Law of the Swarm

Chapter 105 God of Plague and Curse
[Plague Slime] (21/30): A special ability formed by [Numerical Code], [Insect Adaptability], [Corrosion Slime] and plague bacteria.Lively and corrosive slime containing the plague can be ejected through the glands.

……

The changes in the throat glands lasted for nearly 10 minutes before it was completely over, and System also obtained an ability above level 21 for the first time.

After obtaining this ability, System's combat power increased from 6.3 to 71. Although he did not become a magical life, he had a higher combat power than the [Frost Form] that became a magical life.

Similar to what System has always inferred, the skill level has entered a new level after reaching level 21, and the power it produces is even more peculiar.

However, because the more the skill or talent level is raised, the more experience is required, so System has not used the [Ability Enhancement Technique] to waste experience to raise a certain ability to level 21.

He has listened to the voice of the world and communicated with Nellis, the magic life ice elf.

System also has his own inferences about the level of power. Ability below level 10 is generally the ability of ordinary things, level 11 to 20 represents magical power, and level 21 to 30 represents extraordinary power.

Of course, being able to use extraordinary power does not mean that the life itself has reached extraordinary, but only the level of power that can be used.

Neither the strength nor the quantity of abilities can compare to the extraordinary power used by a truly extraordinary creature.

Just like weak spiders and scorpions have deadly toxins, although they are powerful enough to poison an elephant, they will be easily trampled to death by the elephant.

System speculates that Shava's ability is an extraordinary ability, and it is likely to be even higher than extraordinary ability, but System's [perception] of this ability is not very clear.

And because Shava would react strangely once he [perceived] it, recently, System didn't do much research on Shava's ability.

……

After closing the light curtain formed by the [Tool Menu], System carefully felt his newly acquired ability.

System found that the glands in his throat had become more powerful, and he estimated that he could easily spray this mucus tens of meters away, and if he used all his strength, he could spray it hundreds of meters away.

But compared to the gland's spraying ability, System's corrosive slime activity has been greatly enhanced.

The color of [Plague Slime] has now turned black and purple, and it exudes a stronger stench than [Corrosive Slime] at that time.

It seems that after combining with these germs, System's corrosive slime becomes more active, stronger than pure slime.

System can easily manipulate these slimes within ten meters with [Teleportation] ability, just like controlling his tentacles.

And after a long period of time, the glue will not lose its activity. System estimates that even if these glues are left idle for an hour, they can still be controlled by him as usual.

This jelly has become full of power, and System can easily control this ball of jelly to jump from the ground. System estimates that a ball of jelly the size of a baby's fist can jump nearly two meters high, and if the jelly The quality and quantity increase, and you can jump higher and farther.

Not only that, System can also control these jelly to change into various shapes, he can even manipulate these jelly slime to form tentacles, and use the jelly tentacles to grab the bottle on the table.

The corrosiveness of this slime seems to have increased a lot. System found that the jelly of [Plague Slime] even corroded these glass-like bottles, leaving traces of melting on the surface of the bottles.

Continuing to control this jelly to change its shape, System can control [Plague Slime] into various shapes at will, and he can even control these slimes to form flowers similar to Frost Flower.

But the more complex the shape, the more difficult it is for him to manipulate.

System finally controlled the jelly in the glands in his throat to turn into a sharp arrow shape, and at the same time aimed at the wooden board on the table and spit with maximum force.

boom!
Due to the impact of the slime, the table clearly produced a diamond-shaped dent, like a mark stabbed by a sharp dagger, and was then corroded by the corrosive [plague slime].

"Sure enough, it's a non-Newtonian fluid. If the speed is fast enough, it might be able to pierce steel."

System controlled the slime that corroded the table, and bounced back into his mouth to recover it.

Because mucilage can change shape at will, System remembered a few small experiments in his previous life.

It is made of chewing gum into a cone, which can split open coconuts; people run quickly in a swimming pool filled with starch solution without falling into the water, achieving the effect of floating on water with ease.

It seems that his viscous gel is also a kind of non-Newtonian fluid. Non-Newtonian fluid has a remarkable characteristic. The greater the force suffered, the stronger the mutual adhesion between the liquids will become, and the harder it will become. When the adhesion is strong enough, it can even be harder than stones and steel.

And System, who can manipulate colloids at will, will undoubtedly maximize the properties of colloidal non-Newtonian fluids, allowing him to have the sharpest arrows.

But it's a pity that the speed at which System spit out mucus is still too slow, far from the effect that System wants to have.

……

System, who lamented the strange effect of his [Plague Slime], had no idea that the reason why his [Plague Slime] was set at level 21 was not due to the activity of the gelatin, but a dozen kinds of plagues in the gelatin. The plague bacteria left by the bacteria through mutual phagocytosis and the combination of active colloids.

Otherwise, only relying on colloids can change the activity, and the level of [Corrosive Slime] can only be set at level 20.

And level 20 and level 21 are already two different levels of difference.

System naturally didn't know the horror of this extraordinary-level plague.

He was just hallucinating and referring to the talent of the little meat ball. After activating the talent [Body Transformation] in the future, his body can be transformed into an ever-changing jelly.

……

……

After removing all the useful things from the Ratmen Wizard's Cave, although System still had no idea how to undo the curse, the inexplicably improved strength made System feel better.

System, who hadn't rested for several days, finally lay down on the comfortable cotton mattress and began to sleep on this day.

System fell into a deep sleep. Normally speaking, unless he was unconscious, System would only enter a half-dream and half-awake dormancy state, and this time he really fell asleep.

But System, who was already asleep, didn't notice that a flash of purple-black light suddenly appeared on the black animal skin book beside him.

At the same time, in his sleep, System found that he seemed to appear in a dark space, his [System] eyes seemed to be unable to play any role, and he still couldn't see anything around him.

System found that he was in the water, and he seemed to be unable to swim to the end no matter how he swam in this space.

But just when System decided to give up, he realized that he seemed to be dreaming, and decided to drift with the tide in this space.

System's vision changed suddenly, a blurry shadow appeared in front of him, and in the gap of the shadow, System saw a red eye.

Red eyes are very special and seem to convey a special message.

System naturally knew what the existence he saw in his sleep was—the god of plague and curse, Rafal.

There was no dialogue, but with the gaze of that red eye, System gradually received a lot of information, and knew exactly how the ratman wizard learned the vicious curse.

It was all because of the existence that System saw in his sleep, the power bestowed by Rafal, the God of Plague and Curse.
