Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 26: New Abilities

Well then, now that I've obtained a human body, I can't walk with "feather" forever!

So I asked for a set of clothes to make.

While the mucus body is certainly comfortable, it has a fatal weakness to it.

And the lack of that is the lack of equipment. That is, other than some special magic items, I cannot complete anything.

Not that I feel cold or anything, but I want extra defense.

Equipment that can protect me from at least one blow.

In addition, the dwarves had made many articles with materials that the goblins had hunted.

First and foremost, I will prepare a set of children's clothing.

So, I went to the dwarves.

Or rather, to the stitching log cabin that just finished.

The oldest dwarf Garm is busy ordering the girls (Goblin), and supervising the production.

"Yes! Garm-kun's chat. There are some clothes that I want you to make me! 」

「... Danna. What the hell are you saying? How do you plan to wear it? You can't use the equipment, can you? 」

「Fufufu. Haha, haaaahahahaha! Don't look down on me!

You think it's my "can't wear anything" yeah! All right, not anymore! Haaaaaaaa !!! 」

「Ap ... what is !!! Danna's body is growing. A little boy, huh? 」

Ch Cih's. No surprise, uh. Oh well. I can be an adult, but I want you to make some clothes for this form! 」

「O. . good . We will start by measuring your size! Hey, Haruna. I'm handing Danna's measurements to you. 」

I was measured by one of the tailors, Haruna.

Of course, even though I am naked, I am not ashamed. Because there's nothing there …

"I! How cute are you, Rimuru-sama! Cute

Haruna said while recording my size.

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

Having to say, I was surprised that monsters even had aesthetic tastes.

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

I'm goin.

If I want to try a new skill peacefully, it is best that there is no one around.

After informing Rigurdo of my absence, I ordered everyone to stay away.

And, through the city center, I headed to the cave.

Where I met Veldora.

The underground cave was vast, unnaturally dense, and, most importantly, uninhabited.

The cave monster moved away from fear.

Now, let's start testing this.

I have, a unique skill [Shapeshifter], an 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.

The Fire Nation, yes. Will not be activated as mucus.

Chances are, this skill is only active under certain conditions.

As for the Boundary Area, I can use it. But, I don't understand.

So the point is to seal the heat energy inside the barrier and prevent it from leaking, huh?

But if I can activate this skill, why can't I use [Fire State]. Didn't I just get a barrier?

Fine .

In the first place, the main strength of this skill seemed to be in trapping the opponent. Pretty versatile skill, isn't it?

The maximum limit of the limit is 100 meters, formed into half a sphere. Not growing underground.

The smallest I could get was just enough to cover my body. The effect has not changed. Only the size does it.

That's power?

I made a clone above the limit I attached.

Then, I shot a water knife into the barrier. "Bashii !!!" That's overruled.

Hoho .. Is it that strong?

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

The experiment showed that the skill consumed a lot of magical energy.

With the energy I left behind with the clones, the barrier survived [Paralysis Breath] without receiving any damage, but collapsed under [Noxious Breath].

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

Then, I made a clone with considerable magical energy, and made a barrier.

I plan on trying the Black Lightning Black Wolf skill.

As a black wolf, it was possible to change the range and strength of the skill.

Two long horns were used to change that.

Since slime has no horns, “Wear everything!” This is how the skill works.

So, I set the power to the max and the range to one target .. fire!

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

Outcome,

* Pica! … . Chudoooooooo !!! *

Not even dust left behind.

That's too dangerous!

So ... I don't think I can trust that barrier too much.

First of all, why would he disappear if I had electrical current resistance and thermal fluctuation resistance?

Somehow this doesn't make sense.

Perhaps this [Black Lightning] skill was actually a special skill ranked on additional skills.

But this guy sent a cold on my back.

"I'm glad I didn't try it myself!" That's my honest mind.

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

Then, I imitated the fire giant, and tried to use the [Fire Country] again.

The result was that I turned into a 2000-degree cloud. But, as expected, the heat dissipated too quickly if I did not maintain the barrier.

This skill also depends a lot on the situation.

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

As expected of rank A (+?).

Namely, the [Freya Sphere] was a combination of barrier and fire that burned the opponent from within; in other words, any living thing that breathed in air would definitely perish.

My affinity towards opponents is really good!

As for how to use the skill, I will consider it later.

Now with regards to the additional skill [Fire Manipulation].

It seems like I can't blow things up like Shizu-san. What's the trick, I don't know …

Light a fire at my fingertips, throw fire from my palm – such party tricks easy.

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

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

I mean, normally, the fire is at about 200 degrees Celsius. If I collect it, it goes up to 1600 degrees.

Now, just like with the "Water Blade", I just need to fire this magical energy.

It hit my target at a distance of 10 meters with temperatures exceeding 1,400 degrees. This amazing skill I decided to call "Flame Bullet".

Looks like an alien finisher, a finger beam.

Also, I might be able to make a fireball in my hand and burn my opponent.

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

Moreover, since it seems like I can further increase the temperature with practice, I have to keep doing it until I can manage the explosion.

After all, unlike monster skills, the training was perfect here.

Well, regarding the last new skill.

Namely, [Shapeshifter].

The name sounds too much like a shoplifter.

I will not be aware of criminal tendencies, whether I am …

Not that I'm even asleep.

By the way, let's try the skill.

But I have absolutely no idea how to do that.

In a time like this, [The Great Sage] saved the day! Sensei! Please!!!

＜＜ Solutions. Unique Skill Effect [Shapeshifter]

Fusion: The ability to merge into one with a targeted fellow.

Division: The ability to separate yourself and your being.

(If the separated targets have no physical shape, they can disappear)

These two abilities are yours to use. ＞＞

I saw .

