Chapter 681 The Disappearing Slime
The purpose of this stone statue was probably just to delay their steps, so its strength was not very strong, but it also consumed a lot of their time.
"I say, Xiaolin, the statue has stopped! Hurry up and open it and take out my streamer!"
“I’m doing it!”
Xiaolin stepped on the back of the stone statue and pulled hard at the armor on its back.
“I can’t open it! Damn, this thing is really hard…!”
"I'll help too."
Darkness walked over, pressed her hand on the other side of the statue, and shouted slogans.
"Come on, get ready! 1, 2... 3!"
There was a click.
With the concerted efforts of the two, they finally opened the back of the statue, and Aqua's ribbon fell out.
Her eyes lit up and she walked forward quickly.
"Ah, I'm finally back! Welcome back, my streamer!"
"It's great that the lost ribbon is back."
Huihui congratulated her sincerely.
Xiao Lin didn't care about her insignificant ribbon, but looked at the huge virtual screen behind her, feeling very troubled about what was going to happen next.
"The current situation is really not encouraging. The Walavi we just saw is obviously much bigger than the last time. Now that it has started to move, it means that someone should stand up and fight, right...?"
The others were also silent.
They all seemed to be troubled by the more difficult monster.
After all, except for fire and ice, that guy can withstand all attributes, and even ignores physical attacks. In addition, the size is larger than before, so the future is really uncertain...
"Ah, ah?"
Aqua put on the ribbon and asked foolishly, "Why is everyone so heavy? My ribbon is finally back, I should be happier."
"You should listen to what others say."
Kobayashi covered his forehead in pain.
This stupid goddess, not only does she cause trouble all the time, but she is also useless at critical moments and she even wasted so much time on the ribbon issue.
That’s enough.
Facing Aqua's clear but foolish eyes, Darkness said hastily, "Anyway, let's go back to Axel now. We need to meet up with Sena as soon as possible to discuss what to do next."
"Yeah, that's all we can do for now."
They packed up their equipment and ran towards Axel without taking a break.
Return to town.
The counter girls Luna and Sena were already there waiting for them to return, both with anxious and uneasy expressions.
They exchanged information.
"A super huge Walavi..."
Luna frowned.
Since Valavi's core was intact, it used the magic power absorbed from the monster to super-regenerate, and as a result, it became even larger than before.
"Then... things have gotten even worse."
Sena was also silent.
Besides Valavi, where did researcher Raf go is also a question, because the core was taken away because of that guy.
Until now, we have been trying our best to deal with Walavi, but it would be better to catch Raf as well, or in other words, Raf, who is always causing trouble, should be given higher priority than Walavi.
Based on Kobayashi's accusation, Luna commissioned the guild to issue a wanted notice, and Sena also decided to share the information with the Knights.
Regardless, Raf is now unable to move around in broad daylight, which limits his travel somewhat.
Hope it will be effective.
After doing a series of things, Sena said: "Then, let's share intelligence on the ultra-small Walavi."
According to her, she successfully subjugated dozens of super-small Walavi, and as a condition for the subjugation request, she specified adventurers above a certain level who could use ice magic, which seemed to have achieved considerable results.
"I see. This aspect is going smoothly."
"Yes. But not everything is going smoothly."
Facing the puzzled expressions of the crowd, Sena slowly said: "With the assistance of many adventurers, we continue to fight, but..."
She paused as if she also didn't understand, but continued speaking.
“Suddenly, all the subcompact Walavis disappeared.”
"Disappeared? Weren't they all defeated?"
Darkness asked quickly.
Sena shook her head and said, "No, before sending adventurers to a certain area, they received reports that all the super small Walavi disappeared overnight. If they appeared in pursuit of the magic power needed for growth, there is no reason for them to disappear from the maze, so this is————"
"Did they leave there on their own accord?"
Xiaolin continued the conversation.
This is the only reason, otherwise Walavi would not leave on his own initiative. Maybe he wanted to reunite with the original body and increase its strength.
"Yes. It was confusing, but after listening to what you said, Kobayashi-san, I immediately understood. The main body with the core started to move, and in order to meet up with the ultra-small Valavi, it also started to move... Now it makes perfect sense."
Just like what Xiaolin thought.
The counter lady Luna also quickly added: "The guild will continue to investigate the ultra-small Walavi, and if there is any movement, we will inform everyone in time."
Ok……
Huihui felt a little strange about Kobayashi's silence.
"What's wrong, Xiaolin? You suddenly stopped talking."
"I say, Valavi is bigger than before, and Researcher Rafe ran away, right? I thought I had finally figured everything out, but in the end, nothing is done."
Sigh slightly.
In the end, they still didn't achieve anything.
Darkness responded with a stern response, “It’s a shame, but we should think that the situation is worse than before. With such a huge body, we probably won’t stand a chance of winning even in a head-on battle. We must think of a solution…”
“No, no, no, wait a minute.” Aqua suddenly yelled, “Why do we have to figure it out on our own? This is really not an opponent we can handle. It would be better to leave it to someone capable, right? Like the Knights?”
"Ms. Aqua, I understand how you feel, but the Knights cannot carry out large-scale activities this time."
Sena shook her head apologetically.
State the reason.
"The ones who went to investigate were only the most junior members. It's hard to prepare the personnel needed to defeat a super-large monster."
"Why?! Isn't this exactly when the Knights are needed?!"
"…I am the prosecutor of the Kingdom. I can barely get my request for an investigation approved, but I do not have the authority to order a large-scale subjugation operation. That is why I have high hopes for Mr. Kobayashi and everyone else. I have high hopes for those of you who are capable enough to defeat even the Demon King's army leaders one after another."
That's why I say she is quite rigid.
