BRAGR) Come With Us

I guess the slime sensed danger since it suddenly let out a loud roar, even it’s body seemed to form a mouth as it roared at me causing my entire body to freeze up. “Shit! How the hell can you roar!? You are a damn slime!”

Paralyzing Roar. It was not a normal roar by any means. It caused everyone caught in the area of effect to freeze for a few seconds. And those few seconds were literally life or death.

“Ooff!!” I felt a tentacle smashed into my stomach. It was not a spear-type one like the others but a thick one that felt like ten fists being smashed into my gut all at once. It was a good thing I had not eaten yet. Only bile shot out of my mouth as I was flung towards the barrier wall, smashing into it.

“Are you okay!?” I heard one of the officers yell out as my body began to glow green.

“Minor Heal!” Angel called out healing me up as I slowly climbed to my feet. I turned to the man who called out to me and gave him a smile and a slight nod before rushing back into the fray.

Once more I was forced to do a dance as I dodged the slime’s attacks before finally finding another opening. I just hoped that it could not use Paralyzing Roar so quickly. As I closed in on it with my sword out to my side, I readied my grip as I located the core and jumped into the air. It seemed this slime’s Paralyzing Roar was on a long cool-down.

I did not hesitate to stab out with my sword, aiming right for the core. My blade penetrated through its jello-like body and into the core. The slime began to wobble uncontrollably before finally turning into a rain of liquid as its body lost its ability to hold itself together.

[Level up!]

Seeing the level-up prompt filling my eyes, I couldn’t help but freeze in place. “Why? Why did I get a level? This is not supposed to happen…” I looked down to see a small jelly ball on the ground and frowned. Even the monsters were dropping items. I walked over and picked it up and stuffed it into my inventory before turning to Angel who was looking at me with a worried expression.

“It’s fine. We will deal with what comes as it comes. For now, we can at least gain levels when the first wave truly starts. I think this is just the beginning.” Although I have no idea why a single unique slime suddenly appeared, I think this will not be the first time it happens.

But now the real trouble begins. I turned to the encirclement of not only police but now also soldiers and knew we would be in for a quick interview but I know one thing is for sure. If they dare to try to arrest us, I will grab Angel and leave this place by force if I need to.

“Angel, release the barrier.” I walked over, put my sword into my inventory, and then held her hand. She nodded and did as I asked, allowing the police to finally walk over to us. I also saw a few people in military uniforms pushing their way through.

An older man with a bald head, wearing a swat uniform and holding his helmet in his hand smiled at us. “Thank you for what you did today. You have really saved the day.”

“Hold, Higgins. Young ladies, while we appreciate what you did, you will need to come with us.” Another older man in a military uniform stood beside the bald man. This man had short blonde hair and a clean-shaven face, but you could tell he had been in the military for a while since his entire being radiated a strong aura of someone who had seen his fair share of battles.

“Sorry, but my mother told me not to follow strangers,” I replied to the military man. I mean, was he going to try to use force? “Now if you do not mind, I would really like to go and have breakfast. We only came here to help out since a monster appeared. If we did not, there would be quite a few dead police officers and military personnel.”

“It’s fine you can go. We thank you for what you have done.” The older man named Higgins turned to the short-haired military man and said: “This is my jurisdiction. You have no right to detain anyone. If I say they can go they can go. You know that to be the truth right, Davis?”

“Tch… Higgins, are you really planning on getting in my way? This area is not under federal quarantine. If I say they need to follow me then they need to foll….” I cut in before this Davis guy got ahead of himself.

 “Davis was it? Sorry to tell you, but we have no plans to listen to you at all. Maybe you should not think so much about military might and start investigating what is truly going on here. Like why monsters from a fucking game are suddenly appearing in the real world.”
