Chapter 90

The Trump Card

“That lizard… It seems it was able to bite me…” said the slime, with muffled anger in its voice .

While running to the Black lizard side, I check the Slime’s status .

Name: Forte Slime

Status: Alpha Poison

Ｎ曚　：27/35

隆モ゜：144/148

玄d　：24/67

All right, he has been poisoned .

The extraordinarily fast HP recovery rate has become slower .

After I get black lizard away from the fight, I’ll finish him off .

Hearing my call, the Black Lizard starts to escape .

“I won’t let you run!! [Clay] [Slow]” [クレイ] (T . L . No idea)

A beam of Purple and Yellow light sprung towards the Lizard .

Although the purple light was slow, the yellow light was fast .

Perhaps because of the damage sustained earlier, the Black Lizard was limping and struggling to move at full speed .

Because of that, the yellow light could get up to the Black Lizard .

At that moment, the yellow light redirected itself to the Black Lizards’s legs .

The ground which was hit by the light started to glow . It started to twist and change, producing spikes .

Though the Black lizard managed to not get impaled, she still needed to bounce backwards in order to avoid it .

Then the purple light hit her back .

That was the magic which that annoying tortoise used against me, the magic which lowers your agility .

The Slime charged at the Black Lizard, which was slowed considerably by the spell .

I quickly slipped in between the Slime and Black Lizard . With my claw, I slashed the

Slimes’s body diagonally from shoulder to stomach

The slime, unaffected by my attack, grabbed the Black Lizard’s body with his tounge .

I immediately tried to cut the extended tounge with my claws . As I attempted that, black mist was released from the Slime’s mouth and enveloped the surrounding area in darkness .

There was no resistance – it seems my claws cut through the air .

“Gurugaa… . ”

Relying on intuition and senses unimpaired by the smoke, I swung my claws around .

I want to use my breath attack, but the fact that I don’t know that the Lizard is safe prevents me from goping all out . I might kill her by accident .

…

What?

Is he actually not going for the kill?

Does this fog have the ability to obfuscate my [Sence Presence]?

I stopped attacking, and focused on sharpening my senses .

When the black fog started to thin, I could grasp the position of the slime .

“Gurugaaaa”

I charged to the place where the slime’s presence was, and thrust my claws forward .

When I hit it, my claw was repelled .

[Tortoise carapace] again, huh?

When the black fog dissipated completely, I finally saw the Slime’s form clearly .

The slime body looked more angulated compared to before, and he became more transparent, loosing his green color .

The slime was only subtly shaking without moving .

I don’t know which skill he used, most likely its a skill which increases defense while abandoning movement speed .

The slime’s body look hardened . The Black lizard can be seen inside the middle part of his lower body, which looks like a spider now .

Looking at her status, Black lizard’s HP and MP is steadily decreasing . It is using [Health Drain] and [Mana Drain]!

[Gurugaaaa—tsu]

I roared and hit the Slime’s body with my claw

The wound was too shallow, the damage dealt – too low .

“Calm down! Certainly his defense has increased, however, the hardened part now looks deformed, perhaps he can be damaged because of that . ”

He doesn’t seem to have any trick to minimize the damage he receives right now, apart from his absurd defense .

[Nutcracker] is the strongest attack skill I have right now . The drawback is that it might also damage the Black Lizard .

I kicked the ground and flew with my wings to the top of the nearby tree .

Firmly aiming at the Slime’s neck, I leaped .

The sound of falling trees can be heard from behind .

Using the momentum, I put my weight on my claw .

The moment it hit Slime’s neck, my claws made soundsof breaking .

I passed the slime and landed nearby .

My claw is broken, the broken piece stuck deep in the ground

And the Slime’s head – which I severed – lies beside it

The hard body, that is the body from the neck and below, lost its form and dissolved .

I quickly turned back, thrust my hand into the slime’s body and took the Black lizard out of it

The moment I thought I had safely rescued Black lizard, the Slime’s dissolved body started to form spikes and attack me .

Although I got stabbed in many places, while holding Black Lizard, I managed to outrun it to the top of the tree .

That guy, using that cheap attack, he managed to penetrate some of my scales .

[Armor piercing] skill huh ?

Really, what a nasty guy .

“Ki—shi—“

The Black lizard looks so weak .

Looking at her status, her HP is really low .

I look to the distance and let out a small “gaa” .

The Black lizard looked at me with a mortified face, convinced that she will only be a hindrance in her current condition, she jumped to the back and used [roll] to get away from the Slime as far and fast as possible .

The Slime’s body transformed again .

He retracted the spikes and grew a top human half on top of a wolf’s body, resembling a centaur .

Although the human body still maintain its earlier androgynous traits, on its forehead, a third eye was present .

Perhaps its supposed to be the wolf’s eye, it’s similar to the appearance of the Mahaa Wolves .

“Iyaa…, that was dangerous . I was surprised a bit . I should be more cautious when fighting against an opponent which has special skills I don’t recognize . I never thought there is such a dangerous ability . However, I don’t need to worry anymore . ”

He closed his eyes, shook his small head to the right and left, then he look at me . Having a bad feeling, I checked his status .

Name：Forte Slime

Status：None

(Jumbled)：27/35

Health：148/148

(Jumbled)　：67/67

How has he recovered against the Black Lizard’s poison!?

For a brief moment, I unintetionally looked at the direction where Black lizard has escaped .

At this rate, it will be impossible to beat this Slime .

It might be necessary to call the Black Lizard for help again .

“Oi oi, Why don’t you look more carefully? Information is life you know?”

Whether he said it to annoy me or without a reason at all, I don’t know .

It doesn’t hurt me to do that, though .

To find out what he is hinting at, I check the Slime’s skill list .

There is a new skill in the Slime’s skill set .

There is no mistaking it – that skill is the Black Lizard’s [Detoxification] .

When the Black lizard was captured, he must have copied her skill, and now he can detoxify himself on his own .

Now, even the special poison won’t work against this damned Slime!

Prisoner 001 has escaped! I repeat, Prisoner 001 has escaped! This is not a drill -I repeat, this is not a drill! All posts are ordered to go on high alert . The Prisoner must be brought back into informational confinement!

If he escapes… there will be reprecussions for all of you . For all of *us* .

To work, wardens! Do not fail us! The fate of this sector rests in your ability to find and restrain this criminal!
