Asura growled at the sudden pain, the bladed limb bit hard. It seemed he was vulnerable to slashing attacks? That was odd but still he persisted. The skill up was interesting though, Blood Drain wasn't as useless as he thought it would be. But did it work with dead bodies? He'd have to test this after this little bout of training. [color=red][i]System, monitor Skill Growth. I'd appreciate knowing if any Skill increases from these actions.[/i][/color] He thought as Steve cracked him with a rock on webbing. Not a bad idea, a makeshift flail. But only good because the party was so small. [color=red]"Don't worry, Mother. This will maybe make me less...hurtable."[/color] He stated, trying to talk on her level. As Steve swung again he tightened himself up, why not work on Harden as well? He braced for impact while also cutting himself again. A pseudopod touched Mother Slime, better to show her. Like how he took Dire Rat bites and got Piercing Resistance which made him harder to damage with that form of attack. [color=red]"Ardur, if you have the energy can you give me a Heal when I ask? Bladed attacks seem to cause more damage."[/color] Asura said while the muscle pixie worked on making cordage for the Flak Beetle plating. Armor wasn't a bad idea, but he was a slime. All he could do was have Shells like the one he was sporting. He didn't want to test the skulls durability with the rock flail, he'd play with that later when he wasn't seemingly trying to get himself killed.
