Bear-san Fight’s the Slime (1)

After moving Fina and the others to the basement of the bear house in Crimonia, I returned and climbed up on the barrier to look for Kagali-san.

Kagali-san was jumping around, guiding the Slime to stay away from the bear house.

The Slime spread over the town, and the center of the Slime was growing.

It was like a giant pudding, if I may use an analogy.

Could I just be honest and say it was a mountain?

A part of the Slime stretched out and tried to capture Kagali-san.

Kagali-san successfully dodges the Slime’s attack. She was able to avoid Slime’s attack and came to me.

“Kagali-san, are you okay?”

“I can easily avoid that thing. And the three of them?”

“I’ve moved them to a safe place.”

They were moved to the basement of the bear house in Crimonia, where the Slime would not attack them.

“I see. Then we can deal with the Slime in peace.”

Now that they were safe, I could deal with the Slime without any worries.

“Well then, let’s start looking for magical tools. I’ll search for the magic tools from above, and you can search around the perimeter without taking any risks.”

Kagali-san jumps away.

I moved around, using the buildings and the pillars I had created beforehand as footholds.

Without my bear gear, I would not be able to do this.

I looked down and found the ground teeming with Slime.

I didn’t know what would happen to me if I fell, even with my bear gear on.

Just the thought of the Slime crawling inside my hood made me shudder.

I definitely did not want to fall.

As I hop around like a rabbit, even though I’m a bear, a part of the Slime reaches out like an outstretched arms and attacks me.

As I jumped around, I avoided the Slime’s attacks and used wind magic to retaliate.

The parts of the Slime that were cut off fell down like water.

It doesn’t pose much of a threat when detached from the main body.

However, it seems that the Slime could not be damaged even if it was cut off.

While going around the Slime’s pudding pile, I searched for something resembling a magic tool.

At least, I wish I knew what it looked like.

But there were only countless blue magic stones in the Slime.

“Hm?”

As I ran around the Slime, I spotted a square black object floating in its body, about the size of my fist.

Could that be the magic tool?

“Kagali-san!”

“Yuna!”

Kagali-san and I shouted each other’s names at the same time.

“There it is!”

“I found something that looks like that too!”

Kagali-san came over to me and looked at the square black thing.

“I knew it…”

“Knew what?”

“I knew when I got closer to the Slime that my ears sensed something here and there. I saw what looked like a magic tool when I got closer.”

“What do you mean by that?”

“That means there is more than one magic tool that could control the Slime.”

“But are you sure it was the black one?”

“I’m sure of it. I found one just like that one lying around in the basement. But when I found it, I only saw it as a box, so I thought it was optional. When I saw it in the Slime, I realized that the black square thing was the magic tool needed to control it.”

The basement was also a laboratory, and they had made many containers to draw formulas that would prevent it from being dissolved inside the Slime’s body.

“Then that means there is more than one of those magic tools…”

“Well, we’ll have to destroy them all, won’t we?”

“How many are there?”

I asked, and Kagali-san’s ears twitched.

“I don’t know exactly how many there are, but I’m sure there are a lot.”

It was a huge slime. It would be a challenge to find all of them.

If Kagali-san could find them, it would be a good start.

“Well, for now, let’s attack.”

Kagali-san sends a ball of flame toward the black magic tool inside the Slime.

The moment it entered the Slime’s body, it disappeared like a fire in water.

“As I thought, no good. If the Slime was normal, I could break through it with this.”

“It’s like water, so maybe fire won’t work.”

“Then what is effective against water?”

In games, it would be standard that the water (blue) attribute would be weak against the green attribute. Green could be wind or wood, depending on the game. Of course, the weak points vary from game to game, and sometimes even in real life.

Also, electric shocks work as well.

“Wind magic?”

At any rate, we’ll have to find a weak point.

Kagali-san shoots wind magic, but it was stopped in the middle of the Slime’s body and turned into a bubble.

The power of the wind weakened, and it did not reach the magical tool.

“As I thought, the power of my magic has decreased. If I had my true power…”

Even if she had her true power, it might still be difficult.

“I’ll try it this time, Kagali-san. Distract the Slime.”

While keeping my distance, I magically create a clump of dirt the size of a soccer ball and shoot it at the Slime.

