Chapter 6 - Circuit Beast (Water Slime)

  Fall season was already close and the final berries had been harvested, all that was left was to remove the metallic vines and roots and send them to the house, since they could be used to make metal tools and common knifes. While everyone was using specialized rakes to rip out the roots left over after removing the vines I was sneakily taking several vines and hiding them in a wooden box behind a wooden shed.

  These vines were the perfect material to get metal Ki and fire Ki from, which i was in need for, the plan was progressing smoothly since all that was left to do was to wait till night and collect them. However i never expected such an incident to occure...

  Everyone was working hard, one particular worker was wiping his sweat when his gaze landed near the lake, his body froze and a shiver ran up his spine.

  -"Slime, Water Slime!!! Run!!!"

  Alarmed all the workers glanced towards the forest then frantacally threw their equipment and ran.

  *whooosh*

  The sound of wind spliting was heard and i who was hiding behind the wooden shack witnessed as a thin beam of water split three workers by their waist, their guts spilled from both sections of their bodies and blood rushed out, they were still slightly holding onto their concience making wierd choking noises as blood driped out their mouth, a large light blue blob(slime) with a dark blue nucleus in the center with small dark blue blood vessle like strucures extending in all directions from the nucleus to the out membrane(transparent skin) of the slime.

  The slime jumped towards the corpses and instantly dissolved them into its body. A large bubble formed inside the slime and a small hole opened in the membrane, the buble then connected to the hole and the slimes body contracted, a large hydrolic beam shot out splitting over thirty runing workers in half.

  -"run for it!" "shit"

  -"Damn it my brother!!!"

  -"hurry the fuck up and call en expert"

  While everyone made a fuss and ran for their lifes, the slime kept on devouring bodies and constantly killing everyone it detected.

  "Shit" before I knew it that fucker was already beside me, just as i was ready to flee. 

  "which Fucker said slimes were slow" my body shiver as i felt thin strings of Ki pass through my body, slimes are incapable of seeing since they don't have eyes, however using Ki it's able to sense any living organism with Ki by spreading thin strings of Ki and using it to sense.

  "fuck..." i stare at its body, it looked small from afar, but up close its six meters tall and twelve meters wide, its body shivers for a moment, but then it starts bouncing towards the workers running to the saftey shelter near the storage. "hahaha" i forgot.... i don't have any Ki in my body right now.

  *vrooooouuuuu*(alarm)

  As i stare at the slime at a distance the alarm finally starts, its been thirty seconds since the slime arrived yet eighty people had already died, a bone refining expert should be on the way.

   -"Everyone don't worry i have arrived to the rescue" a large man wearing a thin light blue silk robe arrives, his sturdy muscles stick out and i cant help but stare at his leapard pattern briefs... his sturdy looking face glances at the male workers and a creepy self-satisfied smile creeps up his face as he grips a light blue crystal sledge hammer besides his waist, my danger senses instantly set off, Hail(y) Williams, powerful bone-reconstrucion expert, and dangerously gay, and with that i don't mean it as an offence, if theres a guy he likes he drags them with brute force to his home...never to be heard from again.

    As if recognizing a powerful advirsary the slime's body contracts and compreses, propelling itself with a water cannon it charges like a bullet twards Hail(y) it's speed so fast it looks like a blur to me, however upon impact all that greets him is four-hundred pound hammer, the slime looses parts of its body, but it successfully protects its nucleus and dashes to his left, a large water blade forms on its left side and dashes behind hail(y) the blade only rubs on his hammer before it breaks, and the slime quickly tries to reabsorb his body, but before it finishes hail(y)'s hammer comes from above him and crashes down on his nucleus, the hammer passes through its body and smashes the core down into the ground.

    The ground trembles and the produced dust cloud is instanty formed and a muddy crater is left behind along with a core inside, hail(y) retrives the core.

  -"hahaha the great me splendidly took care of the slime!, now which of you will accompany me today"

  His gaze moves around and just before it lands in my direction i feel a shiver and instantly hide behind the wooden shed.

  -"hahahha its going to be you, come on don't be shy" hail(y) looks at young eighteen year old kid with a small stature and Thin but strudy physique with light black hair.

  "phew" i can't help but sigh in relieve as he leaves along with the boy.

  -"poor kid thats the last we will hear of him"

  -"um such a shame and so young too"

  -"Everyone!" "get cleaning already, we still have alot of work. found out who the deceased one's were and tell their families."

 The sun slowly settles and the moon takes its place in the opposite side of the sky, im sitting in my favorite hill, well now that thats over, it's time to get started...
