Strength of a slime

Chapter 13

[ Strength of a slime]

We arrived at the mall. But we saw something we didn't expect. The mall was filled with couples. I mean it's normal to have couples at a mall, but the numbers were just outrageous. It wasn't even Valentine's day. I deliberately ignored all of the couples but the same couldn't be said to Stella. She looked at everyone with an envious look on her face. I sighed. I held her hand and told her to not mind them.

<...>

She nods. We went to the nearest fast food place. 

She was silent. "What happened to her? Earlier she was normal but since we got here she suddenly had a change of mood."

But this isn't the time to worry about it because as I was about to head to the counter I heard Stella's voice.

she yelled as she slapped someone. I turned around only to see a group of 5 guys hitting on her. I knew she could handle things on her own but that thought was completely disregarded as soon as I saw 3 of them holding blades, while the other 2 was holding Stella back. One of them then started to make a move. He raised the blade to slash her . I dashed in front of her to block the blade with my gauntlets. But to my surprise I couldn't summon them. Someone was using something to jam my overdrive gear.

He went in for the blow. I couldn't help but just to raise my hands to block the blade. The blade severed my right arm. 

yelled Stella. 

[Health:90/120]

I looked at my severed arm and picked it up. The arm turned into purple slime and got absorbed by me. 

[Congratulations you have acquired skills: Slime properties and ultra speed regeneration.]

The same purple slime then appeared to where my severed arm was supposed to be attached to. It took the shape of my arm and quickly turned into it. In just 1 second I have regenerated my arm. 

It was silent. I walked towards the one who severed my arm. I clenched my fist and punched him to the stomach. He was sent flying only to be stopped by a wall. I stared at the other four. They all fell down and quickly went to the one that I just punched. Stella was just standing there looking at me. Until finally she said something.

For others who didn't know me it could only be disregarded as an ability. But for Stella she knew that this wasn't the case.

I sighed.

***

We were now at the park near the mall. We sat on a bench. I started explaining things to her.

<...>

"Looks like she won't believe me"

I forgot that I could actually turn into one. I turned into a purple slime about the size of my head, maybe a bit larger. She looked at me with dazzling eyes.

She was going to pick me up. But before that she looked around to see if anyone was around. Once she was sure that nobody was around she picked me up and cuddled me.

"H-her chest!" Two pink circles appeared under the line that you could call my eyes. Although she noticed it she didn't mind it as right now she was squishing my slime form.

she whispered.

But right after she said those words the 5 guys returned.

the four beside him nodded.

"Argh! These b*stards." 

I then thought of an idea. I hopped out of Stella's arms and opened my mouth. I shot out a fireball hitting the guy in the middle. As they were looking at their now unconscious comrade I returned to my original form.

I then pounded on my chest.

At this exact moment my eyes glowed purple. And unlike before, Rulid came out without any permission.

The group was stunned by the sight of a 5 meter dragon behind me. 

They all screamed.

They all ran as quickly as they could. I turned around to see a startled Stella. She looked at me with scared eyes.

I closed my eyes and opened them once again. My eyes were back to normal and Rulid went back into my shadow. I smiled at her.

She calmed down a little bit. I walked over to her to give her a hug to calm her even more. I hugged her tightly.

She whispered to my ear.

She giggled and gave a sigh of relief.

she said. I nod.

We went all the way back to the school. A car was waiting for her. She waved me goodbye as she walked in the car. But she went back to me again and gave me a surprise kiss on the cheek. 

She then went back to the car and they went off. I just ran back to my apartment.

As soon as I arrived home I jumped on my bed and slept.

Once again I was in darkness. Although I was the purple light now there was another light. A red light. I flew to it's direction and as I got closer I noticed that the light was Rulid. "So Rulid is connected to me at this level huh?"
