Chapter 195 – / 195

The giant slime did not move at all with Minwoo on top of its body. Lucia was curious about how Minwoo made the monster follow him, but that wasn’t important right now. She spoke to Agnes and Merita with her eyes fixed on the slime.

“As everyone knows, a slime’s weak point is the core located somewhere inside its body. If the core is not destroyed directly, it will quickly regenerate no matter what attack it receives.”

“But this guy’s body is so big that I doubt the sword could even reach its core…”

It was just as Agnes said. When I looked inside the giant slime’s body, I saw a small sphere that clearly looked like a nucleus, but it was located in the exact center of the giant slime’s body, so it was nowhere near where the wooden sword could reach.

“Then how about going inside the slime’s body and attacking it?”

“…”

Lucia and Agnes looked at her with puzzled expressions at Merita’s opinion. On the other hand, Minwoo, who heard those words, giggled and said.

“Oh, that’s a good idea? Why don’t you give it a try?”

“No.”

“Hey…”

Agnes tried to dissuade Merita and glare at Minwoo. Minwoo just grinned and laughed.

After thinking carefully, Lucia gave her opinion.

“I will use attack magic to temporarily destroy part of the slime’s body. Then, Agnes will quickly destroy the core before it can regenerate.”

“Indeed… I will do so.”

Agnes nodded, seeming to like Lucia’s strategy.

Merita said, raising her hand.

“What about me?”

“Merita… Just wait. We have to prepare in case Agness fails.”

“Wow..”

With Merita as a spare, the three devised a plan in which Agnes would rush towards her slime at Lucia’s sign her. Minwoo was watching that scene leisurely.

Lucia started chanting.

“– —- —“

Agnes took a ready stance so that she could run out as soon as Lucia used magic.

“Hey, is this so bloody? What are you going to do if the building is destroyed?”

Minwoo grumbled as he watched Lucia chanting her magic, but she never stopped chanting. Perhaps she thought there was no preemptive attack from the slime side, and the chanting was getting quite long.

Soon Lucia shouted her starter word and held out her staff.

“Fireball!”

At that moment, a fireball the size of a human head was created from the tip of Lucia’s staff. It immediately started flying towards the giant slime.

“Wow, that’s great? But I don’t think I can do any significant damage to this slime with that much magic…”

Minwoo looked down from above the slime’s body and muttered. It was certainly true, as Minwoo said, that the fireball looked dwarfed compared to the slime’s huge body. Moreover, slime’s body is basically made up of water. This is not an opponent that fire magic works well with.

But Lucia’s magic was not over.

Just before Lucia’s fireball touched the slime, she cast another spell. This time the chanting was very fast.

“Counterspell!”

And surprisingly, the moment Lucia shouted her starter word, her fireball exploded on the spot.

“Wow..!?”

Minwoo started and fell backwards. Part of the leg was stuck in the slime’s body, so it didn’t fall off, but it was enough to chill his liver.

“Now, Agnes!”

“Haaa..!”

With Lucia’s sign, Agnes rushed towards the slime like lightning. Due to the explosion, nearly half of the slime’s body was shattered into fragments and scattered around the area. Lucia attacked the slime with explosive power rather than fire, taking advantage of its property of exploding on the spot when the fireball magic is canceled with a counterspell.

The slime seemed unable to react to the sudden explosion and was unable to move the core from its center to another location.

Agnes did not miss the opportunity. Agnes threw up his entire body and stabbed the wooden sword towards the core. Fortunately, the core was within reach of the wooden sword. The jumping power turned into energy and penetrated the exact center of the core.

“It’s a success..!”

Lucia and Merita were also happy at Agnes’ shout out to her. Soon, the water that forms the slime will lose its strength and disperse.

That didn’t happen.

“W-what..? Wow..!”

“Anes..!?”

Rather than scattering, the slime’s body quickly began to recover its shape. As the body that had been scattered in the explosion regained its original shape, even Agnes’ body began to be involved. Agnes was scared and tried to get away, but much of his lower body she had already been eroded by the slime.

“Huh, why..! You clearly destroyed the core?”

Haha..!”

Minwoo held his stomach and laughed out loud. When Lucia saw that, she realized something was wrong.

“This is why practical combat is important. If you can deal with all monsters with just the knowledge you have learned in theory, there is no need for heroes.”

“Ugh…”

Lucia had nothing to say. But how?

The first to notice the correct answer was Agnes, who was closest to the slime.

“Seo, really..?”

