Chapter 487: Field Test (2)

My daggers sunk deep into the black scaled Lizardmen that prowled along the magma's edge, their hodgepodge gear of various metals, bones, and hides doing little to protect them from a pinpoint precise stab, the ice coated blade of Shatter cutting cleanly through their scales and tearing into the flesh beneath.
