Slime attack!
Yeah, it was unexpected, but in this wild world, I guess you can find monsters around without much effort.
Well, it wouldn't have bothered us if it weren't because the wolves were going through the ground, but I guess that's pretty good as well, they can find us new monsters to eat while we fly over the skies without any concerns.
With Benladann and Yuki over my back, I quickly flew down below and reached the ground in an instant!
"There!" said Benladann, pointing with her axe as I used winds to impulse me forward, crossing dozens of meters in a single second, and reaching the battlefield right away!
There, we found a group of over 20 Slimes the size of cows, each one was either pale blue, azure, or dark blue-colored, some even had large ice crystals growing over them.
The Slimes were attacking the wolf pack, with the largest one, who seemed to have a small crown of ice above its gelatinous body fighting against Frost. It extended its tentacles and formed fists, which is used to literally punch him!
Frost tried to bite it and slash it with his jaws and claws, but it was receiving no damage whatsoever.
The other wolves were in a similar predicament but worse. Some of them even had large wounds, as some slimes were able to fire powerful icicle spears. While some other wolves were being slowly consumed by the slimes gastric juices.
I guess there's no room for conversations here.
"T-They're made of water?! Agh! The wolves!"
Benladann quickly jumped from my back and enhanced her body, using magic to hit the nearest Slime with a strong slicing attack!
CLASH!
The slime was sliced in half, but it quickly regenerated back like nothing!
"W-What?!"
It was as I thought, Slimes cannot be killed by merely hitting their slime, you need to crack their core inside their jelly-like bodies!
"Blob!"
The slime released a sound of its watery body trembling, as it springled towards Benladann and jumped over her head, expanding its body into tentacles and covering itself with gastric acids to consume her!
"Now on my watch!"
With a single roar, I aimed at the slime with a powerful gust of slicing winds, blowing it into the air as it splattered all over the ground!
SPLAT!
I checked it through analysis before it was to regenerate itself back.

…
Oh, this is the weakest one, and it's an upper stage, these guys are born strong it seems.
And you can clearly tell by its big and juicy mana core, freely exposed over some of its jellies!
"Drake, thanks!" said Benladann, as she rushed towards the slime.
"Don't aim at its slime, try to crush the mana core inside!" I said, as Benladann obediently nodded, raising her axe again and crushing the mana core before the slime was to completely gather!
CRASH!
And like a puppet that lost its strings, all the slime stopped moving and fell motionless!
What strange and intriguing creatures…
Well, there's no time to wonder how they work! I gave the order to the wolves to quickly regroup around me, while I rushed towards the ones that were about to get killed!
The slimes noticed my presence, but they simply hurried into consuming the wolves!
"Awooo!" cried a wolf, as its legs were slowly being burnt by the acidic juices that slimes employed to devour prey.
"Gotcha!" I roared, reaching the slime in less than a second, surprising the slime due to the speed I had, which was unbefitting of my big and heavy body!
"Blob!?"
The slime in front of me is another Water Slime, of the same rank as the other.
But unlike I thought, instead of getting scared, it raises its slime and shapes it as sharp tentacles, attacking me with them while spraying me with its dissolving acid!
Splash! Clash!
The acid falls over my scales, but they are barely doing anything.
I have to be careful not to kill the wolf while I attack the slime, so instead, I create a sharp and thin icicle spear and throw it directly at the slime's mana core, which was right in front of me!
Flash!
The slime realizes this as it tries to move away from its weak point while detaching itself from the wolf.
Clash!
Barely, the slime managed to evade, but it lost its prey!
It suddenly realizes the difference in strength between me and it, as it tries to run away!
No way in hell I am letting this meal get away from me though.
With a single swipe of my claws, I release slicing emerald winds, reaching the slime and splattering it all over the place!
SPLAT!
And with that, the mana core is caught in the attack, and shattered into pieces!
Crash!
With a single swipe, he's gone.
I glance at the wolf as I quickly conjure the healing magic I have been practicing, Healing Winds.
Magic can become any type. In this world, you don't need holy light magic or life magic to heal people, any kind of attribute can become a healing spell.
So, using my knowledge and training in magic, I made an Ice and Wind Attribute Healing spell, Healing Winds.
The winds quickly reach the wolf's burnt skin, slowly taking away the pain and regenerating the lost tissue. The wolf gains the ability to move again and rushes to the rest of the wolves, who are near Benladann while she cracks some mana cores from these devilish slimes.
Meanwhile, I rush towards the next slimes, as two slimes get in my way, trying to stop me from stopping their allies from eating my tamed wolves.
"Get off my way!" I roar, as I use my mighty aura of fear to intimidate the slimes for a second, and then I use my claws to simply crush them into the ground, their mana cores get cracked into tiny pieces with ease!
Crash! Crash!
