he ripped it off from the rest of the body, it seemed it had died shortly before Knuckles had entered the cave with Taavetti judging from how warm it was, and the fact it didn't smell like rotted meat. He needed a way to channel his power into this head without shattering the skull within it. He needed to horn to stab and cut through the trails, but his fist was to blunt they wouldn't generate the piercing damage he needed. This horn would work but he did need to strike with all his strength for it to happen however he knew he was too strong for that to happen. He'd close his eyes and put his hand inside on the head gripping it by the meaty part of its jaw.
"Come on, why did I not bring at least my damn sword! SOMETHING! FUCK THIS IM CLIMBING OUT THIS MOTHER FUCKER!" Knuckles would look and feel around for the entrance he came into.
He was a bit too short to reach it in full, and now his options were slim. Either he'd attempted to stab through this thing and destroy the only thing he could find to be used as a weapon or, he needed to find something to make him reach the entrance to this stomach. Then he just said screw it, he started to jump with full might, each jump was a section of failure until his head didn't hit some slimy cushion. Fighting his way through the hole he fell out of he began to crawl up with the head of the beast in hand. He held it with his screwed up left arm letting it just hand and he used his right arm and legs to push his body up, each motion with his limbs were coordinated, it was like crawling through a tunnel, but a tunnel that was crushing you, and fighting you every step of the way, at least now he was getting breath again.
On the outside the cave wave starting to give out more and more, one of the other pillars had given due to the lack of the support of the one Knux had broken, the boulders and rocks were slamming down into the bones, and other rocks at the bottom, the cave was filling with dirt and lifting into the air. Taav had just performed his last attack before this had happened. Things weren't looking good even if Knuckles had managed to get out, he might still die from the collapse of the cave. Even the Caravan travelers seemed to have heard and felt the cave starting to give. And through all of this the beast they were sent in here to find, had managed to escape out of the cave, as soon as the fighting started. IT was scared and ran back the other way.
Knuckles was looking like he was making great progress, however, it just wasn't working. His body was starting to slow down with the wound preventing him from going at his full scale.
"ENOUGH YOU DAMN BEAST, I HAVE MANY MORE SLAVERS TO KILLS! I will not die while there are others being forced to obey others... I refuse it you hear me!" It was then that his hands would begin to glow with a dark red energy, looking down he was confused but felt a rush of power in his fist. The energy started to even flow into the head of the beast causing it to glow with the same dark red aura. Knuckles began to chuckled before he'd plunged the horn into the wall and pulled upwards dragging the horn with a slice opening up the insect's second segment, and dropping Knuckles Of from under it. The beast began to screech in pain as it slammed into the ground severely injured but not dead yet.
It was much to Knuckles attain that he had slammed into the ground, and the beast was about 2 meters from him, it was bleeding, it was squirming and it was moving in ways that suggested it just had something slice through it from the inside. Knux would take a look around with his emerald green hues, shit was bad, they needed to get out but not before Knuckles would claim this insect lift for his own.
Standing to his feet, Knuckles would shuffle his feet at first, but still, his anger was fueling him to keep moving, he'd take a good deep breath in as he inhaled and assumed his A tier speeds, leave a dirt trail of dust in his wake as he moved, covering the 2 meter gap very quickly he appeared in form of the insect's head. Realising his breath in the form of his roar at point blank range, it was enough to make the insect flip over onto its bag and wiggle as if it was on fire. Knuckles would then take the glowing animal head and stab it's horn into the insects head over and over again for a total of ten times. Debry was still falling all around them, one boulder landed only 2 feet from his very own body which honestly made him realize he needed to go now. Looking over his right shoulder, Knuckle saw his friend, dropping the beast head he dashed over to him and swooped him up with his right arm placing him on his shoulder. He might not have liked these but things were too bad to argue at the time. The Rumbling of the cave had started to affect the other tunnel the insect had made and now they were all unstable, the final pillars had fell and with them, the cave's roof came slamming down at one now burying everything in the cave under 1000's of feet of rubble. Dirt would blow out from the entrance fo the Cave that the two men had entered, everyone from the Caravan thought they surely had died within its collapse.
Lucky for the two fighters, this was not the case, as the dust and dirt shot out the same entrance so did the red and white haired male, Knuckles body gave out on him with the constant struggle and the fatigue of using that new ability for the first time. The fanalis was to the right of the Human, he lifted his own hands to his own face and watched as the glow faded from them. It was surely an interesting thing to see occur, it was better to have it happen to him. He would have to find out what this power was called, perhaps Ganbo would Know. Either way, he was alive and extremely worn out from the fight, and clawing his way out of the insect. One thing was sure, he was never leaving his weapons again, he thought he had learned his lesson last time, but it was clear now that he needed them to at least cut his way out of something trying to eat him.
Where do you think we can find another one of those? He looked over to Taavetti before laughing, his anger had fled and with it, the pain was starting to set in.
