Chapter 674 Snake Root

Chapter 674 Snake Root

"Ohh! Look, Xiaolin!"

Megumin pointed at the vine that had just tripped Aqua and shouted, “This tree root looks like it could move at any moment! Like a snake! It’s so new, I’ve never seen anything like it before!”

"It's like a snake turned directly into a tree root. It's too lifelike. Not good. I have a bad feeling."

"Maybe it will start to move at some point."

Huihui leaned down and moved the vines under her feet.

"Stop! Don't move!" Xiao Lin hurriedly stopped her and shouted, "You idiot, if you touch it randomly and trigger some hatred value, and get attacked by something like this, you won't be able to bear it!"

"No, look! There's something between the snake roots!"

Huihui let out a soft exclamation as if she had discovered something.

"What is this? It looks very similar to the ancient relics in Lundberg Institute. No, it should be said that it looks the same thing, but it is much older than the one in the institute..."

Darkness was also slightly surprised after taking a closer look.

indeed.

Placed in front of everyone, in the center of the snake roots, was an ancient relic exactly the same as the one in Uncle Lundberg's mansion.

Bang bang bang————

At this time, Rafe came out from the corner, clapping his hands and praising, "Exactly. Everyone, it's a relief that you can come here. Walavi, in fact, is not complete. It may be because too much has been added, so it has been sealed separately."

"Raph! You're really here!"

"Adventurer, you should thank me for guiding you correctly. Say 'thank you, gentle Mr. Vanir' now!"

"Yes, yes, thank you! Thank you, Mr. Banier!"

Kobayashi thanked Vanir perfunctorily, but he didn't look very happy. After all, Kobayashi's thanks were sincere, and for a demon who likes negative emotions, this is the most unpalatable emotion.

No time for the discouraged and depressed Duke of Hell.

Xiaolin said to Rafe, "Rafe, do you know what that is?"

"Of course! This is the result of the research of an ancient genius doctor. I, my whole life, can be said to exist just to figure out his research!" Raf raised his hands high and cheered, having completely fallen into madness.

Honestly.

Kobayashi also didn't expect that Lao Deng, the leader of the Red Demon Clan who brought great disasters to the world and often caused trouble for them, actually had loyal supporters.

Thinking back on what that guy did, the world might as well be destroyed!

Rafe pointed at the Walavi that had grown even bigger behind him and shouted, "Look, it's a great monster! But it's still incomplete... It's my mission to unlock this seal and make it more complete... Go, take back your power!"

He commands the shit-yellow slime.

Darkness's face changed, and he pointed at Raph and shouted, "What did you say! I won't let you do such a dangerous thing! I will definitely stop you, Raph!"

Ahhh...

From the looks of it, he probably doesn't know that the magical creature is actually a walking, infinitely multiplying bracken cake...

However, infinite proliferation is a troublesome attribute. If it really recovers its victory, the whole world might be shrouded in it. They will definitely be the ones to clean up the mess. In this case, it is better to solve this troublesome matter now.

Rafe now yelled, "Well, go ahead, Valavi! Get rid of the guys who are getting in the way of my mission!"

"Tsk, get ready for battle!"

"I won't let you succeed!"

When Kobayashi said this, Darkness rushed forward again recklessly, and then this perverted and incompetent female knight was entangled by Slime Valavi in ​​full view of everyone.

“Damn it! It was tied so tightly… It’s just a slime, yet it dared to do this to me… My clothes were melted? Do you want me to be naked in front of everyone and be looked at like that? You, you filthy monster——!”

No, Walavi was simply attacking.

Attack like a slime.

“Damn it, we can’t let Darkness enjoy herself… No, she’s imprisoned.” Xiaolin said to Liu Zi, “Please, Liu Zi, save Darkness!”

"Okay, Master Kobayashi."

Liu Zi disappeared in an instant, and when she appeared again, Darkness had been brought back by her.

“Ahh… No! Such a thing… Such a thing… Ah, ah? How, how could this happen… I was just enjoying it…”

She looked at herself blankly.

