"I might have an idea" said Shuna
"Souei did you check out our village, as I asked," she said
"Yes, I did." he said with a dark tone.
" I'm guessing it's bad." she said.
" yes I didn't find any of theirs and certainly none of ours." he replied.
" clue me in here. What are you talking about?" I asked
"Corpses." he said.
" we wondered how they were getting supplies for 200,000 orcs."said Benimaru
" are you saying they eat the dead?" I said, creeped out, even though I technically do that with Predator and reanimate them With my mouth it's more as a skill that does it and I'm just absorbing them
" it's a unique skill called Starved" said Trayni
" what does it do?" I asked you having a bad feeling about this
" it's a skill that every orc lord is born with what's the purpose of bringing calamity and ruin to the world it's influence, reaches all who serve under the orc lord it makes them devour everything in sight. It also allows them to gain their victim, strength, and abilities making those powers theirs It's similar to your predator skill, but in return for the starved skill
they have In insatiable hunger, They match onward with one goal in mind, endless hunger, and power that is their only wish." she Explained
" well that's bad Because we're an all You can eat buffet for them cause we have dwarfs hobgoblins, kijin, and Tempest wolves." I said, thinking that even if they manage to eat, one of us owe me getting over because they would gain our powers.
" aren't you forgetting The main course"said
Benimaru
" I'm pretty sure I got everything?" I said confused
" the world's, most powerful slime, capable of assuming back to dead of anyone who's ever bought him it was also has the building to regenerate at an astonishing speed, has black lightning, and can shape shift"said Benimaru
(oh he's white if they eat a small piece of meat, they're probably getting my powers. Wait a second will they get my solo leveling powers as well)
(answer no they wouldn't cause those powers come from a different realm. They wouldn't be able to copy those but all your skills that you're going to hear are more than accessible for them to have.) said Great Sage
" I guess that Would be a problem they gain my powers" I said aloud
" my people were able to confirm that there is a majin behind the orc lords appearance, I believe that this is someone you would not wish to overlook," she said.
" a majin" I thought loud
(they probably make a good shallow soldier, and if they can speak, they can tell me everything they know.) I said really hoping that he'd be able to speak.
" this person is a subordinate of a demon lord" she said
(demon Lord, like Leon Clayman no it probably not him. They're probably other demon lord I just haven't heard of them yet.)
Trayni Soon stood up and reached her hand out to me.
"Rimuru Tempest once again, I request you defeat the orc Lord as someone who has the protection of Valdora leads the dire wolves and has become the patron of the esteemed kijin and who has the ability to summon back the phone to fight for you it should be easy to take down the orc Lord" she asked
(I mean, do I really have a choice either I take him down before he comes here or he comes here and I'm forced to fight him with him being stronger from taking down the lizard man and possibly another goblin village if there's one nearby.)
" of course the lord Rimuru , is quite capable of taking down the Orc lord"said Shion actually she hugged me from the side
" I see so you accept my request"said Trayni
"Yup" replied Shion
(I was already going to say yes, but don't I at least get to say it before she does it) I thought in my mind) I turned back to my slime, as she caught me
" I'll find a way to feed him, but I'm going to need everyone here to do it" I said
" sure count on us will help."said Shuna as the others agreed to help me fight
" if we're going to get an army of 200,000 orcs then we might wanna consider a alliance with a lizard man after all, but I do not want to talk to that guy again so Souei i'm sending you as an Envoy to tell them we're on the way to help them fight but Tell them to not engage and went to conflict with them if they eat even one of them, they will gain their power but everything depends on them agreeing to the alliance so I'm counting on you."I said to Souei
" I will Leave right now" he said, as he disappeared off to fulfill his mission
he still returned and told me that the lizard chief wish to meet me in seven days. I quickly appeared getting some new clothing that was magic resistant also getting two daggers that perfectly stood in my style as we got everyone else ready before making the journey.
