Chapter 362 - King Slime
The golden soul slime that Adrian saw earlier was none other than the King Slime that is before him. Adrian is now prepared for combat, but he realized he has no weapon to use.
[Casting spells without a weapon will only deal 50% of the total damage of that spell.]
[Spells will have double the cast time if used without a weapon to channel into.]
Adrian is stumped but it is acceptable. Casting without weapons is doable but it would take more effort for half the original damage. This mechanic is why some magic classes could still use magic despite becoming unarmed or their weapon breaking.
“Greater Seal!” Adrian shouted as a magic circle appeared beneath the King Slime. 𝘪𝘳.𝒸𝑜𝑚
Numerous chains bound the King Slime trying to pull it below, but it did not seem bothered. Due to having no weapon that can form an immediate soul link, the King Slime is not easily sealed despite being sixty levels below Adrian. The chains broke and the King Slime became agitated because of the tapering of its soul.
Monsters that break the sealing magic would become more agitated due to the magic touching their very essence which is their souls. It is like being pricked by a needle over and over or hearing the sound of nails scratching a blackboard.
The King Slime moved its body up and down which produced smaller version of itself. The small versions of the King Slime then crawled towards Adrian. Adrian then noticed that the trail that the small versions of the king slime left is filled with corrosive poison that even melted the floor.
Adrian did not let those small versions of the King Slime come near him, so he used Quantum Repulsion. The small versions of the King Slime are sent flying towards the cave walls which immediately killed them. Though the smaller versions of the King Slime are eliminated, their golden goop went crawling back to the King Slime.
The King Slime who became lesser in volume regained some of its size when the golden goop is absorbed in its body. The health it lost also recovered when it absorbed its golden goop. Adrian did not stop there as he covered the area with Quantum Spacemines.
“Thank goodness it is not agile or else my spells will not hit it easily.” Adrian commented as he hurled an occasional man orb at it to slowly whittle the King Slimes health away.
“Greater Seal!” Adrian cast once more to try his luck as he managed to bring the King Slime down to half health.
A magic circle once again appeared below the King Slime and chains once gain bound it. The King Slime however seemed to become somewhat immune to the Greater Sealing Spell. The King Slime emitted a golden glow, and the Greater Seal spell is dispelled.
[The King Slime used its Ruler’s Authority. All slimes inside the den will now be controlled by it.]
[All magic spells will have a chance of being dispelled when cast near the presence of a King.]
“This just got really complicated. I only have one more chance left to seal the King Slime. If I fail once more, I can only hope that it drops its Soul Stone.” Adrian uttered as he saw the other slimes that were devouring each other flood towards the room he is in.
“Vortex!” Adrian cast as the room started to become smaller due to the flooding slimes.
A small star is created in Adrian’s palm and it started to ascend much slower than it usually would. The small star finally ascended to its utmost height, but Adrian’s feet is already being invaded by the slimes.
[You are receiving damage from the corrosive poison of slimes.]
[You will lose 0.5% of your health per five seconds.]
Adrian snapped his fingers and a loud explosion resulting in a black hole opened up above him. The black hole sucked in all the slimes in the room that did not have a strong grip. Even the King Slime is sucked inside the black hole.
Adrian is amazed due to the number of slimes that are sucked in. He received multiple system notifications that he killed a slime. It seems that low level slimes died easily in just one second inside the black hole. Adrian then dreaded the decision he made because of a certain system notification.
[You have killed the King Slime.]
Adrian knelt in defeat because he has a low chance in getting a soul stone. Even if his luck stat that can affect the chances of rarer items dropping, it was still not a hundred percent certain that a soul stone will drop. The vortex ended and a ton of items came out of it.
Adrian scoured the items as 90% of it is worthless and he finally found a golden colored soul stone. He jumped for joy as he did not expect an item like that to appear, but his joy soon turned into sorrow once he appraised the item.
[You have picked up Random Slime Soul Stone.]
Item: Random Slime Soul Stone
Tier: Epic
Type: Soul Stone (Summoner only item)

[You have picked up Royal Slime Jelly.]
Item: Royal Slime Jelly

Eve women love this jelly as it is said to make one’s skin glow upon being applied like a lotion. Royalty will buy this at exceedingly high prices.
“The effect is unknown maybe due to the fact that I am still underage. Should I sell this? I will probably get a good amount of money if I sell it.” Adrian thought to himself but then he heard an explosion in the opposite room.
