Dungeon and Slime

Volume 2

→ Extraordinary Skill

.

That part of the prison turned out to be normal. The walls were made of brick and the torches were held in place at a certain distance.

Thanks to that there is no problem with the lighting. There is a labyrinthine corridor that makes it easy to get lost when you are here.

"There's no use in doubt, it's time to move on."

When I started moving forward, the gate behind me closed again by itself.

Uwa, it scared me and just as I was about to step into it

. . . Oh brave adventurer, you made it here. . . I'm waiting for you on the second floor. . . There, I'll let it be mine. . . Come closer!

Hah ? Suddenly a woman's voice echoed from within the room. The inside was too quiet and filled with a chill that pierced the skin. But it doesn't affect me, because I'm a Slime.

Maybe a trap? Prepare my sword, which I got the day before. I continued, turning into the corridor on the right side, I froze.

"This... Impossible, right?"

What I encountered were three golden female centipedes. The figure was taller than my form with a height of about 200 cm, but was usually red in color. The golden centipedes here are almost non-existent in the outside world. How could they be in this place, perhaps the three of them were in charge of defending this place?

"Rooaarr..."

One of them became aggressive and attacked with big pincers. It was a type of attack that had a large impact on [Shift Claw].

Without thinking I dodged it and slashed it with my sword. Its skin is so tough, that my sword can't cut it. The other two were still standing there.

Centipedes are generally high level monsters, so I can't handle them much.

. . . Of course I can use my copying skills. But when I feel sick, no one can help me.

I felt their waves of power pierce my body. Looks like our levels are much different, and by the way, I'm just a level 10 slime

"I wonder if I can avoid the golden centipede without fighting it."

Centipedes are very fast, therefore they are hard to beat. Based on the things that have been around me until now I haven't found a way to escape from them.

Even this is too difficult for me. I picked up a small rock that was on the floor, threw it at one of the centipedes.

"This is very ironic!"

Almost like a loser, but it couldn't be more than this. They took turns attacking this slime-only me.

. . . Without thinking, when they attacked, I rolled away from the centipede, for the third time.

Before I knew it, I had managed to dodge all of their attacks.

"Ah, this won't work, I have to hurry and run from them!"

Running away from the three centipedes.

There is also an effort. . . That doesn't betray the result. I ran away from them, for the reason they were very dangerous. The first floor alone was full of monsters like this, but after escaping the three centipedes.

I ventured to continue walking. Instantly I saw a ladder and walked down it.

. . . Come over. . .

That voice again.

Although, it might be a trap, but I can't ignore it.

The second floor has many doors that lead to small rooms. But I keep looking for that sound, which guides me to a certain room of all.

"What's in here, the sound ends in this room!"

Opened a dull door with rusted hinges.

. . . To my surprise, the figure of a woman from the skinny dragon race with white hair was hung by a chain in the center of the room. Each of the four chains leading to the wall has a giant sculpture holding an elongated chain.

She looks limp helpless.

"Is she still alive?"

I approached cautiously while keeping a few meters away. There was a pale face, but I also couldn't tell how old he was.

All I can say when I first see her, is, she is beautiful in her perfect state.

. . . Come near, and touch. . . my head. . .

A broken voice spoke to me.

Shocked as if death was coming to me at this time.

Gathering courage, I touched his head.

"What . . . ?!"

Telepathy? In an instant all the things she wanted to convey fell to me, flowing into my mind like a waterfall.

Rea, Dragon race

High-tier monsters, Super Special-tier Adventurers

"Really ?"

It seemed like he was also the leading role in this world and already 500 years ago.

While on an adventure, he came across this cave by accident. Inside he found an ancient spell inscribed on one side of the wall, deciphering several ancient texts using his skills. He managed to open the stone gate inside this cave, and into the dungeon.

"Eeh, so this Secret Dungeon is no longer what it is called, what the hell is going on here?"

Before me, the second adventurer.

There was Rea, who was when he entered this room. Automatically, a trap is active and turns it into something like this.

It's amazing, that he's been cooped up here for 500 years.

Tragic story.

"I understand the gist of it all. And let me free you from here"

"Stop! This is a chain of curses, don't do anything without finding out!"

As if we were connected, I could hear it right inside my head.

The articulation was so smooth, he looked so excited. But there was no visible facial expression or just finger movements.

It seemed that his body and mind were separate from each other.

"This is a chain with the curse of death. Cut it and me who is helpless will die!"

"Haah, wait, then why did you call me? If not to free you"

. . . I have been looking for someone all this time, I always send my voice even though it is a mere wishful thinking. And now, someone did come! Ah, this makes me want to cry.

Which means that the call wasn't a trigger for me to come here. So he had already spent 500 years of wasted time, every single day here!

"But, you are not human. You are of the same type as me. Are you a Slime? That disgusting slime"

Eek, like a needle pricking the heart. The words sounded so painful. My anger seemed to explode. . . I'll cut this chain.

"No. ... Please, don't do it! I'm sorry ... Gaarchuu!"

Hmm. . .

"My name is Gil. The reason I came here is to become stronger"

I accidentally told him about my situation this time. Still like before, his expression remained silent, but his voice through telepathy felt so warm.

