Chapter 58 – Floor 9. The Worst Humiliation for a Master, Right?

The appearance of the slime, which had transformed from the commonplace blue slime mass into the world’s only GOAT golden slime mass, had changed significantly.

Well, given the amorphous nature that has no fixed form to begin with, I’m not sure if “changed appearance” is the right way to describe it.

At least, it would be more accurate to say that the basic form it assumed had greatly changed.

It had the upper body and legs of a woman, similar to the golden statue said to be modeled after the wizard, but seemingly unable to stand on its own, it sat on a water sack-like lower body, reminiscent of sitting on an exercise ball.

In the end, the legs were merely decorative, but the ability to mimic such an intricate shape, from an ordinary blob to this, could be considered remarkable growth.

‘Wow. Are these specs for real?’

The Health value of 255 stood out, with no trace of that trash slime anywhere.

Considering the blessing had raised its specs beyond those of the standard Guardian, this level was truly equivalent to a mini-boss of the tropical rainforest region.

It was no exaggeration when Blue Tongue said the Guardian could suppress Alraune!

Squelch-

However, even though it mimicked a human form, it still couldn’t speak, merely contracting and relaxing the slime that made up its body to try to convey something.

“I’ve never seen the Guardian react like this before. I was certainly curious about how you claimed you would take the Guardian, but now I see you had something to rely on, human.”

“It’s because my capacity for acceptance is vast.”

The slime had grown considerably in size.

Previously the size of a slightly large doll, it was now large enough that its amorphous lower half, excluding the human-like upper body, could completely envelop me with room to spare.

Feeling as if I were lying on a soft water bed, I playfully slapped the slime’s surface with my palm.

With a sticky sound, the slime maintained its elasticity, creating undulating waves.

“So, are we going to deal with the Flower Queen right away now?”

As the saying goes, “Strike while the iron is hot,” Blue Tongue grabbed the spear she had set aside, now that the Guardian had been summoned.

“Don’t be so hasty. Wait a bit. Unfortunately, I can’t maintain this one indefinitely.”

“Hmm. Is that so?”

“Even though it’s become this Guardian, it’s still a summon bound to me. It needs my magical power to sustain it.”

The slime clung to me as if confirming my words.

During its blue slime mass days, it felt like an amorphous puppy nuzzling its head, but now that it mimicked a woman’s body, despite still being transparent, the feeling was strange.

Blue Tongue seemed to understand, nodding as she slung the spear over her back and crossed her arms.

“Then when can we depart, human?”

I pondered for a moment as I manually detached the slime, which had nestled in my arms and gradually begun to engulf my body into itself.

It would be great to know Alraune’s location and go directly there, but there was no way to pinpoint a creature that had left its place and started moving around.

It would be different if I had a Scroll of Insight, but unfortunately, neither the goblin’s backpack nor the Suspicious Merchant had one.

“How about we get a good night’s sleep and set out tomorrow? That should be enough for me.”

It was good that the slime had been greatly enhanced, but unfortunately, Severa still had a disadvantageous compatibility against Alraune, and Kali had no Fuel value.

And on top of that, I had no intention of fighting a mini-boss when I wasn’t in perfect condition.

“Alright. You’ll need a place to rest, human. Follow me.”

Blue Tongue pulled me away from the slime’s sticky, slimy offensive.

***

The place Blue Tongue took me to was a large burrow, not outside the village, but close to the outskirts.

With neatly and solidly dug circular earthen walls and a surprisingly spacious interior, I felt something like a thrill, as if I had sneaked into a secret base built by unnecessarily energetic and skilled children, as I looked around the dimly lit burrow.

“What is this place?”

I turned my head at Blue Tongue’s voice coming from inside the dark burrow, and all I could see were the reptilian slit eyes glowing ominously.

Gulp-

Somehow unnerved by that gaze, I meekly knelt down.

“This is my burrow, human. Why? You’re sitting as if uncomfortable. Don’t do that, make yourself at home.”

“Customer, need a light? Right now, for just 39 GOLD.”

“…Give me one.”

The Suspicious Merchant, who had come along all this way, took out a lamp and hung it from the ceiling.

Although it made noise with each sway due to the ungreased old handle creaking, the swaying soon subsided, and a soft light filled the burrow.

Slurp─

As the Suspicious Merchant sucked away my GOLD for payment, my lower body unexpectedly stood to attention as if asking if it was its turn.

“Ugh… Isn’t there another method? It feels like I’m being completely drained.”

“Ah, I’m not buying. Not buying.”

