Outer Gods invade, stuff them all into your equipment inventory.

The further away you are from the city walls, the higher the probability of encountering monsters.

At first, there were only one or two slime monsters, but now there are a full five slime monsters blocking Sean's way.

They were slightly smaller than gel slime, only reaching about the height of Sean's calf.

Their bodies are not made of a translucent gel, but rather resemble molten magma.

The fiery red liquid slowly flowed inside the slime's skin, releasing a large amount of heat.

"Five fire slimes."

This was the first time Sean had ever encountered an elemental type slime.

Compared to gel slime, fire slime is more threatening.

"In addition to physical attacks, this monster also possesses rudimentary fire manipulation abilities."

He stared intently at the molten, magma-like gelatinous substance churning within the fire slime's body.

They can eject extremely hot, viscous fireballs from their bodies.

Although its range isn't very long, it can still be considered a long-range attack unit.

"However... it's just so-so."

Bump!

Sean instantly used his newly acquired skill.

A powerful propulsive force erupted from beneath his feet, and his body seemed to transform into a cannonball.

His body tore through the air at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, crashing into the five fire slimes.

The skill granted him a super armor state, enveloping him in an invisible force field that ignored the oncoming heat wave.

"bump!"

Before the fire slimes could react, Sean had already smashed them to pieces one by one.

The scorching, sticky mass, mixed with sparks, splashed and splattered in all directions.

In an instant, it seemed as if a small-scale rain of fire was falling from the sky, and the scalding remains of the fire slime fell to the ground with a crackling sound.

"A five-in-a-row victory, perfect!"

Sean was also very satisfied with his performance this time.

Using the collision skill effectively is quite difficult.

This skill is essentially a forced, high-speed, straight-line dash.

If you don't consciously control it, using the Impact skill will just result in you blindly crashing forward in a straight line.

The five fire slimes weren't actually in a straight line; they were arranged in a somewhat irregular S-shape.

Sean relied on his control over his body to forcefully create a subtle yet crucial arc in the extremely short time it took to activate the skill, while moving in a high-speed straight line.

This allowed the impact trajectory to pass over five targets in sequence, achieving the spectacular effect of "one shot, five hits".

"As expected of me."

It seems I have quite a talent for combat, Sean thought with considerable pride.

Not long after equipping himself with the Gel Slime Body, Sean realized he had been worrying unnecessarily.

The sudden increase of 9 points of power was not as difficult to control as he had expected.

His body is very adaptable.

In just a few minutes of normal walking and a few attempts at combat, he had already gained control of that newly added extra power.

"Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense."

Sean currently has 43 points in Strength.

This strength attribute is an absolutely overwhelming advantage in the E-rank hero circle.

He is probably the E-rank hero with the highest strength attribute in history.

However, if we place it within the circle of D-rank heroes or even C-rank heroes...

43 points of strength isn't actually that high.

Those B-rank, A-rank, and even S-rank heroes possess strength attributes that far exceed this value.

If each improvement in strength attributes requires a long period of adaptive training.

Those powerful warriors will probably have to spend their entire lives on the training field.

Clearly, as the rank and basic attributes are comprehensively improved, the body's adaptability will also leap forward in tandem.

This is an inevitable phenomenon and part of the evolution of bodily functions.

Before this, Sean had killed many different kinds of slimes and obtained many other kinds of slime corpses.

However, he still firmly chose to keep the gel slime corpse in the second equipment slot.

There is no other reason.

It's because the collision skill is so useful.

"If used properly, it's a divine skill."

The ramming skill isn't particularly powerful in the hands of a Gel Slime.

The gel slime's jumping movement and its highly elastic body structure mean that it has no way to fully utilize the advantages of this skill.

"Strictly speaking, it's more like 'slapping' the target with your body than actually 'colliding' with it."

"Its leaping movement makes it difficult for it to accumulate enough speed and kinetic energy before impact."

In addition, there's its overly elastic body.

While this body structure can cushion damage, it also dissipates some of the impact force during active collisions, significantly reducing the skill's power.

"Based on a 100-point scale, the power of gel slime is at most 40 points."

"But I can unleash 300% of the power of this skill."

Strength: 15 (+28 equipment) → 43

Stamina: 19 (+20 equipment) → 39

Agility: 14 (+12 equipment) → 26

The terrifying power of up to 43 points provides the most basic impact kinetic energy.

With 39 points of stamina, the body can maintain its optimal combat condition throughout the battle.

His 26 points of agility grant him exceptional movement speed.

These attributes worked together to transform his human body into a "biological ramming weapon."

The overwhelming advantage in attributes, though boring, is just that simple and unpretentious.

When Sean started moving at a speed far exceeding his opponent's reaction limit, carrying powerful kinetic energy enough to smash through rocks, he slammed into them.

What combat techniques, what attribute advantages and disadvantages, what special abilities.

These things are utterly insignificant in the face of absolute power, speed, and physique.

One force can overcome ten techniques.

"Everyone looks down on people with weird attributes."

But everyone longs to become a monster with a specific attribute.

"This is fine...it's good."

The only drawback.

"The battle was far too bloody."

A typical skill that can shatter both the centaur and the horse with a single charge.

Monsters hit head-on by the [impact] will not be left with a complete corpse, no matter what.

They all ended up in pieces, with juices flying everywhere.

"There is no way to control the power when using skills."

Every time I use a skill, I instantly unleash the power within me.

Focus on one point, then release it without reservation.

"But this skill requires close-quarters combat."

If the collision hits the target, Sean himself will also be in trouble.

Under that level of impact, the target object would certainly disintegrate in an extremely violent manner the moment of contact.

No matter how hard he tried to avoid it, there was no way to prevent some of the fragments from splashing all over Sean's face.

After each skill use, Sean had to spend some extra time cleaning the sticky "loot" off his body.

This feeling is hardly a pleasant combat experience.
