So I’m a Slime, So What?

Shiro doesn't really talk much…

We've been walking through the labyrinth for a while now, but we just walk

Not to mention the occasional lizard that appears in our path, there's not much prey to absorb

So the optimal solution is to go down the floors!

After all, those levels to be able to go unnoticed by humans aren't going to be won on their own!

Using the limited functions of the Great Sage, I managed to find the evolution that will help me gain a human form without having to commit to eating people

Its name is…

[Manticore Slime]

Cool, huh?

The best thing about it is that this evolution is pretty close to my current form

The little information I managed to get from Shiro about the future is that he wants, like me, to have a humanoid form so he can live peacefully with tasty food

So I'll never be alone!

We will be a pair of friends and their egg who travel and eat the delicacies of the world instead of poisonous monsters…

Suddenly in the silent labyrinth footsteps sound

Shiro and I reflexively get defensive

We soon see humans behind us

"-The spider and the special Slime is there!"

"-Kill it quickly, we have to capture the Slime before it escapes"

Shiro stays still for a moment, although we can't understand what they say… we can feel their thirst for Blood

Through our small mental link she sends me a signal, not as words, but closer as a feeling, what I understood from this could be translated as:

Run!

I'm not entirely sure why we can't fight instead of flee, but she has better instincts than I do, so I follow her instructions and we try to flee together

Even though we run fast, the humans follow us closely

Dodging them and using some monsters as bait, we manage to get some distance

However, just as we're getting away…

Shiro can't stop and falls into a fissure

I scream and try to use some skill to help her, but it's too late

She's fallen into the hole, and unless I jump voluntarily, I won't be able to reach her

I was tempted to jump

But I heard voices behind me

I don't quite understand what they're saying…

They approach me with less caution than before, with a cage in their hands

One of them sees the egg and greed is reflected in his eyes

But I unmistakably hear a laugh

Is he laughing at Shiro falling?

Is he laughing at my partner not being with me anymore because of him?

I've never thought of harming anyone

On Earth I was a person who thought people could understand each other through talking

I've never harbored hatred towards anyone in general

Not even the person who killed me in the first place

But…

My body begins to tremble violently

We're not on Earth anymore!

Unleashing [Dopplengänger] without deciding on a specific form I use all the forms I know at once

This results in an amalgamation of monsters in what was my body

I grow arms that transform into the heads of snakes

My head is now a combination of toad eyes and centipede jaws with ridiculously large fangs

My torso is now curiously round like that of the toad

Two pairs of wasp wings sprout from my back

My lower part is a combination of a stinger and an open snake jaw

With this appearance I quickly attack the human who had approached the egg

I quickly grab him with the jaws I have instead of hands and insert poison into him

He begins to scream

Upon hearing his partner scream the others finally react

They try to attack me by throwing fire at me to distract me so they can help their partner

Unfortunately for them…

I will not allow it

I quickly throw him through the crack that Shiro had fallen

They don't have time to react

They can't save him

What does it feel like?

Now who's laughing

I don't waste time and attack another human

At the same time and to prevent them from escaping I throw spider webs to block the exit

With their sword they try to attack me, but with spider webs and my own jaws that work as hands, I snatch them and use them against them, using [Expulsion] on the swords they are thrown straight at them

Two of them fail to avoid them and are pierced

One of those who were damaged by the attack tries to flee

Using the [Poison Synthesis] skill I try to shape the poison and combine it with paralysis, it becomes a mini-spear using [Expulsion] I throw it at them

Such a spear lands near his heart

But he is still alive

Running away he takes something from his backpack, drinks it and manages to escape

Tch

Focusing on those remaining I let out a roar of frustration

They tremble in fear

They no longer have any weapons

Two of them have already lost their will to live

The others knelt down and started crying

Well that means I have to finish what I started right?
