"Kill.

My hands are trembling.

A dark will swirled around my body like twisting.

< That dagger is a dagger that does what it wants.

I remembered what Gizgerai said.

This is what I want?

She's dead. I put the broken remains into space myself.

Now, if that's true, there's no way to ask whether this knife is actually just a mind-snatching sheath.

‘Kill him.

The whisper erodes the mind like a root digging into the soil.

It reminds me of a nightmare that Isaac possessed.

This sense of danger makes use of the Dagger.

That's why I hesitated. But the crisis of death is only half a step away.

I can't afford to hide things.

‘There's nothing to save. ’

In the shallow water vapor, the distance is now zero.

Time to gamble.

The white letters whip out a living dagger.

One letter leaps out from the blade.

Giddy up!

With a strange sound, the first membrane was severed in one fell swoop.

Duck.! Duck.!

Unlike the first membrane, which was torn like a thin piece of paper, the second shield, with a firm feel, was slightly discarded.

Then one more letter jumped out.

White letters like snow gnaw at the second shield. The shield is torn apart like a tree branch in a snowstorm.

Parker, Parker!

“Was magic blinded? ”

The slime draws power to the third membrane. The red and green eyes inside the shallow steam flashed alternately.

The ‘body’ of the slime that occupied the surrounding area moved loudly.

It seemed to wrap around the letters and try to distort them.

Tsk, tsk, tsk!

However, when one letter came out of the dagger and emitted a strong light, the waves of mucus that came over the dagger withered surprisingly quickly.

The slime is torn apart.

A faint neural net following the opposing Pokémon's [Eye] feels like I'm holding a dagger.

‘Is this a weakness?' ’

The tearing letters of the Slime ask me for more strength.

This is the same situation as when you resisted the Marquis who chased you to the cabin.

There was nothing to give back then. But it's different now.

Beneath the bone, Isaac's intricately engraved Lurium circuit remains preheated enough. A circuit extending across the body transmits power to the dagger.

Phage job!

The shield begins to crack even more vigorously. The slime retreats, and the letters follow with excitement.

You tear and break the body of the nuclear-protecting slime and severely reduce its volume.

“Where did this come from?! ”

The slime attempts to counterattack seismically, but is already exhausted.

It was easy to avoid or prevent

At least the attacks around your hands were crushed nearby by the white glowing letters.

The dagger had half a letter left, but it seemed sufficient without further use.

Slime's body is now only a fifth of the way.

The eaten body turns to white ash.

You're scattered all over the place. You never make it back to the mainframe.

At this rate, victory is imminent.

But I felt anxious.

‘No. Fall off? ’

The vibrating dagger doesn't stick to your hand.

It wasn't just taking away his power. The dagger draws and swings its arm at you.

Not only for the arm, but also for the entire body.

I can feel the power spreading.

The memory of Isaac's abduction has overlapped.

At this rate, sharp awareness mounts on your spine. Not yet, but I don't know when I'll be completely drawn to the sword.

‘Blast.’

You did not transfer power. You burst into flames from your fingertips toward the hilt.

Splash!

Disperse!

The dagger plunges into the ground.

The ground split deeply.

The slime, about 70 cm tall, was bent and frozen near the crack, and the debris that was bitten flowed through the crack.

"This much?! ’

Gizgerai's Dagger.

The power of a six-letter magic dagger was much stronger than I expected.

It was consuming, but it allowed me to overcome a fight I could never win.

Meanwhile, I felt bitter.

‘Gizgerai gave me this. I just had to watch her die. ’

“I lost. ”

I said with a slime that lowered my head around my pelvis, and a mouth that narrowed.

There is no sense of victory.

I looked at the magic dagger that still has three letters left.

I almost killed Slime with my body under control.

What if he killed her?

The echo of the dagger that was whispering still lingers on its head.

Kill. Absorb essence.

It was the dagger the Necromancer handed me in the first place for it.

You want me to kill him?

Magic Resistance and Acidity, Surprising Physical Power, Known Emotions · 21220; Calibration Ability.

If Lena doesn't care what happens, if the dagger of Gizgerai kills and takes what it whispers,

Even if Slime didn't have a Marquis of Leandro, he could have taken more than he absorbed from Knight Raleigh.

The thought of a pity floated around my head.

The dagger was thrown far away, but the whisper of death became more and more apparent in my mind.

“I admit defeat. ”

You hear Slime's voice.

‘So kill him. ’

‘Take it.’

‘Eat it up. ’

Huff.

I inadvertently found myself walking towards the dagger and forcefully stopped the bridge.

‘I am.

I calmed my dizziness.

Pure Water Absorption can be quite tiring once war breaks out.

First, we need to find out where Lena's brother is.

You slowly walk towards the small slime.

The slime does not retreat, fearful or flawed. Rather, it felt quite pleasant.

“Where's the real child? ”

Then came the question.

“Well, first things first. ”

“Tell me. ”

“If I had won, would you have taken me to Lena? ”

I stopped at that spot. I was embarrassed that I was reading it all, so I missed the time to answer properly.

