Carlson and his group stayed silent with sweat trickling down their back when they thought about Zen's threat.
"Hmph, act arrogant when you have something to back it up otherwise I can make sure you all learn the meaning of offending someone you cannot afford to." Zen scoffed as he returned his focus to Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon.
"You didn't have to be that harsh when we're all in the same situation now," Krista Dragoon said softly.
However, Zen quickly shook his head in reply and held her by the waist. It wasn't that he wanted to be arrogant and show off his ability but that he wanted to let them know who is the boss.
If he were to stay silent despite the provocation from Carlson then the situation will continue to escalate where their group believes they can order them around.
"They need to understand that if there are incoming enemies, we are not going to standby and listen to their idiotic commands," Zen said toward Krista Dragoon as he walked to the side before secretly asking Romu and the rest of the worker slime to explore the area.
Currently, Zen has no idea whether they're on the 10th floor or not since they were teleported here and no maps were available for them.
Time slowly passed with Carlson stopped his vomiting but held a fearful expression whenever he looked in the direction of Zen as his group stayed silent.
"Carlson, are we really going to let him bully us like that?" A person in the group could no longer stay silent as he vented his frustration.
"James is right. We are the strongest youth in our generation and our families have a ton of influence in the imperial family as well." Another person quickly agreed with James' words as he couldn't accept the humiliation from Zen.
Meanwhile, Carlson's face turned dark as he said, "If you believe that we should not cower in fear and rebel against him then go ahead but count me out."
The group was in disbelief when they heard Carlson admitting defeat and not willing to fight against Zen.
"Carlson, we know you're strong and he only got you because he sneaked and attacked you." James hurriedly intervened and said, in hopes that Carlson would change his mind.
Carlson glanced at James briefly before sneering inwardly, 'Hmph, you want me to be the scapegoat again. When he launched an attack on me, none of you have the confidence to step in and help me out yet you want to rebel against him now.'
Carlson may be the leader of this group but he wasn't dumb enough to fall for their baits and hidden intention to use him to test Zen's prowess and whether or not they're capable of defeating him.
"You're right, if Zen didn't sneak up on me then I would have definitely won. So, James, you would start attacking Zen so I can sneak up on him and after that, we can enjoy the two princesses ourselves," Carlson said after thinking for a moment.
James' expression didn't change at all but he cursed Carlson inwardly. 'Fucking cunt that wants me to take the hit first. Dream on.'
"Haha, I'm just a lowly mage and I won't even be able to stall for a few seconds before getting rekt. I think it is still best if Carlson attacks first and the rest of us follow," James said with a smile and the rest of the group nodded their heads in unison.
"Wow, such a detailed and working plan to get rid of Zen and enjoy the two princesses yourself. Why don't you count me in as well?" A voice interrupted their conversation, shocking the group since they made sure to cast a barrier around them to prevent their conversation from exposing.
Carlson, James, and the rest turned their heads around to see who uttered that voice, and soon, their face pale.
"Z-Zen…" James exclaimed in horror.
"Correct, you got my name correct and the reward is… death," Zen clasped his hand together, and instantly, Romu and the rest of the worker slimes surrounded the group.
"W-Wait, it's a misunderstanding," James hurriedly said but when he noticed it was just a group of slimes, his expression changed and he started laughing.
"Haha, I thought you had a powerful army but it's just mere slimes that you have to defeat us." James chuckled softly as he held his wand and the rest also grabbed their wands in joy.
Meanwhile, Carlson wasn't an idiot to join them as he hurriedly surrendered himself and stood on the sideline.
'If even Daemon Kaiso was frightful of Zen and wasn't willing to make a move despite capturing his son then Zen is definitely not a simple man. I'll be a fool to believe that his slime was original.' Carlson said inwardly as he sat on the ground without any intention of fighting.
James scoffed at the cowardly action of Carlson and said, "Hmph, a leader like you who only cower in fear is not fit to be a leader. Everyone followed me and attacked him. Once we're done, we can enjoy the two princesses."
"YES, LEADER!"
The group said in unison, rendering Zen speechless.
Zen couldn't help but wonder in his mind how they managed to pass the rest of the floor before coming here.
'Their mindset is so stupid that I can't even comprehend. At least Carlson was smart enough to back off and stay on the sideline.' Zen sighs inwardly as he turns his back toward the group.
Krista Dragoon and Leila Dragoon also didn't bother as they strolled around the floor. They have full confidence in Zen that these nobodies pose no challenge to him.
They weren't wrong as the instant Zen turned around, Romu and the rest of the worker slimes fired their acid shot, causing James and the rest to put up a barrier to block the corrosive.
However, they soon know it was a futile effort as they see the barrier is slowly melting away and James widens his eyes in fear when he realizes something.
'These aren't regular slimes!' James exclaimed inwardly as he messed up.