The people on the team are Benimaru, Shion, Hakurou and Souei Who's out scouting ranga of course had to come and so did the goblin riders our towns main attack force I told everyone else to evacuate if anything happened to us
(lord Rimuru do you have a minute?)asked
Souei through Thought communication
(yes is there something wrong?) I asked
(I can't upon someone who appears to be the lizard chief man's daughter. She's currently in a fight with high orcs Should I intervene?) he asked
(I mean, of course, save her, but can you save her?) I asked
(quite easily.) he Replied
(then do it.) I said eventually reach his location where several doesn't orc bodies are lying across the ground.
" she has been injured" he said, holding the lizard girl
" OK I'm on." I said, dropping the potion on her healing her of her wounds as she woke up.
" what my wound I was certain it was fatal who are you?" she asked, looking at me
" I am Rimuru Tempest" I said surprisingly she bowed on all fours
" please I need your help will you save my father, the lizard man chief as well as my brother gabiru their engrave danger." she said.
" wait you're his sister you're so polite compared to him but anyway, what happened?" I asked
" my brother, led a rebellion and impressed my father and I and make matters worse he and his men are attempted to fight the orc army but he's underestimated the or lord, and if we don't like quickly, the Lizard man will be exterminated."
" if he imprisoned you, how did you get out?" I asked
" when the guards wasn't Looking my father helped me escape. He told me to warn you. I know this is a selfish Request, especially after we broke our promise to wait for you a powerful maijin such as self can surely help i'll do anything you want I'm begging you to save my people." she said.
" it's very good sign that you recognize our Lords power. It shouldn't be too much of a problem for him to help. Save your people." she said, Ashley helped her stand up as she quickly started, thinking her and us.
(she just had accepted work on my behalf again she's definitely a secretary) I thought in my mind
after that, I'm eating alliance between her and myself as we hopped on the wolves and headed towards the swamp I told Souei
To go ahead and free the lizard, chief man
Once we got there, we saw that gabiru was about to die and got to saved him
" who are you?" he asked
" that's Gupta, the leader of the goblin riders"said ranga I was right next to him
"You're that direwolf" he said
" my name is ranga my master Rimuru told me to come and help you" he said
" I don't know who you newcomers are, but he seemed in my way he will be destroyed." said the general as a black fire explosion went off behind him soon civil others began going off, destroying Hoards of orcs.
" it looks like it's starting" said Gupta
Near where those explosion went off the smoke being clear and a Revealing three figures
" who are you?" asked a random orc
" you forgotten us? How rude and after you went and devoured our whole village."said
Benimaru
As the smoke cleared, revealing the three of them
" those horns are you ogres?" the soldier asked
" us no is that why you can't remember us." he said as a black Flame appeared in his hand
" the time has finally come." said Hakurou about to unshield his blade
" yes and we have Lord Rimuru to think"said Shion as she held her massive sword
" i'll see this one more time move all the way before you die in agonizing death."said Benimaru no saying they weren't going to move he threw the fireball at them, causing another massive fire explosion
above, I observed all the carnage go I was with my shadow soldiers. They were tearing through their wings easily. I'm not sure they stayed away from any fireballs that Benimaru throughout and while I was at it, I also revived them as my shadow soldiers getting more my army
soon, however, the cloud started changing as a tornado came down, created by none other than ranga
(this is Death storm skill from the being ranga) said great sage
sliding this information to the back of my mind, I revived all the ones who had died, including the general making him a powerful shadow
and they went on to kill their former opinions as I Revived any soldiers that were killed eventually, the army shrunk significantly while mine continued to grow
(you are starting to deplete on Magicules) we reminded great sage
I quickly took a mana Recovery potion I made plenty of these before the trip just in case and my Magicules soon became higher than they were previously.
I learned that whenever I summon a shadow, my power increases to handle them, but they depending on a how many are active while I'm doing this will determine how long my power will last.
