The dragon’s harem

Chapter 6 Hunting Slimes Isn’t Easy.



Arad reached the edge of the forest quickly. “Now, time to hunt slimes.” He said with a happy face. Swoosh! The breeze brushed across his face; nothing was around.

“Where are the slimes?”

[I don’t know. I can’t sense any nearby.]

“How am I supposed to finish the quest of there are no slimes?”

[You have to find them.]

Arad started searching behind the trees and under the bushes, but no matter what he did, nothing appeared.

“I need 1S and 30C to spend the night in an inn. That’s 26 slimes. How am I supposed to find them all?” He growled.

[Told you to search. And maybe aim for the 1S 50C inn without a meal. With that, you only need 16 smiles.]

“Wait and see. I will get us a nice inn.” He roared.

[Yay, do your best.]

After half an hour of searching, nothing appeared. “Are slimes real?”

[They are. Stop complaining.]

After finding a nicely rounded stone, he sat down, looking at the sky. “Can I see my original stats?”

“Void eyes and void walk, can I use them?” Arad looked toward the forest.

[Of course, you can, but make sure no one sees you teleport with the void walk.]

Arad stood, closed his eyes, and then opened them. He could see nothing different, “I don’t see any difference.”

[That means there is no active magic nor invisible creatures around here.]

Arad stood and looked into the forest, [Void Walk] ZON! His body disappeared in a faint purple glow. Thud! He landed beside a tree, “Ah, that was amazing.”

[Void dragons are amazing. Now look for the slimes.]

Arad sighed and started walking into the trees, “We’re going to sleep on the street tonight. I don’t see slimes anywhere.”

“To whom you’re talking, little kid.” A voice spoke behind him. Arad got immediately alerted. Thud! He leaped back and opened his palm, [Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt]

CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! The man standing tall and mighty swung his long sword faster than could be seen by regular sight. Without effort, he sliced Arad’s magic.

“Whoa! That was fast for a kid.” He smiled, staring at Arad with a smile. A drop of sweat fell on his bushy beard.

[He blocked our spells even though everyone in the guild said we were too fast. He’s dangerous.]

Arad glared at him, “Who are you?”

“Alcott Demorian, and adventurer. Are you also an adventurer?” He asked, approaching Arad.

Thud! Arad took a stance, [Firefist] he sent a punch at the man. KA-DON!

Alcott dodged to the side, “Wait a moment, why are you attacking me?” He asked with a scared face.

CRACK! Arad took a stance [Firefist] [Firekick] A punch to the face, and when Alcott dodged, he kicked at his guts.

Alcott easily dodged them all and jumped away, “What an impressive speed, the adventurer around here have grown stronger.” He smiled.

[Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt][Firebolt]

Arad fried at him as face as he could, aiming to overwhelm the strong opponent. CLANG! CLANG! But, Alcott pulled his long sword and sliced a spell, another, and another.

The speed his sword moved was inhumane. A storm of iron ripped the flames barrage into mere sparks. Arad stared in shock. What is this monster?

THUD! With a single leap, he stood behind Arad. “Calm down, little kid. I was passing by. I didn’t mean to scare you.”

“Who are you?”

“S-rank adventurer, Alcott Demorian. Also called the dragon slayer, if you heard of me.” He stood proudly.

“S-rank?”

[The dragon slayer. Arad, you can trust this man for now. But don’t tell him who you are.]

Arad looked worried, staring at Alcott.

[Will talk later, I remember the nickname from your mother’s memories, but I don’t know any more details. He is trustworthy to a small extent.]

Arad relaxed, “Arad Orion, F-rank adventurer. Nice to meet you, senior.”

“Only F-rank? The hell?” Alcott gasped, “I thought you were an A-rank with that speed. For a moment, I even suspected you were a new S-rank.” He took a step back.

“Stop joking.” Arad waved his hand, leaning on a nearby tree.

“Are you serious? Did all the adventurers there turn into monsters?” Alcott was still confused, screaming with a puzzled face.

“I don’t know about that. I just registered this morning. I’m even stuck here searching for slimes.” Arad sighed. Why had he to meet such an outstanding adventurer?

“Slimes? Those little bastards, you won’t find them by just searching.” Alcott scratched his head, “You will find them around bodies of water. Head in this direction, and you will find a river,”

“They will be there?”

“Yeah, look under stones and logs. I hope you have a great hunt, talented kid.” Alcott turned away and left without further comments, leaving Arad puzzled.

After walking a bit, Alcott thought to himself. “I’m sure I saw that kid teleport. Why didn’t he use higher magic against me?” But he quickly brushed it off as something to think about later. Now he has to go to the city and get something to eat.

When Arad arrived at the river, he searched around and found a few slimes. The first one was rolling beside the river like no one business.

[Firebolt] Swosh! KA-DON! The monster exploded, leaving a charred core behind. Arad screamed, rushing to check it, “No way, it’s all burned.”

[Only one copper coin. Just find another one and try again.]

After searching and finding another slime, KA-DON! It was again charred.

“Maybe I shouldn’t use [Firebolt].” Arad thought, glaring down at the gravel, “Nina said to use improvised weapons.”

Arad lifted the stones and started throwing them at the slimes from a distance, aiming to kill them without damaging the cores. It wasn’t as easy as it seemed, and in the end, it was a bad hunt.

Good cores 6

Damaged cores 12

[When slimes die, their acid burns their cores. To get a good core, you must immediately take the core out and wash it with water. That is why we lost a lot of cores.]

“I don’t need you to explain it. I learned it the hard way.” Arad sighed, walking back to the city with a sad face.

Thud! “How much are those?” He said, looking at Nina.

” Six good ones and twelve destroyed. That’s 42 copper coins.” She said, with a smile, “And did you find any mint?” She whispered.

Arad’s face twisted a bit, “About that, I forgot. Next time, I will remember to look for it.” He looked down, took his reward, and walked away.

“Wait, Arad,” Nina called him.

“I’m exhausted. Leave it for tomorrow.” He walked out depressed.

He slowly walked across the streets, looking at the illuminated houses in the dark. After a short while, he reached the gate.

“Where are you going?” Nigel’s father asked.

“I have a quest outside. Open the gate.” Arad replied with a sad face.

“Are you sure? It’s pitch black. How can you see?” He stared at him with suspicious glares.

Arad lifted his hand and smiled. I can cast flames.” A little fire ignited in his palm.

They opened the gate for him, and he slowly went outside, “It’s going to be tough.” He mumbled.
