The name Solan of the Cult of Solan is derived from the ancient brother gods of fire and light. And among the two god brothers, although the elder brother Vulcan is stronger than the younger brother Light God when it comes to real combat effectiveness, the symbolic meaning contained in the light is more convincing and acceptable than the simple fire, so after thousands of years of inheritance until now, although the doctrine of the Solan God Cult still retains the belief in the God of Fire, in fact, the people on the mainland have regarded the Solan God Cult as a complete light faith sect, and the Solan God Cult itself attaches much more importance to the light faith than the Vulcan faith.

As the inheritor of the Light Faith, the enemies that the Solan Cult had to face were those dark believers scattered in all corners of the continent. Although the dark belief is strictly speaking not necessarily related to dark magic, everyone has to admit that there are indeed a large number of dark magicians among the dark believers, and one of the most common attacks in dark magic is all kinds of strange curse magic, so the Solan Cult of God, as the leading force of the light faith on the continent, has never stopped researching and cracking all kinds of curses.

It is precisely because of the importance that the Solan Cult attaches to the curse that the Solan Cult reacts so quickly to the riots in this area of the Southwest Desert. And Shuaike's relentless pursuit of this group of depraved mercenaries is also largely influenced by the Cult's approach to cursed magic. As a force group of the Cult, the Templars must pay enough attention to every strange curse, because they may face it in the face of the dark forces one day.

With this in mind, Shuai Kecai did not immediately order an attack after surrounding these degenerate mercenaries. Although there are many people on the other side, their strength is relatively weak, so Shuai Ke is actually more inclined to turn these people into captives and bring them back to the Holy Kingdom of Solan to hand them over to the light sacrifice powerhouses who specialize in studying all kinds of curses in the sect to study the curses on their bodies, after all, a curse that can directly act on people's emotions and spread so strongly is still unheard of by them, if this curse is something made by a dark faith organization, then if you don't do some understanding and prevention in advance, it may cause a catastrophe.

However, just as Shuai Ke ordered his knights to approach these mercenaries little by little, putting pressure on them to force the other party to lose their fighting spirit and be captured, suddenly from behind the encirclement came the eager voice of the wolf girl they had just rescued.

"Watch out behind you! there's something coming out of the ruins!"

Shuai Ke and the knights near the ruins turned their heads, and then almost all of them gasped.

The yellowish, gelatinous liquid body enveloped almost all of the small ruins above the surface, and if it weren't for the transparent visuals and the fluid's unique fluctuating striat, it would have been so large that it would have almost been mistaken for a small sand dune that had suddenly appeared in the ruins.

Such a big ...... Slime?

"Big brother, that should ...... They are desert slimes that can only occasionally be found in underground ruins in the desert where there is slightly more water vapor than the surface. ”

A Templar who happened to be from a border village on the Prud and knew something about the desert looked at the large pale yellow slime that looked like a small sand dune, and said to Shuai Ke hesitantly.

Shuai Ke glanced at the Templar with a twitch out of the corner of his eye.

"Desert Slime...... Are they all so big?"

The Templar, who knew something about the desert, shook his head decisively.

Speaking of slimes, I'm afraid anyone who has some common sense knowledge of the common wild monsters on the continent of Areth will be familiar with it. As one of the wild monster races with the largest strength level span in the race, there are both slime hatchlings that can be dealt with by stronger ordinary people, and phantom slimes whose strength is equivalent to the law level if they accidentally deal with them, but no matter what kind of strength slimes have, they have a common weakness - they are very dependent on the water element content in the environment.

“...... One, in general, it's not easy to find a suitable environment for them in the desert, and I've never heard of such a large desert slime appearing anywhere......"

In such an environment as the Southwest Desert, where there is a serious lack of water element, even the distribution of water elements in those dark ruins is difficult to reach the average level of the continent, so the desert slime is also a small and weak type in the entire slime family.

However, the slime that appeared in front of Shuai Ke and the others undoubtedly broke this perception ruthlessly, not only was it so big that it made people feel foul, but even took the initiative to come from the ground to the hot surface of the sun, and it didn't look sluggish at all, but the water patterns on its body continued to fluctuate around, looking very lively, and it didn't stay long in the ruins before it immediately moved towards the knights in front of the ruins.

"Tsk, you guys go and stop it!"

Despite feeling a little uneasy, Shuai Ke still kept enough calm, no matter how big the desert slime became, it was only a low-level slime after all, as long as the magic core in the center of the slime was broken, it could be cleaned up.