I pushed away the Suspicious Merchant’s forehead with my palm as they eagerly eyed my plump GOLD pouch, and when I turned my head, Blue Tongue was curled up and lying down near the entrance.

With her tail curled and blinking her large eyes, it was clear she had no intention of moving elsewhere.

“Hmm. Are you planning to stay there?”

At my words, Blue Tongue looked at me as if I’d said something obvious.

Her blue tongue flickered briefly as she habitually flicked it.

“Of course. This is my burrow.”

“Then is there another place to sleep or something…”

“Unfortunately, the residents still don’t trust humans, so it would be difficult. And that house is used as a warehouse for valuable items and food, making it even more impossible.”

“…”

I could only remain silent.

I was reluctantly already in a state of having been voyeuristically observed naked for half a day, but still, I didn’t want to show the intimate act of recharging the onaholes’ fuel.

“What is it, human? Are you embarrassed? After already sleeping together, you’re being suddenly shy now.”

“…”

Certainly, we did sleep together on the way back to the village while camping.

But at that time, I really did nothing but sleep!

Without any of my intentions being reflected, I was defeated by sheer strength and became Blue Tongue’s living heater, but I just dove into deep sleep while fully clothed.

Blue Tongue made a rumbling sound under her jaw as if finding it amusing, but just because she doesn’t mind doesn’t mean I feel comfortable.

Besides, the Suspicious Merchant was right there too!

My nerves weren’t thick enough to stand up among these unpleasant creatures.

Squish-

“Huh?”

Bubble-

While the neurons in my mind waged a fierce war between “Is embarrassment the issue? Let’s charge right now.” and “No matter what, this is a bit…”, something grabbed my arm from behind.

I fell backward from the considerable force, but what I felt on my head wasn’t the hard earth floor but a soft, cool jelly.

The slime that had pounced on me from behind began to gradually cover my body with its slime.

I tried to detach it, just as I had done earlier at the center of the village, feeling an unpleasant sensation of being engulfed, but my fingers merely sank into its body without getting a grip.

And somehow, I felt a drop of sweat rolling down my cheek.

“Hey, hey hey! What are you suddenly doing?”

Squelch!

Although I couldn’t understand what it was trying to say, it clearly had no intention of stopping as it almost completely swallowed my body and slowly moved through me to face me.

My vision was filled with golden slime.

Deep inside, I could see what looked like a nucleus beyond the transparent slime body.

Clank- Clang-

“Huh.”

Even as I was confused by the sudden action, its movements didn’t stop, and it skillfully removed the plate armor I was wearing.

The naturally removed plate armor passed softly through its body and fell to the ground.

Instantly disarmed, I struggled to escape, but no matter how much I flailed, this damn slime had somehow become so strong that, despite being made of slime, I couldn’t move an inch.

Blue Tongue watched with interest while lying on her belly, her eyes fixed on me, and the Suspicious Merchant’s mask was turned in my direction from the corner, leaning against their backpack.

“Y-you fuckers! Don’t just watch, help me!”

“Doesn’t it just want to play? It doesn’t look dangerous, human.”

“A master should train their pets themselves, customer.”

My fists trembled at the two of them who were making such nonchalant remarks while I was restrained and unable to move, but unfortunately, I couldn’t focus my attention there because the slime’s movements were too strange.

“Hey! Slime! Wait!”

Squirm?

As if asking why, it stopped undressing me halfway and looked at me.

Its face, shining like gold, changed to a sullen expression as if it didn’t want to wait, but it still seemed to obey commands, patiently awaiting my words.

That was at least fortunate.

“Now, first, get off… Mmfph?!”

Golden slime burst into my mouth, filling it.

That cold, wet substance filled my mouth, preventing me from issuing any more commands.

Unable to move my arms and legs, and now with my mouth blocked?

‘I’m screwed!’

This crazy slime dares to rebel against its master just because its brain got a bit bigger! This garbage bourgeoisie!

I feel Marx’s red blood flowing through my heart and spreading throughout my body.

Workers of the world, unite!

But as if ignoring my inner cry, the slime’s tentacles of slime boldly stripped away the last of my dignity as a civilized being.

‘Fuck!’

A tear, not a drop of blood, rolled down my cheek. Farewell, my innocence.

I sank into sadness, having lost an innocence I never had, and felt even more acutely the two pairs of eyes voyeuristically observing this scene.

The slime, seemingly pleased with something, rubbed its smiling face against my chest and embraced me even more deeply.

As a result, with only my head and genitals exposed to the outside air, protruding from its body, I felt like I was about to lose consciousness.

‘Being raped by an onahole! What the fuck!!!’
