With Semiris's reminder, Hulim gradually calmed down and thought quickly in his mind.
Slimes have no vision and rely mainly on sensing the vibrations around them to determine the location of their prey.
Hulim tried to minimize the amplitude of his movements. The slime was unable to determine Hulim's specific location for a moment and began to twist his body to detect the surroundings.
It is easy to knock down a slime. A fireball can seriously injure it. However, the slime's body fluids are highly corrosive. If you use a fireball directly at such a close distance, while knocking down the slime, you will also be contaminated by the splashing corrosive body fluids and get injured.
Injuries must be avoided.
The magic that can prevent this from happening is...
While Hulim was thinking of a countermeasure, the slime seemed to have discovered Hulim's approximate location and began to move towards her.
“【????????????????????????????????????】”
"Rock barrier!"
Boom!
As Hulim quickly chanted the spell, a wall of earth and stone appeared in front of her.
Bang!
The slime hit the wall, causing it to shake.
Although the second-level earth barrier magic looks very imposing, it is greatly affected by the environment, so its strength cannot be guaranteed.
Fortunately, the slime's advance was blocked.
"strengthen!"
A burst of white light lit up at Hulim's feet.
whoosh!
The petite figure flashed through the woods, and Hulim quickly distanced herself from the slime.
And then...
“【??????????????????????????????】”
"Fireball!"
boom!
A blazing fireball appeared in front of Hulim, and then flew quickly towards the slime.
Feeling the approaching fiery fluctuations, the slime twisted its body violently and tried to escape, but its speed was no match for the fireball.
Boom!
After a loud bang.
The slime exploded, and a large amount of corrosive liquid splashed everywhere.
Hulim hid behind the rock barrier in time, and the liquid in this direction was blocked by the rock barrier. In the end, not a drop of corrosive liquid splashed on Hulim.
Crash!
As the magic power maintaining the rock barrier was exhausted and it collapsed, only a pile of pungent white smoke remained where the slime had been.
Hulim breathed a sigh of relief. The power of the fireball was even greater than she had imagined. It hadn't been this powerful before. Was it because she had become more proficient...
"Hey, not bad, Hulim! Even though this is your first time facing a monster, you're calmer than I thought. I thought you'd scream out in fear."
"... ...What kind of image do I have in your eyes?"
Hulim complained silently to Semiris, who had flown back to her without her noticing.
"Well, let's put that aside for now. But, Hulim, you don't think there's only one, do you?"
"What--?!"
Before Hulim could understand what Semiris meant, rustling sounds began to come from the surrounding forest.
Then three transparent jelly-like creatures appeared in Hulim's field of vision from different directions.
[Multiple enemies appeared~! ]
"...What's that glowing subtitle thing?"
"Hehehe~, this is more appropriate~!"
Semiris scratched her head with a smile.
"But now's not the time to worry about that. The slime is coming."
“Ah~ah~! Seriously, I get it! Strengthen—!”
