4. Temporary Champion Promotion Test (3)
Slime.
A slime-like monster.
It can change shape here and there, but it is basically a hemispherical shape attached to the floor.
There are three types, green, yellow and red.
What stood in the way of Ian and Vivian now was the most basic green slime.
It attacks by bouncing its body, or by suddenly stretching it out and hitting it.
The standard response is many-to-one.
Between melee classes such as knights.
Archers and wizards penetrate the core from a distance.
Vivian’s case doesn’t deviate too much from that method.
The other thing is that you have to engage in close combat with the magician, and there is no one to hold on to because you are alone.
“Oops!”
Vivian rolled to avoid the slime that was charging at her.
If you keep your distance and use magic quickly, you can catch them easily.
But Ian wouldn’t allow it.
‘Stay. To the streets of slime.’
so instructed
‘After dodging, pierce the core with an ice spear. Keep in mind. It’s not about using magic at a distance, it’s about avoiding and using it from a dangerous distance.’
Vivian muttered over and over again what Ian had said.
“Dodge, magic. Dodge, magic. Avoid, magic… .”
Vivian didn’t know why she had to go this far.
I was curious but didn’t ask.
I followed as instructed.
because i trusted him
“Sigh!”
I tried to avoid the slime that came at me again, correct my posture, and cast my magic.
But the slime had already spread on the floor and was approaching.
“Ugh, that’s unpleasant… !”
Vivian hated it, but didn’t spread the distance, stepped hard and avoided or rolled.
Ian watched it from a distance.
‘It is said that it is a talent of no casting, but it seems that using magic while moving is another matter.’
dodge and hit
Or, block and hit.
This is the most basic tactic Ian teaches.
Ian also knows how to deal with slime.
It binds feet in close proximity, and kills by penetrating the core in the center from a distance.
If you know how to do it, you can hunt even if you are not a superman.
But Vivian is not like that.
If you are bound by the standard, you will not be able to respond to various crisis situations.
We are strong alone and stronger when we work together.
Ian came to a realization while experiencing various difficulties and hell, including the second round.
Practice doesn’t always flow the way it should.
It was difficult to use magic while moving the body.
This is why most wizards stand still and cast spells, and priests and archers stand by them.
In other words, wizards are vulnerable in situations where distance is reduced.
Ian hoped Vivian wouldn’t.
‘It’s not easy to see the target immediately after avoiding and use magic.’
At the center of the slime is a nucleus.
It looks easy to fit, but they can stretch and shorten their bodies at any time.
It means that the position of the nucleus in the center changes from time to time.
“Ouch!”
Vivian, who rolled and avoided it, finally cast her spell.
-bang!
but missed
For the rest of the time, ice spears of increased density and reduced size pierced the wall.
‘… I’m sure you’ll die if you hit it right.’
A few minutes of playing tag with the green slime that came up to thigh height.
The slime whose core was destroyed collapsed.
“Ahh-!”
Vivian shouted in front of the crumbling slime.
Anyone who sees you will know that you are a warrior who won the war.
“Good job.”
“Huh… . really?”
“really. Just keep doing this.”
“Hee hee, yes!”
Vivian, who overcame one, answered confidently.
That confidence didn’t last long.
It was because, within a few steps, two slimes came out at the same time.
“Uh… .”
“You have to do it like before. You know?”
“yes… .”
Vivian entered the dangerous streets again and started playing tag with the two slimes.
It seemed like it would take a long time to cross the road, but Ian was at ease.
‘Among them, none of them are good enough to catch the King Slime. I can go leisurely.’
In other words, he meant to roll Vivian harder.
***
-Hook!
“It’s neat.”
Felix smiled contentedly.
All of the aspirants he brought were competent, and they got along well.
The knight blocks the slime in front, and the archer or wizard removes it.
When a large number of people gathered, the priest’s protection miracle was mobilized, or the knight took damage and used a healing miracle.
It was an absolutely perfect response.
