"Kevin now!"
As if on cue, an arrow out of nowhere whizzed through the air directly penetrating the slimes core
At the moment of impact, the slime promptly exploded splashing flaming goo everywhere
*Boom!*
Unfortunately, some of that flaming goo landed on George And Davis's bodies.
*Ahh!*
"Dammit it Kevin, this is not what we had planned!" said Davis as he came out of the explosion with slight burns on his body, George on the other hand just gritted his teeth looking at the direction the arrow came from with an annoyed expression on his face.
After a few seconds Kevin walked out from the bushes, ignoring the expressions on Davis and George's faces, he began to stroke the crossbow in his arm
"As expected of old biretta, you never miss!"
However, list as Kevin was about to keep praising biretta, he felt the annoying gazes from George and Davis behind him
"Oh, what are you looking at me like that for? you should be thanking me, don't you know the flame slime is weakest when it's about to explode"
"Me hitting the slimes core that moment, interrupted its charge, thus reducing the impact, or do you think just the two of you could withstand its full explosion?" Said Kevin as he gave both of them a look of disdain.
hearing this Davis kept quiet as he realised that what Kevin was true
"However, what part are we going to give the young master part to study?"Said Davis as he looked at the desolate ground from the explosion he remembered Elric saying he needed materials for experiments.
Fortunately, Kevin seemed to have seen his worries and quickly explained
"Although I don't know what you want to use it for, the most valuable part of a slime after its death is its core" Said Kevin as he pointed towards the cracked slime core on the ground
To Davis and Gorge's surprise, bits and pieces of slime goo were actually crawling toward its core
"You both probably don't know this, but slimes are a tenacious bunch, only by grinding to their core into smithereens and dispersing their goo completely can they be considered dead" Saying this, obviously prepared he took a small gall Vail from his pocket, and started collecting the slime goo or condensate with its core, After doing this he handed the vial to Davis.
"Alright let's head off, that large slime from earlier might come here soon, and given the shape of both of you, I doubt that we'd make it back alive" As he said this, he looked at both of their painful expressions, obviously the impact from the earlier explosive was more than a light scar
"Thanks a lot Kevin"
with a sincere bow, both Davis and George thanked him, as if it had been only them going for this hunt, they would most likely have gotten more than a few burns freewe(b)novel.c(o)m
"Haha don't fret about it, if you really want to thank me you should bring some wine over when you have time" with a light slime Kevin waved his hand indicating for them not to worry.
"Definitely!"
And so with a few burns and some laughs, the three of them headed back to town.
...
"Young master were back!" Said Davis
At this point Davi and George had already gotten back, opening the door they saw Elric behind a table frowning slightly as he read a book
"Welcome back!"
raising his head with a slight smile, Elric stood up to greet them. Soon the two of them began to tell him the whole process of their journey, from finding Kevin, and meeting bretta to the flame slimes explosion, and Kevin asking for wine on their journey back.
"Alright, I would have liked to discuss more but I'm currently busy"
"Remember what I said last time? don't let anyone disturb me unless it's an emergency" Said Elric as he looked towards the both of them obviously he couldn't wait to begin his experiments
"Don't worry young master, leave it to us!"
Seeing Elric's eager mood, after a light response Davis dragged George out of the room.
watching the two of them leave, Elric's eyes gradually turned serious
*Finally, we can start!* Said Elric as he looked at the vial in front of him with excitement.
*I hope my guess is true*
"A.I. chip scan this vial!"
holding his breath, he began to wait for the A.I. chips' response
[Scanning Vial.....]
[10%....30%.....100%]
[Scanning complete!]
[ Report to the host! the substance in the vile codenamed 'slime core' is inscribed with a strange pattern which is constantly sucking and releasing small amounts of mana at a certain rhythm]
hearing the word rhythm, he could help but think of the word 'meditation!'
