The military nation Dwargon.
It was the Kingdom of dwarves.
1,000 years had passed since the first generation dwarf hero, King Guran
Dwargo, had built this country.
To this day, the country had been protecting, as well as developing, its
history, culture, and technologies.
The current King Gazelle Dwargo was part of the third generation
dwarves, but possessed a similar aura to that of his grandfather in his
He was renowned as a great hero and celebrated as a wise king for his
The land was governed by one such a dwarf.
As a free trade town, it was the center of trade between all kinds of races.
Therefore, the town kept a policy of absolute neutrality.
Within this town, the wise king would not tolerate violence.
Even the Empire in the east avoided open aggression with the military
Needless to say, this was a favourite topic of conversation among
The dwarves were known to be such ferocious opponents, that there was
even a saying, âgo against a dwarf once, there wonât be a second time!â.
Their reputation as a military nation was not just for show!
In battle, a wall of heavy infantry would defend the Army Magic Corps.
The opposing enemies would be totally annihilated by the powerful magic
attacks before even managing to break through the infantry wall.
During these past 1,000 years, the might of the dwarven army that boasted
of invincibility had always remained famous.
And the factor which supported their claimsâŚ
It was none other than the equipments they produced using their
The weapons and armors they crafted using their cutting-edge techniques,
far surpassed the quality of ordinary goods.
Rather than quarrel with the dwarf race, people chose to create friendly
For this reason, even if one were to encounter demons in dwarf territory,
there was hardly anyone who would foolishly cause conflict.
Their capital was a place where humans and demons mingled.
It was truly one of the strangest lands in the world.
Not to mention, while the capital positively overflowed with tools of war,
it was still a country that was able to enjoy peace.
The fact that the arms dealersâ stronghold was the farthest from causing
strife might have been, in a wayâŚironic.
In front of the entrance, there was a large line of people entering.
There, a large gate was built that was big enough to completely block the
naturally-formed great cave.
The only times the gate was opened was on the occasions when the army
needed to come and go, and only once a month at that.
Unfortunately, it was closed today.
Below the large gate, a small door was installed for the express purpose of
letting people in and out.
A line of people was formed on the left side of the passage. It appeared that
the right hand side was a pathway for the likes of nobles and important
Thatâs what I assumed as I observed my surroundings while lining up on
While waiting, I saw that there was a varied treatment of the people, such
as those who received a free pass, while others would be taken into a
separate room to be checked.
Befitting of a military nation, the guards took a firmly defensive stance.
Although it seemed that you were comparatively free to act when you get
Still, the line was incredibly long. It might be that we would spend more
time here waiting than we did travelingâŚ!
But at the moment I was thinking that,
[Oi oi! Thereâs demons in a place like this! Weâre still not inside, so isnât it
[Hey, what are you doing lining up there? You guys are damn cheeky. If
you donât want to die, give me that spot!
Also, leave everything you have behind. And then Iâll let you go this
Those were really quite the dubious statements..
Actually, I think that voice full of ill intent was aimed towards us.
Over here, there was no one but me and Gobuta-kun.
In any case, taking along a group wearing only loincloths does make you
Rigur had also wanted to come, but I refused.
The other group was camping at the entrance of the forest, waiting for our
And that was why it was just us two, but I wonder if we looked like easy
It seemed that a pair of adventurers that didnât want to get in line had their
[Oi oi, Gobuta-kun, do you hear something?]
[Yes, I can hear it tooâŚ]
[Did you get caught up in something like this the last time you came?]
[Of course! I was beaten black and blue, then I got picked up by a group of
If they hadnât found me, I think I might have died back then~]
[⌠So you did get involved. Well then, can nothing be done about it?]
[Itâs something like the fate of weak demonsâŚ]
It looked like we were in trouble. Moreover, this was a considered a
normal occurrence hereâŚ
I wished Iâd known sooner.
As if he had realized my thoughts, Gobuta-kun was hanging his head.
I had finally gotten him to talk normally with me, but would this one time
mistake return him to his previous nervousness?
[Oi! Even though youâre nothing but a small fry. Donât be ignoring me
[Rather than that, isnât a talking slime rare? Donât you think itâll be
The two continued making their annoying conversation.
I vaguely felt like Iâve been told at one time that I had a Buddha-like deep
compassionâŚbut this was making me angry.
[Gobuta-kunâŚ. Do you remember the rules I said before?]
[I see. Well then, for a while, I want you to close your eyes and plug your
ears! You must not ever look this way!]
[âŚ? I donât really understand, but roger that!]
Now letâs see. I was the one who made the rules, yet I would be breaking
If my group came to know of this, it would be bad from an educational
Since I made sure that Gobuta-kun, who was in the way, closed his eyesâŚ
letâs begin clearing the trash!
