That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Light Novel, Chapter 313

Chapter 313

“So you did? You idiot! You cannot even control them . How could you not understand that there are things you should not get involved in!?”

I was so exasperated that I could barely speak .

Ridiculous . That was all that was in my head .

According to her brief explanation, they had captured several Arch Demons and killed them .

Among them, one was chosen and sealed within Magnus .

They had thought it was safe, as they had made it so that it could only use as much power as a Greater Demon .

I’ve never heard something so ridiculous .

During the short time that I listened to Irina, the Demon Lord finished naming himself .

The incredible amount of energy was now stable, and I could tell at a glance that it was perfectly controlled .

Demons really were formidable beings .

“Kept you waiting, huh? I am ‘Bernaclad . ’ You should all feel honored to have witnessed my birth . ”

The Demon Lord introduced himself proudly . Bernaclad .

It pretty simple, just putting two names together . However, what was important was having a name . There was no use worrying about what it would be .

But the only people here who seemed to understand the significance of a name, was me and the teachers .

Now, what to do…

Perhaps I should no longer consider myself a spectator .

Because things had become much more complicated than I had been expecting .

◇◇◇

The first one to move was the poison tiger .

It roared loudly and then fearlessly moved in front of Bernaclad .

“Y-you… Are you trying to protect us…?!”

The students looked confused as it faced the demon .

“Hahaha! This is an amusing joke . A mere beast thinks he can match me . Very well, I shall play along!”

Bernaclad laughed happily .

And then he approached the poison tiger .

“Everyone, concentrate and support the poison tiger!”

Karma shouted .

It was as if his voice brought sanity back to the group . They all looked serious again as they began to move .

They were starting to gain nerves of steel .

Not a single student was crying or looked afraid .

Numerous colors of light rained over the poison tiger, strengthening it .

Against Bernaclad, no human would survive a single blow . Regardless of how buffed they were .

And so they all understood that the poison tiger was their lifeline .

Now, what was I to do?

I was happy to see how much they had grown, but it was still very likely that they would all end up very dead .

The poison tiger would only buy them a little time .

What was important for me, was that we did not lose anyone else .

And that I had to save Magnus .

Even more, I wanted to defeat Bernaclad without revealing my identity, if it was possible .

The third one might be difficult .

Well, I would figure it out when the time came .

The students watched the fight .

Perhaps Bernaclad was still playing, because it almost looked like an even match .

But as I said, it really was just a matter of time .

Because I could see clearly the difference in strength between Bernaclad and the poison tiger .

Just then…

“I didn’t expect this to happen… I’m sorry . We didn’t mean to involve all of you . I won’t ask you to believe me . But you should all escape to the shore . Master Jujilas has sent a request for rescue, so a boat should be here soon . I will buy you some time to make up for what we did . Now hurry!”

Irina stood up and said .

Rozari was the first to respond to her .

“Miss Irina, I will stay with you . I cannot leave Magnus alone . ”

And then she stood next to Irina .

Oh, what now?

She was probably telling the truth about Jujilas calling for a rescue boat, but I had a feeling that part of it was just a hope that she had .

In the first place, that man could not be trusted . It would probably be bad to put any faith in this boat .

“Hey, Irina . Do you also have a hatred for Demon Lord Rimuru?”

“Hate? Yes, of course . My friends were killed . Old friends from back home . At the very least, I wanted him to experience the same pain as me . I would ruin the academy that was so dear to the Great Demon Lord…”

“You couldn’t have . Not with such a soft personality where you can’t watch as the students are killed off…”

“Be quiet . You don’t know anything until you try… And what is wrong with you anyway? You keep calling me, Irina, Irina, as if you know me . It’s very annoying, you know?!”

She had answered my question, but was also a little angry to have a younger student treat her so casually .

Well, she didn’t know who I was, so it was no wonder .

“Really? Well, that’s not important . ”

I ignored her grievances and thought about what to do .

If the poison tiger couldn’t do it, there was no point in even considering Irina and Rozari .

Even if the teachers joined them, it would be of no use .

So…

“Karma . I got a telepathic message from the poison tiger! ‘I called my friends . You should all run!’ That’s it! It wants to help us…”

This report came from a teary-eyed beastkin student .

It seemed that they had bonded over a short period of time .

Still, this poison tiger was being very admirable .

A strange cry came from the sky above, and then a hedro griffin swooped down and attacked Bernaclad .

The friends that the poison tiger had called were the monsters of the island .

Bernaclad easily blocked the attack of the hedro griffin .

But then its feet were swallowed by the sand .

The sand scorpion had used its power to turn the earth to sand .

It then sunk into the sand, which was its domain, and when least expected, it appeared on the surface and fired off heat needles with its snake-like tail .

And yet, even that was not enough .

Bernaclad’s large hand emitted a hexagon-shaped magic shield that erased them .

There was too much of a difference in power .

Even the freezing dance of the ice naga was of no use .

Ice bullets shot out from all sides, leaving no room for escape . And yet Bernaclad’s barrier protected him .

“So you did? You idiot! You cannot even control them . How could you not understand that there are things you should not get involved in!?”

I was so exasperated that I could barely speak .
