Getting hit by a Basilisk was not a good experience. Getting hit by a Basher Basilisk was even worse.
Clayton had never heard, or read about them before, but at the moment, he didn't really care if they were rare or not.
Not only did that horrid creature attack him, he was also pretty darn sure that he hadn't managed to kill it.
Based on his recent experiences, he was under the impression that when he attacked someone, or something, they were supposed to die. That was the simple law that Fleshmancy promised, as be it either by 'death cloud' or by the merciless, singular grip of the Demon's Kiss ability, anyone he attacked, was supposed to die.
By that principle, the Basher Basilisk was supposed to die as well, and yet it didn't, even after he used the Demon's Kiss ability on it, by a short second.
That single second of his attack should've been enough to drain the life out of the beast, and only leave its skeleton as a mark of its existence, and yet that was not the case.
