Reincarnation Sim Game

Chapter 17 17 – The Jelly Spheres



“Perhaps the city is surrounded by a magic wall that prevents monsters from entering, but humans can pass through?” Raymund spoke more to himself than to Elise. A giant wall or something like that was nowhere to be seen on the city’s outskirts. However, the residents look relaxed.

The longer Renee and Elise walked, the houses became fewer. And a few minutes later, they arrived at a vast meadow.

Elise couldn’t help but stare at the sight of several light blue and pink creatures jumping around in the field. They are oval, about twice the size of an adult’s head, have a glossy surface, two protruding black eyes, no arms or legs, and a jelly-like consistency.

“Our job is to collect ten Jelly Sphere’s cores,” Renee explained to her partner while holding the quest paper. “I know this will be boring, but you and I are still beginners, so we’d better start with the easy quests first.”

Raymund yawned. After seeing an exciting fighting scene yesterday, now his protagonist is doing a common mission for beginners in any RPG. Even just hearing about that mission, the god was bored.

Elise saw the other adventurers in the distance. One of them slashed a Jelly Sphere, and then his partner shot an arrow at the monster. The monster then exploded by scattering thick liquids, dropping a shiny white ball the size of a fist.

“Okay…” Elise gripped her sword tightly, not fully able to move on from the fight against the goblins at that time. However, she tried to convince her heart that the monsters were not as scary as the green monsters. “Let’s do this.”.

“You’ve seen those kids do it, haven’t you?” Renee smiled. “We’ll do something similar. I’ll use my magic after you slash at those monsters. This mission is very useful for practicing the synchrony of our attacks. You’ll see about that later.”

After taking a breath, Elise ran over and slashed through one of the Jelly Spheres, causing a gaping wound that oozed thick liquid on the monster.

And after that, nothing else happened. Elise turned to Renee, who was already pointing her magic staff forward. The muscles on the mage’s face tightened. She is like someone who has trouble pooping on the toilet. Her magic staff emitted only a faint orange glow and smoke.

“Fireball… Please, come out….” Renee hissed in a muffled voice. Unfortunately, nothing meaningful has happened yet.

The wound in the Jelly Sphere suddenly closed, and the monster was able to go up and down again.

“I’m sorry, Elise.” The mage sighed. “I promise, after this, I can cast my magic.”

However, even after Elise slashes more monsters, Renee still can’t cast her magic. The mage looked even more frustrated because of that.

“If Renee still can’t do her magic and the time is too long, just slash the monsters a second time.” Raymund was impatient. “Shit. With her martial skills, this should be easy.”

At the umpteenth monster, Elise turned her head to Renee, who still couldn’t make the magic attacks. “I’m sorry.”

And Elise slashed the monster a second time before it could heal itself. The monster exploded and spouted thick liquids. A few drops of it hit Elise’s clothes.

Renee opened her mouth slightly, lowered her head, adjusted her hat, then flashed a smile again. “Well, it’s going to be too long if you keep waiting for me, anyway. Not all Jelly Spheres have cores.”

Indeed, the monster that Elise just killed didn’t drop the white ball.

The two of them continued the mission. Renee still couldn’t do her job as a mage, which continued to force Elise to make the second slashes. Every time Elise did that, the corners of Renee’s lips dropped even more, but she immediately smiled when Elise looked at her.

It’s getting late. The two women had collected nine cores, and all of them were stored in the magic bag on Renee’s waist. The bag is small but can store huge items or in large quantities without changing its size.

Renee was no longer focused and kept losing her spirits. Her staff wasn’t emitting light anymore.

Elise swung her sword at one of the monsters again, and Renee gasped.

Unlike the previous one, the last Jelly Sphere is purple and has a pair of small horns.

“Hey, what are you doing, Elise!?” Renee panicked. “Kill the monster immediately! Don’t wait for me to use magic!”

“Eh?” Elise was confused.

The monster suddenly shook violently, and its wounds healed.

“Attack again!” Renee was getting hysterical. “That’s their boss.”

Elise swung her sword, but the monster could dodge quickly, unlike the others before. No matter how much Elise slashed, she couldn’t hit that purple jelly sphere.

“Oh, no…” Renee looked around. The monsters were already moving closer to her and Elise. The mage then shouted. “Is there anyone who can help us!?”

It’s useless. There’s no one else in the field. Their location is also quite far from settlements.

The two of them backed away until their backs touched each other. Elise couldn’t see a way out because more and more monsters were coming.

“Great! Finally, something interesting. I feel like I’m about to die of boredom.” Raymund’s voice showed no sympathy for the women’s condition. “Hey, Elise! Don’t just stand still like that! Ask Renee to use her martial arts!”

“Renee, m-maybe now’s a good time to use the moves you showed yesterday… I mean, when you paralyzed those thugs…. When you stepped on their genitals….” Out of nervousness, Elise let out convoluted words.

“No,” Renee replied with trembling lips. She is pointing the magic staff again to the front. “I will become a useful mage!”

“Well, you’ll have to fend for yourself, Elise.” Raymund sighed.

Elise bit her lip. Her hands were numb from holding the sword hilt too tightly. Yes, it seemed like she couldn’t help but force herself to fight again.

Some of the monsters jumped forward at a speed they had never shown before.
