Chapter 11 - Toxin treatment

"Ahhhhh!" Tomoe began to scream, her legs kicking on the ground as she struggled to stand to her feet.

"Yo chill, calm down, I'm not going to hurt you… I'm small and cute!" Lumin spoke, but Tomoe was too scared to hear a single word he had to say.

"Stay away from me! Stay away! I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Don't kill me".

She had just experienced something worse with a slime, seeing yet another similar monster placed her in a frenzy.

'She's just throwing a tantrum. Is this because I look similar to a slime? If that's the case, maybe I should just take a different-'

[Negative.]

[The more you evolved from devouring other monsters in the dungeon, the more intense your aura became. The tiny form you have doesn't match up with the demonic aura your body is giving out.]

'What? I have a demonic aura?'.

[Correct.]

'And you didn't tell me! That must be why we didn't see any monsters around, they must have been running from my energy, or at least I think so, seeing how this girl is reacting to me might be proof enough'.

The Blop felt almost frustrated at the fact her screams kept increasing. Turning his gaze to look at Alpha, he noticed she was smiling at him with her hand raised, indicating she was asking if she should slap the woman again.

Lumin sighed.

From the ground, vines grew and tied Tomoe on her knees, her mouth had also been sealed shut by the vines Lumin had summoned in an effort to stop her from overreacting.

'That should keep her still for now,' He looked at the other girl, still unconscious on the ground, 'We have to find something to do about that… but first'.

The Blop crawled toward Tomoe, and stopped when it was only a few distance away from her.

The fear on her face was evident, to the point tears had begun to drip from the side of her eyes.

"Hey, my name is Lumin, and I'm not your enemy, I don't want to hurt you." Lumin spoke out loud.

'Damn, girl making me sound like I'm some kinda alien invading the world.'

But luckily, when he spoke, it seemed like Tomoe was listening and could understand him.

"Nod your head if you can understand that I'm not a threat."

Tomoe nodded, although reluctantly.

"Good, you want to get out of the dungeon, just like me and my partner. All we want are directions from you since you seem to know the in and out, and we promise not to harm you in any way or form, in exchange, we will heal your wounds…"

The Blop used its tentacles to point at the pink haired girl on the ground, "Your friend over day isn't going to make it if she doesn't get treated, the toxin in her body is already killing her cells, just like you… the moment she wakes up, the toxin will start spreading".

Tomoe's eyes widened in fear as she noticed her friend at the side.

"Of course I can heal you, but I need to know if you are for it. So what do you say? Are you willing to work with me here?" The Blop asked.

At first, it seemed like Tomoe was finding it hard to believe a creature from a dungeon would help her, but then again, she didn't really have any other choice- there was a chance the creature could kill her if she refused.

Closing her eyes, Tomoe nodded her head.

'Phew, well that was easier than I thought, she's logical, that's good to know.'

"I'm going to release you now, please try to keep calm while my partner attends to your friend…"

The vines around Tomoe retracted back into the ground, leaving her free.

The first thing she did was collapse to the ground, her eyes once again taking on the love sign. She was breathing heavily, and sweating at the same time.

"W..hy does…my body feel so …hot?" she managed to let out.

'The toxin is already taking its effect, damn, now I feel I should use predator on the slime and gain its skill, but I don't want to kill it… tsk, what a waste.'

[I have come up with a method to heal the victims of the toxin poison.]

'That was fast, I didn't even have to ask. Alright, what do you got?'.

The Blop began to move towards Tomoe.

Alpha had gone over to the pink haired her, pulling her cheeks and poking her in an attempt to get her to wake up.

[First step!]

[Using the Ultimate skill Advanced Mimicry, you could transform into a slime, having its liquified and bond free structure.]

[Second step!]

[Using the Unique skill Mana Absorption, and trait Multi form. Each multi form can form a layer on the victims skin where the toxin has been laden, and work to neutralize it, using Mana Absorption.]

'That doesn't sound… creepy at all.'

[Would you like me to come up with a different method?]

'Nah, I'm a doctor now, there's no time to waste.'

Lumin crawled his way right on top of the girl, his tentacles gently wrapping itself around the body of the girl.

She was so consumed by the toxic flowing inside her body, that all she could see were blurry visions of what was around her.

"Okay, here I go, try not to make this hard for me." Lumin uttered.

[Advanced Mimicry!]

The Blop's body took the form of a black slime.

[Multi form!]

From within its own body, different slime-like clones began to form, each one hopping out of his body like water drops.

After a few moments, about seven different slimes were standing around the girl, although their colors were duller than the original Blop.

"Okay guys, get covering!!!".
