Chapter 26: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 25

Human Transformation!

Shizu-san said.

She passed me her life's only goal.

Now, to realize the goal that befalls me, I must start to gather information about "Demon Lord".

I had accepted it easily, but the promise I made must be fulfilled. .

I am a man who keeps his promises.

She left me with a new ability.

Unique Skill "Shapeshifter" and Extra Skill "Fire Manipulation".

Incidentally, it seems I also ate Flame Giant (Ifrit).

Even though it wasn't my enemy, this guy is still dangerous.

After all, this guy surpasses rank A.

Without a question, neither Black Snake nor Black Wolf would be able to win against it.

I need to research its abilities, little by little.

But before that!

There was something more important that I need to check right now.

Right! Humanization!!!

I enter a simple tent, newly set up for my personal needs.

No one can enter! I said and closed the door.

Ku kuku, Kuha ha, Ku ha hahaha!

I correctly execute a three-stage laughter. (TL: it likes how villains laugh. Like the one Verudora use in chapter 3.)

"Traaaaan~ form!"

Although there aren't any sound effects, executing Mimicry: Human!

It's a first time I'm looking forward to the mimicked body this much.

However,

...... What?

Oyaoyaoya.....

The black fog that always appeared during mimicking didn't come out.

What's going on! So, I thought, but my eye level became slightly higher.

I could also feel hands and feet.

And, my skin color changed from the normal pale blue.

Mu, mu mumu?

Though I don't really get it, I feel somewhat different than from what I had intended.

It's a shame that there was no mirror.

However,

Although, I don't want to admit it but I remember once feeling the same way.

A long time ago… around 30 years ago.

Feels just like when I had been attending elementary school.

I wanted to stop to think for a bit.

But there was something I had just notice; there was a big difference.

It's gone.

In the new form I had taken, my Son had been missing....!!!!!!

What is the meaning of this?

I panicked.

I immediately went to check.

Thus, I came to know a shocking fact....

No...., none.

Smooth, there was nothing.

We~ll well, if you think about it, when I mimicry monsters, I had never wondered about such things.

With no need for excretion, I can't be expecting to suddenly have those organs, can I…

An obvious truth… I, who doesn't reproduce, has no need for reproductive organs.

The answer..., the state I in right now, the fact was.....

With deep sense of loss, I understand! Suddenly a worry beset me.

No way! I try checking my head in a hurry. It had bushy and soft feel.

I let out a sigh of relief.

I don't look like an alien or some suspicious person… thank goodness!

Come to think about it, the black wolf's fur was also bushy.

Just imagining a fur-less monsters makes me feel bad.....

Stop. Any further thoughts may prove dangerous.

Now, had I, who always maintains a cool head, became flustered?

By this time, I had already accepted the thing regarding my son.

However, it's rather painful that I can't check this body...

And then, a nice idea comes to mind. Can I use "Clones"?

As expected from myself.

Whether it's possible to use in this state—I don't know; but, let's try it.

Black fog gushes out from my body, it gathers in front of my eyes and turns into human form.

In a moment, it completed.

This.... is dangerous

It's dangerous, in many ways

First the appearance.

The figure is lovely silver haired, beautiful girl? Or beautiful boy? It's natural because there is no sex, but....

In any case, the features were more like those of a girl.

Probably, because the original body was Shizu-san's, my genes were nowhere to be seen.

That was, well… probably to be expected.

A lovely child, standing naked. Well, there are no parts to be hidden…

But that's not the problem, this seems morally dangerous.

But, the insanely cute face. To Shizu-san > GOOD JOB! Let me say that.

I was a Nice Guy, but never this beautiful.

Thus, I honestly thank you.

I was wrapped in fur, and the clone also appeared with it.

Right now, I still had not prepared any clothes.

The reason why it's dangerous was.

Because of its abilities.

The clone had excellent thinking capabilities, and completely linked to me.

Which mean, both are me.

There is no difference between the main body and the clone.