At that moment, the man on my right shifted his line of sight.
Further checking my surroundingsâŚI saw a group of three grinning
amongst themselves as they observed the situation from afar.
The two in front of me was a swordsman and another man wearing
lightweight equipment. Most likely, he was in the profession of thieving.
In the group of three, there was two that were wearing magician or priestlike
robes, and a large warrior.
I made a prediction. All of them were in the same party, and these two in
front were meant to chase us out, according to their plan.
Afterwards, the other three would follow and kill us as we run away, and
then innocently regroup with the first two.
I dare say that this was the scenario that they laid out.
In this way, they must have killed the weaker demons and stolen their
HoweverâŚthis time, they picked the wrong opponent!
[Oi oi! You should patiently wait for your turn! Iâm a very tolerant fellow,
so itâs not too late for forgiveness. Hurry up and line up from the back!]
In that instant, the two in front of me were bewildered, and their faces
These guys had short tempers.
[Putting up a front when youâre nothing but a sh*tty small fry demonâŚ
[Oi oi, youâre as good as dead now! I even considered sparing your life if
only you gave up your belongings!]
They were reciting the kind of lines suited to petty underlings.
Heh. Back when I was a general contractor, if you couldnât manage to
make scary grim faced uncles dance to your tune, you just werenât fit for
Among those uncles, there were even some that had playfully scribbled
things (tattoos) on their body.
The feeble threats of a greenhorn, was nothing more than passing wind.
[A sh*tty small fry demon? Were you talking about me?]
[Of course itâs about you! The likes of a slime is a small fry among small
[Hurry up and get over here. It looks like you can talk well, so Iâll turn you
into a demon slave without killing you!]
A demon slave? There was something like that?
Leaving that aside for the moment.
The nearby merchants and adventurers were starting to notice the
disturbance we were causing.
I had to gather more attention.
Although I donât know if such a thing as legitimate self-defence would
work hereâŚit would be great if even a few people could testify for me.
However, was there no kind human who would yell, âIâll save you!â, and
If I was a beautiful girl, there might have been someone like that, but I
guess itâs unreasonable to expect for a slime.
[Calling me small fry over and over, you sure talk arrogantly!
[No matter how I see it, youâre definitely a slime!]
[Damn you, messing with meâŚ! I canât forgive being made a fool of by a
weakling like you! Iâll kill you after all!]
After saying that, the two readied their weapons.
Ah! At last they were about to come at me.
Oh boy. The first humans I got to talk to was like thisâŚ. Such bad luck. To
think that demons were friendlier.
The people nearby had begun moving away to watch in a circle around us
Perhaps the guards had also noticed the uproar, which might have been
why they distanced themselves in such a hurry.
I leisurely moved forwards and said,
[Kukuku. You say Iâm a weakling? A slime? âŚSince when did I become a
slime! Or are you just confused?]
I deliberately spoke as if to imply something else.
It was true, that however you looked at it, I really am a slime. That was
obvious from the very moment I was seen as a slime.
But this was, an act!âŚprobably.
[What did you say? Donât get carried away with bluffing!]
[Hmph! If youâre not a slime then show your real form already! After
youâre dead, you wonât get to make excuses!]
It seemed they would wait for me to transform.
Even as a slime, I believe I could win against them.
However! Holding back would be hard, so I might end up accidentally
slicing them right in half.
It was difficult to adjust my strength to the degree of only knocking them
[All right then. Iâll let you see, this true form of mine!]
*This isnât even my final form!
As I shouted, I also loosed a sinister aura to hint at my power.
Of course, only a little bit of it.
I checked around me to see if anyone had sensed that small amount of
Among the people watching us from far away, only a few had noticed.
The two idiots before me and their companions showed no sign of being
These guysâŚseemed to be all bark and no bite.
I was done with observing the situation now. Now then, what should I turn
From my body erupted a thick fog.
It completely shrouded my formâŚand after a while it cleared away to
reveal a different demon.
Oh? I remember the last time I used Predation and transformed afterwards,
I had taken the form of a Fanged WolfâŚ
Right now, I had black fur that was identical to that of the evolved Ranga
But not only that, my physique exceeded even Rangaâs, and there was now
a pair of horns on my forehead.
Mimesis: Tempest Star Wolf
âŚIt seems that, if the lineage of the demon Iâve used Predation on evolved,
it would also affect my mimicry.
*Most likely related to Rimuru naming them, which makes them âfamilyâ and connected in a way
This must have been a further evolved form of Ranga. I could feel an
I was sure that the idiot pair would run away upon seeing this appearance.
But contrary to my expectation,
[Ha! Even if you look tougher on the outside, it doesnât change that youâre
[Oi oi, did you think weâd get cold feet and run away from just that!?]
