Walker felt that he needed to do more, while the water elemental arrow formed the ice he used his multi boost skill to improve the rate of attack and damage. He had been holding off for the right moment to optimize the time they had while boosted.
The water elemental mana was being pulled in faster and faster, Walker used his grand elemental manipulation and frost whips to push in even more. The mana was more than the wind arrow had just done and was already causing a significant amount of ice to form on the minimized slime.
With the additional boost of Walker's skill and the added water elemental mana the minimized slime struggles to shake free of the ice. It was constantly losing layers of its minimized slime body. The tentacles it tried to form to bring in anything it could use as food were also frozen and fell to the forest floor in shards.
"Gil, I am going in. Cover me." Walker knew this was enough to slow the slime and maze a frontal attack. Gil prepared another water elemental wither spike arrow to keep the slime slow and stuck.
Gil's arrow was just ahead of Walker and drew in more of the existing water elemental mana. The slime was forced to nearly a full stand still. The tentacles had trouble even growing from its body. Gil smiled at the sight of the defenseless minimized massive slime. He knew that Walker was about to deal a devastating blow.
Walker released the two frost whips he had after making them freeze solidly around the slime. He was within striking distance of the slime and jumped up to gain momentum. His draconic crusher appeared from his inventory channeling the water element now thick in the air.
The hammer came down full force delivering the elemental smash right to the most frozen part of the slime. The damage was substantial as a large piece of the body chipped off and was sent a decent distance away. The water elemental mana made the spot Walker had just struck start to freeze again preventing any tentacles to form.
Before he could set up another swing Remey was already there with a defense breaking palm attack on the way. She had also seen the opening and did not want to waste her best chance to attack.
When her palm struck the minimized slime there was an ear piercing crack of ice and another large piece of the slime fell from it. The condensed body was more frozen than the slime could properly defend. The dense state made the ice that cracked off breaking larger pieces and starting to show the edge of its core.
Calen and Midnight looked to be teaming up and both attacked the ice on the slime's body together. Calen came at break neck speed with a kick and Midnight was using her claws to shave away more ice. Walker had not needed to say anything due to the group's intuition. They had seen the chance to use their strength and did not waste it.
"Get back!" Gil waited for a second as everyone jumped back and another one of the water elemental arrows made contact. The spot that the slime had lost was still frozen and being kept that way. Its body glowed with the darkness elemental mana it had collected. It was trying to get rid of the ice that was stopping it from moving and growing. However, the slime was not able to get rid of the ice since the ice was made of its own body.
"Don't let up on it!" Walker was already making two more frost whips to keep up the ice while Remey and Midnight had already moved in for another attack. Their hits c=shaved off more ice exposing more of the core. The problem was that the parts of the slime's body that were not frozen were moving to protect the core and keep it within the body.
Su had made it to the slime behind everyone, but she knew that there was a chance for her to use the sharp bottom part of her shields. She used her shield bash skill to stab downwards and pierce the area in the slime's body near the core. The ice cracked and the shield pierced the slime's body forcing the core out even more. Her shield was resisting the decaying effect of the slime's body and holding firmly even though the slime was trying to push it away.
Walker watched as Remey and Midnight moved in to hit the shield as well. Remey came down with a hammer fist pushing the shield further. Midnight used her skeletal tail whip to slam the shield downward. The minimized massive slime core was nearly dislodged from the slime completely.
There was a massive release of darkness elemental mana from the unfrozen slime body as it tried to protect its core in the last ditch effort. However, Gil was there already and using his dagger ha stabbed downward fully tearing the core from the slime body. The core fell in to a dull purple state along with the body starting to condense in to a crystallized purple form.

Walker saw the notification and breathed heavily. Gil was on one knee trying to stay tall in their victory. Midnight, Remey, and Su were leaning on each other for stability while Calen was sitting completely still just staring at the dormant slime core. "Ha ha ha, that serves it right. Now it is nothing but two useless rocks."
Wade's voice shook them from their silence in victory. Alma had made it to his side and was holding him up while she made the blue ivy grow to make a firmer splint. Her mana was on its last drop but from the looks of the surrounding, she had used it all to the best possible use. There was blue ivy everywhere covering every possible plant. There was nothing left that could be harmed.
"Wade! Are you feeling OK? Don't move." Calen rushed to his side worried that Wade was pushing himself to move while in this state.
"Don't worry, Walker got rid of the decay. He also set me up pretty well in just a few minutes. He must have practiced first aid." Wade gave Walker a happy nod. He was in a good mood to see that the slime was defeated. "Gil, you really surprised me there. When Alma sat me up and I saw that last arrow fly I thought I was looking at my master. You really were something amazing."
"Eh, sorry for keeping it from you. I just know that it could cause trouble. But I am glad you know now." Gil had been worried the entire time he talked with Wade that he would not be able to form a proper friendship with this archer because of the secret he hid.
"No, I understand. That was a great scene to watch." He grimaced as the blue ivy was made tighter around the splint. Walker made it to his side as well using some mana on the light heal skill to bring him closer to full health.
Su had gathered the dormant slime cores and gave it to Walker to hold on to. They had gotten another valuable material in their quest for research. Not wanting to miss it Walker went to store the crystallized purple slime body. The group had persevered the odds and defeated the slime that could have caused the end of the entire elven city.
Before they could keep talking and relax Onyx slithered out of the shadows. "Brother, I was able to capture the core of a strange slime. It was hiding around some trees as everyone fought." Onyx spit up a small clear slime core. It was different from all the others the party had collected so far. The clear crystal color gave no inclination to what the element it had was or what if could do. Walker took it and used his all around appraisal skill to get an idea.
