[@Zeroth]

Ed barely flinched or lost focus when the fanged lizard tried to struggle free from his jaws. Its attempts of escape only gave him more reason to apply more pressure into the bite. Ed was getting used to the feeling of taking a life. He wasn't even sure if the monsters he had attacked and mercilessly slayed were previously human. The thought in itself disturbed Ed deeply...but also sent tingles down his spine. He kept his gaze on the lifeless body of the fanged lizard for a couple seconds before something immediately forced its way into his thoughts.

[color=chocolate]'What the living hell?'[/color] Was the only thought Ed had the time to think of before he saw the slime crush the dying dire rat before absorbing it into his mass. The slime had grown much larger than the young dire rat and it seemed to loom before him even from the distance. The slime was not in prime condition though, the lizard's poison was doing its job well, and the slime was getting closer and closer to death's door. Great is the weapon that cuts on its own. Even if the slime was weakened, Ed kept his eyes close on the slime and kept his ears open to the slightest sound; his entire being ready to counter and react if the slime did anything. He could wait for the poison to kill, or at the least weaken, the slime but kept his guard up. He was angry, not foolish. When the time is right, when the slime makes a mistake. Ed would make sure it would be its last.
