25 – Ancient Devil Slime

[Ancient Devil Slime.]

[Estimated grade: S+ grade.]

[Weakness attribute: Ice.]

[Habitat: Currently sealed in the Kafirka Ruins.]

In the detailed description, it was written that he was inevitably sealed because he continued to recover even after being attacked.

“I don’t doubt SS, but how do you plan to defeat him?”

A magical beast with super regenerative abilities. At first glance, it sounds difficult to get rid of, but in reality it is easy.

“If you attack enough to limit its resilience, that’s enough.”

“Yes, yes?!”

She stutters her words with a puzzled look on her face. It’s as if she never expected an answer like this. What answer did you think would come out?

“There is definitely a way to do that. It’s close to impossible. I thought you’d use the so-called heal ban magic to block recovery.”

There was such a way. It’s not like he didn’t think about it. I gave up because I couldn’t learn the heal ban skill because my magic talent level was low.

When I didn’t say anything, she shook her head and corrected what she had just said.

“No. I was short-tempered. Well, if that method worked, you would have used it a long time ago. There must be something I don’t know about, right?”

No. It’s because I’m not good enough to learn that magic.

“SS-sama. You’re going to think and judge yourself, but you’re presumptuous…”

“No.”

After skimming the information about the beast, I looked at the information about the ruins and the surrounding Lana village.

Lana Village.

It says that it is a village equipped with its own armed forces against slimes.

“You’ll have to be especially careful this time. The villagers are all hostile to wizards. It is recommended that you hide your identity as a wizard.”

Reminds me of the author’s TMI about Ancient Devil Slime. A black magician summoned him to the ruins and was eaten because he couldn’t handle it.

After that, the Witch Beast Association dispatched wizards, but only sealed them. That’s about 22 years ago at this point. Currently, the seal is about to be released, but repair work is not being done. I can’t do it, but I guess you’re right.

Unfortunately, the Witchbeast Association is always suffering from a shortage of manpower. It is said that the only S-rank wizard left in the association is the president of the association, who is old enough to retire.

Well, a person of the level of an S-class wizard would either set up a guild on his own or live while receiving treatment from a large guild, or stick to an association that pays little money.

“You’ve arrived. We always support you, Mr. SS!”

“Yes.”

I landed in a forest far from the village. If you get off in front of the village, it’s a perfect situation to get hit.

I don’t know the exact location of the ruins because they weren’t explained properly during the work. I thought it would be in the document given by the Witchbeast Association, but it’s been more than 20 years, so it’s not there.

I can’t do anything. He had no choice but to hide that he was a wizard and gather information from the villagers.

There is a sign like this in front of the forest.

[Danger! This is a forest full of slimes.]

I was going to use speed magic, but I decided to conserve my strength as much as possible since I would have to deal with the ancient devil slime soon.

It was when I walked for about 10 minutes while feeling nature.

Basrock!

A slime appeared with the sound of shaking grass.

“Oh.”

Class C white slime.

The size is small, about the size of a stray cat. It looked as if the white thing was moving.

‘Eh, he’s so cute, isn’t he?’

Still, a demon is a demon. Have to deal with

It was time to put my hand on the scabbard to pull out the knife.

Shuuuk! Pop!

Something flew around the slime. What is that bomb? The sound exploded like a firecracker, and ice cubes appeared and froze the slime.

Is it an ice priest bomb? Well done. He turned his gaze toward the bomber.

[Eye of the sky has been activated.]

In the distance, a woman was aiming her gun at slime. Soon the bullet hit the frozen slime. The guy turned to ashes and disappeared.

“Baby. You almost got into trouble. You thought the slime was cute, so you were just staring at it? If you went a little closer, it would have stuck to her face and ripped her skin apart.”

That’s what weak people get. Anyway, I looked at the woman who claimed to be in trouble. Some muscles attached to her black bobbed hair. She appears to be in her early 30s.

Looking at the well-armed slime catcher, it must be a resident of Lana Village.

“Thank you anyway.”

“Thank you, it’s been a while since an outsider came to this forest. Who are you?”

Am I going to find out right away that I’m a wizard?

“Hmm… I don’t think he’s a wizard, judging from the sword he’s holding.”

Real. Where is the wizard with the sword? Thanks to that, it was not difficult to hide his identity.

“I am an adventurer. I was on my way to the ruins of Caparta.”

“What? Why are you there? You don’t even know how precious this little guy’s life is.”

Are you going to knock down the sealed slime there? If you do, you’ll look like a madman. Let the conversation flow naturally.

