Sui, seeing the Mithril Crocodon hit Seojun with its tail, became furious.
"Kyuu! How dare it hit Master!" Without a second thought, Sui bounced high, aiming to attack the creature.
"Sui, wait!" Seojun quickly reached out and grabbed the little slime mid-air, just in time to activate a barrier. As he did, the Crocodon shot out sharp blue scales from its back, each one gleaming like metal.
Clink! Clink! The mithril scales pierced through the air, striking Seojun's barrier. Though they didn't break through, the force behind them was clear.
Seojun jumped up to a nearby tree, dodging as three more Mithril Crocodons charged toward him, their heavy bodies shaking the ground.
Once safely on a branch, Seojun looked down at Sui, who was still fuming in his hands. "Sui, you can't just attack without thinking. Look at what we're dealing with."
"But Master," Sui protested, "you can easily kill them, right? Why bother understanding it?"
