Kaden stared at the system notification as it ticked upward until it finally read:
[System is detoxifying poison: 100% detoxified…]
A second notification appeared:
[Host is now immune to the paralysis poison.]
Kaden clenched his fist, still lying on the ground. His body was normal again—he could feel the strength returning to his muscles—but he wasn't happy. How could he be? The sounds of the tier two beast were still too close, just behind him. Although he could now move, he remained perfectly still. If he stood up, the beast's attention would shift to him, and within seconds, he'd be nothing more than a meal. The only plan that came to mind was to lay still and wait. When the beast got close enough, he'd use the element of surprise to launch an attack. Maybe, just maybe, he'd find a way to escape.
Kaden's heartbeat thundered in his chest as the quenching sound grew nearer. The beast was within five meters now.
