Chapter 9 Slime is too strong (5)
Yurin, playing as a wizard in Arcadia, felt very good.
[Level increased]
[Skill Fire Spear increased to B rank]
[Damage and casting speed increased]
[Magic affinity increased by 1]
[Intelligence increased by 5]
… It was because I was able to achieve level 20 at a phenomenal speed thanks to an unknown error that occurred in the slime habitat.
“Oh, are you leveling up already?”
The party members who were hunting together looked at Yurin surrounded by lights and began to congratulate her one by one.
“Congratulations, Yurin. Now you have entered the 20th level.”
“If we go with this momentum, it might be worth targeting even a wizard ranker, right?”
At the compliments of the people around her, Yurin said without hiding a smile on her lips.
“Ho Ho. Are you a ranker? I don’t know if it’s possible, but if you hunt like this here, you might be able to stare at it.”
“Hehehe… I don’t know what kind of bug it is, but it’s a really sweet situation. Slimes give more experience than kobolds.”
A slime habitat that has become stronger for unknown reasons. This may be a place of shock, fear, and death for beginners, but for those who have reached a certain level, it was truly a space of blessing.
“I thought it was just getting stronger, but the monster pattern remains the same, but the experience and gold increase. I hope it stays like this for a while.”
In Arcadia, monster hunting and battles are not so easy content.
As the level goes up, the monsters you face have intelligence, and they create irregular situations that get you into trouble. Especially when it came to the kobolds they dealt with.
“I’m hiding suddenly and I don’t even surprise. They swarmed around in groups, set up traps, and fired poisonous needles while noticing. Ugh, compared to those bastards, these guys are nobles.”
Yurin shakes her head from side to side as if thinking about it is terrifying. And everyone nodded their heads slightly, as if agreeing with what he said.
“Anyway, it seems that more and more high-level users like us are coming in after smelling it, so we finish leveling up as quickly as possible and move on to the next area.”
As Yurin said, countless user parties were set up and hunting around them. Those who do not look like absolute beginners. It was clear that they had come from somewhere to confirm the same information they knew and to raise their level quickly.
Gradually, the hunting speed of users started to be faster than the speed of slime regeneration. As if to prove him, the corpses of slimes were filling the field. ”
Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu together?
‘
“Fire Lance.”
Seeing such a slime, Yurin chanted the skill without hesitation. Is it the effect of
rising
to B rank? Unlike before, the spear of flame that was created and flew at a much faster rate pierced the body of the slime with a single shot.
“Wow… now the slime dies in one shot?”
“I think it’s because the skill rank just went up.”
“what? Did your skill rank go up? Today, I just got on the train. I got on the train.”
Enjoying the envious stares of her colleagues, Yurin set out to find another scapegoat. A precious and precious chunk of experience that will make her a wizard ranker.
But…
Ugh.
“what?”
All users in the slime habitat, including Yurin’s party, stopped moving at the sudden vibrating sound.
Chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaak
_
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
A pitch-black aura of darkness suddenly erupted from the ground they were standing on. A power that looked incredibly evil just by looking at it began to envelop the entire slime habitat. Then, an unknown voice began to be heard from somewhere.
[Be angry, you weak beings sacrificed for no reason.]
A creepy voice as if scratching a blackboard. The voice began to be heard clearly, as if in a whisper.
[To the evil people who killed you, your kind who lived in peace.]
Then, the black energy wrapped around the slimes and quickly began to permeate them.
[Blood revenge.]
The eerie voice that couldn’t understand the last cry for revenge disappeared. There was no trace of the mysterious energy of darkness, but Yurin could feel it.
“what….?”
That these slimes running around in front of him were absolutely not the same slimes as before.
“Kwuuuuuu! Kwuuuuuuu!”
tong tong-
tong tong-
“What are these guys doing?”
Slimes suddenly move in perfect order. The slimes, which had been divided into several groups and spread out sporadically, suddenly began to gather in one place as if they had made an appointment. And they started to come together. As if it had originally been a single entity, its shape melted like jelly and was transforming into something gigantic.
“Don’t stop!”
I don’t know what it is, but it’s an instinctive feeling of anxiety. Because of that anxiety, various parties, including Yurin’s party, began to fire arrows and other magic at the assembly of slimes.
fish food.
However, as if their attacks were meaningless, they were an assembly without a scratch. At the end of the uncomfortable wait of the users who showed a clear look of bewilderment, the aggregate of slimes began to form a single appearance. And at that moment, a message window began to appear to all users residing in the slime habitat and beginner villages.
[The slime race, who loved peace more than anyone else while walking in the green fields.]
[They were mercilessly slaughtered for no reason by humans who suddenly appeared.]
[After a lot of patience, they came to a conclusion. We don’t need more patience than this, we have to fight for peace.]
[That’s why they sacrificed themselves. To give birth to a great monarch who will lead their entire race.]
And what appeared in front of them was an incredibly gigantic green slime. A slime that looked to be about the size of a 10-story building with a crown on its head.
“Kwuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!”
Wow.
A huge shock wave hit the surroundings just by crying.
“Kuuuuuuuuuu!”
“I almost died. What is that? scared.”
“Hey! Kellon! Kelon is dead!”
A gigantic slime boasting overwhelming strength to the point that users with low physical strength would die with just a shock wave. And when Yurin saw the text that floated above the slime’s head, a quiet voice came out of Yurin’s mouth.
[Lv. 100 King Slime]
“This crazy…”
I don’t know what happened, but Yurin knew. That the slimes they killed were reborn as boss-level monsters that were extremely hostile to humans.
That too Lv. To an unapproachable level of 100.
* * *
“…What did Tan do?”
Jaeyoung asked Satan who was flying around his head shamelessly with an absurd face.
“why? Like you said, you strengthened the slime.”
“No, I asked for it to be strengthened, but to make it to such an unanswerable level…
”
Quaaaaaang-
A huge roar coming from far away. And an earthquake-like vibration hit the place where Jaeyoung was. But as he flapped his wings, Satan muttered with his eyes shining as if he was really having fun.
“Keukkeuk…. As expected, no matter how low-level creatures, even a slight awakening of vengeance can have a tremendous effect? To give birth to their own monarch.”
Jaeyoung couldn’t hold back his curiosity at Satan’s muttering words as if he was interested.
“What do you mean? Revenge?”
Looking at Jaeyoung, who didn’t seem to understand yet, Satan looked at him as if he was pitiful and said.
“Well, looking at the situation earlier, the humans were killing each and every slime that appeared. By sharing a little of your probabilities.”
“what….?”
“Probability is also strong. I didn’t pay much, but didn’t the species itself evolve one step at all? If it was just a little longer, I would have been able to just transfer to the demon world.”
Satan licks his lips in regret. It seemed that he quite liked the slimes who ran amok with vengeance. Of course, the humans who were struck by lightning because of them were suffering a great deal.
“Keugh… stop it! It can’t be pierced!”
“Kwaaaaaaang!”
Quaang. Quaang.
“Too many! Besides, these bastards aren’t just trying to attack, they’re strategically trying to get in!”
Users and NPCs desperately blocking the slimes. It was easy to notice just by looking at their expressions that the furious slimes were reaching their limits.
[Main Scenario Act. 1 A forgotten darkness has begun.]
[Linked quest ‘Catch the novice killer!’ has been deleted.]
[Linked quest ‘Slime’s Fury’ has been created.]
Users who were eager to play all over the continent of Arcadia. They tilted their heads at the sudden quest.
“The main scenario?”
“What’s this?”
However, after checking the contents, they could not close their gaping mouths.
[Main Scenario Act. 1 Embryo of Forgotten Darkness]
[Linked Quest Slime’s Wrath]
An ancient, evil darkness now forgotten. The presence of darkness has awakened the slumbering fury of the slimes. Enraged slimes are trying to destroy the human habitation without a trace. Stop their attack and defend our home.
[Victory Condition]
– Defend the beginner village (remaining time: 2 days 23 hours 57 minutes 24 seconds.)
– Defeat King Slime 0/1
[Defeat Condition]
– Destroy the beginner village’s guard stone 0/1
< If the quest fails, the beginner village It will be permanently destroyed. >
A quest that flew in unexpectedly. It was absurd, but the content was even more absurd.
“What are you talking about? The beginner village is permanently destroyed?”
A beginner village where all users who start Arcadia pass through. In the early days of opening, most of the users were still based here.
As such, it was a place where the most information was revealed on the unknown continent of Arcadia, and it was also an essential place for rapid growth and character development. By the way… such a village disappears?
It was something that users who had played general RPG games on computers could not easily understand.
“Kwuuuuuuu!”
However, a brilliant crystal suddenly appeared in the plaza located in the center of the beginner village, which is believed to be a guardian stone. And everyone was able to realize that the current situation was not a bluff while watching a group of slimes trying to approach the beginner village with venomous eyes as if they were aiming for it.
“Stop! No matter what happens, we have to keep those bastards out of the way!”
“What the fuck is this all of a sudden!”
After that, a fierce siege between users and slimes began. I was watching all of this as a single user in the beginner village.
“What are you going to do?”
“what?”
In response to Satan’s question, Jaeyoung asked what he was talking about.
“Right now, everyone is busy trying to stop those slimes. Do you think you can end all of this if you just secretly destroy that guardian stone?”
Satan, with his eyes shining and an evil smile, as if secretly hoping for that. However, Jaeyoung, who had been staring at him blankly, turned his head away and replied.
“for now…. I intend to watch.”
“You’re watching?”
At Jaeyoung’s words, Satan made an expression that he did not understand, but soon began to laugh as if he realized.
“Ah, you’re saying you’re going to wait until the last moment and crush that hope desperately? Kkeukkeu… You really were an evil bastard?”
Leaving behind him, who seemed to be having a lot of fun, Jaeyoung gave a small smile as he looked at the messages window pouring in front of him.
