{Di...}
{....is...fuse....you!}
'W-What?'
Seiya grunted, slowly waking up to a nudging on his butt.
{Ding!}
{"Lightning Speed Wind Slime" is trying to fuse with you!}
{Will you [Accept], or [Absorb]?}
Confusion overtook him and he flipped around. Right before him was a green blob, one that was slightly smaller than he. It was the culprit of the nudging, but in honesty, it was almost a...massage?
Then, he reread the system message, and some of his questions were answered.
But then he had more that erupted!
Could all slime's fuse? And, the panel said accept or absorb, which was smarter?
'Inspect.'

'Shit.' Seiya cursed. He didn't know the implications of fusing, but it surely wouldn't do well for him if he was weaker than this slime.
Surely the stronger soul would take control right? Looking at the panel before him, it was easy to tell that the slime before him was stronger than he!

===============
His eyes shot open, and with quick thought, he allocated every remnant stat point. He clearly remembered that his [Devour & Absorb] skill detailed the fact that if he was stronger than his target, he would gain everything they had! It seemed that since he was so close in strength to the Knoxus, he was able to steal every single stat point!
The wolf's stats had been added to his!
And then, with the new stat points from leveling up...

With a beaming smile on his face, Seiya smiled.
He let his body fall into the foreign creature touching him, his slime maw opening.
'Absorb!'
His gelatinous form completely surrounded his lesser brethren. Noticeably however, the slime didn't disintegrate, like the normal foe.
Feeling his stomach curdle, Seiya began to adopt a warm smile.
Unfortunately, things wouldn't be so easy.

____
There was a wobble in his body, and a fog in his brain.
'XX-Grade?.. So fusion isn't normal...' The wobble in his body wasn't from instability, but instead from pure confusion and shock.
Slowly, he opened his system, he glossed over his new stats, and his eyes fell down towards his skills.

Of course, the fact he was growing so quickly, and reaching such heights... It was exhilarating for surely! Yet, right now, he didn't have to capacity to worry about that...
He ignored the 78 new stat points, and the massive jump in everything else.
He solely focused on the strange skill he had never seen before.

'W-What?' He mumbled. 'When did I get this!?' He hopped and bounced around with joy.
To any unsuspecting watcher, the sight of a green slime bubbling with happiness would have been rather cute.
'This must be what kept the wolf alive... The red aura, all of it...' He said.
'If it would've even touched... I would been obliterated! Let alone killed...'
After reeling himself back together, he quickly moved on. He decided to glance over the memories of his consumed slime victim. Perhaps it was because it was the first opponent he was truly stronger than.
Well, he would find out eventually.
Surfing through the memories, it started with a slime being born in a patch of forest, where what seemed to be the edge of the forest. He saw a small village with about thirty slimes or so. Almost none of them were any as strong as Bidaa, minus two. His sister seemed to be slightly stronger, and his father of course, he was the chieftain after all. From the memories Bidaa described his father to be five times stronger than he, while he and his sister could go head to toe despite her being far younger.
In the end, he had gained enough general information, and with it he came to a decision.
'Thirty slimes to consume... I guess I'll reunite Bidaa with his tribe!' He chuckled.
Just like that, he started to move, heading in the direction of the village.
He didn't run, but he didn't walk.
He calmly bounced away, a smile on his face.
Until.
'Wait.' He paused.
The system opened.
'Can I?...'
{Ding!}
{Fusing Skills, [Devour & Absorb] and [Fusion].}
A smile was on his face, as if he had just thought of the greatest idea ever!
{Ding!}
{Skill [Just A Sliver] activating!}
{Fusion successful.}
It was quick. It was sharp. It was painful.
Seiya's body turned into a sludge, sinking into the ground, in the middle of the forest.
{New Skill created!}
