Chapter 466 – #2-41 Crisis, Crisis, Crisis, Crisis, Crisis! (9)
Tuhak!
Tuhak! Tuhak!
Do-do-do-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo!!!!
『…!』
『…! …!!!!』
The sword falls down. A new sword is born. Fall off again
A barrage of light falling all at once.
Each beam of light shot like rain turned into a bomb and fell down, creating a terrifying shockwave that exploded and shattered the floor.
There was no way that the slime swamp, engulfed in such a torrent of light, would be fine.
The heat and shock, which would have evaporated and disappeared if it were just water, made the slime swamp with a high viscosity into a mess and steadily shaved the area.
The Slime Swamp tried to endure it by changing its own nature, but it was also useless.
Even if you increase the viscosity like a rock, it will surely break and explode.
Even if it turned into a soft fluid and tried to let the sword flow, it evaporated and disappeared as splashes of water splashed in the terrifying shockwave.
――Dangerous, dangerous, dangerous, dangerous!
――There is no longer any means to capture the magical girl. Every time the body is steadily shaved, the power to hold on to the magical girl also disappears!
Longing for a way
Urge the way
This slime is a slime that can learn, specially improved by the doctor.
With past experience and intuition transmitted from instinct, somehow, somehow, somehow, somehow…!
“Blue woo woo woo!”
Shhhhh!!!
“Ugh…! Kaheuk…!”
The moment the sword’s barrage subsided slightly, Erga, who spread his wings made of light, flew in swiftly like a swallow.
Before the tattered water surface of the slime swamp returns to its original place, it hugs the blue magical girl in the restraints with holes here and there and glides straight up.
『――――!!!!!!!!!!』
Slime was furious.
It wasn’t enough that he made such a disgrace to his body, and even the food he used to recover his body was taken away!
Perhaps Er’s magical energy was slowly running out, and the barrage of swords that seemed to never end was fading away.
Then it doesn’t matter.
Much of the body evaporated and disappeared, but that’s okay.
――Not yet, yet, yet, yet, yet, yet!
――Don’t miss it! Don’t miss it!!
Procrastination… Rung!!
Kuguaaaaa!
The enraged slime swamp gathered its tattered body as much as possible and bounced up while concentrating on one point.
To catch the magical girl flying to her ceiling, she lunges with her arms outstretched to catch him by the ankles and make him fall.
It is a blow with all one’s strength. Don’t miss
No matter how fast a magical girl can fly, this is a closed space.
If that’s the case, she can’t possibly miss anything…
“【Garden of white roses in full bloom】.”
Missed, work.
There can be… Can…
“【Frozen ground. Glacier of eternity. A prison of eternity.]”
“【You will be frozen.】
What caught the blue magical girl’s hand unknowingly was a large staff made of ice that she did not know when she took it out.
The tip of the staff was pointing at the flying slime swamp.
Sensing the magical energy at the tip, the slime was able to intuit immediately.
Should not touch
Should not approach
But… It’s already irreversible.
The flying body can no longer be pushed back.
Judge that, and measure it with all the accumulated knowledge and experience you have.
And the tip of the slime that I gave up finally couldn’t overcome her momentum and touched the magical girl’s staff.
“――【V, Wintrum Prosterom】”
At the same time.
Just like timing her, the magical girl’s incantation ends.
Blah…
So, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so, so!!!
And what followed was only one moment.
In just one moment, the swamp of slime that was aiming for the magical girl soaring through the sky, and the tattered slime fluid that touched her magical girl.
――In an instant, it froze.
* * *
Whoa… Whoa…
Fluff, flop!
“Haa… Haa… Haa…”
“Hee-eok… Hee-euk… Whoa…!”
She was deprived of her mana by the slime, and in such a situation, she even used the anti-magic that used a large amount of mana unreasonably.
Thanks to this, a tremendous amount of fatigue and exhaustion came over them, and both Blue Sapphire and Er were exhausted and collapsed on the floor.
In the middle of the large dimly lit room, slimes were covered with ice that would neither break nor melt, just as the slimes rose as if reaching upwards.
The rough and bumpy frozen figure seemed to look like a large rose in a way.
“Ha ha… Uh… Uh… Are you okay…? Blue…?”
“Uh… Uh… Uh…”
Both Blue Sapphire and Er were breathing heavily. Her head was rumbling and it seemed like her whole stomach was about to turn inside out.
The brain, which had been trampled on just a moment ago, and Jill, which had been suddenly released, couldn’t adapt.
It will take some time.
“Joe, I want to… Rest for a bit…”
Bean…
Blue Sapphire rubbed her head on the floor as if to curl up.
The head that was raped by the slime, and the unfamiliar sensation of the ovary, which still feels like a foreign body, seem to rip through the whole mind…
‘…I think there’s a bit… Left in the womb… It’s like debris…’
It’s troubling because the remaining slime still has its own self and seems to flutter around in the womb.
Are you okay?
I do not know.
But if it’s a slime made of aphrodisiac, it’s probably absorbed by the body… Because the magical girl’s function sometimes removes foreign substances at once… It’s okay…
“Blue, blue.”
