Careful Reincarnation Chat Group

Riguru and Gobda have only just recovered from their wounds, so they probably won't be able to help much. Ranga and I are the only ones able to go to the battlefield right now.

I want Langa to deal with the peach-haired female ogre who can use magic.

"You go and deal with that peach-haired ogre. Things don't seem simple, we need to talk to them.

You can't kill her! She can use magic and is quite tricky, so you just need to trip her up. I'll take care of the rest."

“But, Rimuru-sama, you want to deal with five ogres…”

"No problem. I won't lose."

Hearing what I said, the ogres all showed murderous intent. However, it shouldn't be a big deal.

"——I obey your orders!"

Langa followed my orders and began to run at high speed. The ogres did not intend to let him succeed and dispersed the next moment.

I was thinking about how to deal with these ogres.

It's no exaggeration to think I have a chance of winning. The results of the experiment just now show that I've become quite powerful. Besides, the Flame Giant is already above A-rank, so if I devour it, I should also become A-rank.

On the other hand, I once heard Rigurd say that ogres are only B-B+ at best. The ogres before me seem to be high-level species, perhaps up to A, and their strength should not be underestimated... But I still don't think they are as strong as the Flame Giants.

It would be easy to kill them, but there seems to be a misunderstanding between the two factions.

If they had shown clear hostility, that would have been another matter, but the ogres didn't kill my companions. They misunderstood me, and that's why they refused to listen. Let them calm down first, and then we can communicate properly.

The ogres scattered in order to intercept Langa. I aimed at one of the black-haired ogres and approached him quickly.

My body was incredibly light, allowing me to move freely as I pleased. Even though I had just transformed into a humanoid form, my movements didn't feel uncoordinated.

The difference in eye level isn't a problem either, because my vision can eliminate blind spots thanks to my "magic perception."

The black-haired ogre was shocked when he noticed me approaching, and he faced the enemy with his eyes wide open.

However, this action came too late.

"You should get some sleep too!"

As soon as I finished speaking, my left palm attacked the black-haired ogre.

A small hole appeared on his hand, and mist was sprayed towards the black-haired ogre's surprised face.

This is the "Paralyzing Spray" looted from the Centipede Monster.

I was thinking that maybe this trick could be used when my body could move freely, and it turned out to be really feasible.

——That is my ultimate move of mimicking only the necessary parts of the monster I prey on.

[Great Sage: Announcement. The combined power of the unique skill "Predator"'s mimicry and the unique skill "Mutator"'s integration and separation merge to gain the additional skill "Universal Transformation."]

At the moment of success, I also gained unexpected abilities.

The unique skill "Mutator" has the ability to integrate and separate, so I wondered if it would be possible to reproduce very small parts of each monster?

This time I tested it in actual combat, and the result was even better than I expected.

Because of this ability, I seem to be able to transform into various monsters smoothly.

The convenience doesn't end there. I can select any part of the monster's body and reproduce the appearance of multiple monsters at the same time.

After transforming based on the black wolf and black snake, I look like a synthetic beast, but I can also use humans as the transformation base.

The greatest feature of this ability is that it is not limited to any ability and can be manipulated freely.

In other words, my means of attack have increased significantly.

The black-haired ogre was sprayed all over his body and began to twitch.

Then he fell stiffly to the ground, completely unable to move.

As expected of a B+ centipede monster, it's quite powerful.

However, ogres are no ordinary creatures.

As soon as I knocked down the black-haired ogre, the other two ogres pounced on me at the same time.

The purple-haired female ogre wielded a club as thick as iron, advancing towards me. The blue-haired ogre hid in her shadow, preparing to launch a surprise attack on me.

The two of them worked together seamlessly, their movements expertly executed, but I possessed "magic perception," allowing me to see every move clearly. Veldora had previously said that knowing this technique would prevent sneak attacks, and it seemed he was right.

The purple-haired ogre's neat face, with its narrow, long phoenix eyes, stared at me fiercely. I watched the moment the ogre was about to swing his club, and then I shot out "sticky wire" from my left fingers to bind it layer by layer.

The "Sticky Wire" possessed a sufficient degree of flexibility to contain the Flame Giant's extraordinary strength. Furthermore, thanks to the integration of his unique skill, "Mutator," it became even more resilient. The female ogre was like a moth trapped in the sticky wire, unable to escape its cage no matter how hard she struggled. Her regular training finally came in handy.

