“What's th–FUCK!”
[WARNING ❗️❗️ MOB TERRITORY]
— UNLOCKED “ICE BAT EVENT”
[YOUR LEVEL MATCHES THESE ENEMIES]
Elizabeth found herself screaming and clutching Pudding close as they were pounced upon. A trio of pug sized mobs came darting down from the sky with hunger in their eyes. They had saliva dripping from their mouths and frothy foams bubbling in the back of their throats.
The brunette did a tuck and roll, hearing Pudding screech as she did so. She has been so distracted by carrying the baby slime down the mountain that she made a grave mistake.
The teenager had walked straight into an ICE BAT NEST. ICE BATS tended to flock in sets of three and had an appetite for fruit. But if they felt like their territory was being threatened, they had no trouble tearing into your flesh.
Since she stepped into their domain they saw her as a dangerous enemy. Like a territorial pitbull, the bats curled their lips and growled at her. One swooped down and her slime chirped loudly as a claw narrowly missed hitting the poor ball of goo.
“Pudding!” Elizabeth yelled at the panicking slime with a horrified expression on her face.
Her teeth grit together and she felt her adrenaline take control. “I'm going to have to kill these bastards.” The battle ready brunette wrapped one arm around the slime tightly as she summoned a menu.

[☆ SNOW LION DAGGER ☆ EQUIPPED]
“Hang on tight,” Elizabeth warned her slime companion as the dagger materialized into free hand. It was large, resembling a butcher's knife in its size but was bulky from the bone of the tooth. “I have to get close to them.”
The world began to move like a blur as the brunette ran towards the vicious bloodsucking. The bats were fat with their bellies hanging low and their skin bulging as they moved in the air. Huge gusts of wind came her way as they moved their pile wings. It was clear that they intended to rip her and Pudding to pieces. The rage in their eyes made them go from dull red to crimson.

They glinted along with their disgusting fangs as they swooped down and came after her one after the other. Elizabeth moved without a plan this time. They were much faster than the SNOW LION even if they were collectively a lower level.
Her blood was pumping as she aimed the side of the SNOW LION DAGGER at one of the bat's underbelly. She used everything she had to dig the blade as deeply as she could into its obese body. Thick, dark hair and wet, pimple covered skin broke as she strained herself and the bat began to yell.
“Urgghhh!” The BABY ICE BAT let out a screech from its plague filled throat as her blade slashed at it.
Her attack made it bleed but that was all it did. If she was going to make it go down permanently, she'd have to do more than that. Her teeth clamped together as one of its yucky claws nearly took out her eye. Her mind was getting awfully distracted and that was going to cost her.
Elizabeth ducked and felt Pudding cling closer to the inside of her coat. She felt bad knowing that the poor baby was getting thrown back and forth with each movement. But she didn't have long to dwell on this guilt as she took a wild slash at one of the bat's.
She felt the blade almost get stuck in the side of its body. This was because their skin was so tough. It was like you were stabbing a steak knife on an old leather couch. Thankfully, she was able to yank it out. Foul body fluids raining out as she did so, the bat screeching in disbelief.
The smell that wafted into the air was so putrid she doubled over. Like garbage under the hot California sun, a strong stench filled her nose and she heaved. The smell was so bad that she almost logged out by ripping off her headset. She managed to control her urge to vomit and stayed in the game. Pudding was counting on her.
Sure, the slime was a NPC but she could feel it trembling in her arms. It pulled at her heartstrings and reminded her of a kitten in real life. Pudding was letting out panicked chirps and gurgles with slushy tears coming out of its eyes. Just because it wasn't real didn't mean she was going to abandon it.
Elizabeth gave the whimpering slime a comforting squeeze as the BABY ICE BAT she had stabbed stumbled and fell to the ground. Without hesitation, she ran over and stomped her foot on its stomach. The screech it let out from this made her eyes water and the remaining two began to behave feral.
Her foot sunk into the now dead body and she grimaced at the slime that came up when she moved it. Elizabeth rubbed it against the now bloody snow, staring the pair down. “Come at me you bastards!”
{FROZEN HEARTS GATCHA UNLOCKED!}
“About time!” Elizabeth had been waiting for the familiar notification of the gatcha since the battle began. She hurriedly accepted and played it as the bats barreled towards her. “Give me anything!”
{FINAL GATCHA RESULTS}
♡ 2 PUB PASSES ♡
♡ 1 WET RAG ♡
“A wet rag?” Elizabeth groaned as she was screwed over by the gatcha.
There was no time for her to sit and whine about it as a bat came awfully close to her face. Its beady polluted eyes were all she could see as it flew close. Its claw became stuck in her coat and she gasped as her feet began to lift off the ground.
The bat was attempting to fly off with her but since it was still a baby it couldn't carry her that well. Elizabeth acted on pure panic as she began to wildly swing behind her back where the baby bat was.
The other bat was flying in circles above, drool falling down a few inches away from where she was being dragged. Her heels were digging in the ground as she tried to keep herself and Pudding anchored to earth. She knew if the bat managed to take her into the air they would be goners.
With a guttural grunt she dragged her blade all over the bat's body. She didn't know what part of the bat was being hit; all she knew was that she needed to keep hitting and slashing. The entire time she did this the bat's wings were beating in her ears.
They were ringing as she attacked and ripped a hole into its leather skin. The baby bat screeched and she groaned from the incoming headache. After what had to be five straight minutes of her being dragged and cutting at the bat's skin, the bastard finally began to die.
It was stumbling about and she felt disgusting bat ooze fall onto her precious coat. It gurgled and her feet were planted right back onto the ground as the creature bled from its wounds.
Its claws unhooked from her coat and it flew away, allowing her to see its injured body. Elizabeth was shocked that she had managed to cut and stab it everywhere. From its neck to its beak she had managed to hit it.
It looked exhausted, wheezing as it called out to its sibling. The other bat had been watching the whole time with its acidic drool hitting her coat as she hung partially airborne. From what she could see, it was much larger than the other two and had a stubby leg.
She wondered if this was why the creature declined to attack her by herself. That didn't matter anymore with the others being down. If the bat wanted to defend its land, it needed to come at her. Black eyes looked deeply in her’s and it swirled in a vicious death plunge. Preparing to take them both out in an act of vengeance.
“Urrrrrrhhhh!” The creature choked out as it came down headfirst.
Elizabeth rolled with Pudding clenched to her chest as her skin hot wet snow and her coat became dampened. “Ah!” She grunted as the air whipped against her skin as the evil ICE BAT hit the ground and snapped its neck.

There was emptiness in the air as she sat up and saw the now still body of all the ICE BATS. They had been killed in a brutal manner during the battle. Elizabeth let out a relieved sigh, wiping at her face. She looked at Pudding and smiled at the cute blob. With a comforting head pat, she sat it down and took off her coat. It looked gross with slobber and dry leaves all over it.
The coat saved her from being covered in much by it but now it was completely ruined. She put it away in her inventory, not wanting to throw it away just yet. Once she got to town she'd see if there was anyone she could get to fix it. Her body sagged and she felt a heavy weight lift off her chest.
{LE…LEVEL UP ❗️ YOU ARE NOW LEVEL TWO}
“Well,” Elizabeth looked at the sloshing slime with a tired smile. “That's a relief.”
