Uninhabited Island Level 9999: Creating the Strongest Island Nation with Uninhabited Island Developm

Chapter 52 – A Boss Monster Appears!!

Before returning home, I headed to the forest to gather materials.

With Gale Tulle, I knocked down trees, collected soil, and obtained a bountiful harvest.

Wood x377 → Wood x523

Soil x27 → Soil x147

“Alright, this should be enough. The sun is about to set, so let’s go home.”

I gave instructions to everyone and turned on my heel.

We returned to the route we had passed earlier and walked again on that sand dune. As evening approached, the red soil spread, mingling with a crimson hue. There was also that Rose Slime again.

It’s the type that doesn’t attack, so it’s safe.

Just as I thought we would be able to go home easily――

“Rasty-sama, look out!!”

My body was pushed with a thud, and I crashed onto the sandy ground… What’s Alfred doing all of a sudden? Wait, why is the sky suddenly turning pitch black? No, that’s not it, this is…!

“Uwa! It’s a huge slime!”

“That’s the boss monster, ‘Burning Slime’! Why is it here of all places?”

Darn it… I gave Alfred the wooden box I got from Strelka earlier, so he can’t fight with that!!

It’s up to me to fight.

I held Gale Tulle and stood before the squishy red slime. However, to my horror, the situation was different from when I faced the wild boar.

“Big brother! That Burning Slime is surrounded by Rose Slimes. Moreover, their number… thirty-three!! It’s dangerous!”

So, these are its “followers.”

Certainly, there were about thirty Rose Slimes wriggling about that huge red slime. They are like servants to the king.

In other words, the boss monster has everything under control. How troublesome.

“Understood, Havamar. If you don’t mind, please lend me that spear!”

“The Holy Spear Gungnir? It’s impossible!”

“Why!?”

“Because it requires immense magical power, it takes time to recharge. After one use, it takes three days before it can be used again.”

What the heckkkk～～～?!

I thought that with that highly powerful spear, I could defeat it in one hit, but it has such a restriction. In that case, I have no choice but to confront it with Gale Tulle.

Alright, it’s now or never.

“Take thiiiiis!!!”

When I tried to close the distance and swing down Gale Tulle, the surrounding Rose Slimes obstructed me. Though they were small fry, their numbers were numerous.

――Darn it!!

That Burning Slime’s attack is coming towards me.

“Dodge it, Big brother! The enemy’s attack is a fire attribute attack called ‘Fireball.’ If you get hit, you will suffer great damage!”

So, it’s going to use a magic attack.

It lives up to its name.

But the fireball was already approaching. It’s huge… It’s like the size of the sun, blindingly bright. I’ll die if it hits me!! I tried to change my stance to defend myself somehow, but I won’t make it in time!

“Darn iiiiiit…”

“Rasty-samaaaa..!!”

Alfred quickly steps in, wielding a “Katana”, as if shielding me. It seems he entrusted the wooden box to Havamar. Nice decision!

“Alfred!!”

“Leave it to me, Rasty-sama!”

Oh, how reliable… Huh?!

However, the firepower of the enemy’s fireball was too strong, and the “Katana” made a “snap” sound as it broke in two.

“What…?”

“Aaaaaaaaaah, the katana… It’s completely broken from ‘Weapon Destruction’! Uaaaaaaaahhhh!!”

Alfred took the fireball head-on with his own body. …This can’t be true, that strongest butler…!!

“Alfred, no…”

He was sent flying far away, buried in the sand, and his condition is unknown. Darn it, if things continue like this… As I lowered my gaze to the ground, there, instead of the broken katana, I saw another weapon that Alfred had dropped—the “Lightning Rapier.”

He must have let go of it during the impact earlier.

…This is it.

“Skor!! I’m sure Alfred is still alive. Find him and give him Heal!”

“Y-Yes, leave it to me!”

Please heal my precious butler. In the meantime, I’ll defeat that Burning Slime…!

Originally, it was Johannes’s dropped weapon, but Alfred is the current owner. Let me borrow it, Alfred.

“…Big brother. Is, is that the ‘Lightning Rapier’?”

“Yes, Havamar. Right now, it’s our only option.”

“It has better attack power than Gale Tulle and more than enough magic power! Big brother, please defeat that monster!”

I’m using a weapon other than the pickaxe for the first time. No, there was also the golden spear and the ladder. But those aren’t weapons. The former is a mass of magic power, and the latter is just a weaponized tool. This time it’s different. It’s a legitimate weapon. A treasure sword.

Lightning Rapier, lend me your power!!
