10 - Slime Cave Dungeon & Boss
Killing Slime after Slime, they moved forward through the forest.

They quickly adapted to fighting three at a time moving quickly.
"So why is it called Slime Cave and not Forest?" Michael asked leaving the research to Victor.
"Because the Dungeon is spilt into two stages, the forest and the cave. After making our way through the forest we will have to fight a boss before we can enter the cave." Victor replied while opening his notepad which held the information he had found about this Dungeon.
"We only really have to worry about three things, one the first boss which is a Wind Slime which will be our biggest challenge. Then there's meant to be some Poison Slimes which I'll have to fight alone as you aren't suited to fight them." Victor started to explain some important points.
"What's the last?" Michael asked as he killed another Slime.
[ Slime (Lvl 10) Killed + 110 XP ]
"The last is the final boss a Metal Slime, it has some powerful physical defense for a tier 0 Monster but luckily for us and the reason we shouldn't have any problem is that we have the Abilities that counter it." Victor explained as they soon found one of the difficult monsters he just talked about.
"Hey isn't that?" Michael pointed in front of them.

"Huh, well I'll take care of them." Victor ordered his Skeletons to attack so the Slimes would use their ranged attacks.
The Slimes shot out a ball of poison each hitting a Skeleton but something unexpected occurred as instead of taking damage from the poison it didn't even faze them.
Quickly the Skeletons got within range and started to attack. As the Poison Slimes climbed and stuck to the Skeletons attacking them with their poison bodies but once again it did nothing.
"Hey are they immune to poison?" Michael asked confused.
Quickly realizing this Victor ordered the Skeletons to grab the Slime Cores and pull them away.
"Quick break the Cores." Victor said seeing the Skeletons hold the cores.
Michael charged forwards and crushed the Cores with his boot after the Skeletons brought their cores out of their bodies.

"That was easy, ha I wish we'd run into more." Michael Said happily.
Victor nodded his head as they continued through the forest looking for the Cave entrance.
Moving forward they killed dozens of different types of Slimes and even though the Slimes are higher leveled, Victor and Michael didn't have much issues as their teamwork improved allowing them to easily advance.
It wasn't long before they arrived at their destination, Hiding they looked over to the cave entrance where a giant White Slime was waiting.
[ *Boss* Wind Slime (Advanced) - Lvl 10 ]
"Ok so this will be a hard fight as it is quick and fast compared to other Slimes, it also has three abilities with two of them being attacks Spells." Victor opened his notepad once more to go over the information he had.
"It's three skills are Wind Bullet, Wind Blade and Winds Grace, Wind Bullet is a range attack of spinning condensed wind, Wind Blade is it's strongest attack and something you'll have to watch out for, it is a sharp blade made of Wind Mana that shoots forward cutting anything in it's way." Victor warned Michael about it's two main skills.
"Got it, so watch out for Wind Blade and Wind Bullet but what about Winds Grace?" Michael seriously listened as so far not once has Victor been wrong in Michael's life so he trusts him to make the right judgement.
"Winds Grace isn't a attack ability but a support one and it's most annoying part of it for us, as after using it the Boss will get a 50% increase in speed for 30 seconds, this is what makes it the hardest as the Boss's agility will exceed yours." Victor spoke seriously not leaving out even a detail about the Boss's abilities.
"During the duration of Winds Grace I'll stop it with Undeath Flame before sending my Skeletons to take agro. I'll use Undeath Flame to give you openings but you will have to keep agro or... well we won't talk about that." Victor explained the game plan.
"Got it" Michael stood up and got ready to fight.
"Ok, let's do this, and remember watch out for Wind Bullet as you charge, it has quite a bit of punch behind it at our strength." Victor said one last warning before they went to kill their first Boss.
The Boss moved sensing Michael as he ran forwards, the boss made a mouth on its body before shooting a ball of condensed wind at the charging knight who raised his shield to block.
{Wind Bullet}
Halting Michael's charge momentarily as he was pushed back from the force but that didn't stop him.
Reaching the Boss Michael attacked.
{Death Slash}
Cutting off a section of the Boss but unlike other Slimes it quickly rejoined back into it's body.
This caused Michael's eyes to widen slightly but got over it quickly.
The Boss jumped at him trying to swallow him but was stopped by Victor using Undeath Flame.
Knowing that the Boss will change targets Michael attacked hitting the core but only causing slight chipping to the Core.
'It's hard!' Michael screamed internally.
The Boss once again focused on Michael as a white light shined off of the Boss.
Seeing this Victor yelled at Michael.
"Wind Blade! I'll interrupt it!" Hearing this Michael didn't panic and attacked trusting Victor.
{Undeath Flame}
The Ball of green black fire flew at the Slime right before it finished Wind Blade hitting it in the face.
"Roaaarrr." The Slime Boss trembled and screamed in pain a green and black fire covered the Boss's body damaging it's Life Force, combined with the backlash of failing it's spell caused the Boss to take massive damage.
{Death Slash}
Michaels sword covered in black mana slashed the Boss's core cracking it, almost destroying it.
Weakened the boss used it's final skill Winds Grace but before it could counter attack it was hit with another ball of fire stopping it once more.
{Undeath Flame}
Using this chance instead of retreating, Michael slashed once more accurately hitting the core on the crack breaking the core in two.
[ *Boss* Wind Slime (Lvl 10) Killed + 350 XP ]
The Boss gave one last screech before dieing, the Boss's body disappeared and left loot on the ground in it's place.
Michael sat down and rested as Victor went forward to check the loot.
[Obtained: Complete Wind Slime Core × 1, Wind Shard × 10, Skill Book (Air Bullet), Boots of Lightness (Iron)]
"We got some good stuff." Victor smiled in happiness.

[Skill Book: Air Bullet]
(Learn the Wind Spell Air Bullet upon use)
[Conditions Not Fulfilled]
"Huh conditions not fulfilled?" Victor became confused upon seeing this as he only knew that there should be Requirements on higher tier spells and nothing on low level spells.
Thinking slightly he handed the Skill Book over to Michael.
"Does it say conditions not fulfilled? or does it allow you too use it?" Victor asked.
"Huh, well it says I can learn it?" Michael answered not understanding why Victor asked.
"Hmm, ok pass it back and you can have these boots." Victor handed the new boots over while taking the Skill Book back.
He stared at it for a few seconds before putting it into his backpack.
Looking over to the Cave entrance the barrier had disappeared allowing them to continue further into the Dungeon.
After resting Michael as well Victor got up and brushed themselves off before entering the Cave.
Victor pulled out a few Lamps out of Michael's backpack and gave them to five of the Skeletons, two in the front and back with the last next to Michael and Victor.
Lighting up the Cave and allowing them to see.
"Ah, I'm so glad that I have Victor the Wise, man you really think of everything! Now I don't have to carry a stupid touch, flashlight or damn lamp. I can still fight at full power without worrying about not seeing anything." Michael praised Victor full of happiness at the convenience of having walking lamps.
It wasn't long before they found their first Slimes in the cave.
