The slime was somewhat gray in appearance. The magic system it had seemed to increase it's hardness and made it hard to hit. I also have a resistance to physical attacks.
I wonder what sort of resistances this species has.
Thinking that, I take another look.
I didn't even try to kill it. I just bent down and sipped it like jelly.
The only news to me was that it improved the effectiveness of my resistance. What a shame.
It's time to go home.
On my way back, I heard a faint noise mixed in the sound of the snowstorm. I could also detect minor vibrations in the ground. From the distance, these impacts are quite intense.
After sharpening my senses, I decided to head in the direction of the sounds and vibrations.
I'm quite curious after all.
After getting near the origin, the vibrations intensified, and I could distinctly make out the sounds of a battle. Apparently, someone is fighting with something. Taking a higher level of caution I decided to approach closer. I needed to take caution in case I needed to retreat. Since I don't know what form of battle this is, if it's a battlefield between two sides, I cannot get involved, or risk having several dozens of enemies surge upon me from both sides.
With my curiosity building, I proceed down the mountain road. The snow seems to be intensifying, but I proceeded anyway.
I traveled for several minutes. Suddenly, several objects entered my [Detect Presence], four small blue points and two yellow points. Near them is one massive red point, four large silver points and one point I could not clearly identify.
It was jumbled and pretty hard to discern.
As I approached the location, there were intense sounds of mortal combat in the air. The thunderous sounds were almost as if the world was constantly under an earthquake, shaking violently.
I continued advancing until I reached a clearing on the edge of a cliff. There, the battle had been unfolding. As I had imagined, a fierce battle has been raging.
As I approached, I saw a group of six, four humans and two demi-humans. On the field were also several giants, one substantially larger than the others and had the aura of a great leader.
That said, the other beasts seemed to be normal Fomorians. Their head's are similar to that of a goat. They have fiery eyes and a stalwart upper body with a tail similar to that of a snake. Their lower body is that of a goat, wrapped in black fur. In each of their hands was a massive club-shaped rock fit for their size and use.
The Fomorians made up the silver points. It appears that the Red point was the leader of the group. I decided to call him the Giant King.
As I had said, the other party were four humans and two beast people. To briefly describe them, the first human was a blonde, blue-eyed swordsman who was quite youthful. There was a heavily armored shield warrior, a beautiful clergywoman with her hand on a Bible, and a beautiful magician chanting spells. There was also a stunning girl with an amazing bust holding a massive spear. For a moment, I was taken in by her looks. She had the ears of a cat and a long tail. The final individual of note was a beautiful girl, with two fuzzy ears and a tail, holding a massive bow.
There were only two males and four women. For the men, their odds were good and well planned. While their battle composition was also good, their choice in team members was excellent, my opinion of them was quite high.
The Swordsman and Spearwoman charge in as the vanguard while being guarded by defensive spells from the clergywoman, and the Magician covers their flanks with magical aid and recovery magic while the Archer moves throughout the battlefield giving covering fire.
The entire battle was stunning.
These humans were fully engaged with several beasts, including a unique beast that had a powerful aura.
Looking closer, the humans are forcing the giants back, though however slowly.
Their formation is incredibly advanced and had a sophisticated pattern. These people were obviously elites.
Honestly, it's not hard to admit that these individuals fight very well. On the battlefield, they hardly rely on their levels, [Arts] or their [Job], using their natural fighting abilities to fight. In particular, the movements of the Swordsman were remarkable. Among the party, his agility and bravery stood out as the leader.
