kills, and so she took the damage directly.

However, the charge attack remained, and Jelly still had HP left.

Core had made her stock up on expensive HP recovery items.
So she just had to use them now…

 

“Blue Electric Claws – Dual Claws… Cool Shock!”

 

The blue electricity shot into Jelly’s neck…!

Necoco had dug a hole in the ground and entered the jewelry box.

Jelly had seen videos of Necoco doing this, and it had left an impression.
And she knew that the floor was the weakness of Princess Jewelry Box.

 

However, the explosions had clearly occurred while Necoco was above ground.

If Necoco had disappeared, she would have known she was underground, and would be able to unleash a counter attack at the ground.

But the unexpected explosion had thrown her off…!

 

“As a parting gift, it would be nice if you could tell me how you did that…”

“…Claw Missile.”

 

“So you won’t tell me.
Well, we may fight again.”

 

Necoco was speaking the truth.

The explosion was one of the effects of the Claw Missile skill.

 

The name of the effect that she didn’t use was Missile Style.

It was an attack that launched your equipped claws like they were missiles. 

The claws would regrow a few seconds later, but you would not be able to use any other claw related skills in the meantime.

And though it was short, in a way, it put everything in cool down, which made it a difficult skill to use.

 

The other style was Mine Style.

You buried your claws in the ground like mines and then detonated them when you wanted.

As you were able to cut them off one at a time, you could set them in the ground while keeping some.

However, there were no marks for where you buried it, and the explosions were small in scale.

If you set all ten of them close together and detonated them all at once, it would deal similar damage to a charge attack, but it would be quite a feat to accomplish during combat.

 

While it had seemed that Jelly was pushing her, she was actually being made to move in the way that Necoco wanted her to.

In spite of appearances, she had a more reserved personality, and had a habit of backing down when the enemy became aggressive.

And like this, Necoco pretended to be running away as she secretly buried the Claw Missiles and executed her bluff just as Jelly stood on top of them, luring her into using a powerful charge attack.

 

The stronger a defense ability was, the more they tended to restrict your movement.

And since Princess Jewelry Box trapped you into a small box, Jelly was not able to escape from the mines.

 

“Damn it! I hate losing without being able to contribute at all… Even Core had it better! I guess that’s why he is our leader! He’s a real man after all!”

 

Jelly said as she disappeared.

Now there was only one member of Made Slime CORE left.

(You were really strong.
You had an advantage over me.
However, you lacked the experience…! But why did a pro gamer group let someone so inexperienced into their main team? Hmm.
Well, given how they have people like Slime Man, maybe they just take in anyone who looks interesting?)

 

As Necoco tilted her head to the side, she thought of a certain possibility.

 

(No, perhaps Satomi’s brother put her in specifically to beat me…? She had all of my weaknesses down, and had a lot of information… Was it all because he didn’t want to lose to his younger brother…? No, surely not! I’m overthinking it!)

 

As an only child, Necoco couldn’t really imagine what their relationship was like.

And so she pushed it out of her mind and sighed so that she could head to the next battle.

She was the one who had founded the Ghost Guild.

And she felt that she had to work harder because of that.

 

(Hold back and beat a new player… While it makes sense, it’s not very satisfying.
But I will continue…! It’s my responsibility! It doesn’t matter how I win!)

 

Necoco started to run.

For the glory of the ghosts…!

 

“Now! Where is my next opponent?”

 

‘The fight is over!!’

 

“What!?”

 

‘As all of the players of Mad Slime CORE have been annihilated, the winning party is…Ghost Guild! Congratulations on making it to the second round! The surviving players will now be warped to the waiting area!’

 

“The person who defeated the last player was…Anne! In other words, we each killed one player…! It looks like I have a good eye for recruiting after all…!”

 

Necoco felt that a weight had been lifted from her shoulders.

 

(Still, Anne swings around such a heavy weapon, and yet I didn’t hear the sounds of her fighting at all… I wonder how she won?)
