Since when the fuck is this boss easy?!

[In my defense, I thought the zombie would be a lot tougher since it was a bit higher level… I was mistaken, oh well.]

Taking a deep breath in, I exhaled as my anger faded. Now wasn't the time to focus on such things, it wouldn't help my situation.

The fact of the matter is that the boss was stupidly powerful, severed parts could either act on their own or be controlled by it. The only reason I was alive was due to its intelligence, more specifically lack thereof.

Much like the Gamer System.

[OI! Your ass is lucky that I took in the consideration that this was your first boss and didn't include its levels into its HP and MP!]

I grumbled, I would rather have any other boss than one like this; even if the Slime King was weakened.

[Fine, since you have no chance of winning and you dying so early on would be bad, here.]

[Quest Added!]

[Dodge the tentacles]

[Objectives

A bloody smile crept up to my face, the copper taste filling my mouth as I did so. But that didn't stop my shit eating grin from appearing; my blood stained teeth showing.

"You don't want me to die"

It wasn't a question, it was a statement backed by confidence and snickering as the Gamer System refused to answer my observational claim.

[Y-you… I do nice things for you and this is what I get!]

Awww, is someone pouting?

My only response was a bundle of error messages along with adorable scrambled words. Ahh, I feel much better now after teasing the Gamer System.

Sitting up steadily, I watch as the slime treads its way through the abandoned city, its kaiju level body tumbling over buildings as the roar of colliding and falling debris fills my ears; three minutes huh?

Getting a running start, I freefall off of the large hole that I made with my own body, a familiar pair of bat-like wings sprouting from my back as I take to the skies.

Breathing in the polluted air, the wind pushed against my face as I felt the rushing wind maneuver around my body with eaze.

[S-so you finally took my suggestion.]

Pouting cute Tsundere.

...

And just like that, I once again achieved inner peace and silence.

Inwardly memorizing the three words just in case, I hum as my eyes stay glued to the monstrously sized boss; its stats tell me enough to know that it has an average level of human intelligence, which is enough reason for caution.

Raising a single hand I wait patiently as I watch the slime encroach ever closer to my location. Or at least the location below me.

Observing as the building I was previously in gets demolished at that point as it reaches its final destination; I have already summoned forth half of my mana reserves worth of Dream Arrows.

18 arrows were ready to be fired at any given moment. I even had a perfect angle, hell with the firepower in hand right now I have a chance to kill it.

But I underestimated it once and paid the price, my health was low, and its health was at its peak; the chances of things going wrong were just too high.

Also coupled with the fact that it held average human levels of intelligence, I knew for a fact it wasn't dumb enough to simply die out or hold still for 18 arrows to pierce its body.

Despite the lack of action as I held a tough front, pink phantom like arrows levitated around me.

There was also the fact that the reward, Soul Subduement, would be my only chance to learn Soul magic and get inspiration to create other techniques.

Watching my health slowly rise, relief flooded my nerves, the more time I stalled the closer I was to finishing the quest and the higher chance I had of winning with more HP.

Noticing the lack of response, the Slime King sent out 4 massive tentacles, a bit smaller than the ones that knocked me through the structures. My expression dimmed like the sky of this dimension.

Evading them to the best I could, my expression only fell further and further as I had to resort to launching the pink phantom arrows at the tentacles to destroy them.

Through gnashed teeth, I swayed my body through countless hurdles as the number of tentacle-like slime only increased. Through the corner of my eye; I spotted a solution.

Shooting out from above, I fly towards the most stable and durable building. It was clear to me that even if I did hold out long enough for the mission to end; I would run out of MP and be killed.

Hurling myself inside the building through the surprisingly present glass, I could only smile as the tentacles shoot in without direction. He can manipulate his body even if cut off, but the cleaved off body parts can't be their own entity.

It was the only comfort I had with the slime. If he could produce an army of self moving gel like what I once thought, I would be dead in seconds.

As the long blue and thick gel like tendrils probed around the building, I could only watch with progressive anxiety as the timer slowly ticked down; so close, just a bit more.

Unfortunately, God was dead and Michael seemed to be a prick.

With sudden precision and wariness, the tentacles shoot straight to my vicinity as I have no choice but to use the remaining Dream Arrows available to destroy them as I jump out another window and fly back into the skies.

As I did so, I couldn't help but be frustrated at my recklessness. Slime was intelligent, above the average human if his stats told me anything. He was probing to see if I would relax; he clearly had little patience.

Or he just finished whatever he was working on while acting as if he was probing…
