Chapter 73: Big bouncy blue boss appears

...

Marvelous, absolutely marvelous.

Not only did my home get invaded by a strange hive of Slimes that seemed to be angry for no reason at all... they were also raining from the sky!

Furthermore, Pinky actually went and destroyed my home with everything inside it  without a speck of remorse... INCLUDING MY BED.

I was beyond furious, so I decided to try a few new methods of torture in this little midget. And they seemed to work pretty well, he skirmished a lot while getting boiled from inside and having its slime muscles burned away. Maybe I could implement this new methods in the future against the cultists...

Agh, what am I thinking... I am a peaceful guy who only wants to sleep all day, stop thinking about shady things, stupid brain.

"You finally came back, huh? It took you quite a while"

From behind me, Evvie appeared and sat on the ground with an exhausted expression on her face.

It was pretty obvious at this point that this was Terraria's special event, the Slime rain. I had yet to forget about many things about Terraria thanks to my enhanced brain, and this wasn't an exception.

This game event made slimes to start raining upon all over the map, but aside from that, there wasn't anything else worth mentioning. That was all pretty much that there was to the slime rain. Suddenly having a slime fall directly on your head, or maybe finding "Pinky" like I just did. Heck, if you were lucky you might have the luck to have one of the slimes drop you a slime staff which summons a small slime that fights for you, just like Neo, but a slime instead of a bird.

However, there was a special condition in that event that if you killed 150 slimes or so, the King Slime could appear and battle you.

I don't know how this could work in reality, but there was one thing that I knew. I didn't want to fight the King Slime.

Why not, you may ask? Well, here's my question for you, Why yes?

I didn't want to bring here a giant monstrosity that probably weighed more than dozens of tons, and that was probably gonna be jumping around my base destroying everything with every stomp it performed.

Moreover, what did assure me that this King Slime actually just jumped around like the one in the game? If it was intelligent enough to wear a crown and know that he was the King of all Slimes, then it should be also intelligent enough to do something else aside from jumping around like a retard.

Who knows? Maybe he can use some strange high-pressurized gel cannon that could pierce through Boulders as if they were made of butter, or maybe he could suddenly grow dozens of limbs/tentacles using the incredibly vast amount of gel inside its body, or maybe he could use his magical powers to summon Cthulhu right here  and right now in order to destroy all things inside this WORLD.

Well, maybe I'm being too paranoid here. But I still don't want to fight it.

What's that.... rewards? Do you eat it?

All the rewards I remember having after things like these are a very nice post-traumatic stress disorder that attacks me every once in a while, Psychopath like tendencies that arise every once in a while when I find myself dealing with troublesome situations, and even a bit of Schizophrenia! I mean, who am I even trying to explain all this in the first place?!

So in summary... Big boss with potential rewards that might allow me to grow in strength? Very tempting, but I pass.

*Boooom!*

...

Of course, this world never allows me to refuse anyways. Not like I expected it to allow me to live quietly for once in the first place...

As I looked behind me, I saw a gigantic and majestic blue slime standing there while wearing a beautiful and giant as well Golden crown on top of its oval-shaped body. Its high was probably over 15 meters, and it was like 30 meters wide. Covering a great part of the area within the walls I built.

Inside its body there were the rests of what seemed to be a human body. However, Fortunately for my own view, there were only a few bones, ribs, and a skull lingering around inside its body, otherwise the view could have been a lot more grotesque.

This was probably because most of the meat in that human body had probably already digested by the slime long ago. 

"Hey Aspen, why did you suddenly start running in this direction without waiting for me? Is this your house? I must say that my old mansion was a few times better than this, but whatever, tastes are taste- WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?!"

"That thing, my friend, is the representation of this interminable cycle of Fighting, surviving, and fighting again... That's all I seem to live for..."

*BUROBUROBUROBURO*

Suddenly, the giant body of the King Slime started trembling while the surrounding ground started shaking as if an earthquake struck this area out of nowhere.

I suppose that it was some kind of Roar characteristic of the King of Slimes. But since they don't have vocal cords, they can only move the ground in order to inflict fear on its prey.

I have used gel so much during my fights, be it on giant gel bombs, creating torches, covering the bodies of my enemies in gel so that I could set them on fire easily... But now, my own weapons turn against me... So I guess I will have to use a new method for fighting this thing...

Or that's what I could say if this guy wasn't just a giant ball made out of pure gel, Aka, the most Flammable creature in the world.

*Fuooosh!*

Right when I took a torch out from my inventory, the King slime flinched slightly and receded a bit away from me. It obviously knew what fire could do to its body.

As I glanced into its deep insides, which somehow seemed to resemble its eyes, a screen popped up in front of me and showed me everything I needed to know about this guy.

(A/N: That's King slime, in case you didn't know. Just that the version Aspen is fighting at least three times bigger than the one in the image. Also, ignore the guys on the sides, they don't exist here. Another awesome work made by Bohrokki on DevianArt)
