Chapter-9: the slime core uses
It is like acid falling on the hand. Water based spells are useless against slimes. Fire based spells if they are stronger has some use. If the slime becomes more viscous because of fire spell then its corrosive power increases causing more damage if they are splashed.
The slime can only be killed in two ways one either pulls out its core or the second is to shatter its core. The core of the slime occupies only a tenth of its body size and it moves without a standard location in its body making it hard to find the core and destroy it.
There is a way to solve it that is to use a simple plastic net. Not all plastics can be corroded by acidic things. So he just bought such a simple net before coming here. He simply spread the net on the slime and pulled it out hard.
The liquid matter was left out and the core fell into the hands of Visva. He put this core separately. This core has other uses. It can be exchanged for dungeon coins and even in crafting some things.
This core is not the main material but a binding material that is used in crafting materials. It would increase the durability of the crafted item and there are more benefits to it. After the slime was killed he got a notification and a simple sack that fell in place of the slime.
"Cling…"
"You have gained 10 experience points for killing a monster slime of level 1"
He took out the sack and opened it. He found that there a bottle of mineral water (1 L), a bun placed in the sack and 10 dungeon coins. He doesn't know what material this dungeon coin is made.
But it is almost indestructible even if there is a full power attack of a level 100 monster. It would not block the attack but the attack would pass through it without any damage. If it can block these people would have made defensive equipment out of it.
He took the money and it cannot be put into his space. He can only put them in a sack like thing and tie it around his waist or put somewhere on his body. Also the dungeon coins have special nature.
You can only keep 10 coins in a sack and where there are more than 10 coins one of the ten coins absorbs the other 9 to become a 10 coin denomination coin. It can also be separated as well by the person speaking out the number that is required.
It is quite strange and one of the mysteries of the dungeon. After taking care of the slime he did not see anything like a treasure chest in the room. There is nothing but he is not willing to give up because there are secret hidden places in the dungeon that are hard to find.
He would make a clear search after he clears the floor and send Robert out of this place. Robert that was knocked by him would not wake up immediately and take at least 6 hours before he can wake up. That is considering his protagonist aura and luck at play.
Visva went quickly to the next room and there is a simple skeleton guard walking. It looked scary but it is not strong enough. Even a kid can kill it with a kick breaking its bones. If it is a level 10 skeleton then it might have stronger strength and has chance of fighting back.
So Visva simply kicked it hard and the bones are broken. There is only a sack that is dropped along with few bones. The remains of the monsters would take few hours before they disintegrate into the dungeon ground.
Before that adventurers can dissect the monsters and take the things they wanted to take. The taken things would not integrate back into the dungeon. The things that are not integrated can become new treasures and new monsters would appear to guard them.
That is if they are left behind accidentally or intentionally. Visva did not have any interest in these bones and they are of no use. So only took the sack that fell other than bones and the notification that appeared.
"Cling…"
"You have gained 10 experience points for killing a monster skeleton of level 1"
He checked inside the contents are very similar to before. A pack with a bun, a mineral water bottle and 10 dungeon coins, that is all there is in the sack. Visva put them in his space and the coins that are 20 in number changed with 2 coins changing its denomination of 10.
Visva put them in a sack and put the water bottle and the buns into space. He moved to the next chamber that is the one that has stairs leading to the next level. The monster guarding here is looked like a goblin.
Visva looked from outside to observe the movements of the monster. The monsters in dungeon usually did not come into the corridor to fight. At least till the tenth floor. After that they would become more intelligent.
Visva found the time when the goblin turned around and took out the iron spear he prepared. Guns are not useful in this place. All hot weapons are nothing more than scrap metal here. But they are very useful outside in the real world in the chaotic times.
The air soft gun he used before can only shoot those darts with compressed air. It cannot do any physical damage other than attracting the other party and provoking. It is useful against humans but not against these monsters.
Also guns are completely useless against those skeleton monsters and slime monsters. It is best to use physical strength or other means to fight them than to use this kind of darts against them.
