His ability is very tricky, but his sensing ability can correctly grasp the distribution of thermal energy.

Even if the Flame Giant created multiple clones that attacked simultaneously, Rimuru could judge the danger by the temperature of the flames and easily counter them. He had already seen that not all Titans had the same abilities.

The Flame Giant would definitely not be able to hit it successfully.

Conversely, Rimuru's attacks had no effect on the Flame Giant.

Because those flames are tough.

The ground has turned to lava. The temperature must be very high.

It was impossible to get close in that heat.

Basically, the maximum effective range of moves like "Paralysis Spray" and "Poison Spray" is ten meters. In other words, to spray the Flame Giant, you have to be at least ten meters away...

Looking for an attack method that can keep distance for safety while causing damage to the Flame Giant, the only one that I just learned, the "Water Ice Magic Spear", meets the requirements.

"Watch out, the Water Ice Demonic Spear!"

He fired several giant icicles, vaporizing the Flame Giant's clones. "Evaporating with ice" might sound strange, but since heat energy is cooled and emits steam, "evaporation" is the most appropriate description. Rimuru pressed on, turning the clones into vapor one after another.

but--

By the time Rimuru cried out inwardly, “Not good!”, it was already too late. The moment this intuition flashed through his mind, he was imprisoned.

This is the special ability of the Flame Giant, a large-scale capture barrier!

He skipped the magic chant and the magic circle was created in the blink of an eye.

The enemy vaporized his body, filling an area with a diameter of 100 meters with ultra-high temperature flames and heat.

This should be the Flame Giant's strongest fire-attribute area attack. Furthermore, the energy of the clone that was just destroyed also filled the entire area—

"Flame Explosion Prison Formation."

A voice was heard, which was indistinguishable from male or female, old or young.

Now - there's nowhere to escape.

Having been tricked by the enemy, the Flame Giant deliberately let Rimuru attack the clone.

In order to confuse the audience, the barrier was filled with energy.

Ah… Rimuru didn’t think he was careless, but he should have had other options. He was being manipulated by the enemy. How miserable.

"You're still not being cautious enough. Wouldn't it be better to just use your ultimate move to beat it up and then whip its corpse?"

"Hey, hey, hey, that's Miss Jing..."

Having said that, Rimuru said that at that time, it had already made up its mind to die.

Chapter 336 Chapter 21 The End of Inheritance

"And then what? You died? So now you're actually a second reincarnation? You were reincarnated from a slime into a girl? Great! I think this could be the subject of a novel."

Qiu Wenjian was listening to the original story with great interest, but was given a cold look by Limulu.

"Stop talking nonsense and listen to me."

Why didn't Rimuru burn to death?

[Great Sage: ...Answer. "Heat Fluctuation Resistance" takes effect, automatically negating flame attacks.]

What the hell, have you forgotten that you have "heat change resistance"!

——That’s what Rimuru heard.

Rimuru responded in his mind with shame and anger, "Shut up at this time, no one will think you are dumb! Idiot!"

Then, the Great Sage seemed to respond to Rimuru’s scolding with “…”

"I must be overthinking it. That's the Great Sage who's always been honest with me and has no self-consciousness. My skills? Why would he respond to me like that?"

"No, I often chat with my clones. And my stand, Killer Queen Requiem, is also transformed from my psychic ability and has self-awareness... So, maybe your Great Sage also... Hey, don't look at me with such strange eyes!"

Rimuru's expression, as if to say, "Talking to himself, how pitiful...", stopped Qiu Wenjian from complaining.

If you don't want to listen, forget it. Teacher Ciel, who will evolve into the King of Wisdom in the future, will let Rimuru know who is the queen.

Back to the topic (it doesn't seem to be the main topic, but Qiu Wenjian saw that Rimuru was very excited to tell him about his experiences in this world, so Qiu Wenjian didn't interrupt)

Fire attacks are negated.

First pretend to be dead in front of the enemy and say "I'm dead!", then trick him.

The plan goes through!

……

perhaps.

Rimuru pretended to be like this and planned to end this battle quickly.

"You were punching the air, weren't you?"

Rimuru secretly used "sticky wire" to wrap the Flame Giant, and he had already analyzed it with the Great Sage.

He uses stillness as the core of his being.

