　They may not be accustomed to operating their lower bodies, which have become slime molds. Riharzam staggers along the path, swaying his upper body back and forth, from side to side.

"Stop shooting the magic gun! Hmmm...as reported. They are demons, after all. If the magic bullets don't work, then it must be. Oh dear... I thought we were shorthanded and sent out... but I think we've just pulled a big one."

I'm the acting captain. And we have information that those spores are poisonous. I've prepared as many attribute-changing magic circuits as I have left. Please fire a volley after you've attached them," said Harold.

　Still, some of the flames landed on Riharzam's body, scorching it.

"Oh, what? Riharzam looks down at his own body with a curious look on his face.

　Riharzam's entire body has turned into a slime mold. He avoids the oncoming blades with his slime mold state. A sewer gutter appears in front of Riharzam's eyes.