Once inside the Slime, the lump of dirt loses its momentum as if caught by a cushion and stops inside the Slime’s body.

It is as if the water has killed the momentum.

And then, the clumps of soil slowly dissolve and disappear.

“Why did that dissolve? It’s not dissolving the buildings.”

“Maybe it’s because it absorbed the magic power used to create it, or maybe the Slime feeds on magic power.”

“But the pillars I made…”

“Look, they are slowly melting away.”

I looked at the place where Kagali-San’s gaze was directed and saw that a part of the pillar I had magically made had melted.

So I was throwing food into it?

I tried several times to release earth magic, but the result was the same.

“This may not be so easy.”

Kagali-San looked at the Slime as she expressed her opinion.

As with anything, every creature should have a weak point.

No monster could withstand all the attributes.

There could be enemies that physical attacks would be effective, enemies that magic attacks would be effective, enemies that attribute attacks such as fire, water, earth, and wind would be effective, etc.

Even in a last boss, there would be a way to attack it.

So, there must be a way to defeat the Slime. I guarantee it.

“How about this??”

If it were bear magic, it wouldn’t melt so easily.

I imagine a bear and create it with earth magic.

“Go, bear!”

When the bear created with earth magic entered the Slime, it changed direction in an arc and was ejected out of the Slime as if spewing something unpleasant.

The ejected bear flew in a parabolic arc, hitting the building and collapsing.

“Wait.”

“It seems that it didn’t like it.”

It was not a matter of liking or disliking, though.

Next, I tried using the wind magic that Kagali-san had tested.

However, the air bullet stopped inside the Slime’s body, then rose up like a water bubble and exited the Slime’s body.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

It sent a blade of wind that looked like a bear’s claw flying. Unlike Kagali-san’s wind magic, it did not disappear as a bubble of air but was thrown out of the Slime’s body.

Wind magic would be like air bubbles flying inside a body of water. In water, air would rise up due to buoyancy.

It was originally a dominant attribute, but it wasn’t a weakness for the Slime, which had a large body.

“Then how about fire bear magic!”

It wasn’t very effective against water, but the bear’s flames should be able to evaporate it.

Poor thing, but I would bring the Slime to a boil, like I did when I killed the Kraken.

I created a fire bear and shot it at the Slime.

When the fire bear entered Slime’s body, it was ejected just like the earth bear.

The building that the fire bear hit started to burn on impact.

Did it not really taste good for the Slime?

No one could retort that being burned from inside was way worse than tasting bad.

Next, I tried to manipulate the bear magic so that it would not spit out, but the deeper the clay bear went inside the Slime’s body, the more it became inoperable, and finally, it was spit out.

Was the Slime’s body interfering with the magic operation?

It would be absorbed with weak magic, and with strong magic, such as bear magic, it would be spat out.

Unlike the Black Viper and the Worm, being able to spit out impure matter from anywhere on the body might be troublesome.

Next, I tried ice magic, but part of the surface froze, and the ice bear could not move.

It was like it froze its surroundings and ended up stuck.

Even with bear magic, it was impossible to freeze the Slime deep enough to the center of its body.

“Then, I’ll use my secret technique, lightning magic.

I gathered an electric charge into my Bear puppet and formed it into the shape of a bear.

I then launched the bear lightning magic at the magic tool inside the Slime.

Lightning in the shape of a bear enters the Slime.

If the electric current reaches the magical tool, it should be able to destroy it.

However, the Bear Lightning was diffused like an electrical discharge and only traveled on the surface of the Slime. It did not reach the magical tool in the back.

“Ahaha.”

I started laughing.

This could be worse than I imagined.

I was high on the idea that if I had bear magic or lightning magic, I’d be able to get by.

I didn’t think it wouldn’t work.

I didn’t think it would be so troublesome when dealing with a huge Slime.

It was definitely nastier than the wyverns, black vipers, and Kraken, more so than any of the monsters we’ve fought so far.

Not only was it difficult to defeat, but it was impossible to even break the magic tool inside the Slime’s body.

A Slime may be the weakest when small, but it would be one of the strongest if it were larger.

It could change its body to suit its environment and thrive, so it could be the strongest creature.

I tried to shoot some lightning magic a few more times, but the charge did not reach the magic tool.
