164 Breaking the shell (11)

Aldrich, still encased in the two lights sensed the approaching danger and made a run for it to buy time. His ignition was not over, the inscription of the first symbol took time, it was not an instantaneous process.

Aldrich looked at his remaining orbs, one green orb and sixty four red orbs, he hid behind one of the stone pillars and upgraded intelligence to five as well reducing the red orbs to sixteen.

Aldrich sure as hell wasn't going to do nothing but wait, he chose to upgrade intelligence after spirit because it had the most to do with his mind. It was the fastest way to recover from the effects of [Psychic Lash].

This was the main reason why Aldrich got in so much trouble here, he wasn't able to fight like his usual self because of the two strikes of [Psychic Lash].

Of course it was very likely his circumstances wouldn't improve all that much but still, he may have been able to use the seal of Tindalor to escape who knows?
