As Jason continued to practice near the pool, he received another one of the notifications he had grown to both love and hate.

Apparently constantly running [b][Tremor Sense I][/b] while trying to figure out Aqua Orb was quite taxing.  Just as Jason was about to consume a mana crystal, a group of monsters suddenly came running! A Wisp, bloodied and weaving in panicked zig zags, flying away from a Slime in hot pursuit. The slime’s low speed, however, and the fact that several dark colored spots on its body implied injuries, meant that it too must have been prey for something. Indeed, seconds later a Fanged Lizard appeared over the rise, spitting poison at the Slime though it missed every shot. Several feet above the lizard, a second Wisp seemed concerned for the first one’s safety, as it seemed to be straining to catch up to the Slime before the Lizard did.

Deep down, Jason smiled; what a fortuitous situation indeed...

Carefully noting the lizard's speed, he consumed the first of his two crystals before summoning a [b][Rock Spire I][/b] out of the ground at a 45 degree angle. If his timing right, the spire would come out just in time for the lizard's speed to get it impaled deeply through the gut, and turned into what would be little more than a sitting duck.

Next, waiting for the injured wisp to get within range, Jason quickly lunged up and attempted to spike it into the ground. Then turning his attention to the second wisp, he spat a ball of bile at the flying puff (empowered with whatever mana he had left), and consumed his second crystal, ready to dodge any retaliatory attack from the cheeky little shit.
