PHASTAN

-Welcome, please take a look.
-Please...

ADVENTURERS' GUILD

I really saw it!

A slime that breathes fire.

A slime that breathes fire?

The monster in front of me
was surrounded in flames.

It was just like a spell.

Gale, you must have been dreaming.

Slimes can't use such a powerful spell.

You were still groggy and
forgot to extinguish the campfire, right?

That's right. A monster coincidentally
touched the remaining flames.

I'm sure that was what happened.

Whatever.

Mr. Yuji, did you fail the quest?

It's okay. Don't mind it.

I didn't fail.

Some stuff happened,
but I managed to bring it here early.

So many? Are they real?

I'll report it to the branch manager.

What?

So many Drya Flowers.

Judging by his looks, is he a Tamer?

Yuji, it's you again?

Aegis.

This is two years' worth, right?

You are not just any tamer.

I don't like causing a commotion.

Is it too many?

No, we will still buy them all.

Although we don't have
that many requests for medicine.

Is that so?

I fought an unexpectedly tough monster
in the forest just now.

Branch Manager! It's terrible!

What's wrong?

Smoke signals have appeared in the forest.

Did you hear that?

We heard it.

Are there any monsters nearby?

Reports are saying
that monsters have appeared in the forest.

There are many.
They are heading to a certain place.

Do you know where?

What do you think, everyone?

I don't know.

They are heading towards the sun.

It's the opposite direction over here.

Should we give chase?

I think they are gathering in one spot.

Isn't that bad?

That's impossible.
Where are all the 10,000 monsters going?

Judging from their position...

They are heading to the city
where Yuji is at.

Inform all adventurers.

More than 10,000 monsters
are heading towards Phastan right now.

They will probably arrive
in about ten minutes.

I hope all of you can leave this city
as soon as possible.

Are you joking?

What about the people in the city?

Do you want just us adventurers
to survive?

There are more than
10,000 monsters out there.

The citizens will never make it out alive.

No way!

We will protect this city!

Protecting the city?

I want to protect it as well
if there's a method.

But there are too many of them.

Getting as many people out alive

is the best method right now.

Is that the only thing we can do?

I have an idea.

Mr. Yuji?

Don't force yourself.

You're a Tamer, right?

What?

He took out a bone from the slime.

It's a dragon's bone.

Dragon?

Tamers have some tricks
up their sleeves too.

Although I can only use it once,

I can use this bone
to recreate the dragon's fire.

Then, we'll be able to
wipe out all the monsters.

Seriously?

That's actually possible?

Yuji, you're definitely
not an ordinary Tamer.

However,

I've never heard of
recreating a dragon's fire before.

That slime...

Let's believe in him.

Aegis. There's no other way, right?

What can we do?

Here. Medicine made from Drya Flower.

I didn't expect them
to come in handy immediately.

Hurry up!
The first monsters will arrive soon.

Let's stop them outside the gates!

Bring all your weapons!

Proud Wolf, how's the situation?

I'm doing my best
to retrieve all the slimes!

Go back quickly.

Seems like you're taking a detour.

Because it's scary when the battle begins.

Yuji, thank you!

I can feel the power coming out!

How wonderful!

Yuji, we want it too!

All of you just need to sit on its back.

So mean!

Let's go!

Did we do it?

No.

The battle is just beginning.

Everyone, it'll be done in 15 minutes.

"Spell Creation."

TAMER SKILLS

SAGE SKILLS

REINFORCEMENT SPELLS

EARTH SPELLS

Not bad.

A spell that can protect the city
and deal huge area of effect damage.

Yuji, there's an emergency!

From Dryad?

Yuji, a weird person
is wandering around this place.

That's the guy.

He is acting suspiciously.

SENSE SHARE

Is it a magic stone?

He must be the one
who caused all the monsters to show up.

Does he have companions nearby?

I don't think so.

Can you move close to him?

I'll send them there with my power.

Be careful.
You'll die if you touch that stone.

