Wrong, my skills refresh every week

Ciel patted Alpha on the back and put these unknowns behind him for the time being. There was only one thing he could do now:

"Are you ready? Continue to upgrade."

"Oh~!"

……

Lightning flashed, black flames roared, and time passed as Charles continued to stack Q.

After the seventh day, Charles took the initiative to use [Mind Steal] to retain [Dark Sacrifice], and extended the Q stacking time for another two days.

It’s just that Charles forgot that after the skill refreshed, without the super efficient mana recovery provided by [Heat], the speed of stacking Q slowed down a lot.

The final number of monsters on the floor is 2950, ​​and it is estimated that it will exceed before the end.

Also because his mental energy couldn't keep up, he had extra free time, such as searching for food.

The 37th floor is a very deep layer, and it is too dangerous to explore alone when your spirit is at rock bottom.

Whenever Ciel went out, he would take Alfia with him, leaving Alpha and Pochi to look after the house.

The two went out from the other side of the passage, and their main target was the groups of slimes scattered in various rooms.

Slimes also exist in the world of Dicuo.

Their ability values ​​are very low, but they only appear on the 37th floor, usually as trap monsters at the intersections of rooms or at the corners of the ceiling.

They suddenly fall from the ceiling, blocking the adventurers' mouths and noses, spitting out strong acid, and some of them even have strong paralyzing toxins. In short, they are very troublesome.

In the original work, Ryu and Bell were on the 37th floor, and the disgusting thing they used as a solution to satisfy their hunger was slime.

"Countless adventurers have tried this thing, and it tastes terrible." Alfia crossed his arms over his chest, staring at the multiple slime monsters squirming in front of him with disgust.

"Of course we can't eat slime directly." Charles pierced the slime's internal organs with a clean and sharp knife, and easily obtained a soft mucus.

"Even if the magic stone is pierced, every slime will drop mucus. This is the gift of the maze." Ciel took out the recently handmade clay pot from his backpack and filled it with slime gel.

"You know what? It is said that slime is one of the most precious ingredients. First, wash it with orange juice and hot water, then evaporate the water, sprinkle it with salt, and dry it in the sun for several days, and it will become a delicious dish."

Charles waved his fingers and narrated in a serious manner.

Alfia was full of questions: "Who taught you all this knowledge?"

Charles froze, and a bearded dwarf appeared in his mind, laughing awkwardly: "The secret of my hometown..."

To be honest, the reason why Ciel is so interested in slime, besides wanting to experience [Maze Rice] very much, is mainly because of the development ability of [Food Chain].

Speaking of naming, it is more practical to give monsters names rather than humans who are born with names.

Imagine how powerful a slime with [Divine Grace] would be?

This gave Ciel a sense of pleasure, the anticipation of capturing a rare Pokémon.

"I have a mermaid at home, a pet Pochi, and a cute little Moe. I can also win the Tenno Cup."

Alfia didn't understand Ciel's thoughts, but the rare moment of relaxation made her slow down unconsciously.

When Charles killed several yellow and red slimes one after another and collected the edible blue and green parts, when he looked up, he suddenly saw a well-behaved blue butt, trembling and jumping.

"what--"

"Oh, there's one missing."

Charles licked the corner of his mouth and took two steps forward. With a whoosh, he saw the blue butt jump three meters high as if startled, spitting out water with a whoosh, bouncing on the wall and quickly escaping.

"You are still a skilled king! Don't run!"

Chapter 154 I'm Not a Bad Slime

The White Palace was a huge maze that looked like a multi-layered cake, and its area was as large as that of Orario. It was very troublesome just to remember the route and determine the location.

In order to avoid getting lost, Alfia and Ciel usually do not stray too far from their base.

however……

"Why are you so obsessed with a slime?" Alfia followed behind Ciel in confusion.

In front of the passage, a blue water ball was spraying an unknown liquid and quickly fleeing.

Charles, who was following closely behind, ran into trouble.

From the passages on both sides, several wandering skeleton sheep holding bone spears floated over. In order to avoid wasting magic power, he relied on his superb skills to dodge the bone spears and stabbed the spare dagger into the eye sockets of the skeleton sheep.

"Gospel!"

boom--

The shock of sound blows away the monsters that block the way.

Charles turned around unexpectedly: "Huh?"

Alfia looked away. "Aren't we supposed to catch that slime? Run!"

"Okay!" Charles nodded heavily. He couldn't explain it to Alfia yet, but Charles felt that this slime was very special.

I was just thinking about the cute king, could it be that I really met him?

He had a feeling of Ye Gong who loved dragons very much, being both afraid that it was the cute king and looking forward to it being the king.

With a smile on his face, Ciel quickened his pace and even used up his limited energy to release [Lightning Flash]: "Don't run! Stop right there!"

"Eh ...

As a new monster that was just born 10 days ago, she has a secret that cannot be told.

Yes, she had a dream.

It was a story of being eaten alive by humans!

Unlike other stupid people, she seemed smarter and more rational because of the dream, which made her out of place in the tribe and she was often excluded.

