Chapter 94 - Mutated Slime

"It's ugly now…" Albert let out a long sigh, realizing that the slime's level had increased by fifteen because they fused with each other. At the same time, there were five cores, so killing the slime would require them to hit all those cores.

Erica flinched as she leaped back, trying to be as far as possible. Her body was shaking as she looked at the slime with a pale face.

"Erica?" Albert squinted his eyes, checking her condition.

Before she could talk, the slimes sent a total of twenty tentacles.

"Tsk." Yale clicked his tongue and struck the tentacles from the side, cutting half of them down.

Meanwhile, Albert used his Anti-Horny Shield to block a few others before striking each tentacle.

"Erica, get a grip!" Albert shouted.

"Ah…" Erica snapped back as she started panting. Her complexion became worse.

"What happened to you?" Albert narrowed his eyes.

"I…" Erica gritted her teeth as she had a hard time looking at the slime.

"If you're not going to help, you should move back. We will call you after we deal with this monster." Albert sighed.

Erica took a deep breath and nodded. Although she wanted to help, it was impossible for her. So, the only thing she could do was to distance herself.

'Hmm…' Albert recalled her expression and thought, 'Is this slime bringing her trauma back? It feels that way.'

However, they didn't have much time to think as the slimes began to send more tentacles.

Yale decided to regroup with Albert, noticing they were at a disadvantage because of the number of attacks.

Before speaking, they struck each tentacle with ease.

"Teacher, it's going to be hard to kill that slime."

"Can you do the bomb?"

"Not yet. However, I can gather the energy for the bomb. It won't form the bat and fall, but it should be able to explode, but a bit far too weak to be called a 3-Star Spell."

"Okay. Do it when the tentacles gather in one spot." Albert nodded.

"Understood."

"I'm going in." Albert used his Bonk Dash. As much as he wanted to send this slime to the Horny Jail to get more EXP and Bonk Bites, he knew he shouldn't make them that way.

Unlike the satyrs, the slimes were more dangerous to be left alive. So, he planned to kill them even though they wouldn't get many benefits from it.

As if anticipating Albert's movement, the slime immediately spread its tentacles in all directions, trying to catch him.

"I will take care of the right," Yale shouted while raising his hand.

Suddenly, a two-colored Magic Circle appeared. The magic circle was small and the color reflected Yale's light and dark elements. It released a small ball containing light and dark elements.

When the tentacles approached it, the ball exploded, causing a shock wave that blew away the tentacles.

Surprisingly, they were extinguished as if the bomb contained Bonk Particles that hit all of them.

Unfortunately, it only worked for the tentacles coming from the right.

Albert still needed to destroy the ten tentacles on his left.

This whole time, Albert didn't have a spell that could cause damage to multiple targets at once, so he was in a dilemma about how to deal with this.

In the end, he used his Bonkbolt and shot those five flaming Bonk Bats to the tentacles.

After shooting down five tentacles, Albert prepared to use another spell, but the tentacles had reached his position.

He ended up using his Justice Robe to block the tentacles.

As if learning from Albert's previous movement, the tentacles moved away from the robe, afraid of touching it. It then curved once more to attack Albert from a different direction.

'Really?' Albert was taken aback by the slime's intelligence, but he didn't underestimate the slime, considering its level was so high.

Before the tentacles could reach him, he used his Bonk Dash to step to the side and reach the tentacles' bodies.

'Swift Bonk.' Albert muttered inwardly as he made a quick swing, destroying the remaining tentacles.

After that, he took another turn and rushed to the slime, wanting to at least destroy a single core.

As if predicting his movement, the slime finally used its hidden attack.

Ten tentacles suddenly appeared from below, grasping Albert's hands, feet, and body.

"Teacher!" Yale widened his eyes and used his Bonk Dash to reach him.

However, before he could arrive, a tentacle forcefully entered Albert's mouth, injecting a liquid into his mouth. He felt the faint sweet taste like that of a syrup.

Albert didn't have a change of expression as he bit the tentacle, ripping it apart. After that, he used his Bonkbolt and struck the tentacles that grasped his hands.

With his hands regaining their freedom, Albert didn't hesitate to hit the remaining tentacles, freeing himself.

He then used his Bonk Dash and reached the slime.

"Bonk Discharge!" He planned to shatter the slime with one strike, but the slime immediately spread its body, preventing Albert from destroying their cores.

Albert clicked his tongue and struck the core near him, discharging the lightning that dispersed the liquid, albeit didn't touch another core.

The slime instantly recovered and a huge tentacle formed, hitting him on the chest.

Albert used his Anti-Horny Shield to block the tentacle, but the slime was far smarter than he imagined.

The big tentacle suddenly split into three. One of them touched the Anti-Horny Shield while the other two managed to loop around it, pushing Albert's chest.

Due to the impact, Albert was launched into the air and landed not far from Yale.

"Tsk. I couldn't kill it." Albert frowned, wondering what he should do. Before the slime could do anything, Albert hurriedly raised his hand, summoning a big red magic circle on top of it.

Suddenly, a Bonk Bat made of flame fell down the Magic Circle like a bomb that was dropped by an airplane.

The slime raised many of its tentacles to create a small roof on top of its body. That roof received the blast directly.

The explosion engulfed the tentacles, but it didn't harm the slime.

