A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 184: Demonstrating Main Strength Part 3

White light that burns out your vision and a roar that could tear through your eardrum.

Eliza's thunder struck the slime directly, but it also had a slight effect on Reurus, who was stopping by the slime.

The impact of the lightning strike shook the entire body of the revus, and the electric shock that was sprayed around it was powerful enough to make the body feel numb.

Compared to Sarah's flame magic, which pierced the torso of a giant slime, her pure destructive power would be inferior. Still, from a slime with a large number of “wounds” by the magical blade that Reurus knocked in many times, it was like being knocked directly into the body from the wound.

Eliza's lightning rushed through the slime. Unlike the slashing of Reurus and Sarah's flame magic, it is a rampaging indiscriminate ravage.

Ugh!

Two of the three "nuclei" that were moving around in the slime stopped moving, either to avoid lightning strikes or to reduce the damage a little. One of the remaining 'nuclei' moves around in agony, but the Reurus who sees it shakes off the surrounding air and kicks the ground.

--This is a great opportunity.

Reurus, who sniffed it like an animal, immediately jumped to the slime.

While swinging the "Dragon Slash", the motion is slowed by electric shock, and the "core" is caught in a straight line.

Either Eliza's electric shock is affecting her, or Slime's body doesn't move. The other two "nuclei" died instantly, or they didn't move.

Reurus had 10% alert to counterattack in his brain, and the remaining 90% was occupied by his special consciousness. Looking at the reaction of the slime, Eliza and Sarah waved "Dragon Slash" with all their might.

Sarah blew up nearly 70% of the slime's body was already torn apart by the magical blade of Reurus, which stops it. They cut into pieces where they tried to return to the sphere and “forced” them to be in an irregular state where they could not move.

In such a body, there is no escape for the 'nucleus'.

The leaping realus shakes down the Dragon Slash, rips the outer skin of the slime, and draws sharp blades into the Nucleus.

(Huh!? Hard!?

The response, which seemed to have been cut into steel, passed through the "Dragon Slash", and Reus raised his voice of dismay in his heart.

Even though the slightest momentum of slashing was killed by the flexibility of the outer skin, the blade of "Dragon Slash", which even Vanille's body was torn apart, stops at the middle of "Nucleus". That alone didn't kill him instantly, or the 'nucleus' will try to move again to escape the entangled blade.

No matter how many times you cut the slime, how many times you cut the dragon knife? Or was the 'nucleus' of the pure slime sturdy?

I don't know about Reurus, but I can't miss this opportunity.

Reurus leaves it to gravity and begins to fall, putting all effort into it so that the "core" cannot escape the blade. Though it is not easy to step in the air, it is forced to hold the "core" by the "caloric release" of the arm force.

The slime's body fluids splashed because it fell off while slicing and tearing the outer skin, touching the Reurus' skin and conveying severe pain, but I don't mind. It bites its back teeth without breaking, and falls to the surface as it peels out its canine teeth.

"Uhh... uhhhhhhhhhhh!

Zhu Zhu, the sound of the skin melting can reach your ears, but you growl that you know something. And as it fell along with the slime's "nucleus", the "nucleus" caught in the blade and hit the ground.

--A dull sound like smashing the ice.

The sound was heard through the Dragon Slash, and it sounded like a realus with a cracking sensation.

"Ahh... damn, I thought I was gonna die..."

It was a revulsion that struck the "core" of the slime that was still moving despite Eliza's lightning, but she was murmuring about it with a cold sweat.

Immediately after cutting off the moving 'nucleus', a slime of body fluids overflowing from the ripped skin fell overhead. The "nucleus" was destroyed and the body of the slime came to me as if it had lost its support.

I avoided being melted and dying because I was in a hurry to retreat, but if I was relieved that the 'nucleus' had cracked, I would have been swallowed by the slime's body fluids.

However, it was never swallowed, but not all of the splashed slime's body fluids were avoided. Some of the body fluids that adhered while chopping off the "nucleus" dissolved the skin of the revus, causing bleeding as if the meat had been ripped off.

Especially my arms are terrible, and my clothes are covered with holes and there is blood like a spot pattern.

(At the same time... even though there was a "contract" with Eliza, it was really hard.)

It is a revulsion that has caused various injuries so far, but it is the first experience such as melting the skin and bleeding. In addition to my arms, I felt pain and touched my forehead, and there was blood on my palms. If it shifted slightly, it might have stuck to the eyeball and become blind.

"Well done, Mr. Reurus."

How do I stop the bleeding? Should I leave it to the self-healing power enhanced by Eliza's "contract"? Should I ask Zilba to cure it? It was a revulsion to think about what to do, but Gilba called me back and gave me a bitter smile.

