I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 75

Upon entering the boss room, a vast space of about 30 meters on each side stretched out before me. Icicles were growing all over the ceiling and floor.

In the center of the room, a woman was sitting on a long chair, like one you’d see in a traditional teahouse.

Her skin was pale white, with sharp blue eyes that had an intense look. Her light blue hair was tied up, and her white kimono was accented with blue snowflake patterns.

“Hoh, a tiny little thing has appeared. I am the Snow Woman. If you know your place, you may turn around and leave.”

She must be the boss here.

She looked down at us with a fearless smile.

“Impossible! I came here to defeat you and move forward!”

“Heh heh, your courage is commendable. Shall I test if your strength matches that confidence?”

An oppressive chill emanated from her, carrying an aura of intimidation.

(This is bad… I can feel that she’s far stronger than any monster I’ve faced before.)

“Let’s get this over with, so I can move forward.”

Half of our team enhanced the earth bullets, while the other half created earthen walls to defend against the Snow Woman’s assault. The Snow Woman shot numerous ice projectiles and summoned ice walls.

The earth bullets chipped away at the ice wall, while the ice bullets slowly wore down the earth walls.

(What!? She’s casting two spells simultaneously!?)

Normally, you can only cast one spell at a time. After creating the earth wall, I can cast the earth bullet, but casting two spells simultaneously is impossible.

The earth wall was being worn down faster than the ice wall, and the slimes were quickly rebuilding it.

“Damn it! Aren’t we supposed to have the advantage with our element!?”

“Hohoho, this is the difference in our abilities. Hurry up and repair the walls, or my ice will break through!”

I enchanted my tentacles with earth magic, and the bronze spear joined the attack, but even then, her attack power was far superior.

“You can use magic decently, but that’s all there is to it.”

(My magic is running low… If I’m struggling, the baby slimes must be close to running out of power.)

“How’s your mana holding up?”

“Yes! We can still go on!”

There was no confidence in their voice. This is probably the best time to fall back.

“Retreat! We’re pulling back!”

“But…!”

“We don’t need to push ourselves right now! Retreat!”

“You did well, but you’re still far from passing. Train harder and come back; I’ll be ready anytime.”

We withdrew from the boss room.

“I see… Even by exploiting the boss’s weakness, it still turns out the boss is stronger.”

Mika listened to my battle report and started analyzing the situation.

“So, Father, have you decided on your next move?”

“Yeah, next, we’ll go with everyone who can fight.”

“I think that’s a good idea, Father. Battles are won by numbers. But—”

I consulted with Michael while preparing for the rematch with the Snow Woman.

— A few days later

“Legos, sorry, but tomorrow I will send all the slimes back to their home.”

“Lord Cruz, did something happen?”

“I just need a little extra help, no need to worry. I’ll be back for sure.”

“Understood. I’ll pray for your safety.”

I’m not really planning to overdo it that much…

・The boss is ridiculously strong

・The battle is all about numbers, brother.
