You Don’t Need to Be the Sacrifice

(Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)

A little before Meltera arrived at the side of Saintess Shia. The knights who were struggling against the Demons noticed a boy with a slime on his head and called out.

“H-Hey! There’s a child over there!?” (Knight)

“Still hasn’t run away…!?” (Knight)

“No, wait…” (Knight)

At first, they thought he might be a child left behind during the evacuation, but then they shook their heads, sensing something was off.

“Isn’t he too fast?” (Knight)

The reason was that he was running towards them at an unbelievable speed. By the time they noticed, the boy had already leapt over their heads.

“Huh?” (Knights)

Yes, he had jumped over them. The distance was easily 50 meters or more. Many knights, stunned, looked up at the sky with their mouths agape despite being in the middle of battle.

Meanwhile, the boy responsible, Leon, said it.

“Sura, can I leave this to you? I’m heading north from here.” (Leon)

“Leave it to me, nano.” (Sura)

He tossed Sura, who was waving her tentacles, onto the ground and then headed toward the northern part of the barrier. The knights who watched the boy leave turned their attention to the slime that had fallen from the sky.

“A slime!?” (Knight)

“No, that’s not just any slime! That’s a Red Slime!” (Knight)

The knights were confused, wondering if it was friend or foe. However, at the next moment…

“Ei- nano!” (Sura)

Sura tackled a nearby Demon.

*Boom!*

The Demon was blown away spectacularly by the small slime’s strike.

“Wha…?” (Knights)

“Next, nano!” (Suura)

Sura easily knocked another Demon away. The knights were amazed by the overwhelming strength.

“Is it an ally?” (Knight)

“Could it be that boy’s familiar…?” (Knight)

“In any case, the Demons are in turmoil! Let’s use this chance to regain the upper hand!” (Knight)

“Alright!” (Knights)

The knights, empowered by this strong support, rallied and regained momentum. Sura also struggled fiercely with her small body. If things continued like this, they might be able to push back the enemy’s fierce assault. Just as the knights began to hold onto hope, suddenly a gigantic shadow fell from the sky.

*Zudon!*

“!?!” (Knights)

It landed with a tremendous vibration. The shaking ground and the swirling wind pressure caused many knights to roll on the ground.

“What is that thing…?” (Knight)

“Big… really big…” (Knight)

It was a Demonic figure of an elephant with a long trunk and fangs. However, it walked on two legs and had arms with sharp claws like a bear. Its height easily exceeded four meters, and it likely weighed several tons. It was probably a higher-ranking Demon. Its massive body was imbued with overwhelming mana.

“Paoooooon!” (Demon)

“~~~!?” (Knights)

The Demon roared as if to boast of its power.

“We can’t… win…” (Knight)

“There’s no way to defeat such a monster…” (Knight)

The knights lost their fighting spirit in an instant. They trembled all over and were barely able to stand.

“Don’t falter! Only we can protect the royal capital!” (Knight Captain)

The knight captain in charge shouted desperately. However, even his voice was trembling clearly.

“Big one, nano.” (Sura)

Among them, a slime approached the Demon rather casually.

“Danger!” (Knight)

“Even you…” (Knight)

“Run! You don’t need to be the sacrifice!” (Knight)

From the knights’ point of view, this slime was unfamiliar. But maybe a sense of camaraderie had grown from fighting alongside it temporarily. The size difference between the tiny slime and the Demon was obvious. Everyone expected the slime to be crushed and killed instantly.

“Don’t worry, nano. Sura can grow big, nano.” (Sura)

At the next moment, the knights witnessed an unbelievable sight.

“What…?” (Knight)

“Getting… huge…” (Knight)

The small slime suddenly began to grow enormous. Yes. It was no longer just a slime or a Red Slime. It was a Queen Slime. The slime, Sura, now transformed into a giant body rivaling the giant Demon, was regarded as the greatest threat.

The Demon charged at Suura with a rumbling roar.

“Buyoong!” (Demon)

“~~~!?” (Knights)

The Demon’s charge, which could easily crush even large trees, was stopped by Suura’s highly elastic body and was bounced back.

“Next, it’s my turn, nano.” (Suura)

Stumbling, the Demon heard that and Sura extended her tentacles.

*Bashiiin!*

Sura’s tentacles became giant whips that struck the Demon fiercely. Of course, she didn’t use just one tentacle. Using many tentacles, Suura repeatedly battered the Demon.

“Paoooooon!” (Demon)

The Demon screamed in pain. It retaliated with magic. Despite being beaten with the tentacle whips, it unleashed a powerful magical attack. It was an intense freezing blizzard.

Suura’s body was frozen by the direct hit.

“Eh?” (Suura)

Her tentacles also froze and became immobile. The Demon’s idea was to freeze Suura’s body to take away her elasticity and destroy her. In fact, the next Demon charge shattered Suura’s body. Her fragments were crushed and ground underfoot.

“Paooooon!” (Demon)

The Demon shouted a victorious roar. The knights lost their only hope and understood defeat. At that moment, an anomaly occurred.

“!? ~~~~!? ~~~~~~~~~~!” (Demon)

The giant Demon suddenly began to writhe in agony.
