Chapter 159 Tasting Slime
"Get up!"
Xia Sheng quickly got up, pulled the two of them up, and glanced back warily at the two slimes.
Fortunately, the two slimes did not cast any more spells and simply stayed in place.
It's like resting and recovering.
It wasn't that they were restoring their magic power; Xia Sheng could sense that the magic power within them hadn't decreased much.
There is absolutely no need to restore it.
"Natsuo!" Yukino Yukinoshita called out to him, her tone surprised.
"How...!
Just as Xia Sheng was about to ask a question, he followed her gaze and saw the condition of the stone wall.
A deep hole, a huge pit.
The edges of the deep hole were as smooth as a mirror, while the inside of the pit was charred black.
This is the destructive power of water guns and fireballs!
Xia Sheng couldn't help but feel fortunate that he hadn't used his iron sword to take the hit head-on; otherwise, he might have ended up being burned and dismembered.
He had just been planning to use his magic-infused iron sword to cleave the slime's magic.
Magic against magic, that makes perfect sense.
Thankfully, I managed to hold back.
This destructive power is far beyond what an iron sword can withstand.
"What should we do?" Yukino Yukinoshita gripped Natsuo's clothes tightly and asked in a low voice.
"It's very simple."
Xia Sheng smiled and looked at the two slimes that still hadn't moved. He said in a relaxed tone, "To deal with a mage, melee combat is enough."
"Melee combat, huh...."
"Natsuo, be careful," Shiina Mahiru warned.
She naturally understood Xia Sheng's meaning; he wanted to engage in close combat.
That's the only way; otherwise, we'll just become targets for slimes.
"I know, you should also be careful." Natsumi smiled gently at Shiina Mahiru and walked towards the slime.
He took out his katana.
The blade is over a meter long and has a unique curve, both strange and beautiful.
Holding the katana, katana techniques came to mind, and my body was itching to move.
At this moment, all he wanted was to be a swordsman with a katana.
This knife has that kind of impulse in it.
Xia Sheng kept approaching the two slimes, but they remained unmoved, standing quietly in place.
Like a gun emplacement.
At a certain moment, they opened their mouths, and magic gathered within, causing flames and water ripples to take shape once more.
Xia Sheng was still nearly ten meters away from them.
Whether this ten-meter distance is within their attack range or simply because they've had a good rest is currently impossible to determine.
But facing their magical attacks, Xia Sheng remained calm, his right foot bent forward, his left hand gripping the scabbard, his right hand holding the hilt, pressing down to gather his strength.
Warrior versus mage?
The advantage lies with him.
"What's wrong with Xia Sheng...?"
When Natsumi was born, Shiina Mahiru looked at him with a worried expression.
She didn't know what the katana was for, so she didn't know what he was going to do.
"Trust him, he won't act recklessly, we're right here." Yukino Yukinoshita comforted him, but her eyes were filled with worry as she looked at Natsuo.
"Mmm!"
At this moment, the two slimes finished charging up and fired fireballs and water guns at Natsumi with clear aim, making a whooshing sound as they moved through the air.
Xia Sheng remained calm, his eyes fixed on the incoming fireballs and water guns, a glint of light flashing in them.
The next moment, he disappeared.
The fireball and water gun passed through the spot where Xia Sheng had been standing, but missed their target and struck the stone wall again.
The power was not diminished in the slightest; the crater and the deep hole were exactly the same.
The fireball has a powerful explosive force, while the water gun seems to have an indestructible cutting force.
Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina were far away and had no interest in what was happening here; their eyes were filled with shock.
Xia Sheng, who had disappeared, reappeared in front of the two slimes at some unknown time and cut them in half at the same time.
The two were completely unaware, only seeing a flash of cold light disappear in an instant.
Over here, Xia Sheng looked at the two slimes that had already died, let out a long sigh of relief, and sheathed his sword.
"hiss-
As he sheathed his sword, his brow furrowed.
Pain swept through his entire body, and he nearly lost his balance as he knelt down.
"Natsuo!"
Seeing this, Yukino Yukinoshita and Mahiru Shiina rushed over to him and supported him on either side.
