Chapter 30 - Sin Eating Slime

Blurp...Plup...

Pop...

I could see a little boy wrapped in negative emotions. He stood beside a cart of old wine on the second shelf, with fancy glasses.

The little boy was staring at me with a gaze filled with rage and a strong desire to kill me. Even in the onslaught of the Royal Palace soldiers who were holding him back, there was no gap for them to successfully block him.

Kaboom...

A light explosion sound came from him.

With just a single punch of his hand, he managed to send the body of the Royal Palace soldier flying without using magic. It was not something a normal little boy could do without using another intermediary to strengthen his little fist punch.

"I will kill you!" he shouted while glaring at me.

[ Lily-chan, it seems like this is going to be a little more dangerous than I thought. ]

Oh, my Goddess, what brings you here this time?

[ Fufu... I appeared when I felt a dangerous feeling for Lily-chan and it seems to be true. Do you know what happened to that little boy? ]

I don't know, I don't understand why, but he wanted to kill me openly.

He even threw an old wine bottle and some fancy glasses at me.

[ It's disgusting. The emotion of hatred for his sins towards someone has attracted the attention of the sin-eating slime and made him lose control as a normal human. Currently, his physical abilities are equal to an adult male who has trained for thirty years. ]

Would that be dangerous?

[ For whom? Lily-chan will easily deal with it. It's just that... ]

It's just... what?

[ It's just that... I don't like the slime or tentacle genre. It's a bit unethical and ruins the art of innocence of the holy girls who are bound by contract as one of the Saintesses chosen directly by the Goddess. ]

...

...

I could only be silent after hearing that.

I don't understand the meaning of the Saintess's ambiguous words at all.

What is it?

Something dangerous done by the sin-eating slime?

[ Lily-chan, let me explain to you what a sin-eating slime is. ]

[ Sin-eating slime is a type of slime that has evolved with the power of negative energy that destroys the balance of magic and physics. Just like a forest that has been dominated by wolves contaminated with negative energy for a long time, it will slowly change the human who has been completely devoured into a new identity that is far different, that is because the physical condition and magic formation will be far different than usual. ]

[ There is no doubt that the sin-eating slime will form a new identity mixture for its victim. By merging with the sin-eating slime, he will consciously become an individual dominated by negative magic elements. ]

[ This will make the temple send their Saintess to purify the damaging negative energy. However, it cannot be felt by the fake Saintess who is not directly appointed by the Goddess. ]

[ For example, just look at the Saintess from the Temple of the Goddess Aurora. Doesn't she look normal as if she doesn't realize the thick negative energy emitted from the little boy? ]

I glanced at Hana who was enjoying fruit juice using the luxurious glass that I gave her with Alice and Alyssa.

There was no response from her eye movements that realized the abnormality of the negative energy that was peaking high like this. It seemed that Hana really couldn't feel the negative energy that was overflowing with this feeling of tightness.

My vision suddenly slowed down and I could see a bottle of old wine flying across my line of sight that was diverted to Hana.

"What are you looking at, bitch? I'll kill you quickly if you don't look at me!" shouted the little boy with his angry attitude.

I looked back at him and realized that his entire body was covered in sin-eating slime.

The expression on his devastated face was filled with endless anger.

His grip was now pointing a bottle of old wine at me.

"Can you stop doing that useless thing?" I said to divert his attention to me.

Prakk...

Bosshh...

The little boy broke the old wine bottle and showed the sharp glass shards as his weapon.

"You will die!" said the little boy while pointing to the sharp end of the old wine bottle shards.

"Can you do that?" I replied in a casual tone before my gaze slowed down again and saw the throw given by the little boy.

Wusshh...

The throw given by the little boy was very accurate and faster than before. Because of the sharp tip of the glass, I could see the reflection of the tip's shine when it was hit by the sunlight. If I moved to avoid it, it would cause someone behind me to be hit by the deadly attack.

Pamm...

I stopped the fast attack with a small slash from my katana. Its long sharp eyes made it easy for me to reach the smallest pieces pushing the glass shards until they fell and stuck in the ground.

Pamm...

Pamm...

Several attacks were launched at me again. Various sharp glass shards flew towards my body at incredible speed. My hand that had been holding my katana now had to work hard to gently destroy the sharp pieces of glass before they hurt someone at this royal family party.

