[Slime]
Slimes - also commonly called ooze - are common types of monsters in many dungeons. True to their name, they don't usually have any distinct shape and appear as large masses of gelatinous fluid. Slimes and oozes vary between mediums, with some being intelligent and capable of assuming basic shapes with others being nothing more than brainless piles of goo that dissolve whatever matter becomes enveloped by their bodies.
Slime can evolve into elemental type slime which will have different effects. So far humans have only encountered 8 types of slime. Those types are….

Edgar: 'GOTCHA'
Subconsciously he was in joy because his jaws closed on the proboscis of this butterfly. preventing it from piercing through his body.
Edgar: 'It's trying to escape my jaws! but it will never happen.'
Even though Pafoots aren't strong at attacking and dealing damage. It doesn't mean they don't have a strong body. Padfoot's jaws are similar to Grift turtle jaws and Its bite was around 70 kg and some say up to 200 kg in his previous world. However, Pafoot bites are at least twice as strong. Currently, Edgar is a newborn so his bites aren't that strong however it will take lots of effort to get out of the bite. The butterfly got even more furious because it couldn't pull its proboscis out of Edgar's jaw.
Edgar ' If I can't climb to you, then you will come down to me!'
With this thought, Edgar used nearly all his strength to jerk that butterfly off the wall.
However, the butterfly used that jerk to her advantage and jumped at the same time to give it more momentum.
Edgar: '!!!'
Edgar 'Fine let's see how well you fight without your proboscis'
When both creatures were about to collide. Edgar used his jaw to its full potential and managed to bite through its proboscis, biting it off. The loss of the proboscis led to incredible pain, because of which the butterfly Couldn't aim the strike properly. It was originally aimed at hitting Edgar in the middle of the head, but then the blow shifted to the side and left a deep cut on Edgars left eye. Lucky for him he still could see, but the blood covered his vision.

HP - 32
Hp - 68/100
Edgar froze for a few seconds and this led to the fact that the butterfly had time to swing again.
Edgar: 'The head and The neck are one of the weakest spots of Pafoot. It's not hard to protect them but her attacks are strange. Is it some sort of skill?'
*Ding*

Just before Edgar was slashed by one of the sickles, He turned to expose his back.

Edgar: ' It's time to surprise it'
3rd Pov
while it may look like a butterfly-like creature is dominating the fight because of her sharp-sickles-like front legs. The Pafoot isn't running but instead fighting It. The butterfly did 2 more strikes which weren't effective in any way.
*Chak**Chak*
Because they just bounced off. It started to become even more furious and was about to attack again but stopped because of the pafoot action. This little creature used its small tail and legs to stand up while trying to put its front hands as wide and as high as it could.
Butterfly: '....'
Butterfly: "kykykykyky"
This little action made butterflies laugh. What was This pafoot doing? trying to intimidate or make her flee from this battle? She couldn't believe what she was seeing.
Butterfly: 'Is he trying to threaten me, I'm the apex predator on this current level. And still, he managed to hurt me, the stupid low level-mob wounded me by ripping my prophetic. Don't worry, I'll make sure you will suffer.'
With that thought, the butterfly launched itself at Edgar.
Edgar's pov
Edgar: 'Heh I guess I managed to provoke it. Come closer
It took only a few seconds for the butterfly to shorten the distance and was about to swing. She was purposely aiming at his left hand.
When the distance between them was just a few centimetres. Edgar decided to act. He quickly turned using his shoulder plate as a shield and allowed the hit to collide with it. But his movement didn't end there, he continued to use momentum to keep spinning and redirected the butterfly strike to the floor, making her neck exposed to his strike.
Not giving a chance for the butterfly to return to her senses from the failed attack, he launched his jaws to its neck.
*crunch*
Butterfly: "Reeeeeeeee"
Through the caves of the dungeon, one could hear an ear tearing screen from the butterfly. She started bucking up and down trying to escape a deadly jaw grip around its neck. Edgar felt warm blood flowing into his mouth and for some reason couldn't resist swallowing and sucking it.
Edgar 'It's so sweet'
*Ding*
HP - 8
Hp - 59/100
Hp - 73/100
Stamina 24/24
Shield 40/40
At that moment Edgar's passive activated healing him and giving him a shield allowing him to forget about dodging her strikes if she escaped somehow.
Edgar: 'Not so tough now, are we'
He couldn't tell how much hp this butterfly has but he knew it wasn't long until it would die.
The butterfly was trying to escape with all her strength, she twitched her body but couldn't escape the jaw of Edgar. Every minute or even seconds she grew weaker, 1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes. She gave out the last effort to at least wound Edgar by striking her sickles through her own body. But, she only found despair because of the shield on Edgar's body which prevented damage. Edgar looked at her with respect for using all she could and fought till the end.
Edgar: '...'
Edgar: 'I guess she lost all her strength and will die in any second.'
With that thought, he realized his jaw and the butterfly's body-slammed to the floor.
Edgar: 'I should check that place where she did that strike'
He quickly stumbled to the monolith and looked behind one of the crystals and found lots of blood on the floor.
Edgar: 'So there was another creature down here.'
Edgar: 'Why does it smell so familiar.'
He quickly picked around the corner. But what he saw made him feel guilty.
Edgar: 'I guess I wasn't the only one to who tried to hide in these crystals'
*Ding*

