Legendary Lungs (Story Event) is a story event in the Kingdom Death: Monster Core Game rule book.
Event Text[]
The sensation of the Butcher's attack is similar to drowning. Desperately, you gasp for air, only to be met with a mouthful of steel.
The monster's attacks rain down on you, each blow faster than the last. Despite the attack lasting only a moment, things seem to slow down. You feel numb and isolated, as if trapped in an endless body of water. There is no hope or escape, just the pressure from above on your gasping lungs.
As the pounding in your chest intensifies, you recall the even rhythm of the monster's heaving chest. There is a chance you will Learn something.
