2022-02-01 08:08:38The massive Pteranodon was gliding and turning towards Flay, running down the hill.
With the forest just below, Flay ran downhill. Thankfully, the Slimes sticky powers allowed him to keep his footing on each step.
“Help me keep my balance!” Flay ordered, and he began to decrease his speed.
“Master, why are you slowing down?”
“Trust me!” Flay answered as he watched the Pteranodon’s massive body assume a landing position.
The strong flap of the Pteranodon’s wings created a massive gust on the hill and the corrosive substance that covered the sides of the hill.
But Flay kept running and was able to keep his foot planted.
The Pteranodon made a huge peck, and Flay suddenly revealed his real speed at the last moment.
BOOM!
The peck missed, and Flay ran towards the forest.
The Pteranodon had landed and roared, and it leaped down and glided, not caring of the dense trees where Flay disappeared too.
CRASH! CRASH! CRASH!
The trees were easily mowed down as the massive wings of the Pteranodon sliced through the forest.
Flay kept running and running, but the Pteranodon was gaining on him.
“Slimey! Follow my lead! Be alert and move to my arms if I reach out and touch it! You also have to move back to my legs quickly!”
“Yes, Master!” The Slime agreed.
The Pteranodon made another peck as it landed, and Flay managed to evade it by stopping. However, because of the Slime, he was able to go to an immediate stop, and the peck of the Pteranodon crashed right in front of him.
Flay ran and jumped as he touched his left arm to his shins. The Slime immediately transferred to Flay’s hand, and Flay used his left arm and his right leg to jump on the large beak of the Pteranodon.
The sticky form of the slime allowed Flay to reach the side and climb towards the back of the beast.
The Pteranodon noticed it and began to shake Flay off.
But Flay kept climbing, changing the Slimes position from his hands to his feet as needed, and managed to remain attached to the Pteranodon.
Finally, Flay reached the top of the massive head of the Pteranodon, and Flay immediately pushed his palm and leg together so that both his foot and his two arms were within the Slime.
“Hold!” Flay ordered, and the Slime began to spread out to increase the area of how it was sticking to the Pteranodon.
The very skin of the Pteranodon was full of dark, acidic properties that began to cause irritations and minor burns to Flay. But Flay kept holding on and ignored the pain.
The Pteranodon began to shake its head angrily, but the slime’s sticky power allowed him to stay.
“Master! We won’t hold on any longer!”
“At my command, let go!” Flay ordered as the beast kept shaking its head. It tried to reach Flay with the claws on the middle of its wings, but it couldn’t reach the top of its head.
In frustration, the Pteranodon decided to bang the back of its head by drooping on its back.
“Now!” Flay pushed and kicked and was thrown off as the Pteranodon was dropping its head back.
Like a rock on a catapult, Flay was thrown further away.
BANG!
The Pteranodon crashed down and began to quickly get up.
Flay flew out towards the forest, and as he was flying towards a tree, he reached his hands out ahead with both close together, reforming the whole slime.
SMASH!
Flay crashed on the tree, but the Slime acted as a cushion that protected his head from slamming into the tree.
The Slime immediately stopped using its sticky form, and Flay slid down.
His hands were ringing with pain, but Flay began to move out.
The Pteranodon was having a hard time standing up, and Flay ran out.
But even as the Pteranodon stood up, it did not fly up but howled angrily and searched nearby.
“Good! Just as planned! I was right! Its mutation is strange! It cannot fly but only glide! That’s why the Path in his home was like a staircase! He was using it to run so that he would glide when he moves up!” Flay ran with excitement.
“Master… That was amazing! The Slime praised.
“I am amazing, dear subject. But we have to hurry! You still have some black energy around you. So that Pteranodon could still find you!”
“Right. We have to flee and get out of its scope! He’s using this dark energy like a beacon. But the fewer energy that remains, the harder it would be to sense me!”
“That’s great! For now, Get back to my feet! I’ve always wanted to move like those Ninja Apprentices of the Kingdom!” Flay laughed.
The slime followed, and with the sticky connection, the slime and Flay began to scale trees swing on branches and move with great speed.
The angry Pteranodon followed the remaining dark energy, but it could not run as fast as possible. It could not pick up speed due to the trees in front of it and gave an angry howl as it retreated back to the hill so that it could glide.
Flay was focused on fleeing, so the slime decided to hold off its questions. He was confused as to who Flay was and how he, the slime, awakened from his long slumber. But as seconds turned into minutes, the Slime was amazed at the talents of Flay.
