Chapter 90
The Trump Card
“That lizard… It seems it was able to bite me…” said the slime, with muffled anger in its voice .
While running to the Black lizard side, I check the Slime’s status .
Name: Forte Slime
Status: Alpha Poison
Ｎ曚 ：27/35
隆モ゜：144/148
玄d ：24/67
All right, he has been poisoned .
The extraordinarily fast HP recovery rate has become slower .
After I get black lizard away from the fight, I’ll finish him off .
Hearing my call, the Black Lizard starts to escape .
“I won’t let you run!! [Clay] [Slow]” [クレイ] (T . L . No idea)
A beam of Purple and Yellow light sprung towards the Lizard .
Although the purple light was slow, the yellow light was fast .
Perhaps because of the damage sustained earlier, the Black Lizard was limping and struggling to move at full speed .
Because of that, the yellow light could get up to the Black Lizard .
At that moment, the yellow light redirected itself to the Black Lizards’s legs .
The ground which was hit by the light started to glow . It started to twist and change, producing spikes .
Though the Black lizard managed to not get impaled, she still needed to bounce backwards in order to avoid it .
Then the purple light hit her back .
That was the magic which that annoying tortoise used against me, the magic which lowers your agility .
The Slime charged at the Black Lizard, which was slowed considerably by the spell .
I quickly slipped in between the Slime and Black Lizard . With my claw, I slashed the
Slimes’s body diagonally from shoulder to stomach
The slime, unaffected by my attack, grabbed the Black Lizard’s body with his tounge .
I immediately tried to cut the extended tounge with my claws . As I attempted that, black mist was released from the Slime’s mouth and enveloped the surrounding area in darkness .
There was no resistance – it seems my claws cut through the air .
“Gurugaa… . ”
Relying on intuition and senses unimpaired by the smoke, I swung my claws around .
I want to use my breath attack, but the fact that I don’t know that the Lizard is safe prevents me from goping all out . I might kill her by accident .
…
What?
Is he actually not going for the kill?
Does this fog have the ability to obfuscate my [Sence Presence]?
I stopped attacking, and focused on sharpening my senses .
When the black fog started to thin, I could grasp the position of the slime .
“Gurugaaaa”
I charged to the place where the slime’s presence was, and thrust my claws forward .
When I hit it, my claw was repelled .
[Tortoise carapace] again, huh?
When the black fog dissipated completely, I finally saw the Slime’s form clearly .
The slime body looked more angulated compared to before, and he became more transparent, loosing his green color .
The slime was only subtly shaking without moving .
I don’t know which skill he used, most likely its a skill which increases defense while abandoning movement speed .
The slime’s body look hardened . The Black lizard can be seen inside the middle part of his lower body, which looks like a spider now .
Looking at her status, Black lizard’s HP and MP is steadily decreasing . It is using [Health Drain] and [Mana Drain]!
[Gurugaaaa—tsu]
I roared and hit the Slime’s body with my claw
The wound was too shallow, the damage dealt – too low .
“Calm down! Certainly his defense has increased, however, the hardened part now looks deformed, perhaps he can be damaged because of that . ”
He doesn’t seem to have any trick to minimize the damage he receives right now, apart from his absurd defense .
[Nutcracker] is the strongest attack skill I have right now . The drawback is that it might also damage the Black Lizard .
I kicked the ground and flew with my wings to the top of the nearby tree .
Firmly aiming at the Slime’s neck, I leaped .
The sound of falling trees can be heard from behind .
Using the momentum, I put my weight on my claw .
The moment it hit Slime’s neck, my claws made soundsof breaking .
I passed the slime and landed nearby .
My claw is broken, the broken piece stuck deep in the ground
And the Slime’s head – which I severed – lies beside it
The hard body, that is the body from the neck and below, lost its form and dissolved .
I quickly turned back, thrust my hand into the slime’s body and took the Black lizard out of it
The moment I thought I had safely rescued Black lizard, the Slime’s dissolved body started to form spikes and attack me .
Although I got stabbed in many places, while holding Black Lizard, I managed to outrun it to the top of the tree .
That guy, using that cheap attack, he managed to penetrate some of my scales .
[Armor piercing] skill huh ?
Really, what a nasty guy .
“Ki—shi—“
The Black lizard looks so weak .
Looking at her status, her HP is really low .
I look to the distance and let out a small “gaa” .
The Black lizard looked at me with a mortified face, convinced that she will only be a hindrance in her current condition, she jumped to the back and used [roll] to get away from the Slime as far and fast as possible .
The Slime’s body transformed again .
He retracted the spikes and grew a top human half on top of a wolf’s body, resembling a centaur .
Although the human body still maintain its earlier androgynous traits, on its forehead, a third eye was present .
Perhaps its supposed to be the wolf’s eye, it’s similar to the appearance of the Mahaa Wolves .
“Iyaa…, that was dangerous . I was surprised a bit . I should be more cautious when fighting against an opponent which has special skills I don’t recognize . I never thought there is such a dangerous ability . However, I don’t need to worry anymore . ”
He closed his eyes, shook his small head to the right and left, then he look at me . Having a bad feeling, I checked his status .
Name：Forte Slime
Status：None
(Jumbled)：27/35
Health：148/148
(Jumbled) ：67/67
How has he recovered against the Black Lizard’s poison!?
For a brief moment, I unintetionally looked at the direction where Black lizard has escaped .
At this rate, it will be impossible to beat this Slime .
It might be necessary to call the Black Lizard for help again .
“Oi oi, Why don’t you look more carefully? Information is life you know?”
Whether he said it to annoy me or without a reason at all, I don’t know .
It doesn’t hurt me to do that, though .
To find out what he is hinting at, I check the Slime’s skill list .

There is a new skill in the Slime’s skill set .
There is no mistaking it – that skill is the Black Lizard’s [Detoxification] .
When the Black lizard was captured, he must have copied her skill, and now he can detoxify himself on his own .
Now, even the special poison won’t work against this damned Slime!
Prisoner 001 has escaped! I repeat, Prisoner 001 has escaped! This is not a drill -I repeat, this is not a drill! All posts are ordered to go on high alert . The Prisoner must be brought back into informational confinement!
If he escapes… there will be reprecussions for all of you . For all of *us* .
To work, wardens! Do not fail us! The fate of this sector rests in your ability to find and restrain this criminal!
