The Real "Slime God"

I stared at the remaining pieces of the Ebonian slime god, waiting to see the bag that every 'boss enemy' dropped.

A minute passed and I still didn't see one.

I waited for the whole body to disappear, yet there still wasn't a bag in sight.

I looked at the single piece of the purple slime and saw that it wasn't disappearing at all.

I saw a small slime approach the remaining piece of the Ebonian slime god, and I recognized what it was immediately.

It was a piece of the Crimulan slime god.

I quickly pulled out my flail in an attempt to attack the small piece, but it was able to dodge the attack I threw at it.

The two pieces of the gods connected, and soon began floating in the air. I watched in confusion as the ball of slime began spinning in the air, forming a sort of distorted yin-yang symbol.

'What the hell is happening right now?' I asked no one in particular.

{What good boss fight doesn't have a phase 2?} The Gods answered.

My eyes widened at the statement, before quickly transitioning to an annoyed glare.

"Too few, apparently." I said out loud, staring at the still sphere of slime.

The Gods only laughed and said one thing: {Have fun!}

"What a pain in the ass." I grumbled.

I examined the spinning sphere of slime, only to be surprised at the results:

[The Slime God

hp: 5200/5200]

"THE slime god, huh? Great."

{With a capital G.}

"Even Better."

{Don't worry, the only thing it can do is make things. Nothing to worry about.}

"Yeah, nothing to worry about. Like I'd ever believe that." I scoffed.

And then the spinning sphere began moving. At me.

I quickly sidestepped the flying slimeball before it impacted me, avoiding what I assumed to be a painful impact.

"Quite the quick start." I commented.

The only response I got was another dash at me, which wasn't unexpected if I was being honest.

"Rude." I commented halfheartedly, much less serious due to the easiness of the fight.

{You know, we expected this 'god' to be more... well... godlike than this?}

"I definitely expected it to be stronger than this, but I'm more than happy to have an easy fight after the slimy clusterfuck the past hour has been." I responded, effortlessly ducking under another tackle from the 'slimeball'.

-A few minutes later-

"I'm going to be honest, this is kind of boring." I commented offhandedly.

{Then just kill it. It's not that hard.}

"I don't want to." I responded halfheartedly. "It's kind of grown on me."

{It's trying to kill you right now.}

I ducked under another of the slimeball's lunges. "I have no idea what you are talking about."

{Just kill it already. We've been here for way too long already.}

"Is there a way for me to keep it as a pet?" I asked. "It kinda reminds me of a cat I used to have."

{No. You are not getting a god as a pet. Ever.}

"Aww." I whined disappointed. "I guess I'll have to put it down..."

{Please do.}

"I kinda wanted a pet though..."

{The zoologist girl sells cats, dogs, and bunnies. Just get one from her.}

"I'm trying my best to avoid that girl as much as possible though. Her personality is a little too energetic for me."

{Just kill the damn thing already.}

"But it's so friendly!" I responded, dodging another charge from the god. "It couldn't hurt a fly!"

{Can you just kill it already?}

"Fiiine." I whined.

And my mood immediately shifted to serious, pulling out the sunfury.

"Now that I'm done acting like the Gods..." I hear a {Hey!} from the mentioned beings "...It's time to kill a god again."

I threw the flail at the flying ball of slime, only for it to be quickly dodged.

"I should've expected that to fail." I commented, quickly changing my weapon to the light's bane.

"Very close range it is."

I waited for the ball of slime to dash at me, and quickly slashed the ball after a quick sidestep.

It slashed through the slimeball easily, quickly bisecting the sphere only for it to quickly reconnect itself and reform into its original shape.

"Still keeps the physical regeneration I see."

{Al slimes have it.} The Gods informed.

My dance with the God continued for quite a while before the slimeball reached half health.

That's when it became a real battle.

After I brought the sphere of slime down to half health, it dashed at me even more often, as well as performing a completely new attack: Abyssal magic.

I watched as the slimy yin-yang symbol formed several dark spheres of magic, switching between a dark red and a dark purple.

"Oh, so it can use those." I said annoyed, dodging several of the spheres thrown my way.

{You watched it form from pieces of both of the slime gods, so why do you think it wouldn't?}

"Wishful thinking?" I responded unsurely.

{Makes sense, knowing you.}

"I should probably take offense to that." I comment.

{But you didn't.}

"No. No, I did not."

Our short conversation ended there, as we both had nothing else to say. (In other words: I ran out of ideas to continue to conversation.)

I continued my fight with the slime God, lodging and ducking under the spheres of magic and the occasional charge.

"Well at least it's not so boring anymore." I commented quietly.

The only response I got was several spheres of abyssal magic.

"Still rude as always I see." I said to the god, not expecting a response.

I didn't get one.

I simply attacked once more as a response to the lack of one.

And the fight continued for a good while afterwards.

-A while later-

"That was annoying as hell." I stated while staring at the dissipating remains of the slime god.

{We're Gods. we're not supposed to be fun to kill.}

"Yeah, but a man can dream."

{And dreams are dreams for a reason: they tend to be wishful thinking.}

I just ignored the words of the Gods in favor of staring at a familiar sight.

A single bag sitting on the ground, right where the God's corpse used to be.

{Loot time?} The Gods asked

"Loot time." I responded.
