T0 Gaming Guild Saves the World.

Chapter 107, Level 106: Eighth Floor, Cleared!

“Arna…”

The Slime King transformed into the likeness of Alna, its translucent body bubbling with countless water bubbles, like her tears.

Even from close proximity, Orange Tea could sense the Slime King's sorrow.

The orange tea did not summon Alna herself, but rather a "doll" formed by filling and shaping wandering souls.

But it did indeed awaken the slime's last shred of rationality, preventing the black cat's insidious mental attack from taking effect.

King Slime had a splitting headache, but his eyes were perfectly clear.

"Thank you..." She looked at Alna again with lingering affection, then lowered her head and thanked the orange tea.

The black cat gathered the dissipated pink mist around itself, and with its two hands, each as tall as two people, it used both hands to swat away the approaching Jiang Heyi and the Four Primal Bodies.

The blade, stained with powdery mist, became the medium through which cold, sticky thoughts meandered upwards, along their arms, into their bodies, and deep into their consciousness.

As soon as they got close to the giant hand, they heard multiple echoes.

Upon closer examination, Jiang Heyi was astonished to realize that these voices originated from their encounters in their dreams.

Their consciousness was shrouded in mist, and within the mist, the vortex of dreams devoured their rationality. "They" from the dream world kept chanting Jiang Heyi's name.

The voice was so warm and gentle...like a loving mother calling to a lost child.

Jiang Heyi plunged the knife into his thigh, and the excruciating pain that penetrated to the bone spread throughout his body, dispelling the chaotic sounds that flooded his consciousness.

The four primordial bodies were in slightly better condition. They bit their lips, licked the blood, and used their sense of taste and pain to resist the ever-increasing mental onslaught.

It turns out the black cat was just playing around earlier; it was fully capable of using mental magic while launching physical attacks, and could even combine the two.

"Can it still be blocked?"

I thought it was a tiny bug that I could easily crush, but even after I applied force, it remained firmly in place.

This is a disgrace to the black cat.

"Arise, you illusory puppet trapped in the dream."

Not only the jailer, but also the others who had fallen to the ground, such as the original flavor fries, got up upon hearing the noise.

The effects of the mint potion hadn't worn off, and the enhanced creatures attacked the black cat like wolves and tigers.

Mental attacks, mentalized physical attacks, puppet manipulation, and the main body can also use one or two small acceleration spells.

The black cat's mental fortitude is astonishing.

This guy is more than ten times stronger than the Whisperer Naphiel!
How could such an outrageous monster be staying on the eighth floor? Shouldn't the people of the Eternal Night Church all go deeper into the area?

"Your opponent is me!"

Just as it was about to deliver the fatal blow together with the giant hand formed from the pink mist, it sensed the chilling killing intent. The black cat's tail stood up like an antenna, and a pink halo flashed frequently.

The spiritual power extracted from dreams is transformed into a solid shield to protect oneself.

She wanted to escape, but she couldn't.

One of the supreme powers of the earth element—gravity magic.

Despite her formidable strength, her body was firmly locked to the ground, unable to move an inch.

The beams of light formed from condensed dark elements surged towards the black cat like a roaring river.

Spiritual power, magical power, and elemental power—these three forces intertwine and collide, condensing a world-destroying force at the point of impact.

Unable to focus on controlling the four puppets at the boundary between reality and illusion, the original flavor fries were the first to awaken.

Her body went limp after her strength was drained, and before she could even come to her senses, two trustworthy figures appeared in front of her.

Jiang Heyi and the four original entities raised a magic shield, blocking the four dazed people.

next second...

A moment of silence followed, then a deafening roar that shook the earth and pierced eardrums.

The buildings of the metallurgical mine were reduced to ashes in the explosion, and the forging furnaces, forged from rare metals through countless hammerings, were blown into the sky, instantly bearing hundreds and thousands of scars, as if they had been torn apart by the claws of wild beasts.

Jiang Heyi and the others' magic shields were simply a drop in the ocean. In this clash of top-tier combat power in the game, they couldn't even stabilize their magic power.

Just as they were about to be torn to pieces by the magical turbulence, a soft touch enveloped the seven people at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The Slime King transformed back into a giant "pudding," shielding them behind him.

