Re: The Idealist and The Tyrant (Aiden)
"Human tools are often used to combat slimes. Such as fire against slimes. Even knights of the Order would throw bottles of flammable oil at slimes to fight them, though from what I saw, it was three men trying to scare off a single slime. The slime only ran away in fear of the fire, so I doubt it's very effective against actually holding you ground on your own, or even against more than one... Though in all honesty, if you are facing more then one mamono, you're at a severe disadvantage anyway. In other words, don't do it." she advised him. "Even great military leaders, veterans in combat, and educators to greenhorns have been defeated by simple orcs when outnumbered three to one, and those guys could put up a fight. But they failed to acknowledge one simple rule, and that's to not get cocky. As a human being, you have one advantage over most mamono. You can adapt and fight intelligently. A mamono will always try to play on her strengths, but if you can overcome their strength, you will win. When it comes to a slime, there's just no fighting it unless you're a magician of some kind. So... What's it's weakness? Well, the average slime is quite dimwitted, so outsmarting it will be easy. Lead one into a trap, or if one blocks your path, retreat and move around it. Always, always remember... That surviving an encounter with a mamono is always a victory. You should avoid them if you can."
"Well." she leaned up. "There's so much to fighting that I just can't explain on my own, but hopefully you learned something by fighting me. You held good defensive ground among the trees, and attacking from above, I'm ashamed to admit... Is my weakpoint. If you ever face someone like me, try to attack from above, and out of reach, granted that fighting is required."