Even if it was a surprise attack from the gap between the ceiling and the wall, the four aspirants responded without panic.
Felix’s head nodded.
‘This is the most basic way to catch slime. The idiot with Phillip’s disease doesn’t even know that… . What am I going to do with only Vivian?’
By the time his aspirants finish the dungeon.
Only then will Vivian arrive at the joint.
Or maybe I won’t be able to come.
‘That must be fun too.’
Stupid Vivian meets a stupid manager and ruins his business.
It was pathetic, funny, and natural.
Felix’s party broke through all the roads and left only the common entrance.
“Are you all hurt?”
“yes.”
Four inquirers answered confidently.
“great. They are also the people I chose. Let’s just go like this.”
Felix smiled contentedly, and the aspirants smiled along with him.
The final gateway, the common door, has opened.
-Kikkiik… .
The stone door cracked to the side.
The inside of the cavity was so dark that nothing could be seen.
Only the bleak mist on the floor was faint.
“light.”
The wizard summoned light and floated it in front.
Only their periphery was dimly lit.
The knight standing in front stepped cautiously.
Felix, who was the furthest behind, slowly followed suit.
‘Was it originally this dark… ?’
I was puzzled, but not afraid.
They can even hunt big slimes.
-Slap… .
Something moved in the dark.
The knight immediately held out his shield, and the flying slime collided with it.
Immediately after inserting it into the sword and fixing it, the archer shot a bow and pierced the core.
It completely defended against surprise attacks.
“Whoa… . Well done. Just do that.”
The party went a few steps further.
In the scene Wright revealed, Felix looked at the other party’s door.
Felix Party was the only one who arrived at the joint.
“It’s too dark… . Can’t we have one more light?”
“It’s hard to maintain, but I’ll try… . light.”
Another light flashed.
It was still dark though.
I couldn’t see anything, but I walked slowly forward.
“Felix. Is it really this dark?”
“no… . Even if there is only this much light, it becomes soft. Strange.”
-Chack, slap… .
Startle. The party has stopped.
I heard the slime squirm beyond the darkness.
“Where are you? front?”
“Weren’t you by my side?”
-Chack, slap, slap… .
Only two lights flickered uneasily in the dark.
There were five people under him.
Behind them, they could see the door they had just come out of.
-Chack, slap… .
How far, in which direction.
I couldn’t figure it out at all.
The urge to return to the door crept into the minds of the five.
-Slap… .
“Oh shit! Where are you! archer! Do something!”
“Do you know what kind of Beatrice I am?! What can I do when it’s so dark!”
“Light, light, how can it be any worse?”
“No more than this… !”
thick darkness.
The unpleasant sound of slimes that cannot be measured in direction, distance or number.
Stranger than that.
‘… Why is there a wall in front of me?’
Felix is not new to this joint.
The cavity, which is wide and high enough to resemble a temple, is an empty place.
There can be no object that looks like a wall in front of them right now.
Even if it’s a big slime, it’s bigger than a person, but it doesn’t feel like a wall.
Above all, there must be a lighted candle in the original cavity as well.
It’s never been as dark as today.
‘Something… .’
-Chulbak, churreureuk… .
Immediately after hearing the sound of slime flowing.
Above the two lights, a certain enormous weight fell.
“No way, Big Slime… ?”
“Is it this big? Felix?”
“Oh, no… . Gee, I’ve never heard of this… .”
I felt something huge, as if a building had risen in front of me.
When it got closer to the soft light, I could only tell it was green.
-Grumble… .
It made a grotesque sound as it came right in front of me.
“This, slime… ?”
before they do anything.
Hundreds of green slimes poured down from the giant slime.
“aaagh-!”
*
“Whoa… .”
Vivian and Ian also arrived at the common door.
Vivian took a final breath and brushed the dust off her clothes.
“The white dress is pretty, but it’s too messy… .”
“Don’t worry, it will come off quickly if you wash it. Also, isn’t it nice because it looks like you worked hard even if it gets a little dirty?”
