Lizarius spread his wings and swung them, sending eight wind slashes towards the tortoise corpse.
The wind slashes struck the tortoise's shell, kicking up dust. When the dust settled, Lizarius saw that the wind slashes had only left shallow cut marks on the shell.
Its defense is stronger than I thought, he mused, but all I have to do is strike it even harder. Releasing lightning from his horns, he sent a lightning strike towards the shell. It struck, leaving only a burned mark. I can't even break through its shell, even with a lightning strike? Lizarius thought, surprised.
He closed his mouth, and after a second, spat out his acidic saliva. It landed on the tortoise's shell, slowly corroding it. It works, but it's too slow.
This is going to take forever, he realized. There's only one attack I haven't tried yet.
Lizarius slowly walked closer to the tortoise corpse and opened his mouth, letting out a deafening roar.
The sound waves struck the tortoise's shell, and cracks began to appear. It's working! he thought as the cracks slowly spread, soon causing the shell to shatter into pieces, revealing the tortoise's flesh.
Lizarius stopped his roar and slowly approached the tortoise corpse, swinging his tail to knock off the remaining shell fragments.
I was starting to think I might not be able to get such a strong Gene. Its defense sure is strong, he thought, his yellow eyes glowing.
He opened his mouth, acidic saliva dripping from his fangs, and continued his thought, And that is why I'm going to use it well. Lizarius bit down and began to devour the tortoise flesh.
After a while, Lizarius stood beside the tortoise remains, licking the blood from his mouth. The system announced, "Gain 300 Evolution Points, 4 Earth Tortoise Genes."