She thoughtfully released a soundproofing array to prevent Jiang Heyi and the others from having their eardrums ruptured and becoming deaf.

Seconds later, the energy from the collision gradually dissipated, leaving a crater several meters deep at the center. The buildings visible to the naked eye on the eighth floor were all shattered and collapsed, with only the temple-like structures at the very edge remaining somewhat intact.

The dark smelting layer shimmered with various colors of light.

They come from minerals.

The chaotic currents of magic, spiritual power, and elemental power surged wildly, and the unprocessed minerals piled up on the eighth floor were ignited by different forces, reacting silently.

The black cat was not dead. It stood atop a huge, rickety pillar, looking down at everyone.

However, when his gaze fell upon the Slime King, there was not a trace of the disdain he would show when confronting the boundary between reality and illusion.

When magic first permeated the world, slimes were among the first races to awaken and learn how to use magic.

They are the oldest "monsters," born alongside renowned races such as dragons, sirens, and elves in the ancient First Age.

When it comes to those ancient and intelligent races, slimes are the only ones that are not mentioned.

Simply put, slimes are not an intelligent race; they are inherently unintelligent.

The king is an exception.

They are a miracle of this flawed, intellectually deprived race, cruelly mocked by the world.

The black cat sensed the surrounding spiritual energy, which was then captured by the Slime King.

"Stop looking, the portal is broken, and the spatial magic is ineffective." The Slime King glared at her. "This is the work of your Church of Eternal Night."

Black Cat was certain that the people in the church wouldn't do that.

Upon entry, it was clearly stated that necessary infrastructure must not be damaged, and the 10-story large bookstore was one of them.

The change occurred not long ago. The High Saintess of Clarity, still stubbornly resisting on the 12th floor, seemed to have done something; spatial magic in the temple gradually lost its effectiveness, and...

Someone reported that they vaguely sensed something watching them through the still-functioning portals.

The black cat had to be wary and consider whether it was worth fighting the Slime King to the death here.

King Slime used a little trick to transmit his voice into the soundproofing array.

"Children, listen carefully, that black cat is trying to run away."

Plain Fries was surprised: "She should be... in the lead, right?"

King Slime frankly confirmed her guess: "If it comes down to it... I might not be able to take her down."

"I don't know why she suddenly started looking for a way out; maybe it has something to do with Elsa."

Elsa, the name I heard for the first time at the boundary between reality and illusion.

Knowing this wasn't the time to press for answers, Jiang Heyi quickly asked, "What do you want us to do?"

“Kill this black cat.” King Slime was filled with hatred. “Her position in the Church of Eternal Night is far above that of Nafi’s group. She is probably staying on the 8th floor to control the people who are still resisting in the 6th and 7th floor mines.”

"We must not allow this monster to join forces with the rest of the Church of Eternal Night!"

Jiang Heyi's head was buzzing, and the others were even more astonished than the catfish demon when he heard "Go and get rid of Tang Sanzang and his disciples".

We're going to fight the black cat?
Can you win?
Guaranteed to die!
It has nothing to do with courage or boldness. Courage is only effective when the strength is similar. Through fierce battles, everyone at the boundary between illusion and reality has become certain that Black Cat's strength is far beyond the limits that his current level and equipment configuration can overcome.

The residual force of the two powerful beings nearly melted them into dust, and they had to use their heads to help deal with the damage.

Even with the power of the mint potion, all they could do was injure the black cat...

Gua sha is also a form of injury.

“I know what you’re thinking,” King Slime said. “Are you confident you can disable her mental magic?”

The eyes of all seven people lit up at the boundary between reality and illusion.

The black cat's mental magic is too overpowered; the fact that it can use mental magic simultaneously with other attack methods makes it even more overpowered.

If King Slime could ban her special ability...

Worth a try!
There was no answer, but the gleaming eyes of everyone at the boundary between reality and illusion had already given the Slime King the answer.

“Not bad courage, no wonder Alna chose you... Let me do something stupid like her.”

"Listen up, little ones..."

Because of the soundproofing array, the black cat only knew that the Slime King was communicating with the boundary between reality and illusion, but did not know what they were saying.

