The weapons I forge are absolutely flawless.

If it were a massive influx of slimes, it might be a bit of a hassle, but dealing with these one-by-one deliveries is about as easy as digesting a meal.

Baal cleared a path when entering and exiting the mine, eliminating many slimes in advance, which benefited those who came later.

"Well, if Lisette is tired, she can stop and rest for a while. I'm not that tired, so I don't really need to change."

“You spoil Vena too much,” Lisette said bluntly.

Chapter 69 Wiener Never Looks Back at the Explosion

Wiener's forging skills are already highly regarded in a small circle, but his actual combat ability remains a mystery.

Mr. Slav commented that the future is promising.

Judging from his performance in the previous martial arts lessons, Vina's swordsmanship has already shown some skill, but his basic strength is too weak. If he hadn't stopped short of defeat, continuing the fight might have resulted in his loss.

From Felix's perspective, although Vena has a lot of tricks up her sleeve and her swordsmanship is not bad, she is still much weaker than him and is the kind of person who needs to be protected in the team.

But Lisette knew just how deep Vena was hiding.

Although he is just an ordinary first-tier emblem user under normal circumstances, he has a record of defeating a fifth-tier emblem user in a direct confrontation.

Even if Wiener would likely lose his ability to move after using this special method, it would still be enough to prove his explosive power under crisis conditions.

If Wiener is willing to honestly work as a support staff member, this ability is enough to protect himself.

But he was not happy and chose the most radical one from all the assessment options.

Entering the Silver Wolf Class means completely ending an ordinary life.

Lisette was willing to go to great lengths to enter the dungeon with Venus because she wanted to know just how far Venus was willing to go in joining the Silver Wolf Class.

"No, right? Vena's strength is indeed quite average. What if she gets injured in the battle—" Felix tried to explain.

“Maybe he’s enjoying it?” Lisette countered.

This statement caused Felix to fall silent abruptly.

Many previously overlooked scenes flashed through his mind one by one.

"But there are two left for me."

"I'll cover you!"

Then we saw Viña fighting on the front lines.

Slimes can appear anywhere—on walls, at the top of caves, or anywhere else—and Viner can always catch them the moment they pounce.

After defeating each slime blocking its path, it immediately rushes to the next one.

They didn't even bother to clean up the things that had fallen.

A fire in the heart, a light in the eyes.

Felix had always thought that Wiener only showed this level of enthusiasm when forging.

Is that so, Venus? So this is what you've been longing for?

......

At this moment, Wiener must be filled with even more regret.

Not only is he angry inside, but he's also seething inside.

He had considered everything, except that his backpack wouldn't have enough capacity, so he had to reluctantly give up the spoils he couldn't take with him.

I should have prepared an extra alchemy backpack.

Forcing herself not to look at the pile of ore, Venus just wanted to reach the exit teleportation array as soon as possible to leave the dungeon and dispose of all the materials in her backpack.

Venere had no choice but to channel her grief and anger into strength, taking it out on every slime she encountered.

When he swung his sword at a slime again, he found that the feedback was abnormal.

There was no feeling of being cut off; instead, it felt like hitting a spring compressed to its limit, which then bounced back.

If I had to describe it, it would be that he deflected his knife when he slashed at a slime.

If nothing unexpected happens, this is the slash resistance that Balti has mentioned.

"Felix, switch hands!" Venere immediately ordered.

Without hesitation, they retreated and exchanged formations with Felix.

"Alright!" Felix, who was already prepared, took the Absolute Blade.

Slash resistance is essentially just reducing damage from sharp weapons. While Venerer can't do anything about it, that doesn't mean Felix can't.

"Bah!"

The resilient, sticky surface was torn apart by Felix's sword.

At the same time, a faint rustling sound came from the direction the three had entered, which seemed extremely abrupt in the quiet environment.

Lisette fired a flaming arrow behind her to illuminate the way.

A group of slimes of various shapes emerged from the shadows and moved rapidly toward the three people's location.

"Scorching rays!"

Lisette used the same trick again, drawing trajectories in the air with her fingers, and several dazzling rays shot out from her fingertips, creating a wall of fire to block their path.

Fire is indeed one of the slimes' weaknesses, and the fire wall did initially serve to divide them.

But as several crimson slimes sprang out and covered the flames with their bodies, the wall of fire lost its purpose.

Not only did they create barriers, but while blocking the flames, these crimson slimes were also devouring them.

“...Fire resistance.” Lisette’s expression became much more serious.

Slimes are like a mirror; the color of each slime corresponds to its inherent attributes to some extent.

For example, red represents fire, blue represents water, and metallic colors correspond to different levels of toughness and hardness.

At a glance, four or five different colored slimes were spotted, clearly indicating that the authorities did not want them to return the way they came.

"Keep moving forward, don't stop! If the worst happens, crush the escape stone and get out," Venere immediately decided.

