My Villains Episode 038

10. After the 4th basement floor (3)

is over.

Mr. Luke, who was holding a long quarter staff, stretched out his wrinkled hand in front of a pile of rat men.

“Vernut’sya vel pyl’……

Ashen magic radiated from Mr. Luke’s hand with a low incantation.

Tsutsutsu.

Like a flashlight whose batteries are running out, the gray magic began to flicker dimly and gnaw at the bodies of the ratmen. It was ‘Touch of Decadence’, a rank 1 spell of annihilation magic.

It was a powerful spell that rots and disintegrates anything that touches the light, but in the game, the range was too short, so it was a skill that was discarded after the very beginning.

It was only in the game, anyway, that the real Luke radiating gray magic felt quite meaningful.

Is it because of the fact that he volunteered to be a funeral director? Or was it because it was so strange that a necromancer would destroy a corpse?

Unlike me, who silently watched the rat men’s corpses slowly disappear, Ellen, who was standing next to me, pursed her lips and grunted.

“How long do you have to wait? Wasting so much time at a ratman funeral.”

Saying that, Ellen looked sideways at me.

He pretended to be talking to himself, but he looked like he wanted me to answer. Well, since he’s a guy who chews on everything other people say, he must have said it to me.

I also wanted to chew on it sweetly, but I remembered Mr. Luke’s advice to treat him kindly, so I reluctantly opened my mouth.

“If you leave the corpses as they are, other monsters might eat them and fill their stomachs. There’s nothing wrong with getting rid of it.”

“Ha, does that look like it will rot and disappear?”

“…then?”

“It is impossible to completely get rid of something. Does it seem to disappear? In fact, it is only divided into small enough to be invisible and scattered.”

…The guy who always talks nonsense about balance and contemplation talks about the law of conservation of mass.

But is it okay to say something like that about a wizard? Isn’t it magic to create something out of nothing?

Even as I thought so, Ellen continued.

“Eventually those corpses will become food and feed the little creatures. The ratmen will eat the creatures again to lay off their babies, and then things will go back to the beginning.”

“Well, that will happen after a couple of months. But should we care about that?”

“…You mean it’s effective in the short term? Heung, if that’s the case, I’d rather kill the other ratmen at a time like this.”

“Don’t think too complicatedly, let’s just say that we have something to look at while taking a break. It’s amazing.”

Still not convinced, Ellen continued to grumble.

After finishing his work, Mr. Luke turned around and smiled broadly when he saw Ellen.

“Sorry to keep you waiting Miss Ellen. I tried to get over it, but there were so many corpses that I couldn’t bear to pass by.”

“Don’t talk to me, grandpa. Upset.”

…To those who don’t know, it’ll look like wizard-like arrogance, right?

But even when he was a wand pedestal, he wasn’t this cheap. He’s a very consistent guy.

I swallowed my irritation and reprimanded him in a low voice.

“Ellen. Didn’t you say that?”

“What am I? You didn’t say he was an old man who smelled like a corpse.”

“hey! you really- whoa I’m sorry, Mr. Luke.”

I apologized instead of Ellen and turned to Luke.

“It’s okay. Isn’t it true that the time was delayed because of me? I’m sorry everyone.”

It was a heck of a laugh.

I’m sure you’ve all heard people talk about the smell of corpses… Is it an old man’s leisure?

Looking at Mr. Luke’s face, I admired him because he didn’t pretend to be okay, but he really didn’t care. If it were me, I would have cut the top of my head with the stick I was holding.

Arnal, who was stretching on behalf of me who was at a loss for words with admiration, trembled.

“It’s okay, Grandpa. *sigh* Thanks to you, I had a good rest. I wish I was like this every time I meet a monster.” “Thank you for saying that.” Grania, who was sharpening a torch, shrugged her shoulders and expressed her concern.

“I’m worried about Mr. Luke. If you cast a spell in a place like this and you run out of mana to fight…” “

Don’t worry about that. The training I’ve accumulated up to this age isn’t completely in vain, and I have enough magic power.”

“If so, what?”

Of course, Middle World was not a world where ranks were divided by a difference of one or two years of age.

However, as in other human societies, this gray-haired old man like Mr. Luke became an object of respect.

Since he is an old man, of course, rather than respecting him, he thinks that he is a person with a special corner because he survived until he became an old man in this harsh world. This is probably the reason why the two mercenaries treat Luke well.

However, looking back, I don’t think it would have been much different if Mr. Luke had been a young man.

Who doesn’t like someone who casts mysterious and powerful spells but is always humble and kind? If there is someone you don’t like, that’s stupid—

“You’re a bad old man.”

…Here you are, that asshole.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“…no.”

“No, what isn’t it? What?”

I sighed as I looked at Ellen, who was crumpling her white forehead.

Was the 4th floor of the sewer used to be the domain of ratmen?

After dealing with a group of close to fifty ratmen, there were almost no monsters.

They searched the area for more than two hours, but no monsters were found.

Just as the tension gradually eased, I was attacked unexpectedly.

Something fell from the ceiling without any warning.

My mind didn’t react at all.

Excited!

Is it because of the agility that reaches 20 points? Phoenix’s body succeeded in reacting instinctively. He swung the torch he was holding and struck an unidentified enemy.

“Billion what?”

As I looked back at the unidentified enemy as the flagship, it bounced off and clung to the wall, slightly shriveled by the heat.

Then it began to wriggle and crawl towards Ellen.

Procrastinate, procrastinate.

“What is that?”

It was dissolving the corpse of something in a gooey slime.

It shrunk to the size of a head, then stretched to a size larger than a calf, crawling up the wall at high speed.

