The Scarlet Flame Scorpion spewed out a stream of molten venom from its stinger, trying to attack Adrian from a distance. He could only dodge awkwardly, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Luckily, he was still a bit of a distance away and had enough time to dodge. He retreated even further, wary of the scorpion launching another attack.
Perhaps due to the heat of the battle, he had forgotten that the Scarlet Flame Scorpions were capable of launching attacks like that. Well, he couldn't be blamed.
The previous scorpions he had fought were not even given the chance to launch such an attack, making him underestimate them. Even after receiving all the knowledge from the Sage of Slaughter's inheritance, his mind could not keep up.
In order for all the knowledge not to overwhelm him and make him lose his mind, most of the knowledge had to be stored inside his sea of consciousness, sealed away until he accessed it when he needed it.
