Evolution of Slime to Peak

Sleeping on the bed, a young girl blinked her eyes while staring at the ceiling. She jolted when she heard footsteps coming outside.

Properly raising her back, the wall supported her back.

Knock! Knock!

"Come in."

She softly said that.

The door opened and two figures entered the room.

"How are you feeling, lass?"

Ren asked while staring at her.

"I-I am fine." She shuttered but showed a glimpse of her smiling face. Her eyes were red like she had been crying for ages. The frail body of hers shivered and her hands trembled, despite that, she didn't lose her composure and properly displayed herself as a proper lady.

"So, What's your name?"

"Riya Flander. I am the young princess of Flander Kingdom."

"Flander kingdom?" Ren tilted his head.

"Oh, the forest is also stated on the Flander Kingdom."

"Oh."

Ren was satisfied, he forgot to ask the kingdom's name from others.

"So, why were you attacked by those soldiers?"

Nezumi also nodded showing her interest in this question. She also waited for the answer standing quietly in the corner of the room.

"T-They are from the Shirin Kingdom... They are our rival kingdom, but t-today they crossed the line! Big sister and brother were killed mercilessly by them!"

She shouted with tears dripping from her eyes. She made a fist trying to endure the rage in her heart.

Ren's lips curled up.

War. I sure like it.

He felt like making the situation more complicated so that he can join the war and get spoils like the human body...

As a monster, he doesn't need to care about those puny humans at all.

But, he held his urge to speak and comforted the girl.

'I need to manipulate her...'

A plan cooked up inside his head while the girl wrapped her hands around his squishy body. Pushing her face, she rubbed it.

After that, Ren left her and asked Nezumi to be on guard.

****************

At the entrance of the forest-

"Are you sure, the girl was taken here?"

A man wearing a black outfit with his face covered in a mask said. Another man wearing a similar outfit nodded and added.

"Yeah, a slime and a raccoon girl carried her here."

"Interesting."

Despite being his face covered, his smile could be brightly reflected. The ten men in black sneaked inside the Arashi village.

As they entered, their eyes widen.

Paved roads, a fountain, a farming style that they had never seen, and concrete building that rivals human architects. The various building, windows that added charms to the building, and the joyous face of the beast living there made the assassin bewildered.

Shaking his head, the assassin ignored these things and advanced. But-

Swish!

"Wha-"

Passing by his face, a sharp object brushed right through his cheeks. A drop of blood floated and fell down, making all the assassins stop in their track.

"Who are you guys?"

A girl wearing green clothes spoke standing on the branches of the tree. Her bare stomach flashed and the beautiful belly button could be seen.

The barefoot of her and the silky green hair with green eyes swayed. Her hands raised in the air and commanded the branch.

"Who is that girl?!"

"How will I know?!"

The assassin yelled at each other.

"Shut up! Attack her!"

The leader commanded.

The shadow flashed and many assassins surrounded the girl.

But, the girl, Mori, didn't even blink her eyes. With an unfazed face, she swayed her hands. The branches fluttered with the movement of her hands.

"Huh!"

Before the assassin could even reach near her, they were stuck midair.

"W-What happened?"

As they realized what happened, fear struck their heart. The branches had grabbed them, and they couldn't even move their hands.

The leader and other members dumbfounded took a step back. But all of the branches had surrounded them.

They thought they surrounded the girl, but the girl was the one who surrounded them.

"Slash!"

The leader yelled, followed by the shout of other members, their dragger glow. The shiny dragger easily cut the branches in half.

But how much they strike, the branches keep coming at them like there was no end.

"HAAA!"

The assassin shouted.

"Mega Fire Tornado!"

He shouted. The wind rotated, and the temperature rose. The fire lit in the moving wind and a tornado full of fire rating on it was created.

The tornado burned the branches and trees turning them to ash instantly. The huge tornado engulfed his trapped teammates too, and they all died screaming.

The leader of this assassin used this chaos to run leaving his crazy subordinates.

"Gwack!"

The assassin spouted a mouthful of blood and looked below dreadfully. A sharp branch pierced his stomach and a huge hole was created. He died instantly.

The reaming Assasin easily escaped. Their agility was higher and they did parkour around the forest. Leaping from branches to branches, like monkeys they reached a whole far from there.

After escaping a considerable distance, they all sighed and breathe lightly.

"What was that?"

The leader of the assassin murmured. But-

"Gah!"

A scream leaps out of one assassin's mouth. A branch has pierced his back and appeared from the front. His heart was stuck at the edge pointy part of the branch.

Seeing the scary scene, all assassin tried to run but.

Surrrrr!

The branches all surrounded them. Like a cage, they trapped the assassin. Only the leader escaped.

He looked at his trapped companions with a dark expression. Shaking his head, he ran. The branches all shrank down, and they touched the assassin's body.

The assassin let out dreadful screams, blood leaked out from the branches. Bones were broken, meat was pressed and in the end, only their powder remained on the river of their blood.

Mori appeared from one tree and looked at the leader. She played with him like how a ghost plays with his victim.

Horror, only horror was in his eyes that didn't believe anything. Tears dripped from his eyes as he peed his pants.

"I didn't sign up for this!"

He cursed.

"No one told me, I would find this scary lady here!"

He shouted. He rushed so faster that he himself didn't know where he was going. Hitting branches, he fell a heck lot of times down and injured himself.

Even if Mori didn't kill him, he would just kill himself with these accidents.

In the end, Mori smiled cruelly at the man like he was a goat that was going to be sacrificed.

*************

You guys see Mori is this scary.

Don't mess with her...
