Syl: Chapter 302
🕑 Added 2025-08-06 06:15:01 +0000 UTCChapter 302: Heal Slime
After everyone calmed down, Loreleia, with the help of Paeris, began to explain the actual plan. I was still surprised that they didn't want me entirely stripped of the Sylthaeryn identity anymore.
While having me "killed off" was an option, it was one they wanted to avoid. I'd garnered quite a name for myself and my accomplishments in the dungeon, and even the relationship established with the Carren branch was fruitful.
There was also the situation to deal with that the Feirelle branch needed to be managed, and I, fulfilling the role of Sylthaeryn, was the only successful heir.
Paeris might have also been an option, but he refused to leave Loreleia's side and wanted to be an intermediary between her and the branch. He would remain her right-hand man while also aiding whoever was in charge of the Feirelle branch.
Llewel, on the other hand, had many accomplishments and his status as a Chronomancer was highly coveted; however, he lacked the supposed "purity" of being closely related to the origin families of the elves. So while he could be fully adopted into the family and eventually nominated to lead, it was a process that would take years to accomplish.
The shortcut would be for him to marry the current heir, me, at least on paper, anyway. I was heavily against it for obvious reasons, and so was Llewel. After all, who would want to marry a slime? But Loreleia stressed that it could be boiled down to announcing the engagement at a party, and claiming to have a "private wedding" that doesn't actually occur.
Of course, Llewel made frequent mention of his dislike of politics and his reluctance to be in such a prime position. But, despite his protests, it was evident he would accept the duty if ordered to.
Wow, I'm so glad I don't have such social obligations. I'm perfectly happy to stay a free agent doing whatever I want, whenever I want. Not going to be planting any roots for the foreseeable future, nope!
To Llewel's relief, Paeris offered to provide ample support in all his duties and also guidance. He'd been Loreleia's faithful advisor for decades and was more than capable of fulfilling the role himself, and he had been during mine and Loreleia's absence.
After our "marriage," Loreleia would take her claims to the high elven court, where she would fully announce her triumphant ascension as well as lay the claims against the Dornhallows. The evidence of their attacks against me would also be front and center. As a result, "Sylthaeryn" would be taking a leave of absence for safety concerns and delegating the management of the Feirelle branch to Llewel.
Since Vee and I wanted to go to the Vaelyssan Sea, Loreleia would ask the Nyrelis elves for safe passage to their grove for me. It would require some diplomatic favors on her part, but she was more than willing to, especially since I'd hardly used any of my privileges as the Feirelle heir.
"Admittedly, I feel we owe you a lot," Loreleia said with a sigh. "I thought I'd finally get to pay back some of your goodwill with your trade agreement with the Carren family, but then you went and arranged all of that on your own without even using a single one of our resources."
"I wouldn't say no to more slime cores," I admitted while greedily staring at the rose-gold core.
"I genuinely tried to obtain a second, but they are truly rarities of the highest order. This one was assigned to create a lifesaving elixir for myself, should the need arise."
"What about a black, grey, or gold slime core?" I asked.
"The first two don't spawn in any of our dungeons. You'd need to find a labyrinth if you want to encounter them," Llewel said. "As for a gold slime, I can't say I've ever even heard of one."
"Apparently, they are catalysts for alchemy and enchanting," I explained.
"Truly? No wonder I've never heard of them then, they must be craved even more so than the pink slimes," he replied, a look of wanting in his eyes not dissimilar to my own.
"Wow, you two are already acting like a couple," Vee teased. "Only you two would drool so greedily longingly over slime cores."
Llewel was slightly flustered by her remark, while I just rolled my eyes. My levels in [Vee Resistance] were growing by the day.
"If it's just a party announcing it, and that's all, then I think I'm okay with that," I admitted.
"Plus, it means we could, in theory, return here," Vee replied.
Loreleia nodded. "Although I'd advise against making any returns as Sylthaeryn until the Dornhallows are completely dealt with. But that shouldn't be a problem for you."
"Yeah, I could even disguise myself as a plantsprite now if I wanted. Also, I will say that Vee and I could potentially teleport directly to the Feirelle hometree if need be."
"You two must have made considerable progress in [Dimension Magic] since we last spoke…" Llewel murmured.
"That's good to know," Loreleia replied. "I'd like to keep an amicable relationship with you two in the future. Who knows what other [Experiments] might be discovered or other common enemies between us, and I'm sure both of us would appreciate having powerful allies if need be."
"Sounds good to me," I replied cheerfully.
"Yeah, I'm still not a fan of the Outeatus Kingdom, so I'd love to settle the score," Vee added.
