Chapter 282 — Slime VS Little White Dragon
The Beast-Taming Craftsman Page 3 of 3
"Senior Shi Jin, what kind of joke is this? Me, inferior to a Slime?"
Eleven, Buggy, Baby Ginseng, and Red Eye lifted their heads. Are you very strong?
The Third Crown Prince's smile cut off abruptly.
Still, it shook its head hard, refusing to believe it no matter what. As for the Iron-eating Beast, the Fantasy Butterfly, Baby Ginseng, and the Sword Spirit—to be fair, it had grown up in Mirage Abyss City and knew nothing of them at all. But a Water Slime was far too common in the ocean, far too common in Mirage Abyss City too; it was basically the equivalent of a Green Down Worm in a forest on land, utterly unworthy of mention beside a mighty sea beast.
To tell it that it was inferior to a Slime—it wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death!
"Come on, little Jiaqi, try attacking. Aim right here." The Third Crown Prince stretched out its face and jabbed a claw at itself, speaking to Susu with a cheeky grin.
"Ming??" Susu was startled. It had never heard such a request.
But it suited it just fine.
The next moment, it multiplied and grew larger.
[Activating the devoured object's property 'Time-Brewed Fruit'. Conversion successful.]
Susu had once eaten a Time-Brewed Fruit in the ruins space. Though it could not convert the fruit into a permanent racial skill, with its infinite devouring space it was, apart from Baby Ginseng, the pet in Shi Jin's team best able to draw out the full benefits of the Time-Brewed Fruit.
Never mind that it was only of Monarch race; paired with an Overlord's will, it would be no exaggeration to say it had Overlord potential.
Add to that the conversion effect of Infinite Devouring... At this moment, with the Time-Brewed Fruit stored in its body through the Infinite Devouring skill, it directly relied on its Overlord's will and the Time-Brewed Fruit to activate the vast majority of its potential, its energy value soaring in an instant from forty thousand to over a million.
Boom!
An astonishing Monarch deterrence erupted from the little Slime amid a sky full of water mist. It opened its mouth wide, and beneath the blank stares of the White Cang Dragon, Bai Xi, and the others, instantly condensed and compressed a fierce torrent within its jaws.
"Holy crap, Monarch level." At that same moment, sensing the kingly aura bursting from the Slime, Yu Shu and the others were struck dumb on the spot.
Damn it, a Slime of Transcendent race, reaching Monarch level?
Slime's Roar!
Water Element Mastery: Water Dragon Bullet!
"ROAAAR!!!!!" As the water compressed within Susu's mouth, a water dragon that seemed forged from the compressed waters of a bottomless lake took shape in an instant, its claws bared and fangs bared, wreathed in a blue halo. With a "roar," beneath the dumbfounded expression of the little white dragon, it smashed into its body with a "boom"!
"Bang!" With immense impact force, the little white dragon's "fragile" frame was shoved back violently, sent flying dozens of meters in an instant, then with another "boom" its whole body crashed into a small riverside hill.
Crack.
The mountain shattered. Hammered into the cliff face and embedded there, the little white dragon felt the pain wracking its body and gaped its mouth wide.
What just happened? Who am I? Where am I? What is it?
"Roar?? (Monarch level... a Slime?)"
In that instant, seeing a Water Slime that ought to know only Multiply and Bubble wield water so flawlessly, and having itself reached an absurd Monarch level, Yin Huan, Yu Shu, and the others stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the wretched little white dragon blasted away.
Then they looked at Shi Jin, who wore an innocent face, scratching his cheek and tilting his head.
"I told you, my Slime Susu is very strong."
"..."
Damn it, and you call this a Slime?
After a moment, Yu Shu, Yin Huan, and the others came back to their senses.
Third—Crown—Prince——!!!
Forgot to tell you: every pet Shi Jin contracts is more or less unscientific! That is absolutely not a Water Slime—it's absolutely some deep-sea fiend wearing a Slime's skin!!
