Chapter 73

Advent (1)

The next day.

Amelia, Paulen, and Gracie headed to the laboratory the Magic Tower Lord prepared while taking the slime.

Inside the laboratory, there were of course tools for various magic experiments as well as scrolls with magic circles written or magic stones, etc., giving off the atmosphere of a mage’s laboratory at a glance.

“Welcome, Saintess Amelia, Paladin Paulen.”

“Are we confirming Budul here?”

“That’s right. Even I think it’s a too amazing slime, so it might even be a new species of slime.”

“Budul being a new species of slime...”

“First, will you give the slime here?”

“Yes.”

Amelia handed the slime held with both hands to Brooks Besilja.

[Noblesse Fire]▶What are they confirming?

▶At best knowing it’s a bounce slime is all, right?

▶Ah lolol stupid humans don’t even know Mallang’s species well lolol

[Thread Lady]▶Rather, won’t they come to know how cute Mallang-nim is?

▶Would they?

[Soft Queen]▶How dare mere humans confirm my kin, impudent and unpleasant!

▶So what can you do?

[Soft Queen]▶Kkanjuk this guy! What are you doing not kicking out this guy who picks fights at every little thing!

▶lololol

▶Ah lolol if it’s not insulting himself it’s ‘fair’~.

Brooks Besilja, holding the slime, placed the slime in the center of the magic circle prepared in advance.

‘Confirm? How?’

The slime that understood the content of the conversation had curiosity vigorously blooming about how they were trying to confirm itself.

Boing!

“Stay still. Then everything will be fine.”

‘Talking to me!’

‘Stay still!’

Seeing the slime stop jumping and stay still, Brooks Besilja reconfirmed that the slime in front of him was truly a smart slime.

‘It’s a waste but it can’t be helped. Become the sacrifice for my happiness.’

Brooks Besilja moved away from the magic circle and said to the three.

“Step back a bit more.”

While speaking, Brooks Besilja who extended his hand toward the magic circle sent mana and activated the magic circle.

Uuuung!

Centered on the magic circle, a hemispherical barrier formed of mana was formed.

“What is that barrier exactly?”

“It’s for safety. Originally it’s a magic circle made to investigate living unidentified monsters.”

It was a lie.

This magic circle now was precisely the magic circle Brooks Besilja made yesterday for today.

“Then let’s start the confirmation.”

After the hemispherical barrier was erected, the magic circle began to emit light.

‘Wow!’

The slime looked at the magic circle shining from the floor with wonder.

▶Ah, restrain the eye flash a bit.

▶How do you know what with this kind of thing?

▶Dunno?

The viewers were also looking with interest when.

Pajik! Pajijijik!

An ominous sound like electricity sparking began to come from the magic circle.

“Th, this can’t be!”

Matching that timing, Brooks Besilja began acting greatly surprised.

“What’s going on!”

“This can’t be! Why is the magic circle running wild...!”

Brooks Besilja’s acting claiming he knows nothing at all.

There was no one in this place who could know that it was acting.

“What did you say!?”

“Bu, Budul-ah!”

“Stop! You must not approach now! If it goes wrong you might get involved!”

“...! Saintess!”

Hearing Brooks Besilja’s words, Paulen grabbed Amelia’s arm and stopped her who was trying to approach the magic circle.

“Paulen! Let go! Budul is in danger now!”

“M, Magic Tower Lord! Is there nothing I can help with!?”

“Gracie! Stay still! If you carelessly interfere a bigger matter might happen!”

Since if Gracie carelessly stepped forward and tried to control the flow of mana his self-made play might be exposed, Brooks Besilja scolded toward Gracie not to interfere.

“E, explosion!? No!”

▶Explosion?

▶What, is Mallang in crisis now?

▶lolol is it explosion death ending.

[Soft Queen]▶No! My kin! Escape from there right now!

[Thread Lady]▶Kyaaaaak! Mallang-niiiiim!

[Noblesse Fire]▶Hey! Break that kind of barrier right now and come out!

[Just Stick It In and See]▶Stick it! Break that barrier right now and come out!

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶Mallang-nim! It’s dangerous!

In the urgent situation, the monsters who were fixedly watching the slime’s broadcast excluding the troublemakers warned.

‘Break?’

The slime saw the chat and used bounce tackle to try to escape the barrier.

Booyong!

However, even with the slime’s bounce tackle the barrier did not break.

‘Useless! That’s a barrier that can easily withstand even an A-rank monster’s attack!’

The slime used bounce tackle several times but the barrier did not break.

“The barrier! Please release that barrier quickly!”

“If I do that this room including everything will fly away! At least by maintaining the barrier it will end with just that slime!”

Pajik! Pajik! and the ominous sound was growing even louder.

“No! Budul-ah!”

‘Good! It’s about time to explode it!’

When Amelia’s scream and Brooks Besilja was inwardly smiling a triumphant smile.

Uuuuuuuung!

Right above the hemispherical barrier a black space appeared.

“Wh, what!?”

A black space that suddenly appeared in the air.

At the unexpected situation, Brooks Besilja was flustered.

From the black space an emaciated hand bone appeared.

The moment the hand bone appeared, a powerful death aura flowing out filled the room.

‘This aura is...!’

Death aura.

It was an aura emitted by undead.

And not an aura an ordinary undead would emit but a intense death aura of at least death knight class.

It made the paladin Paulen’s liver chill.