With not much more to discuss at present, Loreleia handed over the pink slime core to me. I cradled it in my hands like a fragile egg, gazing at the luster of the rose-gold sheen in the light.
"I don't know why you're making such a fuss about it when you're just going to eat it," Vee interrupted.
"It's my first one since becoming a prismatic slime! I have no idea what it will do," I replied, trying to get Vee to share in my bubbling excitement.
"Eh… I guess I've seen you eat so many cores at this point that it's lost its charm."
I waved dismissively at her harsh attitude and returned my attention to the beautiful core before me. The brown slime was a massive disappointment, except for unlocking vegetarian meal options for me. However, I hoped it would open up many new doors for me!
I placed the core in my mouth and swallowed it, noticing Llewel failing to hide his apprehension. After all, I'd effectively just eaten what could be considered an alchemist's treasure.
<Compatible core detected. Integrate new core?>
Yes!
<Slime (Pink) Core absorbed. Trait [Heal Slime LV 2] gained.>
<Trait [Heal Slime LV 2] has been automatically merged into [Primordial Slime LV 17].>
Other than the notifications mentioning my success, I didn't really notice a change. Presumably, if I looked at my core in its natural colors, I'd have a new stripe added, with my slime now having a pink sheen to its amalgamation of shifting colors.
"Huh… only level two? I guess the pink slime was not at a high level."
"How could they? They can't even attack, and even feeding them is a nightmare," Llewel replied.
"The ultimate in pacifism," Vee commented.
I shrugged and dug into my [Primordial Slime] trait. Right at the bottom of my list was the newly acquired [Heal Slime]. I pulled up the description and began to read through it eagerly.
<[Heal Slime]
This slime contains healing and regenerative properties with efficacy based on its trait level.
A gentle and almost nurturing slime that feeds only on dead, decaying, or rotting matter, while displaying effects similar to [Acid Slime] against the undead. This anti-undead effect scales in direct proportion to its healing capabilities.
Heal Slime is known to have many alchemical applications due to its almost entirely neutral behavior, except in poisons and caustics.
In its raw form, it can be ingested and will act like an impromptu healing potion, although the effects are greater if applied more like a salve to the wounded area. It can also act as an impromptu antidote, although it mostly stifles the spread and prevents exacerbation.
Compatible with other slime traits.>
"Oh wow… That's quite a lot."
"A lot of good, I hope?" Vee asked.
"Right off the bat, apparently my slime is like a super salve that can close wounds. Also, it hurts the undead, and apparently I can eat them now."
"That's oddly convenient considering who we are up against," Vee replied.
"Healing is in direct opposition to death and undeath alike, so I wouldn't say it's that uncommon. If you've ever encountered a vampire, they cannot be healed and instead are burnt from even basic healing spells," Loreleia replied.
"Still, that's interesting… so pink slimes can eat undead? This is very valuable information to have," Llewel said excitedly, going as far as to write it down in a small notebook he had.
"If you didn't know about the undead, then what were you feeding them before?" Vee asked.
"Blight mushrooms were the most common thing we found… although considering they spread deathblight, perhaps we should have clued in on the pink slimes eating dead things," Llewel murmured.
"Who would dare risk a living pink slime against an undead to even test that theory?" Loreleia pointed out. "Considering how fragile their cores can be, even a basic skeleton with a rusty dagger would likely kill them."
"Well, I'm more than happy to test against any undead," I said happily. "Also, I can probably learn healing magic now."
As if prompted, Loreleia held out her hand and displayed the skill for me. I'd already seen it thanks to Evan, but I appreciated the gesture.
<[Healing Magic].>
"Oh no… another kind of magic in the ever-growing pile of Syl's forgotten skills," Vee snickered.
"I'll get to them eventually…" I defended myself.
Naturally, I bought it on the spot, as I didn't see any reason not to at this stage, even with Vee's teasing.
<Skill [Healing Magic LV 1] obtained. Skill Points remaining: 14.>
<[Healing Magic LV 1] spell [Vital Surge] learned.>
While the spell had a spectacular name, as a first-level spell, it left a lot to be desired, as I had its knowledge installed directly into my core.
Despite being in a category literally called healing magic, this particular spell did not do that. Instead, this spell caused the recipient's body to swell with energy and promote a swift recovery using its natural healing factors.
The one benefit of this was that it was a long-lasting buff, which meant upkeep of it was extremely easy to do. I'd never seen a spell with a default duration already in the hours, so it was a bit of a surprise.
