Chapter 7 - Void Bug Mutation

“Ping, piping, pipipipipip!”

After hearing that damn annoying sound for nearly half a day, the situation finally came to an end.

“What the heck happened? I heard that summer sewer slimes are numerous and that it would take three nights to deal with them…”

Warrior Brick wiped the slime off his blade with an oily cloth as he spoke.

The mage scanned the surroundings. “There’s slime all over the place. On the walls and the ground…”

“Dini, does that mean someone already caught them all?”

“Hm, it seems like it, but there are no traces at all. It feels like we arrived before the slimes could even gather.”

The archer let out a cold chuckle. “Looks like we got lucky.”

The archer’s backpack was already stuffed to the brim with slime goo, nearly bursting. But he wasn’t satisfied; he was also shoving it into his quiver. What an obsession with money!

“No, it’s not luck. It’s our courage! We paved the way to get here! If we hadn’t been brave enough, the slimes might have gathered first!”

Brick clenched his fist and shouted.

Dini, the mage, chuckled lightly, while the archer silently continued to collect the goo, coldly smiling. That seemed to impress him.

“Even if there are still a decent number of slimes left, if we combine our strength, it’ll be nothing! Let’s go!”

Watching this, Arzen thought with wide eyes, “What a load of nonsense.”

Unknowingly expressing his inner thoughts caused the attention of the lower-tier adventurers to focus on him.

“?”

“?”

“?”

He could feel the atmosphere growing tense.

In this mad world of adventurers, one could easily kill for “offending my feelings” and then claim, “I was attacked by monsters.”

Arzen, whose social skills were at an almost masterful level, began to stomp on the slime goo, crying out, “You slimes! Causing chaos and disturbing people’s peaceful lives! Ugh, ugh, ugh!!!”

Warrior Brick was impressed by his strong sense of justice and whistled, while Dini nodded in understanding.

“Indeed, such pure dedication to justice… It’s no wonder that kid’s divine power barrier was so strong.”

Arzen felt differently from his party members as he made his way here.

The slimes that “died without a sound” were not objects of confusion or embarrassment but rather of self-congratulation.

“To test how far the power of summoning magic extends, I deliberately designated the entire northwest sewer area for the quest…”

Had he already resolved nearly 40% of it?

Heh, that little guy.

Once they returned to the inn later, he should reward him with some citrus peels and give him a wash.

“His soft, fluffy fur makes you feel good just by touching it.”

He had even instructed the little guy to leave “a couple behind” to check how well his commands were being followed, and that turned out perfectly too.

“There are no signs of battle in the area; it seems like they only targeted the core.”

Perhaps it was due to the nature of the void creatures that devour their targets. He might need to see that for himself later.

What mattered was this:

The little guy could control the void creatures even when away from the sorcerer.

“Alright, next corridor! We see slimes! Let’s go, everyone!”

“Yeah!”

“Ping, piping, pipipipipip!”