Butterfly's pov
Butterfly: ' Why, why, why, why, why, why, WHY is that thing stronger than me. ME who was reincarnated and given more benefits than others as well as the blessing of a quick learner from my goddess… Just how did I lose to him.'
Butterfly: ' It could've been lucky to deflect my attack. No, he just knew how to do it even before meeting me. Then he might be reincarnated just like me. I should have asked for an appraisal or status check.'
Butterfly: ' It's too late to regret spilt milk. I need to get stronger and I will certainly pay a visit to that parrot... Later, for now, I should rest.'
With that taught she quickly crawled into the hall and started to wait for her wound to cover up.
Edgar's pov
Edgar: 'Why did I even bother to take you with me. I wouldn't be asking this stupid question to my self if you were a member of my race.'
Edgar: ' You might be useful to me later, especially when you evolve. I hope you will be able to learn some buffs or support skills.'
Edgar: ' Or otherwise you might be *trained* by me every day until you get strong and you will be able to fight by my side.'
He kept stumbling up the hill, back to his sweet home, his wonderful and comfortable cave.

Cristal absorption [0/20]
Edgar ignored the dinging noise in his head and kept stumbling forward.
Edgar: 'Home sweet home. Now, where should I live you to rest.'
He let the body fall out of his jaws and went outside to get some moss which he saw growing on the rocks.
He kept going back and he stumbled back and forth until he got moss for both of them to sleep comfortably.
Edgar: 'Time to eat some crystals and try something out.'
Edgar: ' I found that I can roll up like an armadillo. So the question is can I roll?'
He went to the entrance of his home and tried to roll into the ball which failed at first. It took him 28 tries to make a perfect ball.
Then he tried to run and roll.
*Ding*
[Roll LVL - 1]
Edgar 'Well I guess it was worth it because now I don't need to go down the hills and can just roll'
He used his new skill and went rolled down the cave. It took him less time to get to the crystal cave section. Yet he didn't rush to eat and looked carefully at the floor.
Edgar: 'Somebody was here'
Edgar: 'I should follow the footprints and see what creature decided to live next to me'
Edgar: 'Nah, I'm too tired to try and find it in this cave.'
He stumbled to the first cristal he saw and started to bite it. Eventually breaking it into small pieces.
Edgar: ' This one was way harder than the last one I ate'
Edgar: 'If my theory is correct, I might get more Exp for a different type of crystals in these caves,'
With that thought, he rolled back to his cave and went to one of the corners where he left moss. He wasn't going to sleep like he usually does because now he is in one of the most dangerous environments.
Edgar: 'I need to adapt myself to wake up to any noise or vibration.'
Edgar looked left for a long period of time before rolling up and going to sleep.
Edgar: 'I hope you will get better tomorrow.'
