Living As The Strongest Slime

CHAPTER 07: Rantivia

...

"How long has it been... How many days have passed? How many weeks have I endured... In this GODDAMNED STUPID ILLUSION!"

[It has only been 30 minutes Host.]

"I know! I'm just stressed out! Can't we just get out of here Draco? I mean, you can just break your way through right?"

{This is a valuable learning experience for you, Renne. By figuring how to break this illusion by yourself, you can learn how to PROPERLY control mana in your body and surroundings.}

"I thought I had pretty good control of mana though?"

{That's because I assisted you in controlling the mana. If I didn't assist you, then all the magic you casted, would have fail or exploded on spot. Therefore, by learning how to break this illusion by yourself, you will be able to understand the flow of mana and how to construct spells of your own!}

"I can make my own spells?"

{It is possible.}

"Hmmm..."

{Patience. Feel the flow of mana. I'll watch over you.}

.

.

.

I calmed my mind, and felt the flow of mana. I felt the mana constructing this illusion that has kept me trapped for hours. I see the flow of mana in the spell creating a circuit, not complex, but not so simple either. The longer I analyzed this illusion, the more I understood how the illusion is working. After spending more time with it, I have decided to break this illusion. I inserted my mana into the spell and caused the mana to lose control and the illusion disappeared.

"It's gone."

{Yes. The Illusion is gone}

[Congratulations Host]

"...But why didn't I get anything?"

{Yes?}

"WHY DIDN'T I GET ANOTHER SKILL. I SPENT HOURS IN THAT DAMN ILLUSION-

[Correction: 1 Hour, 43 minutes, 13 seconds]

"SHUT UP. I'm pissed off right now ok?"

{W-well even if you didn't get a new skill or anything, at least you understand the flow of mana. That's still a plus point}

"sigh. I guess I can agree on that."

"But this is not important. What's important right now is, WHERE THE HECK AM I! AND WHERE ARE THOSE DAMN MAGES!"

[They ran away]

"After all that time, I was looking for someone to beat up with my own hands. Now there's no one?!"

{They were probably mercenaries for hire. Must have been shocked by the mana I emitted and ran away}

"..."

[It seems you are displeased Host]

"Of course I'm displeased. They ruined my day. But I think I can settle this matter at a later time. Draco, where are we?"

{We are in the Pnere Plains. A place under the rule of the Rantivia Kingdom. A Kingdom where only females are allowed to have power}

"That's odd"

{It is odd indeed. The Rantivia Kingdom is the first Kingdom that is acknowledged by the other Kingdoms to be ruled by females, and for a good reason. The Rantivia Kingdom has value in their military power and their research on herbs and medicine. This Kingdom has also proven their strength in multiple competitions which involved other kingdoms with great power and social status. Though it is not the best place to visit}