"Is this... Are you alright?" Yukino Yukinoshita noticed the burn marks on Natsuo's sleeve.
"Natsuo, are you hurt?" Shiina Mahiru noticed the scratch on his sleeve and asked with concern.
"It's nothing, just a little dirty sleeves," Xia Sheng shook his head and replied weakly.
"You can't even stand up straight!" Yukino Yukinoshita said sternly.
"It's a side effect of Iaijutsu," Natsumi replied knowingly.
"Iaijutsu? That was the move you just used?"
"Yes, a well-prepared strike, delivered at the absolute limit," Xia Sheng nodded slightly, explaining.
He didn't just disappear; he was moving too fast for the naked eye to see.
This is the Iaijutsu technique, also known as the draw slash.
It's definitely the improved version.
Using the limits of the body, combining strength and speed, to deliver a swift strike.
He also used body-enhancing magic; otherwise, it would have been impossible to close the distance so quickly and deliver a fatal blow in an instant.
Xia Sheng passed between the fireball and the water gun, which is why his sleeves have burn marks and scratches.
A combination of magic and martial arts, a strike that ordinary people could never achieve.
However, the side effects of this move were still too great. Even with his enhanced body, he still couldn't withstand the damage to his body, and his stamina was also greatly depleted.
The body still needs strengthening.
"Are you really alright?" Shiina Mahiru was still worried.
"Really, and I have magic powers, so I recover very quickly," Xia Sheng replied, his tone now more powerful.
In this place, his magic will not be diminished in any way.
Magic can replenish physical strength in the form of energy.
His body is no longer that of an ordinary person.
"Let's rest for a bit. The second floor might be even more dangerous," Yukino Yukinoshita said.
"No rush, there are still experiments to be done."
"test?"
"I want to eat slime," Natsumi said seriously.
"Yukino Yukinoshita opened her mouth as if to speak, but hesitated.
At this moment, she was actually a little reluctant to let Xia Sheng take any risks, especially since this was a different kind of slime than the previous ones.
"Natsuo..." Shiina Mahiru also wanted to stop him, and hugged his arm tightly.
"It's alright," Xia Sheng comforted him softly.
"I'm different, I'll be fine."
"But..
"If we don't become stronger, we'll always be in danger. We have to do this," Xia Sheng said resolutely.
"Then I'll go with you!" Shiina Mahiru suddenly said, her expression resolute.
"No way!" Xia Sheng refused without hesitation.
Why?
"It's dangerous."
"Well, aren't you the same...?"
"I'm a little different from you guys, let me do it," Xia Sheng interrupted.
I:
"Mahiru, let Natsuo try it first," Yukino Yukinoshita interjected.
"Yukino, you?" Shiina Mahiru glared at her with displeasure.
Yukino Yukinoshita said calmly, "Let Natsuo try first. If something happens to him, we'll stay with him."
"..." Shiina Mahiru looked at her in surprise.
"So, you're not allowed to get hurt." Yukino Yukinoshita looked at Natsuo with a serious expression and commanded.
"Okay," Xia Sheng replied with a smile.
He then deliberately broke free from their support and slowly walked towards the slime's body.
In a short while, he had recovered considerably and was able to move around on his own.
Katana techniques are currently too risky and are only suitable as finishing moves.
Fortunately, he used it beforehand. If he had used it at a crucial moment, it would have definitely failed, and he would have been at the mercy of others.
Sure enough, I need to figure out how to become stronger on my own; I can't just rely on his rewards.
He was right; the magic that enhanced his body was probably meant to be used in conjunction with katana techniques.
However, it's a bit behind schedule.
We can only deal with the current situation; we cannot guarantee against unforeseen circumstances.
Unless he fights desperately.
That won't do; he must guarantee 100% safety.
He and they had only just started dating, and he didn't want anything to go wrong.
Approaching the two slime corpses, Natsumi squatted down and briefly examined their body structure.
It's not much different from the previous slime; its body is similar to jelly, slippery, and it looks alright.
Xia Sheng picked up the crimson slime, feeling its cool, refreshing texture, as if it might slip through his fingers at any moment.
He felt a bit resistant, but he gritted his teeth, brought it to his lips, and took a bite.
"Smack~ Smack~"
