Chapter 25 Slime king 2

The other two fired their goo towards Ray, dodging the attacks. He charged towards the slimes. He had an advantage over them, which was his swiftness.

In just a second, he arrived in front of the slimes. Using only one of his spears felt strange as he was already used to using both.

*Bang*

He destroyed the slime's core instantly, but his spear couldn't pass through its body as it turned into a liquid substance that hardened quickly.

Now both of his weapons were stuck and glued to the ground by the slime's body. In the meantime, the remaining slime moved away from Ray.

He tried to remove the spear, but it was completely stuck. The last slime split its body into three parts again, but now they were about the size of regular slimes.

'Activate power punch.'

*Boom*

Ray's punch broke the slime hardening freeing his spear. The slime seeing this fused back together with the others, including hardened ones, they turned back into a liquid and got absorbed by the slime king.

Ray's second spear appeared in his hands just as the king slime was back in its complete form. The king slime contracted as hands formed from both sides of the king slime.

"I thought slimes didn't have hands in video games," Ray muttered as he moved back a little just in case the slime king made any sudden movement.

Observing the Boss, Ray noticed a crack in the core of the slime king, 

"I killed two of his parts when he split. That must have caused the crack."

The slime king waved its hands at Ray, evading the attack by jumping over its arms. Then, while in the air, he launched a spear at the slime king's core in retaliation. The spear traveled straight at the cracked crystal but passed through it, doing no damage.

Ray was shocked at what happened, and as he looked for the core, he noticed that it wasn't there anymore but was now at the top of the slime king, 

"it can move its core around his body. Why didn't I think of that?" Ray mumbled as he moved out of reach of the slime's arms.

The slime king joined its hands together without being bothered in the slightest by being impaled only a second ago.

'What is it doing?' Ray thought as he brought back his second spear.

*Swoosh*

The slime king fired a ball of acid towards Ray. The acid moved at breathtaking speed. Trying his best to dodge the ball of acid, he almost escaped it, but he was a little too slow, so he still got some on his shoulder.

"Argh!" Ray shouted as he felt a burning sensation as the acid ate into his shoulder. He cast light heal on his shoulder, neutralizing it, but the searing pain remained.

The slime king has three skills in total:

[Spilt body] This ability help the slime king to split his body into parts and rearrange them.

[Core movement] The slime king can move its core to any part of his body anytime he wants.

[acid shot] Fire extremely corrosive acid from the tip of both hands joined together.

The slime king's acid shot is at a much higher level than the goo fired by the other slimes.

Ray felt extreme pain in his shoulder and the surrounding area. This was the first time something like that had happened to him. Despite the repeated use of light heal, the pain didn't reduce at all.

The slime king was ready to fire another shot at Ray as he noticed Ray dashing towards a pillar in the room, he quickly dived behind it before the slime king could fire his acid.

The room had four pillars, one on each side of the room. As the acid splashed against the pillar, it melted a small part of it.

Ray breathed heavily as he thought hard about what he could do. Still, nothing seemed like it could work. as nothing came to Ray's mind, he looked at his pet at the back of another pillar near the magic circle. It was terrified as it looked at Ray.

The slime king hadn't shot another ball of acid all this time, so Ray decided to look at what the slime king was doing. It looked like it was preparing to fire an enormous amount of acid at the pillar he was hiding behind.

Seeing this, Ray mustered his strength and jumped out of the pillar just before the acid could hit.

*Boom*

The acid covered and melted the pillar almost entirely. 

Losing support, the ceiling cracked where the pillar once was, letting sand pour into the room.

Looking at the sand, an idea came to Ray's mind. Not waiting for Ray, the slime king separated his hands and charged at Ray, moving its core to its back so Ray wouldn't be able to touch it.

"It looked like he exhausted his power," Ray said as he ran towards the next pillar and prayed for his plan to work.

Throwing a punch at Ray, the creature attacked, but Ray dodged using the pillar as his cover and moving in all directions to avoid the slime king's attacks. 

After being unable to hit Ray, the slime king got fed up with his tricks and used both hands to destroy the pillar.

*Boom*

The ground and ceiling shook as the second pillar crumbled. Then, having lost another support post, a large chunk of stone fell from the roof, landing in the center of the room.

Having to carry the ceiling alone, the remaining pillars could not hold the weight and started to crack.

Ray sprinted towards the other side of the room, and the slime king followed. 

As the ceiling stopped cracking, it looked like his plan had failed, but Ray wasn't giving up.

Using the large stone from the pillar, Ray activated his power punch and jumped. Then, using his strength, he delivered a powerful strike to the ceiling, breaking the delicate balance it managed to achieve.

Half of the ceiling, including where the slime king was, cracked, fell, and crashed into the ground. Ray was unable to control himself in mid-air as he fell down. 

Before being utterly squashed, the slime king fired one last shot of acid towards Ray, hitting him right in the stomach.

The ceiling caved in entirely, giving the slime king the rest finishing it off, killing it in the process. 

Ray used light heal to stop the acid, but he wasn't sure he would survive as one of the stones from the ceiling fell onto his legs, pulverizing them, so he was stuck there.
