44 Overdoped mucus

The slime was at least two meters high and one meter wide. It was probably even longer, but I couldn't say it precisely. I could see absolutely nothing behind it since its body was completely opaque. If we add to that the number of tentacles that rose around it, it seemed to be even more colossal. It was completely the opposite of the cute little Limy's true aspect.

'Shit, that damn black thing is huge.'

[Black slime: The most dangerous and intelligent kind of slime. It has a great appetite and devours everything that comes before it. Compared to the other grade 5 monsters, it is a rather weak monster, but is able to steal the abilities of the prey it engulfs and never stops growing.]

'You have to be kidding... Weak my balls!'

I stared at the slime, completely in shock. Honestly, I had no idea of the strength of a grade 5 monster, but from what Aeldrya said, it must be overwhelming. Maybe if this black thing were compared to another monster of that grade, it would look weak next to him, but there was no way we would face that damn thing!

“Run!”

Limy's scream brought me back to reality. Aeldrya was still on the ground, without showing any sign of wanting to get up. On the contrary, she was still trembling right there, without stopping to look at the girl who had lost her arms for her.

'This is not going well...'

The slime didn't stop. It kept moving slowly towards us. It seemed that it didn't even care if those two tried to escape. Considering the speed at which it attacked earlier, it had to have complete confidence that they couldn't do it. The proof of this was that one of its tentacles began to get dangerously close. It was a slightly larger tentacle than the one it used to attack. His intention was clear, to swallow them both at once. If they didn't move, they would be its next meal.

'Damn erofu… At the moment of truth, she's useless.'

I rolled at full speed until I was in front of them and, before the tentacle reached them, I fired an air bullet. The tentacle exploded into a thousand black drops that spread around us... I sighed in relief when I saw that I had been able to push it away... until I saw those same drops moving towards the slime again.

‘Come on, don't screw me.’

And to worsen the situation, Aeldrya still did not move. The only one I could trust was Limy.

—It is not going to stay still after I attack him. Take this pervert and get her out of here before this thing moves again!

"But master…”

—Do what I say!

“But…”

—No buts and do... Shit!

Another tentacle shot straight at Limy. I prepared another air bullet and fired it without hesitation… this time at Limy. I pushed her as far as I could. The black tentacle passed right where she was before. It did not reach her miraculously... and the elf still wasn't moving...

—Take her at once and run!

“Understood…”

"Waaaaaaaaa!"

Reluctantly, Limy threw her tentacles towards Aeldrya and dragged her… And just in time, because the slime had attacked again.

"No, Limy ... No ... Aaaaaaa!"

Strange sounds began to be heard, but I ignored them and focused all my attention on the slime. I prepared a fireball and threw it at him. Upon impacting him, the fire barely expanded a bit. Asking that its body burned like oil was too much, right? The flames actually went out right away. Its entire body swayed violently, making me think that at best I had managed to piss it off a bit.

"Where did that fireball come from?!"

... Aeldrya had finally regained her consciousness, after being tied by Limy's tentacles...

'That's what makes you recover your sanity, you damn pervert?!'

At least she had gotten up. What was left for me was to take all the attention of the slime away from those two. I braced myself for it and rolled forward. In response, a tentacle pointed to me. From it, a jet of fire shot out like what you would expect to see from a dragon's breath. I jumped to the side as fast as I could to avoid the attack, and yet it brushed past me… Luckily, it didn't do so much to me… although it left a trail of blacked soil with residual flames where it passed. I laughed wryly at the thought that it had burned my ass...

'This cannot be considered a slime...'

That was not all. Flames, lightning, ice, a strange green gas that dried up all the grass it touched. Lots of attacks that one didn't expect from a slime kept chasing me. There was nothing I could do but escape. After realizing that it couldn't reach me with skills or magic, it seemed to calm down a bit.

‘This gives me a bad feeling.’

Thanks to the magic analysis, I could notice how the magic power was concentrating on the top of the slime. A black sphere began to form. I tried to analyze carefully what it was preparing, but it was so complicated that I could not understand it well with my current skill level. What I did notice is that it was an attack with a large area of effect.

"Master, escape!"

—Why are you still here?!

Looking back, I found those two again. None had run away. On the contrary, Limy was running full speed towards me, and also Aeldrya was coming after her.

"That sphere is… If it fires that magic there is no place we can escape to. It will destroy everything about 200 meters around it,” Aeldrya said upon seeing the black ball.

Hearing it, I couldn’t do anything more than imagine the biggest sigh I ever sighed.

"What a pair of idiots you are... Now I can't escape by myself..."

"Who said that?!" Aeldrya shouted.
