Gilb could sense the firebolt trying to form out of the young sorceress' fingertips. In his past life, the slime had used that spell enough times to basically know when someone was even thinking of casting it. Despite seeing the woman's multiple failed attempts at forming the flaming projectile earlier, Gilb did not wish to chance being struck by a lucky shot. Before she could cast the spell, Gilb utilized the lightning reflexes this slimy form granted him and launched himself towards his target.
"Wha-!" She managed to gasp as the small slime flew up towards her with a speed that was completely unexpected.
Gilb had aimed his launch at the woman's head, hoping to knock her back and senseless so he could make a quick escape. To both of their surprise, the small slime's trajectory ended up aimed right at the young sorceress' mouth, which was currently gaping open in surprise at the creature's sudden movement. Time seemed to slow for the small slime as he soared towards the bullseye. Instead of panicking and trying to avert his destination, Gilb quickly realized that this was an even better outcome. Expertly angling his amorphous slippery body, Gilb's slimy form flew straight into her maw and slithered down her throat with a loud slurp.
Too late, the young sorceress eyes widened in surprise as she clamped a hand over her mouth. Her throat instinctively gulped the slithering creature down her gullet, and she could feel its warm slippery form spread down into her. She fell back and landed seated on her ass atop a soft patch of moss and weeds with a small gasp. She stared down at her stomach as it released a loud gurgle, and she placed a hand to her abdomen at the feeling of movement deep inside of her.
"I...I..." She stuttered, the surprise and shock making it difficult process what had just happened.
Now inside the woman, Gilb could sense her emotions and her magic. He could feel her rising terror and dread after what he had just did. No doubt she was afraid that she was about to meet a grisly fate of being eaten alive from the inside out. However, the slime knew that she need not fear such a fate. He had much better uses for her now.
