And just as expected, the burning effect from the decay no longer affected him.
~So it was really just a type of poison?~ he thought to himself, before increasing his speed. He had been moving at a slightly slower pace so that his crux could have time to purge the path ahead. However, he wasn't limited by such things anymore.
By the time he caught up to Avankor, he found him fending off 30 dark figures. And as anyone would've expected, he was being mauled down, even with the protection of his mystic mantle.
Lucius quickly got to work, grabbing a few of them off of Avankor's back, whilst his tail thrashed back and forth knocking some of the others around.
Of course, his poison would've been a better option, but unfortunately, he had already used up all of it during his prior fight. And he hadn't advanced his poison skill to the level he could use the cloud multiple times a day.
"Avankor, keep going," Lucius ordered, the sound of the river now just a few meters ahead.
