Master Of None

Chapter 991: 991. Slime Trap

Walker stepped forward and pretended to be moving ahead of the group. He had the feeling that the illusion slime would not be willing to attack him but instead try to hide itself from him. It was clear that the intelligence the slime had over itsʼ lesser evolved slimes was enough to know when to and when not to attack.

This proved correct as Walker neared the slime and felt the small amount of mana leaking around it. The light and water elemental mana the illusion slime used to create its snowman appearance was very well controlled. The affinities it had were able to unlock the path it had taken and was most likely the very reason it had become an illusion slime.

Part of Walkerʼs mind dwelled on the slime breeder that has given them a massive amount of problems so far. Yet, the party had not encountered any ice slime since leaving Genesis city. Part of that worried him but that also mean that they may not have been set free as long as he expected. Not that the ice slimes were completely unnatural. Just uncommon.

But it also could be the reason why an illusion slime had come to exist. The high numbers of slimes in the environment breeding could have caused a rare slime like this to be born.

All together, Walker was sure that bringing this slime back to hello Remey at the alchemy guild would be a massive boon for the city and the people. Being able to produce better potions would help everyone in need of healing, mana refreshment, and many other things related to potions. It would also keep such a slime from falling in to the slime breeder system usersʼ hands.

They already needed to worry about the acid slimes that the slime breeder had taken away from the deep caves.

Standing directly in front of the illusion slime, Walker could almost feel that the slime was shivering, or at least the mana was. The illusion was just above the shape of the slime making it appear as a snowman when in reality it was just a slime holding the shape and the colors being a trick of the light flowering through the slimesʼ body.

This was the benefit of having a strong water affinity that could be seen as an ice affinity and the light affinity working together. No other monster would be able to copy this effect without having the perfect balance of affinity.

Walker started to manipulate the earth below them and cause it to rise. The wall he made left no room for the slime to escape. Being able to mold the earth in to shape to a round sphere with only a small opening was enough to scare the illusion slime in to wanting to flee. Since this was exactly what Walker hoped he watched as the light faded around the slime and the body was exposed.

The slime had a nearly clear body that reflected light like glittering gems. It was the ice crystals inside of it that were responsible for causing the illusions to be easily seen and used by the slime. Anyone seeing this at the first glance would be slightly mesmerized since it was an uncommon sight to see a beautiful slime. But this was not the focus at the moment.

The slime tried to force its way out of the small opening to escape the danger it felt it was in because of Walker. This was what Walker wanted though. As the slime escaped, Walker found that it pushed the core forward first, exactly as he had hoped. The core left the small hole in the earth sphere that was created and Walked slashed downward with one of his twin blitz swords.

The core fell from the rest of the slime body and Walker scooped it up in to a large vial. Then he quickly gathered the rest of the slime body in to ten large potion bottles and stored them away.

”That was pretty impressive. I would have thought you needed to battle it and cut out the slime core.” Remey jogged up beside him to hold the slime core as Walker had said. The body was already stored away and she couldnʼt be more impressed.

”The appraisal said it was less likely to attack s I went with an approach to scare it. The core is smaller than I thought but it might be better that way so that you can protect it while in battle. I just hope that you are able to better use it for the guild. Is everyone else setting up camp? I still have the tent.” Walker realized he had not left the tents behind for them to rest in.

”I will ask around to find a tamer to join the guild. If the worst case happens then I will bribe you to tame it and let it live in the guild. And yes, they are setting up the area. Su and Onyx are pushing some snow aside.” The two chatted a little while walking back over to the group. Walker had cleaned up his earth sphere so that it wouldnʼt hinder the fields when it came time to plant again.

”Here are the tents. I will start up a fire so we can eat. I will also take first watch so everyone else can sleep.” No one argued with this and Walker felt that Midnight was ravenous at this point even though she had snacked on some jerky.

Alice was quick to help set up a tent. It was impressive that she had already learned how to do this but Walker had a sneaking suspicion that Su was the one that had taught her when he wasnʼt looking. She was setting up the tent in the same way that Su went about it. Once the smell of roasting ice claw owl graced their noses, everyone showed their hunger.

The party didnʼt hesitate to dig in when it was cooked even though it was a little too hot.
