Our wannabe heroes thread happily through the road of the Blue Forest.
"I didn't think the name of the forest had something to do with the color of the foliage" Roland exclaimed gazing at the horizon.
Lucy teased "Did you think some dyslexic cartographer mixed up the town name and the forest name?" Lucy laughed.
"Hey, you used to live around here. I only knew this place was a good starting point to grind some levels." Explained Roland retorting his face.
The two arrived at the forest entrance and advanced further. They looked around and the forest looked very calm.
"Well that's not the first impression I was expecting," said the confused Warrior.
Lucy looked at Roland and stated "I' ve never been here either, but I did know that it was a bluish forest. At least, the trunks are brown. Baba always told me to avoid this route. One can only wonder, I guess."
While the two advanced through the few roads of the forest, Roland hears a sound. A little Slime was bouncing toward them. The small creature stopped in front of the two.
Lucy was admiring the grace of the blue little creature and said" How cute a little Slime is. We can't battle it."
Roland nodded. As they prepared to leave, another Slime appeared bouncing. Lucy and Roland deflected their path. As our unaware heroes walked further they realized they were surrounded by a hundred or maybe more Slimes.
A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
"Lucy" Roland sounded concerned, "I think we are in a bad situation."
"Oh, they just liked us, you silly." Chuckled Lucy.
As Lucy turned her back, one of the Slimes darted to attack Lucy. Roland was faster and protected her with his skill of Ice Shield. The slime was frozen solid. Lucy was paralyzed while gazing at Roland shield-deflecting the attacks of the Slimes aimed at her and Roland.
They came from all directions like a torrential storm and the power relied on speed and numbers. Roland protects more Lucy than himself.
In a small lapse of time, Lucy thought ' I was wrong. They will massacre us now. This is the end. Dead by my stupidity. No husband, no glory, no fame. No-'
A cry for help awakened Lucy from her reveries "Lucy! Snap out of it. I need help we need a plan and fast. I'm running out of Magic." Roland said, his words like a fierce battle cry igniting Lucy's fighting spirit.
Lucy focused on her staff and a magical purple aura surrounded her body and gathered at the staff.
"Magic Missile," shouted Lucy as she aimed at a group of slimes that were frozen. The slimes shattered with the explosion turning into a pond o bluish liquid.
Lucy used her Magic Attack while Roland slashed the slimes and deflected their bouncing attacks. Roland was magic-depleted and Lucy was tired. Most of the Slimes were defeated and splashed throughout the grassy terrain.
"We did it, Roland. I leveled up" Celebrated Lucy.
"What was that, Lucy? I was fighting alone there, you have to cover for me from behind while I attack." Roland scolded.
"I'm sorry." Lucy apologized. "Let's us upgrade our statuses. Oh, I obtained a new spell, Fireball."
As Lucy felt stronger by gaining two levels and a new spell. The bluish smashed Slimes started to move and gather. There stood before them a big and large Slime.
