A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 179: Combatting Part 3

The same time that Reurus and Gilba started “cutting” the slime.

Gregoans, Canna and Laurent, were also challenging the slime.

"Look, Laurent. Was it Mr. Reurus? He's not a big deal for technology, but that weapon is amazing."

"Well, I'm sure the technology is awkward. As far as I can tell," movement ”is quite a monkey. I can't balance technology at all."

However, unlike Reurus, there is plenty of room for a long conversation. While the words were exchanged, the two were shaking the object and slashing the outer skin of the slime, but there was loose air when fighting the monster known as "The Country Eaters".

Of course, there are two reasons for that.

One is that Canna and Laurent are Gregorians and accustomed to fighting powerful monsters.

Canna is the Bishop of Gregorianism, who counts faster from above, and furthermore excels in “combat”, including interpersonal combat.

Although Laurent was no match for Canna, the “direction” was very similar. I am good at fighting both humans and monsters, and I am still used to it.

Originally, I came to Lake Mersena looking for an advanced monster. Slime was an unexpected opponent, but once the battle actually begins, it can't be a disturbing element.

And the other reason is very simple: the slime is unconscious of Canna and Laurent.

I don't understand Slime's thoughts, but rather wonder if she has the head to think, but I just "somehow” targeted Reurus, and I couldn't even look at Canna and Laurent - it was a mystery whether they had eyes.

Chenna shakes the dagger with both hands and checks the slime's behavior while chopping the outer skin into fine dust.

I feel like I'm shaving the mountain too much, but no matter how much I get hurt, my reaction won't come back. The slime was just heading toward Reurus with an echo of the earth, not looking at Canna and Laurent.

Is it painless or is it too large and dull? No matter how much slashing it takes to sharpen a huge body, it should not be strange if there is any kind of reaction to the pain.

Slime may be as different in size as humans and ants, but if an ant bites it hurts. If it continues to bite - if it is slashed, it should show even one of its hostility.

"I can't figure it out... if our attack is so light that it's not worth looking at, I'd like to change that perception..."

"You're more dangerous than us... how dare you come? You can't afford that?

Roland questions the slime as he swings the curved sword and slashes the “end” of the slime into the tunnel.

The danger of slime is well known, but there is less information than its fame. It is also difficult to gather information about whether it will be discovered once every ten years.

Besides, even if you want to discover something, there is a tide of instant capture that involves all the forces around you. Out of the question of catching them alive, you can't even look at them growing up while they're collecting breathtaking information.

No matter how much Gregorian they were, they weren't familiar with slime ecology. When born, they eat what is around them, grow their flesh, and bring destruction and despair. This is a monster called Slime, a monster that once ate a country.

There is only information that wind magic and lightning magic are relatively effective when you destroy the "core" and die.

What kind of reason could such a slime have if it were obsessed with and chased around by one human being?

"... ah"

"What is it, ah,"

Unexpectedly, Laurent leaked her voice. While adjusting the direction of slashing and flying the skin to prevent it from being taken up by the slime, Kanna makes a suspicious voice to Laurent.

No, right? I think it's a joke, and I want it to be... that guy Reurus ate the one in front of him. It was frozen, so I shredded it and swallowed it... "

…………

Until then, the slime was slightly dull. However, he immediately regained consciousness and turned his mind to Reurus to the extent that it was not too removed from the slime.

Then observe the appearance of the "Dragon Slash" swinging Reurus for a few seconds and tilt his neck small.

"Actually, the slime is' changing 'into a human being."

"I thought the same thing, but as far as I can see, I was human. Rather, the girls in the back are more like monsters. The dwarf has a bloodsucking species, and there's one more... I don't know who the red-haired daughter is, but she's not human."

"... if you're working with a monster, isn't Mr. Reurus a monster?

After hearing Laurent's remarks, Canna looked suspicious. But convince yourself that Laurent is a human being.

Still, a few questions arose.

"Physical abilities are among the highest among priests, even though technology is less than priesthood. Is the weapon better than the Bishop's... combined, Laurent, it will be comparable to yours."

Putting aside the “joke” of predating the slime is too tight a hug. When Canna felt uncomfortable with the presence of Reurus, Laurent jumped one eyebrow.

"Oh, is that so? As I mentioned earlier, it seems that he was the one who took down the" castle collapse "I escaped before... can't you get it to the bishop?"

"― ― If the current state is the best we can do,"

Kanna's voice gets cold. As the slime is chopped, the madly soaked air is released. Whether he was conscious or unconscious, there was a big smile engraved on his mouth.

