Evolution of Slime to Peak

33 Slime in Dungeon

"Umm...Who are they?"

Ren blinked his eyes and wonder what should he do. The stack of bodies was on the ground, and Mori was standing beside the corpse with a proud expression.

The bodies were too messed up. None of them could be identified. They just looked like piles of meat. Blood dripped from their body and dirtied the ground.

Sighing, the Ren looked at Mori helplessly.

"You sure hate humans." He couldn't help but comment looking at the state of these corpses. "You could have left one alive. Now, how would we know who are they?"

"...They are assassins..."

"...Are you an idiot?.."

"How rude of you to call a forest spirit an idiot? The things you use such as woods are the blessing of us."

"Yeah, and you use your own blessing to mercilessly kill assassins."

As an awkward silence floated, Mori played with her hair and blinked with an emotionless expression on her face. She didn't give a shit about Ren's words.

"Hah! Ok, let's leave these things."

"Yeah."

After that, Ren devoured the body.

Can't let the corpse go to waste.

After a short bit of break, he asked Mori. "Do you know where I can find a dungeon?"

"Dungeon? Why?"

"I need to eat something. I am getting less food nowadays and normal things aren't that delicious, since I don't have a taste bug. Only dead bodies or eating things alive is good. And, I can't just eat anyone here and couldn't find any monster in the forest. So, dungeon's mine only hope here."

"So, in one word, you want to eat."

"Yes."

Mori sighed. "Ok, there's a dungeon at the edge of the forest. These trees will show you the way."

She swiped her hand and all the branches of the trees started rotating in a direction.

"Ok, thanks."

Ren said farewell and followed the branches.

"Now, how should I play with you."

Mori let out an evil smile, a smile that will send a shiver to anyone who will see. A tree opened its steam as it had just taken off its clothes. An unconscious man was standing there, with blood gushing out from his head.

But fortunately, he was still breathing.

"The hatred between humans and spirit, these puny monsters won't understand."

She mumbled and disappeared into the trees with the man who is the leader of the assassin.

***************

"Hmm, it's quite a huge dungeon." Ren looked at the huge mouth of the dungeon. Ren walked inside.

The road was paved with weird stones, it felt hard and consumed energy on touch. All the ceilings, walls, and floors were paved with these energy-consuming stones.

Ren looked at the floor with an irritated gaze and sucked the energy from it. The stone tried it's hard not to let go of its accumulated energy, but Ren having Gluttony skill, easily sucked it dry, like how succubus sucks energy from men.

"Better not mess with me."

Ren glared at the stones. Weirdly, as if they have their own conscious, none of the stones dare to take energy from Ren.

Ren wanted to suck all of the energy from this dungeon, but can't. Since he is already full of energy. Energy is just mana that is not refined. Having more will be more troublesome than useful.

As he explored the dungeon, he didn't encounter any monsters. But the dungeon was too huge, he couldn't see the end of the dungeon.

After god knows how deep he barged in, he finally encountered a monster.

Squeak!

A rat squeaked looking at Ren.

Ren looked at and smiled playfully.

The rat was huge, it was at least 5 feet tall, and was fat too. It was alone, with its huge body and red eyes, the rat ran at Ren.

Just as Ren thought of it as a small monster, the rat sped up. Instantly it appeared near Ren with its claws raised.

If Ren didn't react on time and jumped, he would have gotten sliced by it.

"That's why one said, never underestimate anything."

Breathing raggedly, Ren stuck to the ceiling and looked at the Rat. With a fierce gaze, Ren fired a fireball at it.

The rat dodged the fireball as if it was playing a game. It wasn't even serious, its speed surpassed the sound.

Ren used swift and stick on another wall.

"I need web now, and I can be your friendly neighborhood spider slime!... Sounds too weird.."

Commenting on himself, Ren used his brain.

'I can't just beat this shit. I need a plan.'

As he thought, a smile covered his mouth.

He froze on the wall, and as the rat came to swing its claw at Ren with the intention to kill him, Ren didn't move.

The claw hit Ren's body, but, it was stuck.

"Caught you."

With a smile, Ren covered Rat's body. The rat squeaked and resist but an energy ball hit its head. The rat felt immense pain but as it was gobbled down by Ren. The screaming stopped.

"Delicious."

Ren smiled.

[Sonic Steps: Increase the speed that surpasses the speed of sound.]

..."Don't I have a skill similar to this?"

Ren thought for a moment but ignored it for time being, he may use it in the future. As he explored the dungeon, he somehow returned back to the entrance.

Sticking on the ceiling, Ren frowned.

"This is a bit tricky..."

Ren sighed. Suddenly, an enthusiastic voice entered his ear as two people entered the dungeon.

"Calm it down, Riya." A boy said helplessly as a girl ran inside the dungeon carelessly.

"Shut up, I will do what I want." She ignored the boy's word and jumped inside.

"Yeah yeah."

"Let's find treasure! I have heard, there are many rare treasures inside!"

"There may be monsters too."

"Hunters said, there isn't that monsters are. Most of the monsters are too deep inside the dungeon."

...

As he saw the girl and the guy, an amused smile formed on his face.
