Nero, The Legendary Hunter

Chapter 16 - 16

"You whore! Don't be so convinced you've won! I know how to throw things too." After he said that, he raised his ax and pretended to throw it at Nero, but he didn't really let it go until he turned and aimed toward Jair.

*Woosh!*

"Damn..." Nero had a bad premonition about this and threw the knife using * [Queen's throw] * But as the ax did not come towards her, and rather went towards Jair, she wouldn't be able to stop it in time since the ax was thrown with too great a force and too high a speed.

"..." Nero wasn't fast enough for her to be able to save Jair.

"Noooooo!"

Jana and Choko screamed in terror. They wanted to help, but they too were not fast enough.

Jair clenched his teeth and saw that he was no longer able to escape. All he could do was try to attack with his sword to slow down the thrown ax.

*Blam!*

The metallic sound echoed and sparks came off of the ax and sword, and with the sound of a large *Crack!* Jair's sword broke into pieces and the ax hit his chest.

*Poow!*

Jair vomited blood as he was forced back by the impact of the ax. He was in such pain in his chest as if he had been hit by a hammer to his chest, which in truth had not been much different, as he had been hit by the brunt side of the ax. The pain was unbearable, making him vomit blood as he fell on the floor and then passed out.

"Jairrr!"

The two girls shouted his name and Breno as well. The three went to him.

"Hahahahaha! Even if I die, I will at least take one of you with me. Kakakakaka!" The leader of the thieves burst into insane laughter, full of cruelty and wickedness. He didn't even try to dodge the dagger that came flying towards him, which ended up lodging itself in his head.

You defeated the Demon: [Assassin] Rank F: Level 6.

Nero frowned. She thought this thief was human, but from what her system said, it was a demon... And it was an assassin instead of a thief.

"No, no, no!" Jana said no less than three times when she noticed that Jair's heart was no longer beating. She went into despair, crying and screaming very loudly for fear of losing her brother. "You can't die; don't leave me; don't die, Jair!"

Nero was not known to them, but she still felt sorry for them when she saw them cry like that. Nero came over and tried to say, "Do mouth-to-mouth breathing and also pump his chest."

"What?" They looked at Nero without understanding. It was very difficult to follow what she meant, especially when it was words that they had never heard before in their lives.

"Let me help!" Nero said. She knew she would have to do it herself and not be worried that she would have to put her mouth on a man's mouth. After all, it was a life that was at stake.

"... Do you know how to save him?" Jana asked, and Nero nodded.

"Okay, please save my brother!" Jana pleaded.

Nero nodded again and approached Jair. She knelt next to him and saw that his chest had suffered a severe blow. Taking a deep breath, using her knowledge from the other world, she placed one hand over the other, and with the heel of the hand and the extended arm, she began to compress down on his sternum. She had a lot of strength, so she had to restrain herself, but she knew that at this moment she had to use at least a little strength.

The speed that she did the compression was from 100 to 120 beats per minute. When she felt his heart beating, Nero was happy, but didn't allow herself to relax. Covering her nose with one hand, filling her lungs with air, she brought her trembling lips closer to Jair's lips.

Seeing this, Jana and Choko were totally surprised, but when they saw that Jair's heartbeat returned, they didn't interfere. With her mouth in his mouth, she started to blow slowly for about 2 seconds. Removing her mouth, she filled her lungs with air again and blew again after 5 seconds.

"Ahhh!"

'It worked...' Nero sighed in relief and walked away from him a little.

Jair took another breath, looking like he came out of a nightmare, breathing heavily.

"Thank God!" Choko hugged Nero, without caring that they just met, while shouting loudly thanking her from the bottom of her heart, "Thank you so much! If it weren't for you, my friend would have died!"

Jana, who was hugging her brother while crying a lot, also hugged Nero afterward and thanked her, again and again. She understood the sacrifice Nero had to make in saving her brother's life, so she didn't even have enough words to thank Nero for saving her brother.

Breno also thanked her. He was deeply moved by Nero's actions.

Jair, before he knew what was going on, passed out again, but this time he was still breathing.

While they took care of Jair, Nero took advantage of the fact that they were distracted and worried about Jair to allow her to secretly absorb the corpses. When they looked and saw Nero's actions, they thought she was piling up and then going to burn or bury the bodies…

Of course, Nero was not going to say that the thieves would turn into fertilizer for her Primal Slime.

Alone beside a small mountain of corpses, Nero invoked the Primal Slime. At the same time that the Primal Slime appeared, she commanded it to "eat" all of the corpses. It wasn't as if the Primal Slime had any objection; it didn't seem to have a conscience of its own, doing whatever Nero ordered.

Primal Slime, whose body appeared to be made of acid, began to melt the corpses and absorb everything into its green gelatinous body. When Primal Slime finally finished with all the corpses, which took some time, it was possible to see through the constantly changing Primal Slime's gelatinous body the thieves' remains turned into fertilizer to nourish Primal Slime.

Primal Slime mutated!

Primal Slime Level 3 is now: Demonic Acid Slime Level 4.

_ _

A pair of arms grew from the body of Slime. The body also got bigger, being almost 300 cm tall. Demonic Acid Slime had quite the demonic appearance, with a green body and thick arms that looked like a gelatinous tree trunk. The head was oval with a pair of snake eyes, incredibly intimidating. It had no nose or ears, and on the chest, it was possible to see a small bulge.

'Is it a female Slime?' Nero didn't know if Slime had the concept of male or female, but seeing that it seemed that her Slime evolution had breasts, although small, she came to believe that it was because Slime was always female, only she had not been able to differentiate between the genders.
