16 Chapter 13: Slimes should be Cute and Adorable Creatures! (2/2)

For now, I gained a leniency to think as a result of gaining the upper hand with the first strike. Well, technically not. But this will do. For now, I know it can't do anything that may really make things get dicey.

Grand Slime: ”It seems like Purin cannot attack thee with normal means. Earth Prison. Lightning Cage.”

A wall of hardened earth sprung forth from the ground and swallowed me from all direction, making a dome. Then I felt the same numbing sensation that I got used to feeling when I was dealing with the slimes earlier.

It's okay. These magic skills are still within the capabilities of my Reflect skill.

Phew.

However it didn't stop from that. The dome gets smaller and smaller along with the Lightning Cage. So now I'm being squashed by these two imprisoning magic skills.

Well, because of my reflect skill, it doesn't do much, though. As it touches me, it only gets reflected.

It has become a series reflecting the dome of soil and the lightning net, then getting squashed once again, only to be reflected once again.

This won't go anywhere. I'll just push my way through. Since it's already attacking, I should show how I can fare against it for now.

And so I did. I turned off Liquid Body and activated Intangible. I know it will still be able see me, but it's fine. I'm only being careful from its possible physical attacks. Also just to make sure, I erected a Barrier using my Psychokinesis.

I got out of the net and dome pretty easily just by passing through them. They were just reflected when I touched them. I wonder I why I didn't thought of this when I first encountered my first slime.

Purin: ”… Static Binding. Magma Eruption. Earth Prison. Black Hole.”

Whoa, there…

Perhaps getting agitated, it's now assaulting me with a barrage of magical attacks, which are only being rendered useless by my Reflect skill.

The Static Binding, a Zoia Magic that looks like the Lightning cage but it binds the target directly onto the ground, was disabled the moment it touched me. I guess, skills that doesn't attack are just getting disabled instead of being reflected back.

Magma Eruption made a small volcano on the ground where I was floating, but the lava and molten rocks were only reflected back to the ground like they were pulled by something below.

The Black Hole seemed to pull me into a point where a black orb is floating. Well, it was also disabled when I was pulled to it and my body touched it.

… What the heck.

This Reflect skill is too overpowered against Magic Skills… I also noticed this when the hoard of slimes were attacking me unceasingly. But to think that even Magic Skills of this level are futile against me…

Hmm…I guess there won't be a need to raise my Magic Defense anymore, right?

Alright. My turn. If it can see me, then it has a means to do so. I'll maximize Glow in an instant to create a flash bomb.

Purin: ”Hn?!”

Okay, it worked. I'll use this instant to activate Amplify, doubling my Physical Attack. I know it has Omni-Physical Damage Resistance, but it's better than nothing.

Strike it using my body!

*smack!*

I hit it!

Purin: ”… Useless.”

Tch. It didn't penetrate…

… I'm not done yet!

Alright. Let's be creative from here on out.

Hm. Let's try this out.

Since I was able to manipulate the air around the slime earlier, which is also to my surprise. I mean, I just thought of it that instant. It's not like I knew what I was doing.

I used Psychokinesis to gather enough air as much as possible around me and envelop my body with it. With that, I used that same air to propel myself towards the body of the huge slime. Also, creating a spiraling effect in front of me in the process.

Here comes a Mr. Ghost Drill! Mufufu~

Go!

*swoosh!*

There!

I successfully penetrated it!

I'm now inside its body, but I don't have a moment to spare…! And so, Barrier…!

Then… EXPAND INSTANTLY!!

The air that I gathered immediately expanded with great speed more than I could before and…

*splat!!”

Everything around me exploded, which is caused by the rapid expansion of compressed air, scattering the remains of the slime.

… That… Did it…?

No movements from within visuals… No more, captain!

Mufu… Mufufufu… It wasn't easy and I was nervous all throughout the time but… I guess it was worth it. Mufufu… The slime's body is now scattered all over the room.

For my attack earlier, I used the remaining air from my propulsion to create a drill and used it to penetrate its body. Then when I got inside, I used the air stored inside my body, which I gathered by partly activating Intangible.

Usually, when I deactivate Intangible, it pushes out the air that passes through my body. But this time, miraculously I guess, I got to activate Intangible just to make portion of my body intangible. And so, I made my outer layer tangible to store air inside.

To make it simple, I became a balloon. Mufufu.

I then manipulated the air and expand it in an incredible rate using Trigger to create an explosion from the inside.

I got the idea from the 'balloon' like slimes. I remembered one video. There was a boy who was inflating a balloon. But it got too much air. When it bursted, pieces of the balloon hit his face.

I just thought I could do the same thing using my Liquid Body, but I guess it wasn't necessary.

And there you have Mr. Ghosts attack explanation!

<Storage skill acquired>

Ohhh! Skills! To think I acquired skills this many from that attack alone. Mufufu. I'm really awesome.

I'll check them later.

First, I have to get out of here. There's a possibility that it's not alone.

Let's g-

Purin: ”… Enough of this. Curse: Paralyze.”

Wha…?!
