“What are you saying? We’re both level 1… Even Lorely is higher level than you,” Shaki said.
“No, I-I am just a scout!” Lorely said.
“That coward won’t fight me! I win by default!” Milia shouted.
She swung down her axe from her shoulder, assuming a battle stance.
Her human-like body turned into a full fledged minotaur, as her head and limbs took on cow-like features.
Slade deflated a bit, as he was turned off by the change.
“Start the battle!” Violet said.
She let out a mighty roar, and charged straight towards Slade.
Too easy!
He spat a greasy liquid on her path with Alchemical Synthesize.
“Huh?!”
As she lost balance, he slammed her on the ground with a fist.
“Guaaaaah!” she screamed.
The troglodytes and the harpy let out cheers.
“That was a nice trick!” Shaki, the troglodyte rook, said.
Slade turned to the audience, flexing his arms.
The minotaur was embedded in the ground, and struggled out from her hole.
“Hah! Is that the dungeon’s Strongest? How unsightly!” Lorely cackled from the roof.
“Shut up! bitchbird!” Milia yelled as she leaned on her axe.
Violet clapped her hands.
“Outstanding use of your abilities! I’m proud of you, Slade!” she said.
“Wait, that was just a fluke! I want a redo!” Milia said.
“Heeeh, what a sore loser,” Lorely said.
“What are you all smug for? You’re not the one fighting,” Shaki pointed out.
“Fine. Slade, do not use any of your skills except symbiosis to fight this duel,” Violet said.
Help! Help! We got a dangerous situation.
Milia's hooves struck the ground, readying herself for another charge.
Call an ambulance!
“Heh?” she blurted before starting her run-up.
Call an ambulance, but not for me!
He took the initiative this time. He jabbed at his max range, forcing her to defend without being able to counterattack.
It felt awesome to control this gigantic golem, as it reminded him of mecha games.
The crowd got psyched by the exchange of blows, and shouted chaotically.
Milia grew impatient as her attempts at closing the distance were crushed when he made a single step back.
“Insolent!” she growled.
Her axe shone with the light from being infused with mana as it shattered Slade’s right arm.
Wow! That looked dangerous.
Slade’s left arm grabbed her body during her swing recovery, lifting her like a toy. She helplessly trashed, and her axe fell on the ground.
The golem mocked his trapped opponent with a shrug.
She glared with disdain at the slime, growling curses.
“You fucking piece of shit, stop toying with- AAAH!”
She screamed in pain as Slade tightened his grip. Her body slightly shrunk, her cow head reverting to a human-like appearance with teary eyes.
Git gud lol.
After lifting his right arm as high he could, he slammed her down.
“KAH!” The air was knocked out of her lungs.
He then jumped to belly flop into the knocked down minotaur.
“Woah!” Shaki and Lorely yelped.
Milia made an ‘I’m fucked’ expression.
And his name is JOHN CE-
“Stop!” Violet yelled.
The golem scattered midair into rocks and dust. The slime landed on Milia’s bouncy breasts.
“Ugh… Dammit, to lose against a golem...” Milia’s head fell limp as she took a deep breath.
“Nah, you lost against a toilet slime!” Lorely roared in laughter.
“Excellent work everyone. Especially Slade, you manipulated the golem with more finesse than I am able to,” Violet said.
Fight! Kill! This is the best! I can endure the lack of wifi if I can quench my frustration with destruction.
Drunk from power, Slade was eager to apply his abilities to battle, and earn more recognition from Violet.
“Milia, I’ll reward you with 50 sovereign points for this duel, but I have another job for you that will earn you 300 more points so rest well,” the warlock said as she picked up the slime.
“Is this job related to the ore mine?” Milia asked.
“That’s right. We’ll discuss it when you have recovered. Shaki, can you treat Milia’s wound? Use any medicine you want from the village hall,” Violet said.
The troglodyte rook ordered her pawns to move, helping the minotaur up to return to the forge.
The warlock whispered playfully to the slime.
“As for you, I have another reward.”
She sneakily hid the slime underneath her robe, and happily strutted back to her room.
