Beast Evolution

Ray thought hard about what he could do, even if he attacked the two guarding the portal he wasn't sure if he could win. 𝑓𝐫𝑒e𝒘𝚎𝘣𝚗𝘰𝘷𝐞𝑙.co𝑚

He decided to wait and watch their movement, after half an hour, the knights and mages who went into the forest came back, "ohh! hunting, I see" Ray looked at the Knights who came back with deer, rabbits, and other edible animals.

Ray creep closer towards them so he could hear what they were saying. "fire the signal we are going back" one of the Knight said, Ray saw a mage whispering something and from her hands, a red light shot out to the sky.

Within minutes, all the other Knight and mages came back including the summoner, Ray was glad that they didn't notice his presence at all.

When they all arrived, they began to exit through the portal one at a time, Ray knew that if they left he would stay another week time or maybe more before he would find humans again, so he made his decision.

When the last mage got through the portal, Ray dashed forward with speed before they would close the portal and got through.

Ray slipped and fell as he entered the portal, "Beast" someone shouted with a loud voice, all the mages and knights turned back and saw Ray standing up.

Shing!!

They all readied their weapons and the mages stretch their hands to cast their spells, the summoner didn't do anything and just stood there watching what would happen.

Ray quickly stood up and put his hands in the air, "what is it doing" one of the knights said, "hi guys am friendly" Ray said to them. "so it can talk, high level beast stay alert" the knight in center shouted and then the portal at the back of Ray closed.

"No where to run," the knight said, Ray made an attempt to move forward but stopped, two mages already launched a fireball spell towards Ray, he quickly picked up his little wolf and jumped sideways to dodge the fireball.

The fireball passed Ray with a whizzing sound and the knight in Ray's back blocked the fireball with their shield, Ray dashed towards them before they could look at him he used their shield as his foot mat and jumped over them.

"Attack" all the mages and knights chased Ray as he dashed forward even though he didn't know where he was heading, "shit, I didn't think this through," Ray said as he ran with his pet in his hands.

Ray soon saw a forest within view, he increased his speed and dashed towards the forest, "he getting away" the knights shouted as they chased after him. He turned his back to see how close they were, "they wouldn't get to me" Ray smiled as he ran into the forest.

The knights stopped in front of the forest, Ray didn't hear their footsteps again, Ray saw a white light where the knights were and immediately noticed some movement, a black wolf emerged from the bushes.

Ray started running once again but this time faster, the wolf was very fast as it closed the distance between him and ray. "Woah, arrrg" Ray shouted as he fell down into a hole with his pet.

He caught his wolf in mid air and braced for the landing.

*Boom*

Ray landed with a loud thud, "Argh!" his body screamed with pain, he struggled to sit up, and when he did. He looked up and sigh heavily, he knew there was no way he could go back.

But where was he, he looked around and the familiar environment brought back memories, he was in a dungeon!.

The wolf returned back to the summoner and she touched its head and it disappeared, "he fell down" she said to the leading knight, "fell down where?" the knight asked.

"The slime dungeon, where the king slime is," the summoner said and walked back to the village, "he's dead let's go, he can't survive against the slime king," the leading knight said and all the knights retreated.

Ray looked around as he walked forward in the dungeon, this dungeon was slightly darker than the ones before, but with his night vision, he could see clearly.

Then the system prompt came in

Medium level dungeon

Boss: King slime

Quest(s) received

Boss: Defeat dungeon boss

Reward: New skills (random)

Defeat: Defeat 2 evolved slimes

Reward: 300 Exp

Ray looked at the system interface, the dungeon boss caught his eyes and he wondered how the king slime would be. 'No time to think, first I need to look around' Ray said inwardly as he moved forward slowly.

After a few minutes of walking, Ray found a slime. "Let's finish this quickly", he removed his spear and rushed toward the slime.

Swoosh!!

He didn't even let the slime react as he pierced the slime's jelly body, his spear passed right through the slime's body.

"Woah!" Ray muttered as he jumped backward, the slime was green in color and a crystal orb was visible within the slime, it has two eyes with no arms or legs. Ray knew that the only way to kill a slime was to destroy the core or use magic but that was in games.

He wasn't sure if it would work but he has to try, and besides, he has no magic so he would go for the core.

"I need to destroy the crystal or remove it from the slime's body, the latter seems impossible," Ray said as he rushed toward the slime, the slime shot a fast green sticky substance but Ray manages to evade it at the last minute.

"what was that" he stopped to look at the green substance and discovered that it was acid and had melted the wall it touched.

"That bad" Ray muttered as he faced the slime more seriously this time, from the ground two more slimes emerged and joined the first one.

"Three on one, bad match up against me, now I wished I had magic," Ray said as he looked at his wolf at the back who took a battle stance and wanted to fight against the slime.