“He’s quickly adapting to my powers. Never before have I seen such terrifying battle instincts than this boy before me!” The Slime thought deeply. It had served the strongest beings in the universe, and he could gauge potential and power. The Pteranodon was a monster that could kill warriors and experts fighting and killing those who reached the fourth stage of the Rank of Power. But it would take those on the fifth stage, those who were called ‘Great Experts’ or ‘Sage’ to subdue and kill this powerful beast.
“Master… What Ranks of Power have you reached? And what Path have you taken? I can’t tell if you’ve taken the Path of a Brute or the Path of Ability users.”
“How can a Slime like you know of the Ranks of Power and about Paths? I’m at Rookie-6. If it’s Path, then we belong to Taming Hand Ability users. We all cultivate Brute power.”
“A dual cultivation?”
“Dual cultivation? You mean like battle mages?”
“No. Master, what’s the strongest cultivator in your family?”
“I don’t have a family. I’m an orphan.”
“In your village, then.”
“That would be on the next rank. The village chief is an Apprentice-5 Brute Heavy-Weapon user.”
The Slime was amazed. He was well-learned about cultivation and realized that Flay’s heritage and knowledge in cultivation are either weak or flawed. And yet, Flay has shown the amazing talent that survived a beast that those three Ranks of Power higher than him would surely die!
BOOM! BOOM!
Distant booming sounds could be heard, and Flay could see the massive size of the Pteranodon climbing the hill.
“We have to hurry!” Flay raced through the trees and began to move even faster.
Suddenly, Flay a cliff, and at the bottom was a river.
“A river? Hey, Slimey! If we jump in the river, can that Pteranodon still detect you?”
“That’s a brilliant plan, Master! The dark power will be blocked as the water will be full of life essence. The death essence would be masked! It should work!"
“Good!” Flay then jumped down the cliff. He used the Slime to latch on the cliff and let go and grab on the cliff again.
“The river is quite ferocious, Master! Are you sure?” The Slime was surprised to see the white foams from the river's currents.
“Yeah. You float, right? I’ve been through worse. The river I fell into was even more deadly than this. Now, I have an easy flotation monster that can change form.” Flay laughed as he jumped down after confirming the depth of the river.
SPLASH!
Flay held the Slime down underwater and kept himself up.
The Slime acted and immediately enlarged its size and became a small board. Its body was always submerged, and Flay floated on top of it.
With that, Flay began to navigate and would kick, push, or turn the Slime to avoid the rocks and protect himself from the turns and drops of the river.
Unknown to him, the Slime was quickly taking in the energy of the water.
“This dark spell from that beast is hindering my absorption of life essence! There is too little life essence that I can absorb to heal Master!” The Slime secretly complained. He dared not disturb his Master, who was focused on navigating through the dangerous river. Instead, he kept on using whatever life essence he could absorb to heal his Master even though Flay didn’t notice it.
Just like this, the pair traveled downstream for nearly an hour.
At the last curve, Flay could feel that they were approaching the waterfall as his ears could hear a loud crashing sound.
The two immediately left the river.
Flay fell, climbed up on land, and was gasping for breath.
“Is… the dark energy of the Pteranodon still there?”
“A faint energy. But with such great distance, the Pteranodon shouldn’t be able to locate us easily. So we still have to move, Master.” The Slime answered.
Flay sighed and began to lift himself. The scenery before him was a wasteland. There was little vegetation on no trees, but small ponds of water scattered throughout the vast wilderness, and several large hills were present.
Flay cursed as he still couldn’t recognize the land before him. Nor had he heard of it from the Scouting Tamers.
“Turn back into a sword.”
“Yes.” The Slime reformed itself and became a sword.
“Are you sure you can act like my real sword? Why did you have to eat it?”
“It’s my ability. I am confident that I would even be harder and more durable than your sword. And even if I break, I can reform it again.”
“That’s actually… amazing! But you still feel weird to hold.” Flay began to cut out some of the thick leaves nearby.
Flay made a small glove out of the leaves as he tied it around his hand like a bandage.
“Much better.” Flay was now more comfortable as he held on to the handle of the sword.
“We have a lot to talk about, slimey. But let's reserve that for later when we know we are safe. First, we get out of this place!” Flay began to run into the wastelands before him.

