Slime Stone.
It was a hardened piece of slime flesh that had turned into stone, and its value as a material item or an ordinary item was among the lowest of the low.
However, the Slime Stone that Nam Hae-won brought was different from the ordinary kind in appearance from the start.
Nam Hae-won spoke.
“It seems like this is the top-tier version, as it can’t be synthesized any further. The item information says so too.”
Su-ho took it and checked the information.
[Meta Slime Stone]
It seemed like she was really in a hurry.
Su-ho understood.
She probably wanted to get rid of the cursed Mega Crusher as soon as possible.
Su-ho smiled and responded.
“Of course. Where would you like to meet? Are you at the Association right now?”
Now that its host was unconscious, its movements were sluggish as well.
“It’s just like a worm.”
A worm with steel teeth, that is.
There were actually many ways to remove this creature.
The most common and simplest method was to cut the item directly out of its host’s body.
But that came with a high risk of killing the host.
“I can’t go that far just for one item.”
“Either way, it would probably result in death or some kind of aftereffects.”
Whoosh!
“And one of those status ailments is ‘parasitism.’”
“Honestly, Recovery is like a deworming treatment.”
The Mega Crusher currently implanted in Kang Seul-gi’s body was still in its early stage, not yet fully evolved. That was why Su-ho's Recovery skill was able to work.
“If it evolves further later, ordinary Recovery won’t even make a dent.”
Thinking about it this way, Kang Seul-gi from his past life seemed like a truly unfortunate person.
If only he hadn’t been so scared and had told people about his condition from the start, he could have gained freedom long before the “Disassembler Incident” ever happened.
“But thanks to that, he learned the combinations for many items...”
It was an ironic situation—something to feel sympathy for while also being grateful.
And then, it happened—the moment when Su-ho’s Recovery began to seep into the Mega Crusher.
The parasite instinctively sensed something.
It could feel that the light that was spreading through it was very harmful to its existence.
Perhaps that’s why?
