Early morning, today I wandered through the forest alone.
Going to the Unexplored Zone of my mental map, I discovered a Gray Slime (Tentative Name) that looked like a superior subspecies of green slime. The reason why its tentative name is this way was because of its gray colour, it’s size is twice that of the first Green Slime I met, the overall speed of its movement and twisting tentacles is different, and so is the digestive power of its bodily liquids as they scatter.
As soon as I fought it, I realized it was quite tough compared to Green slimes. More like, it is somewhat strange.
Finally remembering that they are the same, I attacked it with a fire-based magic but the first strike wasn’t very effective since it didn’t die, “Then how about [Pyrokinesis]?” when I tried it out while thinking of this, it died pretty easily.
From this fact, it seems like the Gray Slimes are resistant to certain fire-based magic. I picked up the gray nucleus that was rolling and placed it in my item box, then I proceeded to search for more Gray Slimes. Wonder what kind characteristics they have, further investigation is needed was what I said to myself.
After about an hour, I had roughly hunted 20 Gray Slimes.
As things turn out, I can’t use any of the magic systems against Gray Slimes effectively aside from [End].
Based on that, not only fire-based magic but Gray Slimes are resistant to magic itself, unless it’s at a certain level, anything below that would be neutralized. Also, if you add up its ability to nullify physical attacks it would work perfectly together.
The basic slime ability [Physical Damage Reduction] that can significantly reduce or nullify direct physical attacks below certain levels, and slime species are supposed to be weak against magic but these guys gained a little resistance toward it. With its decent speed and high digestive power, a normal enemy became a formidable opponent.
Though it’s weird, I wonder why they die so quickly when I use [Pyrokinesis]’ flames and [Electro Master]’s lightning.
Are they not considered magic? I’m oblivious on that subject, I couldn’t really understand the “Essential facts/ Ways of killing”, so it doesn’t really matter since I don’t care.
I took 20 pieces of the gray nucleus in the item box and ate them all at once. The candy-like nucleus is about 5cm in diameter. Though it is tasteless, it really feels like candy just by popping it into my mouth and rolling it around.
Ability [Physical Damage Resistance] learned
Ability [Self-Replication] learned
Ability [Infused Liquid Restoration] learned
It seems like the ability I got from the Gray Slime wasn’t [Physical Damage Reduction] but a superior version named [Physical Damage Resistance]. I was convinced, it looked strong.
By the way, it seems like a slime would multiply by increasing its volume to some extent and it would divide itself into two. No, I was able to understand this as soon as I learned [Self-replication].
I bit my finger and let the blood flow, soon after the blood began twisting and wriggling, I created a crimson colored mini version of me. And it seems like me and my little self are connected to each other to some degree since the ability name is [Self-Replication], I can share both my thoughts and vision with it.
I shared vision with the mini-me who I can see in my field of vision, while the original me can be seen in mini-me’s field of vision view, it was a bizarre situation.
The feeling of the skin and sense of touch may be impossible to share as expected, but it’s a good ability since it’s so convenient, even I think it’s foul play.
It’s not a kind of ability that could be demonstrated immediately, give it enough time to multiply and its usefulness would be shown. It can be used to gather intelligence or to determine the battle strength easily.
The materials seems to be my blood, though it’s easy to replenish it since I can suck blood from others.
To end it on a good note, I went hunting and ate animals such as Demon Spider, Argiope and the Triple-Horned Horse.
