5 Slimes

Chapter 5: Slimes

Knowing the situation in the Forest didn't make Draco happy at all, After all, Goblins and the other Humanoid Monsters aren't the only danger, Wolves, Spiders and other monsters like a strange two-headed black hound that roams the forest endlessly are more of a hassle.

'This Forest is dangerous, I must plan my steps carefully and cautiously.' He thought aloud.

"Hmm... System, do you have a Map Function?" He said, after all he didn't know everything the system could offer.

[Affirmative, Host.]

"Good, show it to me and mark the locations of the slimes and similar weak monsters according to the memories devoured for me, and if possible it should be a relatively safe location with a hideout and a source of water nearby." He commanded as he contemplated.

The memories proved to be more useful than he thought.

[Very well, Host]

an instant later, a map panel appeared in his field of vision, it was initially zoomed out with a large section blacked out with occasional beelines that he knew were the wolf's visited areas. There were also some villages he supposed were the Goblins' and other monsters'.

then the map zoomed in for a few seconds and a location with a big tree appeared, the area around it was more empty compared to others but it wasn't an uncommon sight on the map.

[This area is where the slimes generally live, it is about a 3-minute run for you, then 30 seconds away from it is a long river with a straight line that is visible in the entirety of the unlocked map.]

"Oh, that's good, let's get going." Without delay, Draco ran non-stop till he was able to see the area the system talked about.

'Oof, that was close, I nearly encountered two goblin groups in the way.' he wiped his face as he thought while slightly perspiring.

[Quest Issued!]

"Ooh! That's cool! It even comes with a Shelter Protection, That's broken!" Draco's Joy knew no bound he almost shouted out loud.

"Hehe, Now I got motivated! Look at those blue and bouncy balls of slime with their cute eyes and round mouths. Daddy is gonna Devour you!" a wide smirk appeared on Draco's face, his evil nature from his racial trait immediately took over, if he still had his right arm he would have started rubbing his hands together.

"System Analysis." He hid behind a tree very close to the slimes as he analyzed the slimes;

[Roger!]

[<-------------------- >]

"Oh... Those are some pitiful stats..." Draco squinted his eyes in contemplation.

'How can it be? Even level 1 Goblins should be stronger than this, does this have something to do with the bloodline or race?' he thought.

[Affirmative host, F-Rank Races start with 1 in each stat while also having some Lesser Enhancements, and that is Multiplied by 5 for every subsequent Rank. So for Example E-Rank Races like Goblins start with 5 in every stat.]

"Oh... That's truly unfair!" He said.

Then he looked at the slimes and got ready to pounce.

"Let's Go!" He shouted as he ran at the slimes head-on, So much for a cautious fella, and he came to regret it soon enough.

"Haaaa!" As he ran to the closest slime, and then he realized.

'How will I kill them?' He had no sword, no weapon at all, even his arm was amputated; he only has one left.

Then he had an idea.

The bouncy little creature took its time to notice that a demonic red imp was coming to take its life, by the time it noticed a small red foot was right in front of it.

"Shoooto!" Draco shouted as he kicked the slime like a ball.

*Squish*

A funny sound was heard as the blue slime was launched for a good distance until it hit the tree and slowly slid down.

"Goaaaal!" Draco shouted again.

"Did it die?" he wondered.

Unfortunately for him, the slime didn't die.

he analyzed it again.

<HP: 14 30 Injured, Scared....>

"What? that's ridiculous! System, didn't you say the recommended level was 5, and shouldn't I be able to one-shot it, at this rate it will be hard to kill 56 of them." He asked.

[Affirmative Host, The Recommended Level is 5, However, your stats are unbalanced, leading to your current difficulty.]

"Hmm... I see, well, I will deal with this somehow." And then he dashed to the nearest slime.

"Shooto." *Squish* "Shooto!" *Squish* "Haa!" *Squish*

Slime after Slime, he didn't stop as he rapidly shot 6 Slimes to the tree.

"Phew, That was satisfying!" he said.

However, his joy was short-lasting as shortly something slightly sharp hit his back.

[-1 HP... 35/36]

"What's this?" He scratched his back to alleviate the pain as he looked behind him.

and There right below was a small slightly pointed rock.

Draco looked up and he was surprised to see all the slimes looking at him with cute angry eyes with rocks in their stomachs ready to be launched from their Mouth-Rockets.

"No one told me slimes were this fierce!" Draco was slightly intimidated as he took two steps back.
