Master Of None

Chapter 604 - 604. Ambushed

Walker had followed the sound and raised his head upwards to the ceiling of the cave. What he saw was a terrifying answer to how the slimes had been getting past the water and not diluting their bodies. "The slimes are on the ceileing. Gil at the ready!" Walker knew that the slimes could drop down at any point and was readying an attack himself.Â

Gil reacted as fast as possible but the slimes had already noticed the metal that the group wore. Not to mention the metal that the fire fighter dwarves and king had which were much more than the party members. "Ambush! Die!" The king swung his pickaxes and tore two medium slimes falling from the ceiling in two. The cores couldn't even be said to exist any longer.

Gil was the fastest as he drew and fired an arrow directly upwards. He had grabbed one of the basic potion filled arrows in his rush. The arrow pierced through the large slime and sat inside its body. When the slime was about to land on the fire fighting dwarf next to Gil the acid ate through the wither spike arrow the basic position was fully released.Â

The slime instantly fell apart as the core it had desperately protected was dissolved and turned in to salt water while the rest of the body broke apart and diluted in the still water around them. There were many other small slimes that were trying to fall down but continued to find obstacles in Gil's arrows and the kings' pick axes.Â

Walker was using the still water to create spikes of ice that the slime continuously threw themselves in to while trying to get to the metals on the dwarves. "Walker, can you freeze my hands in to spiky ice gauntlets?" Remey was tired of not fighting and had a brilliant idea.Â

"It will be cold and your gloves will be wet but yes, brace yourself." Walker did as he was asked without another thought. The water moved from around them and latched on to Remeys' hands.Â

She let out a sharp breath as the water froze making her fists in to icy points. "Finally, I can punch these stupid slimes!" Remey had not wanted to use the concentrated basic potions since they would be more valuable when facing the tougher slime they expect to be in the silver mine.Â

Remey punched out and her fists pierced any slime that approached the fire fighting dwarves, "How dare you try and defeat my basic potion fire fighting dwarf friends!" Remey was blowing off a large amount of pent up annoyance since she had been holding back due to the acidic slime dangers.Â

Walker wanted to make more ice spikes to protect everyone but by the time he raised a hand to do so there was only silence in the area. "Where are they? Shouldn't there be more?" Remey was still energized and ready to fight.

"Now I think I am beginning to like your ice. That was a very interesting use. I have seen some ice gauntlets before but none like those." The king was examining Remeys' hands with great interest.

"You've seen ice gauntlets?" Gil was the first to speak up after the battle and seeing the situation.Â

"Yes, we had a frost forger once upon a time. He left the caves to journey to the dragon villages where there are longer winters with better materials for him. It was a very unique system." The king had remembered this well since he and the other kings made note of every rare or different system.Â

"Well, that sounds pretty different for a system. Instead of forging metal, they forged ice. I know a certain wandering blacksmith that would fin that very interesting. But on another note. We should make our way to the min. While keeping an eye o the ceilings." Walker was scanning the ceilings constantly. The cave roof could hold more ambushes.Â

"I believe you about something controlling the slimes now. The actions were already too intelligent. But I wanted to believe it was a new species and that was why. However, no slime is smart enough to use the ceilings to avoid water." The king was furious and charged towards the cave which appeared to have no other slimes near it at the moment.Â

Walker was not going to let the king get too far ahead and rushed as well with Midnight and Gil on his heels. Remey had checked with the fire fighters to make sure they were safe and also noticed that Midnight had appeared from the shadow wrapping skill. It made her smile slightly that Midnight would disappear for moments at a time to defend their backs. The ambush was the ideal time for her to use the skill.Â

"We need to make sure everyone is prepared. We were just ambushed and Gil should prepare his arrows, Remey should check the basic potions, Midnight will use her skills to hide in the shadows, and I should prepare myself with a lava fissure so I can use the lava lances." Walker managed to reason the king in to halting his movements.Â

"You have a buff skill as well. I want that so I can continue the destruction of the slimes.m" The king had not forgotten Walker using his biff skill.Â

"I saw you use a buff skill too right?' Walker had been curious about the details the entire time as well. The king had shouted and buffed the dwarves around him.

"Yes, as the king of the deep caves I can use an echoing shout to push my miners in to their best state. Their forge fires will burn and they will crush any stones in the way of their goals." The king acted like this was the only natural explanation to his buff skill which confused Walker since he had hope for more specific information.Â
