Chapter 9, Episode 21: The Manor in the Jungle

“So that’s how that happened,” Glen said, watching the mimic slime sprinting through the grass with a trail of following Undead. Now that it was noon, he’d come back for lunch and asked how my morning was.

“Unfortunately, I’d be little more than dead weight on his back,” I explained. “That mimic slime survived this long in the woods, and it can run faster without the extra weight. It’s much easier and safer this way. Besides, it draws in more Undead than I can. The humanoid Undead move as if to hunt the ostrich, and pretty much all the beast zombies fall for the luring ostrich’s power.”

“Huh. Sounds good to me. I get to enjoy my lunch in peace,” Glen said.

“We can relax since both the pitfall digging and Undead luring are being automated by the slimes.” I’d spent the extra time on cooking lunch. Yesterday’s fried snake left a little to be desired on the flavor side, so I used plenty of garlic and sandwiched it in fresh-baked bread and crispy greens, served with a side of fries. Just in case he didn’t want fried food two days in a row, I’d prepared egg sandwiches and potato salad sandwiches, but Glen had no qualms with whatever food I served him.

Just when I was about to finish my sandwich, a vision poured into my head. “Oh!”

“What is it?” Glen asked.

“The mimic slime is being chased by some living raptors. It must have accidentally lured them along with the Undead. It’s on its way here.”

“Time to work off this lunch,” Glen said. Just like that, we were ready to catch the raptor in pursuit.

“Here they come,” Glen said.

“I see them. I’m going to separate the live ones from the dead. Holy Flame Curtain.” I cast the spell just as the mimic slime darted past. A thin carpet of fire laced with Light magic draped in the air.

Frenzied by the luring ostrich’s pheromones, the pursuing horde didn’t run or go around the flame. It didn’t burn the live raptors too badly, though. I’d prioritized the size of the curtain over the heat of the flame. The zombified raptors, however, were another story. The Light in the flame damaged their legs, sending them tumbling to the ground before they burned to ash. So, only the live raptors made it through the curtain of flame. Those we could take out like we always did.

“Take that!” Glen bellowed. Charging raptors normally were a dangerous torrent that threatened to trample over their enemies, but they couldn’t have made it easier for Glen. Whirling the adamantite hammer, he knocked raptor after raptor aside.

With magic and sword, I picked off any raptor fortunate enough to avoid being crushed by Glen’s hammer. By dividing and conquering, we took out the raptors in less than a minute.

“Done and done,” Glen announced. “You’re going to leave that fire like that?”

“It should be fine with all this humidity in the air. And the fire only spread because of my magic.
