And into the fire

The slime girl oozes back a few feet, staring at the combined pair after they so easily took out her minion. "I-I don't believe this! You freakin' transformed?" the monster exclaims.

Belphegor takes a quick moment to review their stats before bothering to answer her. Strength 6 +10. Agility 8 +10. Endurance 6 +10. Intellect 9 +10. Wisdom 8 +10. Charisma 7 +10. Libido 37 +10.

'Now that's more like it!' they think to themselves, before checking their skills.

Fire Resistance lvl 5 - The demon skin in your merged form grants you resistance to high temperatures and heat. You can even withstand molten lava for a short period of time.

Ice Weakness lvl 3 - Hellfire demons have a natural weakness to the cold. Cold temperatures will weaken you and ice attacks and magics will cause serious damage.

"Hello! Are you bitches listening to me?" the slime girl screams at them, snapping Belphegor out her concentration.

Belphegor lets out a belch, having finished digesting the slime core in her stomach. A pop up appears to show she gained experience.

Gained 15 experience

"Let's be real here. You don't stand a chance against us in this form. How about you--" the demon hybrid begins to say, but before she can finish, a terrible roar echoes through the land.

"Oh shit! Not him! Not him!" the slime girl cries out, suddenly shivering in fear. Her remaining minion panics, and breaks free of her control, disappearing back into the lava.

"What the hell was that?" Belphegor asks the slime, before the sound returns, louder this time.

"It's the boss of this domain. A dragon of terrifying power. He eats slimes for dinner." she says, seeming to forget that they had just finished eating one of her minions.

"Wait. Can't you just escape into the lava like your little friend did?" they ask her. The sounds of wings flapping can be heard, coming closer and closer.

"No. We can't actually submerge ourselves in lava, only skim along the top. The dragon sees us and scoops down with his mighty jaws and--" she starts to explain, but another roar, much closer this time, interrupts her.

The slime girl turns around, and they both watch as the dragon swoops down above the lava, opening its maw like a pelican and scooping up lava, along with the fleeing slime, into its gullet. It then lifts off and lands on a nearby rock, before tilting its head back and swallowing the slime down with the lava. It then turns its attention to the slime girl.

"Oh Gaia! It sees me! I'm next!" the slime girl cries. Belphegor take a moment to examine the dragon.

Hades Dragon Whelp lvl 20 - The juvenile form of the mighty ruler of hades. While its skin hasn't hardened into a nearly impenetrable obsidian yet, its tough scales and muscles still provide a solid defense. Its power level is off the charts, and its massive jaws can crush a car like a tin can.

"It's looking at both of us, so the way we see it, we have one chance." Belphegor says. "We can't stay in the lava for long, and you can't submerge yourself in lava. But if we merge together, we can dive into the lava and wait this thing out."

The dragon lets out a terrifying roar, and extends its wings. "Oh Gaia! It's coming! Anything you want! Just don't let it me!" the slime girl says.

The demon hybrid nods. "Okay then. Let's make thus quick. Dual merge!" they shout, just as the dragon lifts off.

Belphegor begins to glow, as the magma gel girl breaks apart into various bubbles. Those bubbles start merging around the demon's body, forming bracelets of slime around their wrists and ankles. Flames shoot out of the the bracelets much like they did for the slimes.

A slime choker appears around their neck, and a main of fire wraps around it, like a scarf made entirely of flames. Finally, the magma gel core slams between their breasts, embedding itself into their skin as they let out a sensual moan.

You learned dual merge! Now you can merge with two monsters from the dungeon simultaneously, further increasing your power!

The dragon flies right toward them, it's mouth opening wide to swallow them. The hybrid falls backward into the lava, where they sink down into it, just evading the dragons lethal jaws.

"Let's see you reach us down here!" Belphegor says with a toothy grin. "Just you wait. One day we're going to turn you into dragon skin shoes!" they promise as they sink deeper into the lava.

Once they sink deep enough, Belphegor folds their arms and legs inwards towards their chest, and then extends them in one fluid motion. "Dungeon escape!" They yell, as the reality around them shatters, and they collapse into a heap on Bella's kitchen floor.
