Chapter 685: All Efforts Are Exhausted
“Oh oh oh————————————”
A howl was heard in the sky above Axel. Then several figures fell into the town. When they were about to land on their faces, Miss Liu Zi suddenly exerted her strength and saved them one by one.
“It hurts, it hurts… I almost collided head-on with the ground.”
Aqua rubbed her entire body.
She almost fell down just now.
Raf, who came with them, squatted on the ground and cried as he looked at the scattered parts on the ground.
“Ahh? My magic item is broken?! The crystallization of precious ancient technology…!”
They flew back.
I used Raph's magic item and literally flew back to Axel. It would have been better to arrive earlier, but I didn't expect to use something I didn't understand so easily... I'd better not let this happen again next time.
While Xiaolin was praying sincerely, someone ran over at high speed.
"...Mr. Kobayashi!?"
"Ah, so you're here, Sena. Just in time."
Xiaolin didn't want to exchange pleasantries and went straight to the point. "I think you already know that Valavi is heading towards Axel. We must stop it before the town is destroyed."
"Mr. Kobayashi... you are indeed a trustworthy person."
Sena said this suddenly with emotion.
Kobayashi rubbed his arms uncomfortably and said in surprise, "Why do you suddenly say such things? You want to make me bear trouble... I refuse. I'm not Sato-kun. Well, forget it. It's not important."
He looked around.
"What's the current situation in the town? Have you noticed the approach of Walavi?"
"Yes, we have received a report from the adventurers. Those who cannot fight have already started to take refuge, and the remaining adventurers are preparing to fight. However, in order to investigate the whereabouts of Valavi, adventurers and knights have been dispatched to various places..."
Sena looked a little distressed.
The lack of manpower cannot be compensated in any way.
Darkness obviously understood this.
"Not enough manpower? Then the Lord's Mansion..."
"Yes, Lord Dustinis has also sent out guards, but it is more important to allow the residents of the town to take refuge than to fight back."
Darkness's father is the acting lord of the town of Axel. His first priority is to protect the residents from getting hurt, so he cannot join the counterattack.
"As you know, Axel is almost powerless right now. I can only ask you all for help."
"Hey, isn't this the end of the road?"
"what to do……?"
"Restricting Valavi's movements? It would be great if we could freeze him, but that size seems difficult. The protective wall won't be breached immediately. Because the regenerative ability doesn't work against malicious attacks..."
Xiaolin scratched his head in distress.
He never thought that a slime like this would be very strong, but who could have thought that a giant slime would be such a headache, especially since it was a monster that had a very bad relationship with Miss Liuzi.
Suddenly, Kobayashi thought of what happened when he dealt with Walavi before.
He turned and said to Sena, "I said, I want to gather the remaining adventurers in the town who can use magic. I want them to trap Valavi and the wall."
"what happened?"
"Walavi will be attracted by magic, right? As long as we gather people with strong magic power, we can guide it. At least it should be able to change its direction and not destroy the streets. Once it is led to the right place, we can use magic attacks to trap it."
"I see."
Huihui nodded thoughtfully.
Darkness was slightly uneasy and asked, “Even if he attacks, he will regenerate immediately. Is this an opponent that can be defeated in a normal battle?”
“I think the best thing to do is to keep attacking until the regeneration speed can’t keep up, or to hit it so hard that it can’t regenerate anymore.” Megumin suggested, and shouted, “Well, of course! There’s no magic stronger than Explosion Magic, so it’s actually impossible!”
"That's it. One-hit kill, aim for the core and destroy it!"
"Is that so? As long as we can aim at the core, it doesn't matter how big it is...!"
Now they understood the battle plan.
Slime is very strong, but its core is its weakness. No matter how strong a slime is, it cannot protect its core. As long as the core is destroyed, it will naturally perish.
"The problem is..."
"How do I find the core?"
Xiaolin and Darkness said the same thing. Besides, there was no time left, and they didn't know if they could find it.