I guess this perverted female knight didn't expect that she would come back so soon. She even said with regret that she wanted to enjoy it for a while longer.

"Okay, it's my turn next!"

Xiaolin's hands were pressed against the ground, and the cold air instantly spread towards the Slime Walavi.

"——Cursed Ice Crystal!"

"Xiao Lin!?"

"When did you learn this magic?!"

“Always!”

It's just that he doesn't have enough magic power due to his level drop. When his level is raised again, he can naturally use this magic. In addition, ice magic is the natural enemy of liquid creatures like slime, and almost no monster can resist it.

"Okay Raph, now you just..."

Before he could finish, he saw the Slime Walavi split apart, abandoning a small part of its body, and the remaining majority of its body rolled to the other side.

Huihui yelled, "Xiaolin! Oh no, the Valavi has entangled the sealing device!"

"Eh? It's so sticky and disgusting..."

"What will it be like when it approaches a more complete form? Transform?! Transform again?!"

Huihui hid behind Xiaolin in fear.

If she transformed into a robot, she would definitely be happy, but when it came to a slimy and disgusting creature like a slime, she had no idea what would happen when it transformed.

Darkness is the exact opposite.

"There must be wriggling tentacles this time... No, I can't allow this to happen! I must stop it no matter what!"

"I say, are you expecting too much?"

He grabbed the perverted female knight who was about to rush forward to enjoy it.

As the Slime Walavi covered it, the ancient ruins were slowly swallowed up, and the entire land was shaking with a huge momentum.

Raph shouted excitedly.

"Ohhhh, ohhhhhhh! Absorption device... fusion...!"

“W-What!? It’s shaking?!”

Aqua stumbled and grabbed onto Kobayashi's pants to avoid falling to the ground.

But the fusion of the slime did not end. It continued to swallow up the ancient ruins, and not only that, it also swallowed up the things underneath.

"It's that snake root! It's configured to protect the seal! It's moving, Xiaolin!"

"It really moved... Bullshit! Can we defeat that thing?"

Xiaolin clenched his fists.

In fact, when Walavi swallowed up the ancient ruins, the silk thread in his hand had already spread throughout the entire space, but because the snake root was swallowed up and there was no support point, all his efforts were in vain.

Vanir was just watching the show from the side. Krillin's skills were all useless, and Huihui and Youyou's magic couldn't be used here.

Just let Liu Zi take action!

If Walavi attacks, they will just blow themselves up!

But unexpectedly, Laf did not instruct Valavi to take action.

"Hahaha, everyone, with luck we'll see each other again. Walavi is not complete yet... I hope to see it in perfect shape, but then, excuse me!"

He used teleportation magic again and left.

This guy……!

It would have been fine if he had just run away, but he actually threw such a big trouble into them.

The protection device of the ancient ruins was activated, and Kobayashi and others who remained here were regarded as outsiders, but they were not the same as the one in Uncle Lundberg's maze. The snake-like branch in front of them was more like a living creature.

Darkness yelled at him, "Xiaolin! The monster in front of us is more important than catching up with Raph!"

"Damn it! There's nothing I can do!"

Xiaolin gritted his teeth.

This monster was not that strong, but since Xiaolin's ice magic and silk thread had no effect, and Huihui's explosion magic could not be used, they could only rely on Youyou's advanced fire magic to output damage.

Fortunately, Kobayashi's silk thread was able to suppress the mad monster, and it was finally destroyed through continuous consumption.

"Hohohoho——"

The monster fell to the ground lifeless.

Huihui exhaled, “I did it. The snake root is expelled.”

"Ahh, I'm so tired."

Darkness sat on the ground.

Xiao Lin looked at the mess and sighed slightly, "But we don't know where Raph is."

“Hahahaha——”

Vanir, who had been paddling all the time, laughed out loud, "The feeling of futility without any gain is really great! Fresh negative emotions are so delicious!"

