Tensei Shitara Slime Data Ken
Part VIII The power in my hands

It's been a long time since I last walked under the sun.

But I'm not a vampire who's gonna melt or get hurt in the sun.

Right now, using my monster instincts, I can sense such dangerous behavior.

However, I would often do so even if I knew it was dangerous.

There's nothing to laugh about.

I really need to raise my awareness.

The cave seemed to be in the middle of the forest.

The entrance is located at the base of what you can call a small mountain or a large hill.

Loading from among the tall trees, the hill could be seen from afar.

Regardless of the description, it is the only place where you can see the sun. The forest is dim compared.

Did the magic circle feel it.

"The wise stay away from danger" as they say.

So, I quickly left that place.

Since I left the cave, some time has passed.

The sun is beginning to fall to the horizon.

It seems I left the cave right at noon.

You will be surprised how much I want to align my biological clock with the sun.

When I think so, it changes naturally.

Is this so simple …?

Now, it's 4pm.

It's time for dinner, but unfortunately I don't need food.

I could eat, but since I felt nothing, it was very futile.

With thoughts about food, I remember.

The monster I ate in the cave.

Although I gained new powers, I have not used them.

Black Snake [Heat Detection, Toxic Breath]

The Centipede Monster [Paralysis Breath]

Big Spider [Sticky Thread, Steel Thread]

Vampire Bat [Vampire, Ultrasonic Wave]

The Carapace Lizard [Body Armor]

The black snake [Dangerous Breath], for example, I cannot use at all.

Honestly, when the Carapace Lizard appeared, I had used it.

And as a result…

As if it was not armored at all!

The lizard is late in front of my eyes.

A very horrible sight. Even remembering makes me want to vomit.

And that's why I avoid it.

If, say, the adventurers had made use of this snake, they might have been annihilated before they could even cast a spell.

Hm? If I get hit by it?

I haven't thought about it, nor do I want to.

Say it, thank goodness I shot first!

Being hit by a dangerous breath .. would be bad.

But wait, it's not something I want to remember.

Since seeing the disheveled organs and the remnants of the bloody lizard is rather unpleasant – at least for me, I decided to completely forget about [Dangerous Breath]. What happens when used as a mucus?

The fingers are reduced by at least half.

If changed, the breath spreads about 7 ~ 10 meters, without imitating which is reduced to only one meter.

In any case, do you want to see the opponent melt in front of you? Therefore, this skill I have hidden.

On the other hand, [Heat Detection] was incredible.

Living things radiate heat.

If combined with [Magic Perception], there was no unknown attack. However, since high-class humans and monsters may have some special skills or magic, this is no reason to disappoint me.

Next, about the centipede.

Won't emulate this one – because of appearance.

The paralysis breath works the same as a snake. The range is no different either.

And as I expected, the distance was reduced to a meter when used as slime. But, it might be a great skill to use during an ambush.

Or so I want to say, but if I have to fight an enemy that close, I better turn or run. Anything else would result in an inevitable defeat.

Kolkata .

It was absorbed after being completely melted by my venomous breath. Thus, restoring the body proved impossible.

By the way, having physical attack resistance made the transformation useless.

So I tried to use [Body Armor] while slime.

Hardened face.

As you will find in some MMOs, I have become a metallic slime.

My previously light blue body had changed color to a bluish silver metal.

However, since I did not try to accept the damage, I have no idea how good it really is.

I did get a pretty color option.

Maybe I'll use it to surprise some enemies.

That is the extent of the strength of these three species.

The problem is the two remaining.

They have very interesting powers.

You wonder what's so funny about them?

First, spiders.

Right, you all know about heroes who have spider powers, right?

* hyui! * He fired a thread from his wrist, jumping from building to building.

That famous man.

[Sticky Thread] is meant to trap your enemies and prevent them from moving.

However, if I use it, can I reproduce its movements?

Quickly, I tested it.

Shoot a big tree …

* hyui! … Buraaaan ….

Umm, let me explain [Steel Thread].

[Sticky Thread]? Whatisit? Know nothing about the skills that hang you in the tree.

So, about [Steel Thread].

It is intended to be used to defend against enemy attacks.

Or when creating a nest, it can be used to increase your profits (build a maze).

But what I tried was to make one thin thread and whip it in the tree.

* pyun! Buchins. *

It's easy to cut.

