Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 90

I Had A Bad Feeling

And so the slimes started to unite and retreat.

And so the slimes started to unite and retreat.

I didn’t know how the enemy would react, but it would be easier to protect the slimes if there were fewer of them.

After that was done, I observed the enemy through the remaining slimes.

“It’s a disaster! The strategy room is empty!”

“What!?”

“Over here as well! The second storage room has been wiped clean!”

“Someone else might know what is going on. Call them all back!”

“Yes!”

So saying, the man began to operate what looked like a magic stone.

He looked at it for a while…and then went pale.

“There is no magic energy detected!”

“No magic? …If I’m not wrong, those kinds of magic detection devices have a smaller range in the forest. Maybe that’s why?”

“That’s only if you are very far away! The cursed rough stones should not be far away enough for them to be affected by this distance!”

Apparently, the magic stone he was holding was a device used to detect magic signals from the others.

Of course, all the men who left the village had been promptly dealt with by my slimes, so it was no wonder they could not be detected.

…And by dealt with, I mean capture. Of course, they all killed themselves, one after another.

“Where were they attacked?”

“We can see as far as 500 meters around the village. But no attack has been confirmed within that perimeter. So it must have been outside…”

“You’re saying that they were all defeated outside of that area?”

So…what should I do?

Should I just shut them up with ice magic now?

No, if I was going to attack, I should just use Hellfire of Death and destroy the entire village at once.

But then I would have to get the slimes out first.

And that would take another 30 seconds.

“If the enemy bothered to attack so far from the village… It is very likely that they know about ‘the mechanism.'”

“What mechanism?”

“The ‘Flames that Purify All.’ It covers a range that is about 300 meters in diameter. And so they must have known to kill our men at a distance of 500 meters.”

…Apparently, the village had a way of detecting any deaths of their men. From what I understood, it reacted every time a member of the Blue Moon of Salvation was killed within 300 meters of the village.

It was a good thing I had waited for the slimes to escape…

‘We escaped!’

‘You can use Hellfire of Death now!’

The slimes said, once their evacuation was complete.

The only slime left in the village was the one who was listening to the enemy conversation.

As the other residents were all dead, it was not likely to be seen.

…Of course, there was still a possibility that there were others hiding in a hidden room.

“…But, wasn’t that supposed to be a top-secret…”

“We don’t know who the enemy is. We don’t know their numbers or if they are even human. We haven’t seen what they look like. …It was probably them that raided our storage.”

“So…What should we do?”

“A counter-attack. Look, you and I are the only members of Blue Moon of Salvation who are here. …Do you know what that means?”

The man said as he pulled out a knife and pointed it at his neck.

It looked like he was going to kill himself.

The other man nodded and also took out a knife.

The other man nodded and also took out a knife.

There was no point in trying to stop them.

I had tried to capture members of Blue Moon of Salvation many times. But I have never been able to prevent them from dying.

“To save this tarnished world!”

“To save this tarnished world!”

They both shouted before swinging their knives.

What I had to do was…

‘Slime. Get out of there! …I’m going to use an explosion!’

‘Okay!’

I said as I cast defense magic onto the slime. Then I transferred a magic explosion.

And then, without taking any damage, the slime flew into the air as it was carried by the shock waves.

‘Woah! I’m flying!’

This magic wouldn’t have worked on a human.

But it worked as a method of evacuation for slimes, as they were light and strong against physical attacks.

‘I love doing that!’

The slimes commented leisurely as they watched their friend flying.

They knew that it was fun because I had practiced doing it before.

I had thought that it would be good to have a way to move the slimes quickly even without the Proud Wolf.

Well, it drew attention and was difficult to control, so I wouldn’t be using it too often.

‘And now, the defense magic!’

There was no time to watch the flying slime.

I began to use defense magic with the MP I had saved from not using Hellfire of Death for a second time.

“Anti-physical Barrier, Anti-magic Barrier, Magic Reflect Barrier…”

I didn’t know what kind of magic they had set up here, but it sounded dangerous.

I could use the slime to put up multiple barriers that would withstand Hellfire of Death.

But still…I had a bad feeling about it.