While I was busy bragging about my melons, a knife forced its way in from the corner at my feet. The blue-haired ogre aimed at my heart and stabbed me with the straight blade.

However, I didn't panic. I had already used my "magic perception" to predict the attack and knew how to deal with it. I used my right hand as a shield to block the incoming blade.

The dull sound of metal hitting hard echoed, and the blue-haired ogre's blade snapped. His eyes widened in surprise, and I seized the opportunity to pursue him. I raised my scaly right hand and delivered a direct punch. I activated the armored dragon's "flesh armor," wrapping it from fist to arm.

My fist, hardened as steel, destroyed the blue-haired ogre's breastplate in just a few blows. My fist remained unscathed, paralyzing the blue-haired ogre in one blow.

Furthermore, "Multiple Barriers" is linked to "Physical Attack Resistance," rendering me invulnerable to all physical attacks, rendering my universal skill "Flesh Armor" unnecessary. No big deal, just a precaution.

Okay, three ogres have been successfully paralyzed.

The only ones left were the peach-haired female ogre that Langa had to deal with, the proud red-haired ogre, and the old white-haired ogre standing cautiously somewhere.

"Now you know how powerful I am, right? Are you willing to listen to me?"

"Shut up. I'm even more certain than ever that you're the root of this disaster. The ones who manipulated those evil pig monsters to destroy our homeland must be your companions, right? How could we lose to a mere pig-headed tribe? It must be you demons behind the scenes!"

Hmm? You devils? Scheming behind the scenes? Looks like he's completely mistaken.

So, the pig monsters I mentioned earlier probably refer to orcs. I remember when Rigurd and the others came to ask for my help, they mentioned that orcs and the like were fighting for supremacy in the forest and were always causing minor conflicts...

"Wait, you misunderstood—"

Chapter 338 Chapter 23: Resolving Misunderstandings and Being Overly Touched

Just as I was about to clear up the red-haired ogre's misunderstanding of me, a feeling suddenly emerged from behind me, making my body go cold.

I looked over there, and the white-haired ogre had disappeared. It turned out he had been talking to me so frequently just now to distract me!

I quickly turned, using my right hand to block the blow from behind. He'd fooled my "Magic Perception" and slithered behind me in the blink of an eye, truly surprising me. However, my unique skill, "Great Sage's" "Thinking Acceleration," increased my perception a thousandfold. Despite the spontaneous ogre's lightning-fast strike, I was able to react in the nick of time.

but--

My right hand felt strange. Due to the "pain nullification" effect, I felt no pain, but my hand was completely severed.

This white-haired ogre, despite his age, possessed extraordinary skills. He instantly broke through my "multiple barriers" and "flesh armor."

"Hmm, I'm getting old and slow... I was planning to chop off your head..."

He even said he was getting slow due to age. What a joke! This old body was clearly inferior to the blue-haired and purple-haired ogres, yet its movements were much faster than theirs, without any hesitation.

I was deceived by his appearance before, this guy is very dangerous.

I grabbed the hand he had just cut off and temporarily distanced myself from him.

"Rimuru-sama!"

"I'm fine, don't be distracted!"

Langa was so panicked that he wanted to rush towards me, but I raised my voice to stop him. This was because I knew that the white-haired ogre with murderous aura was very dangerous and Langa was no match for him.

Langa was confused for a moment, but finally decided to trust me. He followed my orders and went back to contain the peach-haired ogre.

"I won't miss the target next time."

The white-haired ogre sheathed his sword and once again assumed the stance of drawing his sword.

Now, we can't underestimate him just because he's old. This white-haired old ogre is an enemy that must be defeated with all our might.

The enemy seemed to be waiting for me to concentrate on dealing with the white-haired ogre, but then I heard "Die! I want to avenge my compatriots!" and a big knife came towards me from the side.

"What? You're done just because you lost a hand! You're certainly strong, but you planned to take on all of us by yourself. That arrogance is the main reason for your failure."

The red-haired ogre hit the nail on the head as he continued to attack me.

This guy's movement was also unique, his speed instantly surpassing my ability to catch him. The sword that slashed towards me had no flaws or hesitation, piercing straight into my vitals.

He considered me a threat and had long since abandoned his naive idea of ​​capturing me alive.

The opponent's master-level cooperation was very difficult. I was careless because of my superior physical abilities, but in reality, I was still a novice in combat. At most, I had only taken compulsory martial arts courses.