"As far as the body of The Castle Collapse is concerned, there may be something hidden behind it. Magic or 'protection'... depending on that, you can reach the rank of bishop. Depending on the match, you'll get victory."

Kanna murmurs somewhere fun. Laurent wanted to distance herself immediately, but she couldn't afford to do that in a situation where she was chopping up slimes.

"Very nice... I invited you earlier, but I definitely want someone from Gregorianism."

"Ah... that seems impossible. It seems our“ idiots ”were responsible for the murder of the bloodsucking girl's family."

Laurent, unlike the war against Slime, shows a similar hostility. When she noticed the tone of her voice, Kanna changed her expression and smiled.

"I can't understand the reasoning of these people either... but as I encountered the" Castle Collapse "the other day, and today, I'm sure I can't agree with them...?

Until then, Kanna had slashed the slime while talking to each other, but she felt uncomfortable with the slime's movement and raised her eyebrows.

Reurus slashes and Gilba hits.

In words, that's all, but it was because it was simple that instant collaboration was established.

Run around to avoid being caught up by the slime, and when the distance opens to a certain extent, the revus slashes in while measuring the time. Then Zilba beats the cut slime pieces of flesh from the skin, shredding the giant body as little as possible.

Without 'Caloric Release', Zilba's best attack method was' Sole ', which could only be' Enhanced '.

"Be careful, Mr. Gilba, because he's bare hands! If you pierce the skin of a slime and stick it in your arm, it won't be stylish!

"Hahaha, don't worry. I have two arms."

"Is it a prerequisite to sacrifice one!?

The Dragon Slash, forged by the Dwarf, is fine, but Gilba is bare. Even so, there was a Reurus that I thought Zilba would beat up the slime without hesitation, but she was crossing it with her bare hands against Canna.

I don't think Zilba's skill exists in the dimension that Reurus is worried about.

Still, Reurus spoke lightly to deceive the approaching fear of the slime. So far, though slow, there is always a danger of being crushed and killed by some kind of clap.

If you slip your feet and fall, they will be taken up and digested. Fighting monsters is always life threatening, but melting to death was a revulsion I wanted to avoid.

(It was the same when the castle collapsed, but it's the only weapon that makes my body big... it's easier to escape than the castle collapse because I don't hide on the ground.)

Compared to the "castle collapse" that moves through the earth, the time is easy to measure. That alone is easier to fight than the "Castle Collapse".

The slime is far more troublesome in total, as all attacks are likely to lead to instant death without exception.

(If you had at least some protective equipment... no, would you just weigh up and drain your health?

I remembered a lot of defensive equipment that wasn't there, and Reurus' anxiety increased slightly. Fighting monsters without armor is not something that happens soon after you become an adventurer.

Even with armor, if swallowed by a slime, they would soon die, but there were aspects of the armor that provided a sense of security due to its reliance.

Reurus tries to ignore the fear that comes to his mind, and slashes the slime before leaving immediately. And then I rushed to measure the time between the slime and it - and I wondered.

(Is it because of your mind, it seems that you're slow to move... perhaps your big body is “unfamiliar”?

Reurus thinks he was a little more agile when he fought on the island. The speed of movement is the same, but I can't even see it jumping and crushing.

The appearance approaching with the sound of the earth is threatening, but you can escape without being caught up with a Reurus that does not use 'Caloric Release'. If you don't run out of health, it's enough to imagine that just slashing will cut the slime.

Reurus slightly distracted himself from the slime.

Running around Reurus and Jilba, chasing it around the slime. And Kanna and Laurent chop after such a slime.

Reurus saw two people in the distance, Canna and Laurent, and unlike Reurus, he used his technique to shred the slime's body.

Looks like they're just chopping the skin so the weapon doesn't hurt, but that's a lot of momentum. The outer skin of the clear slime is slashed one after the other and scattered around.

As far as I can see, I don't know how much of it has been sharpened. It's a struggle to sharpen mountains with bare hands, but the effect is certain as long as it keeps sharpening.

If you keep cutting like this, you can see the chance. I am worried about my health because I keep running, but I have a good chance of winning.

Reurus thinks so - slime moves differently.

…………

The slime chased me in a straight line to ask me what my grudges were, but until then, the rush began to distance me from Reurus like a lie.

The slime slowly retreats, although the revus stands as a sign of jumping. Kanna and Laurent also distance themselves from the slime as if they were more vigilant, but continue to retreat without any further notice. Then he jumped straight into Lake Mersena.

"... hey... wait... no way..."

Behind Reurus's gaze, the slime's body swelled back in time.
