Chapter 54: 54 Episode 8: Completed the request for subjugation

...... Huh, that's pretty strenuous.

Running this far at full speed, I'd be out of breath.

After 20 minutes of running, the forest came into view.

It's just past here and we're almost to the village of Helimere.

All right, let's use it then.

I'll use the Empty Pace to walk high enough to cross the forest.

"Gosh, this is really hard to walk through.

After a few minutes of whining and struggling, I realize something .

'Wouldn't this go well with ...... wind magic?'

Maybe I didn't have the talent to do it, but it seems I wouldn't be able to move around very well with just the Empty Pace.

That's why I use the Empty Pace as a way to stay afloat.

Instead of trying to walk by yourself, you use the wind as your motive force to move around.

That's not a bad idea.

All you have to do is try it out.

Generate wind magic to push you back.

I'll try a less powerful one at first to see what happens.

"Oh, whoa!

It moves pretty good.

It feels like it's floating around.

It's more like flying than walking in the sky.

The left and right sides of the body are ...... and that's fine.

He was able to move left and right by changing his direction by himself .

The amount of magic the Skywalker consumes is only slightly more than the amount of super recovery, so it doesn't seem like you need to worry too much about it.

In fact, the more wind magic you use, the less magic you use.

This movement method might be quite useful in real life as well.

We got an unexpected harvest.

Then let's fly to Hermia village.

◇

...... I realized that it was a bad idea to fly to the village of Helimia.

I'm glad I was able to keep my cool on the flight.

I landed near the village of Helimia and then ran to Helimia Village.

"What the hell are you doing?

In front of the village of Hellimere stood a sentry who guarded the village.

When he noticed me, he was alerted and pointed his spear at me.

"I am an adventurer who has accepted a request to kill the giant slime.

Then I handed the guards a request form.

...... It's exactly what our village requested. ...... But why are you here without a carriage?　That's quite a distance!　It must be a day's walk to get there!

'I've been running instead of walking.

'Have you been running ......?　...... that distance?

Yes.

I expected to be somewhat surprised, but not to this extent: .......

...... Well, he doesn't seem like a bad person, so it's okay. The village chief is in a house at the back of the village, so you probably won't get lost.

Thank you.

I bowed my head and headed to the village chief's house.

When I arrived, I briefly greeted the village chief and he seemed quite anxious.

''You're still a rookie adventurer!　...... Are you sure you're okay with this?

It's only a bit of giant slime.

I looked up the giant slime in Wisdom and found it wasn't very threatening.

"It seems to have a lot of oomph, but... ...... Oh well. Can you go and do your best to put your life first?

Yes, of course.

So I guess the chief was worried about me.

He's a kind man.

Perhaps it's because of the kindness of the chief's personality that the village residents all live with smiles on their faces.

Seeing this reminded me of my family.

I should at least go see them before I join the school.

I muttered to myself about that and headed for the plain where the giant slime was.

◇

On the plain, there were many moving giant slimes.

It's an interesting sight to see the plain covered with big blue objects.

There are more than five of these things.

There seemed to be about 15 of them.

Giant slimes rarely turn on people and are not very cautious.

However, there seems to be a concern that they may unintentionally attack Helmia Village.

Just like this time, it seems that a number of giant slimes appear once in a while, and they are regularly requested to be killed.

The request was for five of them, but it'd be best to kill all of them.

There's not much difference between five and fifteen, so there's no problem.

The weak point of the giant slime is its core, located in the center of its body.

If you attack it, you can easily defeat it.

However, the mucus of a giant slime is acidic, and attacking it will cause damage to many adventurers.

It also has excellent magic resistance, so its attacks are limited to physical attacks.

It can be defeated with a relatively powerful spell. ......

Well, all you have to do is hit the nuke. Then it's easy to attack.

I'll take my sword and aim it at the core of the giant slime.

Then he threw the sword as hard as he could.

As the sword pierced the core, the mucus of the giant slime melted away.

It was a random strategy I had come up with, but throwing things to defeat it might be the right answer.

Collect the core magical stone and put it in the item box.

By presenting this magical rock to me, it proves that you've defeated the giant slime.

After touching the remaining mucus, it didn't seem to cause any harm to the human body, so I put it into the Item Box.

After that, I repeated the same process.

After killing the 15th one, I heard a message.

You have acquired the "Throwing" skill.

...... had unintentionally acquired some skills.

I went back to the chief's house to report the completion of the attack.

That's quite fast. Was it too tough to take on a giant slime?

No, they've already taken down the guy.

Nuh-uh?　I haven't been down for ten minutes yet!

Well, it's an enemy with a weakness, so it was relatively easy to defeat. Well, this is the magical stone for the proof of defeat.

Fifteen magic stones were removed from the Item Box.

Where did you get them from, Master?　And the number of magic stones won't be more than five!

'There were 15 giant slimes, so I took them all out.

'Nah!　You're telling me you took down 15 of them in this short time?

That's true. The giant slime is easy to take out if you attack the core.

"...... Hmmmm. It doesn't look like he's lying. But it's also a bit far from the truth. Can you ask the people in the village to check and see if there's any giant slime?

Go ahead. Oh, and if there's a giant slime, I'll take them out while I'm at it.

"You have a lot of stomachs." ......

Then the chief called a young man and sent him to the grassland.

Ten minutes later, the young man returned.

"Giant slime, we didn't find it anywhere!

"Thank you for the confirmation. ...... So, it turns out that all your reports are correct.

I'm glad to see that the giant slime is gone.

You are so kind to care so much about the Giant Slime for this village. Here's your reward.

The village chief was given 1 gold coin .

The request was for five giant slimes and thirty silver coins, so this reward is too much, no matter how you look at it.

''Um, this is a gold coin. ......?

You killed 15 of them, not 5.

Wouldn't that be 90 pieces of silver?

Ten pieces of silver on the difference is my way of saying thank you and apologizing for doubting you.

It's bad enough we have to say no now.

Besides, it's a great offer.

So we'll take it.

Thank you!

Hmm. I hope you'll make it big as an adventurer.

With a wrinkled smile, the village chief said so.

...... A village in Helimere.

It's a nice village.
