Chapter 8, Episode 10: Extermination

“Hmm... There’s plenty left over.”

Reinbach was right. While the number of Undead below the cliff had decreased, there were still several hundred writhing in the valleys. Many of the remaining monsters were slower or had stopped regenerating. Still, with the fire dying down, the disintegration of some of them had given the others enough room to wander, making any more spreading of flames unlikely.

“I call it a major improvement. Let’s take it easy—it’ll take as long as it takes,” said Remily.

“Then I’ll bring the slimes to secure locations for you all to descend,” I said.

“Thanks. As soon as you give us those openings, we’ll join the fray,” said Sever.

The wind blowing through the valleys should’ve cleared the smoke and carbon dioxide, but I decided to wear a filter slime like a face mask to be safe, and prepared to spray water onto my landing zone.

“Water I can handle, Master Ryoma. Waterfall!” Sebas’s spell generated enough water in the air to fill an olympic swimming pool, which cascaded down a moment later. There was a sizzle and steam rose as the water met the scorched rocks below, but the steam was soon engulfed in the downward torrent.

“Thank you!” I said, and gave a direction to the emperor scavenger slime.

In response, it enlarged itself as much as it could. As soon as its body reached the edge of the cliff, it contracted, toppling over the ledge, jiggling in the gusty air. The emperor scavenger slime landed like a rubber ball in slow motion, using its resilience to cushion the landing. I checked in with it, and it responded by sending me a mental image that indicated it was doing well. Even after a five-story jump, the slime remained completely unharmed.

“I wasn’t convinced that your slime would be unaffected by the fall until I saw it,” said Remily.

“Emperor slimes have incredibly high resistance to physical damage. I once tried attacking it as an experiment, and I couldn’t deal any damage to it,” I explained. Magic fared better than physical attacks, but its effectiveness was also greatly muffled by the slime’s resistance and sheer mass. I don’t know if I could’ve taken an emperor slime down if I had to. As it turned out, I now had a slime that could prove very dangerous in the wrong hands...which was exactly why I felt so safe with it on my side.

“Look at it swallowing up the Undead,” Sever remarked.

“They don’t stand a chance,” Reinbach said.

The Undead would notice the emperor in their vicinity and approach, only to be entangled in the slime’s tentacles and crushed under its overwhelming mass. The monsters must have been trying to resist, but their efforts made no difference against the massive emperor slime.

“It’s doing great,” I said. “It should be able to split up and carry on fighting, but I’ll send the other slimes down before I do that.

Seeing that the emperor slime had stretched out like an airbag, I sent down the other slimes to safely land on the cushioning emperor slime.
