A Blade Made of Slime

Chapter 4: A Little Girl Named Fran

Somebody....

Help...

It's been a couple days since I've gotten trapped.

I tried for a while to use Telepathy to send out sound waves. I've been hoping for a while that someone might end up noticing me but it doesn't seem like anyone could... or would...

Part of me was wondering if the forest ended up drowning my Telepathy... although it was strange it was one of the few Skills that ended up working...

This is going to kill me...

Is this how Veldora felt?

It has to be right...?

Soon enough...

Another couple days have gone by with me being trapped in this damn forest. I don't even have Great Sage to keep me company...

I wasn't sure what exactly to do...

I had quite a load of EP I thought maybe I could use it on a Skill to free me but...

Great Sage would've definitely done something. Besides, there's nothing stopping Telekinesis from simply failing again and dropping me back into the forest...

...

This is truly boring...

Great Sage warned me about the forest and I didn't take her warning too seriously.

I had enough magicules I thought...

I ended up forgetting that this world revolved around mana.

I thought I could get through it...

Turns out the more I grew, the more impossible it became to escape the forest...

Maybe if I had wings, I would be able to just fly my way out of this damn hole and escape... at least with them I didn't have to worry about some damn mana cost...

Why'd I have to be a sword...

...

Someone...

Help...

...

...

I can hear distant screaming?

I could barely make out screams in the distance... they were running from something?

"Go faster you idiot!"

"Like we could go faster with wet ass roads like this?!"

"JUST GO! ELSE WE'LL-"

*Crash*

The caravan crashed not too far away from me. I could see countless people scrabbling out of it but there was one distinct feature that most of them had...

Those were collars right?

I believe I heard reports about Slavery being a major problem since it took Elves out of the Great Forest of Jura. There was Masayuki who dealt with them before but I'm not too sure about the details since the stories always seemed so exaggerated from what his friends were a little... too hyped up about him. Still, Slavery was dealt with in the Cardinal World. This sort of confirmed that I truly was in an entirely different world judging by how there was a literal caravan full of slaves of varying races.

I watched a massive creature begin rushing in as the screams grew louder and louder. This was becoming unbearable to watch but I physically couldn't look away.

I tried desperately to activate Summon False Body SP but it just didn't want to function...

More were dying by the moment...
