Chapter 225: High-Grade Slime

Name:I Just want a Peaceful life Author:
*Bluss* The stone entered the gigantic slime without any resistance. After a while, the stone slowly dissolved into nothingness. Seeing this, Angus and the others couldn't help but look at Anna, who is still playing inside the slime.

"Err.. Should we get her out, master?" asked Ilgor.

"Well, Anna has a different body than any of us. So, she probably will be fine inside there. Still, this is quite problematic. At this rate, we can't damage the slime at all." said Angus.

Then, he pointed his finger to the monster core deep inside the gigantic slime. After silently casting the spell, Angus shoots [Snipe Shoot] towards the gigantic slime. *BAM* 

The snipe shot penetrated the giant slime without any resistance. After a while, the snipe shot dissolves to nothingness like the rock. During this time, the gigantic slime felt like it didn't feel anything and stayed idle.

"Hmm.. It seems the deeper it goes towards the core, the more corrosive the slime. Guess I need to improvise a little bit. Jayna, let me borrow that bow." said Angus.

"Oh, you mean this one?" replied Jayna while taking out a metallic bow from her space storage.

Since Jayna lacks the long-range attack, she decides to buy a long-range weapon to cover this area. After a few days inside the Ancestral Ruin, she found a unique bow similar to the one that wounded her during the battlefield arena tournament.

However, this bow is many times more expensive and stronger. According to the merchant, the bow's attack will keep getting stronger without limit until it couldn't withstand the power itself.

The merchant said that the maximum power it could hold is around two or three mana of a six circle spell, which is enormous. While testing the bow, both Angus and Jayna could never reach the maximum of the bow they could hold.

Angus's eyes turn serious, taking hold of the metallic bow and pointing it towards the gigantic slime. [Bow Art - Furious Rain] a moment later, Angus's hand becomes blurry and moves rapidly. *Bam* *Bam* *Bam*

In less than a second, Angus already shoots dozens of mana arrows towards the gigantic slime. Each of these arrows is stronger than before. Soon, the arrow managed to penetrate deeper into the gigantic slime core.

In due time, Angus mana arrow finally reached the gigantic slime core and hit it. *Ting* Suddenly, the gigantic slime trembled. Few tentacles made of slime come towards Angus, Jayna, and Ilgor at a fast speed from the gigantic slime.

Angus and the others immediately retreat back. The tentacle slime keeps pursuing Angus and the others relentlessly. While Angus and the others are dodging the tentacle slime, Anna is still playing inside the slime, like diving under the water, ignoring Angus and the others.

While being pursued by the tentacles, "Ilgor, protect me!! Jayna, prepare a fire!" said Angus as he began to cast a spell.

Ilgor immediately comes in front of Angus, holding the incoming tentacle slime. While he handles the incoming slime, Angus casts an overcharged Fire Oil towards the tentacle slime and its gigantic body. 

Seeing this, Jayna immediately uses a powerful Crimson Slash towards the Fire Oil. *BOOM* The combination attack creates an enormous explosion along and petrifies all the incoming tentacle slime. Still, the main body slime didn't get hurt at all.

Once again, the main body slime trembles and produces more tentacle slime towards Angus and the others.

"Tch… I guess I need to use another attack. Ilgor, Jayna, give me a few moments!!" said Angus as he retreated further in the back.

Hearing this, Jayna and Ilgor launch a few strong attacks to attract the slime tentacle. In the meantime, Angus takes a deep breath and takes a certain stance. Then, he began to move in a unique rhythm, not fast yet also not slow. 

The move was so exquisite that it seemed like one with nature. Suddenly, in Angus's both hands, a spark of white-colored lightning appeared. The spark becomes more apparent and follows his movement. Soon, around Angus, there is a spark of dancing white lightning.

After a moment, Angus gathers the spark of lightning in his hand and shoots it towards the gigantic slime [Heavenly Lightning]. In the blink of an eye, the lightning hit the gigantic slime body and hit the core. *BAM*

The gigantic slime immediately exploded and obliterated into puddles of lifeless slime. Anna got thrown out from the slime's main body covered with slime. 

