So my lord, what are you going to call your weapon?

Hmm, what about dimension traveler?

My lord, that sounds like a highly advanced teleportation spell, not a weapon.

Okay, reality slasher?

I guess that works?

Yea, I'm sticking with it.

My lord, your naming skill isn't the best is it?

Shut up.

Yes.

Anyways, should we get back now?

Sure? But shouldn't you leave some facilities here for Graunter in case some demons want to stay back?

Oh, that's your problem.

Huh?

Yea, I wasn't kidding about giving you the management of the underworld with Graunter.

Anise mentally cusses at Xania in her head.

Anise, we still have our familiar spell, I can feel what you feel you know?

Yea yea, I remember!

But only if I choose to.

Then stop it.

Nah.

… Can you just send us back already?

Sure.

Xania prepares her scythe to cut another hole back to earth as something acidic starts appearing on the floor.

What's this?

I have no clue my lord.

It feels somewhat solid and liquid, Anise, you can handle the acidity right?

Yea, but I need a shield.

Let's go find the source of this first.

Why? Can't we just ditch? Anise says, sounding annoyed that they actually have to work a bit.

Because I said so, so get moving.

Fine.

Anise uses magic to no avail as the whole area is covered in the weird slimy acidic substance with no apparent source in range.

My lord, I can't find it.

…

Xania tries and ends up with the same result as Anise.

Huh? So weird.

My lord, see? Maybe it's just a natural process or something, let's go.

No, wait. Let me try something.

Xania places the handle of her scythe on the floor with the slimy substance as she starts infusing dark mana into the slimy substance quickly, chasing it to start turning black, spreading out from the handle of the scythe as the part infected with dark mana gets cut off from the rest as it retreats away.

It's like a lizard.

My lord, what the hell was that?

How am I supposed to know? Aren't you more knowledgeable about the underworld?

Yea but due to it having been abandoned so long, there's all types of new species mixed.

Mixed? They can cross breed?

Anise looks over at Xania with a look of exaggerated disgust, annoying Xania a bit.

My lord, you're not cute or innocent anymore.

Shut up, it's a fitting question.

Fine, some species in the underworld don't need intercourse to reproduce and have special methods so if they mix with each other accidently, it may cause mixed species.

Oh.

Oh? That's it?

What else do you want me to say?

This story has been taken without authorization. Report any sightings.

Screw it, if you want to capture it, just trap the majority of it, it shouldn't be able to cut itself off then, or even if it does, it'll still be trapped.

Seems easy enough, except for the fact it ran in all directions, it honestly looks disgusting.

That's the underworld's specialty.

Great.

Xania uses her tracking spell to find that it somehow escaped underground as she starts using brute force to break through due to not wanting to hurt the slimy being.

My lord, you shouldn't do this Infront of others.

Why? Xania stops for a moment.

Because this looks so contradictory to all the pictures I have of you and gave out to others.

Anise, I don't care.

With one final stomp, Xania breaks through the ground, revealing a small cavern with its entrance unknown.

As Xania uses her wings to slow down her fall and grab Anise, she looks around to find it dimly lit despite no visible light sources around.

Anise, where is the light coming from?

Most probably magic.

Magic? What is casting it?

I think maybe the slimy creature is.

But why? It didn't look like it had eyes.

My lord, this is the underworld, the place where basically every or most creatures have magic and the thing you are concerned about is the lack of visible eyes?

Yes Anise, I am already one of the best if not the best day magic, so I couldn't care less, so yes, I do want to know how it can see without any eyes.

… My lord, can we just focus on the important part?

Which is what?

It is sentient, or at least more intelligent than mere animals.

How?

It knows how to hide and run, there's also some illusion magic being casted.

I guess that counts?

It does!

Fine fine, let's go find it first.

Yea, let's go.

Xania and Anise head deeper into the cavern as the darkness starts to engulf yen despite the lights glowing in strength with Xania needing to start making her own lights, making the area a bit too bright.

As they carry on further, they eventually see a small room with small bone fragments, most likely belonging to animals before they and the majority of their bones got dissolved.

Carrying on further, they eventually find the slimy creature again as it notices them and flees further in with Xania and Anise behind it, eventually chasing it to a dead end with Xania creating Shields behind her, blocking its way out.

Hey, you little slimy thing what are you?

It remains silent as it gathers into a dense little blob.

Answer me. Xania prepares some spears made of dark magic and prepares to shoot them.

