‘I’m going to attack the bandits with Magic Transfer, so I want you guys to surround the cottage! Some of them are strong, so stay out of sight! Proud Wolf, I want you to stay hidden somewhere in case the plan fails!’

 

So saying, I cast ‘Monster Conceal’ on them once again.

The slimes were semi-transparent and it was also the middle of the night. 

They would likely remain hidden unless the enemy had monsters that could detect them.

 

Now that I think about it, Rodis had probably specifically chosen this time to take the watch, because it made it easier to ambush us… Of course, it would be used to our advantage now.

 

‘Okay!’

 

‘Understood!’

 

The slimes heard my order and began to separate and surround the cottage.

The Proud Wolf moved a short distance away and hid in some bushes.

 

I would have liked to just use Hellfire of Death… But the magic depletion was so severe, that I would not be able to do anything if we happened to be attacked by reinforcements.

So it would be better to use something less demanding… But I don’t think I ever used magic that was perfect for a small group before.

 

…Well, I’ll choose something randomly. And if it doesn’t work, then I’ll use Hellfire of Death.

With that decided, I searched my memory.

I would like to use something unrelated to fire this time. Fire would light up the place and make the slimes visible if I failed to kill all of them.

 

And then I found something called ‘Curse of Eternal Tundra’… But the name made me think it would be in the same class as Hellfire of Death.

Now, if there was only something a little weaker, that was also ice-type magic… It was as I was thinking such things that I found exactly that.

 

‘Area Freeze – Medium.’

It sounded simple and to the point. I would use this.

 

‘Magic Transfer—-Area Freeze – Medium!’

 

I transferred the magic to the slimes while making sure that no one else would be able to hear my voice.

In the next instant…the sounds of the bandits’ talking suddenly stopped.

Not a sound could be heard from the cottage.

 

‘…What happened?’

 

In order to see inside of the room, I transferred a Magic Bullet to destroy the wall.

And then…everything became clear.

 

At first, it just looked like the bandits were still talking to each other.

There was no surprise over an attack on their faces. If you took a photograph of bandits talking, it would look just like this.

 

The only thing odd was that they were completely still.

I checked their status through the slimes, and it showed that their HP was 0.

Apparently, the bandits had died without ever knowing they had been attacked.

 

‘Area Freeze – Medium’… It was stronger than I had imagined.

As I mused over this, I checked my own status.

 

…My MP had only depleted by 20%.

This was very useful. I don’t know how effective it would be against monsters, but perhaps it was the best for fighting humans.

But now I was curious about the effectiveness of Curse of Eternal Tundra… But that would have to wait.
