At the moment, they are still standing at the gateway entrance that they just arrived from earlier.
"What is this place?" said Dior curiously.
"No idea, this is my first time seeing something like this," said an elf man in amaze.
'Hmm, for some reason this looks like some kind of fantasy mushroom land,' Prime thought to himself.
Just as Prime guesses, it is indeed a "Fantasy Mushroom Land,". The environment on this floor is basically a massive grassland with beautiful flowers, and giant mushrooms that are about 1 to 125 feet tall.
Because the size of the mushroom here is so big, people could even use it as a shed to stay under, or keep themselves cool from the bright sunlight that is shining at them.
Besides that, the mushroom here is also surprisingly very cute and colorful, which made the overall environment looks very welcoming or friendly.
"Be careful guys, don't get deceived by the environment and also don't let your guard down, because they are still many powerful monsters nearby around us," said Cyrena.
Since they are in the safe zone area right now, so that's why they still haven't encountered any monsters yet.
Once they had enough of getting amazed by their surrounding, that's when they continue their journey again with Cyrena in the front leading them.
At the moment, they are heading toward the East direction and along the way, they fought many monsters and surprisingly, most of the monsters here are Slime looking. To be precise, they look exactly like the Slime in the video game called "MapleStory,". Which is a very popular 2D game that came out in the year of 2003.
They come in all shapes and colors, but mostly round in shape and very cute looking. Also, it seems like the darker their color is, the stronger they are. For example, White Slime will be the weakest one, then Yellow Slime, then Orange Slime, Red Slime, and so on, all the way to Black Slime.
Despite their cute appearance, they are all very powerful and immune to all physical attacks. And their only weakness is magic damage, so as long as your attack is magic damage, then killing those slime won't be a problem except that, you will be wasting a lot of your MP/Mana.
However, it's not a problem for Prime since he can just use his dragon flame to kill them all and at the same time, his dragon flame also doesn't cost a lot of Mana.
"Damn, those Slimes! They may look cute, but they're strong and we had to waste so much of our Mana just to kill them," said an elf man unhappily.
"Ah! I hate Slime, they are so annoying," said an elf girl unhappily too.
"Hahaha! Don't worry, we will rest again later when the night comes," said Dior as he too also starting to run out of MP.
'So many cute slimes, and I'm surprised they look so much alike like those slime in the video game MapleStory," Prime thought to himself.
Eventually, 10 hours later, nighttime finally arrived and Aelena's party decided to call it a day and rest for the night.
Since it is not safe to sleep on the ground area, so instead they find the tallest mushroom that is about 90 feet tall and rests on top of it.
"Heh, what a good view looking from up here," said Prime as he enjoys the night view.
"Hahaha! You're right, and also those slimes can't get up here, so we should be able to sleep soundly for the rest of the night," said Dior.
As for the two elf girls and 1 elf man, they are helping each other to start the campfire, and the food they are cooking today is the giant mushroom on this floor.
As mentioned before, the giant mushroom on this floor is somewhere around 1 to 125 feet tall, so the mushroom they are cooking right now is a 2-foot size mushroom. Which is more than enough for everyone to eat it.
Of course, their cooking pot is not big enough to fit in the 2-foot mushroom, so instead, they cut the mushroom into smaller pieces, so that way they can cook it easier.
After a while, once the food is prepared, everyone then began eating it.
"Wow! This is delicious! Damn, I wonder what kind of mushroom is this? It tastes so different as compared to those mushrooms that we ate back home," said an elf man while eating like crazy.
"You're right! This is really delicious!" said an elf girl while agreeing with the elf man too.
Unlike everyone who got excited because of how tasty the mushroom is, but Prime on the other hand didn't care much and just ate it quietly. After their meal is done, they then began drinking wine again just like before, and chill for the rest of the night until they fall asleep.
Then the next morning arrived, they woke up and continue their journey again toward the east direction.
At the moment, they currently heading up toward a big hill and when they arrived on the top of the hill, they saw a beautiful big mountain ahead of them.
"We're almost there everyone," said Cyrena.
Unlike many mountains on Earth tend to be random in shape, but this mountain they are heading to called "SlimePeak" Mountain, is very square in shape. Which doesn't look like a natural mountain at all, almost like a man-made square mountain. And on top of the SlimePeak mountain, it is basically where the Heavenly Light Sword is located, at least according to what Cyrena says.
"So you're saying that the Heavenly Light Sword we're looking for is up there on that mountain?" said Aelana to Cyrena.
"That's right, but do be careful though because on top of that mountain, there's a very powerful guardian beast called the "Slime King". I also heard that the Slime King is immune to both magic and physical attack. In another word, it is really hard to kill it," said Cyrena.
"Immune to both physical and magic attacks? What the f**K? Then you're saying that the Slime King has no weakness at all?" said Dior confusingly.
"It has a weakness only if you destroy the core magic stone in its body, but the problem is, it's really hard to do it," said Cyrena.
"Ah, I see, I thought the Slime King was immortal for a second, phew!"
Just like all monsters in this world, they have a magic stone in their body and when they die, their magic stone would explode and die along with them.
In another word, there are two ways of killing monsters in this world, the first is obviously to kill it directly and for the second, is by destroying its magic stone. However, when comes to killing the Slime King, sadly there's only one method and that is by destroying its magic stone in its body.
As they got closer toward the SlimePeak mountain, they noticed that the slime monsters here are getting stronger and stronger. But thankfully, Prime is with them, so they didn't have to worry about it too much and was able to proceed smoothly.
Eventually, when they arrived at the top of SlimePeak mountain, they realized they couldn't see the bottom clearly anymore due to the white cloud around them. In another word, they're right now high up in the sky above the cloud.
'I'm surprised at how high this SlimePeak Mountain is, it's almost as tall as Mount Everest or maybe even higher,' Prime was impressed.
Since the SlimePeak Mountain is square in shape, so even though they are at the top, the ground here is still flat. Just like at the bottom where there are grasses, flowers, and giant mushrooms, so it's the same with here as well.
Not only that the SlimePeak Mountain is very high above the cloud, but the land at the top is also pretty massive, meaning that there's plenty of space for people to run or even explore around.
"Wow! This is amazing! I can't believe we're actually above the cloud right now," said an elf man excitingly.
While everyone is getting amazed by the beautiful scenery around them, suddenly ahead of them, they saw a giant green slime sleeping soundly under a giant mushroom that is about 125 feet tall.
"Eh? Is that perhaps the Slime King Cyrena was talking about earlier?" said one of the elf girls curiously.
"Hahaha! That's how the Slime King looks like? Well, it doesn't look scary at all and surprisingly it looks cute too," said an elf man while laughing.
Not only that the Slime King is a few times larger than other regular slimes, but the Slime King also has a big gold crown above its head.
'No wonder is called Slime King because it has a crown on its head, what a coincidence,' Prime thought to himself.
