Acid resistance

... South walked along a forest path deep into the woods, where no one ever goes. Branches snapped loudly under her heavy steps, and her armor clanked. The one she was searching for should have noticed her by now. But, as usual, only a strange wind rustled among the trees.
South stopped.
- Enough, come out.
- Exhausted already? - A confident, strong voice sounded from behind the trees.
A second later, North herself stepped into the light.
- We never really got along, - South began.
- True.
- But now we need to join forces.
- Of course.
North showed no emotion.
Silence hung for a minute. Then, South took a chain with a square pendant from her neck and held it out to North.
For another minute, no one moved.
Finally, North took the pendant, having first removed her own.
- Just remember, this is all a temporary measure, - North said sternly.
Without further words, South put on the pendant. North hesitated.
- Go on.
When the pendant touched her chest, a flood of information of terrifying power surged through both of them, causing them both to collapse to the ground, where they spent several minutes adjusting to the new sensations.
- It worked...Now people walked across the barrier even more cautiously; Ment's death had caused panic among the common folk, though the Overseer knew how to calm the crowd.
RiMpel2, unfortunately, had wandered away from the main gathering of people, deciding to take a shortcut through the warehouse; as soon as he entered the rusty gates, he immediately took a heavy fist to the jaw.
Dragneel had to light candles from his personal supplies; utter darkness reigned in his house, and the door refused to open.
An electric discharge struck the unsuspecting
ToX, knocking him unconscious for a time. He never got the chance to open the door to his house.
Someone suspicious was spotted near
Xostor's house.
Nothing foreshadowed a bad day, and
Loreley was sleeping peacefully on the sofa near his house; however, he was awakened by an uninvited guest, who, however, vanished immediately.
Amko habitually gathered his things and left the house. It was a little over fifteen minutes' walk to Morning's house, and he wondered if he was doing the right thing, perhaps he should have been a bit harsher? Mmmm... Finally, he reached his destination, jumped over a small iron fence, and walked along the path to the house. With such heavy steps, it was difficult to remain unnoticed, but he did everything he could. A tight thread stretched to its limit, and coarse explosives attached to the wall began to beep. Amko was thrown by the explosion and slammed against a tree. He tried to jump up, but fragments of the wall collapsed on top of him. A scream of pain rang out, gradually fading into a moan. A large deck of burning cards, tossed into the air by the explosion, slowly drifted down to the ground.
A man stood alone on a small hill, gazing into the distance. Hearing a barely perceptible noise, he turned sharply. Just in time, as the stranger was already pulling the trigger of his rifle all the way back. Bullets flew from the barrel with a quiet clicking sound until the magazine was empty. Below, the cries of people who sensed something was wrong could be heard. The attacker had no choice but to run.
Драккошка ran with all her might; the pursuer did not fall behind, but did not show herself. It seemed she was playing with her. Finally, there was no strength left to run, and Драккошка leaned against the nearest tree, breathing heavily. She appeared for just a second, flashing past and leaving a deep gash on her victim's shoulder. Драккошка screamed in pain and pressed her other hand to the wound, trying to stop the bleeding somehow. The unknown figure had already vanished, and now there was nothing to fear.
Somewhere nearby, heavy, wheezing breath was heard. A black hand grabbed Драккошка by the neck and pressed her against the tree. She tried to scream, but only a stifled wheeze escaped her throat. Empty pressed a black pistol to her forehead. At that moment, she thought she had made a huge mistake by leaving her only, however meager, means of defense at home. A series of loud shots rang out.
