I just had to ask...
HOW DID THE ATTACK LAND EXACTLY IN THE TINY PIECE OF ARMOR SHE HAD INSTEAD OF ANY OTHER PART OF HER EXPOSED BODY?! HOW! :notlikethis:
I see the idea, either make it more liquid so it can't hold it's shape or solidify it so it can't move... But do they have the resource though? and would the slime willingly eat it.
As far as I know, while sugar is hygroscopic (absorb water), it cannot keep it's surrounding in a state of dryness like a desiccant. So while it would work, it's not very good at it.
That... might work actually... Creature that rely on protective film to keep them hydrated like slug or snail shown to be extremely weak to being covered by salt since it pulls all their moisture, leaving them severely dehydrated.
But it doesn't seem disturbing the surface tension would work. It is mentioned in the previous chapter that cutting it would just divide it, creating 2 slime out of one.
I'm swear I'm straight but why is he so cute....
...Don't ask why I'm this far in the story when I'm saying stuff like that, I don't even know myself why I'm still here... :notlikethis:
