Even as he groaned at the pain and looked drawn to fear, Ditt's eyes saw something like intense determination.
I'm willing to do something.
That's what I thought.
"Hihi, hihi...!
The man laughed.
That was a grin that made me feel 'spared' or 'superior' somewhere, despite this situation.
"What's wrong with you?
"You think the only thing I've been given is parasitic species...?
At the same time, Ditt seemed to have bitten his back teeth hard.
For a moment, I thought it was self-harm caused by poison, but his expression showed that it was different.
"Oh man, what have you done...!?"
"Did you say that? It was given to me. I got the power...! Give me the power no one can beat!
The man's face is crooked.
It was impossible.
It's like slime or the muddy water I make, 'impossible as a person' way of twitching.
Ditt's body slips right through the net.
The man who's free. But still, he doesn't do anything to escape.
Seems like I have absolute confidence in myself right now.
"This force is still in the prototype stage... So I didn't really want to use it but I can't help it if this happens......! You guys, it's over...! Hi-hi, hi-hi...!
"What's wrong with you! You're better off dealing with the two elves!
Aletta quickly chanted, firing a rock spear.
I guess what I aimed at was her legs, her own handiwork.
But Ditt didn't try to dodge it.
Laughing with Niyaniya, he stands on the spot.
Aletta's magic pierces her legs.
But it doesn't bleed.
On the contrary, he doesn't look injured either.
Rock spears, they say, do pierce.
"Duh, what's going on..."
Aletta's face is drawn.
Ditt stays put and doesn't mind moving forward. The rock spear slipped through the man's body.
(It's like being a 'liquid human'...)
Is it true that this is also an achievement of alchemy biology?
The elf teacher standing beside him whines faintly, with no expression.
"... mud"
"Ho? Did you notice at first sight? Yes, it's mud."
Ditto's body was crooked.
So I understand what Abel says.
"Mud man...!
Apparently, this man got a body of mud.
Sure, then both the rock spears and the restraining nets will slip through.
But I don't think so, such as technology that turns people into a different kind of being.
I wonder if this kind of ultra-technology is' your kind ', though I've seen it in cellars and ice holes.
Isn't the person who gave Ditt the power and the doings the same or one of them who caused that commotion?
…………
Abel stares at the man in front of her.
As much as I thought about it, this guy would have figured it out.
"This...... Huh!
Aletta, on the other hand, seems to be attempting a magical attack twice, three times.
But it doesn't pay off.
Her releasing magic prevented her from destroying the mud.
"Ha ha...! Not even elf magic! I've got an amazing body!
Confirming his own advantage, Ditt laughed high.
And hold hands against Aletta.
When she jumped out in a hurry, there was a ton of mud on the rock that was under her feet.
At the same time, rocks all over the mud melted like waxes.
It becomes part of the mud and is absorbed into Ditto's body.
"Hey, what the...!
"As you can see. I mean, I can eat... Huh! Whatever you eat will be part of my body as it is......! Ha ha! Excellent! Excellent ability! I'm gonna swallow you, all right!
You're exulting too much, I can't stop laughing.
"At first, I was going to let him suffer with parasitic species and kill him! If that was difficult, it was planned to start to take root in the mud tsunami. But now I know they're both wrong! From the beginning, I should have swallowed it! It's better to lay down your hands directly! Besides, it's nutritious for me!
Ditt says as he looks at us.
"Start with me, I'll eat you guys! And I'll eat them all, Rülling, Gosh and Cercat! And that cleric who made the extra cure! I won't let you get away with it! All of it, all of it! I'll swallow it. Ahhh!
Those eyes didn't already look at us as' enemies to each other '.
eyes as if to see a treat on the table.
I was the one-sided predator, and I had eyes for believing in standing above the food chain.
I guess that's what I thought extra because I wouldn't even take Aletta's offense, which would be launched between them.
"Hihi, hihi...! You're the elf magician there...!? You're not attacking me? Especially since this body doesn't get any decent damage! Even if he is an elf sorcerer......!
What attitude did Ditt expect from Abel?
Stunning or futile resistance like Aletta?
Or werewolves or fears.
But my teacher reacted to none of that.
"… Warning"
"Hmm? What?
"... it is better not to use that power any more. It will be irrevocable."
Ditto, who was only Kyoton for a moment to Abel's words, then burst into laughter.
"Ha-ha-ha! Cheng Cheng. You narrowed your wits! I can't believe you're trying to circumvent the very exercise of power under the guise of calm!
Apparently, our teacher's words seemed like a kind of bluff.
So naturally, I don't have ears to listen to.
"You're so scared, my power...!
"… it is not your power, and I do not feel any particular fear in those who have been used by someone to stop being a person"
"- Huh!?"
The man's face is stained with anger.
You must have forgotten me because I was sure of my absolute superiority but I was thrown a relentless word.
Ditt's hands and feet muddy, swallowing trees and rocks, surrounding us.
Apparently it's true that if you eat it, it becomes only a part of your body, and the amount of mud, obviously, is beyond human size.
"There's an elf mage! What can you do before this mud!? You can't take me down! You can't even run away! It's just swallowed!
"… warning again. That power should not be used any further"
"Ha! If you're begging for your life, you should be more desperate!
Mud looms.
Where he swallowed tall trees and melted large rocks, 'it' happened.
"Ugh, gu gu...! Ah, head...... ugh! My head hurts. No, no, no! or body......! My body doesn't move well......!? I don't listen to you. Good, good, good!
Ditt suddenly suffered.
The mud spreads, even with a distressed look on his face.
Instead of killing us, outside...
The phenomenon of swallowing spreads to the outer periphery.
Swallow the surroundings without hesitation, just swelling.
The man, he wasn't already in the shape of a person.
It became a huge mass of mud, and part of it, there was just something like a face floating around.
"Hey, what's going on...!?"
Aletta is a wolf.
But my master remains pale even at such times.
"... the answer is simple. I myself was' eaten '"
It was a concise explanation.
But I can tell what happened to you.
I guess it's about saying that it just kept eating around and became something that just swelled away.
