Chapter 5 - The Great Fire Lord!

I went towards that giant slime, and the grass around was on fire, and I was speechless about how nobody noticed all this fire forming.

A system message came up.

The slime seemed like a boss battle from does action RPG games that mortals play. The enemy was giving me the heatstroke whenever it came closer to me.

But I had to do something about this thing; however, at that time, I didn't think Zeus would give me a weapon to defeat this slime.

It made me and the environment around me burn up. It didn't even try to use its main attack on me. It was moving slowly to taunt me that you don't need to see me using my main attack, the flames were approaching me.

'You served the cold of the White Void while being completely naked, but you can't handle a little heat from slime with clothing? Come on, Divider, you are the son of the Math King!'

I tried to convince myself not to run away from the fight until I saw it dead! Somehow, it worked; when I did not run away from the monster, a bladed weapon appeared from the heavens and went into my hands.

The blade had a red handle with hummingbirds painted over its steel, and the sword looked more like a double-handed than one-handed, but it was a one-handed blade, and there was a note dangling from the pommel.

I read it when I hid behind a rock between two trees, and the slime was still at the same movement speed as before, but it's was getting hot every step it took.

I ripped the small envelope from the pommel, and I opened it, and then I read it.

[Hello. Divider, I gave you this blade to help you defeat the "Great Fire Lord until you get better weapons.

Love, Zeus!]

The letter was written in English, and it was in cursive. It was beautiful cursive, not like a doctor's handwriting.

Every word I read was beautiful that made my heart explode, and it was so easy to understand that it seemed like a mortal girl confessed to me under a cherry tree, and I accepted her love.

But the love shortly ended when my wife cheated on me with this fire blob! Oh, and the letter got burned into ashes.

Oh, the humanity of this creature, first he taunts me, but it was not enough for it, so he steals my wife too! He's too dangerous to keep it alive!

I had to do something about this slime for stealing my wife away, and then I will do something about my ex-wife later.

I ran towards the slime while screaming out of my lunges, and for the first time, the heat did not give me a heat stroke.

I saw the slime start getting scared of me when it fired its primary attack at me; the main weapon was a tiny flaming cannonball.

I dodged and dodged like a ninja. I avoided the fireball for a minute straight to reach it. And that time of the day came when I was closer to it than its girlfriend ever be. Before the slime knew it, I slashed it in half.

And then slime evaporated into nothingness, and surrounding grasses were not burning alive. The fire went away after the monster got slain.

Weapon's backstory:

Hummingbirds once were many of them until a mass died from natural disasters, and humans and other predators hunted them, but only four birds were left in this world.

Time passed, the females of the family lay the egg and slowly brought back the population of the hummingbirds. One day a random scientist found all four hummingbirds in a single nest while exploring Earth.

She brought them to her lab, fed all of them, and did some research on them. That research was how to make the birds multiple faster than in a neutral way.

It took her a month to find the answer to her research, so she experimented with them, but the test was not working; they didn't go wrong, though.

She gives up after a year of failed attempts, so she keeps them as pets. Many years later, the scientist decided to go to a blacksmith to ask to make a sword for hummingbirds. This is how the blade was made.

A lot of nonfiction from the system dinged in my mind. This time, I did not get dizzy from massages in my head because I got used to it.

I was surprised that the Four Hummingbirds felt like I was holding a feather instead of a sword.

"Wow, this sword is to swing, wait?" On the grass, I saw that slime was still somehow alive, but it was small as an ant, and it felt it was useless, so I let it go, but that was a terrible mistake I made back then!

"This thing will not bother me and anyone anymore." I went my merry way to grind more XP to level up my stats.

I grind my level to level 4; my stats went up to, let me tell the new updates.

My attack went up to 190

My defense went up to 275

My magic attack is still zero.

Luck went up to 4

My SP went up to 14

***

And the other two are still the same. Anyway, When I reached level 4, I barely got any XP fighting monsters after reaching level 4.

I need ten thousand XP to reach level five, and that's high for just being ranked four.

I went back to the town to search for Hades, but I did not see him anywhere in the city, so I think he was inside the castle.

Oh, but my looks changed; they are similar to my natural body and not my previous human form.

My human body has lushes green hair, crystal blue eyes, and a long wood color beard to top of that. I mean is that nobody in the castle will recognize me.

I went back to the town; this time, I explored the city instead of being inside that castle.

When I was looking for things to buy, suddenly the ground moved, "Gammaquake?" The fish market worker said.

Suddenly, people start running, and the buildings start lit on fire, "Run!" The fish market owner told me when he ran when he saw something.

And funny thing is, I did not even notice that there was a quake; it was probably because I was Math Human.

It was not just the shakings I didn't notice; it was the fire, people screaming and running differently.

When I noticed the temperature got hot, I turned around, and I saw colossal fire slime in the distance, causing carnage!

I got my sword and ran towards it to level up and help the people!
