Chereads / The Ancient Shield Warrior / Chapter 35 - First monster

Chapter 35 - First monster

As we could see the slime creeping slowly toward the creature, we paused our trek.

Myra: "Hmmm... Is this a monster?"

Ayla: "I think it is..."

Myra: "But it moves so slow though."

Aria: "What is it?"

Ayla: "It was a slime. But it moves really slow."

Myra: "Could you just kill this slim fast, Yugo? It's just a weak monster I suppose."

Aria: "Yea. It better for you too to gain another level and catch us."

Yugo: "Alright..."

How do I command the creature to attack?

System: "You must tell the beast to attack by calling its name."

Ah, I get it.

Yugo: "Conjuration of Summoner, attack!"

... *The slime continues to move slowly despite nothing happening.

Creature: "Hwagk?" *The monster turned to look at me, perplexed by what I had said.

Eh? Am I doing it wrong?

System: "The creature was known as a summoner. You didn't say the creature's name; you said the creature's name."

How do I know that one... *Flat expression.

Yugo: "Summoner, attack!"

Creature: "Hwagk!" *The beast at last comprehends. When it gets close enough, it swings its right hand toward the slime.

*PLAK!

the scraping sound made by the claw on the slime. After the creature attacks it with its claw, the slime burns quickly. The slime stopped moving while making a squeaking noise.

*Plup...

The fire that was burning the slime suddenly goes out, but the slime body simultaneously splits into two bodies. It also cuts the size in half. The thing was moving quicker than before as the slime came closer.

It moved faster!

Ayla: "Myra! It moving faster!" *As she took cover behind Myra.

Myra: "Not that fast though." *Myra took a stance as she spoke.

Yugo: "Summoner! Attack!" *I quickly said it.

Creature: "Hwagk!" *The beast swings its claw once more. However, they use both of their claws this time.

*PLAK!

The slime quickly screamed once again and stopped moving as the heat burned their body. It suddenly divided into new slime, and when it did so, the fire went out as well. There are currently four little slime crawlers.

"*Squeak!"

The thing is being approached as the slime is screaming. It moves much more quickly and leaps directly toward the creature.

*PLAK! *PLAK!... *PLAK! *PLAK!

Creature: "Hwaa..."

Each piece of slime struck the monster individually. After being hit, the beast vanished. Once more, the vision became somewhat black, but the adjacent flame is still illuminating the scene with the slime.

That was fast!!!

Myra: "Thunder." *One of her blades suddenly materialized, and she grabbed the grip with her left hand.

Myra: "Flash of lighting." *The blade is accompanied by a little thunder.

*SRING!

"*Squeak!"

She rapidly makes one swift cut through all of the sludge. After being struck by the sword, the slime screams. After striking those scum, the sword's lights also vanished.

The filth didn't vanish. It appears more like the slime is perplexed about what just happened.

Your move is cool Myra, but not the aim. *Flat expression.

Aria: "Did something happen?"

Myra: "U-Ummm..."

"*Squeak!"

The slime makes an attempt to leap and bite Myra. When Myra realized the slime was jumping toward her, she rapidly avoided each leap strike and avoided being struck.

That's a quick reaction, I'll be honest.

Yugo: "Aria, could you attack with your magic?"

Aria: "But how?"

Yugo: "Just do it!"

Aria: "O-Okay... Fire burn!"

The tiny circle mysteriously appeared directly beneath one of the slimes. And the filth is immediately burned. Because of that, the slime screamed before dissipating into ashes.

Does it work?

Myra attacks one of the other slimes with a swift sweep of her blade. The slime screamed as it struck and then vanished.

Yugo: "Again, Aria."

Aria: "Fire burns!"

Similar to earlier, one slime was burned, screamed, and then vanished. Myra immediately swings her sword once more to finish off the final slime.

How it just works? *I was puzzled as to how the circle showed up exactly where Aria had previously thrown the slime, below.

Hmmm... I should try something about this later.

Ayla: "Did you hurt, Myra?"

Myra: "I'm fine." *After slicing the last of the slime, she gently stood up.

Aria: "Is it dead?"

Yugo: "Yea, it all disappeared."

Wait... how she can take out the sword in just a second?

System: "Do you mean that she could just pull out the sword and cast the magic name right away?"

Yea...

System: "She undoubtedly retained the names of the magic and the weapons. The speed is due to this."

Oh... So it is possible to just do that without opening up the system...

System: "Yes."

Myra: "What are you looking for, Yugo?"

Yugo: "Eh? Ah... No, nothing... It's just your move is cool." *I mention how she dodges.

Myra: "Wha-Whatever... Just cast the think again quickly." *She thought I praising her attack move.

Yugo: "Aaa yea..."

Why she gets embarrassed...

suddenly tightens its grip on my arm. After hearing that word, she appears irritated.

Yugo: "A-aiii wait wait wait... Why you squished my hand that hard all of a sudden??" *She relaxes her hold.

Aria: "I don't know. I just heard something I don't like."

This girl is scary.

Ayla: "What is this?" *She was seated close to the area where the slime vanished.

Yugo: "Is that an item the slimes dropped?" *I'm leading Aria as I draw nearer while holding her hand.

Myra: "Probably... It drops four items."

Aria: "Ummm... Can I open my blindfold for a second? I want to see it though."

She tries to see the object by opening up the fabric. The object was the size of three large ants walking side by side and had the shape of a double-terminated piece of crystal. It had a brown hue. It's pretty substantial, even if it appears small.

Aria: "So this is the crystal that can be exchanged later..." *She takes the four crystals, her hand pointing in the direction of her face.

Yugo: "How much is it worth for each of them?"

Aria: "I'm not sure. We should bring this if we go back." *As she turned toward me.