"No... you wouldn't have won without Eliza and Sarah's magic. It was a mess."

While saying so, Reus turned to his love sword.

Although there seems to be no change from before, it seems that the sharpness has dropped significantly whether the blade has worn out or melted.

Thanks to the good material and the producer's skill, the sword itself is safe, but it will have to be sharpened to regain its original sharpness.

(The fact that the "nucleus" is so hard means that even if I used magic to fly the blade, I might not have been able to slash it...)

It was not as tough as the outer skin with flexibility, but rather hard enough to mistake it for metal. Slime's 'Nucleus' avoided the magic blade from Reurus, but a direct hit might not have been a fatal wound.

"Well, the 'core' Eliza took down....."

The slime's body collapsed, but where did the two remaining 'nuclei' go? Taking back the slime as evidence could reward the Adventurers Association, and I wanted to beat it to see if I could really kill the slime without it.

(Eliza and Sarah will have to praise each other a lot later....)

In order to do so, we must reject the grief of patronage. Not only the 'nuclear', but also the trends of Gregorians, Canna and Laurent, are of concern.

("Nucleus"... isn't moving. Was it true that lightning magic worked?

At the tip of Reurus' gaze, two 'nuclei' sank into the body fluids of a slime spreading to the ground. From a distance, it does not appear to move, nor does it absorb the surrounding body fluids and return to the sphere.

Turning his gaze farther away, he saw Kanna and Laurent with their weapon tips down. Like Reurus, he seems to be alert to whether the 'nucleus' will move, but the color of relief can be seen through his expression.

(I'm just looking for someone who can eliminate the water shortage or "treasure balls", so why did this happen...)

When he realized that he was caught in the wings of killing with a giant slime, Reurus set up a 'Dragon Slash'. Then, the two "nuclei" rolling to the ground while maintaining their shape, released a magical blade.

Some people don't want to slash it with the "Dragon Slash", but the scaffolding is too bad to get close. The slime's body fluids are making puddles here and there, and if I make a mistake, my legs will melt and disappear.

From that fear, Reurus chose a ranged attack - the 'nucleus' that should have stopped moving bounced.

(Alive... damn it!

The moment the "Nucleus" moved to avoid the magical blade, the Reurus was also moving. I try to throw a magic blade at the "Nucleus" again and take it at a distance.

Sarah! Can you shoot magic?!

At the same time, she flies a "thought call" toward Sarah. But there's no response from Sarah, who would normally react immediately.

Reurus, who noticed the “anomaly”, looked back in a hurry and saw Sarah lying on the ground. In the immediate vicinity of Sarah, Eliza fluttered herself and saw her struggling to support herself by supporting her cane.

Reurus, who had seen the two men's condition, screamed after a short tour.

"Nh... meer! You two, please!

I don't know if I have used too much magic or if there is another reason. Though Reurus wondered whether Zilba should be sent to use healing magic, he couldn't bring Zilba down from the front line with the slime's "nucleus" showing movement.

Leave everything to Meer, who was waiting for Slime when she targeted Eliza, Sarah, and Neddy. If it came true, Reurus wanted to rush back to Eliza and the others, but it wouldn't be possible until we finished the slime.

Reurus, who shouted at Meer, quickly looked back and set up the 'Dragon Slash'. It's difficult to get close to the 'nucleus', but we have to make it close.

"... eh?

Reurus, who had such an idea, blinked his eyes unexpectedly as he confirmed the "nucleus".

It was only about five seconds before I cut my eyes to see how Eliza and the others were doing. Including the time I spent talking to Meer, it won't exceed ten seconds.

During that short period of time, there was an anomaly in the slime's 'nucleus'.

The body fluids of the slime scattered around it gather around the "nuclei" of "each” and change their shape.

Start with a sphere of about three meters. However, it quickly became half the size and changed its shape to an elongated one.

"Humans...?

The slime was a revulsion that tried to get rid of before returning to Lake Mersena and resurrecting the flesh, but she looked at its shape and murmured.

The “height” is about 170cm, and the body close to being transparent is shaped by irregularities that recall masculine muscles. A large sword of water nearly two meters was produced in his right hand, and he stood ready to carry it on his shoulders while moving tightly.

--It looks like a realuse and a mirror copy.

"Hey... you didn't do 'change'... no, you did my 'imitation'?

The Nucleus continued to move in the human body for some time, but eventually moved to the back of the head to stop moving. It looked like a human brain, and Reurus was breathing without knowing.

I hate that I couldn't finish it off, but suddenly Reurus is confused by the slime that suddenly changed its shape.

Eliza's lightning magic couldn't kill two "Nuclei." Each of them changed their appearance to mimic the appearance of Reurus - moving silently.
