Tensei Kenja no Isekai Raifu ~Daini no Shokugyo wo Ete, Sekai Saikyou ni Narimashita~ Chapter 83

‘Protect the Lishia leaves!’

‘Kill them all!’

The slimes cried as they surrounded the Greedy Boar .

Their eyes burned with hatred over the ravaged fields .

The Greedy Boar was large, as might be imagined for something that could eat so many crops .

I was pretty sure they were supposed to be C-Rank .

And now that the slimes faced this monster…

‘Yuji! Kill it!’

They called my name .

No matter how hot their rage burned, the slimes could not attack anything .

I had to unleash attack magic through Magic Transfer .

The slimes were very much aware of this .

‘Magic Transfer–Fire Ball!’

I answered their request and unleashed attack magic towards the Greedy Boar .

And then a Fireball shot out and burned the monster .

There was now a roasted boar in front of them .

‘Onto the next one!’

‘We’ll find them all!’

The slimes did not seem any less enthusiastic .

They were thirsty for blood, and so they spread out again to find their next prey .

‘There’s one!’

‘Over here as well!’

As they spread out further, more and more slimes asked for me to attack .

I answered them all and sent Fireball after Fireball .

And then…when about 50 Greedy Boars had been killed .

A slime made a report that was not about an enemy monster .

‘…There’s a strange ball here!’

‘There’s something strange in the forest!’

‘It looks like a magic stone!’

…Apparently, the slimes had found some kind of ball .

As I looked at it through ‘Shared Senses’…I saw that there was indeed a blue, glowing ball there .

It was 30 cm in diameter .

‘…Is it a cursed magic stone?’

‘Cursed magic stone . ’

The item that had been brought to the Dryad’s forest . It unleashed cursed energy and was the cause of a monster outbreak .

It had been brought in by the members of a crime organization known as the Blue Moon of Salvation… But this one looked different than that cursed stone .

And the trees around it weren’t dead .

Well, they didn’t look that great either, but the cursed magic stone had the ability to kill all trees and plants by just being placed on the ground .

There hadn’t even been a blade of grass around it .

So this was likely something different entirely… But it still felt eerie .

My gut feeling was that it was not good .

I could have the slimes bring it back so I could study it…?

No, I couldn’t make the slimes touch something I wasn’t sure about .

It would probably be best for me to go directly .

Thanks to the amount of magic energy I had, even the real cursed stone did not work on me .

‘Proud Wolf . I need you to take me to the place where this stone is . ”

‘Understood!’

I sent the order as I left the town .

After a while, the Proud Wolf came running towards me .

‘There’s another one here!’

‘Isn’t that the same one?’

While I was riding on the Proud Wolf’s back, other slimes told me that they had found stones too .

So there was more than one .

I wasn’t sure if they naturally occurred in nature or if they were manmade…but they probably weren’t natural if the slimes were so suspicious of them .

I thought about it until we arrived .

There were about 10 slimes surrounding the stone .

I couldn’t sense anything like danger from the blue magic stones .

There was a thin layer of snow covering it .

If this was a cursed magic stone, then the snow would have melted .

This meant it was probably safe to touch .

And so I stretched out my hand .

But…something unexpected happened as I was about to touch it .

The surface of the magic stone turned a little darker .

And it was just in the spot I was about to touch .
