“…This is bad . ”
Just as the guild worker had said, the situation at the west gate was desperate .
Behind the gate, many Adventurers were being treated for wounds while the fighting could be heard on the other side .
We were at a disadvantage, to begin with, if we lost even more Adventurers to injuries, we wouldn’t be able to hold them back anymore .
–But this was no time to shrink back .
And so I rushed forward to help them .
‘…Slimes . Get up on that wall!’
‘Okay!’
‘We just need to watch?’
‘Yeah . Stay up there! I will transfer the magic . ’
First, I threw the slimes up on a nearby wall .
Like this, we would be able to watch over the battlefield .
Thanks to the slimes, I was able to attack a wide range of areas, and so I decided to look for places that needed my help the most instead of focusing on a single area .
And like that, I used ‘Shared Senses’ to scope out the battlefield and transfer magic where it was needed .
It was the most effective way of offering support .
“Magic Transfer—Fireball!”
Once I saw that all of the slimes were on the wall, I used Magic Transfer to fire off a round of Fireb.a.l.l.s at a group of monsters that were about to attack some nearby Adventurers .
As intended, they turned into a dark crisp with one hit .
“We’re saved! …are those Yuji’s slimes?”
The Adventurers turned around…their eyes widened as they saw the slimes .
In the meantime, there were other Adventurers that were in trouble . And so I used the slimes to transfer magic again .
“The slimes really are using fire… Yuji’s slimes were able to do that!?”
“Maybe that’s what Gale meant by slimes who could spit out fire…”
And I was nearly exposed as the person who helped Gale .
Well, it’s not like I did anything wrong, so it wasn’t a problem .
“Woah! Those slimes are strong!”
“And they seem to help us whenever we’re in trouble!”
“Now! Let’s go for a counterstrike!”
Once the slimes had gotten them out of a dangerous situation, the Adventurers were able to return to focusing on attacking .
And while we weren’t able to drive the monsters back, we were able to stop them from advancing any closer .
In the meantime…
Sorry to keep you waiting!”
“I’ll make up for the lost time!”
Adventurers that had been treated for their wounds started to return to the frontlines .
The medicine that was made from the Dria flowers was incredibly potent .
With our fighting force restored, the once crumbling defense line began to recover .
And it was during that time that the Proud Wolf contacted me .
‘Yuji! We’ll arrive in one minute!’
‘We can see the town now!’
‘Don’t attack us!’
…So I wouldn’t have to buy time anymore .
Once the Proud Wolf arrived, it would take maybe two minutes to put the slimes in position…
“I will activate the magic in three minutes! I need you all to be behind the gates by then!”
“Understood!”
“Alright!”
The Adventurers answered .
“I will relay the message to the other gates!”
A guild worker went to tell the other Adventurers of the order .
Now, it was almost time to use h.e.l.lfire of Death and some new magic .
