บท 152: Cleo's show

"Isn't it a bit... too easy?" Marvin asked, kicking away yet another slime. 

Under the force of his kick, the slime fell towards the wall, only for the force of impact once it struck it to shatter its core. 

"Man, we are still on the seventh floor," Tom replied, rolling his eyes. "How long ago did you play Dungeons online for the last time?" he asked, shaking his head in disbelief. 

"A good year or so?" Marvin replied, kicking away another slime. 

"Can I try fighting those slimes too?" the young boy asked, looking at the ongoing fight with sparks in his eyes. 

"There is no need for that," Tom shook his head. "I do not doubt your bravery, but you are still too young to fight with monsters," he added, sending the boy a smile. 

"Mister, if you are that strong, why are you not fighting yourself?" the young boy asked, clearly dissatisfied with Tom's answer. "My parents would let me fight those slimes..." he added in a mutter under his nose.