And, there's that too.

Although I can see it easily with my [Magic Perception], it is actually very difficult to see with the naked eye.

With practice, it can be a reliable weapon.

I'll practice with that later.

And last – bats.

[vampirism] skills? By sucking the blood of the target, I can temporarily gain his abilities.

Not a skill to worry about.

I mean, [Predator] is better. Is it too arrogant to consider [Vampirism] its relegated version?

And I don't really want to suck blood.

So after knowing all I could about it, I ignored [Vampirism].

On the contrary, the skill that interests me is [Uscound Wave].

More than confusing the enemy or making him faint, the skill could also indicate the location of a person.

In my real world, bats go around using the same abilities.

But don't miss the main point. It's basically a vocal cords!

By itself, the skill was nothing special.

So my next step is to create the organs necessary to use these sound waves.

Fortunately, I didn't have to make it just out of imagination and could instead reproduce it based on the bats I absorbed.

With this, I might finally be able to talk.

Tired and exhausted, I continued to work all night without a single sleep!

… Not that I need …

Three days and three nights of constant research, and see the results !!!

「Take Me To Your LeOrR! E

The success!

As for how it sounds – have you ever spoken right in front of the fan, that distorted sound? Yeah, that's how it is.

The rest can be fixed with minor adjustments.

While calming my excitement, I carefully began making adjustments.

However, it seems like I can't use [Uscound Waves].

I swear I can fire sound waves …

I would call it Sonic Blaster or Sonic Buster …

Can I use that?

＜＜ Solutions. From the [Uscound Wave] skill, the [Highest Vibration] skill can be lowered. However, it is currently unobtainable. ＞＞

Lower, huh? It may be necessary to have evolved skills first.

So I lacked enough information to successfully obtain the next skill.

Shame..it must be nice to have a skill that when fired will resonate with the target and destroy it.

To be honest, if I don't get it myself, how can I expect to use it?

I seem to be a pretty greedy slime.

Having a lot of ability, without question, is a good thing. But, I see no need to rush.

I should be content with restoring my voice.

So, while trying things, I continued on this path.

Without direction in mind.

But I feel my purpose is good.

Somewhere outside the forest, there was a town with some nice people I could talk to …

These days are pretty peaceful.

In the cave, I was often struck by monsters, but since coming here, I have not fought.

Just this once: while I was practicing speaking, I was attacked by wolves.

"NEITHER"?"

I threatened them with my own voice.

「Kyaiiiiiiiin !!!」

And they fled with a miserable whimper.

Larger than the largest dog breed, with a body length of more than two meters, and a full pack of them …

What's there to say? Fear of low mucus .. so pathetic.

As for me, I have no desire to fight.

Although I can get a sense of smell as a result …

The thought piqued my interest, so I kept watching; but there were no wolves in sight.

Actually, there are no monsters within a hundred meters of me.

Hm? Somehow, it seems like they are afraid of me …?

Wh why?

Yep, sure, I can feel their fear.

After confirming that, I sensed a group of monsters approaching.

In front of my eyes, a group of 30 human-like monsters stumbled in front of me.

Small body.

Rough equipment.

Covered in a thin layer of soil, their expressions lacked intelligence.

But, not entirely barbaric. There were also some who wore swords, spears, stone axes, and bows.

My gray matter (brain cells) quickly saw their true identity!

A famous monster that will attack adventurers! Yes, Goblin !!!

How stereotyped.

And what they attacked was a weak monster .. so myself?

But hey, to come up with 30 people against a single slime ... that's too much!

But somehow I don't feel scared.

My instincts refuse to fear them.

Many of their swords were rusted, and their armor was thin. Some sew some rotten cloth.

Compare: lizards covered in thousands of hard scales; spiders with sharp knife-like legs.

I who have endured that battle, cannot imagine the suffering at the hands of these goblins.

And in the worst case scenario, I would just mimic a snake and take some.

When I think of these things, one of them stepped forward – maybe its leader – opened his mouth.

「Guga. O Strong .. Do you, have a business, up front? 」

Goblins can talk.

I wonder if they can use any [Magic Perception] …

… and do they call me "strong man"?

First surround me armed with weapons, and then politely ask questions.

I'm amused.

After all, it seemed like they would not directly attack.

Will my words reach them? I guess I should try.

So, I tried to talk to the goblins.
