In the end, I figured out why that tizhurek was running away. It wasn’t scared of me or anything. That was simply its programming, leading me to a trap where I wouldn’t be able to see all the others hiding in wait for me to tear me apart.
[You have killed 1 Shadow Tizhurek]
[You have received 30,000 experience points]
I had just used [Lethal Black Claw] on one tizhurek. The others screamed at me, releasing black clouds at me. With [Torrent], I prevented the cloud from touching me.
My resistance wasn’t high enough to protect me from the effects of the cloud yet. It was best to avoid getting hit entirely. I spun at a high speed, firing off my quills and activating [Feather Ignition] to create explosions, hopefully killing them at random. One of them managed to avoid my explosives and get in close to me.
I on the other hand didn’t stop my momentum and secreted poison from my body. I gave it a good old [Poison Maelstrom], coming out through it.