When Albert planned to attack him more, another ten tentacles immediately came out of the ground, stopping Albert.

"This is not good." Albert sighed. "It will take too much time to kill that slime."

"I'm worried about Teacher's condition. Didn't the slime inject something into your body?" Yale glanced at Albert, worried.

"Ah, that one…" Albert thought for a moment. "It's sweet like a syrup. I don't think there's something wrong with my body, so I guess it's just a sweet drink for me. Maybe I should ask for more…"

[Aphrodisiac, Viagra, and other stuff related to them are not effective to bonkers. Yale won't be affected too because he has accepted the way of Bonk.]

'That's good to know.' Albert smiled and asked Yale, "By the way, do you want to get more of this sweet juice? We should get more and enjoy it later."

"Huh, what?"

"Your body can take it too. As I said, it's just going to be a sweet juice for us." Albert smirked. "Just cool it down and it will be a nice drink."

"…" Yale was stunned, not understanding how Albert's head worked. He thought the aphrodisiac didn't affect him earlier. But now, he believed the aphrodisiac had made his teacher go crazy.

"Anyway, we don't have time to talk. I want you to bring down one or two cores. I will handle the rest." Albert commanded with a serious expression.

"Understood."

Albert then raised his hand again, summoning the Magic Circle.

However, the slime's intelligence increased even further as the slime sent its tentacles before Albert could release another Bonk Bomb.

In other words, the tentacles broke apart the Magic Circle before he could do anything.

"…" Yale was speechless. He was thinking of making a Magic Circle above its head, but if the slime could do that, it was impossible for him to kill the slime.

Albert, on the other hand, still had a few cards to play.

He summoned five flaming Bonk Bats and sent them toward the slime instead of its tentacles. Since the slime would simply disperse upon impact, he thought the Bonkbat wouldn't have a problem.

Unfortunately for him, the slime had gotten a way to defeat his Bonkbolt. It simply moved away from its spot slightly.

With the distance between them, the slime obviously had enough time to avoid it.

Unbeknownst to the slime, the real objective of Albert's skill was to grab his attention as Yale had already come closer to the slime.

The slime tried to catch him from below, but Yale had predicted it and came to a halt. Since the tentacles were before his eyes, Yale immediately struck the tentacles without hesitation.

The tentacles couldn't react to Yale's movement and were obliterated.

"Eh?" Yale widened his eyes.

There was a reason why Albert could take it easy in his conversation earlier. He didn't underestimate the slime. Instead, he was focusing on the slime too much to the point he expected something like this.

After all, the status he saw earlier was enough to convince him that the victory was in the bag.

Name: No Name

Race: Mutated Slime

Level: 64

Gender: -

Jail Time: 68 hours

The levels had decreased by four and the Horny Jail Time was reduced to below 70 hours, so he thought they should grasp the victory as long as they destroyed another core.

And what Albert did was simply enabling Yale to do it.

"Bonk Strike."

A lightning Bonk Bat flew out of Albert's bat, alarming the slime.

At the same time, Albert also used his Bonk Bat to move in a different direction, splitting the slime's focus into three.

As expected, their movement started lagging as if they couldn't process their movements in an instant.

'Yeah… They can't keep up with us. There is always a weakness in every creature. They can indeed become so strong when fusing with each other, but only one consciousness remains.

'In other words, instead of five slimes, it's just one giant slime. It's easy to split its focus.' Albert smirked.

[You've become smarter.]

'What smarter? I've grown accustomed to fighting, so I can see something like this. Well, slime is supposed to be a weak monster, so this one is already one hell of a slime.' Albert sighed as he saw the incoming tentacles.

Because of the damage he dealt earlier, the slime chose to focus on him, who was clearly stronger and more troublesome.

Albert smiled and stopped moving, watching how his Lightning Bonk Strike penetrated all tentacles until it reached the main body, forcing it to change the body's shape to avoid it.

But this was just to prevent the slime from changing its shape again as Yale had finally arrived before the slime.

"Light and Dark Bonk!" Yale struck the slime's core, destroying it.

After that, more tentacles appeared from its body, but Yale had predicted this, so he made a Magic Circle in front of him.

This was the same Magic Circle as the bomb, so the slime prioritized this Magic Circle.

Yale smirked and struck another core using that chance before leaping back a few times.

'The trick won't work twice, so it's better to retreat. Besides, Teacher is going to end this slime…' Yale looked at Albert, who had destroyed all the tentacles that came after him and made his way toward the slime.

The slime flinched, but his reaction speed had decreased drastically due to the loss of three cores.

Albert didn't hesitate to hit the ground with his Bonk Bat, sending the energy from Bonk Wave.

Instead of letting the Bonk Wave go alone, Albert chose to run together with the Bonk Wave.

Seeing the incoming attacks, the slime chose to run away by crawling back to the house.

Albert didn't allow this and shot another bat using his Bonk Arrow.

He aimed perfectly in the middle, separating the two cores. It was at this time, he used his Bonk Dash to catch up before hitting the core.

The Bonk Wave emerged from the ground, stopping the slime as it didn't want to get hit by it. But this meant it was exposed to Albert's Bonk Bat.

The moment the slime realized this, it was too late. Albert had struck the core again, killing the slime.

"Haha. It's done!"
