AUthor note: here’s the list of Kuma’s ability as of chap 6 (and some explanation)
1. Kuma’s Excal^libur : this sword is not the real Excalibur but an imitation, it consist of 2 swords excal and libur (libeur). So to differentiate between real and fake I give ^ symbol to the name (this sword is essentially a twin blade, but Kuma is still just a slime so he can’t wield this sword like it was meant to be wielded) here is a link to see what its single blade form looks like (change the shade of white to black and the black shade to a shallow golden color, and adds golden veins on its black shade and black veins on its gold shade) and here’s what the twinblade form looks like (with one blade black, and the other shallow gold. And add gold and black veins respectively) more or less, that is how they looks like
2. Kuma’s Mimick ability : ability to mimic anything it eats…even dust…and garbage, this ability uses a lot of energy so after using it for an extended amount of time Kuma will be really hungry. As for the name Mimick and not Mimic is because I want to give it an ancient feeling like Magick and Magic
3. Air jump: Kuma’s ability to gather magic on any part of his body, and explodes it to propell him in any direction he wants
4. Kuma’s inability to use magic: Kuma thought that there are some kind of barrier that prevents him from materializing magic to the outside world. Theoretically Kuma can be the worlds strongest (mortal) magician with his amount of mana and excellent mana control, but there’s something that prevents him from being one.
So that’s his current status…on to the battle!
But first…
(Eris’s POV)
It was on a night like this
I heard brother told Kuma-san something about me
I didn’t heard all of it clearly but I did heard something about my past
About…
My connection to the increase of monsters activity
I know for a long time that I’m not a normal child
I was found in a forest when I was just a baby
No one knows about my lineage,
Or how can I survive in that forest without getting eaten by monsters,
Or about my silver hair,
Even I don’t know anything.
Even so…when I heard that I’m the cause of the suffering of many others…I felt guilty.
I tried my best to act like usual, and everything is fine until,
I heard something in the inn lobby.
The adventurers are talking about a mirror from the legend, said to have the power to grant any wish to the wielder.
They also talked about how similar the dungeon that was just found and the one that was passed down from that legend.
Without a second thought I used
I ran as fast as I can.
I sneaked around the guards and enter the dungeon
At first everything went smoothly and I also made some signs so I don’t get lost
‘No matter what, I have to find that mirror’
I continued to delve deeper into the dungeon with
I walked and walked until I realized that I was surrounded by monsters
‘How…they aren’t supposed to be able to sense my presence…’
they have the same shapes and forms of a rat but more bigger and grotesque with bones and meats popping up in some part of their body.
As I watch their movements one by one, suddenly five of them started to chase me with their fangs and claws.
A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.
Surprised, I somehow manage to dodge all of their attacks.
I walked back slowly…then, my back touched the wall.
‘Th..they got me cornered..’
At that moment, I realized…what stupid thing have I done…sneaking into a dungeon after hearing some rumor about a mirror. Now…I may not be able to meet those that are precious to me anymore.
I screamed, I was so scared of the thoughts of not able to meet with brother and Kuma anymore
I don’t want to die, I want to play with brother and Kuma more…
I felt tears forming at the edge of my eyes
and then..I heard his voice
————————–
(Eriiiiiiis…!!!!!!)
I flew using
(Get out of the way you monsters!!!!)
I used
Using my flaming blade I slash all the monsters that’s standing in my way.
Suddenly 3 [Demon Rat]s jump towards me.
Of course I saw through their intention, I could see a big shadow coming from behind me.
I turn my blade and jump backwards, stabbing the biggest [Demon Rat] behind me in the process.
I pierced it, straight to the heart. It squirmed a little bit before finally waste its last breath.
‘Too easy! These monsters are too stupid!’
Seeing their leader got killed that easily, they all started to feel restless.
Moving backwards slowly one by one.
Just when I thought that they are going to run away…
They all started charging toward me.
(Bad choice you bastards! No mercy to those that have any bad intentions to my family!!!!)
