Bonk!
The moment the bat touched the slime king and produced the loud bonk sound, the slime disappeared without a trace.
"Huft." Albert dropped to his knees and started panting. "Finally It's truly a hard battle, especially after fighting for so long."
Erica and Yale immediately rushed toward him.
"Teacher. Congratulations!" Yale waved his hand with a smile on his face. He knew the reason why Albert wanted to send the slime king to the Horny Jail instead of killing it despite becoming the bane of the slime's existence.
Albert wanted to take everything from the slime king and let the succubus kill it.
This way, not only would Albert receive that massive energy from the slime, but the succubus would also be thankful to him for trapping the slime king.
He had calculated the efforts from the succubus. At this point, their relationship depended a lot in favor.
So, with Albert doing all this, the succubus would feel indebted to Albert.
Erica knew exactly what it meant for the slime king to be killed. Since the slime reproduced by splitting themselves, with their king dead, there wouldn't be any more slime appearing in this place.
There wouldn't be a need to take care of this problem anymore.
Of course, they couldn't gather the slime cores that were said to be an excellent material for an aphrodisiac and other beauty products, but there were many slime-infested areas. They simply lost one. It wouldn't mean anything to them.
Erica sucked a cold breath and asked, "This Did you kill the slime king?"
Albert turned around and looked Erica in the eyes. After a momentary silence, he shook his head. "I merely seal it for three days, specifically 72 hours. The slime king will appear in this place again after the time is up."
"Sealing the slime king" Erica muttered in a low voice.
"I think you already know what to do. I want you to inform Lilith about this and prepare to subjugate it. Since they can split, we can build a containment vessel in this place, right? I'm sure three days are enough. You can use spells too."
"Y-yeah." She nodded furiously.
"Anyway, Yale. Mark this place for me." Albert pointed at the ground.
"Understood."
"So, do you need me to talk with Lilith too?" Albert asked nonchalantly.
Erica wasn't in the mood to refute him anymore for calling the succubus queen by her name. Her only thought was about the slime king.
After considering a few things, she nodded. "Please follow me to the brothel. I'm going to send a message to Her Majesty."
"Yeah. That's fine with me." Albert agreed without hesitation before turning to Yale. "What about you, Yale?"
"Although the king is gone, there should be a few more slimes inside the lake. So, I'm going to eliminate them thoroughly. It shouldn't be a problem considering they're a very horny monster," answered Yale while glancing at the lake.
"Alright. I'll leave it to you. We will meet in the inn later."
"Thank you for your trust, Teacher."
Albert waved his hand as he went back to the town with Erica.
As soon as they reached the brothel, Erica immediately guided them to the manager room.
She slammed the door open, finding a green-haired succubus sitting behind her desk.
"Eh?! Who are you?" The succubus obviously had no prior knowledge about Erica.
Erica said with a serious expression. "I need to borrow the Transmission Mirror. I've something big to report to Her Majesty."
"But this is not the report time" The succubus shook her head, declining her demand.
"Then, are you going to be responsible if we miss the only chance to defeat the slime king on the lake nearby? I'll take full responsibility." Erica demanded while slamming her hand on her desk, glaring at her.
"Slime king?" The succubus was taken aback and didn't know whether it was true or not. But seeing how Erica planned to take full responsibility, it should be fine.
Still, she needed to confirm her identity first. "If you have the authority to use the Transmission Mirror, you should have been registered as a manager or above. Can you confirm the identity?"
"Xander Town's Brothel Manager, Erica. Sirmeiona." She stated without hesitation.
The succubus was wondering why she blurted that information in front of a Demon Dog, but she thought the Demon Dog must be an important guest.
She immediately took out the logbook about the recorded name of the manager and confirmed it was her.
"I understand. I will guide you to my house." She nodded with a serious expression and immediately rose from her seat.
A moment later, they reached the house, and the succubus opened the transmission to Lilith.
"Exgra Town's Brothel Manager, Fermione, greets Her Majesty."
Lilith's face was filled with displeasure as the meeting was interrupted by this sudden connection.
She squinted her eyes and looked at the succubus, saying with a cold tone. "What is this all about?"
Standing beside her were several succubus that were in charge of the kingdom. They all looked at her while furrowing their eyebrows.
"I I have a visitor called Erica. Xander Town's Brothel Manager, Erica. Sirmeiona. She has information regarding a slime king and wishes to talk to you. She's also coming with a Demon Dog."
"Hmm?" Lilith's expression brightened when she heard Erica's name since she had been dealing with her for the past few days.
The succubus next to Lilith were panicking when they heard 'slime king' being mentioned. T
"What? Slime king?"
"This is a disaster-level monster. If a slime king actually comes out of its nest, it will be able to raze the entire thing to the ground."
"We need to form a special subjugation squad."
"Call the Royal Guards."
When they were panicking, Lilith shouted, stopping them. "Enough!"
The entire room turned into silence as they all looked at Lilith's cold face.
