The tiny slimes Ailetta had released before the battle were considerably different from the ones she normally created.
Ordinarily, even the smallest of her children possessed something resembling an eye and mouth, giving them a certain resemblance to their mother. These slimes had neither. Their bodies were almost entirely featureless, with only a few thin veins of holy energy spreading across their exteriors, giving them a soft, iridescent glow.
Even after the Holy Field expanded and swept past them, there was little about their appearance or behavior that would've warranted any concern. They made no attempt to attack the humans or interfere with God's warriors, and whatever tainted energy they possessed was too insignificant to pose a threat to the field itself.
At least, that was how it appeared to everyone else.
The Virtue responsible for maintaining the Holy Field could feel something the others couldn't.
