Chapter 82

'This is the third time…' The first time I saw this happen was when I used Assess on the Tempest Wolf. Then, out of sheer shock, I unconsciously turned and used it on the ape only to be met by the same result for the second time. And now, such a thing happened for the third time as if foreshadowing that such incident would be now considered normal.

'If I remember correctly, it had worked just fine the last time…' At the end of my first encounter with the Underclaw, I was able to use Assess on the monster when it turned to run away. But just like what happened with the ape, the skill didn’t work when it was used on the Underclaw for the second time. Although considering all that had happened so far, I noticed one obvious similarity between all three.
