The guy who made Vesh's blood boil was in the tent. He was drawing blood from a pregnant woman's fingers and creating some kind of symbol on the ground.
Vesh didn't know what the heck he was doing, but that mother was tied, tears dried, and in despair after having accepted her fate.
Swoosh!
A mist knife copy materialized and shot forward silently.
Thud.
The man's head fell and rolled off the ground.
"What was that sound?"
The three men who were converging paused and looked in the tent's direction. They couldn't see what was happening inside since its entrance was the other way, and they didn't want to see whatever was happening inside.
Vesh silently arrived in the tent.
Looking at the mother, a young mother who was in her mid-twenties at that, Vesh used his new second form's power and provided her with energy, water, and nutrition.
As a Glacialblitz Slime, he acquired complete knowledge, characteristics, and aspects of Water, Ice, and Lightning attributes.
He could use their aspects, and even aspects from his other form, combining them to create a water that could heal and give all nutrients.
'What the heck was he doing?' Vesh looked at the blood symbol.
But first, he wanted to save this woman, so after taking the storage ring from the man's finger and any other container or stuff he found, putting it into the storage ring, and quietly exiting the tent in mist form, carrying the woman, and returning to his secret spot.
"Take care of her." Vesh handed her to Revi. "I am going to give you access to some attributes since we are bound. Do some practice on this rabbit first to scan it, and then do it on her to make sure she is alright."
Revi nodded with determination. "Leave it to me. I have learned about pregnancy from my mother."
"Good. I'll be back after finishing this business."
Vesh had made his second form's binding with Revi and acquired more Formless Essence.
Now his daily regeneration of Formless Essence was 1.1k.
Revi wanted to contribute and help, so Vesh decided to make her strong.
Husband and wife together could do better work, he felt.
…
"Fuck, he's dead! What the hell just happened?"
The four men were shocked and alert. They quickly took out their weapons and looked around the camp while keeping no more than 20 meters of distance between them.
Vesh was observing them from the sky. 'All of them are Tier-2.'
He began spreading poison invisible to the eyes. Quietly letting them inhale it as their conciousness began blurring.
Suddenly, one of them saw a black ghost in front of him holding a neon-sparkling dark green knife.
"Die!"
However, his one leg hit the other just as he dashed due to the poison's effect that messed with his agility.
Vesh flashed past him, and his head rolled.
"Tylore!"
"Damn it! Who is it?"
"I can't walk properly!"
"W-We are poisoned."
"Fuck, who is it?! Show yourself!"
Vesh appeared before the trio as they gathered around their dead companion's body.
Seeing them, all of them were shocked.
"D-Did Gunru manage to summon the spawnling?"
"I have never seen a spawnling before! How would I know?"
Vesh's eyes flickered. "So he was trying to summon a spawnling?"
'What the heck is that?'
Vesh needed to know more.
"What is a spawnling? Answer me, and I'll let you go."
The leader of the group was a bulky, muscled man with an axe.
He stepped forward, the effect poison minimal on him.
"Who are you?! And why did you attack us?!"
Vesh tilted his head. "That's an easy question. I was passing by, and saw you. Seeing that a pregnant woman was tortured and some strange shit was happening, I intervened."
The bulky man's face turned ugly. "Who told you to poke your head into other people's ass? Do you know who we are?"
"Don't know, don't care. Now answer my question, or I'll send you to the afterlife."
"Fucker! Die!"
Flinging his axe in the sky, it sparked with lightning before a thunderbolt shot at Vesh with blinding speed.
But Vesh was faster.
He flashed forward, two knives in his hand, and crossed over the bulky man.
Two frosty blue slashes formed an X across his body. In the next moment, he was frozen into a popsicle.
Slash!
Turning around, Vesh swung his knife after converting points into Sharpness.
Woosh!
In front of the wide and terror-filled eyes of the remaining two men, their leader was diced into twenty pieces.
"Are you going to tell me what a spawnling is, and what the hell were you gonna do with it?"
Two men looked at Vesh's spiraling crimson-black eyes, and their knees turned weak on top of the poison's effect.
The leader was peak Tier-2, but these were barely halfway through, their main stats were below 150.
But Vesh didn't have main stats except for Mystic Power.
He was formless. He was a nature of his own. By purely using attributes with his mystic energy, he could generate power.
People had their bodies act as a medium to develop and use attributes in various ways.
But he was attributing himself, who just needed a medium to acquire them—a.k.a his forms.
"S-Spawling is a fallen deity's remnant. There are strange scrolls that one can acquire in Mystic Ruins, and some scrolls have information about a fallen deity and the summoning methods."
"We are just here as guards so that the man you killed in the tent could complete the spawn circle."
The other one quickly followed. "We are here under the orders of the crown prince of the Tronto Kingdom."
"And a Spawnling is a disaster that can grow fast, becoming a Tier-5 existence swiftly before slowing down. But Tier-5 is enough to destroy this kingdom. It was supposed to destroy the town and feed there before continuing to destroy the Gotrak Kingdom."
"The only ones who would be able to kill Spawnlings are people from various Path Towers, so by the time they come here to deal with the Spawnling, this kingdom would be in shambles."
"After Spawnling is dealt with by strong people, they'll just leave, but Tronto Kingdom can finally make a move and take over Gotrak Kingdom."
"I see." Vesh nodded. "Now you can die."
Four knives materialized, two left and two right.
Before the two could understand anything, both of them were pierced by the knives, on the head and in the heart.
Killing these five Tier-2 people gave him 740 Formless Essence. It was higher than what he got from the two normal people at Tier-1 in the duke's party.
He took a storage ring from everyone's fingers and scoured the camp for anything useful, and put them in the storage rings.
And then, he finally returned after destroying the camp completely and throwing everything a few kilometers away.
'Time to check the loot.'
