บท 66: Slickthieves

Whatever this thing was, Cedric was certain that it was a parasite...

Focusing his senses on it, he noticed that the thing was attached to Erica and was siphoning something off of her.

This is the part where the skill 『Demon Lore』 reveals its brilliance. Because it gives Cedric unrestricted access to Acala's Book of Demons, and through that, he learns about everything he needs to know about this thing...

"It's a 'Slickthief' - a type of demonic parasite that devours longevity from their host." Cedric commented.

"They discharge fluids that cause insomnia and lethargy to their host, they also evolved in a way that made them almost impervious to sensing abilities, allowing them to feed freely on the people they're attached to. The downside is that their siphoning strength was slow and it would take them a long time before they completely drain their chosen hosts." Arishem added, looking extremely solemn.
