Dota: Becoming a God Starting with Dragon Knight

After eating the slime, the giant slime was satisfied and wanted to return to the center of the lake.

But while coming here was easy, going back won't be so easy.

Li Ming had already made preparations on the shore. He had clipped the [Holy Staff] from his inventory to his waist and put on a [Vampire Mask] on his face.

-----------------

Vampire Mask: +18% lifesteal

Each attack by the attacker will restore a percentage of their health based on the damage dealt.

-----------------

He then placed a special item—the Holy Sword—into the empty inventory slot.

-----------------

Holy Sword: +100 Attack Power

An additional 250 attack power or 25% skill enhancement.

-----------------

As a physical damage dealer, he naturally chose the effect that increases attack power, meaning that the holy sword directly increased his attack power by 350 points.

Now, his normal attack deals 554 damage and also heals him for 100 health.

A normal Tier 2 can be killed in two strikes, and even a peak Tier 2 can be killed in no more than twenty strikes.

The Holy Sword has one drawback: it is dropped upon death.

Normal equipment will not be lost upon death as long as it is in your inventory, except for the Holy Sword.

However, this drawback isn't really a drawback in reality, since all the equipment you're carrying will drop when you die anyway, so having one more item won't make a difference.

"Come on, let's have a thoroughly enjoyable battle!"

Li Ming roared and charged towards the giant slime, slicing off a thick piece of its body with a single strike.

The giant slime, in pain, stopped going back and charged at Li Ming, pressing down with its body, trying to swallow and digest him.

At this moment, the giant slime was standing in the shallow water, where Li Ming could also move around. He tapped his feet on the bottom of the water, jumped out of the slime's attack range, and then slashed off a large piece of flesh from its body.

Every time a piece of jelly flesh is sliced ​​off the giant slime, it sprays out a large amount of black slime, causing significant corrosive damage to Li Ming.

However, with the vampire mask in place, he can recover health with every strike, so if he really can't dodge, he just doesn't bother to dodge.

If anyone were there, they would see a person with a small knife, constantly slicing off pieces of jelly from a giant jelly.

Jelly was trying its best to recover from its injuries, and the jelly flesh kept regenerating, but overall it was still not as fast as Li Ming could cut it.

A moment later, Li Ming cut off most of the giant slime's body, and almost all of its slime was lost. It could no longer maintain its huge size and exploded with a "bang".

The giant slime was surrounded by black slime, and Li Ming was caught off guard and got covered in it.

"Cool!!!"

Ignoring the disgusting slime on his body, Li Ming let out a joyful roar.

It's like playing a Souls-like game in a past life, getting brutally beaten by the boss, and finally defeating it successfully—it's incredibly satisfying.

Amidst the slime covering the ground, a glowing object suddenly caught Li Ming's attention.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be the black gem on the head of the giant slime.

"It survived such a fierce battle without being damaged; it's truly a treasure!"

Li Ming picked up the gemstone and was about to examine it closely when he suddenly felt a sharp pain all over his body.

In the system panel, the health bar is decreasing at a rate of 10% per second.

Li Ming was startled and quickly ran out of the area covered by the black slime. He then washed the slime off his body in the water, which stopped his continuously decreasing health points.

Seeing his health points had dropped to three digits, Li Ming patted his rapidly beating heart in fear.

"Damn, we almost capsized in the gutter!"

"This thing is pretty insidious. It should just die peacefully, why is it poisonous?"

Arriving at a spot on the shore where there was no water and no slime from dead slimes, Li Ming took the black gem he had just acquired back into his hand to examine it.

[An absorbable rule-based item has been detected. Absorb?]

The system suddenly gave a notification.

Li Ming looked at the black gem in his hand with surprise. He put it on the ground, and the system notification disappeared. When he picked it up, the system notification reappeared.

"I've struck gold!!!!"

"absorb!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Ming had the system absorb the black gem.

[Absorption complete!]

[New template unlocked, current progress 1/10]

The new template was black and lacked a specific hero image, so Li Ming couldn't tell what kind of hero it was.

No problem, just unlock it.

Coincidentally, there are also more than a dozen giant slimes in the Black Lake.

"I only saw one during the day, but more than ten came out at night. They must be nocturnal."

"Looks like I need to step up my game and get rid of all these giant slimes tonight, or there won't be any left to farm by dawn."

Li Ming didn't even bother to rest. He poured himself a few mouthfuls of [Healing Ointment] and [Purification Potion], then picked up his fishing rod and went fishing for giant slimes again.

To increase the appeal of the giant slime, he tied up five slimes at once this time.

As it turns out, five slimes together are more attractive than one. Just put them in front of the giant slime, and it swims over like a dog seeing "Xiangxiang".

Then, Li Ming repeated the previous steps, weakening it little by little until its body disintegrated and exploded into a puddle of slime, and finally took the rule item—an unknown black gem.

This was repeated many times.

Li Ming's proficiency was getting higher and higher, and he could even kill the giant slime without taking any damage. After all, this thing only had a few moves, and the only one that was hard to dodge was the final explosion.

However, Li Ming could already tell when it reached its limit. Every time this happened, he would run to the side and use a [Flame Breath] to send the giant slime away, perfectly avoiding its final self-destruction.

......

As dawn broke, the little elves climbed out of their respective tents.

They ate breakfast happily, chatting and laughing, and discussing today's activities.

Li Ming dragged his tired body back to the camp at the entrance.

"Teaching assistant, Kevin said there's a black lake in the middle of the secret realm, and there are second-tier slimes in it."

"We're planning to try it out today, could you please escort us?"

The little elves surrounded Li Ming, chattering about their grand plan for the day.

How many of you are together?

"All of us! With so many people, we're sure nothing will happen to us."

"Okay." Li Ming replied nonchalantly, thinking about the Black Lake he had slaughtered. Even if there were any slimes that escaped, after his massacre last night, they would definitely not dare to show their faces today.

"Oh oh oh~"

"Today we're going to kill the second-tier boss!"

"I'm going to make the final cut."

"The achievement of killing someone of a higher level should belong to the great Sven Cage."

After receiving Li Ming's permission, the elves quickly finished their breakfast and then packed up their tents and other belongings.

Once they had made preparations, they rushed towards the central Black Lake.