âŚThey donât realize anything!
Oi oi, you should be able to know the level of danger just by looking!
In the first place, if a slime transforms, even if you couldnât tell if it was an
illusion or something else, taking caution is a given.
And yet, these guys werenât concerned in the least.
Perhaps they were reassured by the presence of their three friends in
The number of skills I could use had also increased.
ăSuper Olfaction, Thought Transmission, Intimidation, Shadow
Movement, Black Lightningă.
Shadow Movement was a skill that Ranga and co was in the middle of
Their goal was to become able to use the skill to merge into the shadow of
their partner and instantly appear when called.
At present, they were only practicing entering shadows, so there was still a
And the other, Black LightningâŚI could imagine its power without
needing to test it. If I tried it out, the pitiful men in front of me would be
But since my predictions were rather poor, their conditions may turn out
even worse. This being the case, there was no skills to use.
If only ăIntimidationă would work on these morons! In a way, arenât
Anyhow, the end result was that I only managed to terrify a few of the
spectators out of their wits instead.
[Oh boyâŚI donât care anymore. This is too tiring, so just come at me!]
I let them have the first strike.
If I received damage while mimicking, what would happen?
On one occasion, I had experimented on that question while in lizard form.
I found out while continuously receiving attacks, that when a certain
amount of damage accumulated, the mimicry would wear off.
Afterwards, there was no damage that had transferred to my slime body.
Most likely, it was because the skill Mimesis utilized magic essence to
create a new body, which was why the main body couldnât be damaged.
There were two restrictions on this skill. After Mimesis wore off, I would
be unable to transform for the next 3 minutes, and the other was that
mimicking a demon required a certain amount of magic essence.
The amount of magic essence required was relatively insignificant, hence
it was not an issue, and there was no duration limit to the skill.
To sum up, there wouldnât be a problem in letting them attack me as much
In the case that the opponents were strong, I could return to my slime form
And the fight began with them attacking first.
[Raaaagh!!! ăWind Slashă!!!!!]
The thief threw multiple daggers towards me.
And was that swordsman using a skill attack? His sword was glowing
green as he swung the blade at me.
Simultaneously throwing three daggers was quite impressive, but there
wasnât enough force behind them to pierce my bristles.
As for the swordsman, sadlyâŚhis precious sword had broken with a snap.
[Just now, did you do something?]
Assuming the role of a villain with an air of experience, I enthusiastically
asked them in a belittling way.
But frankly, the power of their attacks were so weak that my question was
Was that skill nothing but a show?
[N-, no way! Such hard bristlesâŚ]
[ImpossibleâŚthis-, this kind of thing, itâs impossible!!! My sword was
made with silver! It had a power amplifying effect against demons!!!]
âŚWell of course, isnât silver fragile? What was he even sayingâŚthis guy.
[Oi! You guys help out as well!!!]
As if no longer caring for appearance, he called for his companions. As I
expected, the three that were in hiding was a part of their group.
[Heh! Itâs the end for you now!]
[My myâŚreally, I didnât expect we would get a turn!]
[A slimeâs transformation magic? Interesting. Iâll be sure to dissect it after
[For a while now, it hasnât been moving at all. Moving will probably break
the spell. Howâs that? Did I hit bullseye!?]
They were making so much noise while saying whatever they liked.
The five of them then spread out in a circle around me, and began
attacking at the same time.
The thief slashed at me with a short sword.
This time, the swordsman casted a magic attack, ăWind Sicklesă. (He was
The heavy warrior bellowed [ăHeavy Slashă!!!] as he swung his great axe.
The magician also used a magic attack, ăFireballă.
The priest was creating a magic shield in preparation for my attack.
As a party, it was a well balanced formation.
Though unfortunately for them, none of their attacks had affected meâŚ
I peeked a fleeting glance towards them.
Apparently, they were too shocked to make a sound.
If it was now, ăIntimidationă might have an effect.
*Wolf howling. Believe me when I say Iâm really sorry âbout the bad sound effects
I used ăIntimidationă on top of my howling.
But, this turned out to be a massive failureâŚ
Even the spectators were fainting over here, and wetting their pants over
To put simply, the situation was a great disaster.
CrapâŚwhat should I do? This definitely wouldnât end well at all.
Eh? What about the group of five?
They had taken the full brunt of ăIntimidationă at point-blank range.
There wasnât really a need to say it out loud.
And suddenly, I detected a number of dwarven guardsmen that were
running this way with ăMagic Perceptionă.
As for my current state of mindâŚ
I gazed at the scene of people soiling their pants with various substances,
and I unconcernedly thought to myself while escaping from reality,
[Cleaning up after that mess would really suck huh~.]
