Words : 1042 Updated : Sep 10th, 2025

With the document from the Explorer Association, I was able to easily make my way into the dungeon.There was only a single person who was guarding this dungeon, which went to show just how little they cared about this dungeon. Or it could even be said that this was a show of just how little danger there was here. When the guard saw the document that I had, he just waved his hand for me to go in on my own. Even though the Explorer Association seemed a bit hands off, I had to admit that the influence that they had wasn't small. With the document from the Explorer Association, I had been able to get free transport and was allowed to enter the dungeon without a single word. That was just how much power the governments had already given the Explorer Association. After entering the dungeon, there was a strange look that appeared on my face. That was because this place didn't seem like a dungeon at all. As far as the eye could see, there was just grass and open sky. It seemed like a wide open field rather than what a dungeon would feel like. But this was the dungeon that I chose. This was the Slime Hole. As if to prove that this was the right place, there was a slime that suddenly jumped out of nowhere. I had no idea where it came from, it was almost as if it had suddenly popped out of the ground with the way that it had appeared like this. Even though I knew that this slime was a monster, I couldn't help finding this little slime a bit cute. It was a small round ball of liquid that was just bouncing up and down, it almost looked harmless with the appearance that it had. Of course, I knew better than that. It even seemed like the slime wanted to prove that it was dangerous, so it suddenly shot out a stream of liquid at me. I immediately dodged out of the way and couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief when I saw the reaction that the liquid had when it touched the ground. There was smoke that started coming up from the grass that had been drenched in that liquid. That was because this liquid was actually acid. Even though the slimes seemed harmless, they were actually balls that were filled with acid. It was to the point where even the surface of these slimes would be covered in acid. Just touching them would result in severe burns. So I knew better than to let my guard down. "Stop it." The moment that I said this, the Echo Bat that had been flying over me suddenly opened its mouth and let out a silent screech. Then once this screech was released, the slime suddenly froze in place. As I watched this happen, there was a part of me that wondered… "What does it use to hear the sound?" The slime was nothing more than a sack of liquid with a core in the center, so it didn't seem like there was anything that it could use to hear the sound. Was it vibrations through the liquid that brought the sound to the core where it processed it? As this thought passed through my mind, there were more slimes that appeared around me. They had appeared in the same way as the first slime, they had all suddenly come out of the ground. This time, I didn't even need to give an order to the Echo Bat for it to stop them in place as soon as they appeared. Just like this, I stood there surrounded by slimes that were frozen in place. Slowly, I came back to my senses and said, "Control them." The Echo Bat just gave another screech and then the slimes suddenly surrounded me. Though they didn't come close enough that they would touch me, they just bounced up and down in place around me as if they were happy to see me. I didn't reach out to touch them either since I knew the dangers of touching the slimes, but I couldn't help feeling that they were cute with the way that they bounced around me. While this was all happening, there were more slimes that appeared outside of the circle of slimes that were around me. They didn't seem to approach when they found that I was already surrounded by slimes. It seemed that slimes did have their own circle where they respected boundaries, they didn't steal prey from each other.

I said in a simple voice which made the Echo Bat let out another screech. This time, the slimes that were being controlled by the Echo Bat reacted completely differently. They suddenly started shaking and then jumped away from me. They were targeting the other slimes that had appeared afterwards, sending out sprays of acid at them. The slimes that got hit with the sprays of acid didn't take much damage, but they were stunned by the fact that they were attacked by other slimes. The slimes that were under the control of my Echo Bat jumped down on the other slimes and crushed their cores. Once their cores were destroyed, the slimes deflated and popped like balloons. Destroying the core was the only way to destroy the slimes. Watching this, I said, "Keep a few by my side to protect us. Let the rest sweep through the slimes that come." The Echo Bat gave a simple nod before giving another screech. If it was anyone else, they would certainly have problems facing these slimes at once. But for me, I didn't have to lift a single finger to kill these slimes. All I had to do was let them kill each other and watch the chaos happen. All that was left was for me to pick up the loot that dropped.
