บท 1703: Battle of Monsters (Part 1)

'The moment Orion gets the Marquis to safety I'm going to get rid of this dead weight.' Jirni thought while bleeding from several wounds.

The Scorpicore's acid from the Doppelganger's claws had melted her armor in multiple points, allowing the snake-headed tendrils that came out of the creature's wrists to bite her and inject their venom.

Jirni had no light fusion to remove the toxin nor darkness fusion to cut off her pain receptors. All she could do was grit her teeth and hope that her acquired resistance to the most deadly venoms was enough.

Without magic and against an enemy with no vitals or nerve clusters that she could attack, Jirni could only stall for time by relying on the basics.

As for Orion, now he was faring much better. The Mage Knight spells didn't affect the Marquis while they kept the Doppelganger at bay, nullifying their attacks before they could even come close to their target.
