Dark Ruler - Chapter53

Jenn wasn't interested in the passionate sparks that would happen between the Humans and the Gray Dwarves.

He wasn't a control maniac. As long as the Humans, the Gray Dwarves, and the Black Agate Castle were together, the development of the situation would be as simple as a bead falling from the table.

Of course, it wouldn't matter even if there were any accidents.

The Demon Race firmly believed that any new problems would lead to the development of things in the right direction.

And now, Jenn found something even more interesting.

"This is your new invention?"

Standing in the workshop and looking at the "soft" thing in front of him, Zayen raised his eyebrows curiously, then looked at Bikers next to him.

Upon sensing Jenn's gaze, the young Gnome smiled and nodded at Jenn.

"Yes, Master.

This is my latest invention … Gel Golem.

It's made from the extract of the Black Illusion Mushroom in the Underdark and some Magical Materials. I think it will be able to help you defend the Dungeon effectively. "

This is interesting.

Jenn stroked his chin as he gazed at the "Gel Golem".

The reason why he came to the workshop to see Piccolo was that he received a notification from the system that Piccolo had created a new item.

As a Gnome craftsman, Piccolo was proficient in both architecture and engineering. In fact, Jenn admired her talent in architecture more.

After all, the Dungeon needed to expand its space for development, and the only one among Jenn's subordinates who knew how to dig holes without collapsing them was Piccolo.

But since the little fellow wanted him to do something else, Zayen did not mind.

Anyway, Piccolo couldn't escape from him, so he let her be.

But after seeing Piccolo's little invention, Jenn was slightly surprised.

On the metal table in front of Jenn, there was a soft, green, jelly-like object lying there.

It looked about a meter wide and about half a person's height. From afar, it looked like a replica of the jelly and cotton candy that Zayen once tasted when he was a child — no, it would be more appropriate to say that it was a slime.

But … how could this thing be called a golem?

It wasn't like Jenn hadn't seen golems before. They were sold in the Demon World, and there were also golem guards in the Myriad Demon Palace.

The advanced golems were actually no different from the super robots that Jenn had seen in the movies. Not only could they distinguish between friend and foe, but they could also fly and release magic attacks to a certain extent. It could be said that they were the magical version of intelligent robots.

Even the low-level golems had extremely hard bodies and fists. More importantly, the golems were immune to magic, and they were often used to deal with Mages.

But …

Jenn carefully looked at the so-called 'golem' in front of him. What can this cotton candy without hands and feet do?

"Yes, it's like this, Master!"

Perhaps sensing Jenn's suspicious gaze, Piccolo hurriedly waved her hands and explained to him anxiously.

"Don't be fooled by Greenie's weak appearance, but it's actually very powerful.

Due to various reasons, I can't create an ordinary golem for the time being.

But if this golem that I've modified is used to guard the dungeon, it will be very useful! "

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jenn suddenly became interested. He knew Piccolo very well.

Although this little gnome was very obedient, she had always been afraid of him and never dared to make him angry. She was afraid that he would catch her and roast her to eat (although Jenn couldn't bear to do so).

Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for her to tease him. Since she was so confident in her invention, there must be something unique about it.

"Tell me about it."

"Ah, yes, it's like this."

Upon hearing Jenn's words, Piccolo heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she hurried to Jenn's side, picked up a metal stick, and pointed to the 'slime' in front of her. Then, she explained to Jenn.

According to Piccolo, this' slime 'used the condensed secretion of a special mushroom in the Underdark called the Black Illusion Mushroom.

The Black Illusion Mushroom was a very peculiar plant in the Underdark. It was called a mushroom because it looked like a mushroom.

However, the Black Illusion Mushroom's hunting method was more similar to pitcher plants.

They grew in layers on the walls of the Gloomy Region. From the outside, they looked no different from the pitch-black walls of the cave.

However, if a prey was caught off guard and leaned against the stone wall, it would be swallowed by the Black Illusion Mushroom as though it had fallen into a soft sponge.

At the same time, the Black Illusion Mushroom would secrete a kind of gel that wrapped the prey up like a spider. Then, it would slowly devour the prey and hide under the pitch-black exterior. Afterward, it would absorb the prey's nutrients until it turned into a pile of bones.

And the main raw material of Piccolo's' slime 'was this secretion.

It was soft, sticky, and not easily destroyed.

Besides, this secretion also had a common characteristic of all creatures in the Underdark: it was extremely resistant to magic, and ordinary magic spells wouldn't work on it at all.

But on the other hand, not only could this secretion entangle the prey tightly, but it could also quickly corrode the hard shell of the prey. Whether it was leather armor, armor, or even magical equipment, it was difficult to escape this corrosion.

If it were a Black Illusion Mushroom, it would begin to absorb the prey's flesh and blood as nutrients after corroding the prey's shell.

But now, this Slime was purely condensed from the Black Illusion Mushroom's secretion and didn't have its own consciousness, so it didn't have that ability.

