firstly they've eaten bats for a lot longer than covid was a relevant concern. secondly eating a bat is no different from eating a cow, goat, salmon, or any other animal when prepared properly, but just like any of the other animals I just listed improper handling can cause disease, infections, and other health issues. it is the preparation and preservation of food that is important not that it was a bat. even considering that the original comment regardless of truth (which it more than likely isn't) is still racist as the second comment stated.

a presumably level 7 thief only gives 64xp as a level 3 who needs 2700xp even if monsters give twice as much xp as humans thats still not even 5% for punching up more than twice your level and the cost of leveling is only going to get exponentially higher. long story short even if thats true leveling for anyone that doesn't have an army to do the work for them would take weeks early on months later and years eventually just for a single level.

what fourth cursed seal are you talking about? do you mean the thing under the cursed seal because thats not been explained yet, but I'm fairly certain its not another cursed seal

stupid. darkness exists both in the past and present whether you mean it in the physical absence of light sense or the darkness as in the evil in the hearts people. moreso its more likely than not with manipulation abilities that control the elements there is likely someone who can manipulate darkness in a physical sense so it would be felt as well

oh she totally can and possibly will, but my original comment is just to state her first learned skill was lacerate not golems as was stated in the chapter

second youngest*

he is at least the second or middle of the pack, but given Tessa and lotus are said to be childhood friends I'm pretty sure the only one competing for youngest with karl is Dana. we know Tessa was noted as having plenty of experience on missions when Karl and Dana were on their way home from their first and "Bear" is literally a senior so neither of them are even in the running for youngest.

actually yes you can make a sound similar to a clap with only one hand (and no you don't smack it against another part of your body nor is it the sign language variant of clapping. you just open your hand then with a quick motion slap your four fingers into your palm)

yeah its 254

chapter 254 comes before this one

2 things. 1 if you actually read my first comment you'd know that as of the time it became relevant he is ascended meaning he'd need to kill a dormant devil, tyrant, terror, or titan to get a single fragment and anything lesser would get him nothing. so whith that in mind lets recount all the known dormant devils or higher in the book so far no.1 the tyrant in sunny's first nightmare and no.2 the terror in nephis's first nightmare. this is a trend we see with the higher ranks as well though not so drastically many beasts, lots of monsters, a good bit of demons, some devils, a couple of tyrants. very few terrors, and maybe a tyrant. as for the second point the cores pretty much mean nothing as sunny as an ascended tyrant still struggles against normal ascended humans at times -super minor spoiler- that didn't change when he became a terror and likely won't change at titan -super minor spoiler ended- the three major factors for his power have always been his rank, abilities, and skill the cores only real uses are the additional shadow and a place to store one of his Shadowspawn (which we don't even actually know if that is how that works as sunny never tested it).

Charybdis- the ancient greek sea monster. it was known to a great and truly massive beast that would consume ships and their crew by opening its massive maw to create a whirlpool. it was told to work in tandem with scylla whose many heads were said to strike from above on the nearby cliffs

with the sentence mostly using words that indicate a singular focus I'd wager the original post has it right, but if it was set up with more plural words adding the s to the end of mind would be better

yeah cause everyone knows how easy it is to reach the ocean floor thats why even in modern times you need very specialized equipment to go even a few hundred meters down... ya know because its super simple.

more like because he was never a compassionate person to begin with

that is not bullying that is called racketeering

there are a total of 5 responses actually. there are five Fs for fear responses, but they all boil down to fighting, fleeing, freezing, fawning (complying), and flopping (full mental or physical shutdown)

seriously. they literally pulled him out of a charnel house of hellion and higher level monsters and the common preconceptions of rifts is that all monsters will work together to fight for the guardian so based on what they know he killed his way through all of those monsters as a walker and now he's a full drifter.

definitely the most important information north has received in his (admittedly short) time as walker/drifter as this means he can pick up more non-combat talents without the need to sacrifice his survivability nor does he need to worry about investing in a talent and having to swap it out later because he's out of slots as long as he makes it to the next level all his investments become permanent.

that is entirely incorrect Rae's first learned skill was lacerate which she learned from a 3rd or 4th year warrior. there is a chance the tree golems aren't even her second skill as it was never confirmed whether or not she learned bleed from the druid or if she failed to learn it fast enough.