Aqua said pessimistically: "Really? Can we really win?"
Xiao Lin bet.
If he said he couldn't win, the stupid goddess would definitely slip away at the first moment.
"We have to win. We have to succeed no matter what."
"...Good luck to you."
This is all Sena could say as she was unable to help.
Ah, there is really nothing I can do...!
"Well, try a little harder then."
Kobayashi rubbed his hands and walked out of the city with his companions.
There was an extremely huge Walavi, and its appearance had changed greatly. From its original round yellow color, it had become like a giant python, as if it was going to devour everything.
When everyone saw its appearance, they were stunned.
“It’s too big…”
“It’s unbelievable… it’s so huge when you see it in person.”
The size of Walavi was so huge that it blocked out the sun and the sky. Axel was insignificant in front of it. Once he entered the town, it would be destroyed and razed to the ground in an instant.
So we must get rid of Walavi completely before it gets here!
"Hurry up, the remaining magical professions in the city will induce it."
"The closer you get, the bigger it gets."
Aqua said anxiously, "Can we really win?! This is terrible! What should we do, Honey Sword!?"
"I will do my best for the goddess! Go ahead!... And, my name is Mitsurugi." Mitsurugi Hibiki seemed very confident, probably because he got the magic sword back.
Unfortunately, the opponent is a slime.
If it were any other creature, it would have been cut in half by his sword.
However, what Yujian Xiangye said was right. At this point there was no chance for them to escape. If they wanted to survive, they could only defeat Walavi.
Xiaolin and Huihui were waiting on the high ground with a wide view.
"Meihui, how are your preparations going?"
“Nothing is left out.”
Huihui raised her head and shouted proudly, “I have asked the magicians here to stand by until I receive instructions. The location is impeccable, a wilderness with no obstacles and a high platform that overlooks the view, which is a necessary condition for releasing explosion magic.”
Their tactics are simple.
The others will find the core of the Slime Valavi, and then Huihui will completely destroy it. As long as they can destroy its core, they will win the battle.
"By the way..."
Xiao Lin was a little curious and asked, "If you want to trap him, wouldn't it be better to have an obstacle?"
"No, if it's not here, my plan will be useless. Without a doubt, this is the most suitable location. Leave it to me, I will try my best to increase the success rate of Kobayashi's operation!" Huihui slammed her tablet.
Although I don’t know where she gets her confidence from, I can only rely on her now.
It would be nice if it could end smoothly.
At this moment, Wiz ran over in a hurry.
“…Mr. Kobayashi, Ms. Huihui!”
“What’s wrong, Wiz? It’s still early for the battle.”
Xiaolin looked at the panting witch curiously, not knowing why she came here.
Wiz shook her head and said timidly, "No, no... that's already here!"
"...Xiao Lin, behind, behind."
Huihui pointed behind him with an equally panicked expression.
Boom————
The earth was shaking continuously. Unbeknownst to them, the gigantic Walavi had completely reached the edge of the town and was walking towards them.
Even Xiaolin was frightened by its huge size.
"Everyone, everyone... prepare for battle!"
Xiaolin shouted loudly.
Wiz also hurriedly ran away. She was the one commanding another team and shouldn't be here.
the other side.
Aqua was a little surprised and said, "There are still quite a few people in the magic profession left."
"Let's meet up quickly."
“…I see, that’s the meeting point.”
Mitsurugi Hibiki and Darkness said this and quickened their pace to move forward.
That was the meeting place they agreed to meet. Only when they arrived could Megumin take the initiative to attack, but -
“Hey, Darkness and the others are about to pass the designated meeting point! Megumin, are you ready?!”
"I've already asked Wiz for help. Leave the rest to her."
“Leave it to her… Huihui, can you not go?”
"Yeah, it's useless even if I'm there."
Huihui shook her head.
what happened?
This is not like her at all!
Seeing this, Xiaolin stopped trying to persuade her.
After leaving here, Wiz met up with Aqua and the others, "Here they come! It's Miss Darkness and the others! Everyone, get ready!"