Yuji is going to sacrifice us.

Are you okay with that?

I'll use a Dispel Curse spell after
surrounding the stone with Spell Barrier.

There won't be a problem.

Really?

Yes.

Wait!

That was a long pause.

Now, go on.

Hey!

Go!

Spell Transfer! Magical Net!

Spell Transfer! Barrier!

Dispel Curse - Extreme!

A spell?

The curse has been lifted.

Slime, send that person over...

-Wait.
-He looks weird.

Salvation for this impure world!

He committed suicide?

Yuji.

I'll be there soon!

So quick!

Let's go!

Look at that.

Don't falter!

-It's never-ending.
-We'll be defeated if this goes on.

Proud Wolf, can you help them?

Me?

Well...

Some of the slimes go to Gale's side.

Got it.

Leave it to me.

No choice, I guess.

Spell Transfer.

Fireball!

Slimes that breathe fire.

Believe in Yuji! Show your strength!

The areas with monsters
are larger than I imagined.

Even if I put a barrier around the city,

they'll still be affected
by Hellfire of Demise.

I got it.

Transfer the spell to the barrier

and release it towards the exterior.

Incredible.

Lily.

Help me tell Aegis

to get Gale and the rest
back into the city.

Yes.

All slimes in the forest.
Return to the city.

Space out and surround the city.

Yes.

Dryad, hide underground.

Let's go.

Yes!

Come. Let's go in together.

We'll be safe here.

Everyone, retreat!

Go back into the city!

Slimes, are you ready?

I'm ready!

Anytime.

Yuji, it's bad!

Get them out of the city!

Come back! There's no time!

Just leave us!

Just do it, Yuji!

Slimes, can you do it?

Good job, Proud Wolf.

Spell-Transferring Barrier!

A barrier that covers the whole city?

Incinerate all!

Hellfire of Demise!

Is this the power of a tamer?

A dragon's bone can create
such a huge flame?

I've never seen such a big spell.

Is he really the one who did that?

Of course, there's no one else
besides him.

An ordinary person would die
if they tried to use this spell.

Yuji, there are still monsters alive.

Mr. Yuji!

Since my MP became negative,

I compensated with my HP.

My body hurts a little,

but I can take it.

Slime. Do it again.

What?

If you use that spell again, you'll...

I'll be fine.

-Slimes.
-Yes!

Leave it to me!

Spell-Transferring Barrier!

Hellfire of Demise!

Mr. Yuji!

Yuji.

Good morning.

Did you sleep well?

Mr. Aegis.

Look at this.

No way.

Withdraw and retreat.

It's delicious.

It's nice to see you unhurt.

Gale and the other citizens
threw a huge party.

As thanks to you
for saving the whole city.

I see.

I'm really grateful to you

for saving this city
that you have nothing to do with.

Mr. Yuji, why did you save this city?

Please rest well for tonight.

Can we submit this on time?

Excuse me. It's a bit cold tonight.

I brought another blanket...

The wind is so comfortable.

I'm feeling hungry.

Why did you leave
without telling everyone?

I wanted to join the feast.

I don't want to cause a commotion.

At that time,
we surrounded that man magnificently.

We used Yuji's spell three times in a row.

and lifted the magic stone's curse
successfully.

Incredible.

The man stopped moving.

His true identity is still a mystery.

"A hero tells his story with his back."

This belonged to the man
who died in the forest.

The stone with the curse lifted
was dropped around that place.

This is...

It's that organization, right?

I've reported it to Central.

Yuji, I can see it.

-Slimes' Isekai Preview!
-Slimes' Isekai Preview!

What is this?

I think we are supposed to do the preview.

What is a preview?

I don't know. Is it meat?

It's meat!

I want to eat a lot of meat!

I want to go to a big city.

Also.

I want to have a nice sleep.

Let's defeat monsters!

Oh, that's right.
There's something that Yuji wants to do.

-Forming a party!
-Forming a party!

I see.

It's so fun!
