Phew phew
Shiro is catching his breath
As I'm a Slime I don't get tired as such...
But I do use up my energy!
And while I was running I threw poison!
That used up almost all my reserves
The positive side is that I managed to kill some Centipedes, despite not being able to eat them...
Leaving that aside
The [Great Sage] skill went up another level!
So thanks monsters, but don't try again hehehe
Among the changes I got from improving the [Great Sage] skill I expected to find something useful... but there were no big changes
Although I honestly don't expect anything, I'm still disappointed.
Just one thing added...
It's supposed to process faster now... but I don't see much difference
Shiro looks very tired,
So much so that I build a temporary nest
Meanwhile I go out to hunt while she rests taking care of the egg I left there
Knowing that I can't waste energy at the moment I repeat Shiro's hunting technique
Which consists of letting myself fall from the ceiling to catch my prey, using [Mimicry] to copy the centipede, paralyze them and kill them when they can't move with poison
After hunting like this for a while I hear something
I've always thought that voice is very fast when talking.
After a while of hunting I decide to drag the prey that are his part of Shiro to the temporary house
Upon arriving I notice something alarming
A huge snake is in our temporary nest
And Shiro is fighting it
It doesn't seem to be going very well
Without thinking much, I shoot poison to distract it,
It seems to work because at that moment the snake turns to look at me
Without stopping I keep shooting
In that moment of carelessness on the part of the snake, Shiro takes advantage of it and launches himself at its neck, biting it fiercely.
The snake seems to go crazy
It starts to crash against the walls!
God, if I don't stop it, it's going to crush Shiro.
It's just a little spider after all!
Using the [Spider Thread] skill I got from eating Shiro's webs, I manage to guide her to a particularly large web to prevent her from continuing to whip herself off the walls
No matter how hard I try
She tries to break free
At that moment I have an idea
I launch myself like Spiderman towards his face
He opens his mouth to try to eat me
But at that moment Shiro bites her harder, which distracts her and prevents me from entering her mouth.
Then I fall on his face
I quickly turn towards his eye
And use the digestion skill!
That skill on that sensitive spot makes it hurt more than Shiro's bite.
But the matter doesn't end there
Using two of my strongest offensive skills that I have [Poison Synthesis] and [Mimicry]
I make a deadly combo!
First with [Mimicry] I transform part of my body into a fang piercing its eye
Then using [Poison Synthesis] I spend all my energy injecting poison into the fang
When the snake hits the wall several times to hurt me I use [Parasite], which regenerates some energy and heals me at the cost of the snake's vitality even if it's just a little.
After about 40 seconds (which by the way seemed like an eternity) the snake dies.
Whew
We did it
Shiro looks hurt, but in a moment she sheds her skin and seems unharmed.
Oh!
I think I go through something similar when I level up.
But I clearly don't shed skin...
I guess that's how the animal kingdom works.
I guess
Shiraori's POV
Yeeeeees
Take it snake
I was sleeping peacefully when that snake attacked me
I was tempted to run away alone
But I remembered that Slime-kun came out and entrusted me with the egg...
I promised I would never run away from my home again!
No matter how temporary this house was
I promised I would be a proud spider!
So I charged at her
For a moment I was cornered
But then Slime-kun gave me enough time to make an effective attack on her neck.
Later he also joined the fight and together we managed to defeat that snake
I also gained some skills and levels
But the most important thing is that the egg was unharmed!
I'm proud of myself for being able to protect my home this time!
