Chapter 14: Boss
Chapter 14: Boss
Just a few minutes later Zolis came back around the corner looking smug. She'd already cleared the rest of the rock Slimes, it didn't even take her ten minutes.
He swapped places with her and moved into the larger cave. Of the original 20 Slimes, only 8 were left, including the two Level 7's that were both water.
She had taken out three of the Level 6s, leaving him with mud and water to fight. The four Level 5's that were left were all mud Slimes, which he disposed of first.
Once the trash mobs were out of the way, he waited a moment for the remaining four to spread out further. They were higher levels, so he was sure that they could "see" further.
He moved towards the closest, which was one of the Level 7's. He still didn't know what the water Slimes could do, so he proceeded with a bit of caution.
He made his way forward quickly, watching closely to see if any projectile would shoot his way. He made it to the Slime with no incident and slapped it with his palm.
A large portion of the water was splashed out and the Slime became slightly smaller.

The Slime still didn't attack him. Simply reached out and tried to cover him, like any of the normal Slimes. The simple attack did way more damage than it should have.
Slap after slap could be heard, it sounded like splashing water in a swimming pool.

Geth kept on hammering the creature, curious how it had even killed enough other Slimes to make it to Level 7. He soon found out.
Once its health dropped below 100 HP, the water in the area that had splashed out began to quiver. He quickly jumped back, a bit wary of what would happen next.
They started jittering harder and floated into the air. Once it looked like the droplets couldn't hold themselves together anymore, they shot towards the Slime.
:Slime; HP- 295/350:
"You have got to be shitting me!" Geth yelled out. "I have just the thing for you." He said grumpily.
He went back to slapping the water out of the Slime. This time, he watched closely as the water fell to the ground, and would create a small patch of mud to absorb the water.
The next time the creature attempted to heal, it only managed to gain 10 health and he quickly killed it. If that hadn't worked he would have just asked his wife to handle it, her damage outclassed its healing capability by a large margin.
He quickly took out the last two water Slimes and then took his time fighting the mud Slime. Finally being done with this large walkway, he decided it was time to have a peek at what was around the next corner.
While walking towards the exit, two Level 1 slimes crawled around the corner that he'd killed on his way. 'This means that wherever the Slimes are coming from is just up ahead. If there were more high-level enemies, they wouldn't have made it this far.'
He peeked around the corner, and something shoved him forward from behind. He looked back and saw a shimmering barrier had blocked his path back.
He squinted his eyes together and sighed. This could only mean one thing. Geth slowly turned around to face the room he was forced into, and what he saw proved him right.
A towering 12-foot tall gelatinous mass was sitting in the middle of a massive cavern, surrounded by 100 or so Level 1 Slimes, and 5 Level 5 Slimes. All of them were clear and hadn't obtained an element.
The room itself was enormous, the ceiling was flat and he could see a large circle of Runes ringing the area. There was a small pond to the right side, along with some moss and greenery.
The left side was bare with a raised platform.
What caught his attention the most was the large core that was in the big mass, and the information that Albus was showing him.
:Slime Lord, Level 10 (BOSS); HP 1500/1500:
"Fuck."
This was not an ideal situation. He didn't even have a chance to scout the area. 'Well, as unexpected as it is, it doesn't look like I have a choice now.' He thought while glancing back at the barrier.
"There better be some good loot!" He called out, not to anyone in particular. 'Fighting a boss in a brown skirt with no weapons. What a fucking joke.'
He had managed to make four more of those spikes during his time practicing, so he had 5 in total tucked in his waistband. Still, he hadn't thought of a proper use for them on the elemental Slimes he'd been fighting earlier.
Geth took his first step and stood fully in the room, all of the Slime's 'eyes' seemed to lock on him instantly. The familiar squelching sound ensued as the mass of creatures started slowly dragging their forms towards him. The large eye of the Lord Slime was patiently watching.
He didn't want to waste any time. Running forward, he stomped on all of the small Slimes in his path, instantly killing them. It wasn't anything impressive, being they only had 10 HP, but it was enough to boost his confidence a bit.
The closest Level 5 was his first target. With all of the mobs around he didn't have time to worry about taking damage. When he got into range, he noticed that every now and then, another Level 1 Slime would split from the Level 5's.
Each time this happened, the Slime's HP would drop by 10. These Level 5's had the most HP he'd encountered thus far, sitting at 400. 'So this is where the Slimes are coming from, the untainted Slime's ability is to create more Slimes at the cost of HP.
