Dryad

Aiden was in the forge with Luu Luu, he was looking at Luu Luu

Aiden slime body moved and put out a armour. "Hey Luu Luu, how tall are you"

The Princess Knight stopped working and just looked at her. "Why ask that"

Aiden just looked at her. "Just tell me"

Luu Luu tale moved as her cloak, showing hee naked body. "4.6 why do you ask"

Aiden just looked at her. "Ok also wear some Clothes woman"

Luu Luu just gave him a Grinn. "Never"

As then they heard an explosion, they went out they expect too see Diablo but instead they saw a blond woman, beautiful face, fair skin, and was wearing next to noting her pirvatee were cover by plants, Aiden then saw King get flying away as Tamamo landed next to him

Aiden looked at Tamamo. "Are you ok Tamamo"

Tamamo looked at him worried. "That girl is Dryad and will um... She has been corrupt"

Aiden looked at Dryad who was glowing with darkness. "Shit we need to help her"

Luu Luu just looked at Dryed. "Dryed are real... As well". She said pulling out here. "Not the greatest meeting"

Tamamo looked at Aiden with a saden look. "I wishe we could help but... If the Dryed become corrupted it is better to put her down for good"

Aiden looked at Tamamo, his expression firm. "No, I'm not giving up that easily. There has to be a way to purify her."

Tamamo sighed, clearly unsure. "I understand your sentiment, but corrupted spirits like her… it's dangerous. You know the risks."

Luu Luu nodded, still holding her weapon. "Tamamo's right. Corruption like this doesn't just go away on its own. It consumes them entirely."

Aiden turned his gaze back toward Dryad, determination in his eyes. "I have an idea, but I need time."

Luu Luu blinked. "What are you thinking?"

Aiden shifted his form, analyzing the situation. "If we can restrain her without killing her, I might be able to use my magic to reverse the corruption."

Tamamo raised an eyebrow. "You think you can purify a corrupted Dryad?"

Aiden's slime body rippled with energy. "It's worth a shot. But we need to act fast before she loses herself completely."

As Dryad unleashed another blast of dark energy, Aiden, Tamamo, and Luu Luu braced themselves for the battle ahead.

Fenrir came out Aiden shadow. "What part we can't fix her don't you get"

Aiden looked at the inferno Wolf. "I can still try... I can't which is more likely we will give her a proper death"

Fenrir tailed moved as he looked at Aiden. "This is why we follow you"

Aiden glanced at Fenrir, a small smile forming. "Thanks for the vote of confidence, Fenrir. Let's hope this works."

Tamamo readied her staff, and Luu Luu adjusted her weapon, both preparing for the inevitable conflict. Dryad let out a dark, twisted wail, the corruption clearly taking its toll on her mind and body.

"Alright, here's the plan," Aiden said as his body began to glow. "Fenrir, you and Luu Luu keep her distracted and restrained. Tamamo, I need you to keep her weakened with your magic. I'll get close and see if I can purify her."

Fenrir's eyes gleamed with fiery intensity. "Understood."

Luu Luu grinned, eager for the battle. "Let's see what we can do."

Without hesitation, Fenrir lunged toward Dryad, his massive form erupting from Aiden's shadow. His flames circled around Dryad, creating a barrier of heat and light to contain her. Luu Luu darted in, using her agility to strike and evade, keeping Dryad's attention away from Aiden.

Tamamo stood back, casting spells to drain the dark energy from Dryad, though it was clear the corruption was fighting back.

Aiden took a deep breath as he approached Dryad. His slime form glowed with a soft light as he reached out, trying to connect with the remnants of the Dryad's original spirit. "Come on… I know you're still in there."

The battle raged on, but Aiden was determined. He could feel something—deep within Dryad—fighting the corruption.

Tamamo then summoned another talesment. "Fire Blast"

As piller of fire went ot the Dryad as she then moved the grass to block the blast, shen then went to attack Tamamo as Fenrir blocked her and south a blast of fire, which made the girl screamed out in Pain, Aiden closes his eyes still trying to connect to her.

