I personally have known three different Basilisks”, she listed as she tried to recall the different Ascendants she’d met. “I thought if one existed, another Ascendant of the same kind co

The Lightning Phoenix kept charging forward, its figure nothing but a blur. Its hasty advance was partly fueled by the fact that it had been delayed by the Lightning Snake.

Despite his bleeding shoulder, Dio pulled the daggers from his back. “Stay here and don’t move.” The lady nodded as she watched Dio ran towards the basilisk and moved to a fighting stance.

“Yes. We don’t understand why it’s having an even more pronounced effect than normal, but we know it’s a form of basilisk poison. It’s already absorbed entirely into the chieftain’s body, and it’s so potent that if we stop for even a moment, we think it might kill him outright. We can’t stop, madam.
