Luck is a Charm

Wolfgang and his companion turned pale as their metallic barrier could no longer handle the corrosive power from Romu's Toxic Wave.

"Damn it, what the heck is wrong with these irregular slimes. Didn't that person say we can avoid their corrosion with this metallic barrier?" Wolfgang cursed aloud as he glanced at the worker slimes that continued to bombard them with their Toxic Wave.

Meanwhile, Zen gasped in surprise at their prowess and held a disbelief expression. 

"Cecilia, how did you know they can have this ability?" Zen sent a mental transmission to Cecilia who was the person that informed him about Romu and their ability.

At first, Zen was a bit suspicious since he thought the slime's abilities were only acid shot and mimicking but Cecilia intervened and proved him wrong.

"I'm really surprised that you call these slimes as worker slime. If you knew about their true prowess and their ability, you would have been so shocked that your jaws would drop." Cecilia teased as she couldn't believe Zen's attitude toward Romu.

Zen raised his eyebrow slightly in shock, almost like he couldn't believe the words that Cecilia was saying.

She was a Sovereign before so whoever she gave high praises, meant that they were strong beings.

"So what are the true form of Romu and the other worker slimes," Zen asked nicely.

"Romu and the rest of your so-called worker slimes are actually artificial dragons because they have the capability to mimic a dragon once their foundation is strong enough," Cecilia said solemnly and continued.

"Don't underestimate them just because they are artificial dragons and not true dragons because they gain at least 70% of a dragon's power."

Zen gasped in shock as this was the first time he ever realized the meaning of being the master of Romu and the other slimes. 

If Cecilia's word was true then Romu and the rest of the worker slimes could become artificial dragons and at that time, couldn't he easily soar through to the higher world and wreak havoc everywhere he goes.

"Fantastic, let me call Romu and the slimes over here after they are finished with Wolfgang. Hehe, Dragons…" Zen started giggling like a fool as he imagined himself riding a dragon even if it's not real.

"Idiot, Romu needs to see a real dragon before they can mimic as one." Cecilia sent an electric shock into Zen's brain, causing him to shudder and stop his daydream.

"Dragons are extremely rare and you should wait until Kuro gains enough power to transform into a real dragon then you can have Romu and the slimes mimic him." Cecilia scoffed as she lectured Zen harshly.

Zen could only nod his head in silence since Cecilia was always correct while he was always in the wrong.

"What about Angela's mother's condition so far?" Zen decided to change the topic and asked about Angela's mother, Lena who had a bloodline deficiency. 

Zen had managed to obtain the herbs required for her illness and let Cecilia do the rest. It was about time that her condition should improve and Zen wanted to hear her current status to inform Angela.

"Lena is slowly recovering and has regained some of her healthy facial expression. She is no longer pale and weakened but it'll take some more time for her to wake up since her blood needs to be assimilated slowly into her cells."

"Hehe, that's great then. When I finally get to meet up with Angela, I can tell her this news and who knows what reward I may get. Maybe a cute maid outfit with sexy cat ears in bed." Zen imagined the scene of Angela wearing those seductress outfits when serving him and drools started forming in his mouth.

Cecilia didn't say anything except giving him one last electric shot in his mind before leaving him alone.

Zen yelped out in surprise at the sudden electric shock and cursed inwardly, 'Don't you know shocking one brain might damage the function and cause one to become an idiot forever?'

If he has the confidence to yell those words out then he might just receive more than a few electric shocks as it was always taboo to talk about another woman in front of them.

At this time, a sudden explosion occurred, causing Zen to glance at the fighting scene.

From afar, Zen could see Wolfgang and his companion having a haggard and exhausted expression. Meanwhile, Romu and the rest of the worker slimes were delighted to break the metallic barrier that blocked off their acid shot previously.

"Hahaha, where's your barrier now little shit. Dare to belittle slimes? Receive your punishment now." Romu chuckled aloud as all of them fired their acid shot with some Toxic Wave at Wolfgang's group.

Wolfgang turned pale as he hurriedly grabbed one of his companions to tank the acid shot for him.

"AHHHHHHHHHHH" The person didn't expect to become a shield for Wolfgang as his skin started melting from the corrosion and soon, he became silent as he drew his final breath.

"Damn, pretty ruthless but decisive at the same time." Zen clapped his hand as he enjoyed seeing them killing each other.

Wolfgang gritted his teeth in anger and shouted, "Hmph, just you wait little brat. I will deal with you now."

Afterward, Wolfgang leaped toward Zen, hoping to capture him alive to stop Romu and the worker slimes from attacking them further with their corrosive ability.

Zen smiled at the futile action of Wolfgang. "Why do people always think I'm weak just because I rely on others to clear for me?"

Zen doesn't understand their logic where if you don't make a move then you're weak. Not willing to linger further in this pointless fight, Zen grabbed a wand from his spatial ring and started casting some light javelins.

The javelins launched at Wolfgang who merely smirked. "Hmph, puny javelins like this are useless to me." Wolfgang coated his arm with some Earth element magic and smashed the javelins into pieces.

However, his expression changed when he saw Zen standing still with a smile on his face as he uttered a few sentences, "Say hi to the people in the underworld for me."