So the appearance of the demon Shizu-san is the result of this unique skill, huh?

Just my first impression, but doesn't this skill match mine?

Although this slime body did not sweat, I definitely felt a cold sweat on that thought.

＜＜ Solutions. Skills engraved on the soul cannot be separated or destroyed. ＞＞

Unfortunately, it's not almighty.

But, I'm sure it will mix with my skills.

For example, can I combine with the monsters I emulated?

Shizu-san has joined Ifrit who lives in his consciousness, can I also become a demon in this way?

The transformation of the demons should be like overwriting the abilities of the original body with the desired.

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

So I try to imagine it.

To cover the abilities of the Flame Giants above the slime.

I wasn't planning anything flashy, but my face raised the temperature to 200 degrees.

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

After activating the skill, my aura became like a flame. My "face" temperature also rose by more than 1400 degrees.

It seems like it can be used as a weapon now.

If I was ever arrested, I might be able to use this to escape.

So, I tried to fuse with every monster I had eaten so far.

The spider gave me white spots.

As a centipede, I grew fangs. Dingy

That lizard made me grow scales.

That bat .. made me grow demons like wings. Mucus with demon wings. It looks really cool actually.

As a black wolf, I became black and grew two horns. Horn like unicorn horn.

But since I could not see, I was actually still worried about where exactly the horn was placed.

Next, the black snake. My body was covered with a golden pattern.

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

The visual …

Now, can I melt a few times?

Answer, yes. However, no more than twice.

I can't manage the third one. However, most monster skills do not require fusion.

Even if the skill potential decreases, as long as I can actually use it, I don't see much trouble.

The skills that I really need to change are .. [Fire Country], and [Black Lighting] –just them.

Although not a skill, I had to mimic a bat in order to use its flying ability. I can grow wings that can't fly.

Therefore, turn on Giant, Black Wolf, or Giant Bat – choose two of them according to the situation at hand; which will probably be the basic strategy from now on.

Yes, as long as their abilities are beneficial, of course.

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

I can mix a total of three bodies.

I became a chimera. Thank you very much…

No, actually, the intimidating power of monsters did not change much.

After all, black wolves and snakes are the most dangerous of all I have.

Whatever I used as a base, its strength did not change much, but the black wolf was a far superior base due to its inherently higher speed.

So when I am in an emergency, I will depend on it as usual.

Then, how does the ability change when the base is human? That's my next thought.

The main advantage of human form is the ability to complete something.

Whereas the monsters and magic monsters I emulated would inadvertently lack equipment.

Furthermore, there are of course strong skills to use when in human form.

But for now, let me discuss the visual changes,

Flame Giant: My hair and eyes turn red.

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

Black Snake: My eyes turn green and snake-like. Hands and feet covered in scales and grew claws.

Giant Bat: I grow demon wings.

Skills that I cannot use without imitating are the same as before.

So if I get a cursed sword in the future, this appearance could become the norm for fighting.

Now that I think about it, I should probably try to make one of them.

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

What does that mean? It might gain special attributes and abilities attached to a weapon or something.

Although this is something I want to test, I really don't know anything about this topic.

Besides, in order to defeat the demon lord, shouldn't I look for the holy sword?

Well, when I enter some kingdoms, I will take a look around.

… I completely forgot to test my resistance.

First to watch, along with the extra skill [Fire Manipulation] I have obtained Fire Attack Resistance.

But even so, of course if I was thrown into the sun I would burn and die.

So the question is how much can I refuse? This, I just need to test with my own abilities.

Up until now, I was afraid of receiving damage, and avoided such exercises, but I am a different slime today!

Just as I considered when testing [Black Lightning] earlier, it was time to experiment on my own body.

I have to figure out how much damage I can bear.

Although I was a little worried, this experiment was very important.

I made a clone and controlled it. Of course, like slime. If I did this while looking like a child, what would the reader think ?!

The current clone looks like a child, but I can also make mucus.

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

Cloning skills are only limited as far as your unique skills allow.

First, [The Big Page]

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

If the user goes beyond that limit, the link of consciousness is severed, and the clone can only respond to basic commands.

Because vision is always shared, and commands can be changed at any time, clones can be used for long-distance reconnaissance missions.

Second, [Predator]

The stomach can only release the actual body.

Clones can be initiated and stored, but cannot be extracted.

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

Third, [Shapeshifter]

Only one fusion is allowed. Division has not changed.

After extensive research some limitations were revealed, but the skills remained quite strong.

So, I argued several times with my clone.

As a result, the "Water knife" was very powerful.

The black snake fell after one strike. Black wolf, after two. The rest you can guess for yourself.

"Flame Bullet" was just a shot from my fingertips, but it was very powerful.

However, as a stabbing attack, the enemy's death is not guaranteed. While their heads and vitals became their weak points, I had to hit them first.

For example, even though I had shot the snake in the head, it did not fall. Had I let my guard down, I might have been defeated.

Thus, although it was stronger than the "Water Blade", it was harder to kill.

I have received this point too easily.

The strongest skill was [Black Lightning]

The strongest pair was [Black Wolf and Fire Giant] – clones did not die immediately with the barrier and fire conditions called out.

Instead, I must say that I somehow managed to defeat him.

It might be best to think of the fire state as a defensive and offensive skill.

Even so, other than the strongest combination, so far no skill can defend against it.

Further, while imitating, if enough damage is received, I return to normal; however, the damage done is not transmitted to the actual body.

So, if I were to die from a single attack, it could be called an overkill.

And thus, I have obtained various data.

The rest can be verified through the simulation [Great Page].

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

Along the way, I met a centipede .. who quickly escaped upon seeing me.

Fufufu. My presence was finally acknowledged.

To my eyes I look like a child!
