Chapter 38 Slime Is Tough



The Slimes didn't waste any time at all. As soon as they finished throwing Erend into the cave wall, they immediately gathered again to drag Erend and lift him into the air.

After that, the Slimes smashed Erend repeatedly onto the cave floor. The cave floor made up of sharp stones added to Erend's suffering.

Luckily [Dragon Scale] was still active so he didn't feel any pain. But being slammed around like a toy like this sucks.

Erend wanted to fight back and teach them a lesson as quickly as possible but he had no chance. Slimes don't seem like time-wasting creatures.

They didn't show any movement other than attacking. As if they wanted to destroy Erend as quickly as possible.

Erend suddenly stopped in midair. Erend thinks this is his chance! He spread his gaze around to find a suitable opening to escape.

But something hard and sharp hit Erend's chest and pushed him against the cave wall. Erend saw that the Slimes had coalesced into a sharp spear-like shape that pierced his chest.

'So they can become hard like this too!' Erend shouted in his head. It seems that these Slimes can indeed turn into whatever form they want.

But Erend didn't feel anxious because he had [Dragon Scale] to protect him. Even, so he had to be fast because his MP could run out.

Erend didn't think long before he used his ultimate skill.

[ Skill activated: Dragon Transformation (Lv.1) ]

Erend turned into the figure of a Dragon with red and black scales. He rose five meters high but the roof of the cave was still way above him.

This time Erend still had a little bit of his consciousness. Even though he still didn't have complete control over this Dragon's body, it was enough because he only needed one goal. Destroy the Slimes.

"GRAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

The Dragon-Erend roared and started a rampage. He clawed and bit the Slimes but they just crawled and reunited. Even though Erend had little control over him, he was still aware of it.

Dragon-Erend changed his attack. He opened his mouth wide and then spit fire throughout the cave room. It turned out to be an effective method. The slimes that were burned by the Dragon-Erend's torrent of flames evaporated so quickly that the cavernous space began to fill with mist. But soon the mist disappeared.

Dragon-Erend noticed that the slime chunks were getting smaller and smaller. It was then that Dragon-Erend knew that his attack had worked.

Suddenly the chunk of Slime started to change shape again. They have become smaller than before, but overall they are still quite large.

What he didn't expect happened, the Slimes turned into Dragon forms that looked just like him. But in the form of thick slimes with various colors.

Dragon-Erend was taken aback and was silent for a while. But his beast instinct alerted Erend to attack. So he attacked.

Dragon-Erend fought the Slime Dragon. The cave shook from their fight. It turned out that the strength of the Slime Dragon was almost the same as that of the Dragon-Erend. That makes their fight very intense.

The stalactites on the ceiling began to fall from the vibrations from the fight.

But an imitation is still an imitation. An imitation of a Dragon would not be able to match a real Dragon.

Dragon-Erend pushed the Slime Dragon against the cave wall then bit its shoulder and tore it apart.

The Slime Dragon tried to regenerate itself like before. But Dragon-Erend immediately spits fire at the Slime Dragon.

This time Erend felt that his emotions were going along with the fire he was spitting out. He was fed up with this slime-shaped creature.

As a result, Erend included his anger accompanying the gushing fire so that the fire he spewed became even stronger.

The color of the fire which was previously orange like the normal fire is now accompanied by blue color. The rocks that formed the cave walls were melted away by the Dragon-Erend flames. The slime certainly couldn't do much.

Dragon-Erend stopped its bursts for a while and flapped its wings to get away.

A moment later he opened his mouth again. This time the orange and blue flames coalesced to form a fireball. Then Dragon-Erend shot the fireball at the Slime.

'ZWOOOOOSSSSHHHH!!!'

'BOOM!!!'

As soon as the fireball hit the Slime, they instantly dispersed from the Dragon form. Orange and blue flames rose and burned the place for a while before finally extinguishing.

[Dragon Transformation] is finished. Erend fell on the floor of the cave with sweat dripping down his body and gasping for breath.

"I didn't think that dealing with a multicolored slime would be this difficult," Erend muttered tiredly.

[ Daily Quest Completed! ]

[ Reward: 100 Exp. ]

[ You leveled up! ]

[ You leveled up! ]

"Haahhh..." Erend let out a long breath. If he had gone through this Daily Quest a few days ago he would have leveled up even more. In the future, as much as possible he should take on the Daily Quest every day.

Suddenly something touched his hand. Erend turned his head and found a tiny pink slime near his hand.

Erend was surprised and immediately jumped to his feet. He turned his head in all directions for another Slime that might attack him again. But found nothing.

After all, a notification from Systema has appeared saying that the Daily Quest has been completed. The slime didn't look like it wanted to attack him either.

Instead, he jumps at Erend's feet and acts like a lost puppy. Erend lowered his head and looked at the Slime. "You didn't mean to kill me, did you?"

[ "No." ]

The answer sounded in Erend's head. Erend didn't know it was a male or female voice. It might even be both. After all, he was now talking to the Slime via telepathy.

"Then what do you want?" Erend asked.

[ "Serves." ]

Erend was silent and thoughtful. Then said. "You're not thinking of getting revenge because I killed... Uhhmm... Your friends, are you?" Erend was also confused about what to call all the Slimes he had burned.

[ "No." ]

After the sound, the tiny Slime. Tut's voice followed.

[ "You can make this Slime your subordinate." ] Erend was astonished.

"I can have subordinates?"

[ "Some creatures will serve you after you managed to subdue them." ] Tut explained.

A smile formed on Erend's face. "That's amazing!"
