"Fighting? Hehe, looks like our young master is very brave..."
"Are you scared already?"
"Pfft, it seems like you beco a different person at tis like this...but I like your idea."
"Hmph, then you should hear my plan."
...
"Ah! Is that so? The young master is a genius!"
"Hmph!"
"But is it okay to use this plan? Isn't the risk too great?"
"It's fine, just leave everything to ."
"Young master is really very cool this ti!"
"Yes yes, thank you. When on the count of 3, run straight away."
"Yes, young master!"
"One!"
"Two!"
"Three!"
On the count of three, Signe ran out towards the sli.
The sli who sensed Signe's presence imdiately attacked Signe with tentacles that moved very quickly.
Even so Signe was able to avoid each tentacle accurately.
As Signe continued to dodge each of the sli's tentacles, I kept an eye on the sli.
"...Ah!"
I saw what I needed right now, so I imdiately ran over while breaking Ros' gallbladder all over my body.
The purpose of Ros' gallbladder was to disguise itself from the sensitive senses of monsters.
I moved with all my might and reached right behind the sli.
It seed like the sli didn't realize I was behind it.
(Calm down Zend! This pain won't be as painful as the penalty! That's right! I just need to get used to the pain again!)
After I hypnotized myself, I started to take out my sword and flowed the sword with a very strong ice until the sli realized.
(But it was too late!)
[Frost Area!]
Instantly the entire area around instantly froze, high basic class magic.
Magic that makes the surrounding area experience a temperature drop to 0° F. But it has so side effects such as a large and inefficient Ether drain and the user will also experience temperature changes.
Half of the sli's body froze, feeling my presence more dangerous. All the tentacles attacking Signe stopped and focused on attacking now.
"Young master!"
"Take it easy!"
The mont the tentacles attacking touched my body, they froze.
Another use of Ros's gallbladder is that when Ros's gallbladder encounters cold temperatures, there will be a drastic spike in temperature and if anything touches it at that ti it will instantly freeze.
Sensing that attacking would be worse, the tentacles' attacks stopped.
(How clever, a single-celled creature capable of such intelligence...)
"But it looks like a single cell is still a single cell!"
I took a bottle of green liquid and lubricated it onto my sword. That green liquid was the poison from Calajin's tail.
I extracted half of the poison that was in Calajin's tail.
Then I wrapped Calajin's tail around my other hand.
"This is a battle of strength!"
I then used the only fire magic I had learned and the only one I had mastered over the past few months.
[Ignite!]
Flas began to rise out and burn the Calajin's tail that bound my hand.
Knowing what would happen next, all the tentacles tried to attack again but it was too late!
"Ugh!"
I felt an imnse pain from the combination of two opposite temperatures. Even so, what I did did not change.
I thrust my sword towards the body of the sli yet, and suddenly the entire body of the other sli froze.
Besides being useful as a poison, Calajin's poison is useful for dicine as well, more specifically to kill germs by creeping. And Calajin's poison has properties that change easily depending on the ambient temperature.
When cold temperatures and Calajin's poison et, the answer is freezing indefinitely.
It's a bit of an exaggeration to say infinite freezing but at least it will freeze almost the entire body of the sli.
Feeling that almost the entire body of the sli had been frozen, I struck the sli's body with Calajin's tail that had been on fire.
When the cold-temperature sli body ets the Calajin's tail burned by the Ignite fla, there will be an explosion.
"Young master!"
Before the explosion process happened, Signe ca to and took away.
"Ack!"
"Are you alright?"
Signe looked in great pain as she carried away.
"That should have been my question, young master."
Signe's expression looked very worried about my condition.
The reason for Signe's concern was because the effects of the combination of high magic and low temperature coming close together and occurring in my body must have been excruciating.
But to be honest, this pain was less painful than the penalty from the system.
*Boom*
Just as I thought that, the sli's body began to glow and explode.
Signe and I saw from a distance the end of the irregular monster.
What a boring ending for the creature that slaughtered my squad.
I looked up at the sky, it was starting to get darker. It seed like it would soon beco night.
"That thing is dead, right?"
"Yes, it should be. Just in case, you can check the sli. I'll take the relics of the dead."
"Wouldn't the young master rather rest first?"
"No need, I want to get out of this forest soon. It's going to be night soon, we should hurry."
After confirming the sli's death, Signe and I decided to head back. The two of us or rather Signe supported to walk out of the forest.
"There's only us left huh?"
"..."
"J-don't be too sad, young master...everyone will eventually die-"
"It's not that...Signe, don't you feel strange?"
"Strange?"
"Yeah, slis shouldn't be able to get that big. Plus we've never t anything stronger than goblins and kobolds, it's like they're all gone or maybe swallowed by nature."
"Hmm... does the young master think the sli ate all the monsters?"
"Most likely..."
"Then isn't it good? Thanks to the sli killing the remaining monsters, we won't have to-"
Just as she was about to continue, Signe realized sothing. Signe stopped talking as if she finally understood the aning of my words. We both looked at each other.
It's basic knowledge that monsters can attack and eat each other and creatures that do that are often called irregulars. Not only do they beco extrely strong, they also gain the abilities of the monsters they eat or kill.
And if the sli that Signe and I killed also had that, then it was certain that the sli had the camouflage skill of a nocturnal monster especially now that the lighting was greatly reduced.
*Bloob-bloob*
Then a voice sounded behind us, a voice from sothing instantly fur we both imdiately stood up.
A terrifying sound of sothing huge devouring sothing.
We both looked back, and there was the sli that we should have killed was still alive and shrunk smaller than before devouring a monster that shouldn't be here.
A dead Alpha monster was being devoured by the sli