The strange wilderness full of ponds and hills was terrifying to Flay. His ears could hear the movements in the waters nearby and avoided the ponds where he was sure there were monsters.Flay kept running and running but maintained silence and peak concentration.Even the Slime dared not ask any more questions but was amazed by the hearing of Flay, which would equal the Brute power users of the third Rank of Power who could enhance their hearing. But after seeing how some creatures emerged from the pond, the Slime realized that Flay was at least twice better than them.“Just who is this master of mine? His identity is even more curious than my own!” The Slime was amazed.Minutes passed as Flay moved further and further away from the river. He had been using the location of the stars and could roughly tell where the direction of his village was and where the Tamers

The massive figure of the Pteranodon cast a huge shadow on the ground that it flew over. Yet despite its massive wings, Flay knew that this dinosaur couldn’t fly but only use its wings to glide over the land. But its size and its powerful strength allowed it to leap and glide over hills.The shadow drew closer and closer, and both Flay and the gator both trembled in fear.But the massive shadow of the Pteranodon flew over them. Flay could see the shadow zoom by. Unexpectedly, they were not its target!BOOM!The Pteranodon landed elsewhere, and Flay couldn’t see it from the jaws of the gator.Flay sighed in relief.“What happened? I thought we goners…!” Flay sighed in relief.“It didn’t attack us? It’s probably this gator! The Death Mark can’t sense me as

“A system?” Flay asked as he heard the term.“Yes. The Eos group known as the Sol were among the strongest members of the Eos. I was bestowed by each of them this power and was ordered to assist a might hero that will rise. They never told me who, but it’s getting more and more obvious that they meant you.”“Me?”“Yes. Your battle instincts allowed you to take a simple ability to stick to stuff and use it to flee a monster that is several Ranks of power greater than you! Not even the heroes that I knew can do what you did!”Suddenly, the gator began to shake as they tried to move around.Flay was stunned as he could feel the gator moving up in the hill.“Stupid gator! It’s moving because it no longer sees the Pteranodon! But I can still hear it!” Flay cursed.

And not just hope, but motivation. He could save his village and lift them out of the cruel injustice and dangers it faced. And it all would start by killing the gator.“So you think that with a sword, my power can reach apprentice swordsman because of my Brute power?” Flay confirmed after hearing Kairo’s various explanations as to why Flay’s strength was not constant.“I’m positive. By the time we reached this pond lands, you already battled across the river, and while I was healing you, it could only do so much because of the Death Mark. Now that the mark has weakened, and my healing abilities have refueled your energy, you should have enough power to kill and stab this gato

Kairo was pondering on the meaning of the vision. Why did he have that vision when he tried to force the power through the mysterious obstruction that stopped him from sending the life essence of the monster core to Flay?What was that vision? His masters talked of Pluton and attacked this person?The logical conclusion was to assume Flay is Pluton.“But that’s impossible! The Eos has the powers of Foreknowledge! They would have known that this Pluton would be here! There must be a deeper mystery!” Kairo began to think and knew that there should be something the Eos had done. Even his awakening was mysterious as it made no sense that he was a slime pool being used by the Pteranodon for whatever reasons.“Kairo? Are you alright?” Flay asked again.Kairo was startled and glanced back to his master. He st

The strange land with many ponds was an unusual place for Flay.The dark of the night was thankfully not a hindrance to Flay, who now could see in the dark with his new strange powers.It had been several minutes since he jumped out of the Pteranodon and sprinted as fast as he could. The creatures had gone into hiding at the appearance of the Pteranodon, and this meant that Flay could make his escape from the region without being detected. And so, Flay bravely traveled through the land, knowing that he could buy himself more time.Using the stars as a guide, Flay began his quick run towards the location of the Camp Site.“The Tamers should still be there! I just hope everyone is safe from the attacks of the Might Wolves!” Flay thought to himself.“Master. We can use the Pteranodon a few more times.” Kairo ad