If he were a complete spirit like the fire lizard, it would be impossible to capture him with silk, but it would be a different story if he had a "basic core".

"Sticky Wire" combines the properties of both "Sticky Wire" and "Steel Wire," a result of Rimuru's extensive research. Another unique feature is that it inherits my resistance.

That is, it cannot be burned by fire.

Victory.

"Next, it's my turn!"

The Flame Giant fled in panic.

Rimuru had anticipated this long ago. The "sticky wire" had already entangled him, making it impossible for him to escape.

Rimuru slowly approached, aiming to deliver the final blow to this guy.

[Great Sage: Do you want to use your unique skill "Predator"? YES/NO]

The answer is of course YES!

It was enveloped by a dazzling light and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

After the light disappeared, only I and an old lady were left at the scene.

It seemed like she didn't have much time left and might not wake up.

Despite this, as a fellow villager, he still took care of her until the last moment.

The three adventurers who had just been injured were full of energy. They were still shouting, "With such serious injuries, the danger level is not enough for me!"

"What's going on? There's no burn marks at all...and the skin is smooth and crystal clear!"

"Too strong... With injuries like that, I thought I'd have to lie down for a week..."

"Scared me to death. This is a very potent recovery potion."

In this way, there was no problem with the injuries, and the recovery medicine given by Rimuru allowed them to recover as before.

"But, wouldn't that mean... we can't get the Danger Plus?"

"Yeah. No one would believe it if I told them..."

"That's true... but it's better than getting hurt!"

The trio began to discuss money.

These guys are really thick-skinned.

Seeing that they showed no signs of looking down on monsters, Rimuru said that he wanted to visit their town after everything was over, but—

"If you want to go, I can talk to the branch president for you, okay?"

——This is their answer.

After receiving a positive response, Rimuru asked them to help convey the message.

It understands the life of an adventurer very well.

Cabal promised Rimuru that he would help him, and when the time comes, just mention Rimuru's name and the Free Guild branch president will know about it.

They are indeed good people. They are even waiting for Jing's reaction and worried about her safety.

A week passed.

Jing finally woke up.

"Here is—oh, I'm sorry to bother you."

She seemed to be conscious.

Even if he becomes a demon, his memories are still vivid.

"I had a dream... The content of the dream was nostalgic. I dreamed... of my hometown, a town I can no longer return to—"

Are you talking about Japan?

"Excuse me, Mr. Slime. What's your name?"

Didn’t I say my name was Rimuru before... Is she suffering from Alzheimer’s?

"My name is Rimuru."

As soon as it answered, Jing closed her eyes thoughtfully.

"Can you tell me your real name?"

The other party asked me this.

"My name is Mikami Satoru."

This is Rimuru's real name, which he never said even when chatting with Storm Dragon and Hilichook.

"Let's be honest, Rimuru, do you know someone named Suzuki Satoru?"

"I don't know him. I have a junior named Suzuki. What's wrong?"

"No, nothing much. I just thought it had a strange origin."

In Qiu Wenjian's first world, Overlord, it seems that before Bone King crossed over, he was called Suzuki Satoru...

I remember that the junior who was saved by Mikami Satoru named his child Satoru in memory of his predecessor.

Perhaps this is a tribute. Qiu Wenjian did not feel any similarities between this world and the Bone King world.

anyway.

After knowing Rimuru's name, Jing asked Rimuru for help as a fellow villager.

She was silent for a moment, then—

"Mr. Slime... No, Mr. Wu. I have a request, I wonder if you are willing to accept it?"

"What request?"

What a lousy wish it must be.

But Rimuru has decided to take care of her until the last moment, so just agree to her request.

"Please eat me..."

What? Is this old lady okay? What nonsense is she talking about?

"The curse on me... can you eat it...? I'd be happy to let you eat it... I really want to go to the guy who cursed me and complain to him, but I can't do it anymore... This is my last wish - can you let me sleep forever inside you?"

She finished speaking quietly.

Those eyes were filled with resentment——and they confused Rimuru’s heart.

Brutal and cruel...

"I hate this world. But I don't hate it. Just like that man... Maybe I've made this world overlap with that man... So, I don't want to be a part of this world. Please, eat me..."

Humph. What kind of wish is this? It's too easy for Rimuru.