Countless claws and fangs are directed towards me, but I dodged all of them easily.
‘It’s too easy, because their leader has been killed their movement have become sloppy and unorganized’
Just like that I slash, stab, slash, slash, and kill every monsters that are in my way.
For sometime the sound of metal cutting through flesh and monster’s death throes are the only thing resounding through out the dungeon
********************************
‘…..I’m done’
I take a look at Eris
All the monsters are killed, Eris is unharmed, there’s no better outcome than this
While still bathed in the monsters blood,
‘I…’
My body…I can feel that something is different.
I didn’t know that my body can move this amazingly fast and precise, it feels like I’m already used to fighting monsters… it felt…refreshing.
‘….better go back to the surface with Eris.’
(Eris, are you okay? You are not harmed are you?)
“Un…I’m fine…”
(Why are you going inside this dangerous place on your own? You know that we will be worried right)
“Yeah… I know…”
She looks really sad, her eyes are watery. She must be so scared
(Ha…lets just go back, Nanda will scold you when we are back…brace yourself Eris, I won’t help you when that time comes)
“…okay”
‘Haaa….I don’t know what makes her do things this recklessly…’
‘can it be? She overheard Nanda when he was talking about her past?’
‘She did acted weird for a few days after that night…’
‘I’ll have Nanda tell her the truth to her when we are back…’
We walked silently as I try to find and answer to why Eris is acting this way
Just when we are about to reach the stairs
“UuuuuGGRAAAAGGGGGGH!!!!!!!!”
!
(What’s that?!)
That sound just now…I can feel it coming this way and it’s moving really fast!
I quickly stand In front of Eris to shield her…when,
It stopped,
It stopped at a place where we can clearly see it’s self.
A [Behemoth]…
Shit!
(Eri…)
She…
“It..its my fault…”
She overheard us! Damn it Nanda you are dead when I get back!
“I…I’m sorry…I’m sorry…”
Tch..! That monster is clearly smiling when it saw Eris’s terrified face
(ERIS..!!!)
“!”
(Run to the surface! And tell Nanda to send back up here! I will hold it back somehow so…)
Suddenly its body glow a dimly purple light
(Wha?! It’s fast!)
The [Behemoth] jumped and aimed its claw above my head…
Its aiming at Eris?!
When I realize that I quickly change my self to flamberge and put my self between its claw and Eris.
*CLANG!!!* *THUNK!!!*
We exchanged a few blows but shortly after, the monster jumped back to its original position.
I somehow manage to hold back its claws from reaching Eris..but,
I looked at my body…
Its condition is bad…the sword is cracked and chipped everywhere, even the flame is waning down.
This is bad..
(Eris! Quickly! Go ask for help on the surface! Go ask Nanda! There’s not a single monsters upstairs! Go!)
“! O..okay!”
After she heard me shouted at her she quickly ran towards the stairs, good girl.
I quickly turned my eyes towards the beast in front of me.
Ah…shit…this is bad…who would’ve thought that a [Behemoth] would appear in the 6th floor!
I manage to kill all the rat demons that was trying to attack Eris but…a [Behemoth]?! Really?! What are you doing here [Behemoth]! Do your job on the lower floor! Don’t go up!
Shit…this is really bad…but…
I have to do this…
With a really low voice…I whisper,
“
My body is quickly enveloped by gold and dark light on my right and left side respectively.
The lights gather at the center of my body, they form a ball of gold and black then…the ball consumes me.
(With this strongest sword currently in my possesion…I will NOT let you pass beast!!!)
I don’t know if I can survive this encounter or not…but at least I have to buy some time for Eris until she reach the surface…
When the mana surrounding the ball condensed, the ball exploded, revealing my body.
Shaped like a katana with few ornaments and covered with gold and black line all over their blade forming something akin to blood veins
The sword that have both holy and curse attribute, the strongest sword that i can currently mimic…
The Magic Sword
As to raise my spirit i shouted…
(Let’s go [Behemoth]! Uuoooooooh!!!!!!)
And charge toward the beast…
