"Daruun summoned you?!"
While the miasma in the air was thick, Jack still felt no effect from it. Apart from the uncomfortable feeling against Jack's skin, the hero felt no threat from the murky energy.
Then, Duorda burst into laughter. His skeletal mouth opened wide as guttural guffaws filled the chamber. "If Daruun summoned you, then I don't need to hold back!" Duorda grabbed the chainless shackle around his wrist and ripped it off, doing the same to his other arm after the first.
Jack was startled to see what was happening. Thanks to the scenario and his preconception, Jack had always assumed that Duorda was already lv. 89. Only after seeing Duorda reach for those shackles did Jack notice that Crypt Lord Duorda's level was still only lv. 85, at least until those shackles were removed. Now at lv. 89, Duorda's excitement-filled laughter left Jack feeling tense.
