Madman in a Fantasy World

47. rice

I jumped with all my might, using my two strong legs, which Slime didn’t have.

“Hey, what are you doing? Don’t stand there blankly, you guys, come here quickly!”

I ordered Luna and Yui, who were staring blankly at me like that.

Luna managed to catch up somehow, but Yui, a born hikikomori wizard, seemed quite daunted to run.

“Now, wait! Let’s go together…!”

The King Slime, who was watching us from behind, once again spits acid.

“hahahaha! Ba~boy! You can’t get hit by the same attack!”

– Iron flounder.

“?”

There was a strange noise.

The acidic liquid, which should have melted like it did earlier, made a viscous sound like a liquid monster instead of melting.

When I checked something closely, it was that I had split my body and flung it.

“It wasn’t the same attack.”

They say it’s intelligent, and among the monsters I’ve seen so far, it’s the second most intelligent after the vampire.

A group of slimes that flew in front of us blocked the road.

“Luna!”

Luna blew a wind in the direction of travel.

It didn’t feel like a one-point focused attack that I’ve seen before, but I blew the wind randomly as if I was going to blow away the obstacles in front of me.

Thanks to that, the road was cleared for a while.

Now, if you pass over there, you will be out of range of King Slime.

“Heo-eok… Wait a minute…”

Yui, who has low stamina, began to gasp for breath.

I had no choice but to pick it up with one hand and run with it on my side.

“Hee, hee…!”

But it was lighter than the supersword I wielded, probably because I was skinny.

If you add a bit of exaggeration and raise the strength stat a little more, you can lift it with just your little finger.

That’s how we get out of the place where the king slime is, and before entering the field, the border between the forest and the field with many trees.

We returned to the place where we got off the carriage.

“That… Mr. Luke. It’s a bit late, but since the situation has already happened, I’m asking you now…”

“What?”

“Why did you run away——.”

“Strategic retreat.”

“…Why did you make a strategic retreat? You’ve never had anything like this before.”

Well, it was still like that.

But at the time, there was no need for that.

I just needed a retreat this time.

“Can you catch that with only your mana?”

“It must be difficult.”

“Me too… I think it’s impossible…”

see

Then why do you retreat, why do you retreat?

“Luna. No matter how manly I am, I don’t hunt without my brain.”

Go and swing your sword at the guy who doesn’t look like physical attacks.

It’s not that I’m a real man, but we made a social promise to say that we’re idiots.

And since I’m a real man and not a nerd, I just made a reasonable choice.

“What you think is crazy, I’m a real man, okay?”

“… what’s the difference?”

“The idiot is stupid, and the real man is smart. And I’m a real man. Got it?”

“·······.”

“Do you understand?”

“···Yes.”

There is a famous quote from a famous general in the district where I lived.

Make sure to read from noble mtl . com

Mortality instant life mortal instant death.

If you want to die, you will live; if you want to live, you will die.

When I think about it with my genius brain, it’s all bullshit.

So, did you die because you wanted to live?

If you want to die, you die. What do you live for?

If you really wanted to die to live, everyone in the world would have cuts on their hands as well as marks on their necks from ropes.

Only then could I have lived.

The real strategy is to retreat and come up with countermeasures if you think it will not work.

It’s not for nothing that we act as suicide bombers with strange self-hypnosis like ‘we can win!’.

‘Then what should I do now…’

We don’t have explosion magic one-tool wizards, and we don’t have a lich who can use wide-range ice magic well.

But that slime is slow to move, and it doesn’t seem like it’s coming out of the field, seeing as it doesn’t follow it this far, so don’t we have to deal with it?

‘then······.’

I took an ax from my inventory.

“Here, take this.”

“”·······?””

I took out the ax and handed it to Luna and Yui, and they both looked at me with puzzled expressions.

“Don’t you know an ax? An ax. A tool used to cut down trees.”

“No… not because I don’t know, but because I needed this…”

“Get some wood. Make a fire.”

“Are you going to hunt by lighting a tree on fire…?”

“Are you a caveman?”

I made an impression.

You’re not even a caveman who first discovered fire, what kind of idiot method are you using?

“Then why is the tree…?”

“Let’s eat.”

“Here…?”

“uh.”

“Now…?”

“uh.”

Is eating a meal worthy of being looked at like a madman?

The skin on my stomach will cling to my back.

They say Mt. Geumgang is also an after-dinner view.

It’s been a while since lunchtime, but I’m hungry, so let’s eat some food.

It’s a job that says let’s eat everything, but if you’re hungry, write it.

Hunting can be done while eating, and it is not too late to do it after eating.

“Don’t use small things like twigs to put on the iron plate you brought in the morning. Cut them into wooden barrels and bring them.”

While the iron plate will be heated, I will have to grill the meat I bought before coming up there.

To have lunch, each of them split up and cut down a tree.

Each of us felled trees in an efficient way that suited us.

Luna uses wind magic and Yui makes an ax using blood magic.

FYI, I knock down trees one by one with one swing of my supersword.

