Couldn't the author have remembered about her ability sooner? Seriously, this ordeal didn't have to make the characters look unnecessarily "weak", it was already stated that the Lizartaurs are actually the weak ones, they're like stronger zombies, their point is in numbers! And now that I think about it... It was actually kind of a smart move to give her this Blood Slavery thing.
@Darkmeep Actually useful, which is shocking and probably the whole community agrees with you.
