Lesson 5: Bone Man VS Slime

That slime is relatively clean (...) and I'm a little relieved.

Clear and transparent individuals, such that the true water formed intact into the mucus, and perhaps not so much time has passed since it gushed (popped) in this labyrinth.

It is rare that this is in such a clean (...) state because after a few days it begins the behavior of capturing and digesting other demons that live in the labyrinth, or small animals that have been unluckily entered, as their own nourishment.

If I said that, it is often with various carcasses of creatures in the process of digestion in the body, bones, etc., so much so that unfamiliar newbie adventurers, etc., even throw up on too much grossness.

Of course, demons close to animals, rats and other carcasses can mostly manage to stay calm, but if this was on the way to digesting human-shaped demons - goblins, or other adventurers who died in the labyrinth, it would be impossible to explore the day in a significant proportion.

Naturally, I can't do adventurers or anything like that, so I get used to it gradually, but still some disgust lingers.

If you've done it for ten years like me, you'll no longer feel anything, but an adventurer needs to be prepared to go out with that disgust for a year.

Given what I said, the slime in front of me is in a very clean and difficult condition.

No matter how many times I'm a boner (skeleton) right now, and in some cases I look more horrible than the slime I'm digesting, the feeling remains that I was a person.

I don't think I want to bother doing the task of spraying slime fluid with the carcass.

However, if slime in this state, its fluid is rather clean.

Slime fluids like this, not long after gushing (pop), are a rare substitute for materials that can be stored in containers and wholesaled intact by the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) and Alchemists.

Uncleaned slime body fluids are not bad materials because they can create low-level restorative water pills (potions) through various processes such as boiling or mixing other agents, but clean slime body fluids are somewhat expensive because they can be used in a variety of other ways.

Now that I've also lowered my tool bag before I became a boner (skeleton) to my waist, and I have some storage containers in it for times like this, I decide on my mind to retrieve my body fluids once I knock them out.

Then he approached Po Po and the irregularly moving slime.

Then Slime seemed to notice me, shaking, pounding and ejecting something like a chunk of water at me.

I was expecting that, so I'll be sure to avoid it.

The chunk of water I avoided hit the ground, and the ground smoked and melted slightly.

This is one of Slime's main ways of attacking, acid bullets (Acid Blitz).

As its name suggests, it is an attack method of producing and ejecting acidic substances in the body, which, when hit, are melted by acid.

Simple and acidic attacks are not powerful acidic enough to cause fatal injury in a single blow, but still take considerable damage if the hit is bad.

At least I'll definitely have to protect the area around my face.

... Well, where I've been melted a little around my face right now, I wouldn't be harmed by losing my vision or anything like that, but in that case, I'm going to be melted bones directly.

If that happens, will it mean more damage directly linked to death than losing sight?

It seems like we need to avoid all attacks, even if they are intentional.

But no matter how dangerous Slime's attack is, its speed is very slow.

Normally the speed of movement of the slime (normal slime) is very slow, and the movement itself is a one-pattern, not as threatening as the more careful and challenging.

However, depending on the number of means of attack at hand, it is difficult to defeat, just to say.

In addition to that, my physical abilities have just risen, having fought the Bones (Skeletons) to absorb some of their powers.

At least, I feel like I'm starting to get as fast as I did when I was alive.

I didn't expect to lose just one slime.

Slowly approaching, he also releases acid bullets.

I rose and approached this time as I swung up my sword, swinging it down before the slime tried to unleash an acid bullet, and retreated immediately.

Bitter, the sensation was conveyed in my hand, but I shouldn't be able to defeat it with one blow.

That's what I thought.

Although.

Unexpectedly, Slime didn't try to come after me for attacking him, he shook his missing body all the time on the spot, and when he paused for a moment, he collapsed sloppily as if the soul that had been there would fall out.

This is a phenomenon seen when the slime loses its life, which occurs because it loses the power to support its body but because it loses its liquid body cohesion.

I mean, this happened, which means nothing more than that slime is dead.

I was surprised at the end of the scene.

Anyway, I was a copper adventurer before, because I didn't have the strength to defeat the slime in one blow.

But this time......

I couldn't confirm it because I was desperate, but maybe I happened to be lucky and the attack hit the nucleus of the slime.

If so, this time this is a satisfactory result.

Instead, the next time I battled Slime, I tried to fight with caution, under the assumption that I still couldn't defeat him with a single blow.

... and more slime material than that.

Since the body fluids of the slime have come into contact with the ground, they are no longer of use, so the container must be plunged into the body of the slime immediately after defeating it and recovered.

Even if I try to plug something into the body of the slime when I'm alive, I get bounced back with a boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boom-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boom-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boom-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-boy-

I take the flasked container out of the tool bag and fill it with melted slime.

Slime is a dangerous demon that releases acid bullets (Acid Blitz), but its body is not surprisingly powerfully acidic, so much so that the hands of adventurers who often insert their hands into the body of the slime slip, rather it is sometimes used in cosmetics for women.

Many of the applications of clean slime bodily fluids are accounted for by their cosmetic applications due to such effects of slime bodily fluids.

It is also more expensive than normal low-level restorative water medicine (potion) applications because they are used in such a way, and women's pursuit of beauty is amazing.

Nothing. I didn't have to make cosmetics from demons......

Well, but there are many materials that can be taken from demons that have a huge impact on a person's body, and it may be rather natural to think about using them for that purpose than being said to exist even materials that are possible until immortality if we go as far as the legend.

With that in mind, I was staring at a container that was filled as I drained the spill air outside.

And I'll make sure it's full and let it out, though it was Slime's body.

...... yeah. With all this, it would be the price there.

It will cost me a few days of accommodation.

A clean slime is that little you encounter, and when you encounter it again, you make good money.

That said, it doesn't seem to make any sense to me because there are no places I can sell or lodge at right now...

No.

Sooner or later, I'm gonna be a corpse-eating ghost.

Then you should be able to go to the city, and it should be possible to sell materials.

As for the inn... well, it's a mystery if there's somewhere for me to stay, but if it's about the barn, maybe he'll lend it to me.

While I was dreaming about it, I followed the scene to hunt the next demon.
