The king was less grand and more calculating now. He was showing the great desire to liberate even one single place from the pests that plagued their city. "I think it would be wise to get them to combine or start to combine. I have seen it a few times but they stop moving when they combine for a split second. That is when I can hit them with my soak skill and then freeze the water with my frost whip skill. Then, you can smash it." 

Walker saw the king of the middles' eyes light up as he said that the king would have the final blow to smash the slimes they encountered. "That is an ideal plan. I can not sit idly by as king. I must push forward and defeat my peoples' enemies." The king lifted the hammer and looked to a grate in the ground. "They are there. By the stone grate." 

Walker saw the slight motion of the slimes and found it amazing that they were lying in wait. However, when he got a few steps closer he could see the half eaten away pipes underneath the stone grate. "I think we can mess with them from here," Walker said this to stop the king. This was met with the entire group stopping while Midnight excitedly ran to Walker's side. 

"I am going to use soak but add some extra mana to it. Think you can head in with the king and finish them off? Your claws and scales will be fine right?" Walker had a little worry for Midnight still but seeing her huff and raise her head he felt his worry was unfounded. 

After Walker spoke all the golems and guards went on high alert. They watched as he stretched out a hand and began to condense the water from the air in to a floating pool above the stone grates. The king was looking on with focus as he lifted the hammer slowly. Walker was demonstrating great control over the elements and was preparing an attack that was going to severely harm the acid slimes. 

"Now!" Walker used the soak spell that he had added a lot more mana to which dropped a heavy amount of water on to the great and also the acid slimes. There was a loud hiss and bubbling as the slimes tried to crawl away from the water and above the grate. 

Midnight leapt out ahead of any guard and slashed her claws through one of the slimes which had started to lose a large portion of its body due to the dilution. The king was right behind her smashing his blunt hammer on to an equally damaged slime crushing the core in to unknowable pieces. 

The remainder of the slimes that crawled out were completely eradicated by the guards and dwarven golems. Walker looked on at the melee strength demonstrated and realized that the dwarves were very similar to the demi-humans in the sense that they valued combat over magic. The only difference was that the dwarves highly valued crafting and the demi-humans agriculture. 

"These slimes fell apart at the sight of us! We will crush more. Move on!" The king of the middle was full of energy as they pushed on song the road. This had been a road  block for him before but was not a victory against the pests. 

Walker was sure to use the soak skill once more before leaving so that it could wash away any remnants of slimes. He didn't want to see them trying to come back in to existence here. He also used it on Midnight's' claws to avoid any damage from the slimes even though she appeared fine. "I think you and your people would fit in well at a demi-human tournament. You could show off weapons and fight tough battles." Walker was still planting seeds to encourage the joining of the Genesis alliance. 

"Would this be another benefit of joining the alliance you came here for?" The king saw right through Walker as he nodded his head. "We do want to show off our greatest creations. I will remember this. It has been some times since I visited another kingdom. Maybe the demi-humans want a guest." 

This was a surprise, the king had not visited a kingdom in a long time meaning that he had most likely been underground for years. "They would welcome you with open arms and maybe a good challenge. I had an interesting time participating in a tournament while visiting." This interested the king but it was not the time for stories. 

Turning the attention forward, the king of the middle pointed out the tallest structure ahead of them which had many different metal pipes leaving and entering it. "That is the high forge. That is the very center of my people and the merchant district. It is not the area around it that is dangerous. It is the fact that the slimes are condensed together on the doors trying to eat through." 

The king pointed again as the wall of yellow slime covering the massive door to the high forge. Which caused Walker and midnight to freeze in place.
