The village is now bustling with activity. Everyone, regardless of age or gender, has been mobilized, armed with weapons or farm tools.

Adults wielded hoes and sickles, children brandished kitchen knives and fire pokers, while their enemies...

"Gurgle..."

A blue, translucent ball was hit by the hoe, which embedded itself inside. The blue body swayed, but it didn't seem to have any obvious effect.

Instead, the blue glue spread towards the wooden handle of the hoe, trying to climb upwards, but thankfully it was shaken off in time.

There's no doubt that the monsters invading this place are the most basic kind of monsters, El's old friend, the Water Slime.

Monsters are active in the human kingdom. Without the vampires like those in El's old home, the surrounding area is basically filled with slimes, goblins, and other grunts, with the occasional skeleton or something similar.

They are not strong in combat, but they are numerous and can cause serious damage if not handled carefully.

This village encountered such a terrible situation: slimes gathered and multiplied at the nearby water source, unlike the lucky ones who discovered the slimes earlier, like Al had.

Slimes reproduce by splitting and multiplying, and can grow exponentially without interference.

When the number of slimes reaches a certain level, they emerge from the forest and invade the fields, and it's too late for the villagers to stop them.

Slimes are everywhere, clinging to the walls of villagers' houses, hiding in irrigation ditches, and gnawing on crops in the fields.

It poses almost no threat to humans, but it is a devastating blow to crops, much like a locust plague.

No, for the villagers, this thing is even more troublesome than locusts. At least locusts don't have physical immunity; they can still hop around after being hit by a hoe.

"You wretched slimes, get out of here! Get out of here!"

A cleaver was swung at the slime, and this time, luckily, the slime was sliced ​​open.

However, the two slimes continued rolling, seemingly unaffected by the villagers' attacks.

Only villagers carrying torches can inflict significant damage on monsters with their flames.

"Sizzle..."

The high temperature caused the blue dumpling to shake for a moment, and then it distanced itself from the villagers.

But there are too few torches, and they might be accidentally extinguished by the water flow from the water slime.

"What should we do? Someone please help us, anyone will do..."

Looking at the slime that was still moving freely, they felt a sense of despair.

We've done our best, but our opponents seem to completely ignore our existence and continue to destroy the farmland.

Without a suitable countermeasure, even a fragile monster like a slime can bring terrible disaster.

"Don't worry, I'll help you!"

Almost simultaneously, everyone present heard a bright, confident voice.

Then they saw flames.

"boom……"

It's on fire!

All the slimes in the village were on fire (literally), their bodies were like water, yet they were burning with flames.

The intense heat caused them to shake and roll rapidly in an attempt to extinguish the flames, but to no avail.

The flames did not go out; they simply burned quietly until all the slimes in the village were wiped out.

There's another surprising thing: the slime died from the fire, but everything else in the village—the ground, the houses, the crops—was completely intact.

"How are you all?"

El descended from the sky.