"Call them here," Lilith demanded with a strict tone.
"Y-yes." The succubus was afraid of displeasing Lilith even further, so she immediately left the room to call Albert and Erica.
When the succubus saw their appearances, especially Albert's, they realized this was the Demon Dog mentioned. He was the one that Lilith had been monitored this whole time.
Erica kneeled in front of the mirror while Albert was standing nonchalantly.
"Your Majesty. A slime king has appeared."
"I understand. We will send the special subjugation squad to make it retreat back to where it belongs."
"No. This time is different." Erica shook her head, not letting the ministers comment on Albert's nonchalant attitude. She looked at them with confidence. "Sir Albert has successfully sealed the slime king in a separate dimension. I believe Sir Albert can explain it better than me."
"What?"
"Sealing the slime king?"
"In a separate dimension?"
The succubus were shocked by the information to the point they couldn't believe it. However, Lilith turned to Albert and asked, "Is that true?"
"Yes." Albert nodded, startling the succubus.
They never thought someone far weaker than a slime king could do something like that.
Lilith, on the other hand, believed him and asked, "So, can you tell me the situation over there?"
So as to not make them suspect the existence of Horny Jail, Albert said, "With my power, I managed to send the slime king to an enclosed space.
"Unfortunately, due to our strength difference, I could only seal it for three days, specifically 72 hours. And one hour has passed, so 71 hours.
"I have marked when it will appear when the time limit is gone. So, I believe you can subjugate it." Albert explained with a confident smile.
"What?!"
"If we know where it will appear and have time to prepare, we could make a ditch and build it as a containment vessel. Then, we will bombard the slime king with magic until it dies. Even if the slime king splits its body, the containment vessel should be able to stop it."
"Yes. And since we can send high-tier magicians, the slime king wouldn't have the chance to fight back. If that happens, we can kill a slime king without any casualties."
"But Is it really true?"
The succubus were suspecting Albert boasted about his achievement, but Erica immediately dispelled their doubt. "I saw it with my own eyes. Sir Albert fought gallantly and forced the slime king to split its body.
"After that, Sir Albert sealed the slime king. If that wasn't the real slime king, I couldn't explain how the other bodies instantly disappeared the moment Sir Albert sealed that one particular slime."
"All clones disappeared" The ministers were staring at each other. They all had the same thought and confirmed that the slime king might indeed be sealed.
Lilith smiled and said, "Understood. Thank you for what you have done for us, Albert."
Albert nodded without saying anything.
Lilith suddenly stood up. "Raisa, you're going to follow me to that place and bring two hundred of our troops along with fifty high-level magicians. We will kill this slime king.
"Also, prepare the containment vessel within two days by using all our forces stationed in the Exgra Town. I will supervise the entire subjugation." Lilith stated with a smile on her face as if she was excited.
Lilith then looked at Albert, "You've truly done so much for us. Instead of here, I will just ask what you want over there. I hope that you don't mind waiting for me for three days, right?"
Albert's face distorted, showing how annoyed he was. He obviously didn't want to meet Lilith, but because the ministers were witnessing the conversation, he had no choice other than to agree.
After all, he couldn't afford to antagonize them as they might launch a sneak attack without bothering about the ban Lilith placed.
He nodded his head. "Well, it should be fine."
"Alright. That's good." Lilith immediately waved her hand, stopping the transmission. She didn't want the minister to rebuke Albert's casual attitude and make everything more complicated.
After getting Lilith's approval, Erica bowed down her head and said, "Truly I'm truly thankful for what you've done for us, Sir Albert. I wish I had something to give you"
Seeing Erica's action, Fermione also lowered her head to thank him.
"It's fine. Since I still need to be here for another three days, I guess I need accommodation."
"I understand. Do you need anything else? I will prepare it for you."
"Nah, it's fine. I'm planning to hunt a few monsters during the first two days and relax on the third day."
"In that case, I will accompany you for the first two days. If you also need me on the third day, please tell me." Erica hurriedly replied.
"Alright. For now, I want to go to another place Maybe there are some strong monsters at the level of D or C Rank adventurers?"
"In that case, we can go to the forest west of this town. If we go a bit deeper, we will find those monsters."
"Sure. It should be possible to finish everything within a day, right?"
"Yes. I'll guide you."
"Good. Let's go."
After coming to an agreement, Erica and Albert left the house, bidding goodbye to Fermione.
The latter started completing the task Lilith had given her. So, she started gathering the force to build a containment vessel before heading to the lake.
There, they would meet Yale, who would give them the exact location.
On the other hand, Albert and Erica made their way to the forest. Erica had become energetic after overcoming her trauma and seeing Albert defeating the slime king. It seemed the mutated slime wasn't scary in her mind anymore because Albert and Yale defeated so many of them right before her eyes.
So, she wanted to repay Albert for all the things he had done. She turned all monsters to horny and allowed Albert to bonk every single of them since he planned to refill the population of Horny Jail.