Using the escape stone means giving up all the loot from this dungeon run, a significant loss.

But it is precisely in times like these that we need to be able to prioritize things.

"I'll stop them." Just as Listy was about to chant a spell, she saw Venus take a wooden bucket with a capacity of about five liters out of her backpack and throw it toward the slimes behind her.

“Aim at that barrel!” Wiener warned.

Although she didn't know what was going on in the Venus jar, Lisette trusted its choice and fired a fire arrow at the barrel that hadn't yet hit the ground.

Before the flaming arrow could hit, Vena grabbed Lysette and fled without looking back.

"What are you standing there for, waiting to see an explosion?"

"Wait, what exactly did you just throw out?" Lisette asked as she was being carried along at breakneck speed.

"Giant Barrel Bomb!"

No sooner had they finished speaking than a deafening explosion rang out behind them.

"boom!!!"

The power of the large barrel bomb was fully unleashed within the confined space.

Flames surged and shockwaves raged. With a series of overlapping attacks, the slime squeezed at the very front absorbed almost all the power of the bomb, and its body collapsed into a puddle of slime.

The aftershocks of the explosion spread, and the slimes caught in the blast momentarily lost their target amidst the loud noise.

"This should hold them off for a while," Wiener said, expressing great satisfaction with his work.

"Didn't you consider what would happen if you got involved?" Lisette felt her blood pressure rising.

If they had run even a little slower, neither of them would have escaped.

"Don't worry, I already reminded them." Viner indicated that she had indeed followed Listy's instructions and given her teammates some warnings before using the strange and unusual items.

"I'll settle the score with you later." Lisette felt that he simply hadn't learned his lesson.

Even though they only needed to follow the cleared path, it took them quite a while to catch up with Felix ahead.

I could vaguely feel the cool breeze coming from the exit; once I got through this last section, I would be able to leave the mine.

Felix stood rooted to the spot, his face unusually serious.

Chapter 70 Spell Slots Exhausted

"What's wrong?" Wiener asked.

“There’s something here.” Felix frowned.

To prove his point, he thrust his sword forward, but was clearly hindered after only a slight advance.

If you look closely, you won't notice that a huge, transparent gel completely seals the opening.

The blade seemed to have pierced an unbreakable water sphere; it couldn't penetrate or break it. The kinetic energy was completely buffered, and no matter how it was used, it couldn't cause the slightest damage to this giant colloid.

Although it did not show any aggression, it blocked the way to the exit.

“No, I can’t do it anymore.” Felix sheathed his sword, scratched his head, and looked at Vina.

"How about trying magic?" Vena suggested to Lisette.

Lisette didn't hesitate either, unleashing a fire arrow at the giant colloid.

The flaming arrow successfully broke through the surface of the colloid, illuminating a large area around it as it penetrated deeper, but it soon encountered resistance.

With each inch it penetrated deeper, a portion of the sparks were silently swallowed up, until the last spark was extinguished, and it still failed to break through the colorless gel.

As the flames disappeared, the gel returned to its colorless state.

"Is this a slime too?" Felix asked.

He wasn't sure if this gel could still be considered a slime, but in terms of feel, it was similar to a slime with slash resistance, and clearly a level higher.

“Yes, a solid-color slime, and the rarest kind, a transparent colorless slime.” Risty pointed out the true form of the monster in front of her.

Color represents the slime's tendency; the purer the color, the purer the attribute.

It is said that solid-colored slimes can even be immune to the corresponding attribute.

Conversely, a solid-color slime that is immune to fire has almost negative resistance to ice spells.

While it has some research value, it is not an unsolvable problem.

Colorless slimes are a very special type of slime within this group.

The fact that they are colorless indicates that they are easy to stain.

It's like a blank sheet of paper; the saying "one is influenced by one's surroundings" is perfectly illustrated in the colorless slime.

Not only does it possess extremely high physical resistance, but when subjected to magical attacks of any attribute, it will immediately begin to assimilate, turning into the corresponding color to increase its resistance.

Even for spellcasters, it is an extremely difficult opponent.

Alternatively, they could take the "powerful brick-throwing" approach, blasting the enemy apart before they complete assimilation.

Alternatively, several spellcasters might simultaneously attack with magic of different attributes, causing the target to fall into a state of fatigue due to attribute switching.

"Is there a way?" Wiener asked.

A large barrel bomb won't hold them off for long; if even Lisette can't deal with this colorless obstacle blocking their path...

"Who do you think I am?" Lisette flicked a strand of hair and replied confidently.

The reserved spell slots were specifically for this moment.

The magical energy in the air began to gather rapidly, and a powerful energy was condensing in Lisette's hands.

Second-circle spells might not be enough to defeat this slime, so she used all her strength from the start.

"Lightning beam!"

With a low shout from Lisette, the energy in her hand instantly erupted, transforming into a burst of lightning.

The lightning, carrying the force to tear through the air, struck the slime's body instantly.
