The three of them spent a few days in the Elf palace. The ominous glances of the Elves in the palace accompanied their every step as they walked around the palace.
But Erend, Billy, and Lt. Boartusk were not affected at all by that gaze. The reason for that was because they were used to being stared at like that when entering the base or walking through the city.
Their existence is rarely well received outside their own environment. Constantly feeling it eventually got them used to it.
The three of them even walked around the palace as if they were on vacation and enjoying the sights.
This Elf Palace was indeed very beautiful, wide, and tall. But unfortunately, they are only allowed to walk around in the lowest part of the palace.
There is a very tall tower in the middle of the palace. Inside that tower, some rooms can also be used by Aurdis and Aerchon because they are princes and princesses in the Elf kingdom.
Billy wanted to go up to the tower. But Aerchons strictly forbid it. Billy of course didn't listen to what Aerchon had to say because he never liked him.
But when Laston and Aurdis said the same forbidding. Billy did not argue. No matter how much he wanted, Billy was not an unethical person. Except for Aerchon.
[ "You've been skipping the Daily Quest for a few days." ] Tut's words from inside his head surprised Erend.
"Gosh, you're right."
[ "You should have leveled up already." ]
Erend sighed in disappointment. But it can't be helped, those days have passed.
Now Erend was alone in the room reserved for them. He was wearing an Elf outfit in the form of a plain white loose-fitting suit.
The fabric of this outfit is comfortable enough to wear even though it doesn't match Erend's preferred style. But he was quite comfortable with this.
Erend looks better wearing it than Lt. Boartusk. Lt. Boartusk's face was the face of a man who was hardened by battle. There are several scars across his face. In addition, his skin is also darker than theirs.
While wearing the pure white Elf outfit, Lt. Boartusk looks very outstanding. Erend and Billy think that funny but they were holding their laugh. At least, in front of Lt. Boartusk.
"Alright. Looks like I have to run the Daily Quest now." Erend stood up from the bed. "Open the portal, Tut."
Tut didn't answer but just immediately opened the Portal. A red and black vortex appeared in front of Erend.
"What am I going to do now?" Erend asked while stepping on his feet.
[ "You will be killing Slimes." ]
Erend entered the Portal and was absorbed into the black and red vortex. He immediately felt the sensation of losing his way in time and space. But soon the sensation was gone and Erend arrived at a cave.
Water dripped on his head. Erend tried to look around but the cave was very dark.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Eyes (Lv.1) ]
When Erend activated [Dragon Eyes] he could finally see everything. This cave turned out to be very large. In front of Erend, the cave passage continued and the end was not visible.
"What am I supposed to do here?" Erend asked.
[ Daily Quest: Kill the Slimes in this cave. ]
[ Time limit: 1 hour ]
Erend's eyebrows rose when he saw the details of the quest that appeared. "I got twice as much experience as before?"
[ "Yes. This Daily Quest is quite difficult so the rewards are doubled." ] Tut's voice answered
Erend felt happy and anxious at the same time after hearing that. But in the end, he still had to complete this Quest because he was already here.
Erend started walking deeper into the cave. A few moments later he saw white moss stuck to the cave wall. The moss gave off a soft glow that made Erend feel curious.
"What is this?" Erend reached out his hand to feel the moss. Suddenly when his hand touched the moss, he got a notification.
[ Description: A magical moss that contains the attribute of ice. ]
"Hmm, seems quite useful. But how do I store it?"
[ "You can store it in Systema's Inventory." ] replied Tut.
"Oh, okay." Erend took the White Moss and then will it to enter the Inventory Systema.
The White Moss in his hands turned into shards of light and then instantly disappeared.
"Can I get it later?" Erend asked.
Erend nodded his head and then walked again. Before long he saw a light coming out of a room.
Erend peeked into the room and frowned. The light that filled the room came from a creature stuck to the wall. If he didn't use [Dragon Eyes], then he wouldn't notice the living things stuck to the wall.
Knowing that this was the right place, Erend immediately walked in. The creatures clinging to the walls began to show movement. They seemed displeased to see Erend's presence.
"I'd better not be wasting any time."
Erend disabled [Dragon Eyes] because the room was already bright enough. Then he activated another Skill.
[ Skill activated: Dragon Scale (Lv.1) ]
[ Skill activated: Dragon Claw (Lv.1) ]
The creatures were shaped like thick liquid with various colors. They started creeping towards Erend quickly.
Erend lunged at the Slimes closest to him then clawed at them. Erend didn't know if they were part of one separate being or if each of them had a consciousness of their own.
Erend's claws hit the Slimes. Their liquid-like bodies split apart. Erend continued to the other Slimes.
He didn't get any resistance so Erend felt that this was pretty easy. But he suddenly realized that the number of Slimes surrounding him had not decreased.
Erend also saw that the Slimes that he had just clawed to shreds were reunited as if nothing had happened.
Erend seemed to be attacking water. No matter how hard he attacked them, the Slimes would just reunite again.
He started to panic as soon as he realized he was already in the middle of the room with all the Slimes surrounding him.
Erend saw the Slimes begin to cover his legs. Suddenly Erend's body was pulled and then thrown until it hit the cave wall.
