Ludwig felt embarrassed. Of course, the undead in front of him was afraid of the fire, but in this terrain, where the humidity was almost palpable, flames weren't nearly as effective as they should be. The waterlogged environment was more of an ally to the crocodile than any of its tentacles or jaws. Fire spluttered and hissed, doing little more than scaring the beast temporarily.
The crocodile wasn't going to leave its hiding place as long as Ludwig was using fire, and if Ludwig tried anything else it would be able to shrug it off.
Quite the opponent,' Ludwig muttered to himself, pacing cautiously at the edge of the murky lake. It was rare for him to encounter something that not only countered his abilities so effectively but also seemed to enjoy taunting him with its patience.
