Floor 81st, Carnivores Forest.

Flame... Raging flame, dancing throughout the forest, burning down the last of the flesh-eating trees.

Vayne watches as the corpse of an ape-like creature burns among the trees with a disturbing ear to ear smile.

For the last few months, that creature had been a major nuisance. Not only could it travel between floor, but it is also always harassing both him and the thing.

But today, finally, after days and days of relentless hunting, he finally took it down, with the whole forest as collateral.

"Master, have you had enough fun?" the thing ask, standing at the side with its hands in front of it.

"yep, I had, who would have thought revenge could feel so sweet. I could get used to this feeling." taking a deep breath I could smell the foul stench of smoke and also a sweet smell of flesh being roasted. Yup, the time spent was well worth it.

"let's go, the stairs aren't that far from here." finding the stairs isn't hard, just look for the only big tree that is not burned. The stairs are actually interesting, it is built into the tree and the steps aren't as long as the stairs from the previous theme.

Another interesting thing is that the previous trees look normal with their leaves and branches as it's top, I mean it's a stair going up, how is it not connected to the ceiling?

Speaking of the ceiling, I finally figured out the "sky" inside the dungeon. It wasn't an actual sky perse but a smooth surface made out of a crystal, the crystal itself is full of pure energy and I start calling them "energy crystal", I know my naming is great.

Anyway, these crystal mimic the warmth and light usually generated by the sun, allowing the plant life here to thrive. The crystal itself is white in color, so my speculation is that the blue "sky" above is the excess energy within the crystal leaking out or moving around from one cluster to the other.

How do I get a sample of the crystal you ask? Uh... Well, let's just leave it at I "flew", okay?

Reaching the end of the stairs, we stood in a small square room much like the previous boss room. seems like this area is a resting area after every boss fight but as I am climbing out instead of in, it has become the resting area before the boss hahaha.

Not that I need it though, maybe it's the perk of being a puppet but the recovery of all three of my bar are quite fast, just the short walk and climb and my Hp, Sta, and Mp have reached back into full.

To my disappointment, the boss room looks identical to the previous one, just fewer roots and more goo.

Yes goo, sticky light blue goo, left behind by the approaching boss. A boss that I stare at with deadpan look.

Out of all creature, there could be, it looks like a certain RPG game king slime, just less face, and no crown.

Well... At least the core is good, let's just beat it up and extract it.

Oh yeah, I've never spoken much about the essence menu huh, well let's just leave it for another day, it's nothing urgent for now.

Seeing it has no visible weakness... and that it only moves a fourth of the distance even after all my monologue, I decided to lunge at it and swung a punch at its body(?), Thinking it would be blown away. Instead, I am the one having the feeling of weightlessness before being caught by little hands.

Checking my status bar at the top left corner of my view, it seems like my damage has been returned to me as I have lost 12% of my Hp.

Getting to my feet, I walked up to the slime. as it finally reaches me, it basically just touch me with its wet surface of a body and nothing else, much to my disappointment.

Placing my hand on it, I start extracting it. As it was extracted it keeps shrinking so I had to follow it until it is completely gone.

Using cleanse I cleaned myself before walking up to the thing who is already waiting for me and went through the gate. I just hope this floor isn't some kind of slime paradise.
