LRAB Chapter 26 Awakening Special
Chapter 26 Awakening Special
"Shiina, now is not the time to explain. You see how dangerous they are, right? We have to eliminate them before we can leave this place."
Xia Sheng stared at the remaining five slimes with a stern expression, explaining without turning his head.
"Eliminate? Leave? What kind of place is this?" Shiina Mahiru looked at Natsuo and couldn't help but ask.
"Shiina-kun," Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly.
"Yukinoshita-san..." Shiina Mahiru looked at her.
Both of them were very famous at school, so they naturally knew each other.
But this was the first time the two had ever spoken face-to-face, especially in a place like this.
"The situation is urgent now, this is not the time to answer your questions. Since this is your first time here, as long as you stay far away from them, you'll be fine. After that..."
Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Mahiru Shiina with a calm gaze: "He will explain to you."
Shiina Mahiru and Yukino Yukinoshita looked at each other, then nodded gently: "I understand."
She wasn't an unreasonable person; this was certainly not the time to ask questions.
"Under the snow, I've identified their weakness," Natsumi said.
"I noticed that too."
Slimes have a simple weakness: they will not attack unless you are within a certain range of them.
It's probably because their perception is low; they can't sense targets outside a certain range.
That would make things easier. Since they are not a single entity, we can lure them out one by one and defeat them one by one.
Without needing to communicate, Natsuo and Yukino Yukinoshita tacitly agreed on their plan.
"That......"
"I'll help too!" Yukino Yukinoshita said seriously.
She could tell that Xia Sheng wanted to solve everything by himself, but she wasn't going to just be a bystander and do nothing.
"But you..." Xia Sheng frowned as he looked at her.
"Don't worry, I won't act rashly. I'm just trying to draw your attention away." Yukino Yukinoshita smiled slightly at Natsuo.
Xia Sheng looked at her; her eyes held a firm gaze, as if she couldn't be persuaded.
He was also aware of Yukino Yukinoshita's personality; she was independent and insisted on her own ideas.
"I see."
It's not a good thing to bear it alone. Since He has called them to this place, He definitely didn't want them to be bystanders.
He wasn't sure if what would appear later wouldn't just be slimes, or if they would appear here alone.
If he overprotects them and keeps them like fledglings, they will only face death if something goes wrong.
Perhaps, by destroying slimes, they can also gain special abilities.
Xia Sheng had no intention of taking all the benefits, especially with them.
"That's more like it." Yukino Yukinoshita was clearly satisfied with Natsuo's agreement, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
"I'll take care of the one on the left first, and you lure the one on the right," Xia Sheng instructed.
"good!"
With Natsuo in front and Yukino Yukinoshita behind, the two slowly approached the slime, then separated to the left and right.
Shiina Mahiru stayed where she was, carefully observing the two's actions.
She's a newcomer, a newcomer; all she needs to do now is observe.
It's not appropriate to act recklessly when you don't know anything about the situation.
Xia Sheng moved directly towards the slime on the left; his reaction speed was enough to deal with its sudden attack.
Yukino Yukinoshita was aware of her physical limitations. She picked up a few scattered stones, intending to try and lure them with something.
Moving to the right, Yukino Yukinoshita stood far away and threw a small stone at the slime.
Swish!
In mid-air, when the stone was about a meter away from the slime, it suddenly leaped up and crashed into the stone.
boom--!
The stone was struck and bounced back at lightning speed like a bullet, embedding itself directly into the stone wall.
The pit was quite large, and the surrounding area was cracked.
Such immense power... Yukino Yukinoshita was startled, but also relieved.
The slime does have a weakness, and its attacks seem instinctive, without any target.
As long as she gets the direction and distance right, she can seduce it at will.
Yukino threw a stone at the other side of the slime, and sure enough, it ran into it.
Seeing that Yukino had grasped the rhythm, Natsuo felt relieved and prepared to deal with the slime.
If he resolves this quickly, it will make things easier for Yukino Yukinoshita.
Natsume took small steps, getting closer and closer. When she was about a meter away from the slime, she suddenly reacted.
Xia Sheng stopped, tensed his body, and took another step forward.
call out--!
The slime leaped up and rammed into him.
Xia Sheng immediately leaned back, easily dodging the attack, then adjusted his posture and lunged at it, throwing a punch with all his might.
With a soft "poof," Xia Sheng was dumbfounded.
Instead of the expected jelly exploding, his fist was actually deflected!
Fists won't work!
"Natsuo!"
Yukino's clear voice rang out, and Natsuo looked at her, only to see a stone flying towards him.
He grabbed it and slammed it down hard on the slime before it could react.
Splat!
This time, the slime successfully turned into jelly and settled on the ground.
Xia Sheng didn't have time to consider why his fists couldn't be used on stones; he turned his attention to the slime with a hint of blue that was originally in the center.
The other five were originally surrounding it, and they were all the same, but it was different.
By any measure, they are the targets that need to be dealt with.
Just in case it was different, Xia Sheng still cautiously probed it.
As Xia Sheng drew closer, it showed no reaction whatsoever, simply continuing to move forward obediently.
It seems to be the same as the first slime.
Xia Sheng focused his mind and stepped into the slime's detection range.
The slime reacted immediately and rammed into him.
Its speed is about the same as the white slime.
Xia Sheng dodged to the side, gripped the stone in his hand tightly, and prepared to pounce on it and finish it off.
However, an unexpected event occurred.
The slime's charge was a bit too powerful, and it crashed into a stone pillar again, sending shards of rock flying, forcing Natsumi to dodge.
Moreover, the last slime was also within the area of the rubble.
When it encountered a target, it began to rampage wildly, charging around erratically, as if it had gone mad.
Xia Sheng was unable to catch up with it or stop it.
Fortunately, neither Yukino Yukinoshita nor Mahiru Shiina were in the direction it was rushing headlong.
Xia Sheng can only deal with the blue slime first.
After being hit once, the blue slime seemed to have fallen into exhaustion and remained motionless. Without hesitation, Xia Sheng forcefully smashed the stone in his hand at it.
*Splat*
The stone struck precisely, and the slime turned into a bloody mess.
"Xia! That slime has disappeared!"
"What?"
Before Natsumi could even catch his breath, Shiina Mahiru's reminder startled him.
He hurriedly searched for the rampaging slime, but found nothing except the one that Yukino Yukinoshita was still seducing.
They've disappeared?
How could it have disappeared?
Xia Sheng felt a sense of unease.
"Take care of this one first," Yukino Yukinoshita interrupted his thoughts.
"it is good."
Suppressing his unease, Natsuo picked up a pebble and walked towards Yukino Yukinoshita.
Taking advantage of the snow, after Yukino lured the slime to attack, he aimed at where it landed and precisely hurled the stone in his hand.
Splat!
The slime turned into a puddle of jelly.
