Eternal Adventurer (WN): Chapter 503

 

Mucus in the Cage



"Yep, I say, it's 30 points."



Zelius is analyzing his own magic right in front of me.



"Orba, yours was quite powerful."


"I don't know about that. So, what is this magic?"



What appeared in front of me was a magic cage made with mana.


It completely surrounds the giant golden slime


Immobilized



"Why, compared to professional mages, being rough is a good thing."


"That was quite a long chant, wasn’t it?"


"I simply couldn't make the chant more efficient. Shiro-dono... wouldn't be able to do it, but Yukikaze-sama or Tenrei-sama would be able to make it shorter and more powerful."



Well, it can't be helped since sensei uses his senses to cast magic.



"Well, that's fine, but how does the magic work?"


"Simply put, it's a net cage used for catching fish."


"Ah... one way?"


"It's like that..."


"It absorbs mana and becomes stronger, right?"



You can tell that much by looking at it


I didn't ask Shiro-sensei for this.



"...I can't tell you more."


"Why!"


"If I explained, I wouldn't be able to explain any more to someone who'd throw a sideways lance at the most important part, idiot!"


"Oh, that's too bad. What should we do with this slime?"


"…Speaking of slime! Right?"



……………Ah!




――――――――――――




"Coming through!"


"Don't get too close! It's bad for your eyes!"



The weakness of slime is lime.


Moreover, this time we prepared



"Hahahahahaha! What's up, you slimy bastard! Fresh high-quality lime, delivered directly from the source, will seep into you well!"



Harsh


The slime is running amok in the magic cage



"Well, don’t you think it’s just so pitiful?"


"What are you talking about? It doesn't matter because it killed so many people!"



More and more lime was falling from the airship.


The cage is taken in mercilessly


Melting the slime with no escape


And soon the inside of the cage was filled with lime.



"Zelius, what's next?"


"I'll leave it alone for a night and release the magic."


"Can it be maintained?"


"Yeah, it'll be fine until I release it or the mana disappears."



Then one night passed


When I released the magic the next morning, the golden slime had disappeared without a trace.


And as expected


No core was found in the slime


Scholars began investigating the site and the ruins.
