Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (LN) - Volume 20 Chapter 1.5

Geld was struggling.

The enemy he faced was Insect General Mujika.

Mujika is a warrior-type insect majin (insector), clad in a garishly colored shell like warrior’s armor and wielding a sword with both hands.

Mujika’s strength was equal to that of Geld.

Both men never gave an inch.

And their subordinates are also fighting back and forth.

The Yellow Numbers and Orange Numbers, who maintain an ironclad line of defense, push back a swarm of giant centipedes more than 30 meters in length led by Mujika. Because of the difference in size, teams were formed to deal with each centipede.

When they are injured, they heal themselves with healing medicine, and when they get tired, they switch with those in the rear to maintain the front line while avoiding overworking themselves. This was the result of their regular training.

Therefore, the battle remained in a stalemate even after several hours had passed, but the most notable moment was the one-on-one battle between Geld and Mujika.

Mujika wielded a dagger with the skill of a first-rate martial artist, and judging from the high level of her skill, it was hard to believe that she had developed this technique on her own.

It seems that there were reincarnated people in the “other world,” but that is not important. What was certain was that Mujika was a strong opponent.

Geld catches the sword with his big shield. The shield is also a gem that has become a part of Geld and reached a mythical-grade. It is like Geld’s flesh and blood, and has been transformed to have properties similar to the exoskeleton of the insectoid majin (insector).

Therefore, even a slight damage is instantly repaired.

The atmosphere shakes and plasma scatters, but Geld keeps a cool face. In return, he reaves Mujika with a meat crusher.

Mujika, however, is also a great fighter, and she anticipates the attack and parries it with her sword. Not only that, his countless legs pop out from the gaps in his armor, and he unleashes a barrage of blows as if piercing the Geld.

Geld, who seemed to be on the verge of a crisis, responded with ‘Demon Lord Haki’.

Geld’s haki, which was given the ‘Corrosion’ effect by the Ultimate Gift ‘Gourmet King Beelzebub Chaos Eater’, which was given the ‘Corrosion’ effect by the Ultimate Gift ‘Gourmet King Beelzebub’, bites Mujika’s leg with erratic movements, as if it had a will of its own.

Mujika’s leg was not defeated either, and it was covered with the evil youki and canceled out Geld’s chaos-eaters.

These battles were repeated, and the situation was still unsettled.

However, the battle suddenly came to an end.

“Hm. Even Tishorn is dead. No way. I didn’t think our forces here were this strong, but now you are ready.

What?

It’s none of your business. It’s been a long time since I’ve met a warrior who could compete with me. I’d have liked to compete with you more, but I think it’s time to move on.

Mujika says unilaterally and distances herself from Geld. Then, he showed his retreat with the surviving bugs.

Geld does not let his guard down even though he sees this.

But then, Geld also notices.

（The atmosphere of the battlefield is strange. Is this intense fear a sign that something is about to happen?

It was so overwhelmingly dangerous that I wondered why I had not noticed it before.

Geld stares at the sky.

Dark clouds were swirling, and it seemed as if something was about to appear.

“All hands, maintain full alert!”

Geld’s order causes even those who are being treated to start moving.

Geld’s ever-present and ever-more determined appearance made everyone understand that the battle was not over.
