[King Slime
hp 2400/2400]
That is a LOT of health for a slime... But I guess it is a king.
I decided that Jacob would know more about whatever a King Slime was, so I retreated back and teleported back to my house to ask him.
As soon as I reached my home, I searched for Jacob so that I could ask him. As soon as I sa him, I immediately ran towards him.
"Hey Jacob, what's a King Slime?"
"I'm sorry, a what?"
"A King Slime."
"Why are you asking?"
"I just want to know."
"Okay, a King Slime is exactly what it sounds like, a king of slimes. And they are extremely dangerous due to their ability."
"What ability?"
"They can teleport."
"They can WHAT?!"
"Teleport."
At this point I just sighed in annoyance.
"Why can they teleport?"
"Nobody knows. Well except for the king slime, but it can't talk."
I was frowning, mostly due to the realization that a giant teleporting slime king is currently in the forest near my house.
"Well I think we have a problem..."
Jacob just looked at me like he was waiting for me to say something stupid.
"What's the problem?"
"We have a King Slime in the forest..."
"Oh gods..."
I suddenly had a 'great' idea pop into my head.
"I'm gonna fight it."
"Are you stupid? The king slime is the strongest thing you have ever faced, and you want to fight it?"
"Yeah."
"I retract my question, you are stupid."
"I am not!"
Jacob just looked at me like I was an idiot (Which I am not).
"You are going to fight a monster that can control slimes AND teleport. I have every right to think you are stupid."
"That's a fair argument, honestly."
"Are you done being stupid?"
"I'm still gonna fight it."
Jacob just sighed in exasperation.
"I give up."
"See ya."
After our argument, I immediately ran back to where I saw the king slime. It was still there, thankfully, so I decided to use something I have been avoiding using for a while: a stick of dynamite.
Compared to the bomb, the explosion was like comparing a pistol to a cannon.
It obliterated a good percentage of the slimes, and took a large chunk out of the king slime. I checked just how much damage I really did.
[King Slime
hp 1645/2400]
I was slightly sad that I only had one stick of dynamite, since it took out nearly a third of the King slime's health.
As I was lamenting my limited stock of explosives, I did not notice the small pink slime dashing at me. I only realized that it was there because I had been knocked off of my feet by it.
[Pinky
hp 150/200]
I didn't know how to feel, since I was just knocked over by something so stupid sounding.
I mean, who decided they they will call that thing a 'Pinky'. It sound so stupid, yet entirely correct. I am annoyed that it fits as a name for it.
I realized that my mind was wandering off of the fact that I am staring down both the largest and smallest slimes I have ever seen.
The King Slime had no eyes, but I knew it was staring at me, while the Pinky was bounding towards me. You can't really misunderstand the situation unless you were an idiot.
'I am so screwed right now.'
I was lucky I damaged the king slime so badly, since it was too busy trying to fix the giant hole in its side. That meant that I had time to deal with the Pinky that is currently trying to maul me.
As soon as I realized my chance to deal with one of the threats, the lesser of the two decided that it would launch itself at me immediately.
I only sidestepped out of the flight path of the Pinky, watching it fly past me and collide with a tree with very obvious amusement.
It was extremely amusing due to the fact that the Pinky hit the tree and rebounded like a rubber ball thrown at a wall, only to hit another tree.
It took a second to reorient itself after hitting the second tree, and then immediately charged at me once more.
Unluckily for the Pinky, I had my sword this time, so I sidestepped and slashed at it. While it didn't cut the Pinky, the force of the hit definitely damaged it.
[Pinky
hp 120/200]
I realized that it would only take me four more of these hits to kill the Pinky, since the last hit dealt 30 damage.
I was lucky that the Pinky was less than smart, so it didn't change the charge and tackle tactic.
It was pretty anticlimactic and boring, since the Pinky never changed its tactics.
I killed the Pinky, which gave me some pink gel, which I assumed was different from the other gels. The money was irrelevant to me at the moment.
I looked over to the King Slime, which was almost done fixing its body. I wanted to check how much health it actually regained from fixing that hole.
[King Slime
hp 1645/2400]
I was surprised, since the King Slime had not regained a single point of health.
I looked at it closer, and realized that it was actually smaller than before.
I also noticed one glaring fact that I had missed before.
"Is that- Is that a ninja? In the King Slime?"
I had no idea how to feel about the fact that there are ninjas in this world as well. I guess I should have expected it, since there are a bunch of weird things in this world.
I decided to get a head start on the King Slime by attacking first, which yielded some interesting results.
I sliced the king slime with my sword, and the part I sliced split off into a blue slime.
[King Slime
hp 1630/2400]
I guess the king Slime has some actual defense, since I did an amount of damage similar to what was listed on the description of my sword for once.
Sadly, based of of the damage I just dealt, and how much health the King Slime has, I need to hit it about 110 more times to kill it.
'Today is going to be the death of me. Literally and figuratively.'
And so, I began slashing at the King Slime, but I then realized that there were a large amount of slimes entering the clearing. I decided that my best bet was to escape into a more open area, so I used my magic mirror once again to escape.
What I did not expect was for a slime to literally grow out of the air in front of me.
'I guess its hole closed up... Great.'
I then watched as the King Slime jumped into the sky in hopes of flattening me. Too bad I knew how to dodge, though.
I immediately dashed out of the way, only to see the king slime teleport into the path of my escape route.
It immediately did a smaller jump, and approached me faster than I expected. It hit me and I was launched several meters backwards. I felt hurt, so I decided to check.
[Talon
hp 87/120
defense: 9]
I was slightly scared, since the King slime could kill me in three more hits.
I decided that the ranged approach was impossible since the Slime King can teleport.
'Melee is also a bad idea, but I do have bombs to even the playing field.'
I decided that I should just charge the Slime King, since I do not have any ranged weapons on me at the moment.
'I need a ranged weapon, using melee on this guy is hard, and using only melee weapons is a recipe for disaster.'
And so, the fight began anew.
I dashed at the King Slime, and it didn't even try to avoid my attacks.
I guess it didn't even deem those attacks as threatening to it. Too bad it didn't expect a bomb shoved into it right after I sliced its body.
The bomb didn't do as much damage as the dynamite stick, but it still did a good amount of damage.
[King Slime
hp 693/2400]
Before I had used the bomb the King Slime had about 760 health, give or take 10 health, so the bombs were able to do approximately 50~60 damage to the King Slime.
I decided that it was the go-to tactic since it also killed the blue slimes spawning off of the King Slime.
After a while, the King Slime got smaller and smaller, until its crown could no longer stay on top of its gelatinous body.
What happened next was surprising to say the least.
After the crown fell off, the King Slime froze in place, and started shaking. It... Just fell apart into a bunch of blue slimes, leaving only the crown and a skeleton wearing ninja armor
I looked around, and noticed a horde of slimes that were at the edge of the forest. I was lucky that I finished that battle so fast. I decided that the slimes were not an immediate threat, and refocused on the pile of blue slimes.
As I watched the pile of blue slimes, I also noticed something else.
The crown that the King slime once wore was starting to shrink, and the gel around the shrunken crown was starting to get sucked towards it, slowly sticking together. The end result was a fist sized ball of gel with a small crown in the middle.
As I picked up this mysterious item, I finally started paying attention to my surroundings.
It had stopped raining, and the slimes have disappeared to somewhere unknown.
I decided that I should also grab the skeleton as well, since it had armor that I could wear instead of this iron armor.
Today had been tiring, and all I wanted was to go to sleep.
I never thought to analyze the items I got from the slime until a day later.
