Chapter 139: The Slime Devours... Part 2
Such an exclamation was followed by the watermelon-sized black slime instantly bouncing off of his body before heading toward the few dozen corpses that he had brought to it!
........
It made quick work of all the draconian corpses, as the nearly 30 draconian 'Elite' corpses were devoured in a mere 5 minutes!
The now-giddy black slime didn't seem the least bit full either, as its insatiable hunger made its slimy features distort into something unexplainable.
Something akin to a black hole from Azmond's perspective
He didn't know what made him think Emu looked like a black hole when it gazed around the altar like it wanted to consume the worldit was just a feeling he felt stemmed from the very core of his being.
Seeing the indescribable sight of a small slime the size of a watermelon devouring dozens of 20+ foot-long draconian soldiers in one sitting would be a surreal event for any mortal, however
Azmond felt something different when he saw such an 'awesome' view.
Excitement welled up within his heart as his deep voice followed soon after.
"Asterion never ceases to surprise me when I'm least expecting it. First there was the introduction of cultivation and monsters, and now we even have slime's that can devour without limits.
Could there be a world any more spectacular than this one??"
His words were followed by him walking over to the peaceful black slime before he picked it up and returned all the 'treasures' back into his storage ring.
However
Something unexpected occurred in the midst of such a process.
Emu began to shine! It began to shine a bright, radiant golden light as his black, obsidian-like body began to change!
Azmond immediately let go of Emu before backing a few meters away. His elated expression turned to one of scrutinization as he contemplated the sudden occurrence of his little buddy.
After a few moments of pondering, it seemed like he had come to a conclusion.
"Is he going through some type of evolution? I mean Just look at those golden features beginning to pop up on its slimy body. If that isn't a metamorphic evolution process, then I don't know what is" Skeptical words flowed out as an apathetic expression emerged on his chiseled features.
He couldn't let his stolid facade crack away so easily, but if you were to take a look at the chaotic emotions buried deep within him, then you would see an immense amount of excitement building up!
Such an intense emotion was on the verge of erupting as he watched Emu go through an evolution!
His eyes never left the sight of his new little buddy becoming what he assumed was a higher or adult version of its previous self.
It didn't take a genius to understand that the depictions that he saw on the monolithswith the black and gold slimeswere what Emu was about to become!
........
** Whirl! ** ** Whoosh! **
The blaring sounds of golden Qi swirling around, consumed the space that sealed Azmond and gang off from the rest of the world!
Those whistling sounds only got louder as the cute black slime laying at the center of the altar had reached a Zenith in its transformation process.
"This is a truly exhilarating scene to witness." A hint of his immense excitement almost leaked through his indifferent voice.
However, no matter how hard he attempted to conceal his irrevocable zeal for the ongoing metamorphosis of his little buddy, the slightly distorted smile on his face immediately gave him away
He had not shown such visible emotions on his face in what felt like forever, but letting go sometimes wasn't always bad. The indifference that came along with the act of cultivation, added to his already simplistic personality only further amplified his apathetic nature.
That's just who he is
......
** Whirl! **
The evolution process was approaching its end as the little black slime was going through a multitude of drastic changes!
** BOOooOOM! **
Following a loud explosion, the little slime bobbed out of the swirling cyclone of golden Qi that surrounded him.
His little slimy body had become a few degrees bigger, as it now had the approximate size of an above-average watermelon. However, its size wasn't the most eye-catching feature it possessed
It was the gold accents and horns that now colored the slime like a beautiful, rich canvas!
It's eyes, now that it had some, were a dark gold hue in the shape of two small marbles that shone like the most expensive of jewels.
And on top of the little buddies head, were two resplendent gold horns that protruded outwards for a couple inches; they were the shape of little miniature gold pyramids.
Such a splendiferous look made Emu look like the most prized possession of an affluent sect! It's dazzling exterior was, however, dulled down by the twilight color that the rest of its body was
Nonetheless, in the eyes of Azmond, the black and gold contrasting together only made him think that the little Emu couldn't become any cooler!
What could beat gold and black after all??
Nothing!
The deep, raspy voice of his echoed out across the unscathed altar as he approached Emu. His hands stretched out as he grabbed his little buddy in one swift movement. After which, he immediately began to pet the slime with a small smile on his face.
And it didn't seem like Emu minded such abrupt actions as it made its signature squeaks.
"Mhmu!" "Mhmu!"
It bounced around in his arms with an expression that said it couldn't be any more happy right now!
It had absorbed dozens of large 'lizard corpses' with the help of this foreign creature after all!
How could it not be happy??
Not to mention that the pets were good
