Chapter 43 - I Ran Out Of Titles
Written By Dr Armstrong
~[The Chosen Hero]~
"Need any help, Julius?"
The blue-haired Hero was jolted out of his dying stupor as he heard these words.
'What...Did someone survive?' He muttered to himself as he eyed the surroundings.
Though there was a problem, he couldn't see anything...A mist had covered the area, obscuring the sights from his vision.
"Look up." Julius's eyes snapped upwards as he attempted to find the source of the words.
Obscured by the mist was a pair of large red eyes looking down at him, an all too familiar pair of eyes.
"P-Phantom?" That was what that strange man had called the Monster...Phantom of the Depths.
"Sure...My offer still stands, Hero. Need help?" This was strange, the same Monster who had originally wanted him dead now offered help?
"Hiss!" Julius hissed in pain as the White Slime finally managed to melt through his gear, its acidic touch coming in contact with his skin.
Slimes were attracted by their respective elements...White Slimes were Monsters of Light, so it was no wonder that the damn thing wanted nothing but the Hero's anal virginity.
"I'm gonna take that as a yes." The Phantom's words resounded through the Hero's mind before a small, tennis ball-sized sphere of light flickered on top of the Hero.
The light illuminated through the mist, revealing the Phantom's monstrous features...Wait...Did it evolve!? The Phantom was way bigger than their previous encounter...
The Slime abruptly stopped as its gelatinous form shuddered, the Hero let out a gasp of air as the pain subsided.
Tendrils of jelly reached out from the Slime as its attention was firmly set on the light ball. The Slime lifted itself from the Hero and jumped towards the light ball, enveloping it in white jelly.
Julius released a sigh of relief as he didn't have to bear with a predatory Slime any longer.
Though he still couldn't move, not with both his legs broken.
"!?" He felt a tinge of pain, which was then shortly replaced with a calming sensation...A familiar kind of sensation.
"Healing Magic!?" He never expected the Phantom to wield such Magic, let alone use it on him.
"Yeah, dying is gay." The Phantom's words resounded as the Hero's legs returned to their former glory, the rest of his body healing alongside it.
Though he was still half-naked. Healing Magic can't do shit with armour, after all...
"A-Ah...Thank you..." The Hero could barely let out these short words as he got up on his knees, his eyes never leaving the Phantom of the Depths.
His body couldn't help but shudder every time the Phantom just moved even a single centimetre...He wouldn't, couldn't forget...
"Why...Why did you even help me?" Julius asked the Phantom as his eyes eyed the surroundings, searching for a potential escape route or an unbroken weapon.
Unfortunately, the strange mist prevented this.
"This thing..." The Phantom pointed at the floating ball of light covered by Slime. It floated off the ground, possibly via the use of Telekinesis.
"It's technically my Child." Julius widened his eyes at this statement...Just, what the fuck?
"People are gonna question my parenting skills if this guy goes around taking advantage of young boys...I can't have such a reputation." People!? What people...? You killed all of them, you bastard!
"...The Healing is compensation for your broken clothes...I didn't expect my new Son to be so ferocious with little kids." What the actual fuck!?
"But I don't for free." The Hero immediately got serious with this statement, he eyed the Phantom before asking him a question.
"What...? What do you want me to pay with...?" He didn't know what a Monster could possibly want other than more power...
"Tell me, tell me everything about the surface, everything that you know of..." Well, he was right...Information was power, after all.
~[The Wyrm]~
"...Now what should I call you?" The Wyrm eyed the floating ball of light, which had been completely submerged in the Slime now.
This was a pretty interesting guy, it was his Son, after all!
"Grr..." The Slime produced an unusual sound as it continued assimilating the Light Ball to itself.
"Since you're a sticky white substance that loves blue-haired boys...What about...Muc!" This was a pretty good name, it also alluded to the Slime's predatory nature.
Try to spell Muc backwards.
「You have given the Name "Muc" to Small White Slime | LV 1.」
"Grr~!" Muc growled in the Wyrm's direction, looks like the little bugger like the name!
"Aww, you wanna join my adventure, little bro?" He asked the Slime as his claws booped the floating Slime ball.
As if touched by Jesus himself, Muc leapt from his ball and slithered into the Wyrm, hugging the Phantom tightly.
That's right, the Wyrm was indeed the most Light-based creature in the room...
"I'll take that as a yes!" The Slime tried the same method it had used against Julius. Unfortunately, its weak ass Acid couldn't do shit against his Acid Resistance LV 7.
「You have formed a ~Master-Servant~ Contract with Small White Slime | LV 1 | Muc.」
「Small White Slime | LV 1 | Muc has joined your Party.」
"Alright! Now let's rock and roll!" The Wyrm said before Appraising his new Minion.

"Oh, damn...Did ever used to be this pathetic? I don't really remember..." The Wyrm muttered as the Slime tried to cover his whole body with its jelly.
Of course, this was impossible since the Slime was simply too small and the Wyrm was too big, so Muc could only cover his left hand.
The Wyrm didn't really mind. The Slime dealt no damage to him, so this was basically just Muc hitching a ride.
Though it was weirdly funny that Muc decided on the left hand...Hehe.
