Chapter 58 Slime Companion
Again, Erend was saved because of [Dragon Scale] so Shellob's fangs just stopped on his hard skin.
Erend really can't move his arms and legs. But his face was still free so his mouth was also free.
[ Skill activated: Fire Breath (Lv.1) ]
'BWOOOSH!!!'
Erend spit fire from his mouth. The fire instantly burned Shellob's body. The Giant Spider let out a loud sound that sounded just as disturbing as before.
"KHHHIIIIEEEKHHH!!!"
Shellob immediately jumped again to get away from Erend.
Erend immediately fell because he couldn't keep his balance with his web-bound legs.
"Fuck! This damn web!" Erend cursed because he was having a hard time breaking away from this web.
[ "You have a new Slime friend. You remember?" ]
When Tut's voice rang in his head, Erend suddenly seemed to wake up from a nightmare.
The Slime was actually quite strong because Erend had fought it head-on.
Erend's eyes glanced at Shellob. The black giant spider was still moving wildly with its back burning in flames.
But Erend remembered that he was spitting fire on other parts of its body as well. But now almost all of the flames on its body had disappeared.
Shellob has some kind of ability to put out his fire. In addition, it also can heal itself. Erend thought it would be quite troublesome.
In a moment, it seemed Shellob had been able to put out the fire on its back. He must be fast!
"How do I call my Slime?" Erend asked.
[ "As usual." ]
"Through my mind?"
[ "Yes." ]
As soon as he heard the confirmation from Tut, Erend didn't waste any time and immediately summoned the Slime through his mind.
'Slime! come!'
Shellob had finished putting out the flames all over its body. The burns left on its body healed on their own quickly. Now the giant spider turned towards Erend.
Then its slender, hairy legs moved in movements that were very disturbing in Erend's eyes who were already hating the spider.
The sound of rustling dry leaves over Shellob's feet. Erend also seemed to be able to see the anger in his eight pitch black eyes like a bottomless abyss.
'Well, of course, it's angry!' Erend thought. 'I just burned it.'
Erend suddenly saw Shellob open its fangs then a dark green liquid appeared there.
'Oh shit!' This can't be good!' Erend widened his eyes.
Even though [Dragon Scale] was still active, he didn't know what attack Shellob would launch. Coupled with his fear of spiders, all of that accumulated makes Erend's brain unable to think optimally.
"SLIME!" Erend shouted.
Not long after that, Slime came to fulfill his call. The pink slime appeared in front of Erend then enlarged and formed a wall.
Shellob spits out his green liquid. However, with the Slime forming a wall in front of him, the liquid couldn't reach Erend.
The liquid hit the Slime and then it was absorbed into its body. After that, the Slime returned to its pink lump form.
"Free me from this web!" Erend gave the order.
The Slime instantly split itself into two. One of them went to Shellob to distract it. The other one goes towards Erend to free him from Shellob's web.
The Slime that was heading toward Erend instantly enlarged and enveloped Erend's entire body. Erend was surprised but he just kept quiet and let the Slime do its job.
A few seconds later the Slime had shrunk back and the entire web on Erend's body had disappeared.
"Good job, Slime!" Erend said in a delighted tone.
Erend stood up again and was ready to fight. But when he looked at Shellob, Slime seemed to be handling it well.
Shellob moves swiftly and attacks with its many legs at once. Now even on its feet, there were sharp black blades.
Shellob attacks the Slime but its attacks only enter the Slime's supple body.
The Slime didn't seem to be trying to dodge either, instead deliberately letting Shellob's legs enter its body. When its legs entered Shellob's body, the legs stay there.
Then the Slime created some kind of sharp blade from its body. There were five sharp blades.
Then the Slime stabbed the sharp blades into Shellob's body.
"KHHHIIIIEEEKHHH!!!"
Shellob let out a loud sound like it used to when it received a wound. After that, it tried to escape but its legs were still trapped inside the slime's body.
"Wow," Erend turned to the Slime who was next to him. "You're so amazing, huh!"
[ "Yes." ] Slime replied. The Slime here and the Slime fighting Shellob were the same entity.
"In that case, I don't need to join the fight." Erend chuckled.
If only he remembered that he had a Slime companion in the previous battle against the Daemon of Calamity, that battle would have been easier.
Slime seemed to be able to defeat Shellob the giant spider alone. All of Shellob's attacks can't affect it. But Slime can land various kinds of attacks on Shellob.
Shellob spits out the green liquid. The Slime was silent and did not dodge.
The green liquid hit it but then the Slime absorbed the green liquid without any residue into its body.
Erend nodded while making an expression that seemed to say, 'Hmm, not bad.'
"You can absorb all kinds of attacks?" Erend asked the Slime who was watching with him.
[ "Not fire. Not too strong an attack." ] Slime replied.
"Ah, so that's why I was able to beat you then, huh?" Erend said.
The Slime makes a motion that resembles a nod. Erend thought it was quite adorable.
Erend continues to watch Shellob's fight against the Slimes. The slime didn't look like it was struggling at all.
One thing that makes Erend find it difficult is the sticky web released by Shellob. This made it difficult for him to move.
But Slime could absorb the web without any problems. Thus, he was completely unaffected by the effects of the web.
Shellob once again fired his green liquid, which was again absorbed by the Slime. After that, the Slime changes its color to green.
