Become Tyrant On My Own Way
Chapter 52 – IMPERSONATOR MONSTERS
Slowly, Nunu approached Alice and Codi. However, Alice immediately stood before Codi while activating her armor.
“Srararak!”
“Clang.”
From behind Nunu's body, suddenly came out a strange tentacle that was about to harm them both. However, thanks to Alice's rapid motion, the disaster was preventable.
Codi's eyes twisted in shock at the strange sight. He's sweating cold. Wrong in the slightest, the sharp blades of those tentacles could separate his head from his body.
It was not Nunu, but a monster.
Slowly, the monster changed back to its original form. Apparently it was what the townspeople called a nightmare slime.
“Heh, I never thought my disguise would be discovered by a despicable human like you. How do you know, ladies.”
“That's because the real Nunu would be disinclined to call His Highness Prince Helios the Master because of the culture in the southern continent that attributes the specific Master's call to the pet owner. Moreover, Nunu would never have such a gentle expression since she was a strange woman.”
As Alice explained her deduction to the monster, Codi looked at Alice with a strange sight as if to say that you were the least fit to call someone else strange.
“I don't think my disguise failed because of trivialities. But it's okay, you guys will still die in my hands.”
The monster charged towards the two of them. Alice came forward and raised her sword. Twenty centimeters from the monster, Alice raised her sword. However, even at such a close distance, Alice's sword failed to hit the monster. Alice's sword twisted to the right so that it failed to hit the monster.
Unfortunately, Alice's failure was not caused by the skill of the monster, but because of Alice's own clumsiness. He is the swordsman who is dubbed as a zero monster because as long as he joins into mercenary, the monster record that successfully wounded his sword is zero alias zero.
Codi was shocked to see a scene that for a lifetime would never be witnessed anywhere else. However, he immediately regained his consciousness and rushed to fend off the monster attack that Alice had failed to withstand.
“Pak, sir, sir.”
There was a clashing sound between the knives in the tentacles of the monster against the dagger belonging to Codi.
Alice repeatedly wanted to help Codi by getting into battle. But like a joke, every sword he swung, let alone attack, even touch the monster never did in the slightest.
Until suddenly the monster floated a raw bogeman through its tentacles right to the center of Alice's heart until Alice was bounced away. Seeing the chance of the monster's attention being diverted from him, Codi immediately chose to retreat along with Alice.
“Ck, you useless woman! You can't even hurt the monster once. Apparently your great sword is just a display!”
“Aaaaaaah.” Let alone being sad, something unfounded passion actually awakens in Alice. He held onto his reddened face about being too happy about the excitation of Codi's insults.
Seeing that, Codi could only look at Alice with a look of disdain.
However, Codi soon realizes that despite the swordman's clumsy use of the sword, Alice is a great tanker. It can be seen that even though it has been exposed to raw bogeman from the slime nightmare whose attack is famous for being so deadly, Alice's body turned out to be fine.
He also proposed a strategy.
“Alright, Alice. I have a proposal for you.”
Codi proposes a strategy of his combat cooperation and they immediately execute him.
“Alright, I just need to do that right, Codi?”
“Yes, I leave that to you, Alice.”
Alice runs into the nightmare slime where Codi is right behind her. Alice received a raw collision of each slime tentacle. But this time, Alice did not let every attack she received end in vain. Alice caught and locked with both hands every tentacle that came crashing towards her.
As a result, the movement of the monster was locked.
There, Codi who was behind him immediately used his assassin skill to give critical damage to the monster. The monster was also badly injured.
The monster lost, but Alice fell.
“Alice!” Seeing that, Codi immediately ran over to Alice.
But it seemed that his worry was a futile thing about the expression that the masochistic woman showed was not an expression of sadness or pain, but an expression of peerless pleasure.
“You are yes. Come on up immediately.”
“Hehehehehehehe, thank you, Codi.”
“You're really okay, right?”
“Let's just relax, I'm used to being stung by this kind of thing. Hehehehehehe.”
Codi tried to ignore Alice and did not want to be bothered by her perverted expression. But then, the two of them felt the threat.
About ten Helios appeared before them. Clearly it was not Helios, but rather the same species of nightmare slime monster as before.
***
On the other hand, the combined party of Helios, Nunu, and Albert seemed to be running adem-adem only. They were far away walking, but it seemed not a single monster they had encountered yet.
“This is suspicious, Mr. Helios. Mr. Albert is very suspicious. How did he come right after we got separated from Alice and that pretty guy? What if he's actually a monster disguised as Mr Albert? I've heard that there are monsters that can disguise exactly like humans that even experts can't tell the difference because those monsters can also mimic the flow of mana.”
“Oh, slime nightmare. One of the troll dungeon products was.”
Nunu whispered to Helios while looking at Albert. It was impossible that Albert could not realize that he was the object of conversation of the red-eyed girl.
“Is there something wrong with me, Nunu?”
“Ugh.”
Nunu, feeling guilty for what he said, hid behind Helios' back.
“Hahahahahahaha. Nunu is just a little suspicious of you, Albert. You suddenly came to find us when we were separated from Alice.”
“Surgery? About what, Master?”
“Soal you who might actually be a nightmare slime monster.”
Helios said that while bringing his face closer to less than two centimeters right in front of Albert's face.
Albert immediately took his eyes off his master.
“Hehehehehe. That's where it might be, Master.” Albert said in a cold sweat.
“True yes too, it's impossible. How can I not distinguish my own best bodyguard.”
Usually Albert would feel moved every Helios said that. But for now, cold sweat was pouring out instead and he started to appear limp.
“Swush.”
Unexpectedly a monster resembling a praying mantis almost severed Albert's neck. However, Helios swiftly averted Albert from the danger.
“Hei, Albert! Be aware! Why can you get caught off guard in the middle of the battlefield?!”
For a moment, Albert lost control of his mana and immediately lured hundreds of praying mantis monsters around his party. It wasn't a normal mistake for a disciplined Albert.
