Chrysalis

I skitter out of the way just before the ball of roiling flames detonates in a furious roar, scorching me on the back-zone rather badly. Despite sensing it coming, and despite using my empowered dash to basically teleport a hundred metres, I still got burned. That was one big kaboom.

Using the dextrous aim of my nozzle, I keep firing acid at Pyrixan to keep the pressure on her as I size up against Torrifex who looks like he’s positively boiling beneath his skin.

A steady stream of heavy-duty stone spears still zips through the air toward him, but he’s countered by enacting some variety of fire domain. As the spears draw closer to him, they twist, melt and warp, deflecting them from their path. He does occasionally get splattered with molten rock, but he doesn’t seem to care.

Might need to rethink the stone strategy.

No matter how you slice the pie, ants are the king, or more appropriately, queen of the insect kingdom. Other bugs, to ants, are just food. After all this time running around on the third and seeing the demons swarming as they have, they are seriously starting to feel like bugs to me.

Torrifex rushes towards me, his huge frame displacing so much air his appearance warps, four savagely clawed arms cutting down at once.

Four separate sets of slashes formed by his Skill slice through the air towards me. At the point they meet, I can feel an indomitable might, as if the power from all four slashes has been concentrated directly at that point.

Luckily, my antennae are on the job and I had an inkling this was coming a moment before it did.

As the cuts whip past me, they carve huge chunks out of the stone, digging a furrow as they travel, as if the rock wasn’t
