Followers Assemble!

Hu hu, this great one has successfully acquired my first follower! Now, nothing can stand in my way! Hm hm. I really am such an omnipotent being.

Huh? What was that follower number one? There's someone coming?

Absurd!

I am the only powerful being here! If an intruder dares to come onto my territory without my permission, they shall face a end more painful than stubbing your core on a sharp rock!

Huh, what's a core you ask?

Hu hu. Listen well peon, a core is the manifestation of my enormous power. Although I usually keep it wrapped around multiple layers of dense slime… I guess I can show you. Be forever grateful! None who have seen this have lived!

.

.

.

Behold! My beautiful core of such purity and rarity!

I see you're skittering around because it's too much for you to handle! Ha ha!

Eh?

"Look, it's a slime! Quick, hit it with fire magic!"

Who dares to-!?

You ignorant insignificant bugs! How dare you throw fire at me!? Now you shall face my wrath! Take this!

"Puhaha! Lory, you missed!"

"S-shut up Will, it's just a bit dar- eep!"

Take this! And this! And another one of this!

"Why is this slime so aggressive?! Will, help!"

"On it!"

!!

Unhand me! Unhand me you pest! Yo-!

.

.

.

"I think, I did it?"

"Geez, why'd you throw it further into the cave? Now we won't be able to collect it's core."

"It's just one slime, they're as common as grass. C'mon…"

Never, in all of my existence, have I ever been treated this way!

Come follower number one!

We will exact our revenge! I'm going to devour their flesh until there's nothing left! And after that, I'll turn them into fertilizer to grow the plants around here! And eat it again!

Come!

.

.

Huh? You want to take care of them? Hmm…

Good. Good! Prove to me your worth!

Go, follower number one!

He he, I'm such a genius. Without having to lift a bit of slime, I'll be able to take care of those pests. Having followers is great!

.

.

.

"Will, are you sure there's only slimes here?"

"Do I look like a liar?"

"Yeah."

"Ah, I'm offended. How cruel, how-"

"Will!"

"Ah!! Get it off! Get it off!"

"What kind of bug is that?!"

"T-the Venom Needle... Why is something like that here…? L-lory, go… tel, ta, guild… run…"

"Will? Will! No, no, stay away! Stay a-!"

.

.

.

Hmm.

Follower number one is taking some time. Perhaps this great one shall lend some help?

Yeah. I better make sure I still have a follower.

.

.

Follower number one! You are back. How did it go?

It went well? Are you sure you took care of them properly? Hmm. Alright.

Now, let us go gather more followers!

Follower number one, do you have any companions that would be honored to serve this great one?

.

.

Over there? Great! Let us go!

Huh, you want to ride on my head again?

Fine. But only because I don't want to wait for your sluggish mobility.

.

.

.

We have arrived. This wise one didn't expect a rock to house your kind.

Hmm. Wait here? Why?

If they do not witness my greatness up close, they will not follow me loyally! Now let us go!

.

.

Lower life forms! Bow down before this spectacular being! I have given you the honor of serving me! Rejoice! Kneel in your place!

.

.

Good! Good!

See follower number one? These lesser beings all know my worth!

Why are you moving your antennas so wildly? For no reason? Okay…

Now! Followers, let us move out to the rest of the cave! I must assert my dominance once more to the other pesky beings here! Mainly the plants!

They dare to sprout up once again without my permission! Laughable!

Onward!
