“This is the end!” [Ryouma]
I ran toward the snake with the short spear in hand. The undead snake was wary of me, having had its head cut off once, but after raising its sickle-shaped neck several times and swaying, it came to bite at me again.
It’s an attack I’ve seen many times, so I calmly dodged its attack as I clad my short spear with ki. Then I thrusted that spear into the undead snake’s body.
Just that wouldn’t be able to stop the undead snake, but this is exactly what I’ve been aiming for. I let go of the spear with my hand, and dodged the snake that tried to twine itself around me.
The undead snake tried to chase after me, but suddenly, the undead snake fell to the ground. And its body started writhing about just like it did a while ago when I lopped off its head.
When I saw that, I knew that my trump card had worked. After that, I checked up on the snake, and when I confirmed that it was dead, I retrieved my spear.
“Good work, it’s enough now.” [Ryouma]
As I called out to my spear to thank it, the form of the spear crumbled, and it fell onto the ground. It then turned back into its original appearance, the iron slime.
What I used just now was the iron slime spear. But what defeated the undead snake wasn’t just the iron slime alone.
Bodily fluids could be seen seeping out of the wound that the iron slime spear had just left. It’s normal for blood to come out from wounds, but what’s coming out of the snake isn’t blood, but a bloody slime.
I had ordered an iron slime to create a hollow iron spear. And then in the hollow portion of that spear, I had ordered a bloody slime to wait. With the iron slime’s natural hardness coupled with the reinforcement of my ki, its strength was more than enough. And I pierced the foe’s body with the spear, upon which the iron slime transformed again. The bloody slime in the hollow portion of the spear then entered the blood vessels of the enemy through its open wound.
After that, the bloody slime sucked the enemy dry of its blood, killing it.
“I guess it does work even against A Rank magical beasts… I shouldn’t use it too much though…” [Ryouma]
This technique is strong, but it’s a bit too brutal. Whether it be human or magical beast, I don’t think there’s anything that this technique can’t kill. I don’t know everything there is to know about magical beast though, so there might be one that could live through it, but for the most part, as long as I’m able to pierce with the spear, I should be able to kill the target.
At the very least, it’s shown itself to be very effective when I tested it against the goblins and other various magical beasts when I first thought of it.
But while it’s efficient, if I use this too much, my skill will get dull. I also can’t use it in front of humans. Just think of the consequences if word of it gets out, and a villain finds out about it.
But there’s no doubt that this skill is my trump card.
As I decided that in my heart, I retrieved the undead snake’s corpse, and then retired for the day. Today’s been really tiring…
