BRAGR) Incident In The Real World Part 2

I took off my headset to see a set of eyes staring down at me. I didn’t even get to get up before my lips were stolen. I chuckled softly as I enjoyed the softness before gently pushing Angel aside. “We have things to do. We can play later tonight. To think an angel would be unable to control her libido.”

“Hey!” Angel playfully punched my shoulder before hugging me. “Let’s go get some food.”

“Alright, but no zapping people this time. It would be a pain to make up new stories to get us out of it.” I couldn’t help but tease the girl as I leaned into her embrace.

“I don’t zap people!” Angel pinched my nose to get revenge before giving me a kiss on the eye of all places.

After washing up and getting dressed, we found Hilde watching TV on the couch. She had the news turned on and seemed very focused. “Hilde, what’s wrong?”

“Oh, Master. Come look at this. I already recorded it just in case you did not get up yet look.” Hilde had only been here for a few days and already knew how to recode things. She was quite a quick learner. 

Angel and I sat down next to Hilde and looked at the screen…

`We are here at 5th and 7th where a strange creature has been blocked off by the police and seems to be fighting with them…`

On the screen was a drone shot of the street below. A monster I know very well was bobbing up and down and shooting out tentacles at the police, breaking some of their shields and sending a few flying. It was blue and looked like a giant blob of jello. It was a slime but this was no regular slime.

 “A unique?” I mumbled before standing up. “Is the fight still going on?”

 “Yes, it’s only a few streets over. Master, are you planning on going?” Hilde asked.

“Yeah, Angel and I will go. Hilde, if someone shows up looking for the sample of the magi-crafted bug. Just give them one. Tell them we had to step out and that we will talk to Derrick later.” I did not want to waste any time. Slimes were on the weaker side, so normal armor could protect them, but this was a unique. There were probably no players around at this time who could fight it easily. It stood as tall as a man, and without proper weapons, they could not fight this thing head-on.

“Angel, let’s go. We need to make a name for ourselves.” This was the biggest reason for me to head out. This would be our chance to announce our organization.

“Okay!” Angel hopped up from the couch and followed me out of the house.

It took fifteen minutes for us to run to the scene of the battle. The road and the surrounding buildings had already taken quite a bit of damage. “Hold it back! We have to figure a way to keep it here until the army arrives!”

“Captain, bullets don’t work on this thing, and ten of us are already down!” Someone yelled out from the front line of officers on the scene. I shook my head and walked to the police line, where everyone was trying to take pictures.

“Angel, hold on, I am going to jump over.” I pulled Angel close, hugging her waist, and then stomped off the ground, jumping over the police line and landing in front of the officers who were trying to hold the slime back.

 “Who are you!? Get out of here!” One of the officers yelled out. I turned and looked at him and gave him a wide grin. “It’s you who needs to get out of here. Angel set up a barrier.”

“On it!” Angel’s hair began to flutter as she began casting a spell, second laster a blue dome covered the area. She had gotten quite a few extra skills during her quest line. She seemed to have a knack of finding hidden triggers in unique quests.

Now that the police were blocked off, I turned my attention to the slime, my sword appearing in my hand. “Keep it busy. This thing’s health is quite high.”

Just looking at the health bar was making me wonder just what level this thing was. As soon as Angel attacked with magic, I shot forward with my sword. The blue tentacles shot out at me causing me to have to twist and turn my body to dodge them.

It seemed to not like how well I was dodging since it sent out even more tentacles in my direction causing me to have to raise my sword and block as many as I could since there was no way to dodge.

“Ouch! Shit!” I have no idea how it was doing it, but with each hit I took, a slice appeared on my clothes and body. Blood began to drip out, but I ignored them as I quickly jumped back and ran a circle around the stupid thing. It was fully concentrated on me, so I knew Angel would be okay. Wherever I ran, she would bombard the slime just behind me to help reduce my burden. When I saw a pause in its attacks I knew this was my chance and rushed towards the slime. As long as I could stab its core, we would win.