“Saintess! Gracie! Please step back behind me!”

Paulen stepped forward and took out a sword and shield from the inventory to take a battle-ready stance.

“Paladin Paulen! What is this...”

“It’s death aura, Magic Tower Lord! And that of death knight or higher.”

“Wh, what!?”

‘No, why is such an undead suddenly coming out!?’

At the all-too-sudden situation, Brooks Besilja was watching the situation without even exploding the magic circle.

At that time, the moment the hand bone that appeared from the black space pointed the index finger downward toward the hemispherical barrier.

From the tip of the index finger black light was shot in a straight line.

Chaaaaang!

The black light broke the hemispherical barrier in one go, then split into several branches and scorched the magic circle.

Pajijijijik!

“Kuuuuk!? Aaaack!”

The magic circle scorched mercilessly to the point of being violent.

However, that effect was not only making the magic circle not explode, but making the mana of Brooks Besilja connected to manipulate the magic circle reverse flow.

At the pain that occurred from the sudden mana reverse flow, Brooks Besilja screamed and sat down on the floor.

“M, Magic Tower Lord!”

When the black light from the index finger faded, from the black space even more hand bone came out of the space and revealed its form.

The extending hand bone was downward.

It was extending toward the slime.

“Bu, Budul-ah!”

“Saintess! You must not rashly step forward!”

“But Budul is...!”

Paulen also wanted to immediately rush out and secure the slime if his heart allowed.

But the existence that appeared before his eyes was too strong an unknown existence for the paladin Paulen to feel.

‘What purpose did it appear for? Is it aiming for Amelia?’

Especially from the point of emitting the death aura unique to undead, he couldn’t exclude the possibility of aiming for the next Saintess Amelia.

If it aimed for the gap when he approached the slime and attacked Amelia?

As a paladin he couldn’t create such a situation.

‘Wow!’

Meanwhile the slime was looking at the hand bone approaching itself full of curiosity.

Even though it was approaching itself, the hand bone didn’t particularly look threatening.

Because for the slime, whether a person’s hand or hand bone, it was no different from something of similar form!

▶What is that again?

▶Explosion ending over? Doing well.

[Soft Queen]▶Are you safe, my kin!

[Noblesse Fire]▶Hey, bone. Did you do it?

[Gothic Luxury Bone]▶How am I supposed to move from this demon continent to the Dersia continent?

[Just Stick It In and See]▶So what is that bone again?

▶Isn’t it time for the explanation insect to come and explain?

▶Wait! I don’t know that either.

▶You don’t know lolol

▶Aoh lolol

The hand bone continued downward as is and finally grabbed the slime with one hand.

And.

Knead knead.

It began kneading the slime while moving its fingers.

““...?””

At the appearance of continuing to knead the slime for over 10 seconds, everyone in the room had a question mark floating above their heads.

‘Knead knead!’

Only the slime was happy as usual from being kneaded.

It was then.

[Mallang-nim.]

The slime heard a voice like the system’s voice.

[It’s me. Kkanjuk.]

‘Kkanjuk!’

The monster only seen in the chat window.

At the voice revealing itself as Kkanjuk, the slime was startled.

[I have a request. Please turn off the broadcast a bit.]

‘Turn off broadcast? Why?’

At the sudden request to turn off the broadcast, the slime tilted its body.

Feeling the tilting slime’s reaction with the hand bone, Kkanjuk immediately conveyed the next words.

[I don’t want to show what I’m about to do to other viewers. Because I’m embarrassed.]

‘Embarrassed!’

The emotion the slime had never directly experienced, embarrassment.

But the slime that had seen human life from the life at the Rudendion count mansion until now knew what the concept of being embarrassed was.

Above all, because it was a request from Kkanjuk who had helped it several times and treated it kindly.

‘Got it!’

The slime immediately turned off the broadcast.

Confirming right away that the broadcast was turned off, Kkanjuk conveyed thanks to the slime.

[Mallang-nim, thank you.]

And from the black space Kkanjuk fully revealed his form.

It was a skeleton wearing a tattered robe.

But it possessed powerful death aura and mana that made the atmosphere tremble, and was floating round and round in the air.

The lich that was the Heavenly Law mage Ventus Frail.

Kkanjuk released his hand from the slime.

At the same time he wrapped the slime with mana and floated the slime gently.

‘Wow!’

At the experience of its whole body being piled with mana and floating in the air, the slime exclaimed and enjoyed it.

The slime was placed on Kkanjuk’s palm bone that was gently facing upward.

“Don’t tell me...”

Intense death aura and mana.

A skeleton wearing a robe.

Not only floating its own body in the air but also skillful mana manipulation enough to float another’s body in the air using mana.

Amelia knew an existence capable of such acts.

“Lich!”

The monster called the end of a great mage who fell.

A monster no different from legend that had never appeared even once since being subjugated after appearing hundreds of years ago.

Lich.

Although she had never actually seen one, the skeleton that appeared before her eyes was emitting a terrifying presence.

“L, l, lich!? If it’s a lich it’s a monster that only appears in legends!”

At the word lich, Paulen gathered mana and strengthened his whole body.

So that he could protect Amelia anytime if the lich attacked.

And Kkanjuk’s jaw bone moved and a sinister voice echoed in the room.

-I came because I felt rare mana. I didn’t expect its identity to be a slime. Moreover, to think the Saintess and Paladin would be in one place here.

Kkanjuk’s acting began.
