Tiara's Prowess

Blaire returned from the depths of the lizard cave half an hour later. 

By then, Michael had finished creating a few flashbangs. They were not as potent as the ones created by the Alchemist Apprentice, but Michael didn't have any alchemy tools at hand, and it was his first time creating flashbangs using the materials of the Origin Expanse. Thus, he was quite satisfied with the result.

At least, they worked!

"The deeper you venture the more lizards we'll encounter. They're almost everywhere," Blaire began narrating her report.

"The number of lizards clustering together is still negligible but there are many small groups, and we won't be able to avoid them given our small group. Nobody can walk around as stealthily as I can. If we want to venture deeper and follow the arrow on the treasure map we'll have to fight our way through the lizards."

Michael listened intently, grimly nodding his head.

"Are all Lizards at the 2nd Tier?" He asked.
