Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

After our victory against the raptor, the 40th Floor Guardian, our next target is to defeat the 50th Floor Domain Guardian. Before that, we need to take preparations and make ourselves more stronger.

"Take this, you disgusting swine. Exploding Fist."

"Boor—"

Before the B-ranked Orc King finished its anguish yelling from the my prior strikes, its pig-faced head bursted like a watermelon as I hit it with my newly learned Level 7 Close Quarter Combat Technique.

Exploding Fist is a technique that stored massive amount of energy in the fist and released it upon hitting its target, creating a little explosion of crushed flesh.

"Eww, so disgusting. Let's check out my Sister a bit."

I complained then conjured a Waterball to washed my blood-drenched right fist. I opened my Omnidirectional Perception and discovered my sister surrounded by a dozen of C-ranked Orc Generals. But all got chopped in half my sister's single blade swipe.

"How's it going, Sis?"

I asked her immediately after I Warped myself to her location. Sister didn't flinch at my sudden appearance since she's used to it.

"Well, I'm able to gained more than usual. But the winds are becoming colder and colder."

"Yeah. We're in the beginning of winter after all."

Since seasons also exist inside the dungeon, we are now experiencing the cold winter winds like on the surface. We're currently at a forest inside 49th Floor of the dungeon. No, this floor was the forest itself.

41st to 49th Floors are called Forest Floors. Three kilometer high pitch-black walls surrounded the five kilometer radius circle. Of course, still had the barrier on it.

Although it is not as dense as the Great Forest of Darkness, it is still designated as dangerous areas. Monsters of at least Level 166 up to Level 299 lurk in these vegetated floors to prey its victims. But it's a huge source of unlimited EXP if we ask.

"Say, Raphael. Are our Levels enough to gain a safe and absolute victory against a Level 500 monster?"

"Well… I can't say safe for sure but we will be in the victor."

"Maybe we need to Level up more." she muttered as she is clenching her fists.

"Everything is not about Levels, you know? Everything cannot be defined by numbers. You just have to compete with what we have…" I paused and fixed my gaze at her. "…But the most important thing is that…" then pointed a finger at her.

"My breast?"

"Not that! The heart! Heart!"

"So that's what you meant. I thought you were blinded by your lust."

"I'm not as bad as you think!"

She provoked me with a sarcastic expression, which made her more annoying but still beautiful. Just what have you been thinking for who I am?

"Anyway, our current strength is already enough defeat the one below."

"Escaping your issues, huh."

Since we cannot guarantee our victory if we face the unknown 50th Floor Guardian, we've been killing monsters to gain experience and level up on the Forest Floors for more than a month. The dungeon is yet to conquer so we won't get resurrection after death. It's better to be safe than sorry.

"Shall we take the 50th Floor Guardian now? Our month long winter break is just around the corner. And after that, we only had a month to bond before you leave for the academy."

"Now that I think about it, we've been focusing on attempting to conquer this dungeon too much that I even forgot my upcoming departure."

"Although we spent much time inside the dungeon, not only we got stronger, we also made valuable and unforgettable memories together."

"If you say so… Well, I'll just use the winter break to spend more time with mothers, too."

Winter break is an annual month long break where we cease all our monster hunting operations. The intense drop in temperature made our movements duller that might affect our performance.

"It's decided, Raphael. We will defeat the 50th Floor Guardian after talking care of these literal beefheads."

"As Her Majesty's wish."

After we one-sidedly massacred a herd of Bicorns, I used Warp and teleported us down the 50th Floor.

◆◇◆

"Are you ready, Sis?"

"No need to ask me."

"If things so south, hold on me so I can use Warp or Portal to withdraw."

"Okay."

When things settled, we push the door and open it wide to its limit. We hold the door from closing as much as we can to inspect and analyzed the sleeping monster longer.

"What's that? A type of slime?"

"Looks like it…"

"What a stat…"

"Forget about the stats. The problem lies with its skill set. It's the annoying Infinite Regeneration and invalidations again, like that lizard. And it even have a broken Unique Skill!"

"Really?"

"Really."

Because Sister only had the Appraisal Skill, she only peek it's stats, titles and condition. But not me, who had the superior Analysis Skill from the God's Eye Blessing. I can see its skills like day.

In terms of appearance, it had a jet-black jelly-like body, like of a Black Slime. It had a indefinite and irregular shape but I could tell that this slime was several times larger than the Black Slime around five meters in diameter, but slightly smaller than the humongous pale-blue A-ranked Gluttonous Slime.

"If it's like that lizard, we already knew how to deal with it. It's even easier now that it had lower Level than the lizard."

With confidence in our words, we let go our palms off of the doors and let it automatically close.

"Look at this, Sis."

I opened my Inventory and took out a single monster's corpse. It's humanoid in shape with a size of a child and green hue on its skin. In other words…

"A goblin? What are you going to do with it?"

"Wait for it."

Shut. Thud.

Immediately after the doors shut, I threw the goblin corpse in front of the ominous slime. The slime started to move a little and fixed its gaze at the goblin. It doesn't have eyes or any body parts so I cannot distinguish most of its actions.

Suddenly, a part of the slime detached from the main body. The part then start crawling on the stone floor towards to corpse. As the part touch the lifeless body, it spreads on the corpse at high speed then slowly but grotesquely consume it. Due to its Acid Body, the corpse emits smoke and burned.

"Disgusting… and creepy. If it wasn't for the Mental Attack Resistance, I would have been messing up with this place." Sister bellyached witnessing an unpleasant scene.

The goblin disappeared as if it wasn't there before. The fragment didn't even enlarge a bit, enough though it just swallowed a whole body. As if pulled by a rubber band, the fragment flew back towards the main body and the real magic begins.

The slime gradually reduces its size until it minimize itself at three foot diameter. It changed its shape and took the form of a three foot tall humanoid. The jet-black jelly-like surface of the humanoid then altered into green skin.

In just less than a minute, the five meter wide S-ranked Abyss Slime turned into a naked meter tall F-ranked Goblin.

"That's the power of its Unique Skill."

"So it can transform into anything that it ate?"

"Biologically, yes. But don't let your guard down. Even though it transformed into a mere goblin, its stats and skills were the same as before."

"You're right."

As we are having conversation, the goblin opened its right palm to us. It suddenly shoots its jet-black fragmented gloop forward.

"Anti-Physical Barrier."

Before the gloop reached us, the immediate erect the translucent dome to protect us from the gloop. As I observed the slimy substance attached on the dome, I noticed that it's moving and alive.

"Beware of these slimes, Sis. Don't let it touch you or else you'll become its fodder."

"Of course. I won't let that filth touch my body."

After I draw the barrier, our battle begins.
