Wind Slime Legion sandwich!
Fuyu was being sandwiched by the two slime legions at the same time, as their gastric acids began to slowly melt it!
However, Fuyu wouldn't let itself be eaten alive, as it quickly began to fire icicle spears in all directions, hitting the slime legions multiple times!
Although icicle spears are physical attacks, they are made of magic, so the physical damage immunity that the slimes have only lowered a bit of its damage dealt, but these powerful attacks are effectively and slowly tearing them down!
Bad choice slimes, you literally just gave yourselves away, tsk, tsk.
"How about this… Mold Beast!"
Suddenly, Benladann unleashes a new Mold Magic spell I had never seen before, where she gathers a lot of mold made through magic and then the mold takes the form of a wolf, leaping over the wind slime legions and beginning to devour the slime!
It shapeshifts and grows bigger the more mass it absorbs from the slimes, it is truly quite terrifying!
It expands and even pops up crimson-red eyes and more tentacles, becoming more monstrous…
The Wind Slime Legion suffers many casualties as the slimes they're made of beginning falling one by one, having their mana cores easily shattered!
Yuki quickly acts as well, as she uses her sharp metallic blades to slice through the mana cores, rolling over their slimy bodies using her Snowball Roll Ability.
The moment I reached Fuyu, the Slime Legions were already massacred.
"Phew, good work everyone, it seems that it wasn't much of a big deal," I said, quickly getting inside the fortress.
"Not much of a big deal? I got melted!" said Fuyu.
"It's barely superficial, and you will regenerate naturally anyways, don't be such a drama queen," I sighed.
"D-Drama queen?! Ugh, fine," sighed Fuyu.
"Haha… Come on don't fight, let's celebrate our victory! Maybe we can finally make jelly with all of this slime… Let's go pick it up," said Benladann.
"I was thinking the same, let's go pick up everything for now," I said.
We quickly flew down as Fuyu landed gently over the snow. We began to quickly collect the loot, which was more like just slime and their mana cores, there were no special items or something, this wasn't a VRMMO after all.
As many as I ate, I never got their wind-related offensive abilities… Perhaps it was because my Wind Magic is like the same?
Until I discovered something, I was actually learning them! The Abilities Slimes had as offensive wind spells were being engraved into my mind, the moment I used Wind Magic, I was able to easily conjure them in a flash, not even a thought was needed!
Ding!
<The Level of [Wind Magic: Level 9] has increased!>
<The [Wind Magic: Level 10] has awakened into the [Storm Magic: Level 1] Skill!>
About time. My Wind Magic just awakened into a greater version, just like all the versions that Ice Magic had that were shown to me when I died, this also happened here, as it became Storm Magic!
I felt the changes almost immediately. The wind had suddenly become more "robust" as if it were supercharged with power, alongside that, the wind turned from transparent to clear-green, and its slicing potential increased.
Alongside that, I became way better at using it.
I do wonder if I could get other elements… Perhaps if I eat some kind of Fire Monster, I can get something like Fireball? Or just straight-up Fire Magic?
Perhaps I won't even be an ice dragon and I will turn into an almighty Omni Dragon!
Well, it is nice to dream…
Wait, System, can that happen?
<Answer: Not enough information to calculate an answer>
Hahh… I guess I shouldn't get my hopes up for asking you things I don't know about.
Anyways, as I eat more Mana Cores and collect slime with Benladann, I checked the new Skills with Analyze.
…
[Emerald Winds Aura: Level 1]
Using your connection with Wind, unleash a powerful Aura of Wind Attribute across your body, enhancing your physical and magical capabilities while creating permeable coverture of winds around your body. Intensity increases with Magic Stat and Skill Level.
[Wind Spirit Blessing: Level 1]
The Skill given to someone blessed by a Wind Spirit, enhances the user's damage dealt using Wind Attribute, while also increasing the resistance against it by Skill Level and Magic Stat.
…
Oh! These Skills seem pretty interesting, Wind Aura is activated right away, as I see emerald winds flowing over my entire body constantly, this was really like an Aura!
It also felt like my dexterity increased by a decent amount, and I felt more agile and weightless.
And the Wind Spirit Blessing seems to be a passive skill, it seems nice, though I wonder where the heck did a Wind Spirit came from and just blessed some random Slime King?
I didn't even know the concept of Spirits was in this world, but I guess it could be rather obvious…
System, can we find anything about spirits?
<Answer: Analyzing…>
Ding!
<Spirits>
Spirits are mythical beings predominantly made of mana and soul energy. Spirits represent a certain element and are capable of maintaining the elements around their surroundings, nourishing the world, and making it overflow with elements.
When a place lacks spirits, it means that it is dying and becoming a wasteland.
…
That seems to be all we were able to get through Analyze… but it is good enough.
So Spirits are entities made of elements that enhance the elements around their surroundings… So I guess this entire place is filled with ice spirits? And then the sky has wind spirits… I guess?
I still don't know where they might be unless they are completely invisible to the naked eye.
But through Paranormal Senses, I should be able to see them… and there's none around.
Well, aside from the feast of souls I am having!
My soul is growing bigger and bigger, I am already increasing my Soul Cultivation as I speak!
Ding!
