Volume 2 Chapter 26 Clone Versus Boss Level Monster Part 14
Clone 4: But if we let the slime go out of the earth dome it will attack us. Even if the damage of a single slime is not gonna damage us too much it will still be annoying
Clone 2: That's the problem and due to us not having any taming skills, I don't know what to do
Clone 2 tone has a wandering sound at the end of the words.
Clone 4: There is a very simple solution to your problem y'know
Clone 2: So mind telling me you're a very simple solution
Clone 4: Ahh just kill the slime and then we can leave, simple right?
Clone 2 was stunned to hear Clone 4 solution and it was very simple indeed. But someone was obviously not happy when hearing Clone 4 simple solution.
Clone 1: Noooo... You promise me that I can keep one
Clone 1 sudden outburst surprised everyone. But Clone 2 was not surprised so much due to knowing Clone 1 traits and also how she approached every situation. First Clone 1 throw a tantrum when Clone 1 was interrupted and to pacify Clone 1 so Clone 2 has to agree to Clone 1 request to having a pet slime to save time. So now that Clone 1 pet slime was ready but due to anyone of them not having a taming skill no one can tame the slime. So Clone 2 was having trouble on how to handle the situation.
Clone 2: Can you please not throw a tantrum
Clone 1: But you guys are planning to Kill the slime
Clone 2: But we can't tame the slime
Clone 1: But you promised
Clone 2: Can we postpone my promise until we have a taming skill
Clone 1: Hmmp, Fine
Clone 1 act like she was dissatisfied but she knew that their is nothing she could do, it's not that her fault that they don't have the skill to tame monsters. After hearing Clone 1 agree clone 2 heaves a sigh of relief due to Clone 1 agreeing. Clone 4 killed the slime as soon she heard Clone 1. After seeing the slime died Clone 2 order the rest of the Clone 2 go back at where Alice was laying down. But when they reach the edge of the grass plains, Clone 1 was about to cross the edge of the grass plains and enter the forest where they come from. But suddenly an invisible barrier stops Clone 1 from leaving the grass plains. Due to Clone 1 running directly to the barrier Clone 1 receives some damage and the collision create a loud sound that alarmed the other Clones.
*BANG*
Clone 4: What happen?
Clone 2: You ok first?
Clone 1: Ughh I'm mostly fine I was just dizzy and I took some damage but it already regenerate
After hearing that Clone 1 was fine Clone 2 started to investigate the barrier stopping them. Clone 2 put her hands on the barrier she then starts to feel the surface of the barrier with her hands. But even after a few minutes she did not sense anything so Clone 2 was confused.
Clone 2: Strange why I can't sense anything
After hearing the mumbling of Clone 2, Clone 4 decide to take action. Clone 4 then punch the barrier.
*Booom*
Then from the center of the Clone 4 punch, a ripple appears and like a stone thrown in the water a ripple is like a wave. The ripple did not stop until they can't see.
Clone 4: So we can't leave until we solve the one responsible for this barrier
Clone 2: yeah but why there is a barrier here in the first place
While Clone 2 and Clone 4 be contemplating why there is a barrier stopping them. Clone 1 suddenly speak up.
Clone 1: Perhaps there is only a barrier in front of us why not we check the other location
Clone 2: That's a nice suggestion Clone 3 and Clone 5 can you investigate
Both Clone 3 and Clone 5 nod as an answer.
Clone 2: Clone 3 will go to the left and Clone 5 will go to the right. Come back here right away until you can't see us we can't risk us being split
After that Clone 3 and Clone 5 run in their assigned direction.
Clone 4: So we wait here huh
Clone 2: Yes, and before you guys arrive was the barrier already here?
Clone 4: No there is no barrier here when we arrive
Clone 2: So it means the barrier was not here until we killed all of the slime
Clone 1: So if we keep the one slime and bring it with us this barrier will not be here
Clone 2: Yes but we did not know that a barrier will be set up
Clone 4: So what do you think is the reason why there is a barrier here
Clone 1: Dunno why do you think I know
Clone 4: No reason
While they were talking they suddenly feel a sudden spike of mana in the center of the grass plains where are the former location where the slimes at.
Clone 2: Did you both feel the sudden spike of mana?
Clone 4: Yea that amount of mana being released is hard not to notice
Clone 1 just keep nodding in response to Clone 2 question.
Clone 4: What do you think is the cause of that
Clone 2: I don't know but maybe it was the cause of the barrier blocking us from leaving
While Clone 2 and Clone 4 were talking Clone 1 was looking in the direction of where they felt the sudden spike of mana
Clone 1: Look there something
Clone 4: Where
Clone 1: There
Clone 1 point at the middle of the grass plain now there is a small dot that can be seen.
Clone 2: Woah whatever that is must be large to be seen here
Clone 4: Shall we take a look
Clone 2: No let's wait for Clone 3 and Clone 5 to come back
