chapter two; section nine

The slime had only moments to react. Instinctively the slime reached out to punch Mario. Now in a normal situation Mario would have easily avoided the slow punch and killed the slime in one blow. However, Mario was so angry that by the time he had realized what had happened; it was too late. The punch connected squarely in Mario’s mouth and killed him instantly. The slime then tried to salvage the situation. He stole Mario’s cloak and searched his pockets to see if he had anything of value on him. Finding nothing, the slime left and hoped that it wouldn’t get in trouble. Although the man’s death had been accidental, people would never hesitate to blame creatures that were not human. The slime counted the money it had gained from killing the evil slime. The leather pouch contained only 2 gold. The slime was disappointed.
