chapter 46
46. king slime
After leaving the adventurer’s guild, I went to the blacksmith’s for a long time to prepare for hunting.
With my daughter, I hear the bell again after a long time.
“Mister, we’re here!”
“What, are you alive? I thought you were dead because you didn’t come for a while.”
“Ah, if I die, the world will end?”
To be honest, the kid possessed by Arthur is an idiot, I think there is a 90% chance that the empire will perish if the story goes exactly as it was.
“Yes, yes. You’re great. You’ll soon become an S-class adventurer.”
“Mochilong. I’m still requesting a C-level promotion.”
“What, what? Little boy, you’re already in C grade?”
“A person with ability rises quickly.”
S class? If you get caught by me, SS rank is also easy.
Actually, there is no such thing as SS class.
“Rather than that, little girl, it seems that the number of women increases every time you come.”
“Is it inevitable that a woman is seduced by a strong man?”
“Because I couldn’t see it, I lost more luck…”
Rather, for a man like me, if there are only two of them, it’s a small thing, mister?
“The shop still has flies.”
“Never mind.”
Ey, I came and bounced with a good heart.
“Luna, what are you going to buy?”
“There is nothing.”
Saving money on hunting isn’t a very good option.
A true Hunta does not choose any means or methods when hunting?
“Then what about Yui?”
“Me, me?”
“Uh. You.”
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Maybe it’s because he was a hikikomori until recently, and whenever he goes somewhere, his eyes shine brightly.
Even now.
“I’m a wizard, so I don’t think I need anything here.”
Yuya, that is a stereotype.
He’s a very dangerous guy who eats away at people’s imaginations.
Isn’t it possible that a wizard could explode a monster’s head with a wand?
There are also magical girls who grind bamboo sticks with a magic punch.
If it’s a power mage, it belongs to the top.
These days, there are also healers who can break the skull of a monster with a mace.
“Then I guess you only need me.”
I took out the limbs of the iron golem I had caught the other day from my inventory.
“Mister, can you make a circular plate out of this?”
“What did you bring this time?”
“Iron Golem.”
“Iron Golem… It seems like a lot has happened while I haven’t seen you for a while…”
“not really?”
There was a lot of work, but was it difficult?
Rather, everything I did was easy.
I wonder if being possessed was originally this easy, but it was so different from what I knew that I felt a sense of separation.
Even if the possessed person is an extra, they go through all sorts of hardships, but after being possessed, I’ve been fighting like crazy so far, but there was nothing to be said for suffering.
“It’s easy to make, but why isn’t this good thing a weapon?”
“What do you do if you have a lot of weapons, you can’t even use both?”
To be honest, I’m satisfied with the weapons I’m using right now.
“If you’re going to change your weapon, I’ll change it to a better one later.”
It’s the weapon I’m using right now, I had no choice but to make it because I had nothing to use right away in the early stages of possessing.
I’ll break the S-class monster earthen pot later and make it with that material.
“If you do, then it must be so. Then how can I make it?”
“Just as wide and as big as possible.”
“It’s easy to do, but… I’m going to make something like that and use it somewhere?”
“I needed it to request a C-class upgrade.”
“I see… I still have no idea what I’m trying to do. Okay. I’ll make it, so come pick it up tomorrow.”
“Noop.”

next day.
Right after we received the goods from the smithy, we immediately took a wagon and moved to our destination.
The destination is a slime garden far from the empire.
The name Slime Garden is also a fucking laugh Bell, but why is it so far away that it’s no longer strange that such a dangerous monster is near people?
The common sense I knew was that slime was a monster that was common in the nearby grasslands.
Even if I took out all the knowledge I knew in my previous life, I was at a loss for words to stop at the reality beyond common sense, which did not resemble anything like this place.
less so
I thought in the wagon moving on the unpaved road.
‘boring.’
Even in my previous life, when I had to travel long distances, I would take a highway bus or car for several hours.
But back then, there was even a smart phone, but now the comfort of the ride is fucked up, and it was a pity to see the scenery where you could see only fields and trees wherever you looked.