“You seem very fond of Nyrena for coming here to get her, did you put her at risk? ”

The slime pierces the chasm with a grin.

I stared at him dazed without anger. After I had nothing to say, a threat finally appeared.

“Don't you think I'll just kill you like this? ”

The Dagger is in the ground, but you can pick it up again.

If you're this cute and small, I think magic will do the trick.

Even the volume of the shield seems to be missing. But the slime does not die of grass.

Rather, he looked at me and said with confidence.

“If you don't want to find Lena's brother forever, that's fine. ”

The slime lingers as it grows faint.

“If I die, the Third Reich HQ will follow your trail immediately." ”

< Let me formally introduce. I am Retrick Aesar, Head of the Three Imperial Headquarters.

A group of Demon Lords within T&T who ‘want to' reduce humans.

Slime does not hide.

You told me the truth.

I'm talking.

“A letter asking you to investigate Lena, and it will automatically be sent to the capital somewhere after Sathor. ”

I was waiting quietly for someone to dress up as Lena's sister and come back for her. It's not a lie or a lie.

“So what do you want? ”

“Since you made a promise not to keep, I'll make you one condition.

Why don't you come to us first? ”

“You guys. ”

“Yes. Please be on our side. Lena's brother will be right with you. I'm more interested in you now than I am in her. ”

“Excuse me?”

“You're not even human, are you? because I have no idea what you're doing here with that power. I'd love to introduce you to a group I'm in. ”

I found out who he was.

It's funny to ask how you knew.

The slime in front of the eye has incredible emotional power with skills.

It is rather unnatural to think that I did not know who I was in a violent battle.

The slime's mouths that have been slammed down are followed by filth. The pronunciation was clear.

“I don't know what the story was, but you're coming with me. Would you listen to me? ”

The slime recounts what deer Aesar told me at the altar of Purson.

What they're trying to convince me to do, that's two.

“I decline.”

Slime's expression saddens my resolute answer.

“Would it be all right to leave the world as it is? ”

“Don't get me wrong. I just don't want to be arrested by a Demon King like you guys. ”

“Oh.

“Your king may or may not come, I have no intention of relying on him. ”

“Hahaha.

The slime seems pleasant.

I didn't say anything about blasphemy. Instead, I spoke in a favorable manner.

“Very well. I'll tell you then. ”

Sudden changes in attitude made my head tilt.

“What?”

“About the whereabouts of the child you're looking for. ”

“You want to tell me where your brother is?

So, what's the deal? ”

Slime smiles and says, "Funny."

“My terms are. It's not urgent. ”

“Tell me.”

“If there is a third path, which is neither Human nor Demon King, I would like to go there myself.

Let me know when you find it. ”

“Are you okay? I'll walk with you later. ”

What's this slime thinking? He may have a lot of worries to be a loyal follower of Purson.

“No misunderstandings. I've never really thought about it. ”

“I know. I think you're just living the way you are now. ”

“Insurance is for hanging. It's kind of a diversification. Well, I'll tell you where he is. ”

Slime guides me quietly.

I walked naturally towards Yublam, as if when I was fighting.

Maybe it's because of the rare crowd.

The upper part is still human, but the lower half walks around without concealing the slime.

It seemed like the smaller body was blowing up gradually over time.

‘Overwhelming restoration.'

Only half the letters of the dagger left on the blade became conscious.

If we kill Slime now, we may be able to take away that ability.

Fragments, if not all.

But I didn't want to.

It was hard to say just because Lena was in crisis, couldn't save her brother, or because T&T's internal circle tracked me down.

I didn't want to hurt him.

After I owe Slime a lot of money, I remembered the conversation I had with him.

< Thank you for auntie. Is there anything I can do for you?

Someday, if you see another slime, could you show a little kindness? That's enough for me.

“What were you thinking? ”

I didn't answer.

There are very few slimes left in this world anyway.

It's the same after the Demon Lord's outburst.

Virtually extinct.

What he asked me to do about his own kind at the time will actually apply to him.

I made a promise.

If you look at the slime, your promise to treat it favorably will be lighter than rotten leaves and erased like writing on water, but that's all you can count on.

You walk still, ignoring the flinching dagger.

It was time to go through the kindergarten again.

“Are you here? ”

Not caught on detection skill.

But there may be a magically blocked place where my abilities are blocked.

The slime shakes its head.

“Not here. ”

I tore them all apart and walked through a desolate field of wheat at night.

A guard and a heavy gate peer into the eye.

The city of Juvlam, where Rubia was brought out of the cart.

During a few hours of walking, the slime regained enough volume to look like an adult male.

It was a clean look when I met Lena for the first time.

‘All the clothes look like that. That's amazing.’

“Come.”

Without a worry, the slime walks straight to the gate.

As he pulls out his hand, the guard opens the gate straight into a rigid position, without a word of puke.

The gates of the night are surprisingly easy.

It's open.

“Do you have an organization here? ”

“It's easier these days. There were other things that were supposed to be there, but somehow they all died and ran away. ”