"Meditation, this is the act of focusing on a certain object while breathing at a certain rhythm"
"Doesn't that mean if I use this rhythm and the slime core as an object of visualisation I could get unexpected effects? after all, this is a different world, anything's possible here"
"A.i. chip record the record the rhythm by which it emits mana and use that to create a meditation method for me"
With the help of the A.i. chip, the Meditation method was quickly imprinted in his mind.
without waiting too much time, he immediately sat in a lotus position running the meditation method.
Following the rhythm, a whole new world seemed to have opened up to Elric. In front of him, an array of different colours could be seen with different light spots, dancing before his eyes. freeweb novel.co m
"A.I. chip, what am I looking at?"
however, what he received was a confusing answer
[Report, there is nothing but air in front of the host]
Seeing the A.I chip could not detect it, he began to observe it by himself,
Just as he began to focus on it, he made his mind come in contact with a red light spot accidentally moving it.
seeing he could use his mind to control it, an idea suddenly came to mind. using his mod he began to arrange the red particles in the shape of the inscription found on the slime core.
*boom!*
Just as he completed it, a small flame suddenly appeared in front of him floating in the air, unfortunately just as he was about to observe it, it suddenly extinguished leaving him feeling tired as if he just ran a marathon.
obviously maintaining the flame took a toll on him mentally, but instead of resting, there was an uncontrollable excitement in his eyes
"Eureka! That's it! the answer has always been staring at me all along!"
"Since the A.I chip rides in my soul, and given its calculation power, I can use it to accurately make inscriptions on my soul like back in the cave!"
"Once this is done my soul can serve as a slime core thus not needing to meditate and arrange the pattern mentally first"
As he thought of this, his breathing couldn't help speeding up.
"A.i. chip begin soul inscription!"
[Commencing soul inscription!]
[Host prepare for pain]
Hearing the familiar words, a bad memory suddenly came to mind
"Arghhhhhhh!!!!!"Before he could continue a familiar pain swept through his body causing him to faint.
Fortunately, his body was stronger this time causing him to wake up earlier
"phew! finally done, I don't think I could ever get used to that" wincing as he thought of the pain from before.
"However now that it's done, doesn't this mean that all I need to do is concentrate on inspiring the soul inscription and then puff instant fireball!"
With that in mind he quickly stretched out his right hand, after concentrating on it for a few seconds, to no surprise, a flame appeared on his hand only this time unlike before when it was extinguished due to lack of mental power, this one lasted a bit longer going from a few seconds to a few minutes
"Sigh... I never thought that I Elric, former great scientist, and Nobel prize winner back on the blue star, would be a 'two-minute man's here in a different world" Said Elric as he sighed with melancholy thinking of how he'd defeat a God waving a two-minute fireball at it.
"however at least there's good news" Thinking of his observation just now, his lips curled up slightly
"using inscriptions when inscribed on the soul greatly reduces the metal power consumption"
"and given my past experiences, I currently have one fireball inscription, one body strengthening inscription from the battle with Slohet and the other from the dead Tantibus which I'm not sure what it's for"
"Although the body strengthening pattern hasn't been inscribed yet, however, based on the way I feel after this inscription, I don't think my body can handle more than three inscriptions" feeling the change in his body there was a strong sense of heaviness on his soul
Just as he was about to continue experimenting, he suddenly noticed the setting sun through the window.
*sigh... I guess that's another day gone in this strange new world*
With a slight sigh, he picked up a book that had no words written in it.
*Back on the blue star, I always had a habit of recording a daily log of all my activities and experiences. I guess I should start that here too, however, what should I name the book this time? it can't be called Elric's diary?*
"It's got to be something that represents my ambition in this new world and something that can pass down my knowledge in case anything happens to me" Thinking of the 'Diary of a blasphemer', the book inherited from his parents, and his current obsession to become extraordinary a name finally popped up onto his mind
"I've got it! This book would record my journey of how I deduced an extraordinary system from scratch, so why don't I just call it something related to that?" with a large smile on his face, he said the name of the book which would be sought after by countless people later in the future
"It's final, I'll call it 'I created magic!'
