"Really? I don't think it'll be a problem for me."
Gideon sounded unconcerned. After all, he was nearly level forty now. He had defeated the Verdant Devourer when he was somewhere around level twenty or thirty. Compared to back then, he was significantly stronger.
Elaine immediately shook her head. "That thing is different, Gideon. It's not actually that strong, you know? Its direct combat ability is only around D-rank."
She placed both hands on the table as she spoke. "The real problem is the pappus and the seeds that scatter after the aberrant is killed. Imagine someone pouring oil over an entire neighborhood and then tossing in a single spark. The fire would spread everywhere before anyone could stop it."
"So we just need to get rid of the pappus?" Gideon asked. "That's the fluffy part that scatters when you blow on a dandelion, right?"
He honestly didn't see the problem. Unless the pappus was somehow resistant to destruction, it didn't sound particularly threatening.