They actually took a rookie like me seriously. That's pretty narrow-minded for a seasoned player. But I was the one who first said I had a chance of winning, fanning the flames. It's all my own fault, no one else's fault.

Anyway, whether I had to act like a master and scare them or use some other method, I had to find a way to get through this difficult situation. I kept a good distance from them, avoiding them while thinking.

It was quite a struggle to fight two masters with one hand. So I activated my unique skill "Predator" to eat the hand I just picked up. When I was injured before, I relied on the inherent skill "Auto-regeneration" of "Slime" and the unique skill "

The auxiliary effect of "Predator" repairs the body. This time, it's part of the limbs that were lost, I hope I can replace them...

[Great Sage: Announcement. The unique skill "Predator" Mimicry and the unique skills "Slime" "Dissolve," "Absorb," and "Auto-Regeneration" have been integrated with the unique skill "Mutator," gaining the additional skill "Super-Speed ​​Regeneration." After this integration, the unique skills "Slime" "Dissolve," "Absorb," and "Auto-Regeneration" have disappeared.]

Under my will, a new ability—the additional skill "Super Speed ​​Regeneration"—was born. While this ability required the Slime's inherent skills to disappear, that's no problem. I don't use those skills anyway. I've replaced them all with my unique skill "Predator," so it won't be a problem at all.

I activated my additional skill, "Super Speed ​​Regeneration," and tried to regenerate my right hand. Immediately afterwards, the right hand I had just swallowed began to disintegrate, and in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed by my main body.

After the absorption was complete, my right hand instantly regenerated. My previous recovery ability was incomparable; the regeneration speed was truly astonishing. It truly was "super-speed regeneration."

Right, now's not the time to be surprised. This is a rare opportunity, so I have to show off.

"Haha. Hahahahaha! You think you can beat me just by chopping off one of my hands? How disappointing. But I did underestimate you. Fight a little more seriously."

After saying that, I took off the mask and put it in my arms.

The ogres, confused by my hand's instantaneous recovery, froze at the sight of me without my mask. My hair flew upwards as I released my demonic energy.

They probably smelled some danger in me.

"Monster, I'm going to use all my firepower to take care of you! Burn me to ashes, Ghost King Demon Flame!"

The red-haired ogre launched a fire attack, which seemed to be his ultimate move. This vortex of flames must have been over a thousand degrees Celsius, no, maybe two thousand degrees Celsius, and the flames completely enveloped my body.

however--

"It's useless. This level of fire can't hurt me."

If the target wasn't me, I would have been burned to ashes immediately by the high temperature. However, I had the skill "Nullify Heat Change" to protect me, so the burning didn't hurt at all.

Finding his ultimate move ineffective, the red-haired ogre showed his first hint of fear. However, he immediately suppressed his fear with a strong will and stared at me with a determined look. It looked like he hadn't given up yet. This enemy was quite determined. I really didn't want to kill him. Personally, I hoped he would surrender quickly.

Now is the perfect time to act.

The ogres are wary of me and have held their ground, so I can use my ultimate move to dampen their spirit. If I fail, and they still refuse to listen to me, I will have no choice but to kill them all.

Please admit defeat after reading this, I said to myself, preparing to make the final bet.

"Okay, let me show you real fire."

Before I could finish my words, black flames burst out from my left hand.

Although this is a bit melodramatic, it is the only way to scare your opponent.

"Brother...yeah, that flame...isn't the kind of illusionary magic brother uses!"

The peach-haired female ogre that Langa was responsible for dealing with showed fear when she saw the "black flame".

Apparently, I scared her. So the red-haired ogre transforms demonic energy into flames using sorcery. My flames are generated by demonic power, not technology. No wonder she was scared.

In other words, if they were to watch "Black Thunder"...

"Hehehe, that's right. But I want to show you something more interesting than fire."

After I said this, I let my right hand spit out "black thunder".

I have to scare the shit out of them so they'll listen to me.

There's no need to be polite this time, but using up all the magic energy would be embarrassing.

I adjusted my magic power, releasing only 30% of its power, and injected magic essence to release the "black thunder".

then--

"Look carefully, this is my true strength!"

I yelled and fired a "black thunder" at the big rock that should have exploded.

The voice came back a little later.

The large rock vaporized instantly, leaving not even a speck of ash. The power was comparable to the previous test results, perhaps even greater.