Luu Luu jumped up trying to hit the girl, she then grabbed her leg and sent her to try ground, Luu Luu just got back up as she. Slammed the Hilbert to try ground as rocked them got she them hit each of the rock it went flying trying to hit The Dryad, as then the Dryed sent of blast of Drak energy.

Aiden looked at the Dryad attack. "Void take"

Aiden body moved as it ate Dryad magic, as he heard Great Sage he got a another attack

Aiden looked at Drayed. "Sorry, Dark Pulse"

As blast of Dark energy went out of Aiden as it struck her, Aiden then used shadow strike it also hit her, this made Aiden feel like a piece of shit, he didn't want to heart her but he still need to to, as then summoned a bow of green enegry as she made arrow out of plant.

She pulled on as it hit Aiden, Aiden then just absorbed using Glutiny, as now he has plant magic

Aiden just looked at her. "Come on listen I just wanna help"

As then Aiden heard a voice it was Dryad. "P-p-please end me, I don't want to kill anyone"

Aiden's heart sank at hearing Dryad's voice, filled with pain and desperation. He clenched his fists, unwilling to give up yet, but knowing her plea was genuine. The corruption had consumed her to the point of no return, and she didn't want to hurt anyone further.

Fenrir snarled beside him. "She's suffering, Aiden. You have to make a choice."

Aiden hesitated, his mind racing for a solution. "I... I don't want to kill her. There must be a way to save her without ending her life."

Tamamo, breathing heavily from casting, approached cautiously. "If there's any part of her that can be saved, you'll need to do it now. She's too far gone, Aiden. If you can't, we should honor her last wish."

Luu Luu, readying her weapon, nodded grimly. "It's her call, Aiden. She wants peace, even if that means…"

Aiden closed his eyes, pushing down the guilt and focusing inward. His body glowed once again, this time with a soothing, calming light. "I won't give up on her," he whispered.

He stepped forward, closer to Dryad, and placed his hands together, drawing on every bit of magic and power he could muster. "Great Sage, assist me. Find a way."

The Great Sage's voice echoed in his mind. "Attempting to purify corruption through the combined use of Devour and Healing Magic. Proceed with caution—high risk of failure."

Aiden nodded. "I'm willing to try."

He raised his hand, and the air around him shimmered as a surge of purifying energy flowed from his body toward Dryad. The energy collided with the dark aura surrounding her, and for a moment, everything was still.

Dryad's eyes widened in pain and confusion as the purifying light enveloped her. "W-what are you doing?"

"Hang on," Aiden urged, his voice strained. "I'm going to free you. Just trust me."

The darkness fought back violently, trying to push the light away, but Aiden held firm. His body glowed brighter, and Fenrir, Luu Luu, and Tamamo all stood ready, waiting to see if the purification would work.

For a moment, it seemed like Dryad's corruption was receding, the dark energy shrinking and her true form emerging. But then, a violent surge of dark magic exploded from her body, pushing Aiden back.

"No!" Aiden shouted, stumbling as the backlash hit him.

Dryad's voice trembled, weak and full of despair. "It's too late... You can't... please, just end it."

Aiden fell to his knees, his heart heavy. "I... I can't do it…"

Tamamo placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. "Sometimes mercy is the greatest kindness, Aiden."

Luu Luu tightened her grip on her weapon. "I'll do it, if you can't."

Aiden slowly stood, shaking his head. "No... I'll do it. She asked me, and I'll give her the peace she deserves."

He summoned his energy once more, this time focusing not on healing, but on granting a swift and painless end. His voice was low, filled with sorrow. "I'm sorry, Dryad."

With one final burst of power, Aiden unleashed a wave of light, and Dryad's form disintegrated into gentle particles, disappearing into the night.

The forest fell silent.

Aiden stood still, his head lowered. "Rest in peace," he whispered. "You deserved better."

Fenrir padded over and sat beside him, his presence comforting. "You did what you had to."

Tamamo, tears in her eyes, nodded. "She's free now."

