Chapter 628: The Slime That Stalked The Dragon Part 2

"What!?" Kana frowned. She didn"t understand why were all these supposed horrific demonic beasts always pleading for their lives when she says she is going to eat them. Were they not supposed to put up some kind of grand battle and, in the end, go: "It seems I lost this battle! Do with me as you please…" Before taking their last breaths? 

"I said please don"t eat me!" The slime begged as it began to take on a new shape. What appeared in Kana"s vision was not the slime one would normally know but a slime girl who was around sixteen to eighteen years of age. She was currently prostrating herself in front of Kana with her head pressed against the tree branch. 

Kana frowned even more. "Why does it feel like I"m some kind of evil person? Were you not the one who was planning on trying to eat me first!?"

"I…" The slime couldn"t argue with Kana as it was true that she did plan to eat Kana. "It"s true that I did plan to eat you. But I failed.. As such… I am willing to become your contracted beast."

"Contracted beast?" Kana wondered if this was the same as having a contract with an elemental. In a way, slimes were kinda like elementals in a way. But only in the shape of a lower level elemental, where the body shape resembled a young male or female but with none of the goods.

"Yes! I am willing to form a master-slave contract with you if you are willing to allow me to live. I am more than just an ordinary slime. I also have healing properties! I can excrete a kind of slime that is able to heal wounds. It is able to bring any living thing back from the brink of death." The slime quickly explained. It was begging for its life. It did not plan to hold anything back. "I can also restrain other demonic beasts up to a rank three divine beast!"

Kana looked at the slime, who had finally looked up, and was shocked to see that she was actually quite cute, but this madeKanaa realize something. Ever since she came to this world all the people have been…. Very good looking! She sighed and scratched her head. She had to admit that having some extra help while she was this deep in the forest was not a bad idea. 

"You should do it. If the slime is truly able to restrict even rank three divine beasts, it has to be at least a rank four divine beast itself." The wor-caterpillar on Kana"s shoulder replied.

"Hmmm… Wait… If the slime is able to restrain rank three divine beasts, then why is it doing this?" Kana asked, her question causing the slime to suddenly freeze. Kana looked at the slime, who suddenly looked away and felt something was seriously off. "Are you lying to me!?"

The slime quickly shook its head. "No! I"m not lying! I…" The slime bit its lower lip and pouted as it continued: "I was kicked from my clan. They said I was a good for nothing…" The slime finally admitted.

"Your clan? Slimes have clans!?" Kana was shocked. She had no idea slimes were that advanced!

Seeing Kana becoming interested, the slime quickly explained. "Slimes are ancient spirit beasts. We are born from the spiritual qi in the air that is condensed of many different kinds of elements. When my ancestors first became divine beasts and took on a human shape, they became able to reproduce. Although not in the way other animals do. By reproduce, I mean, we break off a part of our body, only a small part that is nothing more than a small slime. Those slimes are born as divine beasts and, after ranking up a few times, can take on human form. It"s just that my clan says I am trash as I am only a rank four divine beasts even after a few hundred years. But it"s not my fault. I never get any resources ever since my mother disappeared. She went out one day to break through to become a deity beast but never returned…" 

Kana could see the slime was getting gloomy and scratched her head. She did not think slimes had such a complicated family system. Were they not just some low level trash mob made for newbies to level up on? But here, this slime says she was actually supposed to be pretty strong.

"So you do not wish to go back to your clan and do not wish to be alone. So now that you were caught by this pretty miss, you decided to latch on to her as your new companion even if it meant being her slave?" The little caterpillar asked. It seemed to have understood the situation well. For a stupid bug, it was pretty smart.

"I…" The blue gelatin cheeks of the slime began to turn pinkish as it nodded its head. It truly did not wish to be alone anymore.

Kana started to feel bad for this slime, but her stomach quickly woke up from that. She was truly hungry! "I can get you food!" The slime saw that the look inKana"ss eyes was starting to revert to before and panicked.  "I can bring you back some food so you can eat your fill!" 

Kana"s eyes lit up as she said: "If you bring me food, we can do the contract thingy. But I want meat!"

The slime quickly stood up and nodded.  "I will bring you something back right away!"

"Alright, I will wait here. By the way, what"s your name?" Kana asked.

"It"s ako;jdqao;wiejwiopdjqwidjqiopwdiofhpefh." ako;jdqao;wiejwiopdjqwidjqiopwdiofhpefh answered.

Kana"s mind went blank for a second before answering: "Ako, it is then…" 

The slime nodded and quickly ran off. The caterpillar looked up atKanaa and asked: "What if it never comes back?"

"Then so be it. If I get too hungry I will just eat you. So pray she comes back."
