BOOOOMMM!!!
The powerful Shield that Drake summoned to aid Hector unleashed a powerful explosion of mes through its own Ability "me Barrier". Despite the normal-sounding name, this ability had the power of absorbing the blows of enemies and then, when it was activated, it would unleash all this power umted into an explosion of mes that would also generate a barrier to give an extrayer of protection to the wielder of the shield! Of course, the barrier onlysted a few seconds, as its primary effect was this me burst, in fact!
"Gruoooohhhhh…!"
The Miasmic Slime was consumed by the mes, as it quickly turned into ashespletely, it was finally defeated, and what left behind was a big, ck-colored core falling over the floor and rolling around, it slowly emanated a strong aura of dread and chaos, which Drake immediately noticed.
"This thing… It is not really a slime, isn''t it?" Asked Drake in surprise, as Hector sighed in relief, resting over the floor while sighing, moving away the massive tower shield.
"Ugh… And you''re certainly not a normal slime either!" He cried.
"Hahaha! I guess you could say that!" Laughed Drake.
"…W-Whatever you are, you have my gratitude… I almost died there, I really thought I was going to die without ever seeing her again…" Sighed Hector.
Drake heard Hector''s words, as he decided to use this Slime Clone as an alter-ego instead of his own true self, without revealing his rue identity to Hector. After all this slime also had a different soul, it was a small soul fragment from his original soul, which was also sharing his own mind at this moment, but it could be said that it was technically not him… In the most technical of levels.
"Ah, I am d you''re a grateful man." Said Drake. "I am… the servant of my Lord, I have sent here to monitor you guards, but over time, I grew fond of you, it wasn''t within my duties to help you, but I decided to do it because you gave me the feeling you were a good person."
"E-Eh? I see… W-What sort of lord tamed you? And how can a slime so small have such powers?" He asked.
"Stop asking questions!" Said Drake, as he quickly moved the topic to what was urring right now in front of the two!
"Ah…!"
SPLASH!
SPLASH!
SPLASH!
Without even giving Hector a minute for a break, threerge Miasmic Slimes of almost the same size as the previous one fell from the sky, as if some sort of catapult sent them here! All three of them sttered over the ground rather uglily, but quickly gathered themselves once more into the intimidating masses of ck gooey miasma.
"S-Shit… Ugh… I can barely move." Muttered Hector, slowly standing up.
"Your body is pretty beaten up, yeah…" Said Drake, quickly sprinkling some ice dust over hector, which was actually a healing spell, Healing Cooling Winds, which slowly began to recover Hector''s superficial wounds, stopping his blood loss…
"A-Amazing you can even heal? I also have healing spells but I had no mana…" Sighed Hector.
"More importantly, your friend reached the gate! Also, my master and hispanions are already outside of the vige, a few of them are rushing here as well! We''ll handle things from all perimeters, so don''t worry, we won''t let any chaotic creature step into this innocent vige where the cute Bedra had enjoyed her favorite orange pie!" Said Drake, as Hector suddenly got confused about what the slime was even talking about, but by hearing thatpanions and his "lord" whoever that lord could be wereing to help, he quickly smiled and nodded.
"Hector!!!"
Suddenly, Brace came back from the gate, rushing outside of the gate with dozens of other soldiers, and even many sect disciples too!
"Brace! You''re back with reinforcements!" Said Hector, filling himself with hope.
"FIRE!"
And then, from atop the wooden walls, dozens of archers loaded their bows with magic, as mages also pointed their staffs at the enemies, not only soldiers or sect disciples were here, but various famous magician adventurers that were resting here!
FLASH! FLASH! FLASH!

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
Magic of all colors and magic-infused arrows began to fall from the sky, reaching the three Miasmic Slimes and bombarding them with powerful magical attacks! The strong yet gtinous bodies of the slimes trembled, many of them sttering over the floor to slowly attempt to gather themselves once more into apact form.
"Continue firing!" Roared Brace, reaching his friend, and quickly giving him a blue potion.
"Drink? this mana potion! You did well resisting for so long- What the heck is that spear?!" Asked Brace in shock, as he then noticed a small blue slime sitting atop the head of Hector. "And that slime? What''s that monster doing over your head?!"
"I am not a simple slime!" Proimed the small blue slime.
"It can speak?!" Cried Brace, almost about to get a stroke out of the many surprises he was having today…
"Ah… I don''t even know very well but… Erm, I tamed it or something, and I got this spear from… The slime itself." Said Hector.
"What kind of nonsense are you talking about? Ah, it doesn''t matter, we can worry about thister, let''s fight!" Said Brace. "How did you dealt with that thing though?"
"Those things are weak to light, it startles them, they''re very strong, probably around Rank 3 when going all out, but they''re slow moving when they get startled by the light!" Said Hector.
"Light…!" Said Brace. "But there is no other light users than you, actually, not even the adventurers joining us today…" Brace suddenly noticed that the Miasmic Slimes bodies were recovering already from their wounds, it seemed that the desperate attacks from soldiers and adventurers was only partially working, as the slimes were relentlessly healing themselves, growing more furious with each passing second and rushing towards them!
"Fight from a long distance, don''t get closer, those things can digest metal in seconds!" Said Hector, moving to the front. "I''ll use my light to startle them!"