No, the ability of the flame giant (Ifrit)'s clones clearly are inferior.

Yet, I feel that my clone are not inferior. No, I wonder if it is lacking.....

There are differences.

In the magic power capacity. Originally the amount of magic power you can use is limited. It can't use more than originally given to it.

It's possible to keep giving it more magic power, however.

I have quite a lot of magic power. Depending on how I use it, it can be pretty powerful.

However, the flame giant (Ifrit)'s created about 10 clones,whereas my high performance clones are limited to a single body.

Though, if seen from opponent's side, it's definitely a cheat.

The last reason.

There was a lack of discomfort when mimicking..

I noticed it when the black fog did not occur.

For example, black wolf.

When turning into the black wolf, the mimicry configures it inside the black fog. But, it's inferior to slime's body abilities.

Even though slime's body doesn't have limbs, there are no restrictions on its physical movement, because the cell abilities were abnormally high.

Each one of the cells is muscle, brain, and also nerve.

Do you get it? The eye transmits information that the brain then processes.

But the slime avoids this process.

With "Great Sage" correction my perception speed are 1000 times the norm. Thus my reaction speed, is far about the ordinary person.

However, the body created inside the black fog has some lag-time—for the thoughts to reach the brain=actual brain.

Perhaps,the drop in quality of the clone was caused by this.

But, mimicking the human being does not release black fog....?

Because its reaction speed is equal to the slime. Thus, no discomfort.

And, due the fact that there are limbs now, its motor movements are better… But, it's a child.

Still, it's easier to move than as slime.

Also, because there no need for black fog, there is no need to consume magic power.

From now on, let's try considering this as the main form! So I thought.

Suddenly I got an idea, so I issue an order to the clone.

To change itself, smoothly.

The clone began to growth!!!

The physique becomes slurry. Fluttering Silver hair. Beautiful, medieval looks

Perfect!

Furthermore from it, it can change into woman or man of any type.

It can become macho or fat, it also can became young man or old man.

I found it possible to mimic into variety of conditions. Also, the reason for the black fog was apparently to accommodate the additional mass, so turning into an adult requires it.

This might be good as I can thus enhance my physical strength.

Although the reaction speed decreases, it is more advantageous to have larger strength.

Well, speed are also one of the more important elements in a fight! So, I think.

From then on I carried out more experiments, and got used to this body' abilities.

Thus I, in this world,got my hands on a human body!

----------------------------------------------------------------


Chapter 27: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Chapter 26

New Abilities

Well then, now that I acquired a human body, I can't be walking around in "fur" forever!

So I requested a set of clothing to be made.

While the slime body is certainly convenient, is has fatal flaws to it.

And that flaw is the lack of equipment. That is, other than some special magic items, I could not equip anything.

It's not like I feel cold or anything, but I want some extra defense.

Equipment that could protect me from at least one hit.

Besides, the dwarfs have made many articles with the materials the goblins have hunted.

First and foremost, I'll have a set of kids clothing prepared.

Thus, I went to the dwarfs.

Or more precisely, to the tailoring log cabin which was recently finished… apparently.

The eldest dwarf Garm was busy ordering the girls (Goblinas), and overseeing production.

「Yo! Garm-kun. There's some clothing I want you to make me!」

「… Danna. What are you saying? How are you planning on wearing it? You can't use equipment, can't you?」

「Fufufu. Fuhaha, haaaaahahahaha! Don't look down on me!

You thought it was the "can't wear anything" me, huh! Well, not anymore! Haaaaaaaaa!!!」

「Wha… what!!! Danna's body is growing… not. A kid, huh?」

「Tch. Not suprised, eh… Oh well. I can become an adult, but I want you to first make some clothing for this form!」

「O.. okay. Then, we'll start by measuring your size! Oi, Haruna. I leave Danna's measurements to you.」

I was measured by one of the tailors, Haruna.

Of course, although I was naked, I was not embarrassed. Since there's nothing there…

「My! How cute you've become, Rimuru-sama!」

Haruna said while recording my size.

