'Elite grade pillow slime killed. Gained pillow slime core, red and blue pillow, bounce(elite) skill book and pillow slime soul' the system notified Dean. Dean registered the slime core, the elite bounce skill book and the pillow slime soul. Unfortunately, he did not get what he wanted the most, the water absorbs skill book.
'Bounce level up to 2' the system notified Dean. Dean was happy with the level up. He knew it was easy to level up the skill when fighting something stronger than skill so he did not feel surprised about it.
Dean finished what he should finished and looked for another elite grade pillow slime. He decided to hunt and upgrade the pillow slime to legend grade. He went around searching the pillow slime and killed them one by one.
Some of them ran way and some of them were killed by Dean. At the beginning of the hunt, he had a hard time killing the pillow slime because he was not used to using his skill to fight monster. Once he got used to using his skill and used to the pillow slime habit, the hunting went easier and easier.
It was evening and he successfully killed about 40 of elite grade slime pillow. He got the water absorbs skill book and a lot of it. He stopped for the day and went back to his room. Before he went back to his room, just like usual, he bought some dinner.
Once he done everything he was supposed to, he sat on his bed and took out the elite grade slime core he got earlier that day to absorb his first ever elite grade data.
One data from elite grade monster core from the first dimension can increased a stat by 0.3. Each data will take 10 minutes to absorbs. The elite grade pillow slime core that Dean obtained contained full 10 data thanks to his advantage of being its creator. With 10 data, that meant he needed 100 minutes or 1 hour 40 minutes to absorb all of the data.
Dean sat cross legged and put the core in front of him. "Absorb" said Dean. The data from the slime core bit by bit entered Dean's body. The process went on for 100 minutes.
One hour and forty minutes later, Dean successfully absorbed all the data. He chose to use all the data to increase his agility. Dean's agility increased from 3.7 to 6.7. A huge increase.
There was a reason why he chose to increase his agility first. It was because he wanted to chase all the slime that tried to get away from him. Elite grade monster was not as common as normal grade monster, so losing them will be a big lost.
Since Dean can easily wasted the monster soul he got, he used the elite grade pillow slime soul to increased his strength from 3.7 to 6.7 without much reservations.
After he finished everything, Dean went to sleep. The next three days, Dean kept hunting the elite grade pillow slime. Thanks to his increased in strength and agility, Dean hunting of the pillow slime became easier.
He simply rushed towards the slime with his high speed and killed the slime in three hits. That was his current routine in killing the elite grade pillow slime.
He collected enough elite grade pillow slime core and soul. He upgraded the pillow slime from elite grade to legend grade. Dean can also upgrade the colorful slime to legend grade but he decided not to. He wanted to keep them at that grade.
Thanks to his constant used of his bounce skill, Dean's bounce skill increased from level 2 to level 9. One more level and Dean can use the limit breaker crystal to upgrade the skill to elite grade.
Dean did not yet learn the water absorb skill. He wanted to get the heavy tackle skill from the kilo slime first and then trained both of the skill at the same time.
Summer 13th – Month 1 – Year 2001
Dean decided to stop hunting the pillow slime and went for kilo slime. There was a reason why Dean started hunting the pillow slime first.
He read online that the kilo slime was the strongest slime they ever fought. The big body can be quite deceiving. At the beginning, they thought that the kilo slime will be slow with its size three times bigger than the normal slime. However, they were proven wrong went it started moving at the same speed as normal slime.
Its bounce skill helped increasing its speed and the heavy tackle caused a lot of damage. Few people died from the attack and most were heavily injured during their first time fighting the kilo slime. The kilo slime was a formidable foe for people at elite grade.
News about the legend grade pillow slime appearing flooded the forum and news. The first ever legend grade slime. Some people at legend grade tried fighting the new legend grade pillow slime. It was not as strong as they thought.
However, the pillow slime was smarter and catching them was difficult because they kept cleverly using their bounce. Due to the pillow slime living in the prairie and far from much water sources, people did not get the taste of their water absorb skill.
Even Dean never fought a pillow slime with the water absorb skill being activated because there was no water. The legend grade pillow slime was mostly found near a river.
A human tried to fight the pillow slime and he was killed by the pillow slime after it absorb many waters. Water absorb increased the pillow slime strength the more it absorbed water. It had their limit but even before reaching the limit, the slime was already powerful.
The news of the man killed by the pillow slime made into the internet. It caused an uproar after they found out about the water absorb skill.
Their first impression of the legend grade pillow slime being weak were shattered completely with the newfound information about the new skill. After that, anyone who want to fight the pillow slime chose the one further from any water afraid of the power up.
