That Entrance was 9/10
'This must be the boss. Clearly his entrance is like a badass! But what should I call him?' Ryuji was witnessing and having his imagination run wild. He was not affected at all by this display of power. Rather he found it funny that this slime looked like a final boss of a game judging on the entrance that he displayed. If he were to give points on how this enemy entered, he would give 9 out of 10 for this badass entrance with all the water effects.
Then Ryuji heard a question. He was in disbelief and his thoughts are running amok. 'He speaks… what-wait. why should I be surprised? This is a fantasy world so everything may actually be possible.' Ryuji composed himself after a minute.
"How dare you intrude on my domain, you filthy insects!? Answer me!" The red slime jiggled. The weird thing is the voice was loud and had a deep baritone voice, but you only see the slime jiggling. For something that has no mouth, it makes an awfully loud noise.
"Master the slime speaks…" Raiji said it with caution as if he had witnessed that is something of a taboo or something impossible.
"Why? Slimes do not speak?" Ryuji answered with a question in surprise. He questioned himself. 'Was it weird for a slime to speak even in a fantasy world.' But isn't it weird to say something that 'it should not speak' coming from animals speaking and hurling magic to their enemy? He finds these thoughts funny but composed himself not to laugh and maintain a serious face.
"Yes, they should not be…" Raiji answered with a hint of bitterness. This afternoon has been a major blow to his self-confidence. It seemed that after being familiar with this peculiar goblin, he witnessed the light blue slime which can do magic aside from physical attacks yesterday that even wolves or even a bear can't hold a candle. His weak brother, though he is actually weak right now, can hurl magic at enemies and obliterate them. He felt pathetic and he could not do anything. He only knew how to hunt like wolves by physically pouncing on them, biting them and aiming for vital spots to kill. To be fair his physical power has been good that is why he can protect his brother and hunt at the same time. But at the moment, he felt helpless. Adding insult to his injured self-esteem is a scary red slime in front of them that can actually speak. He felt he is a bit lesser than an insect, but he needs to maintain his image in front of his master despite this feeling of the world that he once knew is shaken upside down.
"Why not, you saw how they communicate with the attack earlier." Ryuji calmly commented. He had a more open mind. If Raiji only knew where he came from, it would actually surprise more people. Maybe his human trait of adapting immediately on certain circumstances and then honed while working on his previous life actually allowed him to quickly compose himself after a sudden crisis or shock.
The deep red slime watched at the sidelines where a wolf was glaring at him and a goblin was ignoring him. "You dare to intrude my domain then ignore me? Impudent fools! This king shall punish you!"
'Oh, a typical villain… his last line was more derived from cultivation type of isekais.' Ryuji snorted but he tried stopping himself so that it looked like he flinched. He felt the line was so cliché and nostalgic. It's been quite a while since he read manhwas and found it funny that he could not help but let out a chuckle.
The deep red slime gathered the black murky water from the pond or that's what it looked like at first glance. But if one looked closely, the water seemed dispersing from the black thing and that same thing gathered on top of the slime. And starts to form into some sort of a long spike.
"You shall die." The deep red slime jiggled violently, and everyone heard someone laughing. the black matter kept gathering into sharp thin spikes.
Ryuji looked at the deep red slime which could not contain his laughter and laughed along with him. They watched the deep red slime jiggled as if it was laughing accompanied by someone actually laughing. The laugh made the slime comedic instead of menacing and scary. It's like he was in a real actual voice over of something inanimate. He felt that the slime was fake. He could not even make out a face with that red blob. It's like imagining that a basketball or any type of ball with no face is threatening something scary. If this was his previous life he might be admitted in a mental asylum.
"I wanna have a proper chat but I think we would need to leave now. It's getting dark." Ryuji grinned and teased the deep red slime. He is unfazed about the weapon it is creating as of the moment. He had enough of silent killers a.k.a. slimes that kept appearing like mushrooms for the past hour or so and attacking him for no reason. On the other hand, he was covertly observing these slimes. His mind was filled with ridiculous ideas right now. But it's primarily about his thoughts about the slimes being color coded. If a slime is attributed to color, why is it darker? If elements exist like water, thunder, earth, perhaps there should be a light and darkness attribute. He just realized when the deep blue slimes were afraid of light then compared it with the same detail with his slime, Pyun-Pyun, who has a light blue hue. The black matter that is still forming into thin spears gives him a hunch. Black may be equivalent to darkness.
'Come to think of it, why would something like the goddess of dreams have a darkness attribute. Did he come for the wrong thing? Is it even the loli's chrysalis?' Ryuji's questions are getting out of hand. A divine item is after all equivalent to light. At this point it's no use pondering about it.
"You shall not leave my domain alive." The deep red slime confidently jiggled. It had after all acquired a pretty powerful artifact lying around and in a matter of a few days, he rose above all the other slimes in the spring. He controlled three large black needles in midair and by using magic he aimed at his enemies. One is aimed at the blabbering goblin, then the other two is aimed at the wolves inside a make-shift earth hut.
The black spikes flew towards Ryuji and his party. Ryuji pulled out his weapon, the
Pyun-Pyun was being ignored by the deep red slime. But he saw two black spikes hurling towards the wolves. He bounced quickly in the way of the two incoming black sharp things that were supposed to hit the wolves. Then he quickly extended himself and used his skill
Watching his attack fail, the deep red slime jiggled violently. They can only jiggle as to react towards things. "How dare you!" the voice was angry and looked towards Ryuji.
Ryuji gave an ugly frown. He does not know if the slime is looking at him because the slime's color was so deep and dark that he could not see the nucleus like the green and yellow slimes. He could see a faint outline of the nucleus for Pyun-Pyun and even the deep blue slime since they aren't as dark as the slime that is spouting nonsense.
The deep red slime then looked to the light blue slime and then blurted out in frustration. "A mere lower slime defies my order!! You lowly slime should bow to your king! How dare an ingrate like you do not recognize your ruler and raise your filthy appendages against me!!!"
'What the f*ck is this idiot blabbering about.' Ryuji thought as he heard the ramblings of an entitled idiot. Though it is like staring into nothing, he could feel it glaring at Pyun-Pyun. He found it weird as if nothingness is staring at Pyun-Pyun. If that slime had eyes, it would probably melt Pyun-Pyun with his stare. He did not see what Pyun-Pyun did, but he was not worried about Pyun-Pyun in the first place since the little guy is smart. He was just slightly ticked off about the enemy slime's last line.
"Excuse me!" Ryuji then smugly interrupted the blabbering slime. "That is my slime."
