Malvoid and his troops were transferred to sector 3, on the cliff. Immediately, a slime sent out poisonous substances as usual. Malvoid kicked it and they continued on their way. The other slimes joined them.

After 500 meters, the path was blocked. At that moment, Malvoid’s mouth opened a little.

As I predicted.

Immediately, they destroyed everything to their left. There, on the path of adventurers, the place was similar to where they had been.

Melbourne stepped out and about 100 slimes were behind him. "You all should stay here."

As soon as he said that, he heard a scream. Immediately, he ran toward the direction of the voice to his left. As soon as he arrived, he saw an adventurer vomiting blood onto the ground. Others lay dead, and a lady beside them gazed at Malvoid, moved up, and fled.

A slime was sending out poisonous substances.

I can’t blame it.

He devoured them.

[Your Absorption Flesh skill has been unlocked]

He absorbed them entirely, everything.

On the other side of the sector, an arrogant adventurer slashed through the slimes like cake, again and again. He had protection against poisonous air. It wasn’t his first time in this sector. He wore expensive clothing.

"Why can I only use this skill when I’m in this form?" He turned his head. "Stay here."

He walked a few meters into the place. The ground was covered with tree stems. He lifted his head up. It was an abnormal tree.

At that moment, he heard a sound approaching him. His skull got pierced with an arrow. He jumped backward and removed it.

An arrow.

He looked around. "So, it’s an archer," he whispered.

The second arrow came at him. He dodged it and gazed toward that direction.

"So you’re there."

He ran toward the archer, who was above on the wall.

How can this be possible? I’m actually far from him, but he saw me... skeletons are actually weak with bad perception.

Meanwhile, Malvoid sped up. The archer shot arrows at him. He blocked them all with his sword and cut them down. Then the archer jumped out of the hole and fled.

What’s the problem with that skeleton?

Malvoid moved to where the hole was.

This could be an interesting trap.

He held his chin. Immediately, he shouted with a real boss voice:

"Humans and every inferior being here—I am the sector boss!"

His words echoed through the place. A breeze of air passed over everyone.

As soon as he did that, he went back and called the slime. The giant slime smiled.

"More, we want."

Malvoid thought:

This slime has mental problems... It doesn’t displease me, but on the contrary. We reassemble villains—this is exciting.

They moved together, and the small slimes hid in the hole. To the left, there were about five holes. They filled them up.

The adventurer in expensive clothing saw a lady tied up, having difficulty walking, exhausted. She fell to the ground. Slimes were approaching her slowly and surely.

He pulled the sword from his scabbard.

"How dare mere slimes show such disrespect to humans?"

He stepped forward, and intense pressure radiated from him. The ground cracked in front of the lady.

"Multiple slashes in one."

He made a horizontal slash toward them. In an instant, they were all cut into pieces. One slime exploded, and poisonous gas rapidly covered the place.

The lady on the ground was dying slowly. The adventurer stared at her, pushed her with his leg.

"She’s dead... I didn’t know she was so weak."

Then he bent down and touched her neck. She was still breathing, but poisoned.

"I don’t have luck today... I have only one healing potion, and you’re not my type of girl."

Immediately, he swung, and she was beheaded.

"When you kill a human, it’s more experience than a monster."

He opened his arms wide with a malicious face.

"I’m a survivor, a saint sent by the gods... hahaha."

At that moment, Malvoid froze.

A cold jolt ran through his bones, like ice scraping against marrow. The air tasted metallic.

[WARNING: High-level hostile detected]

Danger.

At that moment, Malvoid thought:

Can anything hold me back?

Geon walked into the place.

I don’t see any slimes anymore.

His facial expression darkened. His eyes shone with blue light.

"Who is the person who took what belongs to me?"

In front of him, he saw a skeleton walking toward him. It suddenly stopped and gazed at him.

Malvoid’s left hand trembled. He knew him.

Geon, this knight! This b*stard... But I can’t win him... What is he doing here?

Geon put his sword on his shoulder. He wore silver armor.

"What is he doing?"

At that moment, Joel was reminiscing about his past with Geon. His skull rattled, not from fear, but from the anger he had toward that man.

[ERROR OCCURRED: Your emotions are above average]

I’m a skeleton, but why do I feel such emotions?

He held his head on both sides. He was acting like he was crazy. The red light in his hollow flickered wildly.

I need to kill you in every possible way... You made me lose for the first time in the game. I’ll never forget it.

Immediately, Geon stepped forward and the ground cracked. He was right in front of Malvoid. He sliced both of his arms off and raised his sword for the finishing blow.

Will I die today?

Suddenly, a giant slime jumped toward Geon. He moved backward and took a swordsmanship stance.

"What is this again? A giant slime, with that smile?" he whispered.

He held his forehead.

"It’s so rare. This is my first time seeing this type at such a level."

His facial expression darkened.

But.

In front of the slime, he muttered:

"It’s nothing more than an insect."

"Multiple slashes in one."

The slime slashed in every direction, but its vitality was dropping fast. Geon attacked again. It was about to die.

And suddenly, Malvoid bit into the slime. Once, twice, and the slime died.

[+1200 EXP]

[Skill acquisition in progress]

And Geon’s sword came down above his head, severing him in two. He hit the ground.

[WARNING: 30 seconds until death]

System!!!

[Sacrificing the core you absorbed]

[Sacrificing part of the experience gained]

A red light pulsed through the place like a radar, sweeping over every dead organism and drawing their essence into his bones.

The other slimes rushed in to protect him.

[Comprehension of slimes has increased exponentially to maximum]

[The slimes instinctively understood their master’s will, synchronizing their bodies to shield and rebuild him]

[Recovery of body: 35%... 45%... 99%... 100%]

[Your experience and flesh are restoring]

His bones creaked and reformed as muscle and skin crawled back over the skeleton, layer by layer. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

Into the microscopic view: cells splitting, tissues weaving, organs forming, and the complete system reactivating.

His eyes lit up again. Flesh covered the skeleton progressively. Vapor hissed from his body as heat escaped.

[Level up]

[Level up]

[Level up]

The notification system rang in his mind like a ringtone.

Malvoid exhaled hot vapor. It spread and covered the entire place. Nothing could be seen except the red light shining, fixed on him.
