I went and put the slime in an armlock.
The Slime’s spikes dug into my scales and pierced my muscle.
Still, I kept my arms tight around the spiky ball.
Suddenly, a crack appeared in the spikey ball’s outer layer.
It seems he formed a mouth in order to speak…
“What do you think you’re doing?”
It’s a shame I don’t have the ability speak in the human language, so I can’t answer him.
It’s not like I was going to answer anyway, though.
While holding the slime, I ran towards the cliff and started flying.
When I flew up high, I detected a weak life signature (E.N. On my sensors, in my spaceship), which I promptly looked at.
I could see a girl with orange, braided hair, holding a cane as tall as herself.
If I’m not mistaken, she is an [Elfling hyuma], and her name is Mariel.
She looked at me with her mouth wide agape.
What?
Is she pursuing me ?
It doesn’t look like it, but what else could she be doing out here?
Anyway, she is not an enemy, I understand that much.
Whatever her reason for being here, it’s fine.
If she is just going to watch the fight from the sidelines, there is nothing I need to do about her.
The Black Lizard is over there too, she is looking at me while whimpering, obviously worried about me.
Ah, seems that braided girl run into each other
After all, Black Lizard is still worn out from the fight before.
After all, [Dragon scale powder] is really a fearsome ability. However, being accustomed to life in the forest with my companions… I don’t want to abandon it.
‘Oi, what are you thinking, Evil Plague Dragon!’, shouted the slime.
The slime’s needles which struck my body were retracting and extending repeatedly.
During the flight, I felt that his actual strength is only as strong as a kid.
We are exactly above the cliff right now.
I am no longer worthy of being called by the name Milla gave me, all because of this monster.
In this forest, in which I live with the Red Monkeys and the Black Lizard, there is no place for his slime.
The slime kept retracting and extending his needles, stabbing all over my body.
This guy’s physical attacks aren’t too strong, though. I have to endure!
As for me, being tangled like this is also kind of lucky. My only worry – that he might try to escape – has disappeared.
That pride of his has dug his grave. I don’t think there would be anyone to save him now.
‘Oi, what’s so funny, why’re you laughing?’
As I put more strength in my grip, [Paralyzing claw] halted the slime’s actions, and I continued to dive towards the cliff.
Being pressed firmly to my body, there wouldn’t be any possibility of avoiding a direct hit.
A fall from this height would still cause severe damage, even with his damage mitigation skills.
Certainly, the river below has an amazing, unholdable current.
Since I won’t have any energy to fly afterwards, I’ll just get washed away with the currents.
I might die, or I might get washed to the middle of nowhere, or perhaps I’m going to be stranded nearby.
‘Okay, okay! I admit, it’s my defeat… I won’t go near that village anymore – I will also leave the forest! So please…’
…
This guy will just return and cause disaster again, once he gained or surpassed my level of strength, if I let him live.
‘I can’t die in a place like this! Stoooop……!’
Ignoring it, I focused on the river below and aimed at one of the rocks visible on the river.
‘Gyaaa! NOT IN THIS PLACE.!!!!’
The slime spewed his spider thread towards the wall of the cliff.
‘Make it in time!… Make it in time!…’
(E.N. Well, that’s painfully easy, isn’t it?)
‘YOU! STOP! STOOOOP! STTTOOOOOOP! IRUSHIAAAAAA…….’
I changed my positioning, and pushed the slime down with both my hands towards the rock.
Though in this position I won’t be able to accelerate well, It might provide some relief for the slime. (E.N. Wait wat)
The mouths started saying various words repeatedly and randomly.
‘NO! STOP! NOT IN THIS PLACE! I CAN’T DIE! GOD! YOU PROMISED A…’
T.L. (sound effect) [A big badda boom].
Now that the slime has been smashed into smithereens by me using the falling speed and my body weight, his words ceased to be heard at all.
My claws were cracked, and severe pain could be felt piercing me from both of my hands.
The scales on my leg shattered and I felt the bones got distorted, heavilly.
But it was worth it – I managed to repel my body into the air.
Relieved at the moment, the recoil from the slime’s tentacle remained, which still stuck to my body. It pulled me towards the remnants of the rock
`Gu~uga~a~tsu!’
Because of that, I hit my head and I felt my conciousness darken.
The slime’s remains, which stuck to my body, slowly came off.
This was the last thing I felt before I lost my conciousness.

This transmission is for code ‘alpha-omega-epsilon’. I am evading callsign ‘beta-beta-alpha’. If any federation cells are within reach, I will be availiable at the following co-ordinates [Redacted], for short bursts of information transfer that will contain some of the decoded material. This will happen every week or two from now on, I hope. to meet operational criteria, HQ must bring the new recruits up to speed, because I am not a reliable source of work for decoding these papers. My situation is far too perilous.
Godspeed, gentlemen. Let not the Empire of Man devour your ambitions. We will have our freedom!
