13: Chapter 13: Get Shown Off? The Collapsed Slime

Buzz... buzz...

The moment Lu Yuan accepted the Demon Challenge, the entire dungeon was swallowed by darkness.

The cold white full moon slowly turned scarlet, shrouding the distant ancient castle in a layer of blood-red color.

The few underlings were all breaking down.

"Boss, you... you just accepted the challenge like that?"

The Demon Challenge,

once started, cannot be interrupted or exited.

The only possibility of surviving is to kill the Demon BOSS here.

Given their strength, clearing a difficult dungeon relied entirely on Lu Yuan.

Not to mention the Demon level.

We're dead for sure!

Lu Yuan withdrew his gaze and swept a glance over the few desperate underlings.

"Alright, stop crying."

"Won't we be able to leave once we kill that demon?"

Shanji took a deep breath and gripped his shield tightly.

"If Boss isn't afraid, what are we afraid of?"

"Cheer up! Tighten the formation and protect Boss!"

"Only if Boss can output damage safely can we defeat the demon!"

The four of them quickly tightened their formation, surrounding Lu Yuan tightly in the center, and walked toward the pitch-black corridor.

"Awoo!!!"

Suddenly,

a deafening roar came from the darkness.

Immediately after,

three heads burning with flames rushed out of the shadows.

[Three-Headed Hellhound (Elite · Lv.7)]

[HP: 2500/2500]

Shanji's expression changed.

"Level 7 elite!"

Before he could finish speaking,

Boom, boom, boom!!!

A terrifying series of explosions rang out.

The Three-Headed Hellhound's heads were blown off directly.

[Killed Three-Headed Hellhound, gained EXP +600]

Shanji: ???

Yang Liu: ???

Li Meng: ???

It was insta-killed just like that?

Why does it feel even easier than killing the small mobs in the dungeon?

Next was a straight sweep.

No matter what kind of demon creature it was, they were all instantly killed.

Thanks to the large amount of Life-type magic crystals and the protector set.

Slime could quickly recover its lost HP.

It only took over ten minutes,

and Lu Yuan brought the team to the entrance of that dark castle.

A ten-meter-high black gate stood in front of them.

Intricate demon patterns were carved on the gate, emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

Lu Yuan stopped.

Slime jumped down from his shoulder and stretched its little short arms.

'Finally, it's the BOSS!'

'King Slime can't wait anymore!'

After the previous slaughter, Shanji and the others no longer felt any fear.

They were all very arrogant.

"I'll open the door."

Shanji took the initiative to step forward and pushed open the heavy gate.

Swish, swish, swish—

In the pitch-black palace, dim candlelight flickered.

One could vaguely see in the center of the hall,

sitting on a throne built of white bones, was a slender figure.

A two-meter-tall slender body, wearing a set of silver-white light armor, with a thin, long silver sword hanging at the waist.

Under the helmet, where the eyes should be, light green light drifted out, giving people an exceptionally elegant feeling.

[BOSS · Wind Demon (Lv.10)]

[HP: 20000/20000]

[Skills: Wind Speed, Blade Storm, Flash Shadow Slash]

Wind Demon stood up and walked slowly down from the bone throne.

His movements were elegant and calm, like a noble strolling in his own garden.

But with every step he took, a terrifying pressure swept over.

Shanji's legs went soft, and he almost knelt down.

Li Meng's face was pale, and his teeth were chattering.

Yang Liu was even sitting paralyzed on the ground, trembling all over.

Too strong.

Just the aura alone made them lose the courage to fight.

Wind Demon's gaze swept over the few, and finally landed on Slime.

A playful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

"A Slime?"

"Is this the team that obtained a rating over SSS?"

"Weak, too weak."

The low voice was full of arrogance and disdain.

Slime exploded.

'Dare to look down on King Slime?!'

'Let me show you King Slime's power!'

Before it finished speaking,

it took the initiative to rush toward the BOSS.

A white afterimage flashed by.

Swish!

Wind Demon stabbed his blade into Slime's body.

The small body suddenly exploded, splitting out a piece of Slime tissue, which splashed toward Wind Demon.

Wind Demon felt the threat!

He slashed with his sword casually, shattering the Slime tissue.

Boom—!

Slime gave an evil smirk, with its two little short arms behind its back.

Looking arrogant.

After a while, the flames slowly dissipated.

Everyone was stunned in place,

"Where is the BOSS?"

Wind Demon was gone!

"Boring."

Above their heads, a cold voice suddenly came.

The BOSS was actually above their heads.

Wind Demon stood on the wind, his silver armor spotless.

'What?!'

Slime was dumbfounded.

This move, which had always worked, failed for the first time.

Wind Demon tilted his head slightly, his eyes full of mockery.

"Is that it?"

Slime's eyes turned red.

'Ah!!! I don't believe I can't blow you up!'

It rushed out again.

Getting hit, Split, Self-destruct!!

But

Wind Demon's speed was too fast.

The moment it exploded, he turned into a string of afterimages and disappeared from the spot.

Five consecutive explosions, and it didn't even touch the corner of Wind Demon's clothes.

Slime completely broke down.

'Ahhhh, if you have the guts, don't dodge!!!'

'Fight King Slime head-on!!!'

Shanji carried his shield and walked slowly toward the front.

"King Slime, don't be anxious."

"Let me block him, and you look for an opportunity to output damage."

As he finished speaking,

the shield bloomed with brilliant golden light.

Wind Demon suddenly moved.

With a flash of his figure, he appeared directly in front of Shanji.

Boom!!!

With a light blow, Shanji and his shield were sent flying directly, smashing heavily against the wall.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Shanji's face was pale, his aura withered.

He couldn't even stand up anymore.

"Shanji!"

Li Meng frantically cast Heal.

Wind Demon sneered, ignored the other few pieces of trash, and locked his gaze on Slime.

"You, this blood bag, are the strongest in this team?"

As he finished speaking,

the Demon BOSS's figure became blurry bit by bit, finally turning into a breeze.

Swish, swish, swish—

The silver-white long sword stabbed into Slime's body one after another.

Boom! Boom! Boom!!!

The explosions were continuous, and the entire hall was shaking.

But Wind Demon was like a breeze, moving freely through the gaps of the explosions.

From beginning to end, he was not hit by a single explosion.

"The game is over."

Wind Demon revealed an elegant smile.

In Slime's small bean eyes, arrogance and confidence had long since disappeared without a trace, leaving only fear.

'Ma, Master...'

'Wuwuwu, what do we do?'

'Master, I'm so scared...'

'I don't want to die... wuwuwu...'

It scrambled back to Lu Yuan's side, hugged Lu Yuan's calf, and cried its eyes out.

Lu Yuan gently patted Slime's head.

"There is an old saying in my hometown."

"All fear stems from a lack of firepower."

Slime was stunned, whispering this sentence to itself.

"All fear... stems from a lack of firepower..."

"All fear stems from a lack of firepower..."

It repeated this sentence over and over again.

The fear in its small eyes gradually disappeared.

Replaced by a kind of unprecedented light.

That was desire.

A desire for greater power.

"Lack of firepower... then strengthen the firepower!"

"I need stronger firepower..."

"I want to become stronger..."

Slime's body suddenly rippled with red waves.

Those ripples pulsated like a heartbeat.

With every pulsation, a warm aura surged out from within its body.
