A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 449: The Mover, The Mover Part 5

In the battle against Slaus, the situation in which the Reurus and the others were advantageous entered a mysterious state of battle in which they were mutually reinforcing.

The combination of Reurus and Winged Dragon, which launch melee fights, and Natalia, which supports them with wind magic, shows a combination that is unlikely to be instant, effectively wounding Slaus.

That, too, is probably because Natalia's skill at backup is exceptional. Even as a Reus, Natalia's support was accurate and powerful, and even a slightly aggressive attack seemed to be fine.

But I can't get rid of Slaus. Slaughter flatly healed the wounds as he tried to slay them with the Dragon Slash several times and hit them with magic.

(Eh... this guy really can't die. What kind of reasoning is that?

While occasionally switching between "caloric release" and "enhancement" to save magic, Reurus mutters in his heart.

Anger at Slaus is still rolling in his chest - but showing him how immortal he is makes his head chill.

"... what's wrong? Is it over?

Slaughter provoked Reurus, who was holding the "Dragon Slash" at a distance. However, Reurus did not answer, sending a sharp gaze to Slaus.

Except for resilience, Slause is not out of hand. There are many dangerous ways to attack, such as physical abilities and magic released from close range, but Reurus makes a judgment that he can respond adequately.

Because I knew it wouldn't work for Reus, or I didn't pretend to stop moving. Without summoning the inhabitants of the controlled town of Lemona, they bring each other in a one-to-three situation.

"I'm glad I got my daughter back. Was there a sewer underground in this town? I see, I was out of my mind because I didn't need it."

Previous battles have led to the collapse of surrounding houses and the transformation of residential areas into squares, centered on slaughter. Baron Barberie - Hector said he wanted the destruction of the town to be kept to a minimum, but it was not a situation to be considered.

Chi!

Slashes and rips the ice blade released by Slause with Dragon Slash, and Reurus slaps his tongue one by one.

Rebecca, Chris, and Tina said that the “old” slaw should not have been so immortal. Even so, when I saw him lying flat, no matter how many fatal wounds he sustained, I felt a feeling of patrolling in the reels to see what I could do.

(It would have been best if we had taken care of it… How much time would it take for Gilba and the others to pull all the people out of town? Even if you pull him away, can you really kill him?

The magic that can be felt from Slaus is gradually decreasing, but it is originally a bloodsucking species with enormous magic. Bringing them into a protracted battle could have resulted in them being scraped to death.

(If he's alive, there might be some way to kill him...)

No matter how much you attack, you won't get a scratch at all. Instead, Slaus had a sweet defense because of its protruding regenerative power.

If you can't slash or die, and you can't die with magic, what can you do to die?

(The monsters we've fought for could have killed them in the end... the bloodsucking species... the bloodsucking species.)

The memory of the previous life was behind Reurus' brain. Exactly what I thought of when I first met Eliza, the bloodsucking species.

Said the blood-sucking man becomes a vampire in the same way.

It can turn into wolves, bats, and fog.

Said the monster of immortality.

In Eliza's case, it was a mistake, but in Slaus, it was true.

Immortality that kills or crushes, but strikes magic without dying. It would be a monster of immortality to recover from a fatal wound over time.

(Even the slime is dead if you destroy the 'nucleus'... slime?

This was followed by a giant slime fighting on Lake Mersena. No matter how much she kills, Sarah's advanced flame magic won't kill her, and she keeps moving until she destroys the Nucleus.

According to Rebecca and the others, there are no “weaknesses” such as "nuclei" in bloodsucking species. I had never heard of Reurus who had lived with Eliza for more than a year.

Even if there is something like a 'nucleus' outside of the head or heart, you should notice that there is such a foreign object in your body as Eliza. It may be that it originally existed in the body and I don't remember the discomfort, but in that case, I didn't realize that the previous Slaus had been killed by the Gregorian bishops.

“Death once may have created a 'nucleus', but the wounds inflicted on Slaus in previous battles have spread throughout his body. It would be strange to say that it has no effect at all.

(Bloodsucking species... slime... immortal... immortal, creature... creature?

Therefore, I thought that Reurus was fundamentally mistaken.

I don't think so. However, seeing a flat mouse that has caused many fatal wounds so far, I think it is not impossible.

(This... is not a creature, is it?

It is the appearance of humans - they look like hectares, and if they are slashed, blood will erupt, but if they are as they look, they will already die many times.

If the wound appears to be healed, but the wound is not healed, it just returns to its original shape.

