Jack continued his journey up the mountain. All the while exterminating any monsters on the way. His pet, Therras, was by his side to share the exp. He didn't actively search for monsters to grind, though. He was here for a different reason.
He met the third type of monster which was also a draconic monster. It was called Spiked Wyrm. These wyrms were mostly special elite. Their elongated backs were covered by spikes that could be discharged. When they did, the spikes were shot all at once, hitting everything in the vicinity. Peniel informed that if one was hit, there was a chance to be afflicted by Bleed and Weakness status effects.
Jack activated Gold Scale Armor the first time the wyrm did the move. The second time, Jack had learned that the spikes had a telltale sign of vibrating before they were shot. So, he made himself scarce before the spikes were shot.
