Chapter 24 A Battle With Elders
"Who are you?!"
A shout came from the dog's elder. His veins popped on and with full anger, he stepped forward.
"Don't act, rashly!" Bunny elder advice.
Ren looked at them and smiled.
"Who are you?" The cat elder said examining the slime and the girl.
"wait... Isn't that girl from the raccoon tribe?" Bunny elder said surprised.
The two elder's eyes fell on the girl, her brown ear made the bunny elder's claim true.
"Hello, old people. It's me, slime, your common monster." Ren greeted.
"What nonsense are you spouting?!" The dog elder barked.
The car elder patted the dog elder's shoulder.
Their gaze fell on the surrounding.
Trees burning, and many of their kin turned to ashes.
The destruction looked nothing that big, but it was critical.
Ren didn't even break a sweat wreaking this much havoc.
"So, I am your enemy," Ren said nodding. "So, let's fight." He said with an excited face.
"Are you making fun of us?" The bunny elder said calmly.
"You seem quite full of yourself." Cat elder added.
"I will smash you into pieces." Dog elder yelled.
"Haha!" Ren laughed.
"Here I come!"
Shouting, he charged at the trio.
"Lord, I will assist!" Nezumi said from behind.
"Nah, handle those enemies..."
"Ok..." She nodded.
Swoosh!
Ren used fireball, and a ball of fireball floated on top of Ren. Controlling the fireball, he fired at the elder.
The elder didn't even bat an eye at the fireball.
They all dodged without much effort.
The dog elder charged at Ren and punched him. Ren jumped and used strength. With his body strength, he used swift to fall hard on the dog elder's arm.
"AAaarrrr!"
The dog's elder scream echoed, as the sound of breaking bone rang. Ren's strength easily broke the dog elder's arm.
The dog elder leaped back and tried to calm down, only to see something shaped like a ball coming at him.
Ren again used strength and hit the dog's elder stomach.
"Gah!"
The dog elder flung back and hit the tree. Spitting blood, he fell to the ground.
While Ren was snickering, cat elder silently swiped his hand at Ren.
Ren didn't feel anything due to cat elder being sneaky.
The paws hit Ren and flew him. He didn't land that far, but some of his skin were scattered on the ground.
His body quickly regenerated. Ren smiled scarily. He hadn't got damage until now. He used a wind blast, and a gust of wind blew at Ren.
Ren skillfully controlled the wind and formed a ball, that was shot at cat elder.
The cat elder easily dodged the attack. But Ren didn't waver, he used tree commander skill to control tree branches.
The cat elder was caught off-guard and the branch caught him. He was trapped.
The bunny elder didn't attack Ren.
He took a deep breath and moved his hand.
"Instant Speed"
He cast a spell. The bunny elder disappeared as he teleported somewhere.
"Wut?"
Ren tilted his head dumbfounded. Before he could notice, a hit landed on him.
"Shi!"
He cursed and looked around. But there was no trace of the bunny elder.
Ren searched around, not finding the bunny elder, Ren sighed.
He used sneak and scatter.
His body splattered all over the place, and every trace of him disappeared in the thin air.
"What?!"
The bunny elder's eyes widen like it would pop out. The slime just turned into a puddle.
The cat elder cut the branches using his skill 'sharp nail' and came near bunny elder. The dog elder also regained his consciousness.
"Where did that slime go?" Cat elder asked, he didn't notice the battle as he was cutting the branches.
Dog elder just regained his consciousness and also didn't know.
"Don't know, the slime just turned into a puddle."
"What?"
Both cat and dog elder were surprised.
But before they could react, something came from behind.
"Clone!"
As his main goal wasn't just to fight with the elders, he summoned his clones.
He felt 70% of his mana depleting from his body and sort of felt tired. But Ren ignored that and looked at the ten clones that just separated from his body.
While he could now regain his body without much of the energy lost, it was still tiresome. Looking at the elder who is dumbfounded by the sudden horde of slime, made Ren's lips curl up.
"Where did these slimes come from?!"
The dog elder shouted.
The ten slimes surrounded the three elders, and all ten of them were waiting for Ren's command.
"Fire, fireball!"
The fireball was the least mana-consuming spell, so he used that to check if they have mana or not. He just doesn't want to use all mana instantly with big skill. Better to go with a small one.
At Ren's command, all ten of the slimes fired fireball.
Ten balls of fire heated the air and increased the temperature.
The elder leaped in the air to avoid getting burned but was interrupted by the slime who also leaped in the air and used spikes with swift skill.
The elders couldn't react to the sudden attack and were stabbed in numerous places. Blood gushed out from their injuries as slimes leaped back.
The slimes battled their own, Ren sat under the tree and watched it like it was some action show.
The slimes easily handled the elders.
"Damn!"
The elders all kneeled, their faces were pale, and they all became weak.
"Damn you all!"
The dog elder screamed. "Berserk!" He shouted.
The muscle on his body bulged out. His speed increased by tenfolds and he moved behind one slime in mere seconds.
Swoosh!
His one punch blasted the slime and even its remains reached 10m far. Ren jumped seeing that. The sudden power surge of the elder made him shocked, but a slime covered his surprised face.
All the slimes jumped back, but couldn't react to the dog elder punch.
The slimes even used harden skills. Thankfully, the hardened skill saved them. But still, two punches from him made a crack on him and at five punches, they broke into pieces.
Another slime use swing. The slime's body became smooth and sharp. The slime turned itself into a long sword shape and strike the dog elder.
"Aaaaaggg!"
The swing cut his head, but couldn't pierce his skull. Blood dripped from the dog's elder head and covered his face in red.
His eyes turned red in rage as his muscle bugled more.
With his last ounce of energy, he destroyed all the slime before falling to the ground.
As landed on the ground, he dropped dead.
"Hmm"
Ren stretched his body and ate the dog's elder corpse like normal.
The two elders looked at the battle and the scene with shocked expressions. Trembling, they couldn't even speak.
