3 Who ate Who?

Elizabeth was currently looking around the forest with her slime body, She can turn her sighed anywhere from her body. Heck, even she didn't know where the front or the back of her body was. She looked carefully in the bushes waiting for the predator that wants to eat her.

'Where the hell is that bastard' Elizabeth thought to herself while still looking around her surroundings. She was preparing for the ambush but how the hell would she fight the Enemy. She doesn't know the size or what kind of species her enemy came from, It was just hiding waiting for the right moment to attack her.

Elizabeth's current size was the same size as the basketball which means she was very small, The only thing she could think was that the enemy was in the same size as her due to the reason that it has not been one day when the world was born.

As she was looking around her surroundings, One of the bushes moves very fast and was charging towards her. Elizabeth notices the attacker almost quickly when she charged through the bushes which made Elizabeth dodge chance much greater.

Elizabeth moves her slime body away from the position where the enemy charge towards her, The slime body was literally rolling very fast because this was the only trick Elizabeth has which was rolling like a ball.

'Who the hell are you?' Elizabeth thought to herself as she stared at the position where her enemy charges towards her, As she stared at the position she finally saw who the enemy was.

It was a young crocodile, It was 1 and 1/2 bigger than Elizabeth. Elizabeth was shocked at seeing the crocodile and began planning how to kill it and possibly extract its gene and biomass.

The Crocodile turns its head and looked at Elizabeth right at her nonexistent face. This young crocodile must be very angry since it left its own habitat, Elizabeth also was very curious if there was a body of water near her position.

The Crocodile then turns its body preparing for another charge to Elizabeth until the young crocodile finally eats her. She needs a plan that would give her victory and the only plan she had was a good plan for her.

'I need to roll around this area and avoid the charging young crocodile, While rolling around the area I would pick up falling leaves along the way and devour them. This will give my biomass which could upgrade my attributes.' This was the plan Elizabeth made since all the young crocodile knew was charging.

The young crocodile was finished readying itself to charge towards Elizabeth, It then began charging at a fast speed towards Elizabeth while Elizabeth began rolling away from her current position. She then began to head towards an area where there is full of leaves.

She rolled towards the area and roll through it picking up the fallen leaves along the way. The leaves were trapped inside Elizabeth and the Devour skill began activating itself, While rolling around the area. Elizabeth finally heard the notification about the leaves.

[Do you want to Devour (Leaves64x)]

'Yes' Elizabeth said yes through her mind, The Leaves that were stored in her stomach or body have begun turning into energy or biomass for her. It will take a long time for the process to be finished so all Elizabeth had to do was take more leaves again.

[Devouring (Leaves64x).....]

She then started Rolling trying to find another patch of an area that is full of fallen leaves. She stopped right in front of a tree and looked at it, She just realizes how small she was but when Elizabeth turned around she saw the Young crocodile heading towards her.

She began rolling away from her position while the crocodile who charge towards her position didn't expect to see something stopping the crocodile's way which made the crocodile crash onto the tree.

Elizabeth saw the Young crocodile which was struggling to stand up, She was in another area that was full of fallen leaves so she began storing it inside her body. While storing the next set of leaves inside her body she finally heard the notifications about the first 64 leaves.

[(Leaves64x) Has been devoured]

[You have gained: 0.064 Biomass]

[You have gained: Plant Gene x64]

When Elizabeth heard the notifications, She quickly put all of the biomass she got to the Attribute called Vitality. This would probably strengthen her weak body, Although she didn't have a core which was the weakness of the monsters in this body type. Elizabeth was very weak against blunt attacks which is why she avoided the charging Crocodile.

She felt a warm feeling again which made her feel refreshed for some reason, She saw that her dark slime body was slowly hardening itself. There was a possibility that her slime form would gain an ability that would be similar to a liquid metal.

[Do you want to Devour (Leaves88x)]

'Yes' The second batch of leaves were now ready to be devoured, She looked around the area and found the Young crocodile finally standing up. It seems that the young crocodile has no plan to back down and neither Elizabeth had a plan to back down.

These two were animals fighting each other on who would be the food between the two, Running isn't an option and the strong prey the weak is the rule of the jungle.

[Devouring (Leaves88x).....]

The two were in a standoff looking at each other, preparing for the attacks. These many leaves are enough and all she had to do is avoid the crocodile. Elizabeth has a gut feeling that if one of her attributes surpasses the 0.100, there would be something surprising that would surprise her.

The Crocodile seeing Elizabeth not moving thought that she was a coward so the crocodile charges towards her first. Seeing the crocodile, Elizabeth began rolling out of her position but the surprising thing is that the Crocodile was following her.

'It adapted?' Elizabeth was surprised that the young crocodile adapted, It means that the animals in this world aren't normal or maybe some would gain intelligence to use their brain and adapt to anything that is disadvantageous to them.

