Chapter 1468: Goos
FLAASH!
As I pulled open the door what greeted us was... well, it wasn't anything amazing. I had
imagined it might be those dimensional dungeons with open world floor or something, but I was utterly wronged.
Instead, what we found was dark caves like before, illuminated with tons of Goos moving everywhere, and also crystals stuck to the ground or ceiling.
And these "Goos" which I imagined might be cute, were super ugly. They weren't at all like our adorable slimes!
Nope, they were ugly masses of acid and liquid, not compact like slimes but more liquid, so liquid they seemed unable to keep large shapes.
So they resembled melting poodles of acid moving around the place. They also had huge smiles made of... flesh and teeth, somehow.
To top it they had a lot of eyes covering their bodies.
So without a doubt the Goos were ugly as sin!
"So these are the Goos..." said Celica. "So ugly!"
"They aren't like Slimes one bit..." Celeste said.
"Hey, at least we were able to secure a nice grinding spot!" I said. "There doesn't seem to be any other adventurers in here today, weirdly enough. I would've assumed there would be people somewhere."
"Oh yeah now that I look around you're not wrong Sylphy!" said Celica. "Weird, to be honest..."
"Do you know where they might have gone to?" Celeste asked Ruby.
"No-No, I have no clue," said Ruby. "Maybe it wasn't a good day to hunt? Let's hunt a few of these Goos then. The laws say that if there aren't other adventurers you can do whatever you want and just hunt the Goos... They multiply a lot!"
"Okay!" I nodded. "Let's hunt as many as we can!"
With that said, we didn't waste more time as lunch was probably about to get ready and we started our hunt.
The majority of Goos aren't even equipped with countermeasures to fight back and just remain there waiting for something to step on them.
They were easy prey honestly!
Just a fireball was enough to kill the weakest of them. BOOM!
"Eh?"
SPLASH!
The Giant Red Goo wrapped around her body instantly upon falling over her! Beginning to use its acids and attempting to consume her right away.
I don't know how tough her body is compared to us, Celeste and I might be able to survive just fine but Celica has never specialized don her physical strength or defenses, even as her physique evolved, it was always giving her more magic than anything!
"Bbrrrhhh!"
I swung my blade against the Goo and sliced it open, revealing Celica's body, whose clothes
had slightly been consumed by the acid.
"PWAAH! I thought I would drown! Cough... ugh!"
She however, aside from looking like her skin was irritated, was fine!
Thankfully, it seemed she was tough enough.
"Cough all the acid, I don't know if it'll be good for your body anyways," I said, patting her back. "Let's clean you up."
I conjured a huge ball of water using the Aqua Ball Skill and washed her thoroughly. Before drying her. Her clothes had to be changed though, so I gave her a spare dress to wear, and new
boots.
"Thank you Sylphy... sorry, I got a bit too far..." she sighed. "If I wasn't strong enough I would have surely died... The Goos are really dangerous!"
"They are! So don't go too far away from the barrier," I sighed, patting her head.
"Well, glad you're ok Celica, don't be dumb again," Celeste sighed. "I got really scared..."
"Me too!" Ruby said. "P-Please be careful!"
"Ok, sorry... Oh!" Celica pointed at the distance. "I saw a pink one!"
"Wait, Celica! Where are you going to?!"
She ran away again...
Seriously, this girl!