"I suggest you dedicate some time towards this, if Vee is correct about you forgetting to train your skills. While they start off a little lackluster, they do become quite potent after the first few spells," Loreleia commented.
"Thanks for the advice, I'll definitely keep it in mind."
I could almost sense a "sure you will" about to come from Vee, but it didn't, which might have actually frustrated me more than her saying it outright.
"Although I will say at the moment I'm more likely to use [Heal Slime], since it's at level seventeen already."
The three elves in the room all broke their composure, even Loreleia, who was always like a perfect picture frozen in time, failed to hide her genuine shock and surprise.
"H-how!?" Llewel asked, almost demanding.
"It merged with my [Primordial Slime] trait."
"Which is at level seventeen?" he asked again, a little calmer.
I nodded. "I honestly thought it would be higher after merging ten traits. Hell, I didn't even get a level up from my eleventh trait being added to it."
"Ten traits?" Paeris muttered.
"I did say I was collecting slime traits."
"I don't think any of us truly comprehended how many you were collecting," Loreleia responded, her mask of composure already fully repaired.
"Gods, my only uncapped trait is level eleven," Llewel stammered, still appearing stupefied. "And you're telling me you've got one at level seventeen!"
I better not tell him I've got a second trait already at level twelve then…
"The true power of the cheating slime is revealed," Vee chimed in.
I glared at her.
"You've got to give me a sample of some pink slime," Llewel asked, almost begging. "I need to see what it can do for my potions."
"Sure, I don't mind. I already gave you a sample of blue slime."
"Hey, if it's good, you might be able to start selling it. Make a fortune!" Vee excitedly suggested.
"You might genuinely be able to make an empire of slime," Loreleia replied, and while her words might have sounded humorous, her tone was entirely serious.
Paeris cleared his throat, "Might I suggest a potential trading agreement in the future?"
"Hey, that's a brilliant idea!" Llewel quickly agreed.
"I'm sure we can come to some kind of arrangement," Vee interjected, as if she were taking the role of my agent or spokesperson.
I couldn't help rolling my eyes at the silly spider, although this interaction did spur a random thought.
Now that I'm effectively a pink slime, could I get diplomatic immunity from the other kingdoms?

She should also provide a sample which is heal slime + mana slime. Having it be combined using her traits should be more effective than the elves just mixing the two together though again would be interesting to test.
Kasamuri
Thanks for the chapter!
Aaron Harris
After Loreleia crushes the guilty Dornhallows under her boot, if she is so inclined maybe she will let the innocent ones live as slime farmers since we just learned pink slimes can feed off of the undead.
Hayden Leech
Aaand you can have it all…My empire of… slime.
M. Lampi
Thanks for the chapter! Syl has become a slime trading powerhouse! Edit suggestion: "Only you two would drool so greedily longingly over slime cores." ==> "Only you two would drool so greedily and longingly over slime cores."
Kenneth Welever
I see her getting a black slime and then impersonating a floating island with a lot of subcores where she grows her tree home on top of her slime. Has a giant bowl of rock for her massive main body and she uses her silver slime aspect to make enough foatstone to be a floating island.
Roombot
It would definitely be the latter, until she eats enough morons that they go for a business solution instead of
Kenneth Welever
Also.... Isn't it just like Syl to be able to turn into a direct counter to her enemies. As a final olive branch to the donhallows if they are willing to allow such a thing.... They could cultivate their undead to directly feed living pink slimes to power level them in the hopes of creating a pink slime queen. Imagine the political power of revealing that potential after smashing them and then going- "too bad, so sad. You could have born your way to becoming the greatest of all branches with our help but you chose to target us instead." And attributing these findings to Sylthayrin's exploits in the adventurer's guild.
SwitchBlaze
Lovely Chappie. Thank you.
Kenneth Welever
At that point she could become massive and blob her way through the dwarven hold, slimeshotting alcohol slime into tankards for a celebration and the dwarves would just celebrate her existence more. They would go to war for her. *New dwarven charge tactic* "Now I want you all to take that gully of outitus knights!" *Kicks keg of Syl booze downhill towards the knights..... A roar is heard, a rumble is felt, the mountain quakes as a sea of dwarven kind follow the keg into battle!*
Kenneth Welever
Here's a thought... Level 17 alcohol slime presented to the dwarves.... All is forgiven all hail Syl, The Lord of booze! Most favored of dwarven allies! After all, they almost lost their minds over the far inferior level... 4-6ish poison slime alcohol trait.
