Chapter 8: Betrayal
Returning to the nest, I went hunting again.
Of course, there is no reason to care about human beings. I might find useful information that I did not understand by just looking at once.
Therefore I followed the group which moved slowly in this way simply because I thought so.
Since there is no other party that has come close even a little like Slime A, I decided to go with the one with the most formal change, that is, the one with the highest level.
I do not intend to knock these slimes at the moment, but the more efficient you are, the more opponent you get when it happens.
Looking at the battle of the slime seen before and the feeling against the goblin, and I judged that there were no possibilities that I would lose even if I massacred the entire slime group because I decided to do so.
But, I am afraid that I can not do that because I’m aiming for the strongest guy.
Following a dull-witted march for a while top guys advance to jump suddenly. Apparently it seems that they have discovered the prey.
I have acquired the leapfrog skill, so I overtake others and catch up easily with the group battling. So I succeeded to put their pray in my sight.
Until now I was struggling to see it in the shadows even though Slimes hit humans who were their prey and got hit back. I still do not know if their power is enough to make a human their opponent, more than that I was not even prepared to fight against other human.
Fighting can kill you. So, I do not wanna do that as much as possible as a former human being.
But the situation continues betraying my expectation as if laughing at such an optimistic idea.
“Are you serious?……”
This time the prey, was not able to fight it’s opponents like before. On the contrary they were not even adult.
Young children were the prey of these slimes.
There were two children and both of them looked like girls.
Still one child had pretty blond hair on the left and right of her head if I said it in the
style of my former world, she was about a kindergarten student. Other child’s blond hair stretching out to her waist in the same way.
If I said they were young rather than small would be the right impression.
What is a child doing in such a forest? Both of them don’t want to come out from there, taking a look they were going to cry, it doesn’t change the fact that it is dangerous.
Because they had their eyes fixed on the slimes.
While I was thinking about such a thing, suddenly other slimes jump out of the bush and land to surround children incidently.
Because of the sudden arrival of slimes, the children’s faces distorted more and it seemed like they were about to burst into tears, it seemed that they could not mutter a word in fear. It is not possible to escape at this point either.
I jumped out the moment i saw it. It is decided, because there was no time to think.
“Wow!”
If I jump out with a momentum and my body enlargens, and i fall down as I am. It is the technique that beat the goblin a while ago.
However, this time, the effect of the newly obtained press attack increases the power and the movement of the body will flow smoothly. It goes without saying what will happen to slimes whose durability is inferior to the goblins.
Even the head of slimes stopped moving as I crushed the leading group that was about to attack and made them fall between the following group and the children. Though it was natural, the crushed slimes returned to being muddy liquid.
“You, what to do!?”
“Pe!”
One slime ignored that escaped from the press attack said so, and I spit poison towards his body.
Some slimes that touched poison had no time to retort, they melted into the muddy water and died without a doubt, several slimes who were around were also affected, they are going to meet the same ending.
Because I decided to do it, mercy and hesitation are nothing more than unnecessary things.
I did not earlier think about the possibility of emergency so early, but as things turned this way I decided to annihilate these guys.
Because in the first place I was dead in a way and did not reincarnate as a slime, if I leave such young children abruptly.
In that apparent hostile action other slimes recognized me as an enemy, there was no one to talk to me and I jumped over to them.
Since it was a separated group earlier, so this time they were numerous. Even if you estimate their number by deducting those who were knocked down earlier, their number was still 30. However there was was almost no damage when all of them jumped and came at me simultaneously, there was a slight feeling of being pushed back.
However, I am confident that I have over 2 times the skills, and I even defeated a goblin alone. More than anything I think I can not be frightened about what might happen to the children behind.
I will spit out the poison right away. This time, like before, I will not aim and spread it as much as possible.
As expected, the slime which even slightly touched the poison disintegrated its body like melting and dropped in the ground losing momentum. The effect was enormous, whether it was a difference in level, a race difference, or thanks to the power I gained by killing enemies so far.
The slime which fell into the ground does not move an inch. It is dead.
Of course, that alone will not be able to shoot down all the slime, and the remaining guys will carry out the body crush that is the only attack method.
I can become the Neo slime to avoid such attack, and, besides, it is easy to dodge such an attack for the present me with increased speed by a skill just a little. But I cannot do it now.
The situation where the children in the back were being protected meant that I could not move one step from this place.
I strech to my limit and become a wall, so that the damage doesn’t reach the children behind me in an unlikely event. My size surprisingly expanded to nearly ten times my normal size. This is perfect as a wall.
Since my body became larger as a matter of course their target became larger naturally, and the next moment I received body crash of 10 or more slimes.
However, although it can not helped anymore, it was annoying to get attacked, so the moment I was attacked, my mouth fully opened.
Suddenly, they could not avoid the large hole that appeared, and nearly half of the slimes jump right into my mouth. It is decided what should I do.
I close my mouth mercilessly and swallow them at once. The portion that hits a teeth does not exist in a slime. However it also seems that the upper and lower sides of the mouth become hard a little, then it seems slightly possible to bite a thing, but the power to the extent that it can crunch things does not come out.
Apparently slime is like a monster whose liquid barely holds its shape, it was so easy to drink as if I was drinking water.
I judged that it was the best to do it this way, but it seems that the number of the enemies reduced more than I thought.There are less than ten remaining.
But it was fortunate that they had performed the body crush on me but my body had little to no damage. The pain is only to the extant of getting stabbed by a needle. The difference in power was evident.
When I was trying to launch my next attack, suddenly the power was surging within me. The source of the power were the slimes whom I ate. It seems that i got more power having eaten.
Although I could not get it when I ate the goblin a while ago, I wondered what it was, but now is not the case when I can consider such things. It is a thing to think later.
Now that their number has dropped, there is nothing to fear.
I reduced their number one after another, without moving from the spot, making full use of poison breath, It was a coincidence or inevitability, that last one to remain at the end was blown away by the high level rushing away, and the game came to an unsatisfying end.
(Tln- not so sure about the last para)
