Lance soon understood. Ultimately, this creature wasn't a natural product but rather something cultivated through a mysterious ritual, imbued with Supernatural Power.
As long as the Heretics were alive, the Supernatural Power in their bodies would instinctively resist the damage from the Corpse Decomposition Spore, preventing the one-sided devastation seen when used on corpses.
However, Lance was now quite content. Indeed, Grendel was a treasure.
Strike while the iron is hot—Lance picked up the hatchet and, in a few swift moves, inflicted numerous wounds on the Heretic's body. These injuries wouldn't heal, bleeding incessantly and rapidly draining its last bit of Life Force.
After dealing with this threat, Lance finally turned his attention to the main battle. Boudica and the others were also entangled by the Heretics' bizarre abilities.
"Tadiff, catch!" Lance shouted, throwing the spore-coated hatchet toward him.
