“[Ice Fortress]!” (Sera)

“[Meteor Bullet]!” (Slime)

Both Sera and Slime jumped from the boat and cast their magic.

Clank! Clank! Clank!

Sera blocked the coming attacks from their pursuers with a wave of her hand. The [Ice Fortress] magic enveloped Sera with a heavy armor that protects all of her body.

(Wait, meteor bullet?) (Sera)

Instead of defending himself, Slime cast [Meteor Bullet] that was not directed towards the enemy, but towards the frozen lake. The meteor’s size is far smaller than the original meteor that is supposed to be summoned by the magic.

(Ah! I see…) (Sera)

Sera finally grasped the meaning of Slime’s move.

“Now, now… Sixteen Archmage ranked ice mages, huh… This will need some time to prepare. Princess!” Slime called out the princess after analyzing the situation calmly.

“Do you have a plan?” (Sera)

“I do, just please make sure to defend us from the next wave of attacks. You could do that, right?” (Slime)

“Of course! Who do you think am I?” Sera follows Slime’s command and prepare to deflect the upcoming attack.

Their pursuers immediately follow up with the next wave of attacks. Dozens of icicles, ice boulders, and ice swords flew towards Slime and Sera.

“Hmph! Trying to attack me, the one that been called the ‘Winter princess’ with ice magic? What a joke,” Sera pointed her [Endless Cold] forward and cast her magic, “[Frost Wall]”

A huge wall of solid ice formed by Sera’s magic deflects all of the ice sword saint archmages magic.

“Excellent, now prepare to jump back to the boat, princess,” Slime said his next instruction after complimenting the princess’ magic.

Crack!

“[Water Vortex]” (Slime)

A tremendous amount of water gushed out from the lake that should have been completely frozen by the ice archmages. The ice archmages got caught off guarded and got trapped inside the huge water vortex cast by Slime.

“Let’s go,” Slime jumped back to the boat together with Sera as the ice below them start to melt at a terrifying speed.

(What a terrifying amount of control… He reduces the size of the meteor but made the heat amass inside the meteor remain…) (Sera)

Slime take a peek below and set the meteor bullet he shot towards the bottom of the lake to stop releasing heat when the lake had got warm to ensure the creatures inside the lake could survive.

“Water Vortex? If I’m not mistaken, the spell could only last until 20 minutes at most, am I wrong?” (Sera)

“Nope, you’re right, princess,” Said Slime as he continues to row their boat.

“Then are we-” Sera’s words stopped when she saw the water vortex cast by Slime.

“H-hey! Are those shadows that are covering the water vortex is part of your spell too, Mr. Slime!?” (Sera)

“Relax, even though they didn’t appear from my spell, they’re our allies,” Slime answered calmly.

“Allies?” (Sera)

“Yes, but princess” (Slime)

“Y-yes!?” Slime suddenly called out the confused Sera, making her tone to be rather disordered when she answered.

“Rather than those sword saints, I believe that you might want to worry about our enemies that are waiting for us ashore, princess,” (Slime)

“Enemies?” Sera finally regains her composure, quickly spread her aura, and finally sensed the ‘enemies’ Slime mentioned.

!!??

(F-four sword god ranked warriors!!??) (Sera)

“W-w-we should run!” Sera told Slime in panic.

“Run where? Even if we run now, they’ll absolutely pursue us, and we’ll be in a disadvantage if we’re attacked when we’re on the run,” (Slime)

“T-then what should we do? They have four sword god ranked warriors, while on our side, I’m the only sword god ranked warrior while you’re an archmage ranked magician,” (Sera)

(Why am I blaming him for this? I’m the one that forced him to escort me here and made him caught up in my kingdom’s problem! I’m so stupid!!) (Sera)

“Well, you’re not exactly wrong. But still, I have some tricks under my sleeves; it’ll hurt my pride if you underestimate me that much, princess,” Slime answered with a wry smile.

“S-sorry…” (Sera)

“It’s fine. Rather than feeling sorry, I think it will be better if we decide what kind of strategy we will be using when we face them, princess,” (Slime)

Slime closed his eyes as he attempts to sense the presences of the sword god ranked warriors.

