Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken (WN) - Chapter 287

Chapter 287

“Don’t let your guard down, Julius!”


“–Karma, huh . Thank you . ”

“Don’t mention it!”

Karma had moved in and blocked a monster who had rushed towards Julius in order to attack .

After that, Karma, who had transformed into a red werewolf, stood next to Julius and continued to fight . His power was as great as the adults, and he was just as strong as Julius .

Karma was acting on Magnus’ order, as he had said that everything would be over should their commander fall .

Karma obeyed without question, and Julius also seemed to have discarded his usual composed attitude, and readily accepted Karma’s help .

While Julius may have said various things in the past, he did in fact, accept that Karma had a true ability .

The students were crossing the borders of their schools and working together .

It was all very good up until this point .

This point…

◇◇◇

What I first thought was strange, was Magnus’ movements .

He had sent Karma over to help Julius, while he relocated to where the monsters were relatively weaker .

With Magnus’ ability, it would be more appropriate for him to stay in an area where the attacks were more vicious .

As I was curious, I used ‘Magic Detection’ to get an overhead view and observe Magnus’ actions .

Then I saw that Rozari, the girl who seemed praise Magnus a whole lot, had left the frontlines . She was running towards the group of spare forces .

Spare forces–the people who had finished being treated for their injuries or put on their summoning items . Or so I had thought, but on further inspection, it seemed like that was not the case .

They were not treating the wounded there, instead, the wounded were being roughly carried to a different tent .

As for the group…

When I looked closely, I saw that they had finished putting on matching white robes .

There was Clad, who was one of the knights that guarded Julius, and even the combat teacher from Ingracia, who had not joined the fight at all .

Could it be that they are… Just as I thought this, things started to move at once .

First, the teachers who were fighting the poison tiger were poisoned and fell .

There was Master Brown and Master Peter from the Tempest Human Development Resource Academy .

Master William and Master Blum from the Ingracia Academy .

And to combat teachers whose names I did not know from NNU Magic and Science Investigation Academy .

The six of them had been holding the poison tiger back, but now it was free .

The teachers weren’t dead .

They weren’t dead, because Moss was protecting them . However, they might as well have been, as they were unconscious .

And so the poison tiger was now ignoring them and was now attacking the wall of students led by Julius .

“Julius, this is bad!”

“Tsk! If only there was a Hero…”

“Lord Julius!?”

Karma .

Even Maria and Carole, who always followed Julius .

They were all looking at Julius with expressions of anger and despair .

As for Julius…

“I…I won’t give up . Masayuki would have…”

Hmmm… I wonder about that?

If anything, he would probably just run away . Yes, there was a good chance of that .

He would ask Venom to stop the monster and in the meantime…

And then that person, who could now be called Masayuki’s director, would lecture him and bring him back .

However, the timing would also be perfect, as it would be right before Venom was about to be defeated .

Spectators of the scene could not be blamed for seeing this as a Hero coming to save the day in the nick of time .

It wouldn’t seem too lucky for Venom, but that was their problem .

I don’t care about Masayuki, anyway .

Right now, the students were important .

Julius gripped his sword with strong determination, and without showing a hint of fear, he stood in front of the poison tiger .

“I’ll be joining you, Julius!”

“Sorry about everything, Karma . As someone who is in a position of power, I have…”

“Don’t mention it . I understand . But we can be friends from now on, right?”

“…Yes . Let’s make it out of this alive!!”

Julius and Karma, and the other students as well .

They were in a hopeless situation, but they did not give up .

I wanted to give them all a passing grade .

I liked their spirit .

As for Julius, it would be necessary to guide him a little in terms of the way he thought, but I felt that he had at least the bare minimum of what a leader needed .

He wouldn’t win this round, but I thought that I would help a little after he was defeated by the poison tiger .

That was what I thought, as I observed them fighting .

As I knew from the beginning that they would not be able to beat the poison tiger, I had planned for Moss to beat it back once everyone had been defeated .

The only thing left was to see what these suspicious-looking people in the white robes would do . Also, Magnus’ movements…

But they did not look like they intended to join the fight until all of the students and teachers had fallen .

What horrible people . I thought with anger as I viewed them .

And once they saw that the last of the combat students had fallen, they began their move .

Two of the figures in white robes moved out and began to dispose of the monsters at a much faster pace than the teachers had been managing .

And then another stepped out in front of us survivors and activated a magic barrier .

The survivors were overwhelmed with shock and confusion .

“Don’t worry . I will protect all of you . ”

Said Magnus .

As if to prove this claim, he went off alone to face the poison tiger .

Translations by AsianHobbyist Website .
Stupidity? No, it wasn’t .

Magnus’ movements were full of confidence, and it seemed that he understood that his victory was a certain thing .

And of course, he was right .

He began to fight with the poison tiger with a power that exceeded that of an A-ranker .

And so he was successful in driving it away .

“Tsk . It escaped . Ah, well . At least I accomplished what I wanted . ”

Magnus said this as if it was nothing .

In fact, it seemed like Magnus had yet to show his full potential . And the poison tiger was not much of a problem in his eyes .

At this point, it was all but proven, that it had been Magnus and the others who had tricked Julius .

As Clad was Julius’ guard, he would have had plenty of opportunities to mix the herbs in his food .

And more than anything…

“Now, all of you . There are two options for you now . ”

Out of nowhere, a single woman came out and made this declaration .

Her words were directed at us, the non-combat students .

It seemed as if she had been waiting for this moment when all of the fighters had been defeated .
