Chapter 302: Chapter 302: Taking Shelter, Swallowed

The acid rain began.

The two of them quickly retreated to the deepest part of the rock face’s recess.

Almost simultaneously, the rain outside suddenly intensified.

It went from a light drizzle to a torrential downpour in an instant!

The acrid-smelling rainwater poured down.

It slammed against the ground and rocks, making a SIZZLING sound of corrosion, and wisps of white smoke rose the next second.

The air quickly filled with a thick, suffocating smell, a mixture of sulfur and chemicals.

Simon Holt’s face was pale as he watched the world outside the recess become a blurry, dangerous place shrouded in acid rain.

His voice trembled. "What... what do we do?! We’re trapped here!"

Seraphina Sullivan gazed grimly at the sudden, torrential acid rain outside the rock wall.

Doubts filled her mind.

’This rain is too strange. How can the weather change so drastically? Has the ecosystem of this instance really deteriorated to this extent?’

’It wasn’t this volatile the past few days.’

Hearing this, as if struck by a terrifying possibility, Simon Holt’s voice continued to tremble. "N-No way, right? Boss Sullivan, you don’t think... this acid rain could have been caused by a monster, do you?"

Seraphina Sullivan turned to look at Simon Holt.

Simon Holt froze under her gaze.

"It couldn’t be...?" He swallowed hard, his face growing even paler.

"Nothing is impossible."

Seraphina Sullivan’s voice sent a chill straight to Simon Holt’s heart.

"Don’t forget, that aberrant toad that nearly killed you before could spray highly corrosive acid. If a single creature can do that, then it’s not so far-fetched to think that a more powerful creature, or a group of them, could influence the local weather and cause acid rain."

Simon Holt’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.

The painful memory of being corroded by the toad’s acid flooded his mind, making him even more terrified of this downpour.

"If... if it really was caused by some creature... how powerful would that creature have to be?! Can we really handle it?"

Seraphina Sullivan didn’t answer, instead focusing her attention once more on the holographic map in her mind.

Her gaze locked onto the marker for the radiation source that was closest to them and had the largest blip.

A hypothesis began to form.

’Perhaps this unusual acid rain is a phenomenon caused by that powerful radiation source directly affecting the environment, or maybe it was triggered by its guardian.’

Just as Seraphina Sullivan was lost in thought, Simon Holt, who had been staring intently at the curtain of rain, suddenly let out a suppressed gasp, his trembling finger pointing diagonally ahead:

"B-Boss Sullivan! Look over there! In the rain... something’s moving!"

Seraphina Sullivan immediately looked in the direction he was pointing.

Through the torrential, grayish-yellow curtain of rain, she could vaguely see some blurry black figures in the distance, darting through the acid rain at incredible speed. They moved with agility, seemingly completely unaffected!

"They... They’re not afraid of the acid rain?!" Simon Holt’s voice was filled with disbelief.

In an environment where even the rocks were smoking from corrosion, what kind of creature could move so freely?

Seraphina Sullivan immediately activated her [Analysis Glasses].

She adjusted the focus, piercing through the obstruction of the rain to lock onto the moving black shadows.

As her vision zoomed in and cleared, she finally got a good look at the creatures.

They were enormous lizards, their entire bodies covered in thick, black, keratinous scales!

Their limbs were thick and powerful, and they crawled and leaped between the streams formed by the acid rain and over the slick rocks as if on solid ground.

And they were extremely fast.
