A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

The imminent giant slime.

Its size is equal to that of the earliest mountain moving, but with the exception of the 'nucleus', the appearance of a colorless transparent slime will be a tsunami rather than a mountain.

― ― The water from Lake Mersena, which was pushed by the giant slime, actually became a tsunami.

"Moving is really not a fashionable way to attack..."

It was a realus that ran out of the "Dragon Slash", but as the slime landed, she noticed that the water of Lake Mersena was approaching like a wall and murmured.

Naturally, the Reurus on land is in a higher position. But the water pushed over the shoreline by the slime's giant body.

It is not swallowed by water because it is distant from the shore, but I want to hold my head outside the specifications of the slime that causes a tsunami just by moving.

"No... that's the first time I've ever had a monster like that opposed."

"I'm sorry..."

It was Reurus staring at the slime, which was gradually seeing the whole thing, but Jilba rushed over and lowered her head. But Jilba shook her head just not to care.

"Never mind. I can't expose Sarah and Neddy to anything unusual... oh, Neddy hasn't decided yet."

"Even when I asked Sarah, the reaction was subtle... so, what about the two Gregorians?

I didn't think Gilba would leave Canna and Laurent alone. When Reurus looks for the two of them, he sees them preparing for the slime at a greater distance than the Reurus.

Eliza and the others were at a distance from Lake Mersena, and Reurus and the others looked forward to the left, while Canna and Laurent were positioned forward to the right. From above, it will look like a triangle.

Cannah and Laurent are turning their backs on Eliza, but are they appealing that they are not going to hurt Eliza in this situation? Or do you think you can handle Eliza and the others shooting you in the back?

"I followed you. I will move with Mr. Reurus, but he seems to be moving over there. He said he was trying to distract the slime and cut it as much as he could."

"Even if you say you will fight together, you can't collaborate. Is that easy?"

It was a matter of killing each other until a few minutes ago. Even if the slime is the opponent, it can be "slippery” if you were fighting nearby.

(Isn't it funny that this side is the most likely one...)

I don't think so, but fortunately, there's someone on our side (Jilba) who's going to knock Kanna and Laurent into the slime. It seemed like the best way to work together was to cut the slime away from each other without interfering.

"Reurus, can you hear me?

Sarah, can you hear me? What's the matter with you?

It was a revulsion waiting for the water to pull ahead of the slime, but Sarah heard a "thought call" and responded. However, Sarah's voice felt stiff somewhere.

"I noticed from behind... that slime is obviously headed your way."

"... it's hard for popular people, hey"

Reurus didn't notice the huge size of the slime, but it was obvious from Sarah's distance that the slime changed course. As we approach the shores of Lake Mersena, it is clear that the path is being directed towards Reurus.

(You're targeting me, not Neddy... you don't seem to have eyes, but how do you know me? Magic?)

Neddy doesn't seem to have been targeted as she feared beforehand, but Sarah immediately noticed that Reurus had a dark feeling about the slime, which had changed course. What makes the slime sad?

"The slime's after me, too. Sarah said she was clearly targeting us as she approached....."

"Hmm... then it might be easy to handle. As expected, the water will never come this far, so run around carefully on the scaffolding, look at the gaps and scrape the slime."

"And if it's scraped to a certain extent, it's Eliza's turn."

The question is, how far can it be sharpened? When I slashed the slime on a lonely island, the “wound” quickly clogged, and it wasn't about to be scraped.

You can use Dragon Slash to kill. Robust and flexible slime skin can also be cut without any problems. If you cut it with magic, your sword won't be damaged.

But that's it.

(If you chop it from the edge... there's Gilba, can you handle it?

I don't know if I can count on it, but there are also Kanna and Laurent. The more the slime is slashed, the more Eliza's magic can destroy the Nucleus, the better the Reurus will win.

If you can cut off the "nuclear" from the front, it will never go beyond that, but I have to say it is very difficult to feel like you fought on an isolated island. If the position of the "nucleus" is fixed, we will do something about it, but if the "nucleus" itself is able to move freely within the body, it is different.

Whether you can slash the flesh of a larger slime than when you fought on an isolated island, step into a position where you can slay the 'nucleus', and even slay the 'nucleus' that moves around trying to avoid it.

(I can't think of anything...)

In addition to pushing back by the "contract" with Eliza and Sarah, it would be impossible to use the "calorific release" to slash them all. The slime is about to swallow me while I'm slashing.

"Mr. Gilba, do you have any tricks or magic like saving a trump card?

A short time to engage the slime. Reurus asks Jilba with his love sword on his shoulder.

It's up to the four avant-garde arms to cut the slime, but Zilba is the only one with bare hands. Reurus expected that there might be “something” that the slime would use even with the other party.

"I'm sorry, but I don't fit very well with the slime... this time I'll focus on helping Reurus."

However, Gilba shook her neck to the side of Reurus's inquiry. Although she has been with us for less than a year, Gilba has no qualities to share information and spare under these circumstances.

In that case, Reurus thought that he would concentrate on the assistant as he said.

(Still, I think Jilba-san might be able to do something about it... well, that's it.)

It's about 300 meters away. As the slime approached, Reurus, who was waiting at a critical distance from reaching the water, saw a giant mountain-like body approaching the land and leaned forward.

