Strongest Onmyouji's Isekai Adventure ~ The Monsters are too weak compared to my Youkai Servant's~

"Hey, let me do something for you."

When you say that in front of the Guild board, everybody, huh?He looked at me like that. [M]

After delivering the vermilion grass and receiving the achievement reward, we decided to receive the next request again soon... it was time to pick a request, and I had a little surprise and stuck my tongue in it.

Amu says confused.

"You... what happened suddenly?"

"What's the matter? Nothing like this."

I answer.

"I made a request... but haven't I done anything yet?Speaking of which, it's just a carcass of monsters.None of you will get hurt. "

"It's fine, it's fine. Same as before."

"No, dungeon exploration was still a lot to watch out for.Securing sight, checking if monsters are lurking...But the request goes straight to the goal, and when it's done, it's over.I'm really just walking. "

"Er, mmm...."

Amu looks troublesome, but I keep struggling.

"Even though you guys are excited at the tavern, we barely talk because we haven't done anything...."

"That's right! Seika-san looks like this and surprisingly wants to see you!"

Yuki stirred in her hair in a small voice and her cheeks pulled, but I continued.

I'll take care of the next request.

Well then, if Seika chooses it.

Mabel says that the surroundings are in harmony.

"Yes... yes, you're the one who always takes orders, and sometimes it's okay..."

"We can't complain more than you can help us."

"That's right! Which one would you like, Seika-kun?"

I felt kind of overused... but I decided not to care much.

I say so.

"Actually, I had a favor to keep an eye on."

I laughed invincibly and reached for the parchment that was stuck in the corner of the bulletin board.

Let's do this next time.

****

That's how we came to this underground dungeon.

This slightly unusual dungeon, which has to come from a well in an abandoned village, appears to be a trace of a groundwater vein dating back a long time, with vast horizontal holes all the way through.

Though there are no monsters, adventurers from nearby villages have been making coins, and people have been visiting regularly until now.

Most recently, it seemed that this was not the case, and the road to this point was also desolate.

"... are you sure you're happy with this request?"

Rurum, who was walking next door, asked me that.

I answer with a smile. [M]

"Don't worry, the reward is certainly not too high, but I'll do it as soon as I can to avoid wasting my time.The dungeon didn't have a confusing structure, so I saved it.I'll be able to get back to Keltz by tomorrow, so I need you to hang out a little bit. "

"No, it's not."

Rurum shook his neck and said.

"The target of my request... it's a bit of a troubling monster.I don't know if I can win or nozzle.I know what you're capable of..... "

Really, it's troublesome.Then you're getting more and more interested. "

Yes, make a joke and answer.

This request is about a powerful monster crusade that sometime lived in this dungeon.

The adventurers who were earning change here are in trouble because they devour other monsters and are dangerous and can't crush anyone.

A small dungeon is no different than a source of valuable resources.If the nucleus were destroyed, it would never be a cheap loss.

Nevertheless, I chose a request that was not commensurate with this reward, not for help, but because I was purely interested in the monster.

If it's true, you shouldn't spend too much time on cheap requests... well, it'll be fine for a little while.

And then --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stop my feet and fly the rattles forward around me.

What appeared in the light... was a giant, silver sphere.

Is it about a length and a half (* about 4.5 meters)?

The sphere has no limbs or face.The ground surface was flat and distorted, as if it were a droplet on a leaf, but sharp protrusions were arranged round the top like a crown.

And the silver surface was shaking slightly.

He's alive.

Ugh!

"Ah, that's..."

"Mercury slime king."

A superior species of slime monster said to have a metallic body.

It was one of the monsters I've been interested in since I saw it in the literature.

I look back at the hardened party members. [M]

"Well, wait there for a moment."

Walk toward a giant metal slime.

Looking closer, I think there was such a thing.It's like living mercury.

Even amongst adventurers, mercury is often likened to a Mercury Slime monster.

But... his nature is probably closer to iron than mercury.

At that time, Mercury Slime King's body was stupid.

Your body is dripping like water droplets.

It was Skeleton's head that rolled with Cologne under it.When I saw him wearing a helmet, it was apparently Skeleton Knight, a superior species.However, there is no bottom from the ribs.The armor, the sword, and all the bones in it were eaten.

I nod and mutter alone. [M]

"I see. You're going to take in the iron."

At that time, a tentacle-like fake foot grew out of a giant slime.

It gets fatter in an instant and rises above me. [M]

When I saw it, I nodded again. [M]

"Heh, that's how you attack."

While I was murmuring, the mark was already assembled.

I've done what I have to do.I keep thinking. [M]

This monster's body is probably not mercury.

Liquids that react to magnetic forces, including metal particles such as iron and copper (nickel).

Bees have magnetically reactive minerals in their abdomen.There are many other creatures with magnetic organs, such as migratory birds and whales.

I wonder if the body of this slime is of that kind.

