Bab 251: Rage

The marked scorpion was a resilient opponent that attacked without pause.

Arsinoe barely managed to evade the deadly blows, so packed with formidable strength, that the ground around her was dented and covered in pools of acid.

The creature's body was almost impossible to cut and with its stinger ever so close to piercing her skin, she couldn't afford to get hit, not even once.

So far she managed to evade its blows using her speed, but the creature was much faster than she was, and her [Water Blade] was less than effective against its hardened carapace.

Arsinoe knew she couldn't keep this up for long. Why did she rush over so recklessly?

Cygnus was bleeding from his injuries not far from her, and so was his protégé. Both of them were doing what little they could to assist her while evading the scorpions attacks.

Yet rather than focus all her attention on the fearsome scorpion, she kept glancing around, looking for a chance to escape.
