'Observe' Alan thought instantly as he quickly used his skill as he gazed at the shining yellow slime that was now slowly sliding down the wall and onto the gravelly ground.
[ Observe Skill has been used! ]
[ Analysing target. ]
[ Target has been successfully analysed. ]
[ Name: Slime ( Yellow Rose Mutation ) ]
[ Health Points: Infinite ]
[ Stamina Points: Infinite ]
[ Description: A green slime that has mutated into it's current state after continuous consumption of 'Screaming Yellow Rose'. The mutation is highly unstable. ]
'An unstable mutation? What does that even mean? Like is it just going to explode randomly?' Alan thought to himself in confusion as he slowly lifted his spear higher and slowly went into position as he started walking slowly towards the shining yellow monstrosity infront of him.
Thankfully because of the neon brightness of the slime, the black glass core at it's center was clearly visible, something that he had sometimes struggled to find whilst battling the dark crimson slimes especially before he had gotten his night vision goggles.
*Fsshh*
Thrusting his spear forwards, towards the yellow slime at as much speed as he could, Alan narrowed his eyes in pure concentration, he didn't know if these slimes would have some kind of special characteristic like the crimson slimes, but he expected it atleast and this he was waiting for any surprises.
And indeed, just as he had thought, the yellow slimes did have something special about them… just like their food, the slimes themselves screamed.
"Aaaahhhhh Saveee meee!" The slime screamed, its voice disturbingly human, disturbingly harrow and agonising sounding, and more importantly at such a loud volume and high pitch that it didnt take more than a few seconds before both of Alan's ears were bleeding, however he didn't stop, he couldn't stop the spear thrust now, or he knew that it would all be over, he wouldn't be able to aim and get in a good enough position again with this screaming going on, and he would end up inside the damned things belly, that much he was sure of.
*Shatter*
With the clear sound of glass shattering, the slime lost form instantly and then screaming stopped just as abruptly as the dark alost pitch black alley returned to almost absolute silence once more.
The only sound being heard was the deep breaths that Alan was taking aswell as the small plinking sound of the blood coming out of his ears dropping down in droplets to the ground.
'Fuck… fuck.' Alan thought as his body swayed side to side before he fell onto his ass, his entire equilibrum system was gone, it had been severely damaged alongside his ears and thus he had lost his footing completley, the spear falling to the ground next to the sickly yellow goo that was slowly but surely disintegrating into yellow particles of light that floated up in the air.
'Need… to get up and get out of here.' Alan thought as panic started creeping it's head up from the depths of his mind.
Putting his hands onto the ground, he tried lifting himself up, and he managed to… for a few split seconds before vertigo hit him as he fell down onto the ground once more.
Gritting his teeth hard enough that they almost cracked, Alan felt like releasing a scream of pure rage, and yet he couldn't even do that, he couldn't risk attracting anything else to his current position, not with how he currently was.
'It damaged my equilibrium system… in the ear… fuck… and I'm not even that close to a level up.' Alan thought to himself as he slowly crawled to one side of the alley and put his back against the wall as he closed his eyes for a brief moment before taking one long deep breath, holding it in for a few moments before releasing it out once more, as slowly as he could.
The process continued for almost an entire minute as he slowly but surely managed his own panic and cleared his mind, it was one of the most important things to do, panic was even more dangerous in these kinds of situations than the wound itself sometimes was. If he made a mistake, he could potentially just bring himself an even earlier death.
It was at that moment as he fully calmed himself down, that an Idea hit him, an Idea about using something that he had almost completely forgotten even existed, it was something that the system had offered him and yet he had considered it practically useless.
But now… now, it could be the most useful thing in his entire arsenal.
Snapping his eyes open, Alan didn't hesitate even for a single second as he opened the shop.
'System shop' He thought and instantly after, a blue holographic system screen appeared right before his eyes, floating there before him on thin air.
[ System Shop ] [ Level 2 ]
[ Equipment. ]
[ Items ]
[ Potions. ]
'God damned, potions.' Alan thought as he instantly thought of opening the potion category and the system, reading his thoughts instantly responded, if not even faster than he had voiced out his own thought inside his mind.
And there it was, the only potion that he actually needed, the only one that he now realised if it worked as he thought… would be extremely useful atleast in times like these.
[ Low Quality Potion of Healing ] [ Level 2 ] [ 10 Silver Coins ] [ Buy ]
[ Description : Heals 5% of the User's total Health pool ]
'Five percent of my total healthpool, if I take my entire body as one hundred percent, then my vital spots obviously are the ones that take the most percentages, with the brain and heart taking the most percentage compared to the rest… however the equilibrium system whilst extremely useful… it isn't vital… that should mean that…' Alan thought as he lifted his hand slowly and pressed the buy button with his index finger.
A single moment later, green motes of light appeared out of the holographic screen and started gathering in his hand.
