T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 34. The Slime King (Please continue reading)

In front of the third-level teleportation statue, there were empty [Slime Scent Spray] piled up at Orange Tea's feet.

She took care of all the painting work herself.

This was Jiang Heyi's request, as for why...

"We have a spray, and we also have a lucky charm, so if you spray it, it can be considered a kind of lucky charm spray."

When it was the orange tea's turn, everyone who was already prepared immediately sprayed the orange tea all over, causing the orange tea to back away and get stuck against the wall.

"Take care of what's behind you too."

To the uninformed, this scene would look like bullying.

They were teleported back into the fourth level of the Clarity Monastery, and just as Jiang Heyi had predicted, the team was once again teleported and scattered throughout the dark scene.

The map is shrouded in fog and cannot be used.

It is certain that this was intentionally designed to break players into smaller groups, each facing the slime army on this level separately.

The first challenge players encounter on this level is figuring out how to gather the items.

Using flares as signal flares can easily attract enemies in the dark.

Creating a faint light is not enough for everyone to notice.

The noise will wake the slime.

There may be many solutions to this scenario within the game, but none are as cost-effective and effortless as the one Jiang Heyi came up with.

In the team channel.

Zhong Zemo: Who is closer to the high point?
Jiang Heyi immediately replied: "I, I was randomly assigned to a monastery."

Plain fries: Luckily, we can leave them for now.

Jiang Heyi removed all his equipment to reduce the weight and avoid making too much noise.

Inside the monastery buildings, as long as you are careful enough and don't make too much noise, these slimes, who are digesting their meal, will fall into a semi-sleep state, and you can easily pass through them by tiptoeing.

Perhaps this is out of pity for the players?

Upon reaching the highest point on the monastery rooftop, Jiang Heyi sent another message.

"Ready, let's begin."

After a brief silence, the team channel immediately became lively.

"Jailer, jailer, jailer..."

"Black and white, black and white, black and white..."

"Spit it out..."

The text kept repeating itself and popped up rapidly, one after another.

Wait, why is the orange tea being shipped via mail?

It must be that bastard prison guard teaching him weird stuff again!

The chat box, floating above the players' heads and glowing faintly, was like a firefly in the dark scene. Though weak, it was a guiding light in Jiang Heyi's eyes.

It actually worked! You can block the map, but you can't block the chat, can you?
Jiang Heyi is no stranger to ideas.

After everyone sent the message again in the order they were sent, Jiang Heyi confirmed everyone's location.

He was very lucky; Jailer Bro, Orange Tea, and Zhong Zemo were all right in front of his monastery.

The plain fries, out of sight, found the nearest monastery dormitory, climbed to the roof, and completed the location.

Thanks to Jiang Heyi's remote control technique via text, the assembly process went exceptionally smoothly. However, they still haven't found the teleportation statue to the next level.

His extensive gaming experience led him to suspect that the teleportation idol was closely related to the slime army.

"As expected..."

Jiang Heyi quickly covered the mouth of the prison guard who had excitedly run over.

He lowered his voice and warned, "If you want a bunch of giant sticky balls to swarm us in the monastery and beat us up, then you'd better speak louder!"

The jailer awkwardly covered his mouth with his hand, looked around warily, and lowered his voice.

"There's a spray, so it'll be okay... right?"

"Mint made it very clear: getting too close or lingering too long will get you exposed."

As he spoke, Zhong Zemo changed into the cloth armor that had been prepared beforehand, but he only wore a shirt and pants, leaving the rest of his body completely bare, and he didn't even have a pair of shoes.

The shields were also changed from large shields to small round metal shields.

"You're... being way too revealing." The jailer was stunned. "The shield potion should give you less than half a second to react."

Zhong Zemo glanced at the small round shield that his witch doll was patiently caring for, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"It's like you're saying that wearing protective gear won't last long. It's all the same, like walking a tightrope."

Jiang Heyi also started taking off his armor: "Treat every match as if it were your last, and don't be afraid, right?"

The plain fries said calmly, "If you can't hit it, it's meaningless."

Even the plain fries are now available in a lighter package, making everyone on the boundary between reality and illusion a one-size-fits-all product.

The reaction time provided by the shield is negligible; you either become a god or die instantly, there's no other possibility.

Having lost its magic and the light-emitting crystal, the monastery is now eerily cold, and the portraits of the gods hanging high above are now headless, destroyed by the Church of Eternal Night.

The cool moonlight streaming into the room through the stained glass window shone precisely on the only "gap" in the portrait, as if a shimmering, fluorescent flower was blooming on the missing head.

They groped their way along the boundary between reality and illusion, and began to climb the steps.

Jiang Heyi, Plain Fries, and Zhong Zemo, who were barefoot, soon felt the stickiness coming from the soles of their feet.