“Yui. I’m bored.”
“That… how can I do it for you?”
“I don’t know. Do something.”
“Even if you say so…”
The owner says he’s bored, but if he doesn’t have it, he’ll have to make something.
“For some reason, I think it would be fun to kill you.”
Hunting isn’t the most fun.
Even if I didn’t awaken, wouldn’t it be easy to go up to level 5 because I’m a vampire queen?
Just imagining it makes my mouth water.
“Hee, heeik…! I’ll do it! I’ll do anything! So please don’t kill me!”
As I moistened my lips with my tongue, Yui, startled, hurriedly raised her palms and made a ball of blood.
It was a technique that applied blood magic.
Soon, the blood orb took the form of a human and started fighting on top of Yui’s palm.
The soldier in the left hand fought with a one-handed sword and shield, and the soldier in the right hand fought with a spear.
It was a battle scene that made my heart feel quite magnificent, so it was fun as if I was watching a small play.
“Yes! This is it! If there was such a thing, you should have done it earlier!”
“Yes, four! I’ll do my best!”
“·······.”
***
“Guests have arrived.”
It’s been a while since I watched Najakyu’s play.
The coachman stopped the wagon near the sight of the slime hill and dropped us off.
I didn’t even arrive yet, so I asked why I stopped.
In the first place, they say that they don’t go near the place where the monsters are because of the coachman’s safety.
‘What is that bastard’s slime?’
If slime pops out in front of you, you can just hit and run. I don’t know why people around the world pack slime like this.
We got off the wagon and watched the coachman go.
It’s not a monster that can be caught in just a few tens of minutes, so I can’t even ask you to wait this time.
The coachman didn’t seem to like waiting here, so I just sent it back.
Anyway, I brought a tent with the intention of camping on the way home today, so it doesn’t matter.
I put the field in front of my eyes into my field of vision.
A green sea of grass with sparsely grown trees and rocks.
Even just looking at it from a distance, you can see a wriggling slime of a translucent liquid that you would mistake for water at first glance.
As if it wasn’t called the Slime Garden for nothing, the only monsters around were slimes.
Judging from the fact that there are bones and molten flesh in the middle, it seems that the wrong monsters or wild beasts have been eaten.
In the Slime Garden, besides the normal slimes, there were also the dark gray metal slimes that I had seen in previous quests, and strange colorful slimes, and there were quite a lot of them.
Even if you don’t count and guess, well over 100.
“Really… just looking at it makes me less motivated.”
Slime is the only thing that a prospective C-class adventurer is coming to catch.
“That… Mr. Luke. It’s funny that I, a vampire, say things like this, but slimes are more terrifying creatures than I thought!”
Yui, who had been crying until just now, said with her arms wide open.
Its appearance was similar to that of a girl wearing a dinosaur pajama crying out, “Kwaaang!”
It must have been a word meant to raise awareness, but surprisingly, it doesn’t look scary at all.
Rather, it even lowered the existing tension.
“Listen, Yui. There is only one reason why people should be afraid of acid.”
acid rain.
If hit, hair loss comes.
To be honest, there is no way that I, who lived as an ordinary person in Korea, could see acidic liquid that would cause problems.
If something like bleach gets on your hands, you can just rinse it off with water.
‘Originally, there are infinite ways to use slime, but here, there is only one useless place. It sucks.’
If it was a rice cake, I would use it as an ona-hol and a condom, but in the world view here, slime is made of acid, so I can’t use it ona-hol either.
Even if you don’t have to make rice cakes, there is also a slime with a setting that only melts clothes, giving readers pleasure.
There is a worldview where you tame and make slime the strongest.
Compared to them, the slimes in this world view are real garbage itself.
It’s not cheesy, and there’s no usability.
“Luke. How are you going to hunt today? Didn’t you prepare anything other than the mysterious plate you received in the morning?”
“That’s enough. What more do you need?”
What, do you even need a nuclear bomb?
“But, can’t you see the king slime?”
“Yes. Adela couldn’t have given you the wrong information.”