“Hee hee, that’s right.”
At first, even catching one green slime was daunting.
After hunting both at the same time, there was nothing to shy away from.
Dodge, Ice Spear.
I was completely used to that series of processes.
The surprise attack from falling from the ceiling, and the attack from being caught in a gap in the wall.
Blocked them all by herself.
Ian was very satisfied with that rapid growth.
‘Because I chose people well.’
“If you are ready, open Vivian.”
“Yes, got it.”
Vivian carefully pushed the door open.
Slowly, the stone door opened to the side, and a bleak fog and darkness fell.
“OMG… . I think even ghosts will come out. But why is it so dark?”
Ian crossed the threshold and looked around.
The environment is the same as when the King Slime appeared.
All lights are off, and a bleak fog covers the cavity.
-Chack, slap… .
An unpleasant sound coming from beyond the darkness.
The green slimes that the king slime divided were watching this place.
Originally, it has no intelligence, but it is different when King Slime is present.
“Vivian. Do you know how to use a light?”
“yes. I will try it.”
– Phat!
An intense light appeared in the air.
With just that alone, the entire cavity became brighter.
“Hick… .”
Vivian gasped in surprise.
An extra-large slime nestled in the center of the cavity.
A swarm of green slimes swarmed around him like green bugs.
And, a party of two warriors gathered in front of the door and about to collapse.
Felix and Marie looked back at Vivian at the same time.
With their backs behind the closed stone door, they were barely holding on to a group of green slimes.
A few of them had already passed out, and the green slime approached to eat them.
“Go away!”
Whenever that happened, fellow aspirants were busy knocking them out.
Felix, meanwhile, glared at Vivian as if he were going to kill him.
Vivian couldn’t keep her eyes still.
this situation.
those eyes.
everything is familiar
The last test in which only you, who stayed in a safe place because you were incompetent, stood up.
Even then, Felix glared at himself, who was not helping, with eyes similar to those of now.
Even then, Vivian stood alone among the fallen would-be.
All she could do was hold out until another party came.
“Uh, uh… .”
“Vivian.”
“Yes, yes, yes… .”
“Calm down. I could.”
“Yes Yes? I, I… . me? Something like me… .”
“uh? just now?”
“yes? Eh, huh?!”
The soot that had risen in his eyes suddenly subsided.
Vivian turned to Ian with a flushed face.
The look that trembled at the painful memory was gone.
“You haven’t forgotten what you remembered earlier, have you?”
“Ah, ah, really, really? I really do… ?”
“Absolutely. I promised When I want, whenever, wherever. Do not forget it.”
“Ugh… .”
Vivian looked back at Co.
I saw another aspirant struggling to hold on.
Only Vivian was fine.
More at noblemtl com
Just looking at the giant slime in the middle makes my heart choke, but can I really do it?
“Vivian.”
“yes.”
“You don’t have to worry about what you’ve been limiting until now.”
“yes?”
“It’s okay to avoid fighting by narrowing the distance. Do whatever you want, to your heart’s content. now.”
Wait a minute to see Ian.
I turned my head again and quickly scanned the cavity.
There was no time to ponder for long.
Vivian nodded her head as if determined.
“I know.”
“One last thing. The nucleus is small compared to its large size. So, you will have to aim for the moment when the nucleus is firmly fixed.”
“yes.”
King Slime looked down.
Hundreds of green slimes are centered on her.
Vivian walked away slowly.
The first thing to do was to brighten up the cavity.
As she extended her wand, a light appeared in the air.
It was an ordinary light magic, but the result was not ordinary.
A total of 10 lights were evenly distributed around the king slime.
Each one of them was already dazzling, and the cavity became bright like a field in broad daylight.
The other aspirants and Felix couldn’t keep their mouths shut at the sight.
’10 lights… ? Even all at once… .’
It seems too early to be surprised.
Vivian immediately thought of the next spell and said to herself.
“can do… . I can do it.”