Moist and sticky, like rubber, and somewhat slippery like jelly or pudding, they felt as if they might fall at any moment while walking, but a sticky feeling pulled them back to their feet.

Such delicate secretions.

The path wasn't long. After arriving at the third floor and turning the corner past the now-burnt library, the bedroom came into view.

Just like the monastery I visited on my first visit, the slimes, having finished their meal, were fast asleep, their keen senses drifting into an endless dream.

Wait, do low-intelligence monsters dream too? Jiang Heyi suddenly became curious.

In the messy dormitory room, two giant pink slimes were stuck together, their color fading slightly in the cool moonlight.

Orange Tea's comment popped up in the team chat: "If you don't move, you're actually quite cute."

The fact that miniature slimes are kept as pets by nobles must mean they have a unique charm.

Jiang Heyi exchanged a glance with the original-flavored fries, and slowly drew his knife.

For ease of operation, Jiang Heyi gave up the short sword this time.

The "Narrow-bladed Longsword for Beginners" is an extra bonus given when choosing a weapon at the beginning of the game.

Because it felt a bit awkward to swing at, unlike the dagger which was more satisfying, he kept it in his backpack without touching it.

While everyone else in the guild was feeding unnecessary materials, Jiang Heyi's frugal style, which he has maintained since the beginning, has allowed it to survive to this day.

Only the two of them could carry out the assassination; Zhong Zemo and the others were the battlefield atmosphere group at this moment.

Sensitive to elements and magic, he sealed away the jailer.

Zhong Zemo specializes in defense and shield parrying; his attacks are too loud and disruptive.

Although Orange Tea's spellcasting system is based on faith, it still stirs up elements and magic in reality, even if only slightly, and they dare not gamble on it.

Bathed in the moonlight spilling onto the windowsill, the two stared intently at the fist-sized core beneath the slime's translucent body.

Not all slimes need a magic core to absorb and mobilize magic power, but the slimes in this scenario are clearly individuals with magic cores.

This special magical organ, equivalent to a human heart, swayed slightly with the body's trembling.

Orange Tea was still pondering whether to help count down 1, 2, 3 when a barely audible "Fight back!" rang out, and both blades plunged into the slime's soft body, reaching its core without resistance.

Without communication, their movements were perfectly synchronized. The two once again spun their blades almost simultaneously, unleashing their devastating attack, tearing through the slime's body tissue. The power surged through its magic core and pierced its soft body, causing the slime, which had just awakened from its slumber, to quickly fall into a deep sleep.

The drop of a purple-quality slime core brought this clean and efficient assassination to a close.

It passed away peacefully, without making a sound.

Lines of "666" floated above everyone's heads.

A direct confrontation with the slime army would be futile, but a sneak attack would yield entirely different results.

Slimes with extremely low physical resistance can reap rewards as long as they hit the magic core.

With their superb teamwork, the overjoyed Jiang Heyi and the original flavor fries began a frenzied killing spree.

From the second floor to the fourth floor, they ransacked each and every dormitory room.

There are 3 slimes in the room. Kill two of them first, then attack the third one from both sides, trying to shut it up before it gives any warning.

If there are 4, then act as quickly as possible and have both of you have another bottle.

What a delightful collaboration! Jiang Heyi and the original flavor fries were 9% synchronized, a tacit understanding that could be achieved without any communication.

The slime wasn't completely oblivious, but as it struggled to sense the unusual magical energy, the murderous intent erupting from the two shattered it.

"Wearing armor and gag in hand, he moved as if he were in an empty field!" The jailer was like a shaman, creating a frenzy in the public chat.

Each of these slimes provided a generous amount of experience; with a flick of the wrist, they fell into the hands of everyone in the guild—it was truly…

"My experience bar suddenly increased by a huge amount!" Orange Tea clenched her fist in surprise.

"The 'Endless Training' effect must have triggered by now. After killing so many, it should have triggered by now." Jiang Heyi wiped his sweat.

"But I've never triggered it."

"I do not have either."

Indeed, people and dogs cannot be compared.

Having gotten the hang of it, Jiang Heyi stopped searching the scene and immediately headed to the next monastery. Anyway, there would be plenty of time to search after killing the slimes.

With just a slight change in strategy, you can easily defeat these slimes who treat you like a snack, and harvest dozens of purple materials. It's definitely high risk, high reward.

Shameful witch, I misunderstood you. Your potion is indeed very effective.

So far, not a single slime has awakened from its slumber; their powerful senses have truly been deceived.

Jiang Heyi, who was excitedly entering another dormitory room and preparing to repeat the same trick, was startled.

The two slimes in the room rolled slowly to the window almost the instant they stepped through the door.

Slimes have no eyes, yet they seem to be gazing into the distance, motionless.

