Chapter 49: The Bloodspitter
Aldrich and Fler'Gan stepped up to the precipice of a ledge leading down into a large nest scattered with blackened scorch shell shards lay strewn about everywhere - the re in their path together
Theyin other circu, well, they were best friends
"Good to see you, master!" said Valera as she raised her cross shi+eld as Stella hunkered down behind her
A er lizard, almost twice the size of the other ones, hissed at Valera
It did not have the blurring cae effect on its scales, and indeed, it seemed that its scales were meant to be shown off They were spiked and oriented in thick plates like ar horns jutted out from the sides of its head
The lizard's yellow eyes turned bright red before firing off a twin streaainst Valera's shi+eld with a crashi+ng iround The blood crashed and splattered behind her, and anywhere the blood touched, it ate away at, round with ease
Aldrich did not knohat the variant was
Because Blackwater thoroughly neglected the Dud students, Aldrich had no access to classified AA information about variants The h the Net, but stronger and rarer ones like this - nothing
"Can I get some help here!" said Stella "Squid face!?"
"Shall I?" said Fler'Gan
"Go ahead" Aldrich nodded
Fler'Gan floated in the air and clasped his hands together "I suppose you young ones do require the assistance of a true , but she heard Fler'Gan's words and stopped

The lizard just sat there as the flae
"Hm" Aldrich noted this development with interest He saw that the lizard's spiked scales were distorting, and not just because of the heat waves fro to nullify the da's a Bloodspitter Lizard!" said Stella "Its hide's resistant to practically any daotta hurt it internally!"
"You tell me this now!?" said Fler'Gan
"Well, I kinda wanted to see you makin' a fool of yourself after actin' all cocky" Stella srew serious "But yeah, now that you know, go ahead and toast this thing fros are practically indestructible, but they're slow, and they need to breathe
Burn up the air here and cook this thing out!"
"A surprisingly apt strategy co from one such as yourself" Fler'Gan prepared to cast [Flaenerate flaen
"Wait" Aldrich raised his hand "I'll do it myself"
Aldrich jumped up and landed behind Valera
"Give me some protection," said Aldrich
"Understood, master!" Valera stood firmly in front of Aldrich with her shi+eld up
"One last thing I wanted to test out," said Aldrich He took out his lantern and flashed its eerie red light at the lizard He did not fully open the eye of the lantern for its disintegration effect Instead, he just kept the foggy passive light on the lizard
The lizard cocked its head and blinked its eyes, wondering what the light was supposed to do
Unless Aldrich opened the eye held within the lantern, it did not do dae It just stacked the [Eye of the Watcher] passive Three seconds of exposure under the light for one stack of the passive, with the stacks applying up to ten times
Each stack reduced resistances to curse type daic that Aldrich knew that fell under curse type dae that he was very curious about
Instant death rowled, still a little confused as to why nobody was reaching out to attack it
After five seconds, it grew iain froain while Aldrich actually moved out of the shi+eld and strafed to the side, content in knowing that the lizard had distracted itself firing its initial blast at Valera
He lost his cover against the blood, but this allowed hiht continually on the lizard without Valera's shi+eld and the splashi+ng of blood to obscure hinored Aldrich and just kept its blood spray on Valera and Stella, obviously registering them as far ht on the lizard He had expected to dodge the blood or an attack or anything hostile, but the lizard simply did not care about hinored him
"It appears the creatures of this neorld do not understand the concept of debuffs," noted Fler'Gan
"Or this variant is simply stupid Most likely, a coardless, it's tiin my instant death experi the [Eye of the Watcher] debuff on the bloodspitter lizard fully
A shi+ that it was fully debuffed, its resistance to instant death neutralized incredibly low
