"Shina, I need defense!"
"Jen, I need a shield here!"
The group of adventures asked each other for help as they dealt with the slis. The teenager's slis were bigger in size, so they were a little harder to kill.
The swordsman, Lin, swung his sword at the sli and killed it in one strike. Another sli jumped at him and tried to hit him but the defense barrier created by Shina protected him.
Lin swung his sword again and killed the jumping sli.
Like that, Jin covered Tina's back with his shield as one sli jumped at her. She imdiately stung her arrow in the bow and shooter at the sli far back. Her arrow pierced the sli's skin and destroyed its core.
Jin blocked the attack with his shield and stabbed the sli with his spear, KOing it in one hit.
The squad dealt the sli easily, as no one was even scratched up to the battle now.
Ren, on the other hand, woke up after ten minutes. But for him, it felt like a long ti. Not having a sense of ti is difficult, or so he complained in his heart.
Swung! Swoosh!
Sounds of swinging swords, and firing arrows, rang outside the door. Feeling curious, Ren crawled near the door ignoring his condition.
He opened the door a little and peeked through it.
People wearing armors and carrying weapons killing the slis ca into Ren's view. Excitent aside, he felt the threat.
He killed the boss sli, so the next boss would be him. And he deduced from their fighting skill, that they weren't trying their best. At most, they were like practicing.
Ren didn't know if he could defeat them or not, and he didn't even know if he could communicate with them in the first place.
Also, trying that would be foolish. If they didn't listen and directly tried to kill him, wouldn't that be a waste.
He jumped up and stick to the ceiling near the door to avoid the adventurers. Then he looked at the skills, that he gained from killing the boss sli and from evolution.
[Scatter: Separate the body into different parts. (Extra effect: Can jump the consciousness from one body to another.) Ti Limit: 10 minutes]
[Evolution from Child Sli to Teenage Sli (Evolution Skill): Spike: Create spikes from the skin. Harder and sharper than real spikes. Ti Limit: 5 minutes]
[(Evolution Skill): Small Store: Can store things limited to things of limited size inside your body.]
"Wow. These skills are quite good."
Ren sighed in relief at getting an offensive skill.
Creak!
Unlike previously when the door opened automatically, this ti the group opened the door and the creaking sound reverberated. Ren guard raised as he turned his body into liquid and stick to the ceiling.
The group of adventurers blood in sli while walking inside. But when they saw the state of the room, their eyes widen.
"What the hell? Where did the boss of this dungeon go?" Lin asked searching the dungeon. His eyes scanned the room like a hunter searching for his prey.
"Look at the state of the room, it seems like soone has killed it early," Shina said looking at the small puddle of blue liquid on the ground.
She touched the liquid and gasped in surprise. "This is the remains of the boss sli."
Hearing that, Tina frowned. "Soone ca and killed the boss... But how did it pass through the sli?"
"Hmm, this is quite mysterious."
Jin put his hand on his chin.
While clearing a dungeon, killing every monster inside the dungeon is necessary. Just killing the boss monster won't do.
Even if they killed the boss, the dungeon won't restart. aning, that the sli will continue doing their work and the boss room will be empty.
As long as every monster inside the dungeon is killed, the dungeon will go through a restoration....
Anyway, the group of adventurers looked at the cri scene and sighed.
"Well, no point in thinking now," Lin said.
" I can't think at all. My brain cell is paining." Tina complained.
"I am not a brain guy. So, I can't think of the answer." Jen crossed his arm and separated from the discussion.
"You are just a muscle head. We don't need your tiny brain here. Anyway, let's go out. I am tired from all the fighting we did." Shina stretched her arms.
"Ok, let's go."
Jin announced and exited the room. They didn't think that there will a monster sticking on the ceiling at all.
Monsters are low intelligence, so they didn't waste their brain cells thinking if monsters planned a trap or not.
Ren on the other hand listened to their conversation and slowly crawled outside the room. He followed the group quietly.
As they reached the exit of the dungeon, Ren separated his body using Scatter. He made a small piece of himself and attached it to his leg of Lin.
He didn't want to risk his chance of exiting the dungeon. What if there was a barrier blocking his way, but if they could pass through the dungeon, could he pass with them?
And the answer was, yes.
He passed through the barrier easily and jumped at the nearest tree he saw.
The group didn't notice the sli.
Ren crawled upward the tree, and again transport his consciousness to the body inside the dungeon.
This ti, he tried to go out with the huge body. But...
Diiinnn!
He hit the barrier. Ren sighed and again his consciousness ca back to the small sli, the size of a drop of water.
As the ti of the skill expired, his body glowed. His body regrew again, and he felt exhausted. His body returned back to its formal form and he fell asleep due to the energy consud in regrowing
"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. mory rushed down his brain, and he rembered 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 settlent being a sli, it won't take more than one minute for people to co 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 so 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 imdiately raised his guard and jumped onto the tree latching to it.
Tak! Tak!
Sounds of soone walking drifted into Ren's ear. A wolf dropping its saliva ca into his vision. From the looks of it, the wolf seed hungry.
Its skinny body and a hunter's gaze stunned Ren for a mont.
'Damn, A hungry wolf!'
He cursed. But he soon cald down.
'Can I defeat this thing?'
He thought. He had only killed slis, 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 ans, 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.
'Ti 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 so 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 consu 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 ga 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!
his body.
