A bailout. That's what this is. Still, I welcomed it. Wasting no time, I activated my new skill. I felt a warm sensation flow from my abdomen to my eyes, and then I saw… numbers. Just like when I activated weapon stats, the stats of everything became visible to me.
I was able to see just how powerful the hydra really was. I also saw what skills it had. But what caught my eye was something else.
Just below the water's edge were shimmering blue crystals I hadn't noticed before. It was also showcasing its stats, along with a special attribute it had.
THRASH!
The hydra struck again, splashing up a wave of muddy water. This hydra was really something—all the mud and water it splashed up was a distraction so it could attack without being seen, like a silent predator.
Its fangs snapped at me through the wave of muddy water. I dodged the attack and went for one of the growing blue crystals. Immediately, a system notification popped up.
[CONGRATULATIONS, YOU HAVE OBTAINED MANA STONE]
