Asura was surprise Jason was able to get off anything after being pancaked by Mother Slime. But he was bounced back with a grunt. He was thankful he had his resistances and Harder to mitigate a good bit of the damage. He popped the herb he stole, restoring himself to full or close enough and started to move back. Mother Slime was rolling towards him with worried sounds which earned her a light touch. Don't worry, I'm doing alright. He thought to her but did accept one of the herbs she was offering.

Asura was moving towards Jason who was chanting now. He just kept on coming, like a juggernaut. He was still pissed but a body only had so much adrenaline and he was completely out of Stamina so any attack he did would probably take away from his Hit Points. But Jason did something dumb, he stabbed himself and killed himself. Fucking suiciders.

Still that sound agitated him, like really loud and really bad dial-tone from the human world. Why did this world keep around such sounds when they didn't fuckin have the tech to produce them?! Whatever, Jason was dead and spreading across the floor. Anything he was holding was left on the dirt floor, which seemed to be a single rather large and green crystal. Asura was drawing close to it when a damned wisp came down and started to lift it with their magic.

"I'd advise you to drop that, boy. You didn't earn it." He growled, despite the pain he sent a Slime Whip out as fast as he possibly could to hold onto the Source Crystal. While he was preoccupied he could see the lizards gearing up for more. "Ardur! Mother! Get rid of those Lizards please and thank you!" He called out. He hauled himself up by the Source Crystal, letting Danny's magic fully support his weight and away from where the Lizards had initially aimed. Their Poison Spit wasn't like a bullet, faster than reaction time. But he still didn't feel like getting hit by them right now.

Asura snarled as Jason spoke. "You have nothing to explain, boy! Trading Mother Slime for a fucking automaton that's held together by fucking magic!" The red slime roared as he seemed to glow from the rage he had. A left over trait from his human days? He had been well known for his eyes seemingly glowing red when he was getting royally pissed off.

Jason stopped moving for whatever reason, digesting the rat? Trying to see how a ball of bile moved? Asura didn't know nor did he particularly care. His attacks had landed and the stone covered slime wasn't faring to well at this point. But he knew the cocky fuck had some more herbs in there, he hadn't just brought those crystals, and he had seen him lose some of the damage right at the start.

However Ardur landing as a flaming figure on his tendrils made him growl and pull them back briefly. As the small flaming pixie talked and Jason hollered a ceasefire, Asura began to move slowly. His tendrils snaked back until he was just a slime blob again, albeit a melty one with a new herb. "You act like a human is special. Humans aren't, they're animals and always will be no matter how many new brain functions they get." Asura growled out as he continued to circle. He could see the wisp up near the ceiling hovering near some of those damned mana crystals. Was that Jason's new plan? To get more mana to try and use his stupid magic again?

His stamina was dangerously low at this point so he had to pick what he did wisely while Ardur talked some more. "Better? I'm not trying to be better. That's what I fucking did while human. This world lets me be who I truly am, no laws or police around to enforce their moral code on me! He exclaimed angrily, his body nearly bubbling with how angry he was. Decades of anger and urges that had been repressed were coming out.

Of course while they talked Mother Slime did what Mother Slimes do. She came bouncing into the scene with a tremendous Mash before rolling a little ways away. This opportunity wouldn't come again and Asura snaked forward, surging around Ardur like a sea of blood. I have no desire to hurt you boy, but you're terribly naive. Whatever you said about corruption, that sticks and it sticks for a long time. He needs to be killed because he will never change. He thought to Ardur with that base slime telepathy.

Asura used what little stamina he had left, and Overworked to try and Smash the flattened Jason as hard as he literally could. He was holding onto that stolen herb until he felt it was necessary just in case Jason didn't die from this blow. He'd be losing hit points again due to that Stamina loss, almost guaranteed.

Asura watched the brief scuffle between the Dire Rat and Jason. It got a good bite in before something cracked. Probably its neck considering the death speed. A tad disappointing but it did what he wanted, it took down his health at least a little bit. Some of the Fanged Lizards poison landed on him and it burned a bit. A slight shift and he scraped it off on the dirt as he avoided the next projectiles nimbly. It was like dodging snowballs thrown by kids back in the real world. Except snowballs didn't hurt unless the kid was a rock packing prick. Those ones got eaten by snowmen.

A feminine voice rang out, one of the Dire Rats from before was speaking. He could see Mother Slime looked well and Ardur was there. Still, Asura was not going to let this go and his aggressive posture did not change. "To keep her safe this shithead needs to die!" He hollered back as he darted in. His body seemed to split apart before four ten foot long tendrils took shape. They were thin and pointed, looking like a rapier while the base of his body remained mobile.

