I Found Tiny Dungeon That Can Only Produce Metal Slime
CH 75
Chapter 75: The Most Sturdy Metal
「Crap… With this number of monsters…」
The president grit his teeth. The dozens Valis that came from four directions had blocked their retreat path.
「Yuuma, can’t you use that power again?」
「… I can’t. I think I already used it up!」
The Valis stood on their way. At this rate, everyone was going to be killed.
「Yuuma, lead the way from that direction. I’ll follow you from behind while protecting Aisha.」
「Understood!」
The Valis moved at once. Yuuma and the president are moving in two groups.
The president pulled Aisha’s hand, hiding behind the rock. Yuuma slipped in between two Valis before him.
He had to admit that Vali was an extremely powerful monster, albeit rather slow.
He could run as long as he didn’t get caught. Was what Yuuma thought but――
「Gah!?」
Something hit his head. He squatted unintentionally upon receiving a strong impact on the back of his head.
「――What’s now!?」
When he looked around, he saw a splinter of the rock rolled on the ground. When he turned around, he saw the surrounding Valis raised rock above their head.
“They’re quite smart huh.” That was what Yuuma felt as he tried to stand immediately to run again but he felt as if his feet were rooted on the spot.
His feet were caught by one of the Vali, and another one pinned his shoulders and arms.
He couldn’t even shake them off since they’re so strong.
「D… Dammit! Let go off me!!」
One Vali rushed forward and went all out to attack Yuuma. His body bent due to the impact of the attack.
He couldn’t move since the Valis were already locked on his limbs. Another Vali approached from behind, trying to bite his shoulder.
Though his steel body didn’t get damaged, it was only a matter of time before his ability was put on cooldown.
The moment his metallization wore off, the Valis would tear his body from limb to limb. Imagining such an end alone was enough to send chills running down into Yuuma’s spine.
「Yuuma!」
The president who had almost reached the entrance of the floor returned while raising up his hexagonal staff.
But he couldn’t win against the Valis by himself. Nevertheless, the president didn’t flinch at all. His hexagonal staff glowing with blue coloured light, the sign of the invocation of water magic.
「HANG IN THERE, I’M GOING TO SAVE YOU NOW!!」
The president swung his staff at Vali. No matter how tough a monster, they would still stagger back after receiving a strong hit loaded with so much magical power.
That attack also unleashed water spray on the surrounding area.
「UWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!」
The president brandished his hexagonal staff again. But, his second attack failed since the vali caught his staff, and their physical strength was far above the president.
「Dammit!」
The president punched Vali right in the face. Alas, it was ineffective against monsters with a body of steel. On the other hand, the president almost broke his knuckle since he literally gave his all to punch such a steel-like skin.
Seeing the president’s pained face, the Vali tried to catch him this time.
――Oh no, at this rate, the president is going to die! Something, I need to do som—
Yuuma who saw that was feeling desperate. He wondered if he could do something about this situation with his remaining power.
He kept thinking in the seemingly prolonged time but, he really had no idea what to do in this situation.
And just when he was about to reach his limit, he suddenly recalled that giant slime.
“I should be able to become much more powerful if I used the power of that giant metal slime…” That was what he thought as the figure of that giant slime reappeared in his mind.
――Oh right. If that’s the case
I can use my whole body to attack the valis that held me back.” That was what Yuuma’s felt as his body started to undulate, as if his whole body turned into liquid metal.
「TAKE THIS!!」
It was an all out attack using his whole body. Yuuma unleashed countless long and sharp thorns from his whole body like some sort of sea urchin, pierced through the body of the valis who held him on the spot.
The Valis that held him raised a death throes.
They released Yuuma while spitting some blood from their mouth, staggered back one to two steps. Yuuma pulled back his thorns, and transformed his right hand into a short sword.
Since the current him could easily imagine the image of a sharp blade, the result was a sharper blade than when he tried it out for the first time.
「UWAAAAAAAAAAAA!」
Yuuma chased after the vali who staggered back. Pushing his right hand that transformed into a short sword, and plunged the blade into Vali’s chest.
「GAAAAAAAAAAAA!」
Yuuma’s body was that of metal slime, the monster with the toughest metal body. That’s why the “Sword” made from such metal could literally tear through almost all material.
His sword hand pierced through Vali’s steel chest, and through their heart.
Seeing the monster groaning in pain, Yuuma transformed his left hand. He imagined a tekkou with a long sword growing from it. [TL: 手甲— The thing that Yuuma made is something similar with Velvet Crowe’s gauntlet blade]
Thus, a long sword formed from the center of the tekkou.
Yuuma used that long sword to decapitate Vali’s head.
Blood-like liquid sprayed as the vali lost its head, and fell on their back before they turned into sands, and vanished from this world.
There was an alternate method to beat them aside from using brute strength. A “Magic Ore” falling on the place where that vali just fell.
Yuuma picked that up and ran toward the president immediately.
Two valis were rushing at the president. Yuuma used his right hand sword to slash on one of the vali on their flank. And pointing the five fingers of his left hand to the other vali.
His fingers elongated, turned into long and thin five spikes, and stabbed on the back of the other vali.
The monster raised a howl and turned around to see who dared to hurt them. Yuuma’s fingers that had already returned to normal became tekkou with a long sword growing from its center again, and he used that sword to cut the vali’s throat.
That moment, the president who gained some leeway used his hexagonal staff to beat the second vali. The monster staggered backward as metal splinters burst out from their body.
「Yuuma!」
Yuuma noticed something when hearing the president’s voice. When he turned around, he saw the one armed vali from before rushed at him.
But, Yuuma remained calm and composed despite the fast approaching vali.
He crouched down with his right hand on the ground to dodge Vali’s attack. The moment that one armed Vali’s upper body was right above him, he unleashed hundreds of sharp thorns from his back.
The vali whose body got stabbed by hundreds of sharp thorns couldn’t do anything but wailing in pain.
And fell powerlessly on the ground when Yuuma extracted his thorns. As finisher, Yuuma used his right sword hand to stab into that vali’s chest, and cut its throat with his left tekkou blade.
That one-armed vali shed a lot of blood before turning into sand, and vanished.
「I did it…」
「Let’s escape!」 Said the president to remind Yuuma after the former picked up the falling magic ore and ran toward the entrance.
「Crap… With this number of monsters…」
The president grit his teeth. The dozens Valis that came from four directions had blocked their retreat path.
「Yuuma, can’t you use that power again?」
「… I can’t. I think I already used it up!」
