While rushing in to attack, the Sticky Slime spit out its Strong Sticky Liquid, tripping seven of the men and turning them over. Five other men tried to save them, but the liquid got stuck to them too. Having been entangled, all 12 of them where stuck on the ground. Seeing that, the other adventurers stopped moving.
“It’s a high class race! Don’t save the people that have fallen over! You’ll get stuck too!”
“Aah!! What is this!?”
“Now what!?”
“The, the spear…”
“What about the spear!”
“My spear is melting!”
“It’s acid slime! There are acid slimes mixed in with those!”
“What!?”
“Be careful! Your weapon will be melted!”
“This isn’t funny! My sword was expensive, you know!?”
“Hey! Your armor is being melted!!”
“Che! Zeno, Kotor… what’s wrong Kotor!? Get a hold of yourself!”
“Be… care….ful… the...re….are….ev…en….poi…..son…..sli…mes…”
“Ko, Kotor-san has been done in!?”
“Seriously?... What’s wrong with these slimes!!?”
At the unexpected fierce attack of the slimes, the members of the Fang of Orbtem were defeated one after another. Seeing that one-sided fight, the onlookers were stunned.
“How frightening…”
“It gets really troublesome when you gather these many high class slimes… One at a time can be disposed of easily, but…”
“Unless you wipe them all out with magic, this is impossible.”
“Because the slimes’ movements are good, it’s become even more difficult to kill them –de gozaru. The members of the Fang of Orbtem needs to attack the nucleus. In contrast to that, all the slimes need to do is spit out poison and acid without needing to actually target something so precise, while the members of the Fang of Orbtem, because they need to get close to attack, are basically targets that keep coming to get hit. If they throw up the acid and the poison they've dodged, it's also easy for it to hit their allies or their armors. On top of that, because of the number of slimes there are they won’t be able to dodge – de gozaru.”
“As a magician, it’s still fine for me, but it’s extremely difficult for warriors. However, even for a magician, if one were to be attacked by this many slimes, there’s a possibility of eventually being grabbed. I will definitely not make an enemy out of Ryouma – de aru.”
Jeff showed a hint of disdain.
“That bastard, Sacchi. It became like this because he let his guard down because they were slimes.”
“And on top of that, they’re also really slow at dealing with them, nya.”
The onlookers now all believe that the Fang of Orbtem’s defeat has already been decided. And opinions about it have been coming out here and there. As for the leader, Sacchi. His comrades have all fallen, and the only thing he can do now is to keep yelling.
“Son of a bitch! Why are we, by that brat!? Why, by something like a slime!? This is dirty you brat!”
“The one who said to use my slave monsters was you, right? I did tell you that I didn’t mind fighting alone.”
“Arrgh… then, you, using poison is unfair!!”
“Is that something you should be saying!!!!?”
Right after Ryouma’s thundering roar against the Sacchi who was blind to his own shortcomings, more members of the Fang of Orbtem fell, and for a moment the battle stopped. Because of that what Ryouma had just said echoed.