In this town, she holds the highest position and has the most authority besides the Darkness family, but she is a rigid person and firmly disagrees to take advantage of her own convenience.
Xiaolin also felt a slight headache.
"Ms. Sena, you think too highly of us, don't you? Do you think we can stand up to such a monster?"
"Yes of course."
"...Answer in seconds."
"real or fake?"
Huihui also looked at her with slight surprise.
Sena said with strong emotion, "With his ability to defeat several Demon King Army cadres, I think he is definitely the leader of Axel!"
"Please, lend us your strength!"
The counter lady Luna also bowed deeply to everyone.
I didn't expect it to go this far.
To be honest, there are a lot of people in this town, and many of them are powerful, so it shouldn't be their turn at all...but it also shows from the side that the two of them trust them very much.
"Xiao Lin, what should I do?"
"Well, even if you say so..."
Xiaolin scratched his head.
It is normal to resist. After all, they have been fooled from the beginning to the end, and even Uncle Lundberg has been fooled around, resulting in the huge Walavi being wantonly destroyed around the town.
"Xiao Lin, I'm counting on you too."
As expected, Darkness pleaded for mercy.
"Things have come to this, but as a noble, it is my duty to protect the safety of the common people. That Valavi must be defeated. Please help me."
“Darkness…”
She is the acting lord of this town.
That’s right, Darkness has taken over Dustinis’ job as the head of the family, so if there are problems in the town, she can’t escape the blame.
Even if Kobayashi and the others refused, she would definitely face Walavi alone.
Aqua was stunned.
"Eh? Is it possible that everyone is so motivated?" She looked at her companions and said quickly, "Aren't we going to fight that ridiculously large guy? No, that's too dangerous. The streamer has returned, so don't get involved with that monster anymore. Just leave it alone."
This guy has really become like this.
Just now, I forced Sena to gather the Knights to deal with Walavi. Now of course, he is unwilling to do such a dangerous job.
And at this time——
The receptionist Luna, who seemed to have seen through the nature of the stupid goddess, immediately said, "If you can defeat the super giant Walavi, the guild is considering a reward of 10 million Eris."
"Let's go for it, Kobayashi! For the sake of this world, we should do what we can!" Aqua immediately changed her mind.
"You're changing too fast, aren't you?"
Xiaolin hit her head angrily.
If you think about it carefully, whether it was giving money or Darkness, he had no choice from the beginning.
In addition, he was fooled by Raff. It would be totally out of his character if he didn't retaliate.
“…Alas, there is nothing I can do.”
After figuring it out, Xiaolin said to everyone, "If that guy goes crazy, our situation will get worse anyway, so let's get rid of that bracken cake first."
"Thank you very much! I always believed that you would say this, Mr. Kobayashi!" Luna was so moved that tears came to her eyes.
That's too much, hey.
Huihui raised her eyebrows.
“…Is that okay? You can’t say that you were dragged into this unwillingly this time, okay?”
"Anyway, if that guy comes to this town, everyone will be doomed. Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to keep doing it, right?"
"Hehe, that's it."
Kobayashi's explanation seemed to convince them.
Sena also said to everyone at the right time: "Then, we will continue to investigate Valavi and Lav. If there is any new information, we will contact you immediately. Before that, please wait, Mr. Kobayashi."
And so, the two of them left in a hurry.
According to their thinking, Kobayashi and his companions were the ones who would decide the outcome of the battle. It would be bad if they wasted a lot of energy and strength before that, so they asked them to stay in the guild for the time being and wait for the right opportunity to take action.
They took this time to eat something.
Aqua blinked and said, "It feels like things are getting really bad."
"Why do you act like it's none of your business? You want to get involved too!" Kobayashi pointed at her forehead, causing the stupid goddess to scream.
The worry on Darkness’s face was very obvious.
"In this case, we will definitely fight that monster."
"Yeah, at this point, there's no point complaining about this. In short, no matter what happens, we have to be well prepared to fight."
Xiaolin said this to everyone.
Several days passed after that, but I still didn't receive any contact from them.
They thought they could just conserve their energy like this, but in this state of high concentration, they became much more depressed and their will was mostly gone.
"Hey, hey, hey, is it okay to just wait like this?"
"We have mobilized all the forces of the Adventurer's Guild to investigate, but we still haven't found any reports."
The counter girl Luna shook her head uneasily.
Sena also said: "The same is true for the Knights. So far, they haven't found any clues."
it's wired.
I always feel it's weird.
Darkness also wondered, “How come we can’t find such a huge monster?”
"I think it's hard to miss such a big creature... but, it's also possible that I missed it..."
Youyou said this carefully.
Luna shook her head and said, "Yes, maybe I missed it. Since we still can't find it, it may be hidden by magic or props. This is the only explanation."
"Was it Raph's doing?"
Xiaolin sighed.
Sena nodded and said, "I think this possibility is very high. Judging from the intelligence, Valavi should not hide his wisdom, so it is likely that Raf is assisting behind the scenes."
"That means, as long as we find Raf, we can find out the whereabouts of that big guy?" Aqua said with her head tilted.
"But there's no clue about this, right? Is it okay to continue like this?"
"If we spend too much time on it, Walavi will continue to grow beyond our control, and in the end, no one will be able to limit its extent."
This is also what Xiaolin is worried about.
Judging from the fact that Walavi has grown so huge in just a few days, it may become even larger in the next few days. If it is larger than the entire town, neither ice nor fire will be effective.
Sena also looked like she had a headache.
"We are well aware of the danger, but now there is no better way except to search around aimlessly..."
"...Then, it's enough to have a goal, right?"
Xiaolin said this suddenly.
Everyone looked at him in surprise, as if they were curious about how Kobayashi found Raf.
