“What is?”
“There are too few monsters. It’s not normal to walk this much without encountering any.”
Ahh. This was because I had killed all the monsters who looked like they would get close.
After all, there was actually quite a distance between us and the slimes in the front. And the slimes also stored all of the bodies, which caused Tina to think that ‘there were no monsters.’
“I’m having the slimes kill all of the monsters up ahead in advance.”
“…But don’t you lose MP every time the slimes use magic? I would think the MP depletion would be serious if they killed so many.”
“Not necessarily. The slimes do use MP, but I’ve been only using efficient magic.”
“Efficient magic?”
“Yeah. Like fire magic. It’s difficult to control but quite powerful in return.”
“I never heard that before. Or perhaps slime magic is special. …So, how many monsters did they kill?”
How many…
I hadn’t exactly been counting, but it was probably…
“I think around 30. Don’t worry, I haven’t used that much MP.”
“Only 30 after walking in this forest for so long. We should consider ourselves lucky. …Still, the magic must be incredibly efficient if you aren’t worried after killing 30…”
Tina said this and paused…then she looked up at the sky.
“Is it also because of the slimes that it’s become darker?”
I looked up as well and it did seem like the sky had darkened.
However, I hadn’t done anything. Besides, what reason would I have to darken the sky?
But it did seem very strange.
It wasn’t particularly cloudy, and the sun was still up. And yet it was dark.
It was almost like a solar eclipse, but the sun was still visible.
“It’s very eerie… I want to hurry up and finish this quest so we can go back.”
I agreed.
Unfortunately, from what I could tell from the slimes through Shared Senses, nothing had been found yet.
…But I decided to ask just in case.
‘Hey. Any signs of something strange or very powerful monsters?’
‘There are no powerful monsters at all!’
‘The thing that is strange is that there are no powerful monsters!’
‘There is strange magical energy, but no monsters!’
It seemed that the monster we were after was not close by, but the slimes also felt that something was wrong.
Well…what would happen now?
Thanks.
Thanks for the new chapter!
Welp… Dark above with bountiful energy and no powerful monsters…. Something is flying over and casting a shadow is my guess 😱 but slime sage will fix it with a couple thoughts while expending some mp and hp 😁 thanks for the chapter ❤️
So close to the manga now! I’m hype!
Thanks for the new chapter! 🙂