A moment later, their round bodies transformed into specks of light and drifted away.

Jiang Heyi walked quickly to the windowsill.

Above the pitch-black dome, the various colored "fireflies" that gathered from all over the fourth level hovered in the sky, gradually transforming into a fluorescent green.

Above the dome, raging waves roared, and the turbulent water began to spin rapidly. Suddenly, it connected with the ground in the form of a tornado, forming a stunning fluorescent storm.

"What's going on here……"

As more and more particles of light continued to flow into the storm, Orange Tea swallowed hard.

The fluorescent dust suddenly trembled, and the enormous object that came into everyone's view made even the composed Original Flavor Fries instinctively take a step back.

This is a gigantic slime that is at least 7 meters tall. Its internal bubbles are churning violently, and its round body is emitting a dangerous green fluorescence, illuminating the pitch-black fourth floor as if it were daytime.

This size...

“No, this isn’t an ordinary slime.” Jiang Heyi recalled the knowledge Mint had shared. “With this kind of physique, if it could communicate and talk, then it would be…”

"You vile and despicable insects draped in the flesh and blood of my race!"

The angry female voice made the air tremble, and the monastery glass on the side facing her shattered with a crash, playing the prelude to a funeral dirge that she herself had been striking.

Amidst the fragmented musical notes, Jiang Heyi felt his body go dry, as a layer of mist carrying elemental and magical power evaporated from their skin.

The real King of Slimes.

This individual, born with low intelligence, is blessed by the heavens. It awakens its wisdom, reaches its peak, and undergoes a transformation.

It can give birth to an entire slime race by itself!
Now I understand, all the slimes on the entire fourth level are actually part of it.

When the player kills a certain number of slimes, the remaining slimes will fuse together, and all slimes will return to the elemental lake that nurtured them.

What is the Elemental Lake?

The situation was terrible. Although the Slime King still had no eyes, that didn't stop Orange Tea from feeling the other party's faint gaze.

It felt like being locked onto by a ferocious beast.

Jiang Heyi said helplessly, "I don't understand... Mint only said half of it."

Damn it, why didn't you just say all that important stuff at once!

Your hat is just asking for it!

"What do we do now? How should we fight?"

Zhong Zemo was so overwhelmed by the opponent's powerful pressure that he could hardly breathe. Was this the power of a top-tier demon? He could exert such pressure simply by sensing and locking onto the enemy without doing anything.

"No, it's alright. It didn't attack immediately, which means we still have..."

Green is a light, so bright it makes people uneasy.

Before the jailer could finish speaking, the entire fourth floor, from the dome to the ground, began to seep out with green, vine-like patterns that crisscrossed.

In the blink of an eye, the fourth level had become a cage.

It's not that it's not attacking; it's that it's casting ritual magic!
In this situation, even someone who doesn't understand games would know that something terrible is going to happen.

"Quickly, cast the teleportation spell and run!"

Plain Fries was bewildered: "The Starry Sky Jade cannot be triggered."

"mine too."

"Mine isn't glowing anymore!"

It can even seal teleportation magic.

Placing this monster as a guardian on the fourth floor must be designed to instill despair, right?

Everyone quickly took the [Awakening Wind] potion and leaped out of the monastery's bedroom.

In an instant, an elemental storm, a mixture of fire, ice, lightning, and darkness, rose from the ground, tearing the vast monastery to shreds, scattering bricks and stones everywhere, which fell to the ground like raindrops.

"Haha, my adorable little ones, your big sister has come to see you again."

The female voice of the Slime King suddenly and seamlessly switched to the voice of Nafiel.

That decadent sound that gave me goosebumps.

"Hmm... I can't let you die so easily. Show me some little tricks that will make me happy."

After a crisp snap of the fingers, vortexes appeared in the void directly in front of them.

Jiang Heyi sensed something and looked down at the ground, which had been transformed into a magic circle by the Slime King. The intricate veins of the leaves seemed to come alive, as if echoing something in the distance.

The next second, thousands of bolts of lightning, like whips, swept across the boundary between reality and illusion, across the area where everyone had just stood. The earth shattered, and the air was filled with the smell of burning.

Apart from the small safe spot occupied by Jiang Heyi's team, there was no place on the entire fourth floor that was immune to the lightning punishment.

Jiang Heyi hurriedly looked at the Slime King, whose head was covered by a magic circle that blotted out the sky, not far away. It had already entered a meditative state and was fully controlling its magic power.

"Try to dodge! If you succeed, I'll give you a big hug as a reward."

"Don't worry, my lovely little toys, we've found a safe spot. You'll survive."

Please please me a little longer~~

The people of the Church of Eternal Night are insane!
　They can't even swim out in one round... Please give us some more reading, it seems the seal hasn't even swum out in a second round yet.