"Ooooooooooo!

It was a Reurus that was about to move to a durable battle rather than an end, but it came forward with a surprise. Slause also creates a blade of ice to defend himself accordingly.

As always, Reus is slashed with Dragon Slash, but dares not break through Slause's defenses. Instead, use "Caloric Release" to wield out the "Dragon Slash" at your discretion and jump the body of the slaw, knocking it into the rubble pile of the house.

"Young man, come here!

The gap created by force. Instead of using it to attack, Reurus calls Natalia after turning off "Caloric Release." Then Natalia immediately flew back to Reurus to see if she remembered any discomfort.

"I just want to make sure one thing. The magic is moving in a human form... how could it be?

The question that Reurus asked was, if you were to compare it with the previous life, "Does the fog move around in human form? There is no flash to ask. 'However, it is difficult to discard this immortality because it is impossible if the mouse shows it.

The immortality of the slaw was such that it was thought that the presence of a slime without a 'nucleus' would make it possible.

"The magic is in the form of a human... I see, then you can understand that you won't die that long."

Natalia did not deny Reurus's doubts. However, he raised his eyebrows and frowned.

"But I've never heard of such a monster. Even if that slaw is“ yes, "the problem is how to defeat it. And suppose... yes, suppose it were a mass of magic."

So, surprisingly, Natalia interrupted her words. And he stared at Reurus with a slightly caring look.

"What the hell is moving that thing? They call it Slaus, a bloodsucking species that was killed before, but what's inside?

In that doubt, Reurus felt his vision shake.

Slaus suddenly appeared in the town of Lemona after being killed decades ago. It has the same power as before as a bloodsucking species, but has immortality that it did not possess before it was killed.

--Isn 't there a big difference between myself and Slaus who was reborn and born into this world?

Reurus thought so and used "ideological calls" unconsciously.

Sarah.

"Ah, hey, Reurus!? I'm sorry! I'm going over there, but some people in town came out and attacked me."

"Is Neddy close?

I'm sorry to interrupt Sarah and ask where Neddy is. Then there was an immediate response.

Just next door... already! Don't burn it, it's too much trouble!

Reurus smiled unknowingly at Sarah's noisy voice as usual.

"I see... then ask me this. Is Slaus the bloodsucker we're fighting? What?

"Huh? Very well... eh? What about Reurus? I'll ask... isn't that a little weird?

A little silence. In the meantime, I saw Slaus stand up pushing out the debris, but I stopped my feet as I watched Reurus and Natalia together.

Um, Reurus? Neddy says, "It was bad, but it's not good now." What is this?

"No... that's enough."

With Sarah's "ideological call," Reurus takes a deep breath. Then, with the mouse in sight, he asked Natalia a a question.

"Yoshi-san... I was just saying that he might be a mass of magic. How do you think we can kill him?

"Whether you blow it to dust with powerful magic, or use 'Nullify'... no, if you're going to die of 'Nullify' alone, you won't have to fight this much. I think we need something else."

Natalia answers with a serious voice, but for some reason, it is the illusion of Reurus that the voice felt like it was mixed with a little shaking.

"I think so too. Well, what... I think I can use that“ other way ”."

…………

It was silence that came back from Natalia. Instead of blaming it for being silent, it is a silence that explores one's own memory.

Every time something happened to Natalia, I reported it. Natalia, who used to be a receptionist for the Adventurers' Association, has made various reports, including consultations.

"... what should I do?

"I'd like to focus a little bit. Can you buy me some time? I've only used it once, so I'm not sure it'll work."

Without extra questions, Natalia asks briefly. Reurus replied to calm down a little, but the voice was serious.

"Is that more certain than staying in the war?

"Maybe. However, it may not work, and if not, I think it would be better to take a temporary withdrawal into account."

Rather than continue to fight jili poverty as it is, Reurus proposes. Together with that, I decided to do one favor.

"If it goes well, I'm sure Neddy will do it when it doesn't work... but can I ask him to stop it?”

"... yeah. Slaus said," I'll take care of it. "

"Are we done here?

Slaus throws a speech that blocks the conversation between Reus and Natalia. When he heard that, Reurus backed down and Natalia went forward.

Reurus takes another deep breath and leaves everything to Natalia to close her eyes.

I don't know what will happen if I fail. In addition to her own life, there is also Sarah, whose life was connected by the "contract."

--I will never fail.

The Reurus who decided to do so focused his mind and used 'Caloric Release'.