Cute? I mean, I know I think I'm cute, but for the goblins to agree.

Must say, I'm surprised that monsters even have an aesthetic sense.

I decided to spend the following day by trying out my new skills.

I head off.

If I want to peacefully try out new skills, it's best for no one to be around.

Having notified Rigurdo of my absence, I ordered everyone to steer clear.

And, through the center of the city, I head into the cave.

The place where I met Veldora.

That underground cavern is wide, unnaturally dense, and, most of all, uninhabited.

The cave's monsters stay away out of fear.

Now then, let's start testing these out.

I've got, unique skill [Shapeshifter], extra skill [Fire Manipulation].

From the Flame Giant, [Clone], [Fire State], and [Area Boundary].

So what should I start with…

Since cloning seems promising let's start with the Flame Giant.

Fire State, huh. Wouldn't activate as a slime.

Chances are, this skill activates only under certain conditions… I wonder what they are.

As for Area Boundary, that I could use. But, I don't get it.

So the point of the skill is to seal thermal energy within a barrier and prevent any from leaking, huh?

But if I can activate this skill, why can't I use [Fire State]… wait a second. Didn't I just get my hands on a barrier?

Okay.

In the first place, this skill's main strength seems to be in trapping opponents. Quite a versatile skill, isn't it?

The boundaries maximum range is 100 meters, shaped into half a sphere. Does not expand underground.

The smallest I could get it was just enough to cover my body. It's effect did not change. Only the size did.

It's strength?

I create a clone on top of which I affixed the boundary.

Then, I shot out a water blade at the barrier. "Bashii!!!" It was repelled.

Hoho… It's that strong?

In that case, let's try out the [Paralysis Breath] and [Noxious Breath].

That experiment showed that the skill uses up a lot of magical energy.

With the energy I left with the clone, the barrier withstood [Paralysis Breath] without taking any damage, but collapsed under [Noxious Breath].

In other words, as long as I supply magical energy, the barrier will hold.

Then, I created a clone with considerable amount of magical energy, and set up a barrier.

I am planning on trying out the Black Wolf's [Black Lightning] skill.

As a black wolf, it is possible to modify the range and strength of the skill.

Its two long horns are used to alter just that.

Since a slime has no horns, "Use it all!" is how the skill works.

Thus, I set the power to max and the range to a single target… fire!

As for the barrier, I set it to its lowest setting. If the size is small, the consumption should also decrease.

The result,

*Pika! ….. Chudooooooooon!!!*

Not even the dust was left.

It's too dangerous!

So… I guess I can't trust in the barrier all that much.

In the first place, why did he disappear if I have electric current resistance and thermal fluctuation resistance?

Somehow this makes no sense.

Maybe this [Black Lightning] skill is actually a special skill ranked about extra skills.

But man this sent a chill down my back.

"Good thing I didn't carelessly try it on myself!" Such were my honest thoughts.

However, the fact that I need to mimic a black wolf to use this skill greatly limits its applicability.

Then, I mimicked the flame giant, and tried to use [Fire State] again.

The result was that I changed into a 2000 degree cloud. But, as expected, the heat dissipates too quickly if I don't maintain the barrier.

This skill, too, highly depends on the situation.

By the way, when I use it with the barrier, [Fire State] is an amazing skill.

As expected of an A rank (+?).

That is, [Freya Sphere] is a combination of the barrier and fire state that burns the opponent from the inside; in other words, any living thing that breathes air will surely perish.

My affinity against the opponent was really good!

As for how to use the skill, I'll consider that later.

Now with respect to extra skill [Fire Manipulation].

I can't seem to explode things like Shizu-san did. What the trick could be, I don't know…

Light a fire at my finger tip, throw fire from the palm of my hand–such party tricks are easy.

Also, I managed to gather heat in my hand and radiate it, thus creating a Fire Blaster.

And wait, if I gather the heat, the power increases.

