Bear-san Fight’s the Sli (1)
After moving Fina and the others to the basent of the bear house in Crimonia, I returned and climbed up on the barrier to look for Kagali-san.
Kagali-san was jumping around, guiding the Sli to stay away from the bear house.
The Sli spread over the town, and the center of the Sli was growing.
It was like a giant pudding, if I may use an analogy.
Could I just be honest and say it was a mountain?
A part of the Sli stretched out and tried to capture Kagali-san.
Kagali-san successfully dodges the Sli’s attack. She was able to avoid Sli’s attack and ca to .
“Kagali-san, are you okay?”
“I can easily avoid that thing. And the three of them?”
“I’ve moved them to a safe place.”
They were moved to the basent of the bear house in Crimonia, where the Sli would not attack them.
“I see. Then we can deal with the Sli in peace.”
Now that they were safe, I could deal with the Sli without any worries.
“Well then, let’s start looking for magical tools. I’ll search for the magic tools from above, and you can search around the periter without taking any risks.”
Kagali-san jumps away.
I moved around, using the buildings and the pillars I had created beforehand as footholds.
Without my bear gear, I would not be able to do this.
I looked down and found the ground teeming with Sli.
I didn’t know what would happen to if I fell, even with my bear gear on.
Just the thought of the Sli crawling inside my hood made shudder.
I definitely did not want to fall.
As I hop around like a rabbit, even though I’m a bear, a part of the Sli reaches out like an outstretched arms and attacks .
As I jumped around, I avoided the Sli’s attacks and used wind magic to retaliate.
The parts of the Sli that were cut off fell down like water.
It doesn’t pose much of a threat when detached from the main body.
However, it seems that the Sli could not be damaged even if it was cut off.
While going around the Sli’s pudding pile, I searched for sothing resembling a magic tool.
At least, I wish I knew what it looked like.
But there were only countless blue magic stones in the Sli.
“Hm?”
As I ran around the Sli, I spotted a square black object floating in its body, about the size of my fist.
Could that be the magic tool?
“Kagali-san!”
“Yuna!”
Kagali-san and I shouted each other’s nas at the sa ti.
“There it is!”
“I found sothing that looks like that too!”
Kagali-san ca over to and looked at the square black thing.
“I knew it…”
“Knew what?”
“I knew when I got closer to the Sli that my ears sensed sothing here and there. I saw what looked like a magic tool when I got closer.”
“What do you an by that?”
“That ans there is more than one magic tool that could control the Sli.”
“But are you sure it was the black one?”
“I’m sure of it. I found one just like that one lying around in the basent. But when I found it, I only saw it as a box, so I thought it was optional. When I saw it in the Sli, I realized that the black square thing was the magic tool needed to control it.”
The basent was also a laboratory, and they had made many containers to draw formulas that would prevent it from being dissolved inside the Sli’s body.
“Then that ans there is more than one of those magic tools…”
“Well, we’ll have to destroy them all, won’t we?”
“How many are there?”
I asked, and Kagali-san’s ears twitched.
“I don’t know exactly how many there are, but I’m sure there are a lot.”
It was a huge sli. It would be a challenge to find all of them.
If Kagali-san could find them, it would be a good start.
“Well, for now, let’s attack.”
Kagali-san sends a ball of fla toward the black magic tool inside the Sli.
The mont it entered the Sli’s body, it disappeared like a fire in water.
“As I thought, no good. If the Sli was normal, I could break through it with this.”
“It’s like water, so maybe fire won’t work.”
“Then what is effective against water?”
In gas, it would be standard that the water (blue) attribute would be weak against the green attribute. Green could be wind or wood, depending on the ga. Of course, the weak points vary from ga to ga, and sotis even in real life.
Also, electric shocks work as well.
“Wind magic?”
At any rate, we’ll have to find a weak point.
Kagali-san shoots wind magic, but it was stopped in the middle of the Sli’s body and turned into a bubble.
The power of the wind weakened, and it did not reach the magical tool.
“As I thought, the power of my magic has decreased. If I had my true power…”
Even if she had her true power, it might still be difficult.
“I’ll try it this ti, Kagali-san. Distract the Sli.”
While keeping my distance, I magically create a clump of dirt the size of a soccer ball and shoot it at the Sli.
