It's quite common for most heroes to fail to actually kill the Slime King after passing the second phase.
In the game, after passing the second stage, it will automatically point to the Slime King's true form.
Here, even a brave warrior without enemy-finding skills might search the entire forest without finding a clue.
Oh no, without the target acquisition skill, you wouldn't even know the opponent has a physical body.
Of course, this situation is not unsolvable.
Because once the heroes have gained some experience, they discover that the system doesn't give rewards after killing the "fake original body," and they can't even unlock the encyclopedia entry.
Then they will start to wonder if the enemy has actually not been killed yet.
This is also the beginning of the heroes of the past consciously searching for the true form of the Slime King.
However, at this stage, few heroes would be able to perceive it, and Milu is still too inexperienced.
It's tender in every aspect.
She was completely unaware of what she should have noticed.
It's not her fault, because this is a common problem for those who haven't gotten used to using the system yet; it's a pitfall that every novice adventurer will fall into.
[Hero of the Thorns: It's just ahead!]
After hacking and slashing their way through, a rather open area suddenly appeared before them.
As the group rushed out of the forest, before they could even search, a colossal creature appeared before them.
That's a...
Tumor.
A fleshy ball covered in blood vessels, rooted to the ground, ten meters in diameter, pulsating like a heart.
"Let's finish it."
Just then, An Yi did something that surprised the other three.
He put Lycorina on the ground and flashed to the ball of flesh like an arrow.
At the same time, dozens, even hundreds, of tentacles attacked from all directions! ∑￠、4）/
"Watch out!" Layton yelled in alarm.
Milu instantly vanished into the shadows, intending to rescue An Yi.
Wind Elemental Sword, Skill: Wind Slash
Multiple releases.
An Yi twisted her body, and at the same time, a strong wind arose around her, and the sword shone with a bright blue light—
"windmill."
"boom--!"
An Yi unleashed a circular slash with his longsword, creating a hurricane centered on himself. The sharp wind blades sliced all the approaching tentacles into pieces, while the outer tentacles were blown away by the gale and could not get close!
Skill: Downward Slash
Multiple releases.
Using the gust of wind, An Yi stepped onto the fleshy ball and leaped up, landing directly on top of it, raising her sword—
"The earth splits open."
Another deafening boom, the sound of air vibrating, followed as the sword blade struck the fleshy ball. The violent impact slammed down, instantly shattering the surface of the giant fleshy ball!
The horrific wound followed the direction of the slash, eventually splitting the flesh ball in two. The crack radiated rapidly backward, and the entire ball of flesh quickly broke in two!
It cracked...it's cracked open!
Meatball: I've split open!
The other three were stunned, unable to imagine what kind of power could destroy such a colossal creature in a single blow.
The next moment, all the tentacles seemed to lose their power, falling limply to the ground and dissolving rapidly.
An Yi also fell off the ball of flesh, exhausted.
Milu made a swift move, rushing over just as An Yi was about to fall to the ground, grabbing him and throwing him away together.
Actually, at that height, even if An Yi fell and landed headfirst, she wouldn't be hurt.
With at least 10 points of resilience, I can kill him by throwing him from a distance of ten meters. Why bother fighting the demons? Let the demons grab me and smash me to the ground, and I'll be dead.
Nestled in Miluko's arms, An Yi said softly, "Thank you."
"Mmm..." Milu smiled stiffly.
It's so heavy!
But Milu would never ask him to move aside, because she would hesitate even to say "excuse me".
Moreover, Milu felt even more embarrassed after An Yi had just helped them deal with the powerful demons.
"Are you alright?!" Layton ran over.
When Lycorina saw Annie collapse, she instantly understood why: "Annie, eat something!"
As he spoke, he took a few pieces of dry food from the backpack behind Layton, knelt down on the ground, and fed them to Anyi.
"Thank you," An Yi said reluctantly.
He was just pretending to be out of strength; in reality, he had only used 10% of his magic power in that strike.
As for why he didn't pretend he had run out of magic, it's because from other people's perspectives, he has health and mana bars above his head, so it's obvious he still has mana.
He habitually turns off all interface displays because he doesn't want these things to distract him.
Getting back to the main point, the difference between combat skills and magic is that combat skills consume stamina.
Stamina is not displayed like health or mana, so you can't tell how much is left, which is why you can pretend to be out of stamina.
As for why one acts, it's actually quite simple.
If Lycorina were to unleash a magic-draining attack like "Heavenly Waterfall," then a retreat would be the obvious next step, as the rations would no longer be sufficient to replenish her magic.
But! Flow
Now that we're here, let's take down the BOSS in one go!
Retreating to hunt other monsters is indeed a good idea. (Ling)
But! The word "retreat" doesn't exist in his dictionary!
Even before the Demon King, he didn't back down an inch. What was a mere Hooked Slime King?!
"Hmm?" Ling
Annie, who was being fed by Lycorina while lying on Miluko's flat chest, suddenly made a sound of confusion.
"What's wrong?" Lycorina asked.
"Why? I have no experience points." An Yi pretended not to know anything and said expressionlessly.
"No experience points?" Lycorina hadn't even reacted yet.
Milu was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at the top of An Yi's head.
Then, very quickly, his eyes turned to terror.
"Could it be... that the slime's core hasn't been destroyed yet?!"
She suddenly realized something.
But all the surrounding tentacles have disappeared!!
why? !
Chapter 44 A lap pillow is great, the best thing is a lap pillow
"W-What should we do?! Should we tell them?!"
Milu was torn between telling the truth or not.
Annie's stamina is now exhausted, Lycorina needs to replenish her magic, and Layton keeps saying that he's "fine, fine," but in reality, his health has already dropped by more than half.
Milu was not injured, nor did she expend too much magic power; in fact, she was constantly trying to replenish her physical strength.
Of the four, she consumed the least amount of energy, so...
It's also the most useless. (In my opinion)
All she did was run around, and run back and forth.
If we don't tell others about our discovery at this point, they will probably leave the forest and announce that everything is over.
If the disaster continues after they leave… she will be the culprit behind all of this!
The worst-case scenario is that because they failed to completely resolve the disaster, it would invite the revenge of the demons who originally inhabited the forest, resulting in the deaths of the villagers.
By then, Milu won't become a great hero; she'll be a sinner for all time!
In her mind, she was on a cross, with a pile of wood below her, and the word "sinner" hanging around her neck.
People around the square pointed at her, hurled insults, and threw rotten vegetables and eggs at her.
“Murderer!!”
"You killed the entire village! You're the demon!!"
"Ignition! Ignition! Ignition!!"
On the cross, she looked at her three teammates in despair.
As a result, all three of them gave her disdainful looks.
An Yi: "Murderer, die!"
Lycorina: "I never expected Miluko to be this kind of person!"
Layton: "A real man cannot tolerate evil! Execute him!"
Finally, with a loud "bang!", the firewood was ignited, and Milu was engulfed in the flames, billowing black smoke...