There is also evidence.

Crown-like projection on the top of the head.That can be done along the lines of a magnetic field.When you suck sand iron on a magnet, something very similar to that appears.

No, this is no doubt it.

Like trying to crush a fly, a fat fake leg swings down on me.But there's no problem at all.

Phase of the Sun: Magnetic Clouds

The human rattles floating directly above the mercury slime king created a powerful magnetic field with the release of the technique.

A magnetically reactive body cannot resist the magnetic field of Magnetic Cloud.

The metal slime was attracted to the human rattle without magnetism, and the sphere was supposed to stop moving by making a protrusion like that crown all over its body.

But...

"... what?"

In the middle of an incredible magnetic field... Mercury Slime King didn't seem to slow down the movement.

My fat fake feet are swinging down at me.

"Seika-kun!?"

Effa's screams echo through the dungeon with the sound of a water mass falling.

Mercury Slime King crawled back into his swinging fake feet.It just... looks strange that the opponent you were supposed to crush is gone.

I scratched my head against the wall of the dungeon just before I metastasized.

"This is crazy....."

It doesn't react to the magnetic field... so maybe it's really mercury.

Mercury doesn't react to magnetism.The metal attracted to the magnet is in fact limited to some parts, such as iron and copper (nickel).

"Does that mean... that metal body is just a weight, and the crown is just a decoration...?"

Apparently, the expectations were completely off track.

"Hey, are you okay!?"

"Tell me if you need help!!"

"Ah, I'm fine. It was just a slight miscalculation."

I screamed back at the two demons who shouted loudly behind me.

At that time, the metal slime that apparently found me stretched my false feet again.

This time, it's swinging sideways like a whip.

As the mercury army approached... I set a mark with one hand and pointed it at the floating beast with a sigh.

Well then, is this it?

Golden Phase: Mercury Concentration

A wave of silver closely resembling his body color struck Mercury Slime King.

The silver liquid created by the curse begins to harden in a state of huge slime.Mercury Concretion is an original technique for restraint.

But it didn't seem to make much sense to this slide.

The bathed liquid drips into your body as it is.There is no obstruction of movement at all.

Eventually, the Mercury Slime King, which absorbed all the surrounding liquid, suddenly stretched out many fake legs and spread out widely.

You have simmered your business, or you will assault me with all of it.

The change happened at that time.

One of the fake feet suddenly fell as if it could not bear its own weight.

One after another, your false feet will break one after the other.From the cross section, something like a scab lid springs up and peels off.

The change also pertained to the body of the mercury slime king.

From the surface of the silver sphere, the acne lid (lid) of the same color springs up and peels off.

Mercury Slime King waves his whole body in agony, but he can't stop his own body from hardening and peeling off.

The scab lid gradually eroded into the back of the sphere - and finally all the huge silver bodies turned into cracked lumps like dry soil.

A liquid metal body that was somehow mysterious no longer has a shadow to see.

When I pick up a piece of the slime that fell off, I walk back to my friends who are paranoid. [M]

"The crusade is complete. I've done a bit of a mistake, but I can get back to Keltz by tomorrow, as promised."

"Well, uh... I'm glad you're okay for now."

Rurum says something confused.

"But... what is that? Mercury slime, why is that...?"

It's hard to explain.

When a metal that becomes liquid at room temperature such as mercury is mixed well with a powder such as copper or silver, it has the property of forming an alloy and curing in a short time.

"Mercury Concretion" is a technique used to restrain enemies and repair broken buildings… This time, by mixing and capturing a lot of metal powder, we decided to harden each other's bodies.

The body of the Mercury Slime King was still made of mercury or gallium in Gallia, and it solidified as expected.

But it's a little confusing to explain.

"I'll tell you when it settles down. Let's leave the dungeon first.It's troublesome to run into extra monsters. "

"Seika-kun... are you okay? Did you get hurt?"

I answered Effa with a smile with a worried face. [M]

"Nothing. I'm not gonna get hurt."

"Mmm...."

"Hey, is that okay?"

"That's why I'm fine. What, Amu?Will you even worry about me? "

"No, it's not."

And Amu frowned.

"I don't think you'll be able to deal with that kind of monster.That's what I'm worried about. "

Hmm?

Amu pointed to some of my Mercury Slime King.

"What's wrong with this?It may be creepy, but if you don't deliver it, your reward will be.... "

"The requirement to fulfill the request is to bring back a portion of the Mercury Slime King, right?"

Amu said with a subtle expression.

"Even if I send that piece of metal to the guild... can you believe it was part of the slime?"

"Eh...? Ah"

After that.

I tried my best to get it back, but it didn't work out... so I had to pack the mercury made by the curse in a vial and deliver it instead.

Though I received the reward safely, I was afraid I wouldn't find out when I submitted it.

From now on, let's think about it a little bit more and take it down.
