Slime Evolution-Chapter 51 - Trap

A few seconds ago, Lohan and Lisa came up with a quick and simple plan.

Lisa would find a good angle for an ambush, using her [Spirit Fire] skill on the farthest target, while Lohan would control a clone to roll up to the distracted human mage and interrupt his spell.

They thought about changing targets, but considering that the archer was more alert, he could notice Lohan’s clone and disrupt the plan, so that’s what they implemented.

Although Lohan wasn’t very fast, he still only needed 15 seconds to roll 15 meters with the clone.

As long as his viscosity remained high, he didn’t need to worry about his main body and could focus his attention completely on the clone.

And with [Pack Instinct Lv 1], his control over the clone became even greater, making it easier for him to control the jelly of the clone’s body to make tentacles that silently wrapped around the mage’s leg.

As soon as Lisa fired the [Spirit Fire] ball, the clone sprang into action and activated digestion.

Even though it was only 30% as efficient as the main body, this was limited only to the area it could cover, and its digestion efficiency was as strong as that of the main body.

To his surprise, that wizard’s body was very rich in biomass, perhaps because of his Mana?

But Lohan didn’t dwell on it, Lisa began to move, running in the direction the archer was thrown, while Lohan focused on controlling the clone to cause as much damage as possible to the wizard.

"AAARRRRGHHHH!" The man continued to scream in pain as he thrashed on the ground with tears and snot covering his face.

In desperation, the man couldn’t think of any countermeasures, but his companion did.

Realizing that something was wrong, the assassin turned around in fear and saw the greenish jelly that had melted part of Jamie’s wizard’s cloak and was digesting his flesh at high speed.

"Is that a Slime?!" She asked confused, not believing what she was seeing.

"You’ve got to be kidding me, you idiot, you got ambushed by a fucking slime?!"

But despite cursing Jamie, she ran towards him with her dagger ready to cut that Slime in half.

However, she made the mistake of underestimating the intelligence behind that "jelly."

Lohan, sensing her approach through the clone’s vision, acted quickly. He didn’t just try to defend himself, he used [Pack Instinct] to the limit to use [Partial Division] on the clone, further reducing its size to shoot a jet of viscous fluid directly onto the ground, right in the assassin’s path.

The woman, focused on piercing the Slime, saw it spitting out a green liquid the color of the surrounding grass but didn’t care, treating it as a stupid action that a stupid creature like a slime would do randomly.

As one of the weakest and dumbest creatures in the world, it was difficult for her, who had killed hundreds of Slimes in the past, to take such a small slime seriously.

So when she reached the liquid ejected by the slime, her foot stuck to the green slime like super glue, and the momentum she carried turned into a violent stumble.

"Shit!" She cursed, trying to pull her leg out, but the slime on the ground, stuck to her foot, began to digest and quickly her boot was digested.

To her despair, the speed of digestion of this slime was something so monstrous that she had never seen before! In a matter of seconds the boot would be digested and her foot would follow.

Meanwhile, the main battle took a turn.

Vulre, the elf swordsman, was not a man to waste an opening. Seeing the wizard out of commission and the assassin distracted, he roared a command to Elara.

"Now!"

Elara, catching her breath, fired three arrows in quick succession at the axe warrior, forcing him to retreat for cover.

Vulre, instead of focusing on the warrior, took an acrobatic leap and advanced on the human assassin trapped in the slime on the ground, who now could not count on her agility to dodge his attack.

-xXx-

Across the clearing, Lisa appeared as a white figure among the shadows of the trees, carrying a slime that constantly changed color to better camouflage itself to its surroundings.

She didn’t give the archer time to recover. With a graceful movement of her tails, she activated [Spectral Step], dashing forward as fast as a blur, appearing behind the man and firing another [Spirit Fire] at point-blank range, silencing him before he could pull a dagger from his waist.

-xXx-

Lohan, seeing through the clone’s vision that the assassin was about to use an escape skill to break free from the slime, was about to break free from the mage to deal with her when he saw the elf warrior jump over the human warrior and run towards her.

"Jamie! Kase!" The human axe warrior shouted, realizing that his elite group was suddenly being dismantled.

But no one answered, the mage’s mind could only think of the pain in his leg being digested and becoming even more frightened when he realized that the pain was rising through his body, towards his head.

Anna, the assassin, managed to break free from the slime on the ground after using a movement skill.

Her breaking free was no surprise, after all, Lohan’s clone was only 30% of his size, 10 centimeters in diameter, and his clone’s clone was 30% of the clone’s size, only 3 centimeters in diameter. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Even if the viscosity was strong, the contact surface was not large enough to hold someone powerful for long.

But now she had to deal with the elf warrior who was attacking intensely.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

Suddenly, three arrows cut through the air, hitting the leg, back, and shoulder of the human warrior who turned to help Anna and ignored the elf archer.

From that point on, the battle became dominated by the elves.

But despite dealing with the humans, they were alerted when they saw a white fox coming from the direction the archer had been thrown while carrying a green Slime.

Despite being alert, no arrows were fired from Elara’s bow.

When they saw the Slime absorbing the jelly that trapped the assassin, who was now blue to avoid further Mana expenditure, and then move to the slime that was digesting the human mage and absorb that as well, their eyes widened in disbelief.

’What’s going on?’ That’s what the two thought as they stared at each other in shock.
