Chapter 64 - The World’s First Subjugation - 02
Finally, Kenya stands right in front of the slime.
“Pi-gi!? (Panicking)”
The steel slime, clearly showing signs of panic, dashed away at full speed.
However, it looked like Kenya was slowly catching up.
Kenya and the steel slime ran wildly, weaving around the area.
And finally…
“Haaa!!”
“Pi-gi!? (Scared)”
Kenya’s Slashing Sword caught the slime.
And with one swift strike… or so he thought.
“Pi-gi? (Light)”
Kenya’s attack had absolutely no effect.
Well, that made sense since Kenya’s attack power was now zero.
His attacks, with only his raw strength, had no effect whatsoever.
After all, the opponent was steel-colored.
It looked so hard that even a half-hearted attack wouldn’t have worked.
Kenya stood still, staring at the slime.
The slime froze in place, and it probably stared back at Kenya, though it had no eyes.
And then…
“Pi-gi (Snicker)”
Irritated.
Kenya heard what sounded like the slime snickering at him, as if mocking him.
The steel slime let out joyful sounds, as if teasing him further.
“Pi-gi (Weakling)”
More irritation.
“Pi-gi (Loser)”
Even more irritation.
“Pi-gi (Virgin)”
“What color is your blood, you bastard!!!”
And thus, the chase between Kenya and the slime began once more.
He would catch up, and just as he was about to strike, he shifted all his stats into attack power.
But the timing was critical.
It had worked well against the Goblin King, but against this super-fast monster, the timing was far more difficult.
It was like a certain mini-game where you had to predict your opponent’s moves at the last possible moment.
Moving at full speed while adjusting stats at the perfect moment was extremely difficult.
The moment he moved his stats, his speed would drop, making it even more challenging.
“What’s so bad about being a virgin!!!”
“Pi-gi (Shorty)”
“Y-you’re the one I won’t forgive!!!”
How long have they been chasing each other now? Nearly an hour?
Reina and Misuzu were sitting down, watching the whole thing unfold.
“Why is the Senior talking to it?”
“I don’t know, but maybe he feels like the slime’s sounds have some meaning.”
“What’s that about, lol.”
Kenya’s shouts echoed across the floor.
The two, already bored, had taken snacks and tea from Misuzu’s item box and were leisurely watching the chase unfold.
“Hurry up, Senior.”
“Do your best, Kenya!”
And finally, the moment arrived.
“Dieeeee!!!”
“Pi! Pi-gi!!!!! (Dying)”
“Yesss!!!”
Kenya perfectly timed the shift in his stats and successfully defeated the steel slime.
He speculated that with more than 5,000 speed and 5,000 attack power, it was possible to defeat it.
But this floor was recommended for C-rank explorers.
At most, explorers with around 200 stats would come here, so there was no way they could defeat it.
『First subjugation of the Metal Slime confirmed. The first subjugation reward will be granted to Mikenju Kenya.』
The metal slime turned to ash, transforming into a treasure chest.
Its color was gold, and an announcement proclaimed the world’s first subjugation.
(If Venus of Dawn had been here, they could have defeated it, but on their floor, they’re probably dealing with even faster slimes.)
Kenya then opened the golden treasure chest that gleamed before him.
“A golden chest for defeating a Metal Slime… I wonder what’s inside.”
