Monster! (4)

...

<Psychedelic Rainbow Tree>

[Type: Feedstock] (Common)

[Description: A tree with a colorful appearance, its trunk has medium hardness and is an excellent conductor of Mana]

[Main Features: When burned, the trunk produces a smoke with random effects. Effects range from Smoke with curative properties to Smoke with Mortal properties]

[Uses: Due to its high degree of Magical Conductivity, it is ideal for the manufacture of Potions and Magic Items]

"Oh, so the <Encyclopedia > option is really an encyclopedia! Let me see, wait! What? Psychedelic Rainbow Tree? Damn, I almost got the name of this tree right! Elizabeth you are really being too lazy!

Anyway! It looks like I was unlucky the other time with the wood smoke! No, wait a minute! On second thought, I was very lucky at the time!

After all, based on my luck, at that time the chances of the smoke from the tree being an extremely deadly poison that kills me instantly, was extremely high!

Anyway, this randomness is very interesting! Later, when I have access to the fire, I will make some monster play Russian roulette using this wood! If he is lucky, he gets an incredible Boost and can kill me, but if he is unlucky he is affected by a very strong poison and simply dies. Well, I'll leave that for later, when I actually have a lighter or something!"

<Fear >

[Type: Bad State Effect]

[Description: The being affected by this <Status Effect> temporarily loses its rationality and becomes unable to move and respond to the enemy's attacks]

"The state effect, Fear, is practically the same as I have seen in many RPG's.

I think that wolf that almost burned me alive, tried to use a Skill, to put me under that effect!

However, for some reason it failed! Well, whatever! Let's see the next one!"

<Air-Jumper >

[Type: Monster]

[Description: A monster that focuses mainly on Dexterity. Has extremely developed Legs, which it uses to jump through the air]

[Main Features: He attacks mainly using his Legs, but occasionally attacks using his Horn. It has special Bones, which give it the Ability to walk through the air]

[Nature: He is extremely curious, but at the same time fearful. When he feels threatened, he uses his legs to kick the air, creating a small vacuum barrier that he uses to distract his target and then escape]

(Note: None)

"Oh, that big hare is called Air-Jumper! He can jump through the air... does that mean he can walk through the air?

Damn, that sounds exactly like Sky Walk that I saw in that anime! Elizabeth, I want to be able to do that too! I always thought it was so much more badass to run through the air than just flying!

In my opinion, running through the air has more style! Also, following the mythology of my name. I think it's best for me to stay as far as possible from wings! I don't want die... yet.

Sigh! If I had that ability, when I was in Jupiter, it would be impossible for Alkeides or Torsten to force me to pay the bill! Besides, I wouldn't have to worry so much about those dozens of people, who daily chased me while calling me a swindler.

Tsk! It is not my fault if they were naive enough to believe me! Anyway... if I had that ability there, I could literally just flee from my problems... well, I kinda already did that before I died.

Ahem... Maybe I could even run away in the middle of the [Second trip to Hell]!

In fact, on second thought, it would be impossible for me to escape, just with that!

After all, I'm sure if I did that, that T-Rex Girl would just throw a Spear and knock me down!

Sigh! Well, I stop thinking about something so sad, and keep looking at the information!"

<Light-Beam Wolf>

[Type: Monster]

[Description: A monster that focuses mainly on Magic. Has a weaker body, but it has extremely strong magic attacks]

[Main features: He attacks mainly, using Magic Attacks, but occasionally attacks using his Claws and Fangs. It has special Bones, which are very resistant and give it the Ability to attack using Light]

[Nature: He is extremely proud. When he feels provoked, he uses his most powerful magical attack to destroy his target]

(Note: None)

"So, that wolf used the strongest attack it had, just because I hurt his pride? Damn! He is worse than that T-Rex Girl, when it comes to controlling himself! After all, the time she attacked me using all her strength, I only broke an arm, a leg and a few ribs at most!

However, she never tried to disintegrate me using a Radical Beam! Well, I guess she never tried it, because she doesn't have a Radical Beam Attack! Oops, I ended up moving away from the subject!

Ahem... I think I already have the perfect feedstock for my next weapon! The bones of the Light-Beam Wolf!

They are an excellent material to make a weapon! After all, it says that the wolf bones are very resistant!

So as soon as I have time, I will make my new weapon! Anyway!

In general, I found the function <Encyclopedia > very cool and quite useful! However, it has its good part and a bad part!

The good part is that I'm finally going to have information about things! On the other hand, the bad thing is that to have access to this information. I will have to kill the monsters, eat unknown plants and get hit by my enemies' Skills!

This does not seem very practical! Of course, having this information will help a lot when I face a monster the second time!

After all, I will have access to information about his nature, and what his modus operandi is!

However, in order to have this advantage, I first need to kill a monster of the same species-"

At that moment, a thought comes to my mind, and I realize that maybe my assumptions are a little wrong

"Wait a minute! I didn't fight, against the Air-Jumper... I just ate his corpse! So… how the hell do I have access to his information?

Maybe, I don't need kill the monsters to get information about them... and just eating their bodies is enough for that!

Man, if that's true, it makes things a lot more interesting! Huehuehue! It seems that this function will be more useful than I imagined!"

After a few seconds laughing and thinking about that, I turn my attention to the last two options of my status

"Well, now that I've finished looking at all the other things! Finally, it's time for me to see what these two new functions do!

Okay, first let's start with <Reinforcements >!"

With that in mind, I quickly use my mind to click on the little + next to that option

========

<Reinforcements >

-Bones

-Muscles

-Veins

-Tissues

-Organs

-Members

========

"Ohh! So this list is a list of my body parts, which I can modify! This is interesting!

From what I see, it is divided into different Sections! Okay, let's look at the list and see how the changes work!"

After that, I use my mind to click on the first section, the Bones section

Then a list appears with several different reinforcement options

========

<Bones >

-Iron Bones

-Lighting Bones

-Ice Bones

...

========

"Wow, this list is long as hell! I think there must be thousands of different options! Well, I have some free time on my hands. So, I think I will look at this list very patiently and see if I find any cool options!"

<Iron Bones>

[Cost: 250 RP] [Description: This reinforcement covers the surface of the bones and makes them as hard and resistant as Iron]

[Abilities: Iron Wall] [Attributes: +30 DEF, -15 DEX] 

(Note: This reinforcement makes the Bones heavier, decreasing user dexterity)

"Oh, I see... so each Reinforcement has its advantages and disadvantages! In the case of this Reinforcement.

I will gain some points in Defense, but in compensation, I will lose points in Dexterity!

Another interesting thing is that when I buy the reinforcements, I will also gain Abilities! Okay, let's see what <Iron Wall> does!"

-Iron Wall

[Cost: Environment Mana] [Description: Gives the user the Ability to create a very hard iron wall that is resistant to physical attacks]

"Yeah... as I expected! Unfortunately, this Reinforcement does not match my fighting style!

This Reinforcement is good for someone who has a more defensive fighting style. In other words a Tank!

However, a Tank is not something that suits me! After all, I am someone who believes that the best Defense... is Attack!

Anyway, let's see the next one!"

That's all, folks!

Thanks for reading!

Have a great day!