Luu Luu, though somber, put a hand on Aiden's back. "You honored her wish, Aiden. That's what matters."

Aiden sighed deeply, the weight of the moment heavy on him. "Let's head back. There's still much to do."

As they walked back to the village, Aiden couldn't shake the sadness that lingered, but he knew one thing for certain—he would never forget Dryad's plea.

Aiden then heard something, it was Dryed. "Thank you.. slime sorry I don't know your name, but I wanted to give you something, you can absorbed thing right... Absorbed by corspe and evolve this is my last wish".

Aiden stopped and spoke. "...."

Aiden moved activated Glutiny as he ate her corpse, as they were away, as next morning arrived

The next morning eveyrone was in Aiden room, as they looked at Aiden he had changed, he now looked human, he had yellow hair and yellow eyes, fair skin and looked kinda like a Humans, but Aiden felt Hollow>

[ Image a yellow version of Rimuru that is how Aiden looks ]

Aiden looked at his new hand. "...I finally got a human from.... But why did it had to be like that".

Aiden stared at his new human form, feeling an unfamiliar emptiness inside. His reflection in the mirror revealed a striking appearance—yellow hair, yellow eyes, and fair skin—but it didn't bring the joy or excitement he'd always imagined. Instead, it felt hollow, a reminder of what he'd lost to get here.

Luu Luu leaned against the wall, her arms crossed as she looked him over. "So, you finally got yourself a human form, huh? But... I can tell you're not exactly thrilled."

Aiden clenched his new hands, feeling the weight of Dryad's final gift. "This wasn't how I wanted it. I absorbed her... to honor her last wish. But it feels like... I took something that wasn't mine to take."

Tamamo, standing nearby, approached Aiden gently. "Aiden, you fulfilled her dying wish. She chose to give you this gift. You didn't steal it from her."

Fenrir padded over, his glowing eyes observing Aiden with a knowing look. "The weight of that choice will stay with you, but you can honor her memory by using this new form to protect those she cared about. You didn't take—it was given."

Aiden let out a deep breath, still unsure of how to feel. "I understand, but I can't help but feel guilty. She wanted peace, and now I'm carrying her essence inside me."

Luu Luu, ever blunt, shrugged. "Guilt won't get you anywhere. She trusted you, right? Then use that power to make sure nothing like that happens to anyone else."

Aiden looked at her, trying to take in her words. She was right. Dryad's last gift had been one of trust, not just power. He couldn't let it go to waste.

"You're right," Aiden said finally. "I'll use this gift to protect others, just like Dryad wanted."

Tamamo smiled softly. "That's the Aiden I know. We'll be here with you every step of the way."

As the room fell silent, Aiden stared out of the window, watching the sun rise. His new human form came with new responsibilities, but more than anything, it carried the memory of someone who had placed their final hope in him. He wouldn't let her down.

"Let's move forward," Aiden said, standing taller than before. "There's still a lot to do."

Everyone left the room, as Radomira then turns of her Invisibility as she looked at him, as she went to him ready to lighten the mood.

Radomira then pulled on his pan and saw something. "Hah nice you have 'stick' (dick), after all my dear Aiden you can finally full fill my sexual needs"

Aiden, still deep in thought, was startled by Radomira's sudden appearance and her blunt comment. He blinked, taking a moment to process what she said. "Radomira, now's not really the time for that..." he said, his voice strained, still weighed down by the events with Dryad.

Radomira, however, was unbothered by his serious mood. She smirked and leaned closer, teasing him with her playful gaze. "Oh come on, Aiden. You've been through a lot, and I'm just trying to help you relax," she purred, her hands trailing along his new human form.

Aiden gently caught her hands, stopping her advances. "Radomira... I appreciate the thought, but I'm not in the right headspace for this," he said, his voice firm yet gentle. "I need time to adjust to all of this. What happened... it wasn't easy."

Radomira paused, her teasing demeanor fading as she looked into Aiden's eyes. She could see the heaviness lingering there, the weight of the choices he'd made and the life he'd absorbed. "Alright, I get it," she said softly, retracting her hands. "But remember, Aiden, I'm here for you. Not just for this," she added with a smirk, "but for anything you need."

