The Frontier Alchemist ~ I Can't Go Back to That Job After You Made My Budget Zero

They may not be accustomed to operating their lower bodies, which have become slime molds. Riharzam staggers along the path, swaying his upper body back and forth, from side to side. His survival instincts were telling him to move as far away as possible from the place where he had been attacked with murderous intent.

It was at that moment that Riharzam suddenly heard a voice he had never heard before, echoing only in his brain.

>

"Who is this? Riharzam speaks to a voice that echoes in his head, "What are you doing?

The Voice continues to chatter, as if it does not hear Riharzam's words.

>

"So, kill? What is that?

<>.

Riharzam's human eyes widen in surprise.

Suddenly, countless bullets of magical elements are shot into Riharzam's mushroom body.

Riharzam's body tilts slightly from the slight impact, but the magic elements are absorbed by his body, and his mushroom body is undamaged.

"Stop shooting the magic gun! Hmmm...as reported. They are demons, after all. If the magic bullets don't work, then it must be. Oh dear... I thought we were shorthanded and sent out... but I think we've just pulled a big one."

The source of the shooting was a group of soldiers. The voice of one of them, a pale-faced man, reaches Rehalzam.

"Shall we charge? Captain Harold."

I'm the acting captain. And we have information that those spores are poisonous. I've prepared as many attribute-changing magic circuits as I have left. Please fire a volley after you've attached them," said Harold.

"Yes, sir."

At this conversation, Riharzam, perhaps sensing a danger to himself, started to move again, desperately trying to get away. However, his movements are as awkward as ever.

Then, a magic gun bullet, whose attribute is changed to flame, strikes him. But there are only a few of them.

It seems that some of the magic guns have burst their magic circuits. Among the soldiers, some of them have burnt eyebrows.

Still, some of the flames landed on Riharzam's body, scorching it.

"Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no..."

Mushroom bodies seem to burn well.

Charred mushrooms fall to the ground.

Meanwhile, the Voice continues to speak.

Then again, a bullet of flame is shot into the mushroom body of Rehalzam. This time, however, the flames burst on the surface of the body and are extinguished.

"Oh, what? Riharzam looks down at his own body with a curious look on his face.

The soldiers are in an uproar. This must be unexpected. The attackers stop.

The "voice" continues without regard.

Rehalzam desperately tries to escape now is his chance.

"Captain Harold! shouts someone who looks like a subordinate.

"I see you! It's no use. Everybody out! We charge!"

The soldiers ready their swords and prepare to charge.

Riharzam desperately moves the slime from his lower body.

Rehalzam suddenly becomes more mobile.

The soldiers' blades close in.

Suddenly, Rehalzam's mushroom body is absorbed into the lower half of his body.

Riharzam's entire body has turned into a slime mold. He avoids the oncoming blades with his slime mold state. A sewer gutter appears in front of Riharzam's eyes.

Without hesitation, Riharzam, transformed into a slime mold, dives into the sewer and runs away.
