The Town Ch.7

The Town Ch.7

After flying out the tower "window" I remember that I forgot to bring my favorite pet slime and quickly made a U turn in mid air flew back in. Once landed I started to for my favorite slime for some reason the slime around started to change in colors some red others brown and some even have colors like pink!

Hmmmm that was weird seems like this system is affecting the way I think or is it how I normally think? Need to look more in to this thing called the system or there might be unforeseen things happening to my mind...

Any way I decided to bring the pink slime with me because I like the color and it have some sort or repair ability that work on my body. After having the slime form around my body like a protective layer I flew out the window to the nearest settlement I found list on the map.

The map shows the settlement as a human settlement and one of the few that take in all races even "non-living" type like me. Though I'm not sure if the settlement is still the same or if it's gone completely as that is targeted spot for other kingdoms, empires, and even some churches.

But that is the closest known town that is not controlled by a king or like and that takes in non-living type like me so I finally decided to I'll scout the place first with a Golem before going in.

Finally seeing the highlight of a stone wall I flew down to the ground and landed in the forest near the human road and start to sneak towards the town.

Captain Mark's POV

I received notification form the town the elders that a unknown third stage being tripped the aerial and ground alarm system and are now approaching the town from the west side. Me and my team are to check the area and confirm whether the being is hostile or not if so we are to put it down.

Back in the barracks me and my team decided to go light with escape scrolls as it is a stage two being and we probably need all we can get to run away. I mean who sends only a small team of knight is definitely not enough to kill a stage two unknown beast unless we have a master level sniper on the team which we don't have.

Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.

Soon after we started to head to the west side of the town with trackers to hunt down the second stage beast. As we near the said beast we see the bush moving reflexively putting my hand on the escape scroll and is ready to teleport away if there is a split second of danger. Only to see a flash of pink run out a bush and disappeared the next second and then a giant flame hog soon followed.

Being a veteran I quickly gathered myself and my team and followed the flaming trees the flame hog left behind while leaving the fire to the nearby nymphs to put out the fire. While following the trail I ask if any of my teammate know what just happened one of them told me that a small pink thing with a human like shape ran passed us with a flame hog chasing it.

Cursing I started to ran through the trail faster, for a person to be wearing pink in the middle of a forest usually means that they are high ranked nobles and the last thing we need is more reasons for kingdoms to attacking us. Following the trail we found it ended near raven with a flame hog corpse in it... F#$%

Grimoire's POV

Well that was close I almost got killed by a flaming pig sheesh why did it chased my so far I only stabbed it on accident, great because of it now I'm lost. I been practicing golem craft with my slime turning it into many different size and shapes.

I would have flew up to check where the village is but it seem that the night snuck up on me while I was trying to use telepathy properly. On a side note the slime seem to glow in the night that's not good as predators will notice me if it keep on glow like this. Willing the slime to not glow anymore the light on me begin to dim as the slime start to become dimming finally become barely noticable.

Sun finally started to come up after hours of me playing with the slime trying to shape my slime into different shapes but it always falls back into a blob after I release the controls. Putting the urge to research more about the slimes I started to unfold my wings and with a jump and a flap of my wings send me several meters up in the air.

When finally nearing the limit of the height where my wings can take me I saw the village or should I says city? The village is too big to be called a village so I guess the village expanded into a city and by the undead walking in and out of the gate I guess it's still the same as the book says.

Flying down again I wrapped the wings around me again using it as a cloak with only my head exposed. Willing the slime next to I to walk with towards the town with the slime following suite.
