Evolution of Slime to Peak

"Shina, I need defense!"

"Jen, I need a shield here!"

The group of adventures asked each other for help as they dealt with the slimes. The teenager's slimes were bigger in size, so they were a little harder to kill.

The swordsman, Lin, swung his sword at the slime and killed it in one strike. Another slime jumped at him and tried to hit him but the defense barrier created by Shina protected him.

Lin swung his sword again and killed the jumping slime.

Like that, Jin covered Tina's back with his shield as one slime jumped at her. She immediately stung her arrow in the bow and shooter at the slime far back. Her arrow pierced the slime's skin and destroyed its core.

Jin blocked the attack with his shield and stabbed the slime with his spear, KOing it in one hit.

The squad dealt the slime easily, as no one was even scratched up to the battle now.

Ren, on the other hand, woke up after ten minutes. But for him, it felt like a long time. Not having a sense of time is difficult, or so he complained in his heart.

Swung! Swoosh!

Sounds of swinging swords, and firing arrows, rang outside the door. Feeling curious, Ren crawled near the door ignoring his condition.

He opened the door a little and peeked through it.

People wearing armors and carrying weapons killing the slimes came into Ren's view. Excitement aside, he felt the threat.

He killed the boss slime, so the next boss would be him. And he deduced from their fighting skill, that they weren't trying their best. At most, they were like practicing.

Ren didn't know if he could defeat them or not, and he didn't even know if he could communicate with them in the first place.

Also, trying that would be foolish. If they didn't listen and directly tried to kill him, wouldn't that be a waste.

He jumped up and stick to the ceiling near the door to avoid the adventurers. Then he looked at the skills, that he gained from killing the boss slime and from evolution.

[Scatter: Separate the body into different parts. (Extra effect: Can jump the consciousness from one body to another.) Time Limit: 10 minutes]

[Evolution from Child Slime to Teenage Slime (Evolution Skill): Spike: Create spikes from the skin. Harder and sharper than real spikes. Time Limit: 5 minutes]

[(Evolution Skill): Small Store: Can store things limited to things of limited size inside your body.]

"Wow. These skills are quite good."

Ren sighed in relief at getting an offensive skill.

Creak!

Unlike previously when the door opened automatically, this time the group opened the door and the creaking sound reverberated. Ren guard raised as he turned his body into liquid and stick to the ceiling.

The group of adventurers bloomed in slime while walking inside. But when they saw the state of the room, their eyes widen.

"What the hell? Where did the boss of this dungeon go?" Lin asked searching the dungeon. His eyes scanned the room like a hunter searching for his prey.

"Look at the state of the room, it seems like someone has killed it early," Shina said looking at the small puddle of blue liquid on the ground.

She touched the liquid and gasped in surprise. "This is the remains of the boss slime."

Hearing that, Tina frowned. "Someone came and killed the boss... But how did it pass through the slime?"

"Hmm, this is quite mysterious."

Jin put his hand on his chin.

While clearing a dungeon, killing every monster inside the dungeon is necessary. Just killing the boss monster won't do.

Even if they killed the boss, the dungeon won't restart. Meaning, that the slime will continue doing their work and the boss room will be empty.

As long as every monster inside the dungeon is killed, the dungeon will go through a restoration....

Anyway, the group of adventurers looked at the crime scene and sighed.

"Well, no point in thinking now," Lin said.

" I can't think at all. My brain cell is paining." Tina complained.

"I am not a brain guy. So, I can't think of the answer." Jen crossed his arm and separated from the discussion.

"You are just a muscle head. We don't need your tiny brain here. Anyway, let's go out. I am tired from all the fighting we did." Shina stretched her arms.

"Ok, let's go."

Jin announced and exited the room. They didn't think that there will a monster sticking on the ceiling at all.

Monsters are low intelligence, so they didn't waste their brain cells thinking if monsters planned a trap or not.

Ren on the other hand listened to their conversation and slowly crawled outside the room. He followed the group quietly.

As they reached the exit of the dungeon, Ren separated his body using Scatter. He made a small piece of himself and attached it to his leg of Lin.

He didn't want to risk his chance of exiting the dungeon. What if there was a barrier blocking his way, but if they could pass through the dungeon, could he pass with them?

And the answer was, yes.

He passed through the barrier easily and jumped at the nearest tree he saw.

The group didn't notice the slime.

Ren crawled upward the tree, and again transport his consciousness to the body inside the dungeon.

This time, he tried to go out with the huge body. But...

Diiinnn!

He hit the barrier. Ren sighed and again his consciousness came back to the small slime, the size of a drop of water.

As the time of the skill expired, his body glowed. His body regrew again, and he felt exhausted. His body returned back to its formal form and he fell asleep due to the energy consumed in regrowing his body.