Aiden gave her a small smile, appreciating her understanding. "Thanks, Radomira. I'll be okay, I just need some time."

She nodded, stepping back and giving him space. "Take all the time you need, but don't forget—you're not alone in this." With that, she turned and left the room, leaving Aiden to sit with his thoughts once more, the silence of the room returning as he continued to reflect on the path ahead.

Radomira then out Aiden head on he lap, as he fell a sleep on his girlfriend lap, as he went to deep sleep

Aiden eyes moved around before then he was slammed, as he saw Great Red.

Great Red just looked at him. "Pull your self together goddamm it"

Aiden jolted as he found himself face-to-face with Great Red, the mighty dragon looming over him in the dream-like space. The sheer intensity of Great Red's presence was enough to shake Aiden, but he held his ground, albeit with a startled look on his face.

"Great Red?" Aiden said, blinking in surprise. "What... why are you here?"

Great Red glared down at him, his voice booming like thunder. "Because you're moping around, letting the weight of your emotions cloud your judgment. You've evolved, you've gained new strength, and yet here you are, lost in self-pity."

Aiden frowned, still feeling the heavy burden of what had happened with Dryad. "I... I didn't want to evolve like this. I didn't want to hurt anyone."

Great Red huffed, shaking his massive head. "Hurt? You absorbed a spirit who asked you to do it. You gave her peace, and in return, she gave you a gift. Stop acting like you're some monster."

Aiden looked down, conflicted. "But it doesn't feel right. I feel hollow, like something's missing."

"Of course you do," Great Red growled, his eyes glowing fiercely. "You've taken a step further in your journey, and with every evolution comes change—loss, gain, and adaptation. But you have to keep moving forward, Aiden. You've got people depending on you."

Aiden clenched his fists, trying to make sense of it all. "I know... but—"

"No buts," Great Red interrupted, lowering his massive head until his eyes were level with Aiden's. "You're more than just a slime now. You're on a path no one else can walk. Accept your evolution, embrace your new form, and stop doubting yourself."

Aiden stared into the dragon's fiery eyes, feeling the weight of those words sink in. It wasn't about how he evolved or what he had gained—it was about how he would use it moving forward.

"You're right," Aiden finally said, his voice stronger now. "I can't let this hold me back. I have to push forward."

Great Red gave a satisfied nod. "Good. Now wake up and get back to work. There's a world waiting for you to lead."

Aiden then looked at Great Red. "So how far are the layers of the Barriers to break"

Great Red tapped, as four glass like things are shown. "First layer done 4 more to go Aiden"

Aiden looked at him. "So that is why I feel more stronger"

Great Red nodded, his massive form shimmering in the strange dreamlike space. "Exactly. Each time you break through a barrier, you're unleashing more of your potential. The first layer was just the beginning—your new form and strength are only a taste of what's to come."

Aiden glanced at the glass-like layers hovering in the air, each one representing a barrier he still had to break. "Four more to go, huh?"

Great Red snorted, smoke billowing from his nostrils. "Don't get cocky. Each layer gets harder to break the deeper you go. The power you're gaining is immense, but the responsibility is even greater."

Aiden crossed his arms, feeling the surge of strength within his new body. "I understand. I've already changed more than I thought possible, but I can handle it."

Great Red's eyes narrowed. "We'll see about that. The further you progress, the more challenges you'll face—both within and outside yourself. Don't forget what's at stake. You're not just fighting for yourself anymore."

Aiden nodded, his resolve firming. "I won't forget. I'll keep pushing forward, no matter what."

Great Red grunted in approval. "Good. Now get out of here and do what needs to be done. You've got work waiting for you in the real world."

As Aiden felt himself fading from the dream once again, he glanced one last time at the barriers still standing between him and his full potential. There was a long road ahead, but he was ready to face it head-on. He woke up with a renewed sense of purpose, more determined than ever to grow stronger and protect those who depended on him.
