Master Of None

Chapter 605 - 605. Special Colorless Slime

Walker considered asking for more information on the kings' buff skill but made the decision not to. The reason being that if he learned it the skill would be useless to him since the party did not have dwarf party members or dwarf miners to be specific. There would be no point. 

"I liked the ice gauntlets but I will not need them in the silver mine. I have the basic potion vials that I can throw at the slime. I believe the glass is thin enough that the acid will melt it down the rest of the way and cause it to open inside the slimes we fight." Remey was very excited to fight like Trish had and act as a real alchemist. 

"Sounds like a plan. Midnight, that means you are on Gil and Remey guard duty. If they are in danger push them out of the way as much as possible." Midnight stood taller and narrowed her eyes. She was ready to take on this challenge with all her might and refused to see any harm to her family.

The king had given some orders to the fire fighting dwarves who were making sure they were ready to use the basic potion water to clear away any slimes that were around the edges or ceilings. This would allow Walker and the others to focus on the worst. "Walker, don't forget to flood the floor so it makes things a little easier." 

Remey reminded Walker who was just about to begin pulling water from the still water and in to the cave they were walking to. He manipulated the still water and made it flow over the stone banks that had held it as a pond for so long. The soft trickling sound of the water moving was standing out of their silence before walking in to the silver mine. 

Walker built up a decent amount of the water then pushed forward creating a wave. He used the icy wave skill to push the water all the way in to the silver cave. They waited for a few moments until they heard the crash of ice against walls and falling ice crystals. 

"Well that was rude. But I don't mind, hahahah." This slightly warped voice was the only response other than that which caused everyone to freeze in place. 

"An enemy in my caves...despicable." Walker couldn't stop the king from entering the silver mine at that moment. Walker knew that this was not good news at all because he had not heard the icy wave hit anything other than the walls. He had his eyes firmly on the ceiling where he expected another ambush. 

The other followed with the fire fighter dwarves extremely focused. They could all see that the places the ores used to be in the walls have been dissolved away by acid leaving melted burns in the rocky walls. There were some little pieces soaked in the water on the ground meaning that the slimes have not been traveling on the ground at all. 

The king raised a hand and stopped them all. His eyes were on the ceiling where a very strange sight had manifested. There were pieces of a grey and slightly shiny silver ore all over the ceiling. The amount of silver ore was more than what any of them had expected especially since they imagined the slimes had eaten it all. 

But what was more disturbing was the humanoid shape a completely clear slime had taken while attached to the ceiling. "Finally, you're some of those that got rid of my precious minimized slime. Do you realize how many slimes I had to breed to get one of those with the minimize skill? I waited in the forest for a month." The warped voice continued to speak.

"Then I had to rush all the way here and plant ten miniature yellow slimes I cultured for a year. I am just glad I was able to create a few lord slimes before you annoying pests showed up. I would have hated to lose them when they just reached maturity. But that is something for another day. For now, why don't you all just enjoy my special colorless slime and the skill I forced it to have." Distorted laughter filled the cave as the colorless slime lost the humanoid shape and began to melt in to the ceiling. 

"Back, get back! This was all a trap. There are no lord slimes. The slime breeder already took them and left a trap." The cracking stone was the next sound that assaulted their ears. They could all see the silver ore being shaped and falling from the ceiling. 

The entire group retreated but found that behind them were yellow slimes converging on the silver mine. "Fire fighters take the yellow slimes. We will finish whatever this thing is!" The king took the lead and gave the orders, however, this was all already happening. 

Walker Grabbed Remey because he had the feeling that she was going to be needed in the fight against whatever the colorless slime was doing with the massive chunk of silver. "It's falling, brace!" Walker said this as the massive chunk of silver fell to the floor and unfurled. 

Two club shaped arms and two club shaped legs unfolded along with a shiny silver head. All this was held together by rough and unprocessed silver ore body. The colorless slime had become the joints that fused the entire golem that stood before them together. 

"What in the dark caves did that demon make!? This is not a true golem!" The king was beside himself with rage seeing the monstrosity that had been made. He knew there was the potential for a silver golem but seeing it ruined in such a way was the same as kicking a dwarf in the heart. 

"Walker, what can you tell us? Does your appraisal skill work on it?" Gil had come up behind Walker and Remey with Midnight wanted to choose the best arrow for the job. He was ready the moment Walker spoke.