My lord, are you crazy?! You were just wondering how it could see with no eyes, but now it clearly has no mouth and you're asking it to speak?!

You're the one who said that it's magic or whatever.

Seeing is a vital sense to surviving in the underworld, talking is not!

Fine fine, I won't shoot it.

Xania notices the little blob of slime start vibrating, somehow seeming angry at it being called an it.

Oh, then what do you want me to call you? He?

Xania watches as it vibrates harder and more angrily.

She? Xania says, making it vibrate again, but gently, confirming.

But, what sets a guy and girl of your species apart? I don't see how you can have different appearances of organs.

Anise looks at Xania with a look of exaggerated surprise.

What now?

My lord, some species in the underworld reproduce asexually, so they just pick a random gender but it's still rude to say that.

Seriously? But look at it.

My lord, what you are doing right now is the demon's version of racism.

How?! I'm not even talking about the fact it's green!

Yea, we don't care about that stuff, but any rude comments are considered racist, especially if you know about it.

Xania looks back to the slime again which is vibrating In agreement.

How the hell do I understand you, am I going crazy?

The slime nods, affirming what Xania said, making her annoyed

Screw it, I'm gonna name you Blob.

Blob vibrates angrily, shooting a bit of slime at Xania which she just blocks with a shield.

As she blocks it, the slime easily melts her shield, surprising her as Blob fires another shot at her face, not hurting her but annoying her.

Look here, “Blob” either you take the name or I take you with one of my spears of dark magic, you choose.

My lord, this is typically considered abuse.

No, it isn't, I would consider this as threatening instead.

That isn't much better.

But it's still different.

… I wanna retire.

Not happening, you're my work slave now.

I hate you.

Same here.

Anyways, Blob, what do I do with you? You still look severely disgusting.

Xania watches as it squeezes itself in, turning smooth and into a proper Blob with somewhat of a face, among Xania scowls.

Wipe that fake face off.

My lord, that's it's real face.

That thing is a face? Xania points to its face which looks like a dot for each eye, and a line for a mouth.

I'm afraid so.

Boob fires a shot at Anise, annoyed by her tone filled with pity as Xania blocks it.

Ok Blob, first thing first, stops attacking people or I'll kill you.

Bloc shoots again at Xania before vibrating In agreement.

Annoying little piece of…

Screw it, Anise, what cross breed is this?

Probably a slime.

And?

That's it

That's not cross breeding.

Yea, but I assume the Blob over here got into contact with something severely acidic and got lucky enough to survive.

I'll just call it acidic slime for now.

My lord, you really should stop naming things.

Why?

You named it “blob” and its race “acidic slime”, you have no creativity.

One more word and I'll leave you here.

Truth hurts my lord.

Anise, I'll really leave you here.

Fine, I'll shut up.

Xania uses her scythe, creating another temporary rift as she enters through, ending up back at her castle, quick enough to notice a small sudden explosion.

What happened?

My lord, you used too much mana.

Oh, it seems I did.

Xania fixes the castle quickly and teleports away as passer-by comes to check what happend, leaving Anise to deal with them.

As Xania teleports back to her room, she picks up Blob, ignoring the slight stinging feeling from its acidity due to it not being able to hurt her.

Hey Blob, you're pretty strong actually, if I threw you at Ansie without warning you could probably kill her, couldn't you?

Blob vibrates in confirmation.

Nice, accept It.

Xania uses familiar magic in Blob, waiting for him to willingly accept It so as to not force it as it accepts.

Hmph! Who is this crazy woman who kidnapped me? A sudden voice rings out around the room.

Xania looks around, trying to find the source to no avail.

Is she going crazy now? I can't believe I can't kidnapped by a crazy bit—

Xania grabs Blob up with one hand, causing her to shut up.

Hey, you're the one insulting me right?

Hey! Let me down, you crazy idiot!

How can I understand you?

Xania watches closely and notices it vibrates every time she hears it “talk”, and realises it uses the vibration to make noise which it uses as a language of its own, creating a new language entirely.

Hey Blob, can all slimes speak?

What? The crazy idiot can hear me?!

Yea, so answer now.

Blob starts vibrating angrily, cussing at Xania with all of its strength before confirming that all slimes can communicate like this.

Great, I'll give you some of my mana or strength later, whichever you want, but only one because the spell can't take more than that.

At least the crazy idiot is compensating me. Blob says, forgetting Xania can hear her, making Xania grab it again.

Say your prayers.