How many meters do you say?
So if it’s a flat land like this, no matter how far away it is, isn’t it normal to see it with the naked eye?
But even after washing my eyes, I can’t find a monster that can be called King Slime.
“If not, can’t we lure them in?”
“how?”
“If I kill the slimes in front of me, won’t they appear?”
“Oh… that’s a good idea.”
Speaking of king slime, I don’t know the details, but it’s probably the parent of the slimes in front of me.
Regardless of whether you are a father or a mother, if you are hiding somewhere and watching, you won’t just watch your child die.
“To kill and lure their children in front of their parents’ eyes. Luna, you are finally starting to become smarter like me.”
“·······.”
Wow by the way, the luring method is really good, but aren’t you crying because you lost your job after drinking?
How can they say nothing about beating their children in front of their parents to entice them?
But if there is no other way than that, I can’t help it.
“Okay. Let’s lure it right away.”
We started working right away.
I only dealt with the metal slimes that could use physical attacks, and Luna and Yui dealt with the rest of the slimes.
If you light the club on fire and hit it, I can catch the slime too.
Yuina Luna would die with just one magic shot, so why would I do such an inefficient and troublesome thing?
took so long
Almost 20 per person, so close to 60.
For reference, the level didn’t go up at all for some reason.
At first, I thought that the slime that I was packing like that would eventually give me no experience points because it was a dick, but I was able to quickly find out the answer to that question.
I was getting tired, so I wanted to lay down a mat, eat, and continue, but the slimes suddenly gathered in one place, and soon they started to come together as if they were originally one.
“Oh, oh…”
Since all the slimes gathered in the field were gathered, the amount was considerable.
The more the slime got together, the bigger it got.
Eventually, a giant slime reaching 5m in size was completed.
Is this exactly how Pikachu feels when looking at Gigantamax?
The growing pressure in front of the slime subject is no joke.
Even I, a human, are like this, but what about from the point of view of Pokémon?
If it were me, I would grind an iron tail on the cheek of an eraser, stun it, and use it as a shield.
‘I was wondering why it didn’t level up, but since it was part of the main body, it doesn’t level up.’
The one I was catching was one of the fragments of the King Slime, so even if I caught it like that, the level didn’t rise.
If the main body remains intact, but if you catch the fragments and level up, you would have leveled up even if you didn’t kill other monsters and cut off just a part of the body, such as a finger or toe.
“I thought it was a child… was it a parent?”
It’s like cutting off your finger in front of your eyes.
I honestly thought slimes lacked emotions, but now that I see it, it doesn’t seem to be the case.
How do you know?
That would be the case, the colorless kid started to blush like that, but if that wasn’t angry, then what?
“Hey, Hans!”
“Hans…?”
“There is. An officer of the Demon King’s army.”
“·······?”
– Bubbling.
At that time, air bubbles rose up in King Slime’s body.
As if spitting, he spat out the liquid from his body.
The act was done in three parts.
There was no way we would be finely hit by the shooting liquid, and we easily evaded it.
-Chi-Ik…
Then the trees, soil, and rocks behind it melted away.
The acid also seems to contain a very poisonous acid.
Make sure to read from noble mtl . com
Maybe the pH level goes down as you get angry.
Until I came here, I was told that fire was my weakness, so I wanted to give it a hug or give it a hug with Fire☆Hugs, but now it turns out that if I did that, there would be no bones left, let alone a corpse.
I took popcorn from my inventory and threw it at the slime.
If so, anyway. The popcorn disappeared in an instant, leaving no crumbs behind.
“At that level, I’m pretty sure we won the Guinness record for throwing and eating cookies, right?”
I threw another one for fun, and this time I threw acid.
“Ou-san, what kind of slime theme is more ferocious than a dog with rabies?”
“Luke, what are you going to do now?”
How do you do it?
“Listen up, Luna. He’s slow. The fact that he’s not moving from where he is right now is proof of that.”
“Yes.”
“This is to use the legs he doesn’t have.”
“What is that method?”
That way is…
“It’s you~”