"Then, just press... and then run past that spot and attack, right?"
“No! It’s to trap it. Trap it! Didn’t you listen to Huihui’s instructions?”
Funifla scolded Yoyo.
She held her hands to her chest and said confidently, "It's okay, calm down. Okay, let's get ready."
“Ah, wait a minute!?”
Youyou quickly chased after him.
When it comes to magical professions, the Crimson Demon Clan is of course indispensable. Funifla and Youyou are very capable. When they knew that Huihui and Youyou needed help, they rushed to help without saying a word.
I really appreciate their efforts.
Afterwards, we must treat them well!
The three of them continued to release powerful magic towards the gigantic Walavi. There were constant roars and explosions, barely able to slow down the slime's steps.
"Oh...oh, is that someone who's a magician?!"
"Valavi's movements...stop!"
"Is it a falling hole?"
Xiaolin nodded.
The magic professions used the Endless Swamp together, and the pit became large enough for the guy to fall into. This was Huihui's idea, and it was also the main reason why she did not request to set up obstacles.
"Yes. With such a large mass, even if there is an obstacle blocking its progress, it will be destroyed quickly. But we can use its mass in reverse. As long as the foothold sinks, it will be unable to move due to its own weight."
It turned out to be the case.
In that case, as long as I keep casting spells, I won't be able to escape from the hole, right?
What a genius idea!
This is a great use of magic.
Huihui said confidently, “Although we can’t trap it forever, this should buy enough time. I’ll start chanting and preparing now. Xiaolin, are you going to go down?”
The two are currently on a high ground.
Although Xiaolin knows magic, he is better at melee combat. Plus, Aqua and the others will become headless flies without his command, so he has to go down as well.
"That's right. After retrieving Aqua and the others, I will try to do what I can with the other adventurers. I'll leave this to you."
"give it to me!"
Huihui slapped her tablet again, and while making a loud noise, she shouted, “Now is the time for me to show my true value. Until then, please be patient!”
After saying goodbye to the little loli, Xiaolin and Liuzi ran quickly towards the plain.
Soon he met up with the others.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting!" Xiao Lin looked around and asked, "What's going on now?"
“This side is going according to plan and progressing smoothly.”
"It helped a lot."
Xiao Lin saw Walavi falling into the hole. Although it tried its best to struggle out, it could not move at all due to the help of other magic professions.
All we have to do now is wait for Megumin’s explosion magic.
Vanir came up and laughed, "Adventurer on the edge of the cliff who shines only at the end of his rope! How's the progress?"
"The prefix is too long!"
Xiao Lin made a noise and said, "We are currently preparing. There should be no problem with Chris. From now on, it will be a race against time... Wiz, how are you preparing?"
"Yes! As agreed beforehand, the adventurers have tried their best to trap it! When the magicians used the endless swamp and ice magic to immobilize it, other adventurers also started to attack, but they did not achieve any good results. ... Of course, if it was just to buy time, it was very successful."
Is it the same as expected?
The slime has thick skin and flesh, and will regenerate endlessly unless its core is damaged.
But that's okay.
It's enough to trap it now.
"Okay, let's go help now! Be careful to split it up while trying to reduce its power! This is the key point, let's go!"
Xiaolin and the other adventurers attacked one after another.
But as Wiz said, it could only cause a little damage to Valavi, and it wasn't even as fast as the regeneration speed.
"Mr. Kobayashi! It's bad, the other teams can't hold on any longer!"
Wiz couldn't help but shout.
Xiao Lin clicked his tongue in dissatisfaction and thought to himself, "Did you notice that we can't fight back?!"
Vanir suggested again: "If we continue like this, the whole army will be wiped out. So, what are you going to do, Xiaolin? I think withdrawing from here is also a good option."
Xiaolin scratched his head in distress.
Since his magic didn't work and Miss Liu Zi didn't cause any real harm, he seemed to be really helpless.
