After that, Gideon began pulling the meat slime-covered scales out one by one. His body showed no serious reaction to the toxin.
Still, he eventually put on the Anti-Aberrant Toxin Protective Gear he bought from the Infinite Store. It was equipment designed to resist the corrosive slime longer than ordinary suits.
Even that gear could only last about five minutes before the material started melting.
Of course, he eventually had to stop. Freya kept yelling at him the entire time, and the final straw came when a drop of the slime nearly splashed onto her because she refused to stay back.
More importantly, another reason appeared right in front of his eyes.
A system notification.
[Because of prolonged exposure to the Verdant Devourer toxin, your body has adapted faster.]
[Passive Skill Acquired: Accelerated Adaptation]
[Your adaptation to toxins, poisons, and venoms produced by aberrants will speed up. Body regeneration increases by 20%. Immunity increases by 10%.]