The kilo slime being the strongest slime were pushed below the pillow slime. Pillow slime after absorbing water were crowned the new strongest slime.
As for the news about the rubber slime and rabbit coat slime? There were none. If there was no news about them, Dean will hunt some other monster and create new slime. He can already create new slime with the combinations of the slime core with water absorb skill.
He wanted to create the new slime once he finished hunting the kilo slime.
After he got his breakfast, he went to the prairie and searched the elite grade pillow slime. Dean walked for a few minutes and found the kilo slime. The kilo slime was with a group of other colorful slime.
The colorful slime all were elite grades. With his current strength, there was no way he can fight all of them. So, Dean left the kilo slime with their group alone. He went to search for a single kilo slime. Most of the one he found were in a group so Dean took quite a lot of time until he found a single kilo slime.
When he looked how big the kilo slime was, he did felt fear. He read that a lot of people got injured from fighting the kilo slime. They were not the most dangerous monster but the kilo slime was still a strong monster.
Dean used elite grade pillow slime soul to his armor to increase the armor endurance. Pillow slime soul can increase vitality and endurance for 3 minutes thus, using it to increase his armor endurance won't destroyed the soul. That meant he won't lose the soul. After some time, the soul can be used again.
Dean used normal grade slime soul to increase his dagger strength and his shoes agility. He prepared a lot before he fought the kilo slime.
"Fuu~ I am nervous" said Dean.
'Is not it better if you learn the water absorb first?' said Sys. Sys thought it was better if he learned new skill before he fought the kilo slime. The kilo slime was quite a scary monster.
"Let's do it" said Dean. Dean used bounced and rushed to the kilo slime. He got behind the kilo slime, however the kilo slime seemed to predict that Dean will attack him.
The kilo slime turned behind once Dean appeared behind him immediately. The kilo slime with its happy-go-lucky smile instantly used heavy tackle and counter tackle Dean. The heavy tackle hit Dean. Dean failed to evade the attack.
"Buhakk!!!" Dean was sent flying a few meters back. He was rolling on the ground for a while before stopping. Dean was coughing blood and he broke some of his bones. Dean was deeply panting. He was in pain from the attack.
Dean never got hurt that much. Thanks to his high agility, he got hurt more than it should. Luckily, he already prepared some potions. He quickly drank one potion and healed some of his injury.
He cannot relax. The kilo slime was coming towards him. After he drank the potion, he quickly stood and retreat a bit before rushing back towards the kilo slime.
This time, he did not try to attack from behind because he feared the kilo slime will counter attack him like before.
He threw on of his dagger. The kilo slime easily evaded the dagger and bounce forward to Dean. Dean also used his bounce and went towards the incoming kilo slime.
Dean did not bounce straight towards the kilo slime but slightly to its right. Dean readied his dagger to slash the kilo slime while also evading its rushed.
The kilo slime used heavy tackle while it bounced towards Dean. Both of them was in front of each other. The kilo slime bounce + heavy tackle missed thanks to Dean not going straight to the kilo slime.
Dean on the other hand slashed the kilo slime with his dagger. His slashed hit the kilo slime and injured it. The kilo slime rolled on the ground and endured the pained from Dean's slash. Its face changed from happy-go-lucky smile to anger.
The kilo slime never expected that he will get injured. It can somehow gauged Dean's power and expected that Dean was a small fry. He looked down on Dean too much and lowered its guard. The kilo slime used the same combo of bounce and heavy tackle again and went towards Dean.
Dean saw the same attack patterned and he smiled. "The kilo slime is simpler minded than I thought," thought Dean. He also did the same thing as before and again slashed the kilo slime.
With Dean current strength, he cannot fight the kilo slime head to head. The kilo slime was much stronger than him. In order to defeat the kilo slime, Dean needed to shave the kilo slime vitality bit by bit with this method.
Due to the kilo slime raged, its attack became simpler and slower. Dean patiently injured the kilo slime bit by bit until the kilo slime died.
The fight went on for about 40 minutes before the kilo slime got tired losing most of its speed. Between the kilo slime and Dean, the kilo slime moved much more than Dean. Dean was tired too but he did not move as much as the kilo slime thus he was not as tired as the kilo slime.
The injury he caused on the kilo slime also contributed to it getting tired first. The kilo slime stopped moving. Dean quickly went to the kilo slime and dealt the finishing blow.
'Elite grade Kilo slime killed. Obtained Elite grade kilo slime core, soul, large blue pillow, bounce skill book and heavy slam skill book' the system notified.
Dean did not register the kilo slime soul but instead he used it to increased his endurance from 3.7 to 6.7.
