Chapter 2004 2004. Find That Slime

"I can't reforge any of your armor. I have no idea how it is made originally, and I lack the right materials. The acid damage is also a little too deep in it…" Walker's sorrow for the pile of armor pieces was too great. He knew that he lacked the higher class skills to reforge it all.

"That is not an issue. It is better that you can bring it somewhere that it can be reused instead of being left behind in the wilderness." the angels all felt this way. They knew that Genesis would have someone that could recycle the armor.

Most of the angels also had to keep new injuries covered in bandages. The damaged armors would cut in to their bodies or they would worsen the healing injuries. As much as Alice had wanted to heal them fully, she had to understand why she could not.

Just like Walker, she had limitations. If she healed all the angels that they had encountered, then the angels would be too tired to continue. Accelerating healing like this was something all healers could do. But it used the body's natural energy. Nutrition too. It all was used to heal.

Therefore, the angels were healed and bandaged. It was why healing in multiple steps always gave the very best results. Or using potions would be more beneficial for injuries that needed a lot of healing. It was why healers still had potions too, they supplemented each other. Especially now that the alchemy guild worked well with everyone.

After Walker managed to kick aside the thoughts of how he should work more on solo forging to create and fix things, his mind went back to time.

"We have the time for now to make our way toward where they saw the lord acid slime using the smaller acid slimes to fight. Between us, we can easily make an opening so the brilliant slime can pierce through the bore. Then we just have to wipe away all the slimes. By then, that slime breeder won't have anything left to throw at us. He's a one trick pony.."

With this, the party began moving. The angels also split off. They were following the plan to direct slimes from the edges of the area that they were faced with the lord slime. That way, the party could easily handle all the slimes in a quick moment. After that, they could easily fight in to the depths of the marsh.

"I am worried a bit, the slimes already pushed in to the forest. We are an hour away from the marsh still." Su's speed had picked up making everyone move.

"Sister and I spotted signs of acid slimes eating away at the trees. They don't do that…" Onyx and Midnight had scouted well ahead of everyone. They had managed to find some things that did not look right whatsoever.

The acid slimes shouldn't be trying to harm the trees or anything like that. They should be eating away at metals as they would where they normally existed in nature. But here, they were being controlled and forced to eat at wood and other natural plants. It was a very bad thing since it would certainly lead to them suffering or dying outright.

"That just means we need to handle them faster." Gil took the lead this time. He did not like the sound of the slimes eating away at the forest they were cutting through. But his sudden burst of speed brought him right in to an oncoming slime.

"That yellow slime lacks a core too." Su's eyes spotted it right away. The yellow acid slime had a small tendril of slime connecting it to something far off outside the trees. But the slime was not necessarily coming for them. It was rubbing its body on the trees and absorbing small sprouts from the forest..?Intentionally damaging everything.

"Disgusting!" Gil dashed ahead yet again, but this time, he used a dagger he had dipped in Remey's basic potion to slash the tentacle attached to the slime.

Immediately, the part of slime body was neutralized. The tentacle had been severed and it could not immediately reattach to the slime body that it had kept ahold of. Therefore, the slime body fell in to a puddle of acid slime slowly eating away at the leaves on the ground. Remey quickly poured a potion on to it so that it would not be a risk to anything or anyone.

"We are moving! We need to follow that slime tentacle spo we can get to the lord acid slime. It might be affected by chaotic mana." Walker had a theory that the lord acid slime was destroying things and forcing the weaker slimes to do what it wanted for more than one reason.

It was Envy telling it to do this, yes, as a slime breeder, he had control over this. But beyond that, there was the chaotic mana. This would make the slime more apt to fight anything and everything around it.

Slimes already had a natural tendency to absorb things in their body as food or general sustenance. But with chaotic mana, it would be more easily manipulated to do so. Especially since the slime breeder clearly wanted destruction as a whole.

"Another two slime bodies being controlled there." Remey spotted them but ignored any chance to attack. She could feel that a bigger challenge was nearby.

Just a second later, the party heard some yelling. The elves were baiting and tricking the slime bodies to follow.

"I think that they are blind without cores on them. The tentacles are like feelers instead of actual bodies controlled by something." Gil could feel his theory was spot on. Just the actions from the slimes were perfect. But they had not realized that the slimes were retreating.

"I think that it knows we are coming. Be ready for that to change. The slimes will be able to see us if we get near the main lord slime. That means they will be more violent." Walker's warning brought Midnight in to a snarl. She did not like this at all. The slimes were already annoying because she had to be careful not to get covered in parts of it. They could ruin her scales for a long time.

When they all came to a sudden stop, it was apparent that they had underestimate the changes in the lord slimes. The brilliant slime was also considered small by comparison.

The large yellow slime was darker in color. Its larger core also showed off the size and strength that it had. Each smaller slime core seemingly rotating around its main core. But the size it had was where things stood out. The lord acid slime was large enough that it had burned away three tree trunks along with all the leaves on the round around it.

The small tentacles came off it toward slime bodies being pulled back toward the lord slime right that second. Yet, the party expected whips of tentacles or acid to shoot at them. The mana was enough to cause issues from those sorts of powerful attacks.

That wasn't happening though. "I think that it is too dense to move much. That means we can attack it as we want." Gil's theory was quickly proved wrong as the slime began to slowly roll. "Or it is too heavy to move fast…" Gil fired an arrow for good measure.

When the arrow was released, nothing special happened. Gil was using it to test the lord slime, not attack it with full force. He knew well that if the attacks he used caused an explosion or any violent reactions, that the slime body could be splattered all over. It would, in turn, cause the acid of the slime body to burn away many things, including them.

The moment that the arrow hit the lord acid slime, it stopped. It didn't pierce in to the body, but stopped, sticking right to it. Then it slowly started to break down. As the acid brought it in to the body of the slime. "So it is much tougher. That means it condensed its body already…"

Remey remembered that the slimes could condense their bodies sometimes. The lord slimes could naturally use a skill that slimes were known for when they were powerful. But to be able to do so to create a dense armor was a troublesome idea.

"Midnight, can you distract it while the brilliant slime prepares? Everyone else can manage the slime bodies. Take the potions you have and destroy the smaller slime bodies." Walker had orders already. Alice also backs the brilliant slime up so that they could help it make a light spike. They needed to drive home the apparent strength of the brilliant slime. Make Envy wish he had it. Make Envy want it so badly that he came down from the floating city.
