Infinite Disasters: I Hoarded My Way to Godhood novel Chapter 220

Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Miserable Return

"Damn it! Damn it! DAMN IT!!!"

Seraphina Sullivan screamed frantically in her head.

Her body, however, was empowered by the [Bounce] Skill, darting desperately between the crumbling, corroding ruins like a startled rabbit.

From all directions, the dark yellow, constantly writhing and splitting Corrosive Slimes swarmed in like a tide.

Wherever they slithered, even metal and concrete rapidly dissolved.

They left behind a corrosive surface that bubbled and fizzed.

"I hate Slimes!!"

Seraphina Sullivan shouted, grinding her teeth.

Ahead, a small Slime the size of a wild boar blocked her path.

It squirmed rapidly, emitting a nauseating, acrid stench.

Seeing the Slime blocking her only way forward, Seraphina subconsciously lashed out with the [Poisonous Python Black Whip].

She tried to whip it aside to clear a path for herself.

The whip’s shadow moved like a serpent, striking the Slime with precision and sending it flying in an instant!

However, even though she had sent the Slime flying, the moment the body of the whip touched the dark yellow, gelatinous mass—

"HISSS—!"

A sound of corrosion so awful it set her teeth on edge rang out!

Seraphina felt the whip in her hand suddenly lighten.

When she looked closely, she saw the section of the whip’s tip that had touched the Slime was blackening, dissolving, and breaking apart at a visible rate, like an ice cube dropped in strong acid!

Just one touch.

Her long-used weapon, the [Poisonous Python Black Whip], had suffered catastrophic damage!

"Ah!! My whip!!"

Seraphina’s heart ached so much it could have bled. It was such a practical weapon!

She immediately used [Item Identification] to check it.

[Poisonous Python Black Whip (Damaged)]

Status: The body of the whip has been eroded by high-intensity corrosive Energy. The structure is permanently damaged and cannot be repaired. Its Effect is severely weakened; it can only be used as a common rope.

"Aaargh! I hate Slimes even more now!!!" Seraphina was so furious she nearly stamped her feet.

Looking at the whip in her hand, now missing its end and bereft of its spirit, she felt like crying but had no tears to shed.

This meant that for the rest of her escape, she had lost an important tool for ranged attacks and crowd control.

Having lost her whip, Seraphina had to rely more on her [Cleaner] Skills.

She tried casting [Clean Bubble] and [Disinfection Bubble] at the approaching Slimes.

The pure white bubbles landed on the dark yellow ooze, creating an even more intense "TSSSSS" sound.

It was as if they were fighting against a force of contamination, but the effect was just a drop in the ocean.

They could only slightly slow the Slimes’ squirming or purify a negligible trace of corruption from their surfaces.

But they couldn’t inflict any real damage, let alone cleanse them completely like she could with the Sludge Monsters.

The absolute difference in Level was on full display.

Soon, things got even worse.

During one dense encirclement by the Slimes, despite her best efforts to dodge, Seraphina was grazed on the outside of her left calf by a small Slime that ambushed her from the side!

"Aargh—!!"

An intense, searing pain, as if from a combination of sulfuric acid and a branding iron, shot through her. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
