Undying Warlord

Chapter 123 Poison Mist Slime



A Silver Essence crystal was embedded in the Slime’s core.

This attracted Dilan’s interest, but his eyes were glued to the poisonous bluish fog that the slime had released.

It was filled with mana and enriched the surrounding area with it.

The additional mana was great, but the poison would have killed Dilan had he not possessed the [Immunity] ability.

He would have died without even noticing it.

Just thinking about it was frightening enough for him to shiver involuntarily.

But Dilan calmed down pretty quickly, which was why he approached the slime.

Its poison couldn’t hurt him. Thus, the monster was entirely harmless to Dilan. Even after touching its slimy body, he didn’t feel much.

The only issue was that he had to take off the Clawed Gloves because they began to decay the moment he touched the slime with it.

“It cannot even move properly while devouring the tin can…”

Dilan kept staring at the slime, but instead of showing any mercy on the somewhat intriguing slime, he reached for it with his hand once his interest was sated.

Tightly grasping the slime’s core he crushed it in his hand before absorbing the Slime’s Silver Essence crystal at once.-.

‘Poison Mist Slime it is?’

After the slime was killed, its liquid body was not held together anymore.

The liquid spilled over the shelf before trickling to the ground. Upon touching the liquid, Dilan figured that it was still corrosive, even though the potency was weaker than before.

‘Should I take its liquid with me?’

Poison could be quite useful to fight stronger opponents with weak resistance to it.

As such, he considered saving it for himself or the others to make use of in tricky situations.

Dilan got hold of a few bottles that he emptied before filling them with the slime’s core liquid.

The shelves and the floor hadn’t been corroded before. Thus, Dilan had been quite certain that the bottles he got hold of wouldn’t corrode either.

It was exactly as he had expected, making things much easier for him as he stored the liquid before carrying the bottles to the entrance of the supermarket.

Following that, Dilan’s mind began to rattle on how to utilize the poisonous liquid.

‘Should I smear it on the Clawed Gloves before fighting the Death Beatles gang?’

The Clawed Gloves wouldn’t corrode if they came in contact with the weakened poisonous liquid.

It would only hurt the living, which was why Dilan was pretty sure that its use was enormous, whether it was for him or his people.

The use of the poisonous liquid was endless, and Dilan grew excited, knowing that the weak Ascenders in his group could grow and excel at killing monsters rapidly as long as they used the liquid properly.

Understanding the tremendous value the supermarket held, Dilan started his search for more Poison Mist Slimes.

His hopes to find more increased and he began to inspect the surroundings carefully. His efforts bore fruit, and only five minutes later he found the next batch of Slimes in the deeper parts of the supermarket.

He was just on the first floor for now, but could already see a batch of more than ten Slimes, who were huddled next to one another.

“3 Silver, 5 Bronze, and only 2 Ordinary Slimes?” Dilan was slightly astonished about the high grade the Slimes had.

There were more highly mutated Slimes than ordinary ones!

This was quite astonishing, which was why Dilan killed only a few of each type.

He wanted to figure out what types of Slimes were present, and how to appraise them as early as possible.

“The ordinary ones don’t seem to have any unique development path. They’re just on a different level, nothing else. Only the Bronze Slimes show signs of generating mana in the form of a mist.

The mist of Bronze Slimes is not poisonous, and they don’t have the label ‘poison’ in their name as well.

On the other hand, there are different types of ‘Mist’ Slimes, with only one of them being poison!”

For Dilan, it was much easier to digest every single piece of information when he was speaking to himself.

He was not sure why that was the case, but his brain worked much better that way which is why he continued to mumble.

“Mana fog slime…the mana purity it creates is quite high, and there is no poison in the mist as well!”

The more time he spent in the supermarket, the more ideas he got about the Slimes. He didn’t kill more Slimes than necessary.

Instead, he started to research them in order to figure out something.

‘Should I bring a few Mana Fog Slimes to the hospital? Letting them come in contact with the body is harmful, but that is the only pain and danger that radiates from the Mana Fog Slimes. If Kathrine and the others can learn to control their mana within the mist efficiently, their strength would increase by leaps and bounds!!’

Dilan was quite excited at the thought.

Thus, he kept searching for all the slimes in the surrounding area.

The only hope he had was to find a permanent Gate in an area with Slimes. That way, he could easily accumulate Essences as well.

After all, Slimes seemed to be quite fast at mutating, and evolving. They were even faster than zombies in doing so. As such, a permanent Gate would be a jackpot for him and his people.

Unfortunately, there was not even a temporary Gate in the supermarket.

The slimes should have emerged from a Gate because there was no other way for them to inside the supermarket. That was something Dilan could tell for sure.

But it looked like his hope to gain numerous Essences, and to help his people become Tier-1 existences in the next few days was shattered in the following two hours.

He was dead-tired but kept searching through all the three floors of the huge supermarket.

Yet, other than extremely slow and almost immobile slimes, he didn’t find anything.

There were also some huge slimes Dilan didn’t dare to approach. Similarly, there were areas of the supermarket that were way too dangerous for Dilan.

Now that he knew that the entire supermarket was filled with a poisonous mist, he became more careful.

And the moment his skin began to itch, he would distance himself from that specific area.

Those areas were mostly occupied by numerous slimes, including those Slimes he presumed to be Tier-1 existences that had evolved from the Silver monsters, Poison Mist Slime!

He would have loved to kill a Silver Tier-1 monster, even more so to exchange it with a Tier-1 treasure from the huge permanent Gate in the Krendel’s Underground Valley.

However, Dilan knew that his abilities and stats were too low to overcome the dangers of the high potency of the poison fog on the highest floor!

But even then, Dilan was unable to feel frustrated. After all, there were at least 500 rather small, football-sized Slimes on the first two floors of the supermarket.

Almost 80 of them were ordinary Tier-1 Slimes, 160 were Tierless Silver Slimes, and 200 were Tierless Bronze Slimes.

Only a small bunch of ordinary Tierless Slimes were left behind.

Dilan had never seen such a huge number of high-graded monsters of the same race at once.

The ordinary Tier-1 slimes were almost enough to fill his progression bar and allow him to become a Tier-1 existence.

That was also the reason for him to kill those that were not useful for the plans he had in mind.

There were also some poisonous ordinary Tier-1 slimes, which he killed as well.

However, his focus was on the Tierless Silver slimes because the Poison mist Slimes were simply too useful, be it their liquid mass or their Essence crystal.

Dilan was the only one, who was able to be close to the poisonous slimes due to his innate ability.

Thus, he killed all of them before devouring their Essence crystal.

He thought of giving the others the remaining Silver Essence crystals, but then they would only receive a third of the entire Essence.

That was why he thought that it might be better to do something else with the Silver Essence crystals which was to procure more Silver treasures!
