Chrysalis

Chapter 1232

Despite my protestations, the slug is surprisingly manoeuvrable, slithering towards me with those burning orbs fixated on my position. Judging by the mana sense I’m getting, this isn’t some freshly spawned creature, but an actual monster from below who’s climbed up for some easy pickings.

Unfortunately, you aren’t going to find any here! Only death! Your death, specifically!

Yes, this creature absolutely has a core thrumming away within that slimy body, and I’m not especially sure how I’m going to get at it. I can only assume attempting to eat this thing is going to dissolve my body from the inside out.

While I’m busy wondering about how I’m going to consume it, the slug is busy attempting to ensure that never happens. The tendrils on its back, dozens and dozens of them, all thicken at the same time, and only my future sense allows me to react in time as they suddenly shoot a wide spray of sizzling acid at me.

Yikes!

I scramble backwards up the tunnel as fast as I can as the acid rains down, almost clipping the tip of my antennae. The moment it touches the ground, the thick slime begins to burn into the rock, and then, even more scarily, it begins to spread so quickly I can see it happen! In mere moments, the area I’d been standing in has been converted to a thick coat of steaming goop over which the slug effortlessly glides.

Not a fan!

How the heck did it take no damage from the fire attack? I need to study the opponent further! Still assuming that fire is a weakness of these creatures, I spin up multiple minds that begin hurling concentrated balls of flame at the creature. The spells streak through the air, crackling with potent heat, only to sink into the slug and dissipate with a rather limp puff sound.
