Evolution of Slime to Peak

Chapter 6 Fighting A Hungry Wolf

"Hmm, ~~"

Ren stretched his body and looked around. He found himself at the top of the tree looking at the scenery.

'Where am I?'

He thought. Memory rushed down his brain, and he remembered he exited the dungeon happily. Now, he is in the middle of a forest. He didn't know where to go.

Of course, he can't go to a human settlement being a slime, it won't take more than one minute for people to come to hunt him.

He couldn't help but sigh looking at his condition. But he didn't look depressed, instead, he pumped himself because he didn't have a fist to pump it.

Sliding through the tree, he reached the ground in minutes. He had to find some objective for now.

"Let's evolve as much I can for now."

This was his temporary goal or his lifelong one too.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, a figure passed in front of him in a flash. Seeing the black shadow, Ren immediately raised his guard and jumped onto the tree latching to it.

Tak! Tak!

Sounds of someone walking drifted into Ren's ear. A wolf dropping its saliva came into his vision. From the looks of it, the wolf seemed hungry.

Its skinny body and a hunter's gaze stunned Ren for a moment.

'Damn, A hungry wolf!'

He cursed. But he soon calmed down.

'Can I defeat this thing?'

He thought. He had only killed slimes, nope, he just ate them, so he didn't know whether he could defeat the wolf or not.

He needs to make a decision. Run or make a gamble.

Running means, he is a coward, fighting it won't make him brave. If the gap in the power is huge, it would be just a stupid decision he would make.

Shaking his head, Ren decided to gamble.

'Time for a feast!'

He increased his confidence and sharply looked at the wolf.

In an instant, a list of skills appeared. He needed to choose some skills that would help him to defeat the wolf. Of course, his whole inner decision and list of skills appearing didn't take more than 5 seconds.

Also, the skill shouldn't take much mana at once, or he would just submit himself to the wolf since he will fall asleep once his mana is depleted.

Second, the skill must be effective, random skill will only consume mana and won't help him much.

With these thoughts in mind, he glanced at the skills inside his mind like a skill panel he would peer of game characters.

*****

As his gaze swift the skill, a sense of pride surfaced in his heart.

"Slide, Jump, and Spike. I could only use these three skills to defeat the wolf."

Jump to avoid attack, spike to create a spike on his body and slide to lead the spike to kill the wolf instantly, or if he could do that.

He would use crush after he dealt a huge blow to the wolf, and eat in one serve.

"Ok, let's go!!!"

HUUS!

Ren leaped in the air and cast a spike. He felt a sense of tingling on his body. The slimy substance erected and hardened. The tip of the spike thinned and became sharper like a blade.

In an instant, the spehereic-looking slime looked like an Ultimate CannonBall. With blue spike erected from his skin, he looked like a round ball covered in spikes.

The wolf below the ground felt a sense of danger from the lump of sticky thing that turned into a shiny spiky thing.

Swoosh!

It jumped back and landed 2 meters further from Ren.

Bang!

Ren landed on the ground. His pikes pierce the soil. As he rolled, the spike enter inside the soil hindering him from gaining speed.

The wolf tilted its head looking at the idiotic action that the slime was taking. It showed an evil smile before jumping and landing in front of Ren.

But-

That was its biggest mistake. As soon as Ren saw the wolf jumping with a confident smile, he smirked.

'Fooled you!'

Ren sneered inside his heart, before activating "Slide!"

Instantly, the spike tingled and except rolling, the slime moved ahead cutting the soil like a tractor plowing the field.

He gained an incredible speed and the wolf that just landed near Ren showed a solemn expression. It didn't have time to dodge or jump.

Thud!

Ren hit the wolf and his sharp spike impale the wolf's skin.

*Whimper*

The wolf whimpered, it wanted to cry in pain, but the blood that is lost in an instant weakened it to the extent that it didn't even have an ounce of energy.

Ren's spike was still inside the wolf's body.

Instantly, Ren's body grew in size, and the spike dissolved mixing inside his body. The bigger body covered the wolf's body. While paying respect inside his head, like "RIP wolf." He ate the wolf raw with its full body.

The wolf's body slowly dissolved and became nutrients for Ren.

With just a single wolf, Ren felt a huge amount of energy surging inside his body. Like a glowing bulb, his body glowed and a sense of power spread inside his body.

"I am going to evolve!"

Ren exclaimed. Evolving in the middle of the forest without any cover sounds dangerous. Who knows, another monster will appear and eat him.

So, he quickly jumps to the ground and sticks to it. He crawled to the top of the tree rashly as his life depends on it.

And in just thirty seconds he popped on the leaves and evolved. Evolving, he lost his consciousness and he didn't know what would happen next.
