Chapter 54: Chapter 54: Ivsha: Someone’s Stealing My Food

[Quest Reward: Slime Condensate x1, Blessing of the Slime King!]

"Hm?"

Su Xuan was a little surprised. ’Has the event quest mutated? Is it because I joined?’

[Slime Condensate (Common): A mucus produced inside a Slime. It can be applied to your body to lower the Aggressiveness of Demons.]

"A single-use item that lowers the Aggressiveness of Demons?"

[Blessing of the Slime King: Are you a Slime? No! *I* am the Slime! Receive the protection of the Slime King one time!]

"?"

Su Xuan was skeptical about the blessing’s effect. ’What is the Slime King’s protection?’

"Su Xuan! That’s a huge Slime!"

Just as he was wondering about it, Liu Xue’s shout suddenly reached his ears.

Su Xuan looked up and saw an enormous Slime appearing behind the crowd of smaller Slimes.

It wore a crown on its head and a red cape on its back that fluttered in the wind~

[Slime King (Elite)]

Level: 10 (0/2000)

Race: Slime

Power: 100 / Agility: 100 / Magic Power: 100 / Physique: 200

Growth: 8 (Gains 8 points to All Attributes per Level up)

Skills: (Expand)

"What a cool-looking Slime King!"

Su Xuan couldn’t help but exclaim in amazement. How could this Slime King be so unique? It was even wearing a crown and a cape!

Moreover, its body was a fiery red, as if a Flame was burning fiercely within it! It actually looked quite good!

"How could this be? Isn’t this a beginner’s event? Why would a Level 10 Slime King appear?" Liu Xue panicked the moment she saw the Slime King’s Attribute panel.

According to the event description, only Level 5 Slimes were supposed to appear for new Players to defeat and gain experience.

So what was the deal with this Slime King?

She couldn’t help but worry. Her Female Elf, Vini, was only Level 6. Trying to deal with a Level 10 Slime King was completely out of the question!

"Don’t worry," Su Xuan said calmly. "I’ll handle it."

At the same time, he knew that Liu Xue hadn’t seen the notification that had just popped up.

’Was the event quest really changed because I joined?’

He wasn’t sure of the exact reason, but the outcome was a pleasant one. A Level 10 Slime King wouldn’t be much of a challenge for him anyway.

"Ivsha, do it!"

"As you command~"

Ivsha nodded slightly, then brought her hands together and began to softly chant a Holy Light Magic Spell.

In an instant, a dazzling light bloomed outwards from her, expanding in all directions.

Wherever the Holy Light touched, hordes of Slimes were instantly turned to ash. As they were killed, experience rewards popped up.

[Killed Slime x1, Experience +50!]

[Killed Slime x3, Experience +150!]

[Killed...]

"So... so strong!"

Ivsha’s immense power made Liu Xue’s beautiful eyes widen in astonishment.

She knew the Adventurers from the Su Xuan Guild were much stronger than her, but she never imagined they would be *this* strong!

’A single Magic spell cleared the entire field?’

’She’s far more powerful than any Player I’ve met before!’

’This is a real expert!’

"O, Holy Light~"

Ivsha chanted softly, her voice drifting like a song~

In that instant, a Golden Giant Sword materialized out of thin air above the Slime King’s head.

As the Magic chant ended, the Golden Giant Sword plunged down, piercing through the Slime King’s fiery red body.

GLURGLE GLURGLE~

The Slime King made a strange noise, followed by a "BANG"!

Its massive body instantly erupted into a sea of fire. The red cape burned to cinders, and the crown on its head was sent flying, landing right at Su Xuan’s feet.

[Killed Slime King x1, Experience +500!]

Oh?

Su Xuan picked up the crown and examined it closely.

[Slime Crown (Common): Charm +1!]

"Hmm..."

Su Xuan gently pinched the Slime Crown. He had originally thought the Golden crown was made of gold, but that wasn’t the case. Its material was rather baffling.

By this time, Ivsha had successfully dealt with all the Slimes.

Su Xuan did a quick tally. This time, he had obtained a total of 10,500 experience points, having eliminated 200 normal Slimes and 1 Slime King.

Adding that to his previous experience, he could just barely raise Ivsha and the others’ levels by a total of 5.

’Still not enough experience!’

"It’s over already?" Liu Xue’s beautiful eyes glittered with disbelief.

’This event quest was simpler than I imagined... No, that’s not it!’

’Su Xuan is just way stronger than I imagined!’

"Since the quest is over, I’ll be going now." Su Xuan waved his hand, preparing to leave.

’An hour-long quest finished in five minutes. That was easy~’

"Wait!"

Liu Xue suddenly ran over and handed an item to Su Xuan. "Here, this is for you. As thanks!"

"Hm?"

Su Xuan took the item from Liu Xue. It was a verdant green sprig.

"This is?"

[Elf]

(General Trait! Combining with this trait will guarantee the recruitment of an Elite-quality Adventurer!)

(Trigger: Sprig of the Elf Mother Tree)

Wow!

’It’s an Elf!’

"It’s an item I got during a quest. It doesn’t have any special effects, but it can purify turbid Magic Power and make the air in the Guild fresher," Liu Xue explained to Su Xuan.

"Thanks."

Su Xuan smiled slightly and put the sprig from the Elf Mother Tree into his inventory. Although it wasn’t a Rare Trait, the recruitable Race was just to his liking.

"Oh, right. My sister wanted me to tell you not to come to the noodle shop this weekend. We’re going to an amusement park," Liu Xue added before Su Xuan could leave.

"Oh, okay. Have fun!"

Su Xuan waved, then left the event area with Ivsha.

Liu Xue remained where she was for a moment, watching Su Xuan’s figure gradually disappear before she and her Female Elf, Vini, stepped into the Teleportation Array.

「With a flash of white light, Su Xuan returned to the Guild.」

The first order of business was to level up Ivsha and Rosaline.

Ivsha was raised by two levels, and Rosaline by three.

Experience -10,800!

In terms of benefits from leveling, Rosaline’s gains were slightly higher, but Ivsha’s Level couldn’t be neglected either.

"Hm? A letter?"

Su Xuan’s gaze suddenly fell upon the Guild’s bar counter, where a letter had appeared.

The familiar Rose emblem, the faint fragrance... ’It’s from *that* woman!?’

Su Xuan tore open the letter and began to read its contents.

[Letter:

The church, tomorrow night. I want to see you.]

Su Xuan: "?"

’This must be important!’

"Mr. Su Xuan~ Whose letter is that?"

Ivsha suddenly hugged Su Xuan tightly from behind, her soft, snowy-white assets pressing against his back, her charming tone tinged with a hint of jealousy.

She had seen letters with the Rose emblem twice now, but she still couldn’t guess who the sender was.

But most importantly, she could smell the scent of another Succubus on the letter!

’Someone’s trying to steal my meal!’