When its compatriots are lazily drying in the wind, it is looking for water and food; when its compatriots are about to starve to death and devour each other, it will take the lead and eat its compatriots' magic stones.

She would set traps and ambushes to kill passing werewolves, because skeletons have no lungs and do not need to breathe.

She didn't know where this knowledge came from, but it was very useful. Using it, she quickly stood out from countless slimes and became the real Slime King!

Of course, this is self-proclaimed.

Those stupid fellows would not care about a slime like you, a different species. They would only isolate her with their stupid tacit understanding. When she tried to question her fellows, they would not even say "No".

Humph~, stupid mortal, eh, why am I talking about people?

When she thought that her future life would be just like the present, the devil appeared.

He grinned from ear to ear, releasing his greedy desire. His compatriots were killed one by one, and it was foreseeable what the final fate of those compatriots who were put into the pottery jar would be!

I don’t want to dream about it anymore!

That's a demon! But my compatriots foolishly A'd up to it. No, I must be a sociable slime this time! I am their king!

Go ahead, soldiers, and fight for your king!

Me? Of course I'll just take a look...

As the soldiers fell one by one, I retreated behind them and prepared to retreat. But, that demon looked over! Oh my god! How could he see me when he had hidden his eyes?

She tried her best to escape, even using her ancestral super-killing skills, but she couldn't escape.

Too fast, that flash of lightning!

That demon is several times stronger than before! It's over! My life as the Slime King will end tragically!

In the completely blocked corner of the room, the slime was clinging to the wall, trembling all over.

The demon in front of him was blocking the door, his red eyes as big as copper bells staring at him, saliva symbolizing desire dripping from the corners of his mouth.

Ah..., a low and hoarse voice sounded in my ears:

"Why... don't you run away?!"

"Eey——" The slime instantly turned into a hedgehog. Two small tentacles stretched out from its round body and hugged its head.

Ciel held his breath.

He stood in front of the passage, blocking the only exit.

But he also didn't dare to step forward... The slime in front of him was too strange. Charles was afraid that she would suddenly speak, so he said playfully: I'm not a bad slime.

That would turn into a horror story right away!

He was afraid that he would accidentally provoke the slime and call out Charles, so he immediately unleashed the [Wrath of God].

Ah... I'm Ciel too, eh?

Alfia, who was late, walked up to Ciel and stared at the hesitant boy with a puzzled look: "What are you doing?"

Ciel stopped Alfia and said solemnly, "Be careful, this slime is not simple!"

Although this possibility is very small, if Belle wears it, maybe the cute king also wears it? If he wears it, will it be the complete form? !

After all, it's a dungeon. It's possible that there will be some vampire's [familiar beast]~, [elves] that can cause space shock~, or a [Goblin Slayer] that specializes in killing goblins appearing in it.

Alfia followed Ciel's gaze and frowned, "It looks like an ordinary slime. Well, other than being extremely timid and running away, there's nothing unusual about it."

Ciel stared at the slime's outstretched tentacles with a serious expression: "Look, isn't this slime's expression too rich? This is the unknown!"

"When facing the unknown, you must be cautious! A safe bet is a safe bet!"

Alfia thought thoughtfully, could this be the wisdom of Charles that the little Parum kid mentioned?

Her expression also darkened, and she was secretly accumulating magic.

Charles moved slowly, approaching to a distance of five meters from the slime.

A man and a slime looked at each other.

Charles took a deep breath and said seriously: "Onepiece is~~~"

"?" Slime slowly typed a question mark.

Charles stroked his chin.

No, this may not exist in the cute king's world... Let's use a simpler way: "Three crosses and four crosses..."

“?” Another question mark.

Charles was furious: "Fuck! You don't even know this, have you ever been to school?"

With a cry of “Wow————”, the slime turned around and cried loudly facing the wall: “Don’t eat me! I’m not a bad slime! I’m not delicious and I’m very bitter!”

whoosh-

With a flash of lightning, Charles appeared fifty meters away from the slime in an instant!

He stared at the corner with a look of doubt and uncertainty.

Alfia was also quite surprised. She had only seen the fishman that Charles raised as a talking monster.

"You want to keep her?"

Ciel turned his head and said, "No, didn't you hear me just now? She said 'she's not a bad slime'! How can I dare to raise her?!"

"So you want to raise a bad one?" Alfia was confused.

"No." Charles didn't know how to explain: "It's that kind... that kind of thing that's very unusual! There's an invisible aura of dominance? Yes, that's it!"

"So... are you scared?" Alfia noticed something was wrong with Charles.

It’s strange, you are not afraid of Balor and the Fallen Fairy, so why are you afraid of a slime?

Alfia took two steps forward and held the trembling little thing in the corner in her arms...

"Are you... scared?" She pinched a little thing with a (┮﹏┭) expression on its face and waved it in front of Charles' eyes.

Charles admitted that he was terrified.

Chapter 155 I was so scared

The secret underground realm of the 37th floor arena.

The bonfire burned the dead wood, casting Charles' shadow. Under the shadow, a shivering slime tilted its head back and stared at the devil.
