Chapter 211: Chapter 211: Acid proof

Michael immediately signaled Fudge to move in closer to the ailing adventurer. An unsuspecting shadow slithered through the ground without arousing any suspicion, which was easy because everyone's attention was on the adventurer lying helplessly on the grass. "Woah, what happened to him?" "Another impatient bastard bites the dust…that's why I said we shouldn't go in before the Knights arrive." "Are you kidding? By the time they arrive, they'll have scooped up any treasure in the tomb!" The adventurers got too caught up in their squabble, which allowed Fudge to inhabit the shadow of the fallen man. "How is it?" Michael asked Fudge. A small bit of the slime's head peeked back up from Michael's shadow, shaking its head. Michael was going to try and help the unfortunate guy, but he was too late. The man had already used up the last of his remaining Life mana to warn the other adventurers of the dangers in the discovered tomb. "Clear out, everybody. Give the man some space." A commanding voice from a bald man wearing bulky red armor carved through the nosy adventurers. Now, as a group of rebels, it was in their nature to never take commands from other people. But as they were about to yell at the guy for saying such audacious words, they realized the insignia born on his right chestplate. HammerStone company. The unruly adventurers ended up backing down in front of the twenty - something fighters from the 495th - ranked HammerStone company. They knew they were outclassed just from the clean CLINK sound of their armor alone. "Do we know what happened to him?" asked the bald man, clearly the leader of the whole group. "His legs are in terrible shape. It's a miracle he was able to even get out of the tomb." Michael couldn't hold in his curiosity any longer. He turned his entire body into a shadow and glided through the backs of unsuspecting adventurers until he reached a large tree overlooking the whole situation below. Coincidentally, the best view he could get of the whole situation was by hanging onto a branch on the tree directly above the adventurers. I owe the Shadow Orcs an apology. This is actually quite a stealthy way to eavesdrop on someone. Michael looked down at the corpse below, expecting to see only Dark mana permeating the body. But, instead, he also saw large chunks of Poison mana on it, specifically the legs. Poison…ChatJK3, can you find out the cause of death?
