"Uh? Oh, okay… let me rephrase what I said. I mean, you'll have to be the one going into its mouth. And then explode its skulls. Or whatever it has in replacement for skulls."
Marcel was still smiling like a damn fool even after I said that. By all means, I should be the one going into the worm's mouth. I knew I was the better choice. His ability would help him dismantle the creature's head somehow, I was sure, but at the same time I had something that could bring the same result, coupled with the fact that the worm had been ignoring me this whole time.
It was as if Marcel was the only one on this battlefield. Even though my strikes had been far from negligible, the worm rarely stayed on me. It kept pursuing Marcel. Of course, Marcel was giving it more hell than I was, which made it easy to overlook the pattern.
Absence, my main class ability, made it so that I couldn't be a locked-down target. Attacks always had a higher chance of missing me.
