In less than half a second, the dismembered monster dissolved into a pool of blood, which began to coalesce along the dark red soil.
Sensing the danger, Astrid immediately threw a bottle of intermediate fire potion.
The scorching flames ignited the liquid, filling the air with the acrid smell of burning protein.
However, this method proved ineffective in stopping the monster's regeneration.
The blood began to reform, its body recovering at a visible rate.
The flames lasted only a few seconds before being extinguished by the encroaching darkness.
A heavy aura of death filled the already cramped underground space.
Through elemental vision, Elise observed that the monster's life force was drawn from the entire cavern, with the sarcoma on its back continuously feeding it.
Life and death, two opposing yet interdependent forces, circulated within its body, achieving a strange balance.
