Chapter 102: Slime Attack! 3

A thought rushes through my mind as the rock that the Slime King threw at me shatters into pieces.
With Benladann I had already seen how she had molded a lot of monsters and made them into zombies, changing an entire ecosystem. Even the trees became mutants, covered with eyes and stuff.
And now here it is a very annoying Slime, a Slime King summoned! It was summoned by a person with the Unique Skill Monster Summon! Does this mean that more Cheat Ability users are roaming around?
I wonder just how much have they changed this world then?
Perhaps Benladann was able to not do much, but there might be other people that got here way before me and her… what if this Monster Summoner guy just filled this world with even more monsters?
Wait… what if all monsters just come from the ones he summoned?
No, it can't be… Benladann did say that monsters were from other Realms before they were destroyed.
But then where is this Summoner? Well, I can't detect anyone, and Analyze doesn't detect anyone else… so, it is most likely not even here.
So this guy, whoever he or she is, just went around summoning monsters and leaving them to their own luck? Haha, how funny!

…
I watch at the Slime King status again, as I find something different, I was sure as hell he spent a lot of Mana, yet it is back up again?!
Does this guy has infinite mana?
No, it just recovered extremely quickly, kind of like me.
But unlike me, this monster doesn't have a cool system nor a skill that increases mana regeneration.
Wait… As a summoned monster, perhaps it drains the mana from its summoner? So its summoner has enough mana to refill that with ease?
Just who is that guy then?
Quite terrifying.
Or perhaps it only has super amazing mana recovery?
Whatever is the case, I am already reaching it, and the Slime King gets visually angry as its crown sinks in the middle of its circular body, suddenly conjuring several icicle spears and launching them towards me using Icy Winds!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!
The icicle spears flashed through the air, leaving icy trails behind!
Oh no, he got me!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
A sudden shower of icicle spears pierce through my body, I begin to vomit blood and I am about to die!
"Joking!"
FLASH!
I quickly reveal to the Slime King that I am completely fine, all the ice icicles got stuck into my scales, but they were actually being slowly absorbed by my very body.
Ice Absorption kicks in once more!
"Did you really thought that you could beat me with Ice Magic, you fool! MUDA! MUDA! MUDAAA!"
I approach the shocked Slime King as I begin to shower it with powerful piercing attacks with my tail, as Skadi rushes at my side and helps me!
CLASH! CLASH! CLASH! CLASH!
The Slime King is barely surviving by evading with its 1000 Dexterity, but I am faster, and quickly catch to it!
I quickly extend my claws and dive into its sea of slime, grasping the Mana Core!
"You're done for!"
CRASH!
With a single grip of my claws, the Mana Core is shattered into pieces, and the entire sea of slime I was diving in falls over the ground, motionless!
He's dead.
And I am covered in slime.
Oh, might as well try it.
I quickly taste the slime and it… it kind of acidic. It has no other particular taste.
Oh, what a disappointment.
Wait, maybe we can mix it with the fruits and make jelly though… Oooh, that's actually a good idea.
And we got a bunch here!
I glance back at me as I see everyone fine, but covered with slime.
The wolves that were about to die were healed in time by me, and they were now recovering inside the fortress.
"I think this is the first time I fought this monster… They were certainly different than stray wolves from different packs, ice bears, or rabbits," said Benladann. In the last week, we hunted bigger prey so she could get some real-life experience in fighting, and she had gotten more or less used to killing animals now, but certainly, killing slimes feels weird, it is like just a living mass of jelly.
"Indeed. I never thought I would find slimes from all monsters, I thought we would only find normal animals converted into monsters, but this pure fantasy monster such as a slime broke the "realistic" feeling of this scenario," I sighed.
"Realistic?" asked Benladann.
"Ah, never mind the rants of this old man, let's go back to the Ice Fortress… After we gather all the loot we got," I said.
"Alright!" said Benladann.
The way we carried the slime was pretty easy, I created a giant bucket, and we began to pour all the slime inside, it ended filling itself quite easily, until we got every single slime "corpse" inside, reaching over 100 liters of this substance.
"I wonder if we can make jelly out of this!" said Benladann.
"Yeah, I was thinking just the same thing as you," I said, as I began to quickly eat all the Mana Cores shattered all over the battlefield, without missing a single one.
And well… remember when I said that I was able to get the Skills of the Mana Cores I ate sometimes? Well, it happened again.
Ding!
I got three new Skills!
Perhaps I didn't get Self-Division because it won't work with my body type?
But these three somehow work I guess…
I suppose that as long as the Abilities fit my body, I can get them regardless.
