Chapter 16 – A Kind World
In the Eternal Magia game, amongst all the monster that is tame-able, slime is famous for being the most useless. Goblins can quickly learn [Steal] after being tamed so they are somewhat useful, Orcs is obviously useful as a great meat shield, and the other monsters also have their own easy to understand usefulness. While Slime would only be able to use solvent attack to add 20% more damage, give enemies continued poison damage for 15 seconds, and destroy equipment. Beside they take too much time to be trained until they reach that level, they also beyond weak to impact damage which make them even worse.
(Eros: that’s how the raw said. I found those skills great though)
But if you look from another perspective, then inversely, beside impact, fire, and ice attacks, slimes are nigh invincible. With increase resistance support magic, even if that magic couldn’t increase its weakness against impact, but the magic still can make slime to get stronger resistance against fire and ice. Because of that reasons, people who use slashing type and piercing type weapon would find slimes to be a difficult opponent to fight. No, rather than “difficult opponent” they are more like a nemesis instead.
“Thunder god-sama~, If you think you can’t go any further then please immediately call me okay~? I will quickly help you when you did. Hiroto-chan, is it alright for me to give a beating to it? That slime-chan of yours”
“It’s okay if you just give it one hit. Even if you hit it with a mace, it would probably still be alright even if it gets hit 2 or 3 times”
“E-either way why did you call it slime-chan……? Why did you give that kind of monster a pet name? I am having trouble understanding that……”
“Filianes-sama, it was of course because the slime was the important pet that Hiroto-chan had raised. The way Filianes-sama said it was the cruel one if I had to say”
“H-how could you…… Why did all of you give your support to that slime! How about you put yourself in my shoes?”
LOG
- 《Filianess》 is getting scared because of the slime……
- 《Filianess》 is getting weak in her knees.
O-okay…… even when they still haven’t do anything, Filianes-san had begun to tremble in fear. Her knees are just rubbing against each other like she is holding in her toilet need…… Just how bad her condition really is?
“H-hey listen…… Won’t it be better if we stop this now? Filianes-san’s face is totally blue now”
“D-don’t say such stupid thing…… A mere s-s-slime is…… not at all scary for me okay……!”
“Well said~. She still can put up a tough front like that, just what I expect from the great holy knight. I really respect Thunder god-sama in this aspect of hers”
“Mar-san, If you said too much spite like that, I won’t be responsible if you got punishment when you get back……”
“Thunder god-sama~ you can do it! I believe that you won’t lose!”
I can just smile wryly seeing how Mar-san changes her stance as easily as reversing one hand like that. Filianes-san timidly pulls out her rapier and faces my slime head on. My slime is also getting into her fighting pose with a jelly like voice coming from its body.
“Hii……!”
“Thunder god-sama that was a cute squeal…… Even I who heard it feel that my cheek are getting hotter~”
“Well, even if it was me who face that slime, I definitely would still scream once or twice…… That slime is just too big after all”
Reacting to a female saying ‘too big’ really is one pathetic nature of a man…… I suddenly had that enlightenment in this kind of situation. Anyway, I don’t want to make this harder for Filianes-san so let’s just start the mock battle immediately.
(We can only move forward anyway…… following this big wave!)
“Go Josephine! I choose you!”
(Eros: Pok*mon battle start!)
LOG
- 《Josephine》 is attacking!
“Kuh! Kkggh……!”
