The Alpha Slime roared with a viscous, guttural sound that made the ground vibrate beneath their feet.
Its gelatinous body, nearly three meters tall, undulated with fury, launching thick tentacles as wide as tree trunks that left trails of corrosive slime wherever they struck the earth.
"Master, get back!" Eva shouted, positioning herself in front of Saen with her two-handed sword raised high.
Her muscles tensed, making her perfect buttocks stand out prominently under her tight pants and her breasts bounce with the defensive movement.
Saen didn't stay still. He immediately activated his skills.
"Reinforced Strike!"
His sword glowed with a faint red aura as he charged forward using Basic Movement Speed. The first blow struck a tentacle, slicing it cleanly.
A surge of power ran through his arms, but the slime regenerated almost instantly, launching another tentacle that hit him in the side and sent him flying several meters.
"Shit!" Saen grunted as he rolled across the ground. He felt the corrosive slime starting to burn his clothes.
Eva roared with rage and leaped toward the monster, slashing with fierce horizontal and vertical cuts.
Each strike made her sweaty body move hypnotically: her large breasts rose and fell forcefully, her white blouse stuck to her skin from the sweat, clearly outlining her nipples hardened by adrenaline.
"No one touches my Master!" she screamed while cutting pieces of gelatin, but the Alpha Slime was too large.
The severed pieces simply merged back into the main body.
Noxy acted from the rear. She raised her staff and began chanting a quick spell.
"Burning Star Flames!"
A fireball much larger than the previous ones formed at the tip of her staff and shot forward, striking directly at the slime's central core.
The monster let out a sharp screech and part of its mass evaporated into toxic vapor.
"Keep attacking the center!" Noxy ordered, her voice firm but with a slight pant.
Her blue robe had opened slightly from the movement, revealing a deep cleavage and the sweat running between her breasts.
Saen got up quickly and charged back in. He used all his skills in combination: Reinforced Strike after Reinforced Strike, moving faster thanks to his improved speed.
Each impact sent chunks of gelatin splattering everywhere, but the slime seemed endless.
A thick tentacle struck Eva squarely, sending her crashing to the ground. She rolled painfully, stabbing her sword into the earth to stop herself.
"Eva!" Saen shouted, worried.
"I'm… fine, Master…" she replied, getting up with difficulty but clearly limping.
The Alpha Slime seized the moment and launched three tentacles at Saen simultaneously.
He dodged the first thanks to his improved speed, cut the second, but the third wrapped around his waist and began to squeeze. The corrosive slime burned his skin.
"Aghhh!" he grunted in pain.
Noxy didn't hesitate. She ran forward, ignoring the danger, and pressed her staff directly against the tentacle holding Saen.
"Igneous Contact Explosion!"
A concentrated burst of fire burned the tentacle from the inside, freeing Saen.
The monster roared with fury and attacked the mage. Noxy barely had time to raise a magical barrier, but the impact knocked her to her knees, panting heavily.
Her robe tore a little more across the chest, revealing even more of her sweaty skin.
Saen, freed and furious, felt a wave of power. He invoked everything he had left.
"Reinforced Strike at maximum!" he said, hoping it would increase his power.
He ran at full speed and jumped, plunging his sword directly into the glowing core floating in the center of the Alpha Slime.
He used all his strength, twisting the sword while shouting. The core cracked with a crystalline sound.
Noxy seized the moment and cast her strongest spell yet:
"Rain of Burning Meteors!"
Dozens of small fireballs fell from the sky, striking repeatedly into the wound Saen had opened.
The Alpha Slime shuddered violently, its gelatinous mass beginning to bubble and dissolve.
Eva, recovering, delivered the final blow. She jumped with all her strength and drove her two-handed sword into the already cracked core, splitting it completely.
The Alpha Slime let out one last agonized cry before collapsing into a huge puddle of steaming gelatin and broken cores.
[You have defeated the Field Alpha Slime (Level 8)!]
[Experience +850]
[You have leveled up to 5]
[Yandere Points +122!]
[Current Points: 133]
Saen fell to his knees, breathing heavily.
His body was covered in corrosive slime, minor burns, and sweat.
Eva ran to him and hugged him tightly, pressing her sweaty breasts against his chest.
"Master… are you okay?" she asked with a trembling voice, clearly frightened.
Noxy also approached, wiping the sweat from her forehead. Her robe was now quite open, showing a large portion of her heavy breasts and the valley between them glistening with sweat.
Saen stood up with Eva's help and looked directly at Noxy. He took a deep breath and spoke sincerely:
"Noxy… thank you. If you hadn't been here, that tentacle would have crushed or dissolved me. You really saved my life. I owe you big time."
The blue-haired mage smiled with satisfaction, her pink eyes shining with pleasure at his words. She took another step closer, letting her body almost brush against Saen's.
"You're welcome, handsome. That's what we're in the same group for, right?"
Eva pressed her lips together, clearly fighting her yandere instincts.
Her hands clenched into fists at her sides and she looked at Noxy with obvious hostility, but after several seconds of awkward silence, she spoke through gritted teeth:
"…Thank you… for helping Master."
She said it as if every word burned her tongue. Noxy simply smiled, clearly enjoying the moral victory.
Saen, meanwhile, thought silently: 'If Noxy hadn't been here… we probably would have died. Eva is strong, but against something that big with that kind of regeneration… we couldn't have done it alone. We need a mage in the group, even if it means dealing with Eva's jealousy.'
The sun was already starting to set when they collected all the cores and finished killing the remaining small slimes. They took the large reddish core from the Alpha Slime with high expectations of making a lot of money from selling it.
Night had completely fallen.
They had returned to a small makeshift camp near the forest after saying goodbye to the farmer, not far from the farm.
Eva, exhausted from the hard battle, had fallen into a deep sleep beside the campfire.
Her body lay on its side, her blouse open enough to show the beginning of her breasts and her round buttocks clearly marked by her pants.
She breathed peacefully, with an almost innocent expression while sleeping.
Saen was sitting against a tree, still processing the fight, when Noxy approached stealthily.
She had removed the torn upper part of her robe, leaving only a thin white camisole that barely contained her large breasts.
The light from the campfire illuminated her figure seductively.
She sat very close to him, so close that her thigh brushed against Saen's. Her voice came out low, husky, and full of intention:
"Saen… I want you to give me a reward for saving you today."
Her pink eyes looked at him with open desire, and a mischievous smile formed on her lips as she leaned forward, letting her heavy breasts nearly spill out of the camisole.
Saen's heart beat hard. He glanced sideways at Eva, who was still deeply asleep, then turned his gaze back to the mage who awaited his answer with evident anticipation.