Hearing Shuaike's words, several Templars around him immediately rushed over, they naturally had the same idea as Shuaike, but they didn't expect that after approaching the huge desert slime, they were just a little bit bigger, and they were placed by this "just a big glue block".

Originally, it was only necessary to destroy the slime's transparent body, which obviously had a solid shape in its transparent body, but this slime was too huge, and several knights only split the thick layer of water colloidal around the giant slime's body with all their might, and there was no way to attack the magic core hidden in the innermost layer of its body, not only that, but the place that was split became a good place for the slime to deal with them, and the gelatinous body was wrapped backwards from both sides, and the several knights who attacked it were swallowed into their gelatinous bodies in an instant。

Seeing this, Cheruth and Nanoha, who did not fall to the ground because of the appearance of the giant slime and continued to float in mid-air, hurriedly released wind magic and compression magic cannons towards the place where several knights were swallowed. The two of them hit the slime's body and it was swallowed into the body at the same time, but soon the magic energy exploded inside the slime's body, causing the slime to spit out several knights who had swallowed it.

"Thanks!"

Shuai Ke, who rushed to save people, said succinctly, dragged several knights who had passed out due to suffocation in the slime's body back into the encirclement, and then blessed his master-level fighting spirit with the one-handed sword in his hand, and then slashed through with a sharp fighting spirit, forcing the slime who wanted to attack him and take people back.

Shuai Ke, who successfully rescued people, didn't have a little joy, but he didn't expect that the original low-level monster would become so difficult to deal with after it was just huge in size, and what was worse was that the place and timing of this guy's appearance were not good.

As if to confirm Shuaike's bad premonition, a man in mercenary costume leaned out of the stone cave on the surface that had been reconnected because the slime had moved away, and shouted at the fallen mercenaries who were surrounded.

"That slime has the power of Master Jett to hold them down, rush in!"

Shuai Ke was shocked, and sure enough, this giant slime was the ghost of the group of mercenaries they had forced into the ruins before. Before the ambush, he also specially arranged more people close to the ruins than in other directions, originally thought that with the strength of the mercenaries who were driven into the ruins by them, even if they rushed out to rescue, they would not do much, but he didn't expect the other party to get such a difficult monster out of the ruins.

The number of Templar Knights was originally less than that of those fallen mercenaries, and they borrowed the sand boat as an obstacle and then scattered the personnel to reluctantly surround these mercenaries inside, if this place was disrupted by this strange huge slime in front of the ruins at this time, the defense here is likely to collapse instantly, and maybe it will give these mercenaries a chance to break through the encirclement and hide in the ruins from here.

Sure enough, hearing the shouts from this side, the mercenaries, who were already a little ready to move after seeing the appearance of the slime shake the array of the Templars, immediately took action, led by several leaders with extreme strengthening powers, and launched a charge in the direction of the entrance to break through.

At the same time, the slimes on the other side also seemed to be stimulated by the shouts of the mercenaries, and began to move in the direction of Shuai Ke again. This low-level slime almost always acts with the most basic instinctive judgment, and although it was a little panicked by the magic attacks of the two of Chelus and the masterful fighting spirit of Shuaike, it soon realized that these attacks that could have destroyed it in one fell swoop could now only cause temporary damage to a part of its body, so it also became a little unscrupulous.

"Everyone shrinks the encirclement!"

Shuai Ke only had time to shout like this, and then he had to concentrate on the huge slimes that had changed into waves and were advancing towards him one by one.

The slime obviously wanted to swallow him into his body and suffocate him like he had just done with the knights, and to Shuaike's annoyance, the slash he sent out had no more meaningful effect than to cut out the extra few pieces of the slime, and finally had to be forced by this large, low-level slime to retreat to the side and rear, so as not to follow in the footsteps of his subordinates.

Although the strength of ordinary fallen mercenaries is far inferior to that of the Templar Knights, the strange abilities of several leaders after being strengthened to the limit really caught the knights off guard, and with the chaos of the giant slimes behind them, the defense line of the Templars in front of the ruins was soon torn apart.

Seeing the mercenary leaders led by Luther take the lead in rushing into the stone cave leading to the underground in the temple, Shuai Ke reluctantly aimed all his anger at the giant gelatinous mass in front of him.

"Kill them all with fighting spirit! Unload this pile of glue pieces for me piece by piece!"
