Chapter 138: The Slime Devours...
Azmond observed such a frantic reaction from the black slime before he pointed at his similarly black-colored ring with a puzzled expression.
"Do you want this ring or something inside of the ring?"
"Mhmu!"
It spoke in an incomprehensible manner.
"Oh. I see. You want something inside the ring, huh? Let me take everything out of it then."
A manner that Azmond immediately understood...
Following his words was the swift motion of his hands swiping down in the air before a large assortment of various items flew out of his ring.
Stuff kept on flowing out of his storage ring until it looked like an entire mountain would be created just from the vast amount of 'treasure' inside.
He liked to call it 'treasure', but most of it was just useless garbage that he picked up while taking out a few Goblin, Kobold, Troll, and Draconian encampments.
There really were items inside his storage ring that could be considered 'treasure'; however, those were few and far between, as he had only been able to acquire such rare items from the 'Troll Kingdom', one of the 'Goblin Kingdoms', and a 'Draconian Kingdom' that he had to take out as part of his quest.
All of those quests led to him taking out 3 small monster kingdoms within a single day!
.......
The black slime immediately bounced up from its spot and jumped toward the massive pile of 'treasure', seemingly looking for something.
After a few seconds of searching, as 'treasure' was thrown all over the place by its slime extensions, it finally looked like it had found one of the things it was looking for.
That something being a
Monster corpse?
It picked up a draconian monster corpse with its slime-extended 'hands'.
The 'draconian monster' was just what Azmond called the bipedal lizard-looking creatures that wandered around a supposed 'Draconian Kingdom'. These particular species of Draconian soldiers were burnt-brown in color, with faces that closely resembled that of the Drake he had taken out earlier.
Their faces were very 'dragon'-like, except for the fact that they lacked the majesty that the Drake had.
The majority of these types of creatures that he met were simply mindless killing machines with nothing on their minds except murder. However, there were a few dozen more intelligent draconian soldiers that were far bigger than the vast majority of the ones he had killed.
These 'general' and 'elite' type draconian soldiersas he dubbed themhad around the intelligence of the 'Goblin King' he had killed a while back.
They weren't particularly smart, but they were still intelligent enough to know that they were about to die when Azmond invaded their kingdom and witnessed them r*ping and devouring humanshumans that they caught from the neighboring human settlements and villages that lay at the periphery of the Great Wildlands Forest.
He had actually learned a few things from the draconian soldiers that he 'kindly' interrogated. One of those things being that he was situated quite close to the edge of the Extreme East of the Great Wildlands Forest.
This piece of information was quite useful for him, so he gave the draconian soldiers that 'helped him out' a 'quick' death.
......
In the middle of a dimly lit altar a few hundred meters in diameter, a man and slime (along with a koala) were present. The man watched the slime with rapt attention as he waited for something spectacular to happen!
And happen it did as the black slime picked up one of the largest draconian soldier corpses that Azmond had stored inside of his storage because of their higher intelligence.
This specific one had a dark black hide with long, spiraling horns on its lizard head. Its size was around 20 feet, as it could be interpreted as a lizard subspecies of giant if an unsuspecting mortal caught sight of such a 'terror-inducing' monster.
However, to Azmond, it was nothing more than a potential meal that he was planning to roast later
And it seemed like he wasn't the only one with such voracious avarice embedded in their beings, as the black slime did something unexpected
** Mhmuuu!! **
Its signature sound echoed out across the dimly lit altar, which had a mountain of 'treasures' at its center.
Following such a proclamation was the sight of Emu opening up a gaping black mouth before devouring the entire draconian corpse in one swift movement.
"..."
The bafflement Azmond felt when he saw the seemingly innocent-looking slime open up its small body to a size that could easily devour a 20-foot-wide creature like it was no big deal was unfounded!
His raspy voice soon followed such astonishment as a wry smile emerged on his face.
"It looks like I found myself quite the voracious little buddy, huh"
He walked up to Emu after it had completely devoured the giant draconian soldier.
His hands reached out as he swooped up the black slime in one quick motion. He proceeded to look at Emu with a kind smile before he pointed at the large pile of 'treasures' below them.
"I know something even quicker to get all the good draconian corpses if you're still hungry even after all that. Would you like me to do it?"
"Mhmu! Mhmu!"
His inquisitive words were followed up by Emu jumping up and down while seemingly begging him to do it right away!
An imperceptibly devious smile appeared on his face before he lifted up his hand. His two 'companions' were glued to him, with two different yet similar sensations being transmitted to him...
The jelly-like things touching him from both sides were nothing short of Divine!
He wouldn't deny that it was a feeling that could only be described as 'Heavenly', and he wouldn't mind staying in such a position for the rest of his life
.......
Azmond used the power of spacewhich he had gained a minuscule amount of control overto lift up the massive pile of 'treasures' before quartering off the massive draconian corpses that he had 'picked' up from the Draconian Kingdom.
The draconian corpses subsequently floated over to his position before landing in front of his body with a loud thud!
