âDid you finish making the armor that I asked you to?â
âOf course! âŚItâs my best work yet!â
Gaiger said as he showed me the new armor.
As slimes could wear anything, it was made to fit the Proud Wolf.
âIt looks like the other one.â
âAye! However, I bet the abilities are quite different!â
Gaiger looked incredibly confident.
It was as if he wanted me to put it to the test immediately.
âCan I test it then?â
âOf course!â
So saying, Gaiger put it on the slime.
Once it was onâŚthe slime shouted happily as it jumped around.
âOhhh! Amazing! I feel so light!â
Slimes normally didnât jump into the air like that.
However, this slimeâŚwas jumping so high that it went past the roof of Gaigerâs shop.
This wasâŚamazing.
âTry jumping horizontally.â
âOkay!â
And so the slime jumped forward on the ground.
It was the kind of movement you would never expect from a slime.
âIt-itâs faster than meâŚâ
The Proud Wolf said as he watched in shock.
It was true. The slime was now faster than the Proud WolfâŚ
I had suspected that something amazing would be made, but not this amazingâŚ
âThis armor is incredibleâŚâ
âIsnât it!? âŚMost people would live their entire lives without knowing what itâs like to work with a Fire Dragon gemstone! And so I really put my back into it!â
âWell, except that it was actually a âslightly largeâ lesser fire dragon, not a Fire Dragon.â
Gaiger had an expression that suggested he wanted to say, âoh, damn it!â
He quickly made sure that no one was listening before turning back to me.
âOops. Yes, thatâs right. âŚBut it really is something⌠How did you even do it?â
âThe same way I killed the lesser fire dragons. I cooled it off with water.â
It was half true.
Though, it was âCurse of Eternal Tundraâ that dealt the final blow.
ââŚBut I heard that the last time it came out, the rain and rivers were not enough to kill it⌠Well, you were able to kill all of those lesser fire dragons, so itâs not surprising you managed to do itâŚI guessâŚ?
âYeah. I barely managed it. âŚBut never mind about that. Can I test it with magic?â
âYes, test away! I am confident that it can withstand the most powerful magic!â
Strong words.
ButâŚI had a bad feeling about it.
âWhere should I do it? I want a wider space than last time.â
âThen you should go to the lot at the back of the store. Itâs empty.â
âWould fire spread if I used it?â
Last time, I had tested the magic in the storeâŚbut it seemed like a bad idea this time.
And I tended to have a good instinct for these kinds of things.
ââŚFire magic might be dangerous. But you could use water magic. Is that all right?â
âFine.â
Indeed, even if I failed to adjust the power properly, water magic would not do as much damage.
And so I led the slime to the empty lot in the back.
And thenâŚwhen the slime was in the center of it, I began to chant.
âMagic Transfer â Water Discharge.â
âThe next instant.
An incredible amount of water shot out of the slime.
It was a lot more powerful than I had intended.
I would say, 3 times as powerful.
