Apparently, âHellfire of Deathâ consumed way too much MP.
Well, it would with that much power. I understood why I had run out of MP.
If anything, it was odd that I was able to do it at all. -205064? Usually, you wouldnât be able to use a spell if it left you below 0.
My HP hadnât been this low when being blown away by the dragon, so this HP reduction was likely related to the overuse of magic as well.
It looked like I would have to be much more careful in the future.
âŚIn any case, was this world I was in really a dream?
The status display, skills, magic, slimes. All of it was stuff that could only be from a dream. But then again, it all felt so real.
I never had a dream where I felt hunger or pain before.
What if it wasnât a dreamâŚ?
The only possibility I could think of had to do with the message I saw on my computer.
The one about being summoned to another world.
âŚWell, if this wasnât a dream, that was fine as well.
I had more hope here then I would if I returned to that sh*tty company.
In any case, it would likely become clear in a few hours, whether this was all a dream or not.
That would be when my alarm would ring.
So, what I should do now isâŚ
âI should secure some food first.â
Unfortunately, the dragon had turned into ash.
âHellfire of Deathâ not only consumed a lot of MP, but the damage was too great.
Destroying this much of the surrounding land made it very difficult to use.
âYuji. Leaves!â
Just like before, the slimes were suggesting that I eat the leaves that were growing in the area.
They did not look particularly tasty⌠In fact, they looked a little sad, as they had wilted a little under the heat of my magic.
Regardless, they would be my last resort.
Mountain vegetables could be delicious depending on how you cooked them. But there were no cooking tools here. Besides, some of them could be poisonous.
Just because slimes liked them, it didnât mean they wouldnât harm humans.
To that point, I could probably cook and eat some meat if I had anyâŚ
âLook, are there any monsters nearby who arenât too strong? Oh, and not poisonous.â
âThere was⌠But your magic scared them away.â
I see.
Well, I guess they would run away after such an extravagant display. I would run away myself.
âThenâŚwe will have to search. Spread out!â
So saying, I made the slimes split up.
It would be much more efficient to search for prey in larger numbers.
âYes!â
And with that, the slimes scattered in every direction.
Even though separated, our senses were apparently still connected, and I could hear their voices from all around the forest.
âŚA few minutes later.
âFound one!â
One of the slimes had found our prey.
Upon hearing this, I activated âShared Senses.â
Now I was able to see the same thing that the slime was seeing.
It looked like the slime had discovered a three-meter wild boar.
A boar⌠That being said, something about it including the color was quite different from an ordinary boar.
It was likely a type of monster. There were dragons in this world, after all.
For now, I would have the slime hide so that it would not be noticed andâŚwait, huh?
The boar was looking at us?
âAGGH!! It found us!â
Just as the boar started looking in our direction, I heard the slime scream.
âYouâre slimes! Donât you have resistance to physical attacks?â
âWe do, but not against such an enemyâŚAGHH! Here it comes! Help!â
My vision started to spin wildly as it rose into the air.
Apparently, it had been rammed into.
âAggh!â
âShared Sensesâ also allowed me to feel the damage through the slime.
Unfortunately, it seemed that there were limits to their resistance to physical attacks.
And the slime was so far away that I couldnât even see it, which meant I couldnât attack the boar with magic.
How could I help it in this situationâ
As I thought this, I remembered that there was a skill called âMonster Strengthening.â
âMonster Strengthening!â
I shouted. My body then grew heavier along with a sensation of something leaving me.
When I checked my status, my HP had gone from 62 to 51. My MP was still around -200,000.
It seemed like a really bad idea to use magic when your MP was negative.
But still, it had an effect.
The slime was still getting blown away every time it was rammed, but it was no longer taking damage.
âHuh? It doesnât hurt?â
I could hear the slimeâs puzzled voice.
ThisâŚmeant that itâs defense ability and physical attack resistance had gone up.
Still, it didnât change the fact that it couldnât damage the enemy.
âŚI was worried about my MP, but I would try one other thing.
ââAttack Transferââ âFireballâ!â
âAttack Transferâ was also a Tamer Skill.
If I was guessing correctly, this skill wouldâŚ
Just as I was thinking this, a pale bullet appeared in front of the slime andâshot towards the boar.
It hit its target and blew it into the air.
âHuh? Huh?â
The slime was confused as the monster boar fell to the ground.
It looked like I had defeated it.
This skillâŚwas strong.
Still, I had reached my limits in terms of strength.
The Fireball didnât use much MP, and so the depletion was minimalâŚif anything, it had recovered a little since I used Hellfire of Death. But I only had 20 HP now.
