Chapter 224: Illusion Fragrance Fairy
Since running away wasn’t an option, it was time to fight.
However, the enormous size of the Slime King put a lot of pressure on Ziyu, making it difficult for her to even swing her weapon as the distance closed in.
She was not as composed as Zichen; after all, the girl before had literally been devoured by this slime.
Thinking about it now gave her a bit of a scare.
“Brother… do you think being swallowed will be okay…?” Even though she knew it was just a game, her body couldn’t stop trembling.
“It will be fine.”
“But…”
Seeing how scared Ziyu was, Zichen remembered the courage that Starry brought him and said, “Have you forgotten about Nanase?”
“…! Hearing that long-forgotten name, Ziyu felt that the pressure she was under and the dangers she once faced in her dreams were nothing in comparison.
“I understand now…” She stood calmly in place, and when the Slime King approached, she activated her special skill.
Summon Slime!
On the plain ground ahead, countless globs of slime coalesced into a brand new slime.
Mutant Slime
Level: Blue
Level: 10
Health: 400
Physical Attack: 26-30
Magical Attack: 15-23
Physical Defense: 15
Magical Defense: 1
Skill: Slime Corrosion
Description: An entity summoned from the Slime Set, obeys any command from its master.
Its attributes are significantly weaker than the boss, and moreover, its size is only three times that of an ordinary slime.
Unlike other monsters, this slime is light blue.
The light blue jelly-like body slowly crawled over and stopped in front of Ziyu, seemingly waiting for new orders.
“Blue Sprite, help me take it down!” Ziyu shouted quietly, pointing her rolling pin at the Slime King, trying to muster her courage.
“…” As for Kurei, he was dumbfounded.
Can someone tell him what the hell this skill is?! Can untransformed players even learn skills?
If it was self-created, that would be ridiculous!
The blue and gray slimes quickly tangled with each other.
The attack patterns of these two special monsters were also different from the ordinary ones.
Like two blobs of jelly sticking together, they flipped and squeezed, trying to completely devour the other.

The rate of health loss was consistent, but the amount the blue sprite lost was ten times that of its opponent, and its body was gradually being engulfed by the boss.
Taking advantage of their entanglement, Ziyu circled behind the Slime King.
“Ah!”
Smack!

What does it feel like to be hit in the back while in the middle of a meal?
The strength of the rolling pin evenly transmitted to every part of the boss.
The blue sprite was frightened and still had 320 health left.
This strike scattered the massive body of the slime, causing it to flow everywhere like melting ice.
System Notification: “Mutant Slime King” has entered a disintegration state.
Though not entirely understanding the situation, it was undoubtedly a good opportunity to deal damage.
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!

…
Ziyu’s attack speed was quite slow, taking about three to four seconds to launch each hit, but each attack increased the boss’s disintegration state, and the blue sprite was also working hard to consume part of the enemy.
If this continued, perhaps the boss could be defeated without taking damage.
454/1000
When the slime reached half health, it suddenly sped up its coagulation, catching Ziyu off guard and gathering up more than half of itself, shrinking into a ball.
She was all too familiar with this move; it was Slime Corrosion, a skill triggered at half health.
Seeing this momentum, the area must be larger than that of ordinary slimes—oh no, she wouldn’t make it in time to escape!
…
Not long after Yanshui and Qianyan’s armies joined forces, elven reinforcements arrived.
Their footsteps were very quiet; you couldn’t hear them unless they stepped on the ground.
Not counting the player factions, the number of NPC troops was already at 5,000.
So many people in one city?
Of course not, this was the number after the entire elven race combined their forces.
The leading elf was a mature female, ten paces ahead of the formation, with long green hair gently swaying in the breeze. Her purple-blue mixed eyes revealed a calm gaze, and a lightly embroidered long skirt wrapped around her slender body, with a small wind ring woven into it with white thread.
She moved with a naturally confident elegance.
Zichen had certainly seen this NPC before, but only on the forums.
No one could see her detailed information; they only knew her title—Illusion Fragrance Fairy.
Gal frowned, seemingly unsatisfied with this reinforcements.
“What’s this! Is this all the elves can muster? It won’t even be enough to fill the gaps of the Shadow Lord!” He shouted rudely, his voice echoing to everyone present.
It had to be said, his temper was just as described—like a walking powder keg.
On the elven side, many in the ranks were already showing displeasure.
The leading Illusion Fragrance Fairy then stopped in her tracks, smiled faintly, and grasped the handle of the spirit wood spear hanging on her back.
Aimed at the humans, her fingertips flickered with magical light—she gently sent it off!
The spear tip of spirit wood crossed hundreds of paces and, in less than three seconds, rushed at high speed.
The target was… Guard Commander Gal!
However, he stood there proudly, unfazed by the incoming attack.
Phew!
At the last moment, the spearhead changed direction and buried itself into the ground nearby.
The next moment, the wooden spear began to shake violently, and a graceful elf emerged!
Gal coldly remarked, “Was that enough probing?!”
“Haha, Commander, you saw it, I wasn’t probing, it was just a convenient way to move,” the Illusion Fragrance Fairy smiled, casually hanging the spear back on her back.
“…”
“Now, allow me to explain.” Her every frown and smile seemed to tug at people’s emotions, making it feel like just looking at her brightened their mood.
“Her Majesty the Queen has commanded me to lead 5,000 elven warriors to assist you. This is already the maximum manpower we can mobilize at present; the evil trolls and ratmen are always threatening our homeland, and we must keep some behind to guard against them.”
“Hmph, is that so…” Gal said noncommittally.
“Exactly so. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Peli, but you may also call me Illusion Fragrance.”
“Commander Qianyan, Gal.” He snorted coldly while turning his gaze toward Zichen.
What are you looking at me for?
Zichen nudged Kurei, his eyes blinking continuously.
“Little Miss, your eyelids are twitching quite a bit. Is something going to happen…”
Damn! Do you know how to cooperate?!
With no choice, he had to take the plunge.
“My name is… Alna, I am the younger sister of Guard Commander Yanshui, and I joined the army this time to see the world. As for my brother, he hasn’t returned from the Imperial City yet, so his deputy is currently in charge of the army. Kurei, come here!” Zichen waved his hand.
He complied and walked over.
“This is my brother’s deputy—Kurei. You can consult him if you have anything to discuss.” After speaking, Zichen sneakily took a few steps back, planning to slip away.
“Wait.” It was Peli’s voice.
“…Did I slip up? Zichen froze in place.
“Little sister, you don’t look like someone who hasn’t seen the world before.” The Illusion Fragrance Fairy squinted her eyes, as if trying to see through the golden-haired girl.
