T . N: this chapter is a bit tricky, but I’ve done my best to find the real meaning .
—————————————————————————
Chaos
(T . N: I’m really tempted to put “Crawling Chaos” instead, but not sure if that is correct)
Once I part with the black lizard, I sneak to cut across the direction of the slime’s path .
The pattern will be where I will attack and the black lizard hides herself waiting for a chance to attack with its poison .
I’ll have her cover me with〖Clay Gun〗if I was hard pressed .
She had to come out to the front during the match with the red monkeys, but that will be unnecessary this time .
In the case that was overwhelmed at close combat, the situation will not change at all even if she came to the front since she can only fire the〖Clay Gun〗 .
Since I have some MP remaining… . . Should I run some simulation with〖God’s Voice〗?
However, I don’t think it would be of much use .
To begin with, I don’t think it can be used against a person whose status I can’t see properly .
Even if I know the odds of winning is slim, I can’t really retreat here .
Even if I can plan what move to take once I know the chance of success, losing my MP means it will limits how many move I can take which is the same as putting the cart before the horse .
I think I can at least selfishly use the simulation when I’m in perfect condition, but it should also be a condition where I don’t really need to use my MP .
It will be almost completely dry if I use it now .
My HP had almost recover to 80% full thanks to automatic recovery, but my MP is short you see .
It’s okay .
Although it’s resistance is high, it’s status is not that high .
Although there are a lot of dangerous looking characteristic skills, I should be able to kill it in one blow it it’s going well .
It doesn’t have that much speed either .
The slime stops moving .
It seems to have a detection skill as it had noticed us .
I jump down from a large tree attacking the slime .
“Gaaaaaaaaa’!”
I have no idea why you’re trying to harm the village .
Although I’m curious, I’m in no mood to find out .
I put some power on my claws, and throw it towards the green slime .
The slime turn its body into something like a human mouth, and spit some suspicious fog from it .
Is it poison?
No, it doesn’t matter .
Even if it is, I’ll just have the black lizard heal it later .
I enter the black smoke, flinging my claws towards the slime .
There was a reaction .
My claws felt like it touch some liquid, as it scoop out the soft body .
Although I was going to shoot a second blow, I only touched the ground .
It seems to have avoided it .
The experience level doesn’t seems to rise, so it shouldn’t be done in with that attack just now .
Anyway, right now my visibility is low .
I retreat a few steps to get out from the fog .
It doesn’t seems to be poison .
That water puddle doesn’t seems to be its body, and it seems like its body is not in the fog either .
That black thing, it it some kind of magic that doesn’t allow light to pass through?
Soaking and lying in it might feels good .
I keep my distance from the black fog, waiting for the slime to come out .
If it’s this much distance, I should be able to cope with any kind of attacks it will throw .
Once the fog clears, I began to see what’s inside .
At the back, I saw a shadow of two people .
Trembling while hugging each other, was a human boy and girl . .
“Why… . . where is this?”
“E-eh,why… . ?”
They absolutely should not be here until a while ago .
Why?
Does it move them here with its skill?
Since they’re already here there’s no time to think .
I should protect them before they’re found by the slime .
I should also look out as it might took that chance when I’m trying to help them .
The boy suspiciously make an eye contact with me, and extend his hands towards me .
His hand suddenly turns green and stretch towards me .
The tip of his arm change into a sharp object .
My reaction was delayed to avoid it .
The attack hit my shoulder .
The thing that looks like an extended arm shrinks at once and return to its body like a yo-yo after it slightly crushed my shoulder .
I kicked the ground to take a distance once again .
I finally know the true shape of this monster .
The girl still stares at the boy anxiously .
The boy stares at me with lifeless eyes .
The body of the two suddenly turns green, and starts melting and mixed together .
Once it turned into a puddle, once again it turn into a form of a humanjosei
This time it turned into a gender less figure that is neither a boy nor a girl .
It was naked with hair growing to the shoulder,with its young body without any irregularity, but I can’t figure out its gender .
The upper part of the body that stood up above the puddle really creeps me out .
This time, the body is transparent green with a muddy color .
As it seems to be able to transform its figure, as well as changing color surely, I still did not think this fellow can hold a conversation .
That reminds me, as he have taken the〖Gurisha Language〗 from Douz, I wonder if it can speak?
Can’t it make a vocal cord to talk?
Even I still had to bark this year .
“When you evolve, does your skill greatly change? So troublesome”
The mouth that the slime just make starts to talk .
This fellow, its intelligence is already at a human level .
It reminds me of myself .
No, did it send information using the Mahaa Wolf’s〖Magic Wave Transmission〗?
There is a possibility of that too as it was using its skill in hiding and watching me .
Something that looks like an eyeball comes out of the surface of the semi transparent slime .
It swims inside the slime’s body and moves to the back .
“At the back, is the lizard at the tree root one of yours?”
Seems like it had a detection skill, so it’s impossible for the black lizard to hide its existence to find a chance to attack .
From the shadow of the tree, the black lizard shoots〖Clay Gun〗 .
As the black lizard noticed that her cover had be blown, she decided to give up on hiding .
Countless number or earth bullet attacks .
Wriggling its body, it leisurely avoid the attacks .
The bullets are skillfully evaded by changing its form into fluid shaped .
Still, none of the attacks manages to creates a hole into its body as they passed as it is .
Its HP doesn’t change at all .
It was stuck at the same maximum value of〖148/148〗 .
Even if it evades that countless number of bullets, it seems like my claw attacks doesn’t affect it either .
There should be some effect, but did it recover?
Seeing the〖Automatic HP recovery〗,〖Super Regeneration〗,〖Hyper Recovery〗,〖Self-Replication〗and〖Life Drain〗, it really does have a lot of means to recover .
This fellow, is it hopeless unless I kill it in one blow?
“I gave up . Unless I can win easily, I will refuse to fight . ”
The slime doesn’t move, only the he eyeball that floats on the inside moved, alternately staring at the black lizard and me .
