Moonquest: A Journey To The Stars-Chapter 44: Don Slime

Krakoom!

A loud explosion sounded from behind them, interrupting their moment. A large shadow emerged from behind the trees, growing bigger bit by bit, until the owner appeared right before them.

"Food...Yum...Yum..."

A large slime, glowing with all sorts of colours (like that of a rainbow), emerged from the shadows. Donning a wooden crown, the slime menacingly rolled across the ground, eating everything in its path.

"Help me!"

Running away from it was a small boy, carrying a baby strapped on his shoulder. Fear was evident in his eyes, hands shaking with hopelessness. Just before the slime got to him, he spotted his saviour.

"Please help me! Save me from Don Slime!"

Holy shit, what kind of slime is that!?

Lewis was already surprised by the sheer size of the damn thing, but now? These skills are enough to make it a formidable foe for those ag the same tier as it, let alone him, a lone tier-1 Mechanical Engineer. Wiping off the sweat from his head, he dragged Goblina into the bushes, hiding themselves using his new device:

Item: Blanket of Secrets

Tier: 1

Grade: Perfect

Description: A failed attempt at creating a cloak of invisibility. Upon covering yourself with it, the cloak can reflect the surrounding light to create a pseudo-invisible state, making you seem almost invisible if you don't move.

Remark: Who d'you think you are, Harry Potter! Try building something original for once, you shit for brains!

Eyes twitching, Lewis ignored the snide remarks once more, covering himself. Goblina opted to stay out (men and women should not stay with one another, if you know what I mean...).

With cold eyes, they watched as Don Sliem slowly cornered the child, stifling hope bit by bit until the only thing that remained in the boy's eyes was despair. Lewis had no choice but to ignore it, for he knew it was just an illusion, a thing that had already been in the past.

But some didn't think so...

Biting her lips, Goblina hesitated, struggling deep in her heart. This lasted for a long time, during which the boy was hoisted in the air, the slime enjoying its torment on its food.

She made up her mind.

Without further hesitation, she bolted from the bush. Feeling the rush of air, Lewis turned his head, only to see an empty space where the little Goblin once was.

"Get back here you little runt, you'll get killed!"

Unable to see her fly towards her heat, Lewis reloaded his Gatling crossbow, launching arrows straight at the slime king. Although they did not do harm to it, it did cause a distraction...

Long enough for Goblina to launch a red vial.

"Duck!"

With that, a large explosion sounded from behind them.