Once inside the Sli, the lump of dirt loses its montum as if caught by a cushion and stops inside the Sli’s body.
It is as if the water has killed the montum.
And then, the clumps of soil slowly dissolve and disappear.
“Why did that dissolve? It’s not dissolving the buildings.”
“Maybe it’s because it absorbed the magic power used to create it, or maybe the Sli feeds on magic power.”
“But the pillars I made…”
“Look, they are slowly lting away.”
I looked at the place where Kagali-San’s gaze was directed and saw that a part of the pillar I had magically made had lted.
So I was throwing food into it?
I tried several tis to release earth magic, but the result was the sa.
“This may not be so easy.”
Kagali-San looked at the Sli as she expressed her opinion.
As with anything, every creature should have a weak point.
No monster could withstand all the attributes.
There could be enemies that physical attacks would be effective, enemies that magic attacks would be effective, enemies that attribute attacks such as fire, water, earth, and wind would be effective, etc.
Even in a last boss, there would be a way to attack it.
So, there must be a way to defeat the Sli. I guarantee it.
“How about this??”
If it were bear magic, it wouldn’t lt so easily.
I imagine a bear and create it with earth magic.
“Go, bear!”
When the bear created with earth magic entered the Sli, it changed direction in an arc and was ejected out of the Sli as if spewing sothing unpleasant.
The ejected bear flew in a parabolic arc, hitting the building and collapsing.
“Wait.”
“It seems that it didn’t like it.”
It was not a matter of liking or disliking, though.
Next, I tried using the wind magic that Kagali-san had tested.
However, the air bullet stopped inside the Sli’s body, then rose up like a water bubble and exited the Sli’s body.
It sent a blade of wind that looked like a bear’s claw flying. Unlike Kagali-san’s wind magic, it did not disappear as a bubble of air but was thrown out of the Sli’s body.
Wind magic would be like air bubbles flying inside a body of water. In water, air would rise up due to buoyancy.
It was originally a dominant attribute, but it wasn’t a weakness for the Sli, which had a large body.
“Then how about fire bear magic!”
It wasn’t very effective against water, but the bear’s flas should be able to evaporate it.
Poor thing, but I would bring the Sli to a boil, like I did when I killed the Kraken.
I created a fire bear and shot it at the Sli.
When the fire bear entered Sli’s body, it was ejected just like the earth bear.
The building that the fire bear hit started to burn on impact.
Did it not really taste good for the Sli?
No one could retort that being burned from inside was way worse than tasting bad.
Next, I tried to manipulate the bear magic so that it would not spit out, but the deeper the clay bear went inside the Sli’s body, the more it beca inoperable, and finally, it was spit out.
Was the Sli’s body interfering with the magic operation?
It would be absorbed with weak magic, and with strong magic, such as bear magic, it would be spat out.
Unlike the Black Viper and the Worm, being able to spit out impure matter from anywhere on the body might be troubleso.
Next, I tried ice magic, but part of the surface froze, and the ice bear could not move.
It was like it froze its surroundings and ended up stuck.
Even with bear magic, it was impossible to freeze the Sli deep enough to the center of its body.
“Then, I’ll use my secret technique, lightning magic.
I gathered an electric charge into my Bear puppet and ford it into the shape of a bear.
I then launched the bear lightning magic at the magic tool inside the Sli.
Lightning in the shape of a bear enters the Sli.
If the electric current reaches the magical tool, it should be able to destroy it.
However, the Bear Lightning was diffused like an electrical discharge and only traveled on the surface of the Sli. It did not reach the magical tool in the back.
“Ahaha.”
I started laughing.
This could be worse than I imagined.
I was high on the idea that if I had bear magic or lightning magic, I’d be able to get by.
I didn’t think it wouldn’t work.
I didn’t think it would be so troubleso when dealing with a huge Sli.
It was definitely nastier than the wyverns, black vipers, and Kraken, more so than any of the monsters we’ve fought so far.
Not only was it difficult to defeat, but it was impossible to even break the magic tool inside the Sli’s body.
A Sli may be the weakest when small, but it would be one of the strongest if it were larger.
It could change its body to suit its environnt and thrive, so it could be the strongest creature.
I tried to shoot so lightning magic a few more tis, but the charge did not reach the magic tool.
