Chapter 13 - Level 10
Lucien quickly realized something was off.
For a dungeon that had just formed, the first level felt too massive. He had assumed it would be small. But after wandering for what felt like hours, he still hadn’t found the end.
He finally understood why dungeon crawlers often spent days and even months inside. They would set up camps to rest and kept pushing forward.
The deeper Lucien went, the more intense it got.
Slime groups appeared in increasing numbers, swarming him in larger packs. Their levels weren’t stagnant either. He’d encountered slimes ranging from Level 2 to Level 7.
So far, Lucien had encountered six types of slimes. Each one reflects a color of the rainbow and each with their own quirks and combat challenges.
Red Slimes radiated warmth and when agitated, their bodies grew noticeably hotter. Their slime shots were uncomfortably warm like getting slapped by a warm and sticky towel.
Orange Slimes were walking glue traps. They left sticky trails in their wake which clung stubbornly to Lucien’s boots. Their bodies were tacky and tough to cut through.
Yellow Slimes were more solid. Their gooey bodies were denser and more resilient especially against blunt attacks. Lucien had to exert extra force just to slash them and each hit feeling like chopping into rubber.
Green Slimes were the speedsters of the bunch. Their slime shots came faster too and their ability to dodge made them a slippery foe. Literally and figuratively.
Blue Slimes had been the first he encountered and compared to the others, they were practically easier to deal with.