Each of those tendrils whipped about for a moment before coming at Jason quickly. It was like being attacked by four people at once and rapiers were not something people from 2018 fought against. The spikes thrust at Jason, going to puncture as deep as they could and occasionally one would whip across the surface of him to leave deep scratches. Certain rapiers held no edge, true, but that tip was always razor sharp.

Assuming a rapier plunged in it would change into a clawed hand. Grasping at whatever it could within the other slime. Was he hunting for items? Or a core of some sort? Or just to rip out some of Jason's inner goo to weaken him further? Only Asura and his madness knew right now. And for those paying attention, no Asura was not remaining stationary during all this, he was constantly dancing around Jason to prevent him from running away again. The movements were swift but no movement was wasted, no energy lost without doing something important.

Asura didn't even grunt when Jason lunged back and used a point blank touch Mind Wave on him. He was curious as to why he had used a Warcry and that was answered soon enough. A pair of hisses rung out at the crest of the hills. "Not only do you attack my child you subjugate other living beings for your own purposes." He said, his voice frighteningly void of emotions. Another hiss and a Dire Rat was going for Jason, it seemed he hadn't taken over every being in this cave.

The red slime rolled back while simultaneously going to push Jason towards the Rat. Trying to get the two to engage while he avoided the poison blobs flying through the air He'd let the pair fight while he digested what he had absorbed from the ground. He wasn't being lazy either, he was watching Jason, the ground, and the pair of Fanged Lizards. As pissed off as he was he was keeping his focus on what he truly wanted. He refused to let his rage take him over completely, just enough to enhance, not enough to lose his mind completely.

I take no joy in using that Rat, but I've never been a fair fighter either. He thought. Even if it died instantly that was resources that Jason couldn't use against him. He had noticed just how many mana crystals all the magic users had plowed through. Mana didn't recharge rapidly here like it did in video games. Stamina seemed to go the same way, he had to eat to make it refill. But as per usual the Stamina charged slow while magic zipped up in a single go.

It seemed his acidic body wasn't strong enough to work the stone as fast as he moved it through his body. Still it was covered, which was good enough since he was causing more damage. He recognized those bruises on Jason's membrane, he had sported them before to work on his own resistances. A system message that his Stamina was getting low lit up in his mind which made him snarl internally. To mitigate this drain, aside from eating, he stopped using Smash and he simplified his form into that of a ball. Simple, useful, and he was familiar with it.

The red blob was still hauling ass, and while he watched Jason he could see how he was acting. And that he had healed some. Probably from an herb, which Asura had none of. Then again I've used only four these past few days. He thought. Starting to think more Asura stopped using Item Throw I, conserving more of his Stamina and even shut down Overwork. He knew he'd out last Jason who had gone down a magical path. Whereas Asura has gone down the physical.

Their chase went a little longer before they wound up in a little arena of dirt mounds. The fuck was making these? Was it undead 'pods'? He didn't know what was going on in the cave really, he had meant to be leaving the cave damn it. Whatever, he could hit Jason from here. A pseudopod shot straight out at Jason who was still trying to out run him.While they tore across the ground Asura was still extremely mindful of the ground. Stone Shot hadn't been killing shots previously so he knew he could take some of them. He hadn't experienced that Rock Spike or whatever it was, but he had seen it used enough times to know what to look for.

As they hit the opposite slope in the little 'arena' it'd take Jason longer to scoot up that than Asura would take going across flat ground. Another Slime Whip rocketed out to try and hit the other Slime. It probably wouldn't hurt as much as a Smash nor just a full force blow since he wasn't able to get the momentum to make it stronger. But even tinks could kill giants if you were smart enough. Or persistent enough.

Asura was annoyed as he missed so much but the closer he got the more accurate he got. Some of the bone shards hit, but it was the stones he hurled that seemed to hurt more. Probably because he was applying Smash to them. He was gaining on Jason but it wasn't as fast as before, but still. Progress was progress. Those eyes littering his form seemed to get a joyful look with each time he struck the stone based slime.

Then he got a new skill. Throw Item I. Did that make him more accurate? He didn't care, he just continued to pick pebbles and stones up to launch them as hard as he could with Smash I. "You're on borrowed time, boy!" He roared as he shoved himself to go as fast as his body would let him go. Soon his body was eating at the stones, sharpening them while letting some remain blunt. Sharp disks of stone flew like frisbees, minus the arcing they normally did.

Asura was honestly surprised he hadn't been hit by a magical attack, nor by a System Message saying his Stamina was low. So he continued with his ravenous pace while also continuing to act like vacuum cleaner. Sucking up literally everything at this point. Sediments, algae, mold, lichen, rocks, twigs, insects. The sediments, plant life, and insects were pulverized by his acidic body. The stones were continued to be throw at a rapid pace. As it entered, he ate away at its surface to smooth it, before launching it with a wet crack.
