From afar, with darkness everywhere, the new Digestor looked like a huge firefly. A sinister greenish-yellowish light pulsed from its abdomen at regular intervals. The light would then spread like a multitude of sparks through the venous network within the translucent body of the creature.
This was from afar and in the dark. When a huge, red lightning bolt suddenly struck a nearby tree in the woods, the flying creature suddenly came under the spotlight and for a brief moment revealed its terrifying appearance.
Jake gasped when he glimpsed its true form. What the hell was that ? Except for the firefly's bouncing abdomen, this horror was a mix between a giant pterosaur the size of a Boeing and an abomination from another world.
I saw several comments yesterday wondering why Jake was not much stronger than those soldiers.
I would like to point out that Jake had an excellent Ordeal rating (300 pts), but he was not trained at first. These soldiers had already known how to fight for a long time.
Without his 100-point bonus, Jake's rating was not so good, as he only survived the main mission by a few minutes.
Of course, I'm talking about their physical Aether stats, namely Strength, Agility, Constitution and Vitality.