Elizabeth didn't stop rolling while the young crocodile followed her at the right speed. The two of them were rolling or crawling at a fast speed(In their view), The crocodile was slowly nearing her in a slow but sure manner.

'Tsk.." Elizabeth clicked her imaginary tongue, She tried to drift or turn around at a fast speed. The young crocodile was caught off guard and tried to stop. It then quickly turn and charge at Elizabeth, Although the crocodile was still following her Elizabeth still thought that the turn was successful since she manages to buy time.

[(Leaves88x) Has been devoured] And after a long time of wait, she finally got the notification she was waiting for.

[You have gained: 0.088 Biomass]

[You have gained: Plant Gene x88]

She then looked at her interface very quickly and chose the Vitality stat. The Vitality stat she got was finally over 0.100 and she felt a lot of power coming from her slime body. Elizabeth then notices another notification she got and looked at it with interest.

[You have managed to have a Vitality over 0.100, You will be given the skill called Hardened. Do you want to check its description?]

'Yes' Elizabeth thought to herself, She needs to know the skill's description so that she could utilize the skill efficiently.

[Hardened: This skill would give the user the power to harden himself, This skill can be utilized in many ways and the Hardened would freeze the cells so that it won't even be affected by time itself.]

'This skill is very useful, This would help me in taking out enemies via charge in the front. I would eat a part of their body and hardened myself to make me very hard to get off from my enemies body.' Elizabeth thought to herself.

'And If I used this skill, I wouldn't age and my cells would stop replicating and stopped dying due to it being unaffected by time.' Elizabeth also realizes that she could hardened herself and hide for a century. Her skill would automatically be deactivated which would free her from hardened and she would be like someone who time-traveled to the future.

'It is time for me to strike back.' Elizabeth did an Imaginary smirked, Her slime body was still rolling around the area until it stopped. Seeing the slime body stopped, The Crocodile stop crawling towards it since it was very suspicious.

The Crocodile stared at the Slime body and saw that it was currently moving towards the crocodile. Seeing this the crocodile was very surprised on why this bastard started charging towards him.

The Young Crocodile had a feeling that this bastard is hiding something so the crocodile tried to avoid the slime ball that was charging towards it. But in the end, The crocodile failed and the slime ball finally hits the crocodile.

The slime ball turn into liquid and the half body of the crocodile was inside the slime ball, The slime ball was absorbing the haft that didn't enter it and the hardened skill started. The ball froze into something solid and the Crocodile that was inside it was a trap.

'Devour' Elizabeth thought to herself, The plan worked and all she had to do was wait for the devour to melt the young crocodile into something like a biomass. To be honest, Elizabeth was interested in the Crocodile's gene.

[Do you want to Devour (Behemoth)]

'Yes, Eat it whole and don't waste anything' Elizabeth said with her mind, She just wanted to take everything the young crocodile has from the biomass, bones, and genes. Elizabeth wanted to colonize or take it all.

[Devouring (Behemoth).....]

Elizabeth waited for 10 minutes for the skill to finish devouring, She could feel the warm feeling of biomass inside her slime body. It was a very refreshing feeling that would make her addicted to it but thankfully she had good control of her own mind.

[You have gained: 0.660 Biomass]

[You have gained: (Behemoth Gene)]

'eh?, The name of that monster isn't a crocodile? But why did it look like a crocodile if it wasn't a crocodile or its own species is probably looking like a crocodile which makes sense.' Elizabeth thought to herself when she heard the name of the Crocodile or behemoth.

She then began to put all the biomass in each attribute which means that the biomass splits into 110 biomass each. This means that all of her attributes are over 0.100, She would probably be given many skills like hardened.

Then a notification was heard, She looked at it and saw 5 new skills that are in her arsenals. The survival probably she had increased by 1 percent in this unforgiving world, She looked at the Notifications and saw.

[You have managed to have a Strength over 0.100, You will be given the skill called Charge Attack. Do you want to check its description?]

[You have managed to have an Agility over 0.100, You will be given the skill called Sprint. Do you want to check its description?]

[You have managed to have an Intelligence over 0.100, You will be given the skill called Eidetic Memory. Do you want to check its description?]

[You have managed to have a Dexterity over 0.100, You will be given the skill called Precision. Do you want to check its description?]

[You have managed to have a Wisdom over 0.100, You will be given the skill called Sense. Do you want to check its description?]

'No, I don't want to see the descriptions for now.' Elizabeth did an Imaginary sighed when she saw the skills. She needs time and practice to integrate all of these skills into her fighting style.

'Interface.' Elizabeth was curious about her current status so she opened her interface, She was surprised at what she saw but it was still okay since all of it made sense or not surprising as her last strength was much stronger than this.