This guy……

Could it be that you followed me just for this?

I really want to punch him.

Perhaps sensing Kobayashi's ill intentions, Vanir took a step back and raised the index finger of his right hand.

"Some feelings can only be experienced through fresh negative emotions. Sometimes I will go there in person without any hesitation..."

"You shitty devil!"

"Thanks for the compliment! Mmm~ This malice tastes good!"

Vanir laughed.

Have no idea.

Let’s go back to Axel and re-plan for now.

Raff's whereabouts are still unknown. Not only did he gain nothing from this trip, he also lost a lot of money.

It's a complete loss-making business.

If only there were something that could...

"what?"

When I returned to Axel, I found it was in chaos and bustling with people.

Aqua was slightly stunned.

"Ara? What's wrong? Is there a festival?"

"Ah, are there a lot of monsters appearing nearby? Are you all ready to go and defeat them together?"

"Let's go check on the guild."

The confused crowd came to the guild.

I found that all the adventurers were fully armed and waiting in the guild with serious faces. I didn't know what was going on.

"What, what's wrong?"

"Big sister, what happened?"

Huihui asked Luna at the guild counter, and when she saw the few people, her tense face relaxed a little, and she ran over quickly and said:

"Oh no, Mr. Kobayashi! It's that Walavi!"

"Walavi!?"

"Valavi has grown larger and appeared from the direction of Eversummer's temple... the damage is spreading rapidly!"

"You...what did you say?!"

Aqua cried out in surprise.

They had just returned from the tree maze and hadn't even had time to regroup, but that guy Raf had already taken action?

You’re too anxious!

Luna's face was slightly anxious as she said, "All the adventurers are responsible for the defense of the surrounding area, but the area is too large and there are not enough people... Can you, Mr. Kobayashi, come and help?"

"Hey, we just got back. We are so tired!"

Aqua complained loudly.

Damn it, is there no other choice but to go...

There was no way, they had no choice but to stop it before Walavi made the situation worse.

----

The magical creature Valavi, which has grown further by absorbing the clone, is slowly approaching Axel City.

Although the information sent by the guild stated that there were no casualties, it seemed that damage had been caused to the fields and buildings on the road ahead. If people knew that we had released this troublesome magical creature, we might be sentenced to death for subverting the country.

After returning from the guard mission in Walavi, the few people had a meal for a while.

But what to say...

It tastes like chewing wax.

I can't eat it at all.

Hui Hui also sighed slightly: “If we leave it alone like this, the day will soon come when there will be no side dishes in the soup.”

“That’s very troubling…”

This is not alarmist.

The damage that Walavi has done to the fields is far greater than the damage to humans. If this continues, there will be no food to eat.

Darkness was optimistic.

"It's better than nothing that no one was killed, but the farmers seem to have been damaged, and we should consider how to remedy the situation. Although the damage is only this much, judging from the guy's tone, Walavi may continue to grow."

These are the words Uncle Lundberg once said when he was extremely proud.

Something like Walavi isn't perfect enough.

"In that case, it's only a matter of time before the damage spreads. We must find a way to stop it..."

"Ah, the soup is delicious! And this salad too! The cabbage has been absorbed with magical power, so it absorbs the flavor easily. Isn't that great?"

“You are avoiding reality.”

Huihui sighed, "Aqua, you should say something too."

"Uh-huh……"

Aqua was holding a book in her hand, and it was unclear whether she was really reading or just pretending to read.

"Aqua?"

Huihui asked curiously, “What are you reading? Isn’t that the book in Lundberg’s laboratory? Did you take it out? You’ll be scolded by Sena!”

"Xiaolin, there seems to be a way to defeat it."

Aqua suddenly said this.

"...What?" Xiao Lin was slightly stunned and said, "I didn't write anything useful when I was reading!?...Ah, you snatched it away halfway!"

"That's because I haven't finished reading it yet. Wait a minute, I'll tell you."

Aqua said as if it was a matter of course.

It really felt like punching her.
