Terraria: Cruel World Legends

As the Slime King shattered into pieces of gel, the red gem in the sky also shattered immediately, and its fragments scattered all over the ground.

After Xi Yao pulled out the sword, he fell to the grass, gasping for breath.

Then he pulled out a bottle of weak healing potion from his pocket and drank it all in one gulp to relieve his injuries.

"... So... there are still such powerful creatures in this world?"

Xi Yao was lying on the ground, talking to himself

"Huh... eh? What is this?" Xi Yao found that after the Slime King was defeated, he dropped a lot of things. So he reluctantly got up to take a look.

Besides the endless amount of gel on the ground, there was also a blue bag... and... a blue vortex-like object floating in the air.

"Is this... the legendary thing that Andrew mentioned?" Xi Yao then put it close to his ear.

……

Over time, these gelatinous creatures will absorb each other, slowly increasing in size and strength.

But there is basically no need to worry about this. Slimes have no consciousness, and under natural circumstances, their gathering is just accidental.

Although they seem to be able to absorb knowledge, it is limited to the most basic ones.

……

“…Even though I didn’t quite understand what he was saying, I was very shocked by this Chuunibyou quote…”

After saying that, Xi Yao looked at the blue gift bag.

"This should be opened in the same way as the cloth bag, right?"

Xi Yao found the drawstring and pulled the rope casually, and the rope fell off into the gift bag. Then what came into view was the contents of the gift bag.

Inside the gift bag were some weak healing potions, a strange-looking machine, a rope made of slime, and a gel with a small golden crown inside.

(The Ninja Set, Royal Dessert, and Holy Relics are not included here.)

Just as Xi Yao was confused about the use of these things, a hand gently patted his shoulder.

"Xi Yao, I'm back." Andrew said to Xi Yao with a smile.

"You still remember to come back? Oh... nevermind, what's the matter with this gift bag?"

Andrew: "You mean the treasure bag? It is a physical substance formed by the powerful power in the body of some creatures after their death."

"Really... Then let's see what these things can be used for." Xi Yao said and stuffed the gift bag to Andrew.

“…” Andrew took it and looked at the contents of the gift bag.

"Do you need me to answer them one by one?"

"Of course, how else would I know what these things are used for?"

"Okay... ahem, listen." (Someone is going to increase the word count again)

"First, look at this thing - this machine is called a solidifier, it's a crafting station, but it doesn't really do anything...

This slime rope is something that is useful to you right now. It is called a slime hook and can be equipped on your sleeve. When you need it, stretch out your hand and it will automatically shoot out, then hook the block and pull you to the hooked block. "

Andrew finished speaking and looked at a gel with a small gold crown embedded in it.

"As for this gel...try to equip it anywhere on your body and then have a close encounter with a slime. Then you'll know its usefulness."

Xi Yao did as Andrew said, and then he turned around and saw a slime jumping towards him.

Xi Yao rushed forward, drew out the enchanted sword, and slashed with the sword without any hesitation.

With the flash of swords and sabers, the slime was cut in half in an instant.

Slime:???

Andrew:Σ(°△°|||)︴

Andrew: "I said close contact! Why did you cut it?"

"Isn't it just close contact?" Xi Yao said calmly. He thought close contact was a knife-blade encounter.

"You...well, I mean, go touch the slime and try it..." Andrew held his forehead with one hand and was speechless.

"...Is that so? You don't explain clearly...Wait, why would I touch a slime when I have nothing better to do?"

"...I've already told you that you'll know the use of this accessory only after you touch it..."

"OK then."

Andrew pointed to a place not far away and said:

"There's a slime over there. Go ahead, but don't kill it."

Xi Yao ran straight over, then tentatively reached out and touched the slime.

The strange thing was that the slime did not jump onto Xiyao's face, but instead became like a little bird, rubbing against Xiyao's hand. Moreover, the slime's original rock-like texture also became soft.

"What's going on?" Xi Yao was a little surprised as he looked at the slime rubbing his hand.

"This accessory is called Royal Gel, and it can prevent you from being harassed by slimes in the early stages. Because its purpose is to make most slimes friendly... but some slimes won't..."

"Not bad... This way I won't be ambushed by the slime... But looking at the slimes like this, they... are quite cute..." Xi Yao said while stroking the slime.

“Cute… I hope you will think so in the future.

Okay, Xiyao, let's go back to the house and discuss the next plan with you." Andrew said, and walked straight to the wooden house.

"Guide, wait for me." Xi Yao gently put the slime down and chased after him.

……

deep in the jungle

In the dark palace

Yalim sat on the throne, staring at the scene created by the crystal ball in front of him and smiled.

"Xi Yao? Interesting... Cleverly using the slime's weakness to consume the Slime King... and thus easily defeat it... seems like a good idea...

However, to deal with such weak creatures... do we also need to exploit their weaknesses?

...But...I seem to be very interested in him..."

Just as Yalim was talking to himself, at the palace gate, a girl in a red battle suit and a hood slowly walked into the palace.

Due to the extremely rare sunlight outside the palace, her shadow was stretched very long.

She walked up to Yalim, knelt on one knee, lowered her head, and said:

"Your Majesty, at your request, the former ocean kingdom of Ilmeris has been reduced to a dry desert."

“Well, Calamitous, you did a great job…” Yharim praised.

"..." The girl didn't say anything, but took off her hood and looked at Yalim calmly with her empty eyes.

The girl had long gray hair and her skin was a little dark, but it didn't seem to be born that way. Her eyes revealed an endless emptiness.

Moreover, the girl is only 16 years old

Although the girl's skin was a little dark, her appearance was very delicate, like a doll...but there was no expression on her face.

"…Disaster, after all, you have to know that if Amidius and I cannot be allies, then we can only be enemies."

"Yes, Your Majesty." The girl lowered her head and said calmly.

When Yalim saw her like this, he sighed and said, as if he had thought of something:

"Calamity, if I ask you to go to Hell and destroy the Obsidian Empire in Hell, will you do it?"

When the girl heard this, she immediately raised her head, and her originally empty eyes were filled with anger.

"If Your Majesty is willing to give me this opportunity for revenge, I will crush the Obsidian Empire."

"Really? It seems that your hatred for the Obsidian Empire has not changed."

“Your Majesty, hatred will not change with the passage of time, just like you. After so many years, your anger towards those gods still exists, and my hatred for the Obsidian Empire is also growing.

I have always wanted to destroy them, and now that you have given me this opportunity, I will do it without hesitation."

"Well... if that's the case, then go ahead. After all, the Obsidian Empire is also a hidden danger to my rule and revenge."

After saying this, Yalim stood up from the throne and walked towards the girl. He stretched out a hand and stroked the girl's long gray hair.

"...You've grown so big... I remember when I first saw you, you were still a little girl under 8 years old..."

Hearing this, the girl lowered her head...

"Your Majesty, I will never forget the kindness you and my mentor have shown me. I will repay you and him with everything I can..."

“…” Yalim said nothing, but walked back to the throne silently.

"Go ahead." Yalim held his forehead with his hand.

Hearing this, the girl stood up and slowly left the palace.

"..."