"Hey, isn't this too much?" I said to interrupt his rude actions that wanted to hurt someone behind me.

"If you dare, why don't you just use a close-range attack?" I continued using the Sakura Taunt skill.

Like a cherry blossom petal that lost its composure when blown by the wind in spring, it seemed to have succeeded in breaking his composure and slowly ran towards me carrying a broken bottle of old wine as his main weapon.

A fight like this seemed like it would be an interesting show, especially with Mio's sharp gaze that had not shown itself until now because it was held back by my mother who did not want to ruin this royal family party any further.

Wush...

Bump...

Swung...

Several slashes and stabs were directed at my body which was not protected by armor.

Seeing the attacks coming at me, I could see his annoyed expression as my body moved efficiently to avoid them. My slow gaze and my body's quick response had made his close-range attacks useless.

The little boy took a step back and grabbed a handful of soil to throw at me.

Passmm...

Um, my Goddess, isn't this too much for a sin-eating slime? Why does it have the instinct to attack me in this way?

[ Since its body has merged with the memories of its host, it seems that the slime has improvised an attack that originates from one of its host's memories. ]

Such a pathetic attack like this?

Even with my eyes closed, I could feel the direction of the attack aimed at it.

I quickly used Sakura Dance and Sakura Bloom to avoid its attacks.

The direction of the attacks aimed at me was always accurate. However because my fighting position was in the middle of the royal family's party, it made it difficult for me to maintain a more comfortable party atmosphere after spreading Zoe's curse.

"Your feels seems to bad when want to kill me openly, is it okay if I attack back?" I said as I slashed its last attack that was aimed at my chest.

"Shut up!"

"Come on, you're being very honest about this. Don't you have an overwhelming desire to kill me? Why don't you gather all the power you have to kill me?"

"Shut up!"

There was a strong reaction to his refusal not wanting to release all his power. Like the sin-eating slime has limitations in meeting the greatest attack of its host body, if that is true then it is good news for me who must hit him with a purification blow.

Oh, by the way, my Goddess, how do I do the same purification as Ciel and Sia did?

[ Purification? ]

Yes, purification for him who has been swallowed by the sin-eating slime.

[ Eh, why? Wouldn't it be better to beat him up and destroy the sin-eating slime? ]

[ That's better than saving that shameless little boy. His shattered self-esteem has driven him to be triggered to obtain extraordinary power from the sin-eating slime. ]

[ There is no extraordinary opportunity other than purification that plants the seeds of trauma when seeing slime or Lily-chan. ] Explore new worlds at empire

[ That's better than doing purification that takes excessive time and magic energy. Moreover, it's just one individual. Lily-chan can use an empty wine bottle as a medium to sealing the sin-eating slime. ]

Un, I more or less know what the Goddess said.

I just need to make it surrender with a few punches, right?

[ Not just with punches, Lily-chan. But you have to plant the seeds of trauma to not get involved with you again. ]

I think, I understand.

Hitting until it traumatizes him, right?

But how do I do all that?

[ That's easy, Lily-chan. Use hard punch to scare the sin-eating slime with attacks aimed at him without injuring the little boy's body. ]

As my body endlessly danced under the rain of cherry blossom petals, I could see the annoyed expression on the little boy's face who was unable to hit my body. The agile and fast movements of my body turned out to be very effective in fighting the stamina from the power lent by the sin-eating slime.

The negative energy I felt slowly disappeared and the strength of the little boy who wanted to kill me seemed to decrease drastically.

"Is that enough? Isn't it time for me to strike back besides avoiding it?" I said with a sharp grin according to the Goddess's words to traumatize him when he meets slimes or me.

With a wide smile on my face, I clenched my fist and hit his cheek with a soft stomp.

Baamm...

The sound of the blow that came from the impact of my hand immediately attracted excessive attention because of its loud sound. The little boy's body was thrown back and hit the outer wall of the Royal Palace.

From the debris of dust that covered him, I could see his mouth vomiting blood along with disgusting black glands. The black glands wriggled as if they wanted to get out of his body.

After all the vomiting was over, I could see the existence of the sin-eating slime very clearly. Several soldiers of the Royal Palace came to help the little boy but were held back by the sin-eating slime that was looking for a new host body. Following the Goddess's advice, I immediately took one of the empty wine bottles to seal the sin-eating slime.