Because of the presence of the Slime King, she dared not act rashly and could only stand in a stalemate, wearing down each other's psychological defenses.

Gravity magic was the technique she feared most. The black cat never imagined that this slime, which she could enslave so easily, would have such a high level of mastery of elemental magic.

Given time, it will surely reach the ninth level.

Amidst its racing thoughts, the black cat vaguely felt that its fur was a little dry.

Looking around, the ore, ignited by the battle, was releasing more and more energy. The entire eighth floor was like a wildfire, turning from smoldering to open flames.

"wrong!"

"When, you!"

Knowing he'd been discovered, the Slime King stopped pretending.

"Elements...Mist!"

A magical explosion, an elemental mist—a magical phenomenon that strikes fear into the hearts of magicians.

The Slime King did not possess this power, but through her understanding of elemental power, she could maximize the concentration of elemental power from a region into a single area.

The pseudo-elemental mist could appear real to the unsuspecting black cat. Seeing the pure elemental power spreading out in mist centered on the Slime King, the black cat completely lost its temper.

"You crazy man!!!"

"Your body and soul..." The Slime King's massive body was boiling, crackling as it was filled with elemental energy. "Leave them all on the earth!"

Black Cat anticipated the gravity magic would strike, so he completely abandoned the dream power condensed from the boundary between reality and illusion, using their self-destruction to weaken the gravity binding effect.

He was running in slow motion, his movements swift and agile.

It was as if a sharp knife had sliced ​​through it, and the Slime King was split in two.

Half of his body crashed to the ground, releasing a massive amount of elemental power that accelerated the formation of the elemental field.

In order to achieve his goal, King Slime severed his own flesh!
The blood and tears of those who seek clarity must be repaid!

The black cat gathers all its power, condensing it into a shield, ready to counteract the chain reaction of the elemental mist waves.

The sound of hurried footsteps made her suddenly raise her head.

Seven figures appeared in the elemental mist.

"Impossible!" she cried out in shock, as if she had witnessed the most terrifying thing in the world.

This is the Elemental Mist, a magical phenomenon that can chain infinitely until all elemental power within a region is burned out.

Whether it's slow roasting at a low temperature, intense heat, or even a big firework display to consume it all at once, nobody can say for sure.

The elemental fog is uncontrollable.

Individuals within it are constantly being swept away by the elemental waves, and even elemental life forms will perish as a result.

Black Cat was taken aback when he noticed the things the seven people were carrying on their backs and above their heads at the boundary between the real and virtual worlds.

Those were seven slimes whose colors kept changing, and the faint light emanating from their bodies drove the people away from the boundary between reality and illusion through the pervasive mist.

By utilizing the individual entities separated from the Slime King, resonate with the elemental mist and evade its erosion.

At this moment, even someone as arrogant and haughty as her could not help but exclaim in amazement.

That's unbelievable.

Someone actually dared to cooperate with the Slime King in doing this!

No one knows how long the resonance will last; once the elemental mist fluctuates violently, they will all be reduced to ashes.

"I acknowledge your courage, you insects!"

As she spoke, she attempted to unleash mental magic.

The omnipresent elemental mist rapidly eroded the dissipating magic, and the nascent mental magic immediately perished.

The elemental field suppressed the operation of magic.

At this moment, all normal magic near the black cat was burned away by the elements, leaving only distorted magic assimilated by the elements.

If the black cat were a skilled elemental mage, she would be overjoyed, but she is not.

Her proudest power has been sealed away.

"Thank you for making me feel so bad!"

The mint potion continued to work within everyone's bodies, and as long as the elemental mist didn't seep into their flesh and blood, they wouldn't be affected.

The original flavor fries went completely mad. With bloodshot eyes, she descended like a demon god, and with a powerful, heavy blow, she chopped down on the black cat's head.

Barely managing to block a fierce attack with his remaining magic, he was met with a sudden attack from his side and rear.

"Thank you for helping me lock in my blood."

Jiang Heyi shouted "Backwater!" and shattered the black cat's magic shield, striking her hard, iron-like body squarely. Her body, already affected by gravity magic, flew out like a cannonball.

Black Cat's greatest fortune was that the elemental mist was also dissolving the effects of gravity magic, and her body began to feel lighter.