I mean, normally, fire is at about 200 degrees Celsius. If I gather it, it rises to 1600 degrees.

Now, just like with "Water Blade", I just need to shoot out this magical energy.

It struck my target at 10 meters away with a temperature surpassing 1400 degrees. This splendid skill I decided to call "Flame Bullet".

Looks just like a certain alien's finisher, finger beam.

Also, I can probably just create a fireball in my hand and burn my opponents.

Would I do something as dangerous as grabbing someone's head and threatening to burn them? Yeah, I probably would.

Additionally, since it seems I can further raise the temperature with practice, I should continue doing so until I can manage an explosion.

After all, unlike monsters' skills, it's practice makes perfect here.

Now then, regarding the last new skill.

That is, [Shapeshifter].

That name sounds too much like shoplifter… how unpleasant.

I won't be awakening to any criminal tendencies, will I…

Not that I even fall asleep.

Anyways, let's try out the skill.

But, I have absolutely no idea how to do that.

At a time like this, [Great Sage] saves the day! Sensei! Please!!!

<<Solution. The effects of Unique Skill [Shapeshifter]

Fusion: The ability to merge into a single being with the targeted fellow.

Division: The ability to separate oneself and the being possessing you.

(If the target who is being separated lacks a physical form, they could disappear)

These two abilities are yours to wield.>>

I see.

So Shizu-san's devil appearance was the result of this unique skill, huh?

Just my first impressions, but wouldn't this skill mix well with mine?

Although this slime body doesn't sweat, I certainly felt cold sweat at that thought.

This is essentially the first step in understanding an opponents abilities. But, more importantly, can't I use this to erase their skills?

<<Solution. Skills engraved upon the soul can neither be separated nor destroyed.>>

Sadly, it wasn't that omnipotent.

But, I am certain that it will mix well with my skills.

For example, could I combine with the monsters I mimic?

Shizu-san had combined with the Ifrit who resided in her consciousness, could I also become a devil this way?

Devil transformation should be something like overwriting original body's abilities with the desired one.

Perhaps as an option, I can also change my physical appearance.

Thus, I try to imagine it.

To overlay the Flame Giants abilities on top of the slime.

I wasn't planning on anything gaudy, but had my face raise its temperature to 200 degrees.

Seems like I can now use [Fire State] even in this form.

Upon activating that skill, my aura had become that of a flame. My "facial" temperature also rose over 1400 degrees.

Seems like this could be used as a weapon now.

If I am ever captured, I could probably use this to escape.

Thus, I tried fusing with every monster I had eaten thus far.

The spider gave me white spots.

As a centipede, I grew fangs. Gross.

The lizard had me grow scales.

The bat… made me sprout demon like wings. A slime with demon's wings. Looks pretty cool actually.

As the black wolf, I turned black and grew two horns. Horns like those of a unicorn.

But because I can't see, I actually still worry about where exactly the horns are placed.

Next, the black snake. My body was covered in a gold pattern.

Now, even as a slime, I can fully use every skill.

As for the visual…

Now, could I fuse multiple times?

The answer, yes. However, no more than twice.

I could not manage a third. However, most of the monster's skills do not require fusion.

Even if the potency of the skill decreases, as long as I can actually use it, I don't see much of a problem.

The skills I actually need to transform for are… [Fire State], and [Black Lighting]–just them.

Although not a skill, I do need to mimic the bat in order to use its flight abilities. I can grow flightless wings, however.

Therefore, flame Giant, Black Wolf, or Giant Bat–choose two of these according to the situation at hand; that will probably become the basic strategy from now on.

Well, as long as their abilities are useful, of course.

By the way, if I try to fuse while mimicking…

I can mix a total of three bodies.

Thus, I've become a chimera. Thank you very much…

No, actually, the intimidating power of the monsters doesn't change all that much.

The black wolf and snake are, after all, the most dangerous of the ones I have.

Whichever I use as a base, the power doesn't change much, but the black wolf is a far superior base due to an inherently higher speed.

