"No… not just my kind. The great elder said this acid is potent enough to even harm the empress…"
Words died in Aaron's throat. The doubts, the mockery, everything.
Sure, the words of a mere great elder of a single mushfolk tribe weren't to be trusted.
But… this was the woman who surprised him with her intelligence and brains.
In addition, she wasn't just any elder, she was the elder of the VENOM tribe.
Even their name dabbled in toxins and poisons.
Surely her words had to be somewhat true… right?
Regardless if this poison was really capable of harming the empress or not, Aaron believed it wasn't completely a sham.
But after learning about the potency of this black sludge, Aaron quickly removed his blade from the monster's heart.
The results both surprised and pained him.
In just a few moments of contact, the acid had caused his blade to dull out, chipping at several places while the tip appeared to be dissolved.
