Chapter 2000 2000. Showing Off Slime
"Here we go, all together." Walker looked around. Midnight, Onyx, Gil, Su, Remey, and Alice had gathered on the elemental rune teleportation formation. Beside them was the brilliant slime. Ebon would be coming behind them. He had to be hidden with the others who would be close behind or even within the party's shadows.
The first step to arriving was to show off their party as being alone and separating from the area near the embassy. This alone was something that was absolutely necessary right now.
By making it clear that the party would be alone, they could prove that the demons or any eyes on them related to the sin title holders right now, would be able to communicate this to them. It was a first step in setting their trap to capture and defeat Envy.
From there, they would constantly rely on the brilliant slime to attack. Walker's goal would be to incorporate its ability to create light attacks in to his own magic. Therefore, he would be showing off that he and the slime could work together. As if it was another monster under his control.
To the sin title holders, they would see that Midnight and Onyx were the very same. Under Walker's control no matter what. With bonds that united them. If the brilliant slime was seen as the same, then Ebon could remain in a safer position even though he had to be nearby to send mental messages to the brilliant slime and maintain the mana needed through their bond.
This was a major risk of sorts. Because the brilliant slime could create light slimes, it had stricter bind requirements. The demonic slime that Ebon also controlled was able to be further away because it could generate its own mana due to how it was created from Ebon's blood and mana as a whole.
The brilliant slime was more unique. All the light mana it gathered went to the potential that it could create light slimes or use attacks. Therefore, it requires mana from Ebon to be able to remain functional. Its core needed that additional mana to sustain its unique existence.
If another brilliant slime grew from a light slime, it would naturally be fine to subsist off of light mana alone. But this slime came to be through a colorless slime that Ebon was already bonded with. It also was a breeding slime that a slime breeder was controlling. Made sense as far as Walker could think. But it meant Ebon was in a risky situation.
Therefore, Walker knew his acting had to be perfect so that Ebon would not be found out by Envy. if Envy captured Ebon instead, it would amount to the largest loss yet. Another slime breeder or a boost in envy's strength would be detrimental to the future of everyone fighting the sin title holders.
The appearance within the Sigil continent brought many angels to greet the party. They had to show that they were meeting to deal with the current crisis. Therefore, after taking some time to greet them, the party began taking maps and gesturing to the brilliant slime openly. This was all an act, but it was a very good one that most scouts would be fooled by. Especially if they were looking through the metaphorical eyes of a slime.
The surprisingly quick changes in how they moved did not seem to affect their mood. Walker and all of the party knew that the slime breeder, Envy, could look through slides and share their senses. They could not easily say out loud what their palms were. Instead, Walker had made a point to bring up the battle against slimes and how they were experts in them.
"Since we have battled the slimes before, we are the best ally for the angels. We already have methods to beat the slimes here. Even lord slimes are easier to beat now that we are stronger." This was also a nice way to ensure that the party had boosted their morale.
Their movements were already feeling quicker since they knew where to go and that the angels had made sure that paths were ready nearby the teleportation formation. Anyone else would notice that the party had moved too easily. But that was if they knew what the party was actually here for. If not then it just seems that they are rushing to an emergency.
"We won't be letting what happened last time happen again. This time, the wyverns are not involved and I can easily burn away whatever the slime lord we find is. There aren't many versions of them anyways. We have a slime to combat them. To punch that slime breeder right in his smug face!" Remey's anger was not for show. She really wanted to punch the most troublesome opponent they had in his face. Hard.
"Remey, you just attracted a monster over here. Now we have to handle that stone bison. They are migrating and it really doesn't like running in to any competition that could attract a female rock bison before it." Gil had studied up on a?few migratory monsters around the Sigil continent. The angels had been ready to warn them since it was safer that way. They knew these monsters better anyways.
'Stone bison
These beasts are similar to the cows that live on farms. However, they did not get captured and trained by the various races of the world. Instead, they gave in to their bestial nature. They developed the tougher skin through fighting one another.
Once they awakened their natural affinities, they began to eat stones instead of grasses. They can now consume tough stone that slowly breaks down within their bodies over weeks and months. This, in turn, changes their fur to the color of the tone and toughens their body with earth mana.
Their violent tendencies during their migration and breeding seasons leaves them to be a somewhat dangerous monster to face. They will not care about their horns that break off during attacks since they lack feeling in them and they can grow back within a few days due to the consistent stone eating…'
"It will be a tough enemy to face, but we can see how strong our brilliant slime partner is. Sounds good?" Walker spoke directly to the brilliant slime. It bounced in response while gathering light mana.
Walker helped the brilliant slime by calling on the light mana. Naturally, this enhanced the light spike that was formed. Meanwhile, the stone bison was already charging the entire party. It seemed to care less that they were multiple. It just wanted to attack the foes it spotted.
When the light spike condensed, it was shining bright enough to attract attention from others. Luckily, there were not any other stone bisons or monsters able to see it right here and then.
With Walker's boost, the light spikes got forward with much more strength and control. The brilliant slime also appeared to be unfazed at the larger amount of light mana it had used.
In drastic opposition to this, the stone bison with its very tough defenses, was pierced through by the light spike. The strength in defense that the earth mana and stone brought the stone bison was not enough to counter the brilliant slime.
Walker mentally congratulate their luck here. If Gil had not called out the opponent ahead of them quickly enough, then they would not have been able to show off the superiority that came with the brilliant slime's light attacks. This would definitely make the slime breeder jealous.
"Now that was a one hit kill attack." Gil's whistled a little to add effect. He was actually very impressed though. The brilliant slime had just taken its form a few days ago. Yet here it was, fighting monsters and acting all showy.
"It will be able to handle the weak slimes that the slime breeder is sending to the Sigil continent. We will have them all cleaned up within the week." Su made this boastful remark loud enough to show that the entire party fully believed this.
Everyone understood that hearing about their hard work in this light would make them angry. The slime breeder would be no exception. He would certainly hear this through a slime watching the party if that was indeed the case. It would just further draw him in to the brilliant slime as bait.
The next three hours of walking involved one other stone bison and more open boasting. They had even shown off the defensive light wall skill that the brilliant slime could use. Especially boasting that the slimes the slime breeder controlled could not do whatsoever. The perfect phrases to match the slime breeder's failure.
While the party had no idea if they had even been noticed as they wanted, Envy had just doubled his efforts. The angels closer to the marsh lands before the beaches and nearby the floating city had just begun to report larger slimes appearing.
