Princess Estelle was somewhat amazed at the strange young man who rode the Night Mare.In many places, Flay would leap up and use a strange athleticism and the slimes to reach the top of branches and trees as he gathered more and more healing herbs.“A Slime Alchemist… He truly is from a world so far away.”The curios princess had been secretly using magic to gauge Flay’s strength.Flay sensed it but did not reject the scanning powers.“Master…”“It’s alright. She’ll just see my pitiful Rookie-5ish stats.” Flay chuckled.Estelle truly did see Flay's very weakened body. But Estelle was very confused.---Life Force- 22Defense- 34Strength- 12Agility/ Dexterity- ???Magic Value- 10Brute power- ???---“Why can’t I see his Dexterity and Brute power…?” Estelle couldn’t understand as her magical codex amulet could not display the stats of the man.Flay suddenly leaped off as he ran up the tree to get more herbs at the cliff's crack.Flay was able to scale the mountain easily.“His movem
The purple smoke gave out more than the pellets that Flay had once tossed out.The orcs and priests were startled at the sudden burst.The gap between Flay and the orcs was covered in smog, and the orcs that had rushed hastily began to shout and cough at the“Poison! Don’t inhale it!” The priest warned as the orcs saw the smoke appear in front.Some of the orcs who were caught in the sudden bursting smog all tried to move forward and roared.STAB! STAB!Sounds of swords stabbing and slashing could be heard, along with the cries of the orcs.One retreated back of the smog and stumbled down and began to choke and stumble.The strange smog had caused an Apprentice-8 orc to suffer a strange, painful death as he could no longer breathe.“Cast Wind!” The Bishop quickly ordered.The priest immediately harnessed a powerful breeze of wind that gathered on their staff.The staff had several strange stones that released magic. All had red, blue, and green crystals, while the one called Bishop ha
Kairo was annoyed.He was confused about how Flay found a way to open the secret door when even he couldn’t!“Master… how did you know that using a sword and sticking it there would work?”“It was using darkness. I could see the parts where darkness was most weakest. Since it was a mouth, I just have to make it shout, right? I stabbed it, injected the darkness to counter it, and it opened up.” Flay chuckled.“I… can’t believe that worked! How did you know where to hit?”“I just guessed. It felt right…”Kairo sighed. It was the same old answers his masters tend to give. These moments defied logic as they were the blessed ones.Estelle was startled and shouted as they fell down the strange throat of the beast.As they were moving down the throat, the throat began to squeeze and catch them, and a door below them opened, and they finally fell into a dark dungeon.Estelle was still confused at their landing and had fallen off Stryder.But when she regained her focus…SLASH!Flay quickly at
The room of the Bishop held many tall stacks of books and various elements.It was all immediately taken away as Flay used the Magic Lamp to bring in all the items inside. He touched them and allowed the Lamp's magic to draw them in.“Kairo, could you go ahead and take a peak at their planning?”Flay asked as he left the barren room.“Already on it, Master.” Kario began to use its slime body and began to ‘eat’ the books in his slime body.“Woah. I can feel great energy on these crystals!”“This is what makes this planet a strong region for wizards. Because the magic in the air of this world is more potent, many naturally forming crystals of magic would form. They would use these energy crystals as a power source and fill it up with their mana.”“Can we use this as a bomb? We could blow up the mouth when we leave.”“A bomb? With it harm the mouth of this base?”“Yeah. Just as how I was able to make it squeal with a stab of the sword, I think I can plant the bomb near the heart of that
As Flay and Estelle raised up the throat with the two passageways opened, the torch fell below towards the oil-soaked floor.VOOOSHHH!A great flame spread out and created a towering fire that began to burn.“Now, no one could get out unless they clear out that fire. And now… for the finishing touches.” Flay brought out one of the energy crystals that contained a massive amount of mana.“A Brilliant Grade Energy Crystal!” Estelle was surprised. But the crystal seemed strange. It seemed as if it was shaking, and the mana around it was becoming wilder and wilder.Flay dropped the crystal just as they were about to reach the top.“This should do it…”Flay had already estimated how high he needed to drop the crystal.Stryder leaped out of the screaming mouth and left the top of the mountain as the explosion occurred, and the mouth of the dark beast closed and sealed the mountain.The crystal fell and reached the part of the throat where the strange creeping mouth creature was tucked away
It had been nearly a day since their grand attack on the secret fort.The two were now camping at a cave on top of the mountain. They were high up, and the path was a nest for large aviary beasts the group had slain.Against a Battle Steed, the F-ranked monsters were all easily slain, and the group even had a dinner.Flay was busy preparing the meal. Although the monster was unique and new to him, he could still gauge which parts were edible as he was a Tamer.Princess Estelle watched in amazement, and her mouth was watering as she saw how the large bird was cooked into strange ingredients.Along the way, Kairo had already prepared to gather various herbs, leaves, plants, fruits, and some vegetables growing about.The Magic Lamp proved useful as it housed many of the items and spoils that Flay had taken.A little kitchen was created at that cave, right on top of the mountain and unreachable to most beasts.“Where is your Steed?”“Still headed out to collect more herbs at my command. T
“Princess!” Vallenhal shouted loudly as he noticed the two people emerging from the valley afar.It was the Princess of the kingdom! The miraculous appearance caused the assassin to shout in joy.“Estelle is alive! Estelle is alive!” Vallenhal began to weep as his fears were proven to be untrue.“At least he’s the good guy.” Flay chuckled as he could see Vallenhal's sincere joy.“You were considering him a traitor? I doubt he is. He is... my half-brother. And he treats me dearly.” Estelle answered.“...You mean adoptive brother.” Flay narrowed his eyes.“...?! How did you...?!”“Hm? I was right? It was a shot in the dark. You two just feel... like a different breed.”Estelle was confused, but Flay marched out ahead, and Estelle followed.The approaching escort noticed Flay moving ahead.“My lord... That boy... Is he someone who has kidnapped our Princess?”“No...Estelle follows him willingly. This boy is an ally that must have helped and saved the Princess. Treat him with respect.”“.
Vallenhal had taken the Princess and quickly moved out.But this was Vallenhal’s plan to quickly separate Estelle from the strange man. This was also so that he could personally talk to Estelle.“Princess...” Vallenhal began. There was some worry in his voice. The Princess wouldn’t randomly attack someone just like that. But now, for this strange man, she did attack Vem!“How often do I have to tell you to call me sister or at least call me by name if we are alone together.” Estelle frowned.Vallenhal was surprised at Estelle's sudden tone.“Erm... Sis. That man you have... How do I put it... He’s...?”“Do you think you can defeat him?” Estelle suddenly asked.“Wha- what?”“Flay. He said that you’d notice. Is it... something about strong people that they see things beyond the norm?”“...So you know that that youth isn’t normal.”“No. I said that he helped me and saved me. But in truth, he takes about eighty percent of the credit. I may have launched the killing blow to kill the bishop
