Chapter 691: Exploring The Slime Dungeon! A Mysteriously Strong Blue Slime Emerges!
—–
What had happened before we made our way to the dungeon and we encountered the blue slime was quite something akin to a weird movie. Yuki had exceeded herself a bit there, but I couldn't help but let her have her way, after all what had happened wasn't something that I would had wanted my adopted daughter (pet) to experience…
Of course, there was a lot of corpses left back then, but with the help of Pekora, I quickly stuck their limbs back to their bodies and then the head back to the guy without a head, their souls were still around so I stuck them back into the body and then reanimated it using death magic. Thanks to the life magic from Pekora, I was able to reanimate them at the end, making them into Zombies, well, living zombies or something. At the end, I also used Phantom Contract so they could obey me, and then I left them there after giving them some basic orders.
After that incident ended, we walked downstairs and reached the dungeon's first floor, floor 1, it had several little rooms which often have either some shitty item or a random slime monster or whatever.
As mentioned earlier, I discovered the slimes of this dungeon are all either blue, green, or red, with red being the rarest of them for some weird reason? Maybe fire slimes are weird? I certainly want to eat one, could I be able to spit fire if I do? That would make me a fire ice dragon then! Wow, the entire concept and selling point of my life has been completely crumbled now that I wield more elements, boohoo…
Anyways, these slimes are not really elemental as I had first thought though, by analyzing this little blue slime in front of me and from the info they told me beforehand (courtesy of the lovely Marie) they seem to not have any elemental power and just had normal slime powers…
And by normal slime powers, I began to suddenly remember we once fought a big swarm of them. Yep, these annoying slimes we once fought as we traveled back to Benladann's hometown, which were Wind Slimes, Ice Slimes, and Water Slimes, I think? They had even Kings, which were a bit harder to kill, but the amount of Skills and power I got from them was wondrous.
I don't even know where they even came from but we just found them and killed them, you could say that it was like those training arcs in anime or something, we also got some nice ingredients to make some jelly out of the slimes. I never knew that slimes could be eaten, I always thought when I read my novels that they were some sort of poisonous creatures or something, something that couldn't be easily eaten. Yeah, I know there's Dungeon Meshi with their weird slimes, but those guys didn't felt like slimes to me and I didn't count them in the list. These slimes were more conventional like they're often see, not just a big cell, but a big ass mass of goo.
And well, after eating them, I got some useful skills I am still using, such as the slime clone powers, which had been helping me tremendously since the moment I acquired them. I still remember those days I was trying them out and tearing myself apart while realizing I could still "live" while still being torn apart, very weird, but I guess "Immortal Body" also helped in thar regard, making me immortal and all… All these Skills helped in many ways, I was even able to create my army of little clones that aid me in all sorts of things, and are like my servants, but they're made of my won flesh and soul, so it is as if I was serving myself, very weird, I know.
Amongst many other Abilities, this ability to turn into slime also came with the power of shapeshifting! And after eating some random bandits, I even got my humanoid body back! How wonderful, it felt as if it was all set up by some god atop the skies, but it was all just a good coincidence, thanks to them my body became pretty weird, I guess, but that has helped a lot.
I know that after evolving enough, Dragons can learn stuff like Polymorph, some sort of magic that can let you turn into other forms one of such including human-like forms, so I would had been able to eventually become humanoid at best, but that didn't happened, and I went into the Re:Monster route where I just ate monsters for the necessary skills to progress through this life of mine, what a trope-filled journey has it been.
Of course, it has been a journey filled with many misadventures and so on, but it was also one filled with many nice things, and I've reached a good point in life where things are mildly stable, I can easily take care of the situation and decide what to do, and as of now, I am enjoying my life as I please and doing whatever I want, while still being cautious about everything else…
And right, there was this one little blue slime approaching us as I began to overthink my life for the tenth time today, I think this is the aftereffect of having the power of diving my mind into many minds inside my head. I mean, it helps at detecting things and being able to conjure magic even faster than before, but it is really an annoying thing, isn't it?
"BLOOB!"
The Blue Slime began to quickly move towards us at a speed I actually didn't expect at all- Oi, isn't he too speedy for a Rank 1?!
"BAAAH!"
Before I could punch the slime to death, Benladra caught it as it jumped. Firing a deadly beam of powerful light from her mouth, her breath attack, and blasting the living hell out of that slime with a single and loud explosion.
BOOOOOMMM!!!