“Two fire elemental sword god rank while the other two sword god rank didn’t possess any elements in their body, huh…” (Slime)

(H-he could even sense the element affinity those sword god warriors possess?) (Sera)

“Their cultivation level is way below you, but still, it won’t be wise to underestimate them. I’ll handle those with no element affinity. Could you handle the remaining two fire elemental sword god warrior, princess?” (Slime)

“Y-yes, I think I could..” Sera obediently answered. The panic started to fade from Sera’s heart. Slime’s calm attitude restored Sera’s calmness and made her regain her composure.

“But I might need to use one of my ‘Endless Cold’ sword’s skills. So you will need to stay away to make sure you won’t get caught on it,” (Sera)

“Good. Then let’s proceed,” Together with Slime’s words, their boat finally arrived at the small dock. Slime got off the boat together with Sera and tied the boat to the dock calmly.

“I believe there is no need for the four of you to hide yourselves, no?” Slime’s confident words slightly startled Sera.

(He’s taunting them?) (Sera)

“Not bad. It seems that the rumor about the Tarot empire is indeed true,” A deep voice belongs to a man appeared from the forest.

Four people slowly descend from above a tree.

(Hm… It seems that Sera and co are indeed a rare talent. Even these men could only reach their level in their 40s) (Slime)

“Well, of course. Our training is different from the other nations, after all. Especially from the Potterland kingdom,” Said Slime as he shrugged.

“…….” The four sword god warriors didn’t reply to Slime’s statement.

(Bingo) (Slime)

(Master, you know what? You taunting them like that might be fun to you, but the princess over there is flooding with cold sweat because of you, you know?) (Fenrir)

(The battle of composure is one of the most entertaining parts of a fight, Fenrir) (Reo)

(Shut up, Reo! Aren’t you feel sorry towards the poor princess?) (Fenrir)

(She’s a tough one, she’ll be fine) (Reo)

(Ughh! Just shut up, you old lion!) (Fenrir)

(What did you just say, you Grandma wolf!?) (Reo)

(Shut it! Both of you!) (Slime)

Slime couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh because of the commotion inside his head. But even though Slime doing it in reflex, the four sword god ranked warriors in front of them caught his action as sarcasm.

(He’s underestimating us!) (The sword god warriors)

“I was right! just two of us should be enough! Our opponents are just brats that don’t even know what kind of danger they’re in!” (Sword God Warrior 1)

“You have some guts to be so calm in front of four sword god ranked warriors, young man. Even though your aura is only at the rank of a sword saint or an archmage,” Mocks one of the sword god warriors.

“Hm? Well, I knew that the four of you are sword god ranked warriors and were just hiding your aura. if I didn’t know, I wouldn’t be able to know that the two of you are fire elemental warriors while the other two had no element, right?” Slime answered with a shrug.

!!??

The sword god warriors got alerted because of Slime’s statement. The situation had changed. If the two of them appear confidently without knowing that the four of them are at the sword god rank, it means that they’re just a couple of young fools. But yet, it turns out that they knew the cultivation rank of the four of them and even their element affinity but still confidently appeared before them.

(It means they’re confident of winning!) (The four sword god warriors)

Slime saw that the four of them had got wary of them, the smile on their faces had gone, and they wore a serious expression while preparing their weapons.

“Now that’s the expression I’ve been looking for. To send four sword god ranked to assassinate me, I’m flattered. The only people that heard the news of me visiting the old guardian were my men, and the Potterland’s ambassador…” (Slime)

“It looks like the Potterland’s king fears me that much, enough to sacrifice four of his few sword god warriors, I see,” This time, Slime’s provocation and hits the bullseye.

“You have no right to defile the name of our king!” One of the sword god warriors dashed towards Slime.

(The one with no element, huh, reckless) (Slime)

“Reo, I’m borrowing your power,” Slime whispered towards the thin air.

(Gladly, master) (Reo)

Slime lift his right leg and calmly stepped slightly forward.

!!!!??

Sera saw the scene unfold with her eyes wide.

The sword god stopped his tracks right before his sword touches Slime.