The slime has crossed Lake Mersena, but if it doesn't land, there's nothing to do. If you fly a magic blade, you can attack at some distance, but if you consume too much magic, you will feel anxious about the duration of Calorie Unlocked.

That's why I waited for the slime to land.

"Big... 'Castle Collapse' is not my eye."

It looks like the giant is sitting in front of you, even though you're supposed to be at a distance. Prior to the slime, which was so large that it seemed like distance was crazy, Reurus wetted his tongue with his lips, which had begun to dry with tension.

Did you absorb the water from Lake Mersena, or did you capture the monsters that inhabit Lake Mersena? The slime, twice as big as it was when it was seen on an isolated island, gives it a heavy sense of intimidation just by being there.

"The name 'Country Eater' didn't seem to have been exaggerated... even in its present state, one of the towns could easily be destroyed."

"I'm not taking sides with justice, but it's too damaging to leave them alone."

You remember the tension in Gilba, and the voice was a little stiff.

Zilba is right, you can easily destroy a fortress city by raiding it. Even if they stormed from the front, they could be destroyed in less than an hour.

Normally, the walls that prevent monsters from entering are meaningless with the slime that has grown so far. You will surmount the walls without suffering. Rather, it was like pouring water into a cup, and it seemed like a shackle that only blocked the escape of the inhabitants in the fortress.

(Is it lucky that you can fight at this stage if you think "worse”...?

The worst thing for Reurus is that this slime reaches the abandoned city of Laval.

There was a distance to the abandoned city of Laval, and it was likely to destroy all the troops of Mataroi before reaching it, but in the unlikely event of a shameful tragedy in the name of "The Country Eaters," there was a risk that the abandoned city of Laval would be involved.

If you are at peace in the abandoned city of Laval, one day you will suddenly be attacked by a giant slime enough to call it "The Country Eaters" - more a nightmare than a despair.

With that in mind, Reurus and the others were here at this time. That would be nothing more than the word 'destiny' Neddy used to say.

I apologize for the revulsions, such as the fate to fight the slime.

"--Ooooooooooooooo!"

Still, as a reality, I'm confronting Slime. Reurus roars from the bottom of his belly to wipe out his fear and storms at the landing slime.

Slashing from the front is not effective. Judge that way, and use your best efforts to run around the “end” of the slime. Watching out for slime movements, kick the sludged ground with the pushed water from Lake Mersena and instantly close the distance to knock down the "Dragon Slasher."

Gilba continues without being late for such a revulsion. Unlike Reurus, it is not “beginner” enough to start the fight and slow down the movement with tension, whether Slime is the opponent or not.

Slime movements were slow against rapidly approaching Reurus and Gilba. Slow movements across Lake Mersena seem to be a lie, trying to move the body toward Reurus - but it's also slow.

Regardless of the poor scaffolding, Reurus stepped in with all his might. The water that had accumulated on the ground was scattered by the impact that stepped in, and the right leg of the Reurus filled up close to the ankle.

"SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

A blow from the top with rushing momentum. Even though there is no 'caloric release', the flash from the body reinforced by the 'contract' easily severs the outer skin of the slime.

But that's no different than when you fought on a lonely island. Slicing or instantly restoring the slime is not an opportunity for the opponent, even if there are arms and weapons that can slash the sturdy skin.

"Hmm!

Therefore, it was Gilba's role to create a winning opportunity. The scars that Reurus carved are faster and thinner to the slime. He stepped a few moments behind the reels that knocked in the slash and slammed the soles of his palms with his outer skin as he tried to get back to normal.

Gilba doesn't have a trick like tearing the skin of a slime with her bare hands. Even with the technique of holding Kanna's two blades with bare hands, it does not have the ability to kill a slime that nullifies the blow.

Yes - they don't have the ability to “kill” the slime.

Instead, Zilba “ripped off” the skin of the slime that Reurus had slashed from the flesh.

The impact of the slammed sole pulls the flesh of the slime that is about to be restored and blows it back. Slime fluids that dissolve, whether it's a metal weapon, are scattered in space, but more forward than Zilba's by the impact of the bottom of the palm that Zilba knocked into.

"Mr. Gilba!

Edge of the slime - Reurus and Gilba blew pieces of meat less than one meter away, but as soon as they hit, they retreated.

It's nice to scrape the slime, but if you stop your foot, it will swallow you up right away.

"I'll chop it up, and Jilba-san will beat it up... I think I can handle it."

"It's a struggle to scrape mountains with bare hands."

Zilba nodded in response to Reurus whispering at full speed and distance. And as you watch the slime move, you start to measure the distance so that it can be scraped off the edge again.

"If the contents of the wound blow out and your body gets smaller... is there a problem?"

It would have been easier if it had cracked like a water balloon and the contents jumped out, but Reurus murmured. As long as it didn't happen, the wound I just applied would have closed immediately.

I don't know whether the surrounding skin is closed or whether the “contents” have hardened and become new skin. Still, I was able to confirm that it was sharpened.

(It's not moving that fast... just shredding it inside now, eh!

As Zilba put it, it would be a struggle to scrape the mountain with bare hands. Still momentum seemed to have prevailed, and Reurus ran back towards the slime.
