Chapter 111: Against Wind Slimes! 2

Before a dragon, what are slimes but meals? And thankfully, I have not encountered a reincarnated slime, so it's all good.

Eh? Arrogant? Quite so. It is no fun if you're not arrogant against things you can easily kill like these…

It would all become dull and repet.i.tive… So we spice things up by acting arrogant!

Not like the slimes would complain, they can't speak after all.

I quickly slurped the entire Wind Slime Legion, which seemed to be actually made by a unique Wind Slime with the Legion Skill, which fused itself with many of its kin to become big and powerful.

It was slimy and rather cold, like eating jelly… It had a mild taste like lemon but was not really sweet. The lemon-like flavor must have been the acidic juices inside the slime.

Ding!

Oh? More Skills… Well, I just ate a lot of Wind Slimes with a single slurp…

Though I didn't get the cooler stuff such as Wind Absorption, or Slime Body… But at least I got these ones, which sound just as interesting.

[Entanglement: Level 1]

Entangle a foe with your body, inhibiting their movement. Deals damage over time, damage calculated by Strength Stat.

[Legion: Level 1]

Grants the ability to fuse with willing and compatible beings to enhance one's total power, new abilities can be learned and used temporarily, constantly consume mana, vitality, and soul energy. The higher the level the more it can be kept fused.

[Conceal Presence: Level 1]

Conceal your presence through the use of magic, a greater version of Stealth. The higher the level the more effective it is, enhanced by Dexterity stat.

[Wind Camouflaging Coat: Level 1]

Conceal yourself with transparent winds that camouflage your presence in the skies. The higher the level the more effective it is, enhanced by Dexterity stat.

…

Wah… Those Skills look way too good to be true!

Legion in specific could let me fuse with living beings? So I can fuse with the wolves? What about Benladann? Can we all become a super chimera with this? Well, maybe it would feel weird to do so…

Well, there wasn't much time to see what else I could do, as I went back to battle.

More Wind Slimes began to approach, disregarding the fear I caused to them, but Skadi quickly killed most of the ones that flew towards me, while the ones trying to a.s.sault Fuyu were meet with a rain of ice projectiles and mold tentacles.

I quickly activated Paranormal Senses, which gave me the view of something I wasn't able to see naturally…

Souls!

The souls of all the slimes floated around, they resembled ethereal ma.s.ses that barely moved, after dying their souls barely had any emotion or will, it seemed that as merely magical creatures, when they died, their souls didn't become active such as ghosts, but like mere bacteria floating in the air, seeking somewhere to go.

I don't know how it works in this world, but Benladann had said something about Helheim being the place where most souls would go after death, so perhaps there could be something like a Transmigration Cycle that takes care of these souls after some time of dying?

If that's the case, I have to hurry up before they get absorbed by this hypothetical case, and devour them!

Yes, you heard me right!

One of the methods to strengthen one's soul was by… devouring other souls.

I know it sounds merciless, ruthless, and quite terrifying, but I don't really care.

Especially because these slime souls that lack any ego wouldn't be missed by anyone…

Without further ado, I quickly flew through the skies, opening my jaws and eating slimes and souls alike!

The Wind Slimes were so weak that I simply caught them in midair and ate them alongside their souls.

However, some offered resistance nonetheless, but nothing that rain of ice projectiles couldn't do, or my trusty Skadi couldn't crush…

The first time I ate a soul, it felt rather strange. Instead of swallowing it with my throat, I had to eat it with my soul.

It is as if I had to form a new esophagus and stomach inside of my soul, which would take care of eating these things… Devour took care of it rather easily, and I ended strengthening my soul slowly bit by bit.

The souls had no taste, it was like eating air… but I suppose that if they grow in quality there might be some taste on it.

By eating souls, my soul gained more and more ma.s.s, and it got bigger and stronger by a bit.

I made of this swarm of Wind Slimes my entire meal, as the minutes and hours went by, the Wind Slimes began to deplete quite fast, and I continued to feast on their souls rather eagerly.

Until then, the boss appeared… a big Storm Slime King which was hiding using Conceal Presence, although I had noticed it, this Slime was ordering the other Slimes to attack disregarding their sense of self-preservation, which was actually a good thing because my presence is too terrifying for them to get closer to me naturally, so making them stupid so I can eat them swiftly was a good thing, because of this, I left the King alone for the time being.

But now that it came straight towards me while summoning a giant storm of slicing emerald winds all around its slimy body, I knew it wanted to pick a fight.

I quickly a.n.a.lyzed its stats and flew directly towards it.
