At Annelise Locke's behest, the venomous snake in Flora Bloom's hand bit down on her wrist. At the same time, Flora picked out two Second-level Zombie Crystal Cores and placed them in Annelise's palm.
Flora Bloom didn't know if this snake's venom was the kind Annelise needed. She'd heard that a Serpent Woman's evolution required absorbing venom from different types of snakes. If it was from a type she'd already absorbed, it would have no effect.
The fang marks on Annelise Locke's arm vanished in an instant. Beneath the skin, however, the dark venom spread outward like two blots of ink blooming on paper.
Annelise Locke endured the feeling of her body being torn apart, her back arching into a grotesque curve.
The horrifying sound of bones cracking and resetting—CRACK, SNAP, POP—filled the air, making the five onlookers' ears ache.
"Flora, is she... really going to be okay?"
