What would happen if I absorbed him? Wouldn't I get a voice and a face?
I am sorry Mister crazy slime,
Today is your unlucky day...
I began to walk towards him.
There was only a 20 meter gap between us. We both stopped at the same time.
Each of us observed each other, before making our preparations.
I looked at him. My [all seeing eyes] didn't work before... I am guessing it is because this guy is too strong.
I had to understand 'how strong'.

What the hell is up with these stats. Even his weakest stats are stronger that my strongest stats! And these skills?
Why are they so freaking broken!
The will to fight was rekindled in my mind.
This was the type of opponent that I longed to fight! A huge wall that I will surpass!
Silence filled the room.
We stared at each other. I looked at his human like face and he looked at my blank featureless face.
[LET'S BEGIN!] we both shouted at the same time, as if in sync.
We both charged at each other.
I concentrated Iron skin on my knuckles before clenching my fingerless hands into a fist.
I pulled back and met his fist in the middle.
But the harsh resistance that I expected did not happen. Instead my fist went through his slimy body, cutting him in half.
Hahaha! That was so easy. So much for being a tough slime to defeat!
My thoughts were interrupted by a sudden sharp pain on the back of me head.
I was launched into the air and crashed a hundred meters away on the crystal walls of the cavern.
'You are still inexperienced. Did you really think that you could defeat me that easily?'
My body ached.
It pained.
[Host is at critical health. Host is in need of immediate support!]
Yeah... I think I know system.
Damn... I really overestimated myself. I forgot that this isn't some monster that fights purely on instincts. It is a monster that has lived and trained for a long time.
I slowly started to analyse what had just happened.
I remember that I split him apart.
I looked at him. He was standing there, looking fine.
I get it... it must be that [split] ability that he has... He must have pretended to be split in half, before joining back together and punching me in the back, which caught me off guard and ended up causing me to take on critical damage.
Smart...
I slowly got up.
But that doesn't matter...
[Overlord has leveled up! [Overlord level 1 -> 2]]
I felt a sudden change inside of me, as something clinked into place. A black colored aura slowly started to seep out of my skin, covering me gently.
I slowly raced my hands up.
What the hell is this.
I tried to feel the aura, but it was intangible.
Interesting...
By now 'crazy slime' had started to race towards me, with his fists clenched. Damn, he is fast... really fast...
I saw that the fist was covered by a metallic coating, similar to iron skin, but different at the same time.
I know that if I get hit by that I am dead...
So he was just playing with me before. He is serious now...
'Prepare to die, kid.'
Damn... Here goes nothing.
I concentrated the black aura onto my hand, before covering my hand with iron skin, causing the iron skin to take on a black shade.
I used the wall as a launching pad and launched myself at the crazy slime.
Our two fists met. This time, I felt a fierce resistance. His fist was incomparably hard.
What the hell is this guy's [Iron skin] level?
Our fists continued to meet, as I continued to punch out as hard as I could.
[Overlord has activated. Iron skin has leveled up!]
I felt the pressure on my hands go down.
Our hands split apart.
'For a newly born slime, you are impressive. I had to work hard for 20 years to get to this point! I don't believe that a kid that has just been born is able to beat me!'
He then began to barrage me with punches and kicks, each punch deadly.
The first punch aimed at my head. I dodged barely using my [instincts].
I could feel my blood boiling as I saw the fist going past me.
I would have died if that hit me.
But I can't help but feel excited! This was true battle! Where you put your life on the line!
My aura exploded, as my emotions fueled my desire to battle.
[Overlord has activated! Instincts have leveled up! Instincts have leveled up! Instincts have leveled up!]
I could feel that my sixth sense had suddenly grown.
The crazy slime aimed a punch at my stomach, which I sidestepped to avoid.
The punch suddenly changed direction as it aimed for my neck.
The punch was filled with monstrous killing intent.
My body bent at a superhuman angle, letting the punch pass by over me.
I grabbed a hold of the arm, before throwing it away with all of my strength, causing the crazy slime's body to fly away.
[Over lord has activated! Form has leveled up! Form has leveled up!]
I started to walk towards the slime.
The crazy slime got up.
'You have really made me angry now, kid...'
The crazy slime got up. I fierce red aura erupted from with in him.
It was just like my black aura...
'You are not the only one with aura... kid'
His red aura was really powerful...
I launched off the ground, by concentrating [iron skin] on my legs.
I instantly appeared before him.
[Host has learnt the new skill [Instant]]
I punched him, with the black aura covering my hands.
Crazy slime, concentrated his iron skin on his hands and punched out, overwhelming me with his strength.
'You have really made me angry, kid'
He seems to have gotten serious...
[Overlord has activated! Iron skin has leveled up!]
My iron skin had leveled up level 8.
We once again launched at each other and attacked each other with a barrage of punches. Our aura was constantly clashing, creating sparks.
The crazy slime's face distorted, as if he was looking at a monster.
I am a monster, though...
'Who are you kid. how are suddenly able to contend with my Iron skin?'
I didn't respond to him, through the link that he had established, silently punching him. At times I would surprise him with a few kicks.
'It doesn't matter... When I absorb you, your secrets will be mine!'
Yeah... but I am not going to let you absorb me... dumbass.
Suddenly the aura around the crazy slime changed.
'I guess that I have to use it...'
From the back of the slime, five arms burst out.
Damn... this is what a high leveled [Third arm] is like...
All five of the arms were coated with [iron skin].
'Five arm punch' the crazy slime shouted as he threw all five of the hands at me.
Damn. I punched my fist out, coating it with my dense black aura, colliding with the five hands.
I was instantly pushed back, flying in the air before colliding with the wall of the cavern.
Damn...
I have a sense of deja vu at this scene...
How freaking strong is this guy...
By now, my body felt like it had lost all strength.
'Its the end!' the crazy slime shouted crazily as I saw the five hand clenching and then raining down on me.
Yeah I can't survive that...
I beckoned my last remaining strength the move, but I found that my whole body was paralysed. I looked down.
He got me good...
Chains coiled around my hands and feet.
I guess that this is what you call carelessness.
I didn't want to use them, but I guess that I have no choice.
I put seven of my hard earned skill points into the skill [Third Arm]
[Third arm level 1 -> 4]
But it wasn't enough...
Far from enough to defeat this crazy slime.
