LIGHTNOVELSTORY Chapter 44: “[Protect The Cub]”
After Charlie was released, the slime suddenly looked much more energetic than before, and it kept waving its tiny hands at Charlie.
"Chi! Chiiiii..."
The slime subconsciously wanted to "act cute", but seeing that it was far away from its "parents", the slime slumped back on Lee's palm.
Jaime and Lee saw the slime's complex reaction, and both of them had a certain feelings in their heart.
This slime is really smart and lively. It is so different from other slimes.
Jaime looked at slime Reo in his hand, who was still as a rock and didn't look as cute as its advertisement on the screen.
He suddenly disliked his carefully-groomed slime.
The slime is too docile. It lost its vigor as a beast and became a true pet instead.
Jaime clicked his tongue as he asked Lee to bring Neo closer to him.
"Be careful, don't let the little slime jump out of your palm, but don't scare it either."
Lee nodded at Jaime's instruction and stepped closer to the young master in steady steps, just like a tough soldier.
At the same time, an E-rank bodyguard stood behind Jaime, holding the cylinder tube of a living slime inside.
Three slimes surrounded Jaime from all sides, and the young man suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment.
Look. Even if he awakened as an F-rank, with his A-rank potential, the world would revolve around him sooner or later.
He would also go to other districts, just like his older brothers and relatives!
Jaime was immersed in his own fantasy, not knowing that as the distance between Neo and Jaime himself shortened, the slime slowly curled its lips, forming a villainous slime that no one could see.
Got you, hooman!
Neo immediately activated the skill he had not used before but definitely existed in the list of [Slime Cub]'s skills.
DING! [Protect The Cub] skill is activated!
[Protect The Cub]
(Skill level: A)
A white halo enveloped Neo's body, almost making Lee Dragon crush the slime in his palm to death.
But Jaime quickly stopped him and instead of retreating, he looked at the glowing slime with wide eyes.
"Hold on! It is using a skill! I can take a look at its movement clearly now."
Jaime's words also piqued Lee's interest. The cold man looked down at the slime on his palm that was moving along with the special effects.
The first thing the slime did was to scream, as usual.
"Chi! Chiiiii!"
If anyone here could understand the slime language, they would hear something shocking.
Mom! Dad! Big bro! Big sis! Grandpa! Grandpa! Uncle! Aunt!
The slime opened its "mouth" wide and screamed one last word.
"CHIIIII!!"
HELP!!
The next second, a strange illusory mother hen appeared out of thin air, and it suddenly protected Neo behind it with its huge body.
The hen used its wings to cover up Neo tightly, even patting its back soothingly.
The emergence of the strange, illusory hen caught Jaime and Lee off guard, but seeing that the hen didn't attack them or anything, they slowly let down their guard.
Little did they know that the moment the hen came out, Reo and a random slime inside the cylinder tube felt something.
An instinct deep in their DNA was forcibly awakened.
An instinct to protect their cubs.
[Protect The Cub] skill, influencing adult beasts of any ranks to protect the threatened cub and eliminate the danger.
With Neo one ranked higher than the two slimes, this skill effect was magnified several times.
If this skill was used on another E-rank beast, the beast would only take the initiative to block any dangers for Neo, but it wouldn't do anything else.
When it comes to these two F-rank slimes…
The cub's desperate call in slime language drove their instincts like crazy!
Protect the cub!
Kill the enemies!!
The first to react was the random slime in the cylinder tube, which was a pure F-rank slime, not an F+ rank slime like Slime Reo.
The slime suddenly bounced in the tube and pounded on the tube's wall with all of its strength!
BANG! BANG! BANG!
"CHIIII!!!"
MY BABY!!!
The crazy slime suddenly bounced around inside the tube, and its energy was so strong that the person who held the tube was caught off guard.
The slime actually pushed the tube's inner wall so hard that the whole cylinder tube flew out of the E-rank bodyguard's hand!
At this exact moment, while people's eyes were drawn to the sudden commotion, Charlie, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly used a skill.
DING! [Seeking Advantages, Avoid Disadvantages] skill is activated!
The skill turned bad luck into good luck, even if it was just a small luck.
This small luck made the whole tube with the slime inside actually fly straight to the back of Jaime's head!
Lee and the other three E-rank bodyguards, even the six F+ rank bodyguards, all reacted in unison.
"Young master! Be careful!"
Lee tried to pull Jaime to dodge the heavy flying tube, while the other bodyguards tried to catch the cylinder tube!
Jaime himself instantly took away his eyes from Neo and looked back with wide eyes.
What the hell!!
Jaime quickly took a few steps back towards Lee, still holding Slime Reo tightly.
SWOOSH!
The cylinder tube narrowly missed Jaime's head and fell to the ground with a bang.
No matter how good the cylinder tube was to resist the corrosive liquid of the slime, when it fell to the hard ground at such height...
It broke down to pieces on the spot.
CRACK!
The glass debris and various components flew everywhere, with most of them flying in the direction of Lee and Jaime, the two people closest to the broken cylinder tube.
Lee once again pulled Jaime to hide behind him, dodging the sharp glass debris and other sharp components.
But then, the random slime on the ground suddenly pounced on Lee and Jaime with all of its might!
