Chapter 301: Correction, Four
A giant monster was about to trample the wall of Karelia.
I stopped it from bringing its forefeet down with a barrier and pushed it back with the same, restricting its movement.
Then.
You have done well enduring so far, knights and adventurers of Karelia. Now, five of us SS-rank adventurers will defeat the enemy monster. Repeat Five of us SS-rank adventurers will defeat the enemy monster. Leave the rest to us.
I issued a warning to everyone standing on the walls.
After all, the force needed to repel this kind of monster will be quite powerful.
Theyve come to save us huh
On top of the wall.
An old man with a white beard muttered so.
Around him are several knights that seem to be his escorts.
Are you the Lord of this city?
Indeed. I am Vengerov, the Lord of Karelia. I have a question in return. Are you Silver?
Yeah, thats right. I happened to be at the headquarters earlier so I came. Together with the other four.
I, I seeso the Guild thought that it required all of you together to defeat it huh.?
Thats not the case.
We only came because we were free.
Before I knew it, Noname arrived next to me who was floating midair.
And Egor who answered the Lords question casually pulled out a chair, placed it next to the Lord, and started sipping tea.
Vengerov lost his posture and stepped back at his sudden appearance but there was a person who supported him from behind.
You have to consider your attitude more, Elder Egor. Ah, sorry about that, Lord-san.
.
It was Linares who appeared behind Vengerov.
As expected, these guys are really fast huh.
I transferred them to the outskirts of the city and headed to the wall first using another transfer magic but they caught up with me using normal means of travel. Egor even procured a chair and tea in the process.
What about Jack?
He said that he is going to grab a drink.
I see. Excuse me, Lord-dono. It seems that it will only be the four of us here.
Me alone is enough.
When I corrected myself, Noname pulled out the Dis Pater.
I released the barrier holding down the giant monster and instead erected one to cover the surrounding, preventing the Dis Pater from destroying it.
Noname held her sword up and swung it down with all she got.
Then, a slash composed of a large amount of magic power heads toward the giant monster.
The slash splendidly hit the giant monster and a curtain of smoke was raised from the impact.
No matter how big it is, its still a Green Plant Tiger. Its not a monster that is worth our time in the first place.
I sigh at Nonames words.
Then I ask Egor for his opinion since he is the one who is most familiar with monsters here.
Elder Egor. Have you ever seen such a huge Green Plant Tiger?
Cant say I have. A Green Plant Tiger wasnt supposed to be that big in the first place.
Maybe its a mutant?
Probably. But theres also another possibility too.
You are thinking what I am thinking right?
Probably.
Egor sips his tea while replying so.
As we were having such a conversation, the dust cleared up.
From behind the dust emerged two Green Plant Tigers.
However, they seem to be unscathed and are probably preparing their counterattack.
It made a copy of itself after receiving my blow?
Even if its a Green Plant Tiger, that regeneration speed is too fast.
The Green Plant Tigers surely are monsters that possess high regenerative ability. Since they are originally a plant, it can continue to regenerate itself if it maintains contact with the earth.
While they were designated as AAA-rank monsters, their regeneration shouldnt be able to keep up with the damage from Nonames attack.
On top of the mutation that increased its size, this ability is going to be troublesome.
So it is not a normal mutation. And? Any opinion, you two?
.its probably an evolution slime.
Theres no other possibility.
Haa..that super rare monster huh.
Linares tiredly muttered.
Evolution slime is only a simple slime at first glance.
However, it can consume other creatures and makes its appearance and characteristics its own. The troublesome part about this ability is that this slime can exert more power than the consumed creature.
It is indeed an evolution. By consuming its target, it can evolve further than the target itself.
However, its ability is rarely seen since it is only a normal slime if it doesnt assimilate anything.
They are often overlooked because of their powerlessness and they normally got preyed on naturally as they possess no power to survive in the wild against other monsters.
They are a super rare type of monster. No one knows how they are born and it is said that they are a mutated species of slime but some even say that it is an entirely different species.
An evolution slime that consumed a Green Plant Tiger. That should be its true identity. It would raise a question of how did an evolution slime consume an AAA-rank Green Plant Tiger though.
Lets leave that to the Guild. We should worry more about how to handle the monster in front of us first.
There are two ways to deal with these troublesome slimes. You either annihilate it entirely or destroy the small core inside its body.
Annihilation it is.
Annihilation of course.
Annihilation huh.
Haa.
Egor stands up from his chair while Linares lightly cracks his shoulder.
Perhaps wanting to unleash an even more powerful blow, Noname began gathering magic power into Dis Pater.
I have one thing to say to those three.
I dont mind you doing that but dont level the terrain in the process.
Thats a tall order. I am planning to gouge it out from the ground.
To annihilate something like that, the two mountains behind that thing will have to disappear in the process.
Are you holding back because you are the Empires SS-rank adventurer? Please dont mind about something like that. It will cause more damage if we leave it alone after all.
Didnt you people listen? Clyde said it himself. Do not level the terrain.
Egor frowns at my words while Linares put his hand on his cheek as though he found it to be troublesome.
Theres no change in Nonames attitude as she is still holding up the Dis Pater.
Since Clydes dominant in the Guild right now, if we change the landscape here, the responsibility might fall on him. So no leveling the terrain.
Right, since we all came here together, we have to keep our promise huh.
Even so, its hard to find such a small core you know?
.if we cant level the terrain because there are five of us here then if all of you go back, wouldnt that mean I can do whatever I want?
You think I will let you do whatever you want after I used my transfer magic for you? I will not allow you to do as you please.
Thats strange isnt it. If the Sokal empire suffers, the Empire will have it much easier, you know? The Eastern Border Defense Force can use the chance to move after all.
It doesnt matter what country we are in. it is the people that should be our priority. This monster already caused a lot of damage to this area. We should avoid damaging this place any more than this.
Saying so, I look around.
Even if this area is damaged, the military power of the Sokal empire will not decline. Thats how this country is.
Causing damage here will only be giving the people in this area a hard time in the future.
Plus, right now I am not a Prince of the Empire.
I am an adventurer.
I will explain the content of this mission. Minimize the damage to the surroundings and search for the core of the evolution slime. Dont even by mistake release any powerful attack alright?
Good grieffor a time-killing quest, this one sure is difficult huh.
Im troubled. Im not good at holding back too.
I will be the one that delivers the final blow to the core. That is my condition.
Do whatever you want. Now then.we will be intercepting its attack for the time being. Its coming.
The moment I said that.
The evolution slimes regeneration was completed and it has sent countless objects flying our way.
