Reincarnated Into A Dead Woman's Body In Another World

"You must stand back!"

"It’s a mimic, I’m not that worried..."

The Scorching Inferno had a massive longsword that gleamed in reds and gold, embedded in a dark metal that was barely visible around the edge. The sword glowed with runes all over as he was in a battle stance against a chest.

Meanwhile, Hotaru stood behind him, sealing her lips shut tight and staring.

"Oh, so you know about this thing," he turned to look at her.

"It’s an amorphous creature, somewhat of a cousin to slimes. They can take most shapes and can shift their colours for camouflage.

But a lot of adventurers handbooks easily teach you how to identify them. For one, they lack a seam where the latch would open it; also, with a right enough angle, you’ll notice that its texture doesn’t look like wood or metal should."

"Yeah, I knew that, I could tell. Didn’t need the walking dungeon guide to tell me," he swung his sword around his entire form. "Watch how its done~" he said with a lowered voice as flames scorched up the sides of his blade.

"PFFF!!!"

A hose of orangish-red fires bore down on the poor chest that squealed and screeched out as it burned from the flames. Smoke and dust rose into the air with the acrid scent of burnt flesh akin to rotten eggs.

Hotaru pinched her nose and snarked, "Thank you so much,"

"No problemo," he clicked his tongue and saluted with his sword.
