For his remaining eighty points, Weaver had made him a sack that would be able to hold quite a few things inside, and, importantly, protect them from Adam’s body.

Thanks to a suggestion from Finnian, who was hovering nearby, Adam discovered that he could push the spidersilk pouch inside his body, making it both easier to travel with and harder for anyone to steal. At the same time, he’d found that he could also store the glass heart inside his slime flesh without any harm coming to the relic, and he’d placed it in the exact middle of his chest. Amusingly, the golden-orange light inside it glowed through his body, which he thought might serve as a distraction from his five cores that he had left to their own meandering orbits inside his limbs and head.

Adam tested the night moth’s bracelet as he left the market, and after a bit of trial and error, he discovered that its cooldown was something like five minutes. It recharged the marbles at the same speed no matter if he was close to light or submerged in shadow, but he wondered if it was because it was currently night. If that was the reason, it might stop charging during the day.

The marbles would turn a dull grey after activation, and the relic could be used after all of the marbles were filled with the oil and smoke again. It was indeed a way to teleport, but it only worked within an area of about a hundred metres from where he stood, and only if it was within his line of sight.

After the small detour to test the bracelet and the mobility of his unfamiliar body, Adam returned to the player house and spent half an hour beating up the training dummy. He’d asked Finnian how to change his body to perform some of the special attacks that slimes possessed, but the slime emperor’s descriptions hadn’t been very helpful. Based on his explanation, Adam assumed the transformations were completely instinctual to the slime, since the advice had boiled down to “swing your fist to punch”, while completely skipping over the fact that Finnian was altering the very composition of the slime in his body as he fought.

If Adam focused on his fist when he swung, he was able to turn it into a spike like the purple slime’s attack, but it unequipped his shapeshifter’s claw when he did it, and it was hard to do it without concentrating completely. As such, he gave up the idea for now.