Kenneth Welever
Now to wonder if she can aspect her subcores into healing slime cores and sacrifice them to make the life saving elixir
GryphonKnight
Just came here from RavensDagger’s Save Scumming on Royal Road / Patreon (so slightly lewd frame of mind) > swell with energy and promote a swift recovery Syl Fanfic has just unlocked some truly epic harem potential with her level 1 Healing Trait (okay and recently watching _Dealing with Mikadono Sisters is a Breeze_ anime) (Teasing) Luckily it is a sham marriage or her groom might not survive the Honeymoon
Gopard
Thanks for the chapter! Slimy immunity for the walking talking and jowfully devouring and murdering its enemies Pink Prismatic Shapeshifting Slime Syl! Nice going!!!
mbncd
Thank you for the chapter!
dothuman
Doubt it. Most cases in fiction Holy is pretty much barred from all monstrous creatures. Even pink slimes here seem to just artificially bolster and stimulate the body's natural healing to an obscene degree. At it's current level Heal Slime is probably capable of regeneration, though. Which is a fun thought. Honestly, Syl giving a bit of extremely mana dense slime is one thing. But giving him access to what may as well be the elixir of life? That's gonna turn some heads lol.
Engineer4God
Tank oo fur da chap!
Tim
I feel like atleast this group is too involved to go against her, revealing she is a slime or killing her, is bad the family will lose face or worse for letting a monster pretendto be an Elf. Keeping her Prisoner would be possible to extract slime. But Keeping a Space mage permanently seems like a disaster long term and that might encourage the wrath of Gods if Syl doesn't get to evolve. Trying to get friendly Relationships & maybe getting exclusive trading rights is probably more Profitable. Though revealing the same to other groups might be more dangerous.
Livingcog
Did this give Syl Holy affinity? Like can she now learn holy magic?
Tim
I am sure the Elven Ambassador has already made something up & the presence of real assassin's is probably good enough to clear any doubts.
Hayden Leech
Before they depart they should come up with a cover story explaining to the dwarves how “The Outeatus Kingdom attacked the elven embassy with some kind of alchemical slime bomb” and they had to evacuate their princess to safety. Just so Syl can go back to dwarfland one day.
Hayden Leech
In a similar vein I think Syls Water waste byproduct stuff is going to make plants flourish everywhere Syl fights as a slime. Lvl 17 mulch slime fertilizer.
Magnadra
I would be really intrested on how insane that Elixier would be, since most would be made from slimes that are like level 5 (my estimate) at most vs her 17
Hayden Leech
So Syl is uber death to the undead now. Acid slime and heal slime at max density will cause undead to just cease to exist on contact.
Magnadra
Since alcohol is poisen it could also negate the effect instantly but good idea
Magnadra
Elves have converst over Mirrors before but I am not sure if they need to be stationare. Mana should not be a problem
Lionheart Copperhead
honestly it could give diplomatic immunity or absolutely everyone will be trying to capture Syl
Hayden Leech
I wonder how Syl is supposed to contact Lorelia in the future. Can she just walk into any Elven Embassy? Will she give Syl a magic item? It seems like she can’t just walk into a grove and use their tree to get to the Feirelle tree without it being previously negotiated.
Aura
Diplomatic immunity or most wanted slime in existence, what's the difference? I would LOVE to hear Syl run her Dungeon idea by Loreleia lmao. Panacea Potions! Which makes me think, could she make a Healing Liquor? Gets a dwarf drunk & cures their hangover at the same time. That might be extremely dangerous for their entire society haha.
Vivi
TFTC!

The slime that launched a thousand ships...
The Arcane Emperor
Syl's excessive honesty and Vee's big mouth will eventually get them into big trouble. Even their elven “allies” are tempted by Syl's slime.

Slime potions… Slime potions… get your slime potions here! I wonder if she can reform one of her secondary cores to a pink slime core, ejecting it and it can be used for such an elixir. Thanks for the chapter.
CringeWorthyStudios
Uncapped [Vee Resistance] just evolves to [Shame Immunity].
Blanc
TFTC! With how mana slime amplifies Syl's mana does heal slime do the same for life force? Syl has no skill to mask that one for now iirc.
Magnus
"This one was assigned to create a lifesaving elixir for myself, should the need arise." - I hope they use some of that slime to make an emergency potion for her. Though maybe she doesn't need it as much now that she ascended?
Nemesis
Haha, gotta love those levels in 'Vee resistance'. I wonder what happens when you uncap it 😜 Also, diplomatic immunity just for being a super pink slime, gotta love the optimism 😀
Napalm078
Still no, Syl.

Thanks for the chapter!
