Another hour passed, and finally, my mana was full. Without delay, I named the blue slime Aqua and the brown one Sepia.
Now, considering divisions, I realized it was unnecessary at this stage, as they still lacked significant intelligence.
"Well, might as well finish this," I thought as I gazed at them.
All of them looked at me curiously, particularly after naming Aqua and Sepia. I instructed them to stay put, and they obediently did so, their eyes fixed on me.
"Aqua, Sepia, Scarlet, Violet, Emily, please step forward," I commanded.
They all came forward, and I sensed that their intelligence was gradually increasing as their childish emotions started to fade. This change was also noticeable in some of the unnamed slimes around. I dismissed the thought, as the reason for this transformation was obvious.
"You five will play crucial roles in the upcoming war, and we will face it together," I declared, seeking applause from my attentive audience.
With a newfound sense of purpose, Aqua, Sepia, Scarlet, Violet, and Emily stood before me, their slimy forms shaking with anticipation for the war.The other slimes, even the unnamed ones, seemed to sense the gravity of the situation, And as I there king can sense there emotions clearly.
I continued, "Our world faces a grave threat, and it's not just our existence that's at stake, but the balance of all life. The forces we're up against are powerful creatures which we have never ever seen. But worry not we all shall survive and become victorious"
I started saying bullshit. To encourage them. And thankfully it worked.
" And for that we have unit together!. And thus for that reason I will appoint five of You as general's from now on!. Are you willing to take responsibility!!" I increased my tone and looked at them calmly.
The five of there body shuddered but in next moment strong serious emotions started coming out of them. They nodded and responded in unison. Along with crowd who also saying " we are with you the king" along those lines by sensing there emotions.
" Good good, Now take some rest! We have to become successful in the war no matter what!!"
I said.
They all jumped in union saying " They will!!" . 8 nodded in satisfaction as it turns out more good then he expected.
I got back on my throne and waited them for to leave. As for the slimes they surrounded each of the new appointed general's and started talking.
And after quick chit chat a thing started happening. Which I didn't expected one by one they started closing there hallow eyes. And before I could comprehend all of them closed there eyes.
I somewhat panicked as all of the emotions they were emitting stopped. But then scarlet send me a massage.
" Lord should sleep too" in along those lines.
" Eh sleep? No I told them to rest not sleep!" I was about to say it. But I then realized something there's no need to wake up more the preparation are all have been done. And now I have nothing to do.
I sighed and nodded to scarlet. She nodded her head back and slowly closed her eyes. I gazed at the timer.
[ 13: 23: 05] and looked at my surroundings.
Seeing them peacefully sleeping, I also closed my eyes. " I have been through a lot. I also deserve a sleep" Saying that I closed my eyes.
Time flows by and in the blink of an eye more than ten hours have passed.
[03:11:58]
As for me, I slept peacefully and woke up an hour ago. I didn't disturb them as they needed rest.
I decided to woke them up after half an hour from now.
I carefully left the kings layer and hopped down on the 1st layer to 2nd layer. And swim down all the way through the 3rd layer.
" Heh, swimming feels good no wonder all of them spend so much time there " I thought and drifted along the flowing water.
A couple of minutes passed as I enjoyed the cool water. " Ok it's more then enough, now working time!" I muttered to my self and swim back to the 3rd layer and swim up to the 2nd layer.
I opened the Dungeon lord function and made a small pit hole on the layer. And using the Dungeon lord function I took out some water from the 3rd layer. By making a Pocket with the soil.
" Yosh let's see what will I get from water" I muttered and activated my skill. And hopped down on the pit hole.
Soon my body started reacting and as the skill started smoothing sensation spread through my body. And in couple of seconds I absorbed all of the water. And jumped back up.
And soon enough a notification popped up.
[Ding]
[ Abyssal Absorption: Gained 6 water essence]
I dismissed it and checked the Dungeon lord map.
" 97"
" ahh sigh, I absorbed more then I expected" I muttered and dismissed it. And fouced on the small blue orb in my body.
And just like last time it glowed a bit before disappearing completely and a cool sensation spread through my being.
[ Abbysal Absorption:
+ 4 mana
+ 1 Agility
+ water affinity {0.2} [ locked, will be available after first war ]
I gazed at it carefully. " wow mana!. I got four mana wow nice nice" I thought and opened my status window.

" wow it's really the case my mana increased just by water!"
" I can name three of them. Good good "
I had the urge to absorb some more but I refrained. As who knows it would recover or not. And I would surely get more water right?
" right?" I thought and jumped up to first layer and then to the kings layer. Seeing them sleeping peacefully I didn't wanted them to woke up up. But I know I have too!.
I woke them, They woke up like cute babies. I had the urge to pat them again but I refrained. And decided to name the ones I decided long ago.
Two red slime stood before me I excitement!.
You will be ruby and crimson. Both of them jumped all together in union and directly run towards to scarlet and started talking.
And this time I was really shocked. Seeing scarlet pating down on there heads and through the emotions I clearly sensed she's praising them.
I already noticed they somewhat become intelligent after woking up. But isn't this too much!. I thought.
" sigh, well it's a good news. I shouldn't be this shocked from now on"
Time passed quickly, In the last hours I made them practice the formation again and again and did some minor changes to the formation. And before I know it there only couple of minute left before the along awaited war.
Let's win this," I declared, Everyone jumped in union agreeing with me.And in the blink of an
eye, time flew by.

[ 00:00:01 ]
[ War starting ]