"Isn't this a coincidence that has come true! Just when I was desperate, it occurred to me about handing over my skills to someone. Because you don't need them anymore, then you suddenly came. Wait, do you have any copying skills?"

"Haah, why do you know?"

"Of course ... Because I'm a great Rea. Look slime, I have a request for you. I can give all my skills to you. And make yourself stronger"

. . . Instantly I was confused. Hoping to find something instead confronted this woman.

"What is it, right? Say"

"Use your copying skills to me, and copy all the skills I have!"

Eeh, how about that? It's not that I don't want to, but I'm still worried about the skill's effect. I haven't really mastered these skills yet.

"Gaarchuu ... I have a solution for that. Drink the liquid from my chest, simultaneously use your copying skill"

"Haah, A-Um, are you kidding?"

. . . Does my face look deceiving?

Actually, his face still doesn't express anything.

"I-Alright, I started"

His heartbeat became faster as I pressed my lips against his chest. This time I actually felt like something was exploding inside my mouth.

The taste is sweet, with a thick, refreshing texture.

Aaggh. . . Gaarchuu. . .

[Skill Copying] This woman's entire skill is being copied! And strangely I don't feel any pain. My mind is calm, and we feel like we are one.

. . . All skills have been copied successfully. Now I can die in peace.

"Wait, you're still too fast to die!"

"Well, I know. Every now and then I want to make a joke ... Gaarchuu, now I will explain the skills you have copied"

Then he explained many wonderful things, and with this skill I can become stronger.

[Knowing Skill]

A skill to unlock new things for a certain amount of EP. Every new thing opened has a different cost based on the knowledge you want to unlock.

[Skill Judging]

The skills used to assess and analyze an object, these skills can be used to other people and other things. The amount of EP used differs depending on the target.

[Skill Transforming]

The skills to change about anyone and anything. EP consumption depends on the difficulty level of the content to be changed.

[EP Recovery]

Will get a number of EP according to the following actions.

> Enjoying something that is touching, is fun

> Having s*x with the opposite sex

> Monetary and material satisfaction, including power

> Fulfillment of other desires, including bearing offspring

Concentrating can see the current amount of EP, and it will appear in our mind.

Knowing, Judging, Changing.

All of that is new to me. Is that skill really that great?

"All those skills are quite great! The most important thing is how to use them, and it is important to always save EP"

"What about EP Recovery? That looks really useful"

"Yes, thanks to those skills. I can have a pleasant life. A little hard work, I can enjoy a lot of things and most importantly have fun with lots of men, you know?"

"Sigh..."

"Gaarchuu ... You can't deny that. Gil, don't think too much about it! When you want to be strong, it's important to keep trying! Remember that"

"There's not much I can hope for"

"Uee ... What do you mean? ... Gaarchuu, all right, how many EPs do you have now?"

When focusing, [EP 500] comes to my mind.

With not many. In this way, changing skills wouldn't be possible. But as an experiment you can try something easier.

"What if I change the EP to 0?"

. . . Gaarchuu [Death]

It's best to say that at the beginning of the conversation.

"If I end up spending all the EPs and die, will you be the one in charge?"

"No, you're smart, and you're not that type either. Gil, I can see that deep down in your heart"

"Heemm..."

Gaarchuu. . . Sorry, was I wrong? Yes, we continue, with Knowing skills. And this is the first time for you. How about trying to see the structure from the next floor? "

"Okay, I'll try"

Concentrate on using the [Knowing] skill

It cost 100 EP and without thinking I went on.

. . . What is this ? Let's have a look, the map is clearly visible from the third floor. There are several treasure chambers that are still untouched.

"Great, I can clearly see this maze just like that"

"That's right ... Gaarchuu! Very great, right? By the way, how is your current condition?"

"A little dizzy, but it's okay"

"You have to go home soon, rest for today. And make sure, you come again! Later I will tell you about various other things. On condition, call me Master!"

"Yes, Master, I ask for guidance from you. Hopefully Master can treat me well in the next opportunity"

"Very, perfect ... Gaarchuu"

"Because Master is a woman who is a genius, as well as a figure of the highest race. I think it deserves you"

"Gil, you sure know how to temper a predator like me..."

"Hehe .... Then, excuse me, Master. I promise I'll come back again"

My vitality didn't feel very good, I did as ordered by Master, and got out of the dungeon.

On the way home, I screamed with joy and accidentally shouted those words clearly.

"Yahoo... It's a great start! I'll be the strongest"

"Don't look at me like that!"

.

.

[Dungeon and Slime] - from low level to the strongest monster

.

Arriving at home, you can see Elly doing house chores. Clean the floor with a mop.

"Brother Gil, watch your footsteps!"

I walked without looking. . . Eeh, Braak, I fell on my back because of the slippery floor which was still wet.

Instead of going to help me, Elly accidentally stepped on the wet part of the floor.

. . . Uwaa, Gyuut, tight because they are crushed by Elly's body.

Obtained EP 100.

"Brother Gil, I'm sorry. Are you okay?"

. . . OK -KO!