Agnes looked at the place where the core she had just destroyed was in disbelief. There, the remains of the core remained in the slime’s body.

No, it wasn’t nuclear remnants.

“Soo, crystal ball..?”

It was like that. What Agnes destroyed was not the slime’s core, but only the crystal ball that Minwoo had arbitrarily inserted into the slime’s body. The three people arbitrarily assumed that since the crystal ball was in the exact center of the slime’s body, it must be the nucleus. It was a fatal mistake.

“Hehe… Since you have never actually seen the slime’s core, you are fooled by this simple trick. The real core is right here.”

Minwoo pointed behind himself. There was a backrest that the slime had formed with its own body for Minwoo, and the core was located inside it. From where the three people first stood, it was a blind spot and invisible.

Minwoo said sarcastically.

“It’s a shame that this was training. If it had been actual combat, you would all have become food for slime. Do you admit it?”

“Everyone, shut up! If you hadn’t controlled the slime in the first place, the monster wouldn’t have such intelligence…”

What Lucia said also made sense. There is no way an ordinary slime would be intelligent enough to pull off this level of trickery.

But it didn’t matter to Minwoo.

“That’s a lame excuse. The losers need to be punished appropriately.”

“Aaaaah!”

“Anes!”

Agnes’ body was instantly swallowed by the slime. Lucia quickly chanted magic.

‘It was a mistake to reveal the location of the nucleus! I’ll punish you with nuclear weapons…!’

Since I knew that the core was where Minwoo was, there was no need to hesitate. Rather, it was convenient for Lucia because the core was exposed to the outside.

“Energy Bolt!”

Along with the starter word, golden lightning was fired from the tip of Lucia’s staff. It exploded into Minwoo’s body at the speed of a split second.

And the lightning streak disappeared as it was.

“..!”

Lucia opened her eyes wide. She couldn’t believe it. The manifested magic was completely destroyed… If it was canceled out by other magic or blocked by a shield, there would be some kind of repulsive force as a result… Even if Minwoo was a warrior, this was beyond common sense.

Minwoo shrugged his shoulders and muttered.

“Oh my… Even though you’ve always had a lot of things in store for me, you’re using such dangerous magic against people… What are you going to do if I get hit?”

“Profit…”

Lucia bit her lip in exasperation. Is it really impossible to defeat this man?

It was that time.

“Ha, student council president!”

“..?

Merita shouted, but it was already too late. Lucia was knocked out of her seat by a piece of slime that secretly approached her feet. The fragments began to move Lucia’s body to where the slime’s main body was.

“I hate it..! Ugh..!”

The slime covered Lucia’s mouth her her her, preventing her from even chanting her magic her. Soon the two became trapped in the slime’s body.

“Merita. Now we’re going to do something fun. Do you want to join in?”

“Something fun? Yes!”

“Then come here.”

When Merita, who was left alone, jumped into her slime’s body on her own, Minwoo instructed her slime to float the bodies of the three people to where he was. The slime created a large space above its body her.

“Fuha..!”

“Huh… Huh…”

“Aaaaah..! It’s fun..!”

Agnes, who was the first to be invaded by slime, exhaled harshly to replenish the lack of oxygen. On the other hand, Mary Ta was having fun as if she was riding an amusement ride and hugged Minwoo.

“Now, shall we start the penalty game? Since the heroine failed to conquer the boss, what will happen next is obvious.”

Minwoo gave the slime the following instructions with a smile on his face. Even if it was a monster that could not speak language, Minwoo could give orders through Gyeonggwangbong’s brainwashing ability and his status as a demon if he was in direct physical contact.

Minwoo conveyed the image drawn in his mind to the slime. Immediately, two irregularities appeared where Lucia and Agnes were. It wrapped around the bodies of Lucia and Agnes.

“Ugh..!?”

Not long after, the two of them were in a prone position with their entire upper bodies swallowed by the slime’s body, with their butts sticking out toward Minwoo’s direction. The legs were also stuck in the slime’s body up to the ankles, so the freedom of the body was completely restricted.

“Oh my…”

Merita, who was in Minwoo’s arms, blushed as she looked at the two people. Minwoo whispered in Merita’s her ear her her her her.

“Then… Shall we try the appetizer first before tasting the two?”

“Ah…”

Even at the mention of appetizers, Merita did not show any signs of dislike, but instead, she was happy and kissed Minwoo on the lips. As I happily watched the neglected Lucia and Agnes twisting their waists and hips to escape from the slime’s embrace.
