Even though the meat soup was so bland it was barely salty, Slick still wiped his mouth vigorously and shouted, "Tasty!"
"That's good!"
Splat!
Before the words finished, a mushroom suddenly burst through the tough scales and flesh on Slick's thigh, erupting with bloody splatter!
"Aaaaah—!" The excruciating pain that felt like his bones being engraved overwhelmed Slick instantly, making him scream as he rolled on the ground.
"W-what the hell is this?!" He stared fearfully at the bizarre mushroom on his leg, unable to comprehend what had happened.
Splat, splat... More mushrooms slowly and cruelly broke through his scale armor one after another, emerging.
The prisoners watched the scene in horror—Slick, who had just been smugly accepting his "award," had turned into this wretched and terrifying sight in an instant.
