Kill the Sun - Chapter 362

Chapter 362 Chapter 362 – Small Slimes

Nick left Dark Dream again and ran towards the bridge.

He had been in the building for barely a couple of minutes, and the guards didn't even ask Nick any questions.

But the same thing wasn't true for the two Experts guarding the other side.

"You going out again?" one of them asked with raised brows.

Nick had just brought back a Specter, and he wanted to get even more?

That was the seventh Specter that had been caught within the last two years, the sixth one having been caught just a couple of days ago in the outside world.

Usually, Extractors didn't immediately run out to get another Specter after they just got one.

"You saw what I had," Nick commented.

"Right. Makes sense," the guard said.

Nick just ran down the corridor and entered the outside world again.

The four Veterans guarding the outside just looked on as Nick jumped into the valley.

As soon as Nick rounded the first corner in the valley, his ability reactivated, and he charged forward with much more speed.

'No one is following me,' Nick thought as he continued. nove(l)bi(n.)com

After rounding another corner, Nick's ability deactivated again, and he grew quite annoyed.

It was another one of the slimes.

'The forest is like four kilometers away, and I really don't want to lure it that far away.'

Nick just charged forward, right at the slime.

Naturally, the slime also charged at Nick.

SHING!

Nick's blades came out, and he immediately cut several of the long arms off.

This slime was barely on the level of an Adolescent, which made it far weaker than Nick, but the slimes were still very robust and difficult to kill.

A thrown spear would just shoot through it, coming out the other side without stopping the slime for long.

The issue was that these slimes had no vital organs.

There was no core or anything similar to that.

Even more, if a slime was cut in half, both halves would gain new "consciousnesses" and act autonomously from each other.

After Nick rounded the next corner, the slimes started to slow down.

They had lost their target.

They immediately started to search for more life but couldn't find any.

So, they just started to slowly move in random directions, splitting up.

Some of them would vanish in forests.

Some of them would fall into the Crimson Sea.

Many of them would eventually meet other Extractors with abilities that could actually kill them.

Just because Nick couldn't kill them didn't mean that other Extractors couldn't.

Jason, Petra, and Clayton could use their abilities to turn these small slimes into nothingness.

As long as one could remove the Zephyx that made up their bodies, they would vanish.

Sadly, Nick didn't have that ability.

After about half a minute, he reached the Swallowing Swamp again.

Nick's four Extractors were standing in a group, and when they saw him, they all turned to him.

"Did everything go well?" Jenny asked.

Nick nodded. "The Spilling Bottle is in the last Containment Unit on the second floor."

Then, he turned to the others. "I want to find another Specter. The city has only recently allowed Extractors to go outside again, and I want to make use of that fact."

"By using us as bait," Clayton said.

Nick looked at Clayton. "That is the agreement," he said, "but I will protect you with all of my power."

"I understand," Clayton said with a neutral voice. "It was not meant as a dig."

Nick nodded. "Are you guys ready?"

The group nodded back.

"Then, let's continue," Nick said as he turned towards the north. "I want to take a look at the mountain east of the city."

When the others heard that, they became a bit nervous.

It was possible that there were Specters on the mountain, but that wasn't the scary part.

The scary part was the mountain's elevation.

It was only about 300 meters high, but that was still high enough to see the Crimson Sea.

And naturally, nobody wanted to see the Crimson Sea.