A monster in the form of a black shiny jelly-like creature—

it was disgusting enough to make you vomit.

“All be careful! Slime!”

The identity of the enemy who attacked us at Luke’s cry was a slime.

It used its unique adsorption power to hide on the ceiling, and then attacked me aiming for me passing under it.

Ellen was walking absentmindedly when she saw a monster attacking her. The guy calmly recited the incantation –

“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”

-I wished for it, but all I could do was scream out loud at the creepy shape of the slime.

“It’s a slime! Shoot the flaming arrows!”

“Heh o 三 o ah”

– —9 —– I .

As if she couldn’t hear my voice, Ellen’s face turned white, and she didn’t react.

Damn I think I’m in a panic.

“Uh crazy!”

Tung!

Arnal gritted his teeth and shot an arrow quickly, but

damn slime said physical attacks didn’t work!

Indeed, the man hit by the arrow was just wriggling with the arrow attached as if there was no damage.

No, it wasn’t that there was no hit, but rather the arrow was melting in an instant.

Ugh, fear doesn’t work on slime, so Luke’s spells are useless. It’s easiest to deal with attribute magic, but Ellen has to do that…

“What Grania?”

As I ran to Ellen, remembering the guy’s strategy, I screamed in astonishment.

It was because Grania, who was last in the group, jumped out from behind Ellen and attacked Slime.

“No danger-”

Before I could stop him with Grania, the slime rushing towards Ellen jumped up like a rubber ball bouncing when it found a creature approaching it.

w O u”

—人、.

Grania seemed surprised by the slime’s sudden leap, but fortunately, she raised her shield following her instincts.

As the spread slime embraced the shield and clung to it, Grania quickly threw away the shield and retreated.

purr. The slime made a strange noise and started spraying acid in all directions while shaking its body.

“Damn it,” she

quickly turned her head and backed off, so she didn’t get a face, but Grania’s armor was melting while emitting white smoke.

The left arm, which had been splashed with a particularly large amount of acid, had melted down to the leather and was bubbling to the skin.

“Turn it off!”

“Grania!”

Arnal and I started throwing torches and shooting arrows to attract the slime’s attention.

In the meantime, Mr. Luke, who had thrown away the pole, succeeded in grabbing Grania, who was groaning in pain, and hurriedly dragging her back.

As the slime, which spat out the half-melted shield, staggered towards me again, I gritted my teeth and pulled out the pulse.

At that time, Mr. Luke, who had evacuated Grania, stepped forward again.

“Dusha plot’ plamya!” Blue flames soared above Luke’s head at the three powerful words. The goblin fire, which shimmered in the air, attacked the slime following Mr. Luke’s gesture. The

goblin

fire, with its long tail, wrapped around the body of the slime with a holo-long sound, and it began to twist the body and turn the inside and outside.

purr.

It is to resist the demonic fire by hiding the dried and burned side inside and sending the wet side to the outside.

Contrary to the appearance of burning blue like a gas fire, the heat emitted by the demon fire was not very strong.

Mr. Luke summoned more goblin fire, but it didn’t seem like he could kill the slime.

By the time I blocked the slime with a torch and stood in front of Ellen, he was also calming his surprise and aiming his crossbow.

“Flame Arrow! Shoot the flaming arrows!”

“Huh huh. No, that’s not enough.”

“What are you talking about? Are you lacking?”

“Slime’s weakness is fire, but *heuuu* it’s not even possible to say that it’s quite hot when it’s that size. With only flaming arrows.”

As he said that, he groped inside the sling bag, and I noticed his intentions and quickly grabbed the crossbow.

“I’ll do it, you memorize the spell!”

“But-”

“Quickly!”

I skillfully searched through the sling bag and took out a bottle with red aura.

“Influ-unt flammae.”

Right before the spell was completed, I aimed the slime with a Molotov cocktail on my crossbow. I narrowed my shoulders as much as possible, fixed the handle, put my hand on the trigger, and waited for his order.

“satus!”

Just as the slime, which had swallowed the demon’s fire before he knew it, was about to leap towards Mr. Luke, the flaming arrow from Ellen’s fingertips pierced him in an instant.

As soon as it burst into flames, I quickly pulled a protest.

Tung.

The fired Molotov cocktail landed exactly in the center of the slime. By the way…

it’s watery.

“uh?”

“…Hey you idiot! what are you doing!”

Buried in the slime body of the crazy slime, the bottle didn’t break!

Kim Seung-soo, you idiot! You should have shot it at the nearby floor to break it, or set it on fire and shot it!

I’m going to have a good time. Enveloped by the fading flames, the slime twisted ferociously and pounced on us.

Then a sharp shout was heard.

“Back off!”

It was Arnal who shouted.

She drew her bowstring with her eyes bloodshot, and after a brief silence, she fired an arrow. An arrow with an exquisite trajectory is not enough to pierce the slime.

Brilliant.

It hit and shattered the Molotov cocktail covered in slime!

The distance wasn’t too far, but to hit the erratically moving slime accurately. Aren’t you usually good at it?

Anyway, as a result, flame flower oil mixed with sugar etc. burst out from inside the body of the slime.

Hwaaak.

Orange flames instantly soared to the ceiling.

The slime, engulfed in such fierce flames, began to shrivel with a ‘kud deuk kud deuk’ sound.

The slime let out a silent scream and began to die. The black lustrous body melted and the contents that were digested inside spilled out.

“Uh woah.”

Seeing that repulsive figure, Ellen turned her head away in vain.

Ugh, what kind of slime is so disgusting? Slimes from places like Xapple Story look so cute. That’s why I have to play domestic games…

I hate this world all over again.
