Bionic Slime.
A type of slime that enters the body, and creates an encasing for the one to be healed inside.
It is a consumable that when the healing is done, it also vanishes.
And now, it is already half consumed by Zypher. His head is still under the influence of his two eyes, but his heart is already preparing for his next steps.
Right now, the Bionic Slime still has two hours before it can be consumed.
A soft hand suddenly caressed his face.
Suddenly, the two summons stopped working.
[Danger: an unknown force is interfering with the Summon Integration.]
[If not solved, the user will lose sight forever.]
Zypher's mind suddenly woke up.
No, he doesn't want his eyes to be lost. This might be just one of his senses, but Zypher always relied on this sense of his.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, only to see the normal way.
The beauty of things can be seen vividly, as he rejoiced in his heart, but the red notification alert is sending signals to him.
This is not normal.
Then if it isn't, what is?
Zypher decided to look forward. The hand that caressed him is still on his cheek, while a blank face is looking at him.
He looked at her face and his mind began to race.
As their eyes locked, she suddenly smiled and turned around.
There, Zypher saw the whole place.
It was made with ice, and all the walls became mirror to him.
And, in one of his reflections, he saw something that caught his attention.
The black chain, that snaked from his arms to his back, has an addition he didn't expect.
[Black Chain Curse (Augmented) - Absolute Weakling.]
Augments:
1. Frozen Seal [Expand]
2. Poison Sting - The user will be experiencing a lot of poison; decrease Defense Stat by 30%, decrease Health Stat by 20%, Increase Intoxication, Fenzy and Berserk Debuffs when applied, and your health will drop by 1% every time a new poison is added to the system. (Currently 3%).
3. Pill Burst - from the sudden resolution of using Qi Pill. Decrease Qi's purity to 50%, Qi usage will always result in a backlash if the Qi is not 50% pure. Will Poison the user.
As he looked at the black chains, one chain link turned pale red in color, which is from the burst pill, another became an aquamarine colored which is from the poison, and another chain is blue from the Frozen Seal.
Each of them became a link in the chain, and gave him more debuffs than necessary.
"So, how was your sleep?"
"Good?"
Zypher answered.
As answered, he is already running a few simulations in his mind.
"Let me cut to the chase."
Adelaide said as she poured herself a drink.
Beside her, was a badly beaten Kruger, who was black and blue from the punches.
"Who is that?"
Zypher asked as he saw him.
"I'm the one asking questions here."
Adelaide suddenly appeared before him and delivered a punch to his body.
URRGHHK!
Zypher's body began sending him pain all throughout. His body, feeling the small itchiness of the Bionic Slime, was suddenly met with a larger force.
The sudden change in the pain he is feeling was enough to make his mind go into turmoil.
Adelaide then held his head, and made it face her.
"How much do you know about Astrid?"
Adelaide, with a mad face, is boiling with anger.
[Ten minutes remaining.]
The sudden notification bolted Zypher. He has to do something to satiate this devil's wiles, or escape from here.
As the stress started to pile up, something happened inside Zypher.
[Mental Fortitude Stat Unlocked!]
[Mental Fortitude]
- a stat that makes the player's mind slower to receive shock, and have a cool mind in face of troubles.
[(Intelligence x 2); (Defense x 2)]
Suddenly, all of the noise in his mind started to become quieter.
[Mental Fortitude +1]
As he looked at the now mad Adelaide, he understood the meaning of her actions.
He knows everything, while he is weak. She knows nothing when she is this strong. How can something like him know something she doesn't?
And, how much can she give out just for the information she wanted to know her whole life?
As the details started to sync in, Zypher bowed his head down.
[Mental Fortitude +1]
"What are you gonna do with the information?"
Zypher asked in a whim. He knows what happens, he knows what she will do.
Because he had lived it out once. He knows Adelaide very well.
"What's in it for you?"
Adelaide stopped as she heard the question. She even retorted, but her mind did process the question.
"Do you think you have the power to take her even if you know?"
Hearing this, Adelaide flared up in anger
"Boy, stop being so cryptic, or I will send you to your maker."
Zypher then raised his head, a single eye is glowing.
[Eye of the Unknown One has finished analyzing...]
The Bionic Slime began to decrease in size rapidly, making it look like boiling alcohol
In just a minute, the thick encasing was now just a foot in height.
"What are you--?"
"Tell me Adelaide..."
The Bionic Slime started to crumble, and Zypher was able to take his one hand off.
As it happened inside a minute, Adelaide started backing up.
It was her instinct as a beast that told her, Zypher, right now, is a monster.
As the Bionic Slime began to be absorbed, Zypher took his feet out to walk towards her.
"...what will you do..."
The Bionic Slime was fully dissolved instantly, and a change appeared in Zypher.
The White Chain in his body, added a new chain link, that is metallic, yet sophisiticated.
He then fully walked towards Adelaide, who is now a few inches from the wall.
As he caught up to her, his eyes didn't leave hers, and in a moment, he was already standing before her.
"...if you knew where she is?"
[Mental Fortitude +1].
