Even with his new [b][Faster][/b] skill, Jason found his pursuer still gaining on him, as the angry red mass surged after him, lightning streaking across it's membrane.  This raging flood of liquid Asura seemed to consume everything in it's path-- but for what reason? Perhaps to regain some stamina from eating like Jason had done with the dire rat the day before? Honestly, that wasn't a bad idea, but now he need to worry about a whole new problem; PROJECTILES!

Shards of bone whizzed through the air and struck the fleeing slime mage!   though Jason's defenses were relatively high and he had Physical Damage Resistance, he could still feel their pricks and cuts.  However, he couldn't let these minor scrapes slow him down as Jason did his best to ignore the pain.  But then, something unexpected  happened.

The next pebble Asura threw crackled with red energy, and when it hit Jason felt a sting not at all dissimilar from his own Stone Shot spell's first rank. It caused the green slime to falter, and the red slime got even closer...

With how intently focused Asura was on Jason, he could see that the green slime was panicking, deeply afraid for his life.  Like a Gazelle running from a predator.... And like any fleeing animal, Jason had an ace up his sleeve.

Popping a healing herb (not willing to chance himself dying), Jason used [b][Stone Shot II][/b] on himself to go faster once again, in his attempt to outrun Asura.