So when I'm in a real pinch, I'll be depending on him as usual.

How, then, do the abilities change when the base is human? Was my next thought.

Human's form primary merit is the ability to equip things.

Whereas any monster and magic beast I mimic will inadvertently be lacking equipment.

Further, there are certainly powerful skills to be used while in human forms.

But for now, let me discuss the visual changes,

Flame Giant: My hair and eyes turned crimson.

Black Wolf: My hair turned black, with two cowlicks sticking out… where are the ears and tail, damn it!!!

Black Serpent: My eyes turned green and snake like. Hands and feet became covered in scales and grew claws.

Giant Bat: I grew demon wings.

The skills I cannot use without mimicking are the same as before.

So if I obtain some cursed swords in the future, this appearance may become the norm for combat.

Now that I think about it, I should probably try making one of those.

If anything, I can fuse with inorganic substances as well.

What would that mean? Probably gaining special attributes and abilities inherent to the weapon or something.

While this is certainly something I would like to test out, I really don't know anything about this topic.

Besides, to defeat the demon lord, shouldn't I be searching for some holy sword?

Well, when I enter some kingdom, I'll look around.

… I completely forgot to test out my resistances.

First to note, along with extra skill [Flame Manipulation] I had acquired Fire Attack Resistance.

But even so, surely if I were thrown into the sun I'd burn and die.

Thus, the question is how much can I resist? This, I just have to test with my own abilities.

Up until now, I feared receiving damages, and avoided such practice, but I am a different slime today!

Just as I had considered while testing [Black Lightning] before, it's time to experiment on my own body.

I have to find out just how much damage I can endure.

Though I worry slightly, this experiment is absolutely crucial.

I create a clone and control him. Of course, as a slime. If I did this while looking like a child, what would the readers think?!

The current clone looks like a child, but I can also make one of a slime.

Furthermore, if I get used to this, it seems like I can also replicate the equipment I wore at the time of cloning.

The cloning skill is only limited as far as your unique skills allow.

First, [Great Sage]

As long as the user is within a kilometer radius, a clone can be created.

Should the user go beyond that limit, the consciousness link is severed, and the clone can only respond to basic commands.

Since vision is always shared, and an order can be changed at any time, the clone can be used for long range reconnaissance missions.

Second, [Predator]

The stomach can only release the true body.

A clone can be predated and stored, but cannot be extracted.

However, feedback regarding skills, etc. can be acquired.

Third, [Shapeshifter]

Only one fusion is allowed. Division is unchanged.

Upon extensive research a few limitations were revealed, but the skill remains pretty powerful.

Thus, I sparred a few times with my clone.

The result, "Water Blade" is very powerful.

Black serpent falls after a single attack. Black wolf, after two. The rest you can guess yourself.

"Flame Bullet" is only a beam shot from my fingertips, but terrifyingly powerful.

However, as a piercing attack, the enemies death is not guaranteed. While their head and vitals become their weak points, I have to hit those first.

For example, although I had shot through the snake's head, it did not fall. Had I let my guard down, I might have been defeated.

Thus, although it's stronger than "Water Blade", it's harder to kill with.

I had accepted this point too easily.

The strongest skill is [Black Lightning]

The strongest pair is [Black Wolf and Flame Giant]–the clone didn't immediately die with barrier and fire state invoked.

Rather, I have to say that I somehow managed to defeat it.

Perhaps its best to think of fire state as a defensive rather offensive skill.

Even so, other than the strongest combination, no skills found thus far can defend against it.

Furthermore, while mimicking, if enough damage is received, I return back to normal; however, the damage incurred is not transmitted to the true body.

Thus, if I die from a single attack, it can properly be called an overkill.

And thus, I've obtained various data.

The rest can be verified via [Great Sage]'s simulations.

Taking on the appearance of a child, I begin to leave.

Along the way, I encountered a centipede… who quickly ran away at the sight of me.

Fufufu. My presence has finally been recognized.

Although to the eyes I look just like a child!
