Though initially confused at the odd voice, it wasn’t hard to quickly notice what had to be the source. He took a moment to actually look around the floor this time rather than focus on the enemy that presented itself and saw nothing of concern, so his attention naturally focused on the creature.

[color=ed1c24]“Should have finished it off,”[/color] he muttered to himself as he saw the Acid Slime that clung to its hand like some sort of glove. The creature looked to be made of liquid silver and Alexander could feel the pressure that it exuded. Certainly, just by appearance he would have guessed that this monster was several classes above the Slimes and Goblins he had seen, but the air it had confirmed that. That and the fact that it could actually speak spoke of higher intelligence and, naturally, danger. 

If the Slime Prince Zhan had been only a bit stronger than the other creatures he had faced in the Labyrinth then Alexander would have challenged it without hesitation. This much of a jump warranted caution even from a battle fanatic like him and he kept his eyes on the creature’s indistinct form as he whispered to Senna, [color=ed1c24]“What do you think? Should we try and take it?”[/color] He was not above a retreat to gather more information about such a monster with such a convenient statue only a moment away, but perhaps a brief battle to try and gauge its strength would be in order? They would have to overcome this obstacle if they wished to advance further into the Labyrinth eventually, it would be nice to know just how much improvement would be necessary if at all.