“Why, hey, hey… Er… I’m having a hard time…”
“You idiot, wake up. Do you know what we did?”
“Uuuuu~!”
Blue Sapphire groaned. Certainly, Er is right.
――’There is equipment that detects magical powers in this facility…’
Records left behind by Clara. The records clearly said that there is a device that detects magical powers, so be careful.
To that end, didn’t Er come with all of his useful skills set to 〈OFF〉?
“You have to move quickly.”
“Is that so… Is Er okay?”
“My head is spinning, my body is limp, and my mana is sucked up, so it feels empty. It feels like my limbs are constantly swaying and staggering like jellyfish.”
So, that is.
“It is in the best condition. It’s really great.”
“Kiki Kiki Kick…!”
Was it because the shock of the slime was great or was it simply because of exhaustion? There are nonsensical jokes that are difficult to understand, and nonsensical laughter leaks out without my knowledge.
Ha…
“”Let’s move.””
The two of them worked together and staggered to their feet and went to the exit of the room.
In the dark and damp room, only the slime that froze and became a huge piece of ice was left behind.
* * *
Stagger…
Again… Again…
“Wow…”
The two magical girls supported each other and staggered out of the room.
Inside, it felt like it was filled with a strange feeling of blue fog, and other than that, it was connected to a desolate steel wall and corridor that you would only see in a sci-fi movie.
I have no sense
I don’t feel energetic.
It feels like the interior of a meticulous man who only knows his business, having removed all unnecessary things.
…, I thought at first.
However, if you go a little further, you will see lines of light here and there, or something that emits a warm glow that you sometimes see, like an unknown ore.
A space like a huge circular spiral staircase that opens up and down from the other side of the passage.
Like a labyrinth of complicated frozen and shaggy pipes.
The two people, who have lived purely on Earth and are accustomed to Earth’s civilization, marvel over and over again at a sight that goes beyond common sense like a star world.
Going a little further, kurrrr…! And a ringing sound was heard.
As I carefully followed the sound, a beautiful stream of water was falling from the passage above into the puddle-like space below.
“…A waterfall.”
“Wow…”
Around the pool looking down, multi-colored ores were lined up, giving it a very mystical feeling.
How was it possible to create such a landscape on an artificial island floating on the sea?
Or is this also made for some purpose?
“…But it’s not slime again, right?”
“Do you think you’re okay? Should I just turn on 〈 Intuition 〉?”
“No, more than that… This water is a bit strange.”
Blue glared at the waterfall curiously, then slowly descended the nearby spiral staircase.
It seemed that there was also a device like an elevator, but I couldn’t figure out how to operate it, and I couldn’t bear to use it because I was scared for some reason.
It was annoying to walk in the middle, so I just flew down.
There was no point in using the skill 〈OFF〉 anymore.
‘I’m sure they were all caught anyway.’
Two people landed in the lower passage, near a pool.
The water stream is actually small enough to fit into a valley rather than a waterfall.
But for some reason, the sparkling water looked so clear and beautiful that it caught my attention regardless of its scale or size.
Blue Sapphire knelt in front of the pool and scooped up the clear water with his hands.
And put it in my mouth
…Also!
“Er… This, it contains magical power…”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yes. Is it conserving magic in this way…? The water is also delicious and sweet.”
“Um… Gulp… Whoa… It’s true. I can feel my mana recovering… It’s not as good as drinking it, but even if I just dip my hand in it, it will recover.”
In terms of an RPG game, it feels like 〈 Fountain of Recovery 〉.
Minerals embedded in the surroundings. Upon closer inspection, these were magic stones that stored mana.
In the current situation, where the magic attribute is almost gone and exhausted, these are quite welcome.
But…
“Hey, Er. I have something on my mind, but is it okay if I tell you?”
“Tell me.”
“Magic power is the most important factor for [Mekrak], Right?”
“Right.”
“And here is a pool of water where mana is refined.”
“Right.”
“That means, this place is very important?”
“…That’s how it will be.”
Just in time, it sounded like footsteps were coming from far away.
I didn’t know until I came down, but this space had a lot of aisles. It felt as if all the passageways stretching here and there, like ant nests, were all heading towards this place.
Tumble, tumble, tumble, tumble.
Sasak, sasak, sasak, sasak.
I’m going to go to the middle of the day…
『Grrrrencing…!」
『Chururruk… Churruk…!』
And in each of those passages, different footsteps, sometimes like the cry of an animal, resonated.
Blue Sapphire was aware of that fact, and now she was dumbfounded and even burst into laughter.
“Hey Er. Is this like the center of a fortress?”
“I don’t know what happened… But we seem to have become X’s, right? Is that so?”
As if agreeing with Er’s reply that it was absurd.
Here and there in the aisle, modified monsters modified by the doctor, and a variety of chimeras and monsters appeared as they poked their heads out from each aisle.
Another danger that came to the magical girls.
The power that the doctor picked out and sent purely to test the magical girls and to test the created works was now surrounding the two magical girls in all directions.
“I’m screwed… Really… I’m big…”
Blue Sapphire, who never lost her positive mind under any circumstances, muttered as if she were crying.
