“Thank you, Slade. I suppose that you really are male,” Violet said as she stroked her lips.

Slade was wobbling over her, licking and cleaning her body. He stared at her in confusion.

“No male rook has ever answered my summoning rituals. Probably because I looked too ugly. To think that you’ve accepted my otherworldly call, not only to serve an old hag like me but also to be a toilet slime… That is beyond my comprehension,” she said.

She kissed the slime.

“That’s why I’ll take good care of you,” she said with a blooming smile.

He shook in frustration and guilt.

Like hell I accepted the otherworldly call! Even after dodging the truck, it made a 180° drift to run me over!

“What is it?”

[Skill: Alchemical Synthesize activated. Reflective coating has been synthesized.]

His external membrane turned into a mirror and showed Violet’s face.

“Huh, is that how you see me? Oh, you’re saying that I am pretty! You’re so cute,” she said as she rubbed her face on him.

He took her dagger lying on the bedside stand and unsheathed it. She widened her eyes at her own reflection.

“N-No way, it wasn’t some kind of illusion magic?”

She held her forehead, swept by vertigo. She checked the slime’s status window.

“Come to think of it, you don’t have illusion related skills, but you do have Skin Care,” she mumbled.

Slade furiously nodded.

“Oh wow, you’re my best creation so far!”

She embraced Slade, while he hesitatingly reciprocated the hug with his short stumps.

“Hmm… I wish I could grant you a body to hug me back.”

The slime slipped inside her clothes and tickled her.

“Haha, stop… Wait, that’s it!” Violet screamed.

The warlock slammed the door open, standing in front of the village hall building. She dropped her grimoire. It floated with its pages flipped open instead of falling down. 

Light sprung from her glowing index. The finger danced in the air, reproducing the written symbols of the spell book. Sweat trickled down from Violet’s forehead as more sigils stacked in front of her.

“Summon Earth Elemental!” 

Sigils spread from Violet’s feet.

The whole cave shook with the grinding sound of shattering stones. 

A three meter tall earth golem rose from the wall of the dungeon.

The ground trembled every time its feet stomped the ground. It threateningly walked towards Slade who trembled in fear, squeezing himself between Violet’s feet to hide.

Whot the fuck is that?!

The warlock gently caught him and put him in the abdomen of the kneeling golem.

“Use your symbiosis skill. Try to take control of this golem,” she said.

[Skill: Symbiosis activated.]

The slime’s body stretched and slithered into the joints of the golem like a network of blood vessels.

The contrast between crawling on the ground and seeing from the golem’s top was dizzying. He looked at his giant hands, and at his sovereign who stood lower.

“It seems that it was a success! Pick me up and head to the forge.”

She closed her eyes and spread her arms wide. 

He carried her on his golem shoulder.

“A drawback of this spell is that I cannot control it if I don’t have it in my direct line of sight. But you seem to be able to control it without any problem.” 

They made their way in front of the forge. The female minotaur jumped out of the forge with a giant two handed axe in her hands, her breasts jiggling in readiness for battle.

“Who are you?! Are you attacking this dungeon?” she shouted.

Violet hopped from Slade’s hand onto the ground.

“This is not an enemy attack. You can be at ease, Milia” she said.

“This voice!? No way, are you the boss?”

“Oh that’s right, you’re not used to my youthful appearance,” she giggled.

The minotaur sighed in relief. She was confused for a moment, then she tensed again.

“Why would you bring a golem here? Are you planning to beat me up?”

Violet flashed a smile.

“It’s nothing like that, don’t worry! My toilet slime is currently piloting this special golem, so it can fight autonomously for a few days. I would like you to evaluate its performance by having a duel against you,” she said as she walked to the sides.

The troglodytes watched the forge from afar and started to cheer. Lorely landed on the blacksmith’s rooftop, attracted by the excitement.

“Hmpf, alright. I’ll show you that I am this dungeon’s Strongest!”