Moreover, those who were on the boundary between reality and illusion within the elemental mist were also unable to use magic.

Only a martial artist can inflict effective damage on her.

"I'd like to see what you martial artists can do to me..."

"boom!"

Zhong Zemo used his small round shield as a baseball bat, aiming at the black cat as it rolled up and slammed it down heavily.

The black cat, its head buzzing, erupted in fury like a volcano.

"You lowly ants, how dare you blaspheme!"

Another shield slam.

While the black cat was still lucid, it crawled out of the encirclement after being kicked twice more by the blankets.

The magic is about to be exhausted in the chase and resistance.

The black cat roared in the direction of the Slime King, "Don't push your luck!"

"You've gone too far? I'll kill you!"

These words ignited the madness within the black cat, pushing her, a master of mental magic, to the brink of sanity collapse.

"All have to die!"

For example, the tail of the antenna panel sticks into the ground.

She will use her magic to stir up the elemental mist and set everything ablaze!
"I'd like to see how you flesh and blood can fight against me!"

The gravity magic had failed, and the black cat teleported far away.

"Chi~~~"

A section of the black cat's tail snapped off, and before she could react, a large black rat scooped up the severed tail that had sunk into the ground.

Good job, bed!
The only person who can keep up with the black cat's speed is crucial!
The magic flowed back into the body due to the breakage of the tail, and the black cat's purple-gold eyes immediately became bloodshot.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

She screamed wildly.

"Calling out counts as time, too."

Taking advantage of the black cat being frozen in place due to the backlash of magic, everyone at the boundary between the real and the virtual rushed forward.

The jailer, who wasn't a martial artist, and the four original beings used their staffs like baseball bats, smashing things around.

Orange Tea casually picked up a brick and joined in a fierce brawl.

After a beating lasting more than ten seconds, the black cat was left mangled and curled up on the ground.

Never before has there been such a frustrating battle.

Her mental magic was nearly perfected; she had only ever manipulated others, never suffered such humiliation!
She desperately wanted to tear the seven ants before her to shreds, but magic...

Magic!
"Hey!" Orange Tea slammed a brick down, burying the black cat's raised head heavily into the ground.

Her vitality was truly remarkable; even so, she only experienced dizziness and did not die.

Jiang Heyi and the original flavor fries were tired of using their skills, so they just shed a layer of hair on her skin, leaving scars on the flesh beneath.

"give it to me."

Jiang Heyi turned around, somewhat dazed.

The Slime King absorbed the flesh and blood he had cut off and rolled over with a gurgling sound.

In just a short while, the black cat's head was able to move again.

That's too bizarre. Is this really the strength that a flesh and blood body could possess?
"Your tricks of moving among different puppets have come to an end."

Everyone suddenly realized.

Damn, no wonder it's so hard!

Knowing what the Slime King was planning, the black cat panicked.

"No...no, we...we can talk, glug~~~"

King Slime opened his mouth and swallowed the black cat whole.

Having read too many literary works about characters breaking out of their bodies and being defeated, Jiang Heyi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

The jailer simply said what he meant.

The Slime King finally smiled and comforted her, saying, "My body is the elemental field. For her, who has lost her magic, this is her eternal prison."

As the slime-bodied pupa grew, the black cat was gradually moved to the Slime King's abdomen.

The elemental corrosion rendered the black cat powerless to struggle, and she kept shouting, making muffled noises.

"The Church of Eternal Night, I can tell you the secrets of the Church of Eternal Night!"

"Let's make a deal; it'll be good for both of us!"

King Slime sneered: "Since you can move between different puppets, your spiritual strength must be quite considerable..."

The black cat was speechless; she knew what was about to happen to her.

"I will kill you, you swarm of insects, you insects!!!!"

Before long, the puppet's body, which Jiang Heyi and the others could not destroy even with violent dismantling, was shattered into pieces.

The core magic circle and the magic core that drives the puppet's operation were spat out by the Slime King and turned into a rainbow-colored ball of light.

"Here you go, little ones."

We haven't even finished processing the Black Cat before entering the settlement phase, and they're already giving us such good stuff?

If the appetizers are like this, what's next?
　Since there's so much content, let's treat it as a double update.