“I came with a request. They asked me to find records with historical value in the ruins.”

“Huh. Do you know what kind of place it is?”

I know where you are. It’s because I don’t know the location. An additional effect of the sky’s eye, the clairvoyant does not have the ability to see through objects. Therefore, in a forest like this, it is as good as being sealed.

“Looking at the tails, it seems like they were asked to give expensive money. That’s why the younger ones…”

“Just tell me the location of the ruins. I won’t be going to the village.”

“To tell me the location of the ruins. You really don’t know anything? I just told you, if you go and die…”

Her speech trails off.

“Come to our village first. Let’s talk about it in more detail there. Entrusting a request to a place like this. I want to see what kind of person he is.”

“…”

It seems like things are going awry, but it must be because of my mood. Think ahead of time about what to say.

I know that the ancient slime is sealed. Even so, I received the request… Roughly, let’s say it was because of the money. It is the most common reason and the most sympathetic reason.

So we passed through the slime forest and arrived at Lana Village. The villagers were wary of me even as they welcomed the woman next to them.

“Uh. My sister said she’s going slime hunting…”

“Who is the person next to you? Yewon.”

The number of people seems small, but each one is armed with guns and bombs.

“Things got a little complicated, Dad.”

“Well, my daughter is now of the right age for marriage.”

“It’s not like that.”

She handed the spoils of slime to her father, trying to cut her off as if she didn’t want to talk further. Her pockets looked thick, as if she had caught quite a few.

“I’m going to have a drink soon. Don’t look for me.”

“Anyway, it’s an after-party drink after slime hunting. Drink in moderation.”

He passed his father’s nagging through his nose and looked at me.

“Come with me too.”

***

This is a story 22 years ago, when I was 12 years old. That day, I lost my one and only brother to Slime. Even if you don’t want to remember it, it always comes to mind when you catch the slime.

“Hey sister! Where did you get a guy like this?”

This is the daughter of a chicken bar owner. She is a child whom she has become as close to as her biological brother at some point.

“Be noisy and get me a drink. I have a lot to say with this person. Are you hungry too? Order me something to eat. I’ll buy it for you.”

“…Is this the older sister?”

“I’m not the kind of person you think I am.”

On the other hand, looking at him next to me, he calmly asked me this question as if he had experienced this kind of thing often.

“What’s delicious here?”

“The Magical Fried Chicken is especially delicious.”

“Then give me chicken afterward.”

Eolssigu. Anyone who sees it will know that I am a guest.

“Two bottles of alcohol and fried chicken! I’ll prepare it right away…”

“No. I’m underage. Coke please.”

No, what is it? I knew he was a young guy. That he was underage?

“That. Hey sister. No matter how urgent it is… This is a crime.”

“Didn’t I say it’s not what you think it is?”

We sat down at a table. First she gives her a drink and a cola. I immediately gulped down the drink.

“So. Let’s repeat what we said earlier. Do you know what is sealed in the ruins?”

“Ancient Devil Slime. In addition, there are signs that the seal is about to break.”

You know better than you think. But when I asked him why he came here, he got an unexpected answer.

“Money. What.”

“…”

He came here carrying a sword at the age of school carrying other people’s school bags to solve an expensive request. His goal is money. His home environment was inferred without asking.

“You. Do you have any skills? It looks like you can’t use magic.”

“It is enough to just explore the ruins and get out. Please let me know. The location of the ruins.”

Tak!

Then the daughter of the chicken house put her chicken on the table.

“I’m sorry I overheard, but what a dangerous place that ruin is. No way!”

“For some reason, I have the same idea. It’s a pity, but kid. I have no intention of telling you the location. In the first place, the damned black magician set a trap, so unless you’re a wizard, you can’t even enter.”

When I was little, my older brother also held a sword like him. As in the past and now, the practice of carrying a weapon at a young age does not go away.

“If you’re here, go and eat chicken.”

“…”

He didn’t say anything as if he was thinking about something, but then he ate the chicken. As if it suits his taste, his eyes widen very roundly.

“Yes, it looks good. As expected, at your age, chicken suits you better than knives.”

After eating a few pieces, he said something out of the blue.

“Do you know SS?”

“SS…? You mean the S-class mage that appeared recently?”

I don’t like wizards, but I’m always checking the flow of the world. Unusually, I remembered it by writing my initials.

But why are you suddenly saying this? Since you’re going to become such a great person, do you have to tell me the location of the historical site? It was when he pulled something out of his pocket.

“Sister! Slimes have invaded the village!”
