Chapter 126: Crazy Slimes (I)

With Evie being mysterious and pointing at a ceiling, the rest of the women became confused.

"Is there something over there that you're pointing to?" Angela asked Evie softly because she didn't detect anything unusual.

Morgan Pelora and Daphne Camellia were also perplexed as they couldn't figure out what is so special about the ceiling.

"Don't try to use your naked eye to see and feel it with your mana core," Evie said softly when she saw them being lost.

'Sigh, at times like this, it would have been better if Zen was here. He would have understood my intention right away.' Evie sighed as she saw them closing their eyes to check the unusual stuff.

A few moments later, Angela opened her eyes in shock and disbelief. Morgan Pelora and Daphne Camellia have the same reaction after they saw an unbelievable scene.

"T-The ceiling is fake. T-They are a mimic and my instinct is telling me that they're slimes." Daphne Camellia stuttered with a pale face.

Angela and Morgan Pelora also raised their guard in nervousness as they could never imagine the ceiling above them to be a monster.

However, the confusing part is, why haven't the slimes that are mimicked as a ceiling attack them already.

They could only turn their head and stare at Evie for an answer.

She was the only one who remained composed and calm this entire time. Otherwise, there was no way they could've detected the slimes and could have been ambushed unprepared.

Meanwhile, Evie was speechless by the level of intelligence of these women. 'How did they manage to survive in this world?'

In the end, Evie sighed as she said, "As the projection has said, we are challengers in this labyrinth, and when there's a challenge, what should there be?"

"Monsters?" Daphne Camellia responded after pondering for a while but Evie shook her head.

"No, we already know there are monsters lurking in this labyrinth." Evie shocked her head in disappointment and looked at Angela for a response.

"A healer?" Angela said as she believed a healer is required when doing a challenge.

"No, Angela, that has nothing to do with the topic we're on. Having a healer does not explain why the slimes are staying in the ceiling and not attacking us." Evie said in a tired tone.

Angela and Daphne Camellia lowered their heads in shame as they were oblivious to their current situation and couldn't comprehend Evie's question.

Evie sighed as she glanced at Morgan Pelora to see if she got a decent answer. 

Morgan Pelora saw her gaze and said, "I believed it's because we are currently in a safe zone. Meaning, we'll be safe as long as we stay here."

Hearing Morgan Pelora mentioning the safe zone and adding with the challenging part, Daphne Camellia and Angela finally understood.

"At least we have one who thinks before they speak. Correct, our position is currently similar to a safe zone so as long as we stay here, the slimes will remain in their position." Evie smiled briefly and continued.

"You may not have noticed but there's a thin line in the exit which warns us that we will be attacked as soon as we step foot outside of the line."

Afterward, Evie walked forward a bit, just a little behind the thin line. With a smirk, she raised her right foot slightly as she hovered in mid-air over the thin line.

Instantly, there was movement between the slimes in the ceiling but no slimes were lunging forward to attack Evie.

Besides the agitating movement between the slimes, there was zero intention of harming her yet.

"Do you see their response clearly?" Evie asked them shortly after she retracted her right foot, causing the movement from the slimes to stop.

This time, Angela and Daphne Camellia nodded their head in understanding of the situation.

"The slimes would not attack us unless we step over that boundary line," Angela said and Evie nodded her head.

"To pass through this room, we must come up with a plan to deal with these slimes because I'm sure it's not your typical and easy slimes. Thus, destroying their core does not necessarily mean the end of their life." Evie said and continued.

"If my memories aren't wrong then they should be deviant slimes, nicknamed as crazy slimes. They are proficient in mimicking things and concealing their aura from enemies. Also, their attack is extremely toxic as they shoot some acid from their mouth that can melt anything upon impact."

Daphne Camellia turned pale when she heard Evie calmly describing the enemy like an instructor.

"A-Are there any weaknesses on these crazy slimes if we can't just kill them by targeting their cores?" Daphne Camellia asked as her body trembles in fear.

"Sigh, to think the person who always deemed me as a rival is frightened to this extent when we haven't even been attacked yet." Morgan Pelora teased as she looked at Daphne Camellia in amusement.

Frustrated and anger overwhelmed Daphne Camella as she cannot handle being degraded by her rival.

"Hmph, what are you yapping for when you're not even helpful at all? Aren't you just sitting duck here like us?" Daphne Camella shouted, alerting the crazy slimes in the ceiling.

When she noticed her shout caused the crazy slimes to glare at her maliciously, she panicked and took cover behind Angela.

Angela was speechless on being a shield for Daphne Camellia suddenly as she tried to fling her aside.

However, Daphne Camellia was like a koala, unwilling to let go of Angela's arm, clenching onto her tightly.

"Can you let go of my arm already? We're not that close and I have this spot reserve for someone already." Angela spouted as she wasn't willing to associate with Daphne Camellia who always went against Zen in the auction.

Daphne Camellia gnashed her teeth and let go of her reluctantly before saying, "Hmph, you're just a bitch that spread your legs to that lecherous brat."

"At least I admit that I'm willing to spread my leg for the man I love and unlike you. Panicking and frightened at mere slimes while acting like a haughty, spoiled missy." Angela snorted as she ignored her and walked to Evie's side.