Getting covered with slime, "Hahaha.. Again.. Again.." said Anna while playing with the puddle of slime.

In the meantime, Angus falls on his knee exhaustedly.

"Ha.. Ha.. This is why I hate to use this skill. It's too exhausting." said Angus while calming his breath.

"Angus, are you alright? And what's that?" asked Jayna while approaching Angus.

"Ahh.. yeah, I just need to rest a little bit. Huft.. This is just another skill of mine. Anyway, it seems the slime is dead." said Angus diverting the topic.

"Of course, it's dead. The slime is bursting like a bubble. Baam.. Hahaha…" commented Anna while laughing happily.

The other three sane people ignore Anna's remark and begin to collect the slime puddle with the special container. Like Angus said before, High-grade slime is a valuable rare material for weapons and armors.

High-grade slime has a high magic resistance. This could be seen when it could withstand the Fire Oil combination attack. According to some books Angus got from Gilford, the high-grade slime has an average of 90% above magic resistance properties. 

This means no ordinary spell could hurt the armor made of high-grade slime. Some experts even made an armor entirely from high-grade slime. 

The armor is said to be able to withstand any kind of magic. However, it is weak towards any melee attack and physical attack, especially piercing attack.

Still, combined with any hard material, it could easily eliminate this weakness. Unfortunately, High-grade slime itself is a very rare monster. Even in the Sur village, they could only find it once during all these years, staying in the back of the Sand Turtle.

Not to mention in Firuman, where the slime monster is very rare since many people will hunt it down the moment they appear. According to Sur village, slime itself is almost extinct and hardly to be found by the monster.

Moreover, A slime couldn't upgrade its grade using normal means like other monsters. The high-grade slime could only be achieved after millions of lower-grade slime combined together. The more slime combined, the higher its grade.

This unique monster actually could hardly be called a monster since the high-grade one is never attracted to any mana user and likes to stay idle and dissolve anything nearby slowly. Unless it is provoked, it will never attack any other being.

However, it has a monster core made of miasma that makes it categorized as a monster. Angus found the high-grade slime is part of his fortune. Judging by the quantity of slime he gets, it is enough to make weapons and armor for hundreds of people.

Unfortunately, not everyone could process the high-grade slime into armor. The processing method is already long gone and lost in time. 

Even Angus, with his extensive knowledge, didn't know the method. For the time being, He could only collect it and experiment with it little by little.

90% magic resistance is too good to be passed by. It means the user will receive only 10% percent magic damage. If the user has an amazing resilience body, this practically makes the user immune to almost all energy-based magic.

If most of the Sur village wore this kind of armor during the Infernal Giant explosion, all of them could survive with only a minor injury. Knowing this, Angus determined to find the processing method of the high-grade slime.

After experimenting for a few years, he believed he could find the processing method of the high-grade slime. Done harvesting the slime, Angus and the others continue their journey towards the next hunting location.

During the journey, "Emm… Angus, please teach me!! Teach me!! Teach me!!" said Anna while repeating her sentence.

"What do you mean? Teach you what?" asked Angus.

"Teach me how to burst bubbles like before!! I also want to burst bubbles like that." replied Anna.

Hearing this, Jayna and Ilgor also perk their ears, waiting for Angus's answer. No matter what, Angus's previous attack is not ordinary lightning since it could destroy and kill the magic-resistant slime. 

Angus began to think something, "Hmm.. Actually, it's not that I don't want to teach you. But, it is quite impossible for you to do that. Unless you have a special body or unique talent." replied Angus.

"I have a special body. Can Anna start learning now?" replied Anna.

"Even if you have a special body, you need to have great control to do this skill. Without it, you will only kill yourself." replied Angus.

"Killing myself?!! Like a bursting bubble?" asked Anna.

"Err.. Yeah, like a bursting bubble." replied Angus.

"Not good. Anna is not a bursting bubble. Anna likes bursting bubbles but does not like becoming a bursting bubble." said Anna, which made everyone hear it confused.