Kairo began to devour the plants and shrubs that were nearby quickly. It would slowly envelop and digest the plant, and its slime form would change in color. A green coating soon filled it as the leaves of various plants were devoured.But as expected, the Life essence that it got was not even noticeable to Flay when he tried to absorb some.After devouring the second plant, Kairo condensed all the green coating into a small ball. Soon, a large ball was formed, and Kairo spat it out.Flay grabbed the strange green ball. It was slowly starting to melt away.“Mix that into your body, Master. That should hide your scent. It’s plant essence, so it will make you smell like a walking plant. As a result, most monsters should avoid you.”“Great! How about them stamina pills? I need to keep running out of here to avo

The successful plot of Flay led to the angry Pteranodon going after the Midnight Panther, which it saw devour the slime. With an angry Pteranodon chasing the Panther, the entire forest boomed with loud sounds.Flay continued to run through the thick forest, which was now in a state of panic. The booming thunders from the distance and the mighty roar of the Pteranodon could be heard.“Sorry about that. I made you sacrifice quite a bit of your slime. It would take a while for you to recover it, right?” Flay asked.“Yes, Master. I would need to absorb two gators and take all of its energy.”“That much, huh? Sorry. I sort of expected that. But, if the entire concoction that the Pteranodon was brewing was so thick and had several creatures, I knew that a single drop of you would be worth an astronomical value.”

However…” John turned over to Flay.“A cure was brought by this young hero. Flay Eulser. The Slime Tamer!”“Captain. Slime Captain.” Flay tried to correct John, who ignored him.The expressions of many became displeased. It was this boy that brought great trouble to the kingdom with his request to feed the lions.“Is he not the child who fought against Zegwood? The very same that made us sacrifice a hundred of our captured beasts? And for what? Five or six lions?

It became a topic which was scoffed at and the scorn and growing resentment only increased as many more issues of incompetence and lack of foresight appeared from the actions of the Royal Family.The Beastmaster tribe that resided behind the mountain of the capital palace of the Kalenshore Kingdom was especially affected.The divide between the two group

Estelle and Vallenhal were startled at Flay’s comments regarding his current strength.“Rookie-8?” she repeated.“Flay, may I use my magic to scan you?” Estelle asked.“You didn’t even ask the first time we met.” Flay chuckled.Estelle turned red.“I’m... It was...!”“I’m just joking, princess. That was a life-threatening situation.” Flay chuckled.Estelle glared at Flay causing Flay to hide his face.She began to chant the spell and cast the Gauge magic. The bright magic of Gauge began to illuminate the room and surround Flay.A faint red light surrounded Flay and then it dispersed and a violet light remained.“He really has reached Rookie-8!” Estelle was started.“Three levels in a few days… So he really did have an Adept’s strength. Keep this information sealed.” The king ordered everyone around.“It seems you really were a former Adept. But it’s scary to think that even with a Rookies might, you managed to wound Zegwood.

Is this real? That’s like an easy level-up! If all my allies take the poison and my pill, will they also gain such a rank up?”“Master, that is not the case.

Three antidotes that could cure the dangerous poison that was delivered through the most inconspicuous of means.A mosquito had been sent to poison the three generals.It was an ancient magic that made the Chimera’s poison alive.

As for the cure, it would take a very potent poison to counter and kill the poison.But as they went about in feeding and healing, Kairo suggested using an alternative to replace the poisons he used. For within them, was the most potent poison of all.Death.Using the energy of Pluton, Kairo harnessed it and created small pills that contained the Brute force of Flay, and a touch of Flay’s powers.And that was the perfect ingredient that would kill the devouring Brute poison that grew within the three generals.

A vast amount of food was being delivered into the mountains behind the kingdom. Towards the hiding place of the Beastmaster Tribe, carts full of meals were being brought in. It was a surprising command that confused many in the kingdom. Beast meat from the stocks was all brought out. All they knew, was that there was a move to feed the many hungry lions. But what caused a commotion within the tribe of Beastmasters was the decision to bring in all the aggressive untamed beasts to be fed to the lions! Many among the beast masters complained even to the point that they were shouting at the tribe leader. The chief claimed that it was beneficial to provide a layer of goodwill to the lions. Darwood had appeared with the Vagrant Lion, which he had wanted from the start. Estelle also had another lion. But apart from them, the rest of the lions did not come out.