After listening to Piccolo's explanation, Jenn understood the effects of this Slime. To put it bluntly, this thing could be placed in the labyrinth to effectively stop intruders. Besides, it could also disarm and subdue the enemy without a fight. After all, this Slime was more flexible than rubber and ordinary weapons couldn't harm it at all. Even magic spells were rarely effective.

Besides, this Slime could also grow stronger as it devoured more prey. It seemed like this was a good thing.

Besides, even though this gel could solidify one's body, it wouldn't suffocate, which was the best way to capture enemies alive.

"So, how do we order it?"

"This …"

Hearing this, Piccolo finally showed a depressed expression.

"This … It can't be ordered."

"Huh?"

According to Piccolo's explanation, even though she named this thing as a 'golem', all golems, regardless of high or low level, had a 'core', which was also the most important part of a golem.

But with Piccolo's current skill level, she couldn't create a core yet. So to put it bluntly, this Slime was simply an attack without any consciousness and was no different from a trap tool.

It would be triggered when touched and activated when detected.

Other than that, it wouldn't take the initiative to attack or distinguish between friend and foe. It was just like how a kitchen knife couldn't distinguish its owner.

"It doesn't matter."

Jenn didn't mind at all. This kind of Slime could be used as a trap.

Besides, no magic core meant that it had no weaknesses, so it wouldn't be easy to destroy it.

Thinking of this, Zayen suddenly thought of something, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

"But then again, Piccolo … Any invention must go through rigorous scientific proof and practice, right?"

"Huh?"

Upon hearing Jenn's words, Piccolo was taken aback. She widened her eyes in confusion and gazed at Jenn as though she didn't understand what he was talking about. However, Jenn didn't need to explain it to her. After all, facts spoke louder than words.

"… So, you called me here for this lousy thing?"

Standing in a corner of the training ground, Verna placed her hands on her hips and glared at Jenn in dissatisfaction.

In front of her, the soft Slime was still bouncing up and down, looking as smooth and delicious as jelly. She couldn't help but want to take a bite out of it.

"Give it a try. This is Piccolo's proudest creation. It's not worse than yours at all."

"Hmph!"

Upon hearing Jenn's words, Verna let out a snort and glared at Piccolo, who stood trembling beside Jenn.

As a dark elf, Verna naturally had the pride of a dark elf. Now that she heard Jenn say that she wasn't even as good as the Dwarf's messy creation, she was displeased.

She went up to the Slime immediately and stared at it. Then, she unsheathed her rapier and slashed diagonally at the Slime.

According to Verna's expectations, this slash was enough to split the Slime in half.

But to her surprise, the instant the rapier came into contact with the Slime, it encountered a tremendous resistance. As a result, Verna's rapier stopped midway.

"This … Hmph …!"

Looking at this scene, Verna's expression changed slightly.

Dark elves weren't a powerful race to begin with. Their swordsmanship focused more on speed than strength.

At that moment, upon witnessing her rapier being sucked in, Verna extended her hand and attempted to pull it out.

But she didn't expect that she would poke a hornet's nest.

The moment Verna pulled out her rapier, the motionless Slime abruptly stood up and grew in size like a surging wave in the ocean, before crashing down heavily.

Before Verna realized what was happening, the Slime pounced on her and devoured her instantly.

"W-Wait! What the hell is this?!

Let me go! "

Verna didn't expect such a strange creature to exist. She struggled frantically in an attempt to break free from the slime's slimy body.

But she didn't expect that she would sink deeper and deeper into the Slime.

Not only did the dark elf fail to free herself from the predicament, but she was also wrapped tighter by the Slime. In just a few moments, only her head was left.

"Say, what are you two looking at? Hurry up … Ugh … Ugh …!"

Before Verna finished her sentence, she was completely devoured by the Slime.

At that moment, the dark elf widened her eyes and struggled with all her might, but to no avail.

On the contrary, her clothes began to disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Verna's leather armor wasn't an ordinary mercenary's attire. But even so, it couldn't stop the Slime's corrosion. In just a few minutes, her clothes were tattered, revealing her slender legs, soft, slender abdomen, and body that was brimming with the beauty of a dark elf before Jenn.

At that moment, Verna became strange. She no longer struggled.

What replaced it was Verna twisting her body and a blush appeared on her beautiful, dark jade-like face. Zayen could even sense that her body would twitch every once in a while.

"Ugh … Ah … Hurry … Let me out … Haa … Haa … Don't come in … Damn it, this damn thing … No …"

This scene is so familiar …

"Bikers, what else did you add to this thing?"

"Ah, by the way, Master.

In order to prevent them from breaking free, I added bloodvine pollen into Little Green's body … "

"…"

If I recall correctly, that thing seems to have an aphrodisiac effect …

"Alright, I've seen its actual effects with my own eyes. Very good."

Shifting his gaze away from the dark elf who had lost her self-consciousness, Jenn clapped his hands in satisfaction.

"Bikers, I want three boxes of this Slime!"

"No problem, Master. As long as I have enough time, I think I can create enough Little Green."

"That's good … By the way, how do I get her out of this thing?"

"… This … I haven't thought about it …"

"You damn bast * rds …!"
