Chapter 2005 2005. Slime Hunting
Gathering light mana was not hard for anyone. Well, for Walker and Alice that was. When onyx joined in as well, they were able to guide light mana directly to the brilliant slime. All of them had their own versions of understanding that came with their experiences with light mana.
Alice was able to use a more calm version of light mana. One that came through ehr voice and the whaling effects that she normally used it with. This alone was a level of light mana that many would struggle to grasp since it was often not meant for defense or for offense. It was nourishing.
This allowed the brilliant slime light mana that increased its own abilities. It allowed it to replenish the light mana that it was gaining from the other much faster. a?very good ability to have when one was about to fight.
Since the brilliant slime was also in need of light mana as a general means of surviving, it was very energetic when noticing that it was being assisted. It could sense that Ebon was pushing for it to grow. For it to show off its strength. That alone improved the mood of the slime as a whole.
When the air gained the light mana density from Walker using natural mana as a bonus to it, there was only one thing that it could do, show off more.
The light slime body condensed making it tougher. This immediately caused the small acid attacks that caused the slime bodies controlled by the lord acid slime to fall away from the brilliant slime like nothing. Just that amount of denses was enough to make some people jealous. Specifically, the angels reached the groups as they fought.
Onyx's light mana begging passed toward the brilliant slime was more viscous. This came through the way that he used it. To create light armor that was able to stand up to the darkness mana he used as well.
Then the fact that Onyx used it as sustenance along with attacks made the light mana better for attacking. While different forms of one particular mana was not something hard to grasp, the control fo them was. This came from years of experience or having that affinity deeply carved within them.
The brilliant slime relied entirely on light mana aligned with Ebon's mana too. Therefore, it started to alter its body and core upon receiving these light manas used for different things. It was as if it was being handed the tools it needed to be all that it could be.
The materials, herbs, and process used to change it from a colorless slime were amazingly being used now. They had their manas and nutrients dwell within the core of the brilliant slime. All the lingering effects were being enhanced. It was like a general potential buff since so much ideal mana was being added.
When The light spike was created, Su took notice and used her twin shields to help separate more of the smaller slime bodies being controlled. The broken tentacles could only shrivel away because they also had the basic potions poured on them. Su had sneakily poured the basic potions over her shields so that she could cause damage while defending the others. A very wise choice.
Gil's actions had followed Su's. but he had managed to coat the arrow tips he fired. Using some hollow arrow tips with acid and basic resistances, he was confident that he could break through the dense yellow slime body of this lord acid slime that was boosted by corrupted mana.
Proving correct, he was sniping the tentacles causing multiple lime bodies to be left without any control. The slime cores under the lord slime's control clearly suffered because of this. Small racks being created on the cores as they could not even be attached to their own bodies any longer. Just more nutrients and strength to be used by the lord slime.
Midnight's fire breath appeared to also have an effect. She was using small blasts of fire breath to irstract and cause the lord slime to become more chaotic in its movements. It was already being attacked and whittled down slowly but surely. However, it was now abused by a dragon that could easily burn off the defensive dens body it created. While the evidence of this was small, it was easy enough for Walker to spot.
Things only became more dramatic as the lord slime began to attack more often with tentacles. Its slow moving speed becoming faster because it had less body to move. But it had still not even gotten close to what the party could do with their own agility.
This was because they had strengthened themselves a lot. Especially Remey. She had been able to easily get closer and dash ahead. Her body already strong enough to resist any damage a basic potion could do to her fists or anything she wore. Therefore, she used her fists coated in the potion to pierce the slime body.
This delivered the basic potions right in to its defenses before she retreated to do it again. The slime body losing chunks that melted away before the potions were completely neutralized along with themed pieces of the slime body.
These were devastating attacks that came from the knowledge and skills that improved between Remey's alchemy and fists. They managed to come together here to allow a better attack for the brilliant slime that only had to use the mana shared with it to attack.
While the incoming attacks did not pierces the dense and powerful slime body the lord acid slime had due to the additional chaotic mana infecting it, the core was unscathed. Only the cores of the slime sunder control had cracked.
As some of them broke, the lord slime just dissolved them as a way to get stronger. To return some of its lost strength. It was somewhat a sad thing to witness since the party knew that the slimes had never had a chance to grow naturally. They had been born, created, forcefully enslaved by Envy to do whatever he desired. Even fight amongst themselves.
When the light spike shined brighter than the sun above them, everyone retreated. Walker used a little control to help the brilliant slime guide its slight spike. But the density was much more than enough.
"Stand back!" Su slammed her shield down in front of Alice, Onyx, and Walker. The other backed away while the brilliant slime attacked.
Like a flash, the light spike shot forward. The brilliant slime dulled as it also slowed due to the loss of mana all at once. But the attack was too fast for the lord acid slime to counter. To even prepare against. Even with it being controlled by Envy remotely.
The chaotic mana also somewhat slowed it. This was chaotic mana. Even with envy controlling it, the lord slime was left in a maddened state to a degree. Therefore, the lord slime did not resist the attack.
With the light spike piercing through the body, everyone had expected that it would pierced the cut through and through. But surprising all of them, the light spike stopped within its slime body. Instead, the slight spike exploded in to thousands of smaller light spikes. It shattered all the slime cores. destroyed the slime body. Completely broke apart any toughness left behind by the lord slime's body at all.
This strength was well beyond what was expected of the brilliant slime. Well beyond the capabilities when they had boosted it. Therefore, Walker had the revelation that the brilliant slime's important and skills were well above what he had imagined
He understood that the higher control that the brilliant slime had over light mana clear was on display for them. That they had all missed to what degree it was better. To what degree it was stronger.
They had been baiting Envy. talking up how weak his slimes as a slime breeder would be compared to the brilliant slime. But they had not even needed to do that. They had already gotten a slime that was overall much better. They had just failed to truly understand at what level this was.
The brilliant slime could grow too. It might be at the form that it would stay at. But as it became better trained in its skills, it would be stronger. As it was able to create light slimes, it would be more adapted to combat with assistance. It might even spawn lord light slimes or alternate forms of light slimes.
All the potentials that it had were hard to grasp for Walker as he began to conjure water from the air to wash away the massive amount ifo acid slime body around. He would only be amazed with everyone else.
