Slime Tensei Monogatari Chapter 11

Chapter 11 Slime Slaughter Drama

Despite being unexpectedly upset to that extent, I have remembered the way back to the den and arrived there relatively easy. I was observing at the state of things from the shade of the gra.s.s. As expected I still hesitated to go out confidently even if I was not exposed.
As usual, it would seem that most slimes are asleep in the den when it was not hunting time. There are only a few of them who are up and are still moving.

I have decided what I need to do, pointlessly prolonging it would only dull my resolve.
When I went to the entrance of the den, I tried to use the skill that I used against the goblin to get the skill inside the cave.
"Gaaaaaaaah!"

I shouted at full strength while being aware that I was using the skill. Naturally I used it, it was a cry of intimidation that was used by the goblin.
Intimidation, in other words it is a declaration of intent to attack from now on.  Of course, there is a reason for doing such a thing without making a surprise attack.
That is to try out the effect of the skill. There are quite a few skills that you would not know the effect unless you try it out, of course there are skills that you cannot master unless you try out a few things.

Such a slime was not an enemy, thus I decided to try them out as much as possible. (TLN: Anyone have a better translation? スライムなんて敵ではないし、それらを出来る限り試してみることにしたのだ。)
The slimes woke up due to the effects of intimidation but not one of them attacked. Now that I look at it closely, quite a few of them fainted and that number is slowly rising. Apparently, the skill causes confusion if successful.
Furthermore I want to test out and see other things thus I would mercilessly trample down on the slime in the den.

Whiplash.

A battle scene with small fries is nothing else but a complete waste, it cuts all.

Thrust, throw, these are all attack methods of whiplash which uses the tentacles. Everything is convenient but among them the most convenient is thrusting.

If your enemy is a slime it can easily penetrate by utilizing liquid body manipulation to sharpen the tip to point, if the tip is rounded then it can be used not to kill an opponent. Furthermore, paralysis and poison can be generated from the tip; I can directly inject poison into the body of the enemy.
I would be able to conveniently purify the recovery system of the body to be used in case of emergency with this, I want to memorize it quickly.

Later, the ability of the homicide skill became clear somehow. It is exactly as the name says, damage to the designated race increases. The attack against the slime is obviously even more effective than before.

The way to improve the effect is to probably defeat a certain number of the race.
As for this, if the opposite were to happen and the enemy has the slime killer skill, it would probably become a considerable threat. I'll remember it

Now then, the next thing to do is to explore evolution.

"… it became even more predictable"

Something like this, it is too troublesome despite being a slime, the events that has happened in this world that I was reincarnated is far too little.

I know that it does not proceed easily like a game, I would like a more innovative event to happen.

(Maa [EN: Well], It has not been 3 days since I was reincarnated)

Now that I think about it, it is too ambitious. Let's do our best and think of a shortcut to steadily attain number 1.

When I went out of the den, it has begun to rain before anyone noticed. It was quite strong and even in the forest, where the trees grow thick, you still get wet.

The fog too came in, even forests with poor prospects in them have additional annoying traits.

"Just now, it seems dangerous to go out."

The poor visibility increases the risk of getting ambushed by a lot. I tend to believe that it will make it easier for them to perform an ambush, unexpectedly the feeling from my previous existence who is a human never changed.

In other words, I cannot do it with common sense, in the present condition it is almost impossible to discern the surroundings wherein there is no visibility.

It is also questionable whether a slime is immune against temperature change. It is a common pattern wherein it is weak against fire or heat, I cannot imagine what would happen if it would get wet or cooled.

So, I stretched out a tentacle and wet them in the rain for a while. There seems to be no problem for the part that got wet with water. However, the cold started to encroach the body gradually. The sense of losing strength from all over the body happens at the same time, the will to move is lost.

(It is best that I stop)

Probably because it is liquid, after all slimes are still vulnerable to heat change. If not so then staying in this den was intentional.

To think that they have made a den that would not get wet then they are taking a rest, there does not seem to be much feeling of comrades.h.i.+p with those fellows and understood that they are only monsters thinking about attacking a person.

Of course, walking around in such a sorry state is an absolutely scary thing to do, I decided to learn from the wisdom of the ancient people and take a rest here. I sent the memory of the pioneers being murdered cruelly here a short while ago to a faraway place.

I had plenty of sleep already so it is a waste to sleep again, thus I decided to train the skills that I am not able to manage yet even if I have acquired it.

Simply put, it is the control of the tentacle. The battle here made the width change to some extent but I can still make it thick and stretch it to the limits, it did not go as well as I have thought. The level wherein I can freely make and form a hand was still too far off.

I think that it is important to get used to in terms of handling the tentacles, I decided to train thoroughly until the rain stops.

That is what I thought but eventually night came and it was still raining, I was forced to spend the night at the den.
