One had to know that the roots could dive underwater and could even digest flesh, acting as a 'stomach', which means the roots also had its own acid effect and so on.
But who would have known that now, a stronger acid liquid that could corrode its roots finally appeared.
The roots of this water lily broke down under the attack of the black blood but before the water lily could use its race's unique healing and regeneration ability, another attack came.
Plants were indeed associated with healing, regeneration, and so on, but their healing ability was also limited to their racial advantage and not a real healing ability awakened as a special ability.
Most often, a racial advantage was not as strong as an awakened ability, unless that race was a high-level race such as the celestials.
The water lily's injuries had not even healed when Ainsley had already thrown another attack on this little overlord.
