Outside of the Desolate Zone.
Marquess Darius crashed and rolled across the ground from being hurled out.
He stumbled until the momentum halted.
Swish!
Life energy surged across his entire body, coursing through every nook and cranny of his body—casting a subtle shimmer that made his skin glow. He was healing. Rapidly. Now that he was outside the dome, he could access his power again.
He pushed his body off the ground and stared ahead, his breath coming in heavy, ragged bursts.
"I can't believe we survived that…"
Against Immortal Slugs, the initial cast of the Desolate Zone was the most lethal.
Once the main body wrapped around the prey, it was basically game over.
External help is the only way for the prey to escape; other people who weren't latched onto by the initial burst were the only ones who could free the nobles. In this case—Rex, along with the other he led, was able to save him and the other nobles.
It was luck.
