Master Of None

Chapter 587: 587. Full Offensive

”Brace for the incoming! This is not over!” The king of the middle lifted the hammer again and turned to guard the door. Walker had no choice but to retreat to where the king stood and prepare himself for what was to come.

”Can you melt that ice and slow the slimes coming here?” The king of the middle had seen the degree that the water had helped and knew that even if Walker could not use the same skill again that just having a lot of water on the ground would weaken the slimes.

”If worst comes to worst then I should be able to use that skill combination again. But yes, I will melt the ice. I would rather conserve mana in case a larger slime shows.” Walker was very skeptical since he had only seen the smaller slimes. It was even more so since he had seen that the slimes could easily combine at will, meaning that there were most certainly larger slimes somewhere.

”You mean like the one that is trying to swallow my personal golem?” The king of the middle knew this was a possibility as well and did not flinch at the sight of a large slime wrapping itsʼ slime body around the entire golem.

The golem was trying to move and slash at the core while inside the slime but it was moving slowly and already starting to break down since the acid was eroding the smaller mechanical bits.

Walker had a feeling that there were eyes on him and in a blur he saw an arrow pierce the large slime. The water elemental mana converged and a large spike of ice grew from the slime. The arrow broke down causing multiple ice spikes out from creating a large ice crystal.

”Where did that come from? Was it another of your skills?” The king of the middle was ready to praise such a sneaky and powerful skill. However, Walker turned and pointed a significant distance away.

”That is Gil, the archer you met earlier. It looks like he found a good birds eye view on top of that small tower. He seems to be sniping with the water elemental wither spike arrows. That should help reclaim the mercantile district.” Walker said this completely calm. He was focused on the small slimes crawling from the small side streets.

The king of the middle smirked at this since he had always thought of himself as humble and could relate to Walker who was humbly giving the full credit to Gil instead of taking it for himself. Walker didnʼt say another word and focused his gaze on the pieces of ice in the large slime.

Using the grand elemental manipulating he caused the ice t start to melt and watched as the giant slime body started to melt apart and a cracked core came to sit on the ground. He did the same with the other ice shards and saw that the slimes began to avoid the many puddles of water around.

This allowed the kingsʼ guards and remaining golems to attack with their full strength and begin to crush the weakened slimes. Walker would sense the water elemental mana nearby every so often and knew that it was Gil firing arrow after arrow. Having eyes on the situation from so far away was incredibly useful.

”Ahhh! The thing! Itʼs on me!” There was a very small weakened yellow acidic slime that had latched on to one of the guards who was trying to tear it off desperately. The slime was refusing to leave the armor since it wanted to dissolve it and grow again.

”Sorry about this!” Walker used the soak skill and dropped a high amount of water on the dwarf. The slime dissolved leaving a core on the ground in front of the dwarf who stomped his foot on it over and over.

”That was good work. These men have been with me for fifteen years as my guard. If I lost one it would be akin to losing a blood brother.” The king of the middle refused to leave the door he was protecting but the pain on his face when his guard was in a dire situation was clear as day.

”Fight to the death!!!!!!” There was a chorus of shouts from behind the king of the middle and Walker. The sounds of footsteps and sudden appearance over thirty younger dwarves lead but seven adults and one older dwarf brought a fire to the king of the middlesʼ eyes.

”We have come for you. The king and his guards are here with our guest. This hero says he knows you, Grey. But that is for later. Now we are retaking the merchant district.” The king of the middle said this before taking a deep breath. ”I order ever golem and able bodied fight to take up weapons and buckets.

Soak the streets and wash away these pests. Crush their cores and rise up!”

The entire area became loud with metal grinding and shaking. Walker could feel and hear multiple golems being spurred to movement in the roads by these words. This trek to rescue those in the high forge and reclaim it had turned in to a complete offensive against the slimes.

The king of the middle had seen the strategy of washing away the slimesʼ body. They may not have magic but because of the steam, they had plenty of stored water that could be used to slow and damage the slimes. The roars of the dwarves that came through the various connecting tunnels caused even more noise along with an increased feeling of water elemental mana.

”Hear that? There may be many magic users you have met, but magical communication is owned by the communication orbs we build in to our golems. They give us the immediate responses we need.” Walker was amazed that the king could brag at such a moment.
