The Counterattack of the Red Slime

Currently, Yuuto is able to handle 4 types of magic which are 《Fire Magic》, 《Water Magic》,《Wind Magic》 and 《Holy Magic》.
Among these, Yuuto still doesn’t have any experience in using 《Fire Magic》.

As for the reason why, 《Fire Magic》 isn’t a magic where you can carelessly hit something.

Yuuto has been basically training in the room of the inn up until now.
If he makes a mistake while learning how to use it, it’ll be catastrophic.

Fire Magic Lv 3
Available Magic: Fire Bomb

Like 《Water Magic》 and 《Wind Magic》, when 《Fire Magic》reached Lv 3, I unlocked bomb magic.

Against demons, I want to verify how much damage it can give.
Thinking about it, I have no experience subduing a demon using magic.

「Master, I think that there’s one red slime up ahead.」

「Right, I understand. You two don’t interfere this time because I want to fight this one by myself.」

After getting the consent of the two, Yuuto went to the direction which Spica indicated.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

Red Slime – Threat Lv 1

After walking for a while, I encountered the demon that I was aiming for.

There’s only one, the ideal partner to test hitting it with magic.

I had the habit of not attacking it if it did not approach 5 metres of distance because slime-based demon have extremely low vision.

Yuuto quickly lessens the distance between him and the slime.

Then, holding up his right hand, he chanted a spell in his mind.

(…Firebomb!)

A sphere of about 10cm in diameter immediately emerged from Yuuto’s palm.

The power was high in bomb magic but its range is short.
As a precaution to not get caught in the explosion, Yuuto went back three steps and decided to see what will happen.

The magical sphere, which continues to move in a slow speed, exploded with the range of approximately 1 metre.

After an intense explosive sound was heard, a terrible hot wind rages in the vicinity.

「Oh…!」

Its power exceeded Yuuto’s expectation.
The lethality of it is extremely higher even if it’s the same kind of magic as 《Water Magic》 and《Wind Magic》.

When hit directly, a human head will be blown away easily.

The range of the bomb magic is fatally short.

The result of training the control of magic everyday has improved.
I have a feeling that the flying distance increased to some extent when compared with the past.

None the less, it seems like it’s far from giving damage to the red slime–.

Piki-!

The red slime, after noticing that it was being attacked, springs towards Yuuto.

Only the cry is cute, but I mustn’t be deceived.
A creature which you can see its transparent internal organs can only be described as grotesque.

「…Oops.」

Yuuto dodges it with room to spare.

(Aside from Sylphia… Even if I get covered by the body fluid of something sticky, who will profit from it…)

It’s better to throw the stone which was in my pocket to defeat it but, this is special, so different magic will also be tried.
Holding up his right hand, he chanted a spell.

(… Fire!)

An intense fire is released from the end of Yuuto’s palm.

The amount of fire far exceeded Yuuto’s expectation.
If it’s this, I would be able to inflict a considerable burn on a human target if I shoot it.

(Fire magic seems to have high killing and wounding ability overall…)

The body of the red slime is wrapped in a flame of the flaming red which burns down the whole red slime for Yuuto.

Just as planned.

Red Slime – Threat Lv 8

(God awful: Oooh, stuff’s about to go down.)

「What!? 」

Yuuto steps back in surprise, the red slime which bathed in intense flame increased its volume for approximately 3 times.

Its threat level also increased of Lv 1 to Lv 8.

The highest threat that Yuuto fought up until now was Lv 8.

「Master, please be careful! The red slime’s power seems to increase temporarily when it bathed in flame! 」

「Are you serious…」

I was careless.
Because the ability that I could acquire by ability looting was 《Fire-tolerant》, I expected that I was strong in fire magic somehow.

I didn’t expect it to become strong when it’s exposed to flame.

「…!?」

(God awful: I love you dots, making my work easier~)

Then Yuuto heard a small 「Pii-! 」out of nowhere.
It took him a moment to understand that it was due to the effect of the skill which he acquired the other day.

Alarm Bell – Rarity ☆☆☆☆☆
(A skill which rings a sound that is only heard by the skill holder. The volume of the sound increases according to the degree of risk.)

The volume of the sound is very weak.
That means that the degree of risk of the opponent before then wasn’t that high for Yuuto.

(Nevertheless… It is certain that it’s an opponent who may threaten my life.)

It didn’t ring when I fought a threat Lv 1 slime and a threat Lv 2 bat.

Therefore, it’s certain that this slime is a demon whom Yuuto should be cautious of.

Bi-gi-!

The tone of the enlarged red slime’s cry became low.

「…tto.」

(God awful: SFX for dodging.)

Yuuto lightly dodges the attack of the red slime.
The speed seemed to drop considerably as much as its body enlarged.

(However… what to do…)

Until now, Yuuto can subdue slime by throwing stones at it.

But as expected, throwing stones won’t be able to subdue something this big.

 

(I didn’t think that the enemy which rings the alarm bell for the first time is a… red slime…)

Yuuto was worried for the formidable enemy whom had appeared unexpectedly.
