The Slime and The Lizard

"Yes, it worked!" The little slime flew around in joy as his fly-looking eyes changed that into a normal eyes from the human that he once ate. Now, he can see clearly; but the overwhelming comparison of being small underwhelmed him.

The little slime quickly transformed back into his slime form as he discovered a new ability. If he could change only one body part, he could transform different parts of his body as well from different species that he ate.

He experimented with it for a while until he was unable to do so, "heh." The little slime formed an evil face.

...

The little slime returns to the crater to see the humans who were already tied up with ropes, leading to the Lizardmen's victory.

[Quest Completed! You have slightly gone up the Food Chain!]

The little slime lets out a little brightness as he hid his happiness when he realized, "Oh yeah, I forgot about reaching on top of the Food Chain thing, do I have to eat the Lizardmen too?"

[Negative, you just have to be the Apex Predator. As long as the Lizardmen do not pose a threat to your existence, you are above them in the food chain.]

"I see." The little slime understood as he looked at the Chief from a distance.

"I should get information about this world and this Tribe is a great way to obtain it." The little slime muttered as he transformed into a Ballistic Eagle, only to transform back as he flew and dropped in front of the Chief.

The Chief was surprised but with his personality, he quickly calmed down and kneeled, "Thank you benefactor, as you save my— no, our life." He said as he bowed his head and his fist on the ground.

The fellow Lizardmen followed to kneel, in the same order as the Lizardmen Chief

The little slime panicked, seeing that this is his first time being thanked in such a way, "N-no, it's okay!" The little slime stuttered as he thought how to deal with this, "Oh yeah! You may raise your head." He said as all of them raised their heads.

"It would be too suspicious if I don't take anything in return." The little slime thought as he turned into that of the Viperous Snake, as his size became that of a one story building. Although it was still incomplete with most of his characteristics being that of a slime, he was still intimidating to look at..

He tried to intimidate them, since his mission is to be on top of the food change. He has to look more powerful than them.

[Intimidate]

Suddenly, the little slime's aura became heavier than the Lizardmen Chief when he released his after his [Lizard Water Magic: Four-Speared Hydra.] It was so heavy that they can't even stand anymore.

All they could do is to stand still.

"I think I overdid it." The little slime thought as he took on a bitter smile. He tried to control his skill to a minimum just before he needed to talk. It's better to be on friendly terms than to be enemies.

The little slime might be powerful but he can't be alone in this huge world.

"Heed my request. Tell me all about this world and I will grant you my protection!" The little slime spoke as his language became better after eating two humans.

"I always wanted to say that!" The little slime mumbled at the back of his mind, wearing a sarcastic face.

The Chief stood up as he took his spear as his face became gentle and smiled, "Very well. As for your disguise, it won't get through me, so let's discuss this in our village."

"Eek!" The little slime transformed back from a monstrous giant snake, into a cute little slime, "It looks like I can't fool such a powerful warrior." The little slime complimented him.

"I thought he was gonna kill me!" The little slime mumbled again at the back of his mind.

"No no, I can see that you are more powerful. Now then, shall we go?" The Chief complimented back as he replied back to the little slime.

In a certain human kingdom, a human has escaped from the clutches of the fight between the Lizardmen and his Human kind.

"Are you saying that there was this weird monster that pierced through the Obsidian Armor like paper?" A man as overweight as the pig that the little slime killed sat on a grand throne. Eating in a carefree manner.

He was filled with jewelry with a crown that was as gold as it can seem; with jewel ornaments.

"Y-yes sire!" The man that reported the fight was kneeling with his head bowed down and his hand on the ground.

The fat sire smiled as he ate some more, "I couldn't care more about my son dying, he was a disgrace in the family anyway." He said as he finished a chicken leg like it was a lollipop.

"Well anyway, thanks for your report." He continued as the knight that escaped looked at the lord with a big smile.

"Guards, kill him." The fat sire continued, causing the soldier to stand up with his eyes as wide as an owl.

"What, why!?" He asked in an aggressive tone.

"What? You ran away from the battlefield. That's treason, ya know?" The fat sire answered back as the guards took him away.

He enjoyed one more chicken leg as he smiled like he has some sort of plan, "I finally have a great excuse to kill those damn lizard breaths." He smirked as he laughed hysterically.