It’s been a long time since everyone threw their axes on the floor.

That’s how I cut all the logs around, laid the brought logs on the floor in a straight line, poured oil and lit a fire.

Originally, logs don’t catch fire well, but isn’t there someone among us who is very good at supplying oxygen in the fire?

“Luna.”

“Yes.”

When the wind blows once, the small fire quickly spreads and burns the whole log.

On top of that, I put a large iron plate with a diameter of 4m that I brought today.

How many people in the world can carry something this big?

In short, no

It clearly shows the merits of the inventory that the writer set to F-rank because he was stupid.

On a moderately heated iron plate, he grilled the meat he bought in the morning from his inventory.

– Chi Ik.

The sound of grilling meat sounds so good, even though the slime’s acid sounds like melting something.

“…while hunting, I wonder if this is correct.”

“Me too…”

“Why don’t you eat? It’s already past lunchtime.”

There are kids who always make mistakes like that even though they are going to eat well.

“Okay, eat a lot. That way you can eat and work hard.”

“···Yes.”

“yes···.”

***

“Knock it off.”

oh, full

After all, when you are full, your motivation increases and your strength increases.

“Let’s start now.”

Youngcha, the old man made a noise and stood up from his seat.

Luna and Yui wake up when I wake up.

If you turn your gaze a little, the king slime, who was still in the same spot, came into view.

“Do you have any ideas?”

“I have to catch this.”

Tingting, flicked the iron plate with his finger.

“Didn’t you take this out to eat…?”

“Who carries such a needlessly big thing to eat?”

Of course, I asked for it to be made for hunting.

I had a rough idea of how to hunt from the moment I read King Slime’s explanation.

In fact, making a steel ball rather than a plate and heating it up to throw it was one of the ways I thought of.

Throwing a round iron ball is also a hit type if you look at it closely, and if you watch YouTube, ‘I put a 1,000-degree iron ball on ice.’

The reason I didn’t do that was because I was bothered that I wouldn’t be able to do it all at once.

How many dozens would I have to throw to melt that big thing with a hot iron ball?

I can’t do that because it’s annoying.

And the iron plate wouldn’t actually go up to 1,000 degrees, but it would still be hot enough to evaporate the liquid in an instant.

I kept heating it while I was eating.

“Yui, you said slime was strong.”

“Yes! At least from the information I know.”

dog sound.

Slime is strong?

I’m going to tell you why slime sucks today.

“I’ll tell you what your role is. Luna, you make a foothold, make it as strong as possible. Yui, you can use up all your magic, so stop that slime from moving.”

“All right.”

“Yes! I’ll try!”

“Okay. Let’s start right away.”

I put the iron plate in my inventory.

From now on, it’s a race against time.

The hot iron cools down unexpectedly quickly.

So, the hunt must be finished before it cools down.

I hurried my idle leg and sprinted in the direction of the slime.

“Luna!”

When I called out Luna, she immediately created a scaffold made of wind in front of me.

A foothold that jumps high when you jump in a windy place that you’ve only seen in games.

As much as the mana was filled, the effect was direct.

“Ooooooooooo——!?”

It was a pretty good feeling to fly in the sky whenever I felt it.

The wind is cool, and my body feels light.

The biggest problem was the lack of a safety device.

“Yui!”

Next was Yui.

The scale of the magic Yui used was astounding, as she said in advance that she could use all her magical power.

In an instant, the floor was filled with blood, and soon a thorn rose to block the movement of the slime.

Now only I am left.

I took out the iron plate I put in my inventory at my feet.

Iron is weak to acid.

If it was made of ordinary iron, it would corrode and melt in an instant.

However, the iron golem is an iron horse, but actually a monster, so it is not real iron, but something harder than iron.

In the first place, the iron golem itself was a C-class monster in the latter half of the play, so it must be stronger or equal to the king slime.

It doesn’t melt easily because it’s made from the material of those monsters.

“It’s a steel plate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

You don’t even have to apply strong force. You don’t even need to put any weight on it. Gravity will take care of it.

Squirming, the slime, sensing danger, tried desperately to escape.

In an attempt to divide it even if it was late, I threw the body that had been split in all directions, and I tried to avoid it even a little by moving my slow body.

But,

“Mo osoi!!!!! Escape is impossible!!!!!”

Because Yui was blocking it well, the escape went back to nothing.

– Chii Iik!!!!!!!

When the iron plate touched the slime’s body, smoke from evaporation dispersed and the slime’s body began to shrink at the same time.

Its appearance was similar to that of pressing hotteok with a presser.

Standing on the iron plate, I felt a sinking feeling and saw the smoke gradually clearing.

[ Level Up! Check your status! ]

[ Level Up! Check your status! ]

[ Level Up! Check your status! ]

[ Level Up! Status… ]

By the time the line of sight is infinitely close to the ground.

As the level up notification popped up, I recognized that the hunt was over.

‘It’s too boring…’

Well, I didn’t want something great from the start.

After all, slime was slime.
