Reset: DPS to Support?!

Chapter 99: Sticky Situation (1)

Without wasting any time, Shinto and Ethaniel hurriedly rushed forward towards Raina as they grabbed her by the arms, in hopes of pulling her out.

"Ack... It's not budging!" Raina attempted to forcefully move her arm out of the slime. However, the force was not enough. Even with the help of the two, the slime in itself was dragging the three along.

"Argh- What the?!" Ethaniel cried out as he quickly stood his grounds in order to battle against the excessive force, though futile. "What's with this guy's strength!?"

"Gloop." The slime continued on as it ignored the weight that has been added.

"Tsk... this is hopeless," Shinto clicked his tongue as he quickly released his grip on her arm. Moments later, he quickly chanted a spell, as he shot a blinding white light over towards the slime.

[ Hallowed Crest ]

As the spell was about to reach the slime, a loud noise rang throughout the catacombs as liquid substances quickly fell to the ground, swiftly intercepting Shinto's attack.

"Ugh..." Shinto frowned at the sight. Just like the one that was dragging Raina, more slimes had appeared. However, unlike the previous one, they looked to be ferocious. "There's more of them?"

"...a-and they don't seem at all happy to see us," Kon muttered out.

"Gloop!" In the next moment, spikes formed around the surface of the slime as it shot out, quickly making its way over towards the group.

"Eeep!" Kon dodged the spikes. Quickly, he initiated a skill, swiftly sending out a quick flame in return. "Aha, take that!"

The flame quickly devoured the slime, however upon a glance at its health, Kon's flame only dealt minimalistic damage, only scrapping around 4% of its HP.

"H-Huh?" Kon blinked at the health bar.

"Gloop..." The slime jiggled as if shrugging off the attack that Kon had sent. Soon after, it leapt forward as it headed over to Kon in anger.

"...!!" Noticing the attack, Kon quickly attempted to move to the side, but, just as he was about to, his legs didn't budge. "Eh...?!" His eyes turned to the bottom as he soon took note that his paws were glued to the ground.

"Kon...!" Frey cried out as she hurriedly swooped in, quickly intercepting against the attacks coming from the slime. With her arms crossed, Frey quickly initiated her parry skill: [Parry Fist].

Tuk!

The slime collided with Frey as she was slightly pushed back. "Argh..." Standing her ground against them, she forcefully shoved forward with all her strength.

"Gloop!" Spikes protruded out from the slimes once again in defence, as it struck Frey, quickly lowering her health down towards the yellow zone. But, in return for the damage received, Frey equally countered against them, lowering 12% of their health.

"U-Um, a little help here?" Frey turned towards Ethaniel and Shinto who were still in midst of getting Raina out of danger. However, they were interrupted by the slimes which surrounded them.

"Tch, do you think we're free to help?!" Ethaniel clicked his tongue as he drew an arc, quickly slashing through the slimes. Meanwhile, from behind him, Shinto sent multiple waves of his basic attack against them.

With Shinto and Ethaniel teaming up against the slime, the two were only able to lower their health down to 40% in the time frame of Frey's struggles.

"W-Well, if you don't help, I might die here!" Frey cried out whilst continuing to parry against the onslaught of attacks that the slimes were giving. For each time they attack, Frey lowered down their health by 3% to 4%, dealing about 170 damage each time.

"This situation is a little grave..." Shinto analyzed the area whilst moving about, dodging the spikes which the slimes were spraying around. His footsteps were meticulous and skilled as he avoided the sticky substance on the floor. "But, it's doable since there's only about three of them."

"Explain further!!" Frey continued to cry out.

"We focus on an enemy at a time," Shinto calmly stated as he quickly switched his target from Ethaniel's over towards the slime which Frey was going up against. Focusing his efforts on healing up Frey whilst shooting out mana sparks.

"Hey! You want me to abandon this guy in front of me?!" Ethaniel shouted out as he noticed Shinto's abrupt switch. "He's almost dead!"

"By the time we kill the guy, Frey will die," he stated. "Besides, you can handle it on your own."

"Seriously?!" Ethaniel frowned. in the next moment, a shining bright pillar of light shone down onto the slime in front of Frey. In that second, Ethaniel rushed forward as he followed up with a normal attack. "Bah. Then get this over with!"

With their combined forces of the group, the slime was turned into grey-ash in an instant.

[ Sanke Slime Warrior has been defeated! ]

[ You have levelled up to level 22! ]

[ Kon has levelled up to level 14! ]

[ Your Divinity Stats has been increased by 1. ]

Soon after the first slime was defeated, the group shifted their target onto the one which Shinto and Ethaniel were fighting earlier, swiftly defeating them, they quickly turned to the final one.

...

[ Sanke Slime... ]

[ You have levelled up to level 23! ]

[ Kon has levelled up to level 15! ]

[ Kon has learnt the skill 'Camouflage' ]

"...phew," Shinto let out a tired breath as he turned towards the notification window. Noticing that Kon had unlocked a new skill for usage, [Camouflage]. "...?" Silently, he muttered out the skill name to check its detail.

[ Camouflage Lv 1 ] [ 40 MP ] [ Cooldown: 20 Minute ]

Enters into a camouflaged state, decreasing the ability for entities that do not have enhanced vision to see the user. When in this state, aggro and target rate is decreased by 45%.

"...camouflage huh?" Shinto's eyes widened as he read through the description. "This is good," he nodded in satisfaction as he turned towards Kon.

"Ehehe, did I do good, master?" Kon wagged his tail happily.

"I guess," he shrugged. "Though, in terms of performance... your skills and damage didn't work much on the slimes, huh?"

"...yeah," he whimpered. "My magic did nothing against them! But earlier that slime that looked exactly the same as them was vulnerable to magic!"

"Bah. It must be a different type since these guys are called 'warriors'," Ethaniel replied. "In any case, can we hurry it up already? That stupid slime is getting farther away as we speak!"

"Right, Raina!" Frey shouted out. "Where did they go?!"

"With the speed, it was going at, they shouldn't be too far from here," Shinto said. "Let's go," he gestured towards the group as they quickly rushed through the left hallway.
