Saren thought in his mind 'appraisal menu'. While looking in the direction of the 3 siblings 3 light blue screens appeared above there heads focusing on one of them it brought the information to his screen in front of him. Two of the 3 began to fight one another while the other noticed Saren in the distance.
The sibling coming towards his direction read:
Name: ???
Status: wounded
Level: 15 (max)
Hp: 47/85
Mp: 30
Str: 12
Def: 14
Int: 7
Spd: 9
Points: ??
Skillset: Tough skin (LVL 1), Spacial senses (LVL 1), Acid spit (LVL 1) Water resistance (LVL 1).
Title: Swamp Siren, Evolution available, Carnivore, Bad Blood, Murderous intent.
( Okay so his stats are obviously higher because he's 3 levels higher. It doesn't show if he has any points for his abilities. Maybe if I level up my appraisal skill I'll be able to read more of the question marks in the statuses I see. He has only a few skills but there really good tho. I'm more worried about my skin melting or not being able to break his strong defense mixed in with that tough skin skill. And murderous intent!? This guy's not playing around. How am I gonna beat him? Everyone before him didn't use any skills besides me.)
The sibling started to make a gargling growl sound heading straight at Saren at full speed about 100 meters away.
( What do I do... Oh shit, oh shit. Wait I've got it.)
He quickly hit the help button on his screen. His siblings halfway to him.
[{ Help system} How can. I help you today? 🙂 ]
(What's with the smiley face.. focus idiot!!)
[ Can you tell me how to use my lower magic abilities listed in my status menu. Make it as simple and as short as possible. I'm in a dire emergency here.]
[{Help System} Of course. The condense emergency version won't be as powerful as the fully explained version do you want to proceed?]
[YES!!]
The sibling was 75 meters away from him. Now looking to attack with his hands first.
[{Help System} Imagine in your mind a small ball growing in the palm of your hand. Point it at your opponent stating Water ball. Which will fire toward the enemy in almost straight line? Practice will make this more accurate. The more Mana points you place into this spell the stronger it will become.]
[ Thanks H.S., you barely made it in time.]
His sibling was 25 meters away. Saren quickly imagined the water ball spell firing it. It was a total miss! Not even close.
(Fuck, I'm so screwed here he comes!!)
Sarens sibling lunged at him with his 5 digit webbed claws. Saren quickly dodged him while making a cut at the side of his lower abdomen.
( Nice I got him, I think.)
Making some space from his siblings. He looked to see if he did any physical damage and checking his health by using the 'appraisal menu' again.
( His Hp is at 44 now. I only did 3 damage... That's frustrating. This tough skin skill is kinda cheating to me. My health is still at 34. Let's try using this
magic water ball spell again but add a twist to it.)
Saren began to focus in his mind a water ball in his hand. Trying to shape it into a needle-like form. He realized in those few seconds of concentration the more complex the shape of the spell or level of magic it is the more Mana you have to pour into it. 1 mana creates the ball. 3 Mana can turn it into a needle-shaped form.
( Alright, here goes nothing!)
His siblings began to charge once again but at a slower speed than before. It seems as if he was learning from the prior attack.
Saren pointed the needle at his sibling stating water needle.
As the sibling was running towards Saren. He was hit on his left shoulder actually making a noticeable mark on his skin. His siblings were knock off his feet quickly getting back in a fighting stance but not moving for some reason.
(Nice!! Nailed it! {Appraisal Hp}.)
A red bar appeared above his sibling.
Looks like his health dropped some now he's at 41. I'm assuming the amount of mp I put into the spell also decides the amount of damage done. Maybe it'll give more damage if I level it up.)
The sibling started to make a regurgitating sound. Saren soon realized he was about to use his acid spit at him. His siblings had his mouth full of this acid spit and started charging at him. His sibling stopped about two feet in front of Saren. Spitting the acid at him at a high speed.
He barely manages to escape most of the attack. His left arm did get a few drops splash damage. Saren screeched in pain in his mind and clenching his razor-sharp teeth from this burning acid melting part of his rough skin.
Sarens screen popped up
(???) Adapt skill activated:
{New skill: pain resistance (LVL 1), Acid resistance (LVL 1) acquired.}
This battle went on for a few hours more. Saren seemed to have the upper hand alternating his magic spells and physical damage. Either from grappling or throwing.
Finally, his final blow was a needle shot to his sibling's eye doing critical damage.
Saren finally hit level 15, the maximum. He started eating his sibling that fought incredibly. Starting to gain Hp and Mp back slowly from eating. (It tasted awful, like grassy sewage meat)
The swamp suddenly became very quiet. Deathly quiet would be a better term for it. Saren didn't see where the rest of his siblings were but he was taking this time to strategize his next moves. So he climbed a nearby tree, making a sturdy nest in the branches and opened his menu.
A notification popped up on his screen.
