Chapter 22: Earth Dragon (D-Rank)
"Did it discover us?"
Lucien mumbled, slowly backing away, ready to bolt if need be.
Although he had used 100 points of his Agility to awaken a skill, his speed was still more than enough. He could easily outrun these Glimmergnaws.
Like someone once said, if you’re being chased by a tiger, you don’t need to outrun the tiger, just your companion.
"Squeak, squeak..."
Just when Lucien was wondering what to do, he suddenly spotted the Glimmergnaw he had sent to scout earlier.
Only, contrary to his expectations, the rodent wasn’t scared or running for its life.
Instead, it looked extremely excited.
And Lucien didn’t even have to ask why, as evident from the glistening red ore shining in its tiny paw, which it was desperately trying to gnaw through.
"Infernium?"
As soon as Lucien saw the glistening red ore on the Glimmergnaw’s hand, he immediately recognized what it was.
