Slime Evolution Chapter 13 - Gelatinous Battle!

Lohan’s body needed a total of 8 Biomass to increase its size by 30% and reinforce the exoskeleton around his body.

His diater, which was previously 13 centiters, has now grown to 16 centiters.

Unfortunately, this skill did not make him grow exponentially, it only gave him a 30% growth based on his base size.

If he found another way to get bigger, this skill would also increase along with it, but if his original size remained at only 10 centiters, each level of [Mass Expansion] would only increase his size by 3 centiters.

But Lohan wouldn’t complain, 3 centiters was nothing for his human body, but for a small Sli, 3 centiters more in diater than its opponent was the sa as 46% more volu, an overwhelming advantage!

It is worth noting that the Sli he killed was even bigger than his current size.

If it weren’t for his strategy, exoskeleton, greater speed, and better body control, Lohan would be at a great disadvantage against that Sli.

And that was no surprise, since it had been several days since Lohan’s group of Slis was born, it was possible that the Sli he devoured had already devoured several other Slis before, proving that it was an elite Sli.

Unfortunately for him, an Elite Sli was still just a silly Sli.

And luckily for Lohan, after an hour he spotted another Sli.

His body had already absorbed enough Biomass to replenish what he had "lost" while growing and reinforcing his exoskeleton, so he was ready for another fight.

Suddenly, his [Instinctive Perception] picked up movent ahead, among a relatively large bush, small vibrations occurred sporadically, causing the bush to vibrate and suddenly decrease in size.

Stopping, Lohan tried his best to camouflage himself and observe.

A few minutes later, in front of him was a Sli the size of himself, that is, smaller than the previous Sli he had killed.

This could only an one thing: that Sli’s strong point was so other Skill.

Observing that other Sli, Lohan realized that despite being small, the speed at which that Sli devoured the surrounding bushes was very fast.

’Maybe it has an efficient level 6 digestion like mine, or even level 7... its speed is much faster than the previous Sli, but still slower than mine... the resistance of its skin mbrane is fragile... in general, the risk of this confrontation is low.’

Just as a guarantee, even though he saw that the risk of facing this Sli was low, Lohan still paid 2.62 Biomass to evolve another skill.

[Hemolymphatic Tissue Lv 1 -> Lv 2]

[During combat or under active damage, the conversion of absorbed matter into vital energy is accelerated by 40%.]

Increasing the already large 20% increase by another 20%, for a price as low as 2.62 Bio, was a great investnt for him, now that he was going into combat.

’I should have bought this upgrade when I went to deal with the ants... but I already had so much to invest my Biomass in that I didn’t find any opportunities.’

Fortunately, the absorption of other living organisms was so lucrative that Lohan could finally focus on buying more upgrades like this.

The Sli in front of him was rolling around carefree while absorbing the environnt, showing no signs of alertness, probably having no detection ability, which was great for Lohan.

In just a few minutes, the Sli got close enough to him, and Lohan went on the attack.

The sudden movent startled the little creature, but instead of trying to turn and run away, it also began rolling toward Lohan, confident that it could win this battle.

"What’s going on? Where does this confidence co from?"

Seeing the fearless way that Sli was acting made Lohan worried.

But he also had confidence, so in a few seconds the impact ca.

Splash

The two Slis collided, and the first to suffer from the impact was the small Sli, whose jelly body spread and slowly disintegrated upon contact with Lohan’s hard mbrane.

But unlike the almost liquid body he expected to find, what Lohan found was a dense body, with the hardest and most resistant jelly he had ever seen.

The impact of Lohan’s thick mbrane with the body of that Sli only spread a small part of his opponent’s body around, but that did not deter the creature.

With surprising bravery, the other Sli did its best to spread its jelly around Lohan, trying to corrode his hard shell.

Lohan’s body was as liquid as any other newborn Sli, as he had no density enhancent skills, so he knew that if his exoskeleton was corroded, he would be in serious danger.

So a "bloody" and "brutal" battle was taking place.

In Lohan’s view, the two were engaging and trying their best to cannibalize each other, devouring each other’s "flesh" and using it as fuel to beco stronger and devour even more of their opponent.

To another spectator, it just looked like those two Slis were hugging and rubbing against each other while squishy sounds occurred between them.

Fortunately for Lohan, with his opponent’s attack, [Hemolymphatic Tissue Lv 2] activated and his attack power increased by 40%!

That extra 40% attack power was the key to accelerating Lohan’s digestion, allowing him to consu the other Sli’s body as easily as he would a Sli with normal density.

While his opponent struggled to break through Lohan’s exoskeleton, Lohan was quickly consuming his jelly.

Within a minute, Lohan’s mbrane began to show small holes, exposing the almost liquid jelly inside him. From that point on, if his opponent had enough digestive power, it would only be a matter of seconds before he reached Lohan’s core.

But Lohan didn’t just stand by and let his opponent do that.

With [Structural Stability Lv 2], Lohan extended part of his jelly forward through the hole in his exoskeleton like a sharp spear, penetrating 2 centiters deeper into the opponent’s sli and finally touching its core!

The Sli thought victory was assured, imagining that it would be able to consu Lohan’s soft and fragile interior, but when it felt this sudden attack penetrating its own body, an unprecedented sense of crisis arose.

-- BOOOMM!!!!

As if sothing had cracked ntally, the Sli tried to attack and flee at the sa ti, desperate to survive, but with Lohan’s superior speed, it couldn’t get away.

In a few seconds, Lohan took control of his opponent’s core, and the jelly froze for a second, then liquefied, spilling onto the floor.

Looking at this "nutritious serum" in front of him, Lohan smiled ntally and began to devour everything, while a notification appeared in front of him.
