219,

Slime's counterattack, unable to defeat four, come with twenty.

Seeing a large number of slimes rushing towards him, Cyclone could only panic and pick up Yuna, turning around and running.

Back at the crossroads from before, Cyclone didn't hesitate and immediately turned right.

And then, turn right, and turn right again.

It's not for any other reason, just to go with the flow.

In his fatigue, Cyclone held onto Yuna like a princess and ran desperately, his energy rapidly declining.

Rarely able to change direction, Cyclone turned towards the heavier side of Yuna's head.

At another crossroads, after turning right, Cyclone saw the army of slimes.

However, they weren't heading towards Cyclone, they were just turning right at the crossroads ahead.

...

Suddenly, Cyclone woke up to the truth and smiled inwardly.

Ha~ this time, I'll turn left~

Little did he know, as soon as he turned around and took a step forward, trouble ensued.

The floor suddenly broke apart, leaving a hole on the ground.

Cyclone and Yuna fell into the hole, below which was a long slope. Cyclone held onto Yuna tightly as they slid down together.

Cyclone was terrified, screaming loudly.

The slope was about twenty meters long and took Cyclone to another space.

Looking up, he discovered a huge room.

A square-shaped enormous room, with many corridors built into each of the walls, some closed, and others collapsed.

Looking around, there were many small pillars broken and fallen down, becoming obstacles only half the height of Cyclone.

And those pillars that hadn't fallen yet still had purple flames lingering on their sides, illuminating the room.

Cyclone landed on a high platform, surrounded by this large space from all sides.

"Not good..."

Seeing something strange, Cyclone crouched down, stuck in a blind spot on the elevated ground.

Normally, hiding like this wouldn't make any sense for Cyclone.

Aside from the noise caused by the broken ground earlier, Cyclone himself carried a special magical power source with Yuna.

Monsters with a little knowledge of magic could easily detect Yuna's presence.

Not to mention the confusion fragrance on him, which even weak-willed males would be attracted to.

Damn, there's too many of them...

Cursing internally, but fortunately, Cyclone's opponents were only slimes.

A group of water attribute monsters with extremely poor vision, no ears, and no ability to sense magic.

They could only rely on their sense of vibration in the air and their worst vision to perceive the environment -- slimes.

Cyclone counted them, a total of more than forty.

On the high platform, Cyclone also observed the environment.

There were several collapsed pillars in the room that could be used as cover, along with originally designed passages that seemed to form a vortex.

And there was only one open corridor, the only way for Cyclone to leave, but it was in the farthest corner.

Beside the high platform, there was a staircase with no slimes below.

"Oh!?"

Cyclone discovered something new, there were some worn-out metal cups on the road below.

Looking back on the day at the Gudas' house, Cyclone once smashed a vase to attract everyone's attention.

Now, by repeating the same trick, he could distract all of the slimes.

Setting Yuna down, Cyclone quickly ran to the bottom and collected the cups.

Back on the elevated platform, Cyclone carefully observed the slimes' movements.

There were only three cups, and Cyclone only had three chances.

Of course, he first threw one to the far corner, and as the cup hit the ground, the entire room echoed with a crisp and loud sound.

But, not a single slime was attracted.

"What!?"

Accidentally shouting out, Cyclone quickly closed his mouth and hid.

But similarly, no slime was drawn to Cyclone.

...

Although lacking knowledge in biology, Cyclone still understood.

The sound could not distract the slimes.
