NOVEL NEXT Chapter 20: Magic
After storing the egg inside me I ask [Great Sage] something I was curious about
Great Sage you have access to information from all over the world right?
"Affirmative"
So that means I can learn any magic?
"Affirmative"
There's no time to waste!
"A target is recommended to practice magic"
Since I don't have to worry about the egg anymore I quickly go back to the lava lake and dive in
I quickly find a suitable target and tell [Great Sage] to cast Fire magic!
To my excitement a fireball flies…
And it doesn't do anything?
"The prey has a fire damage nullification from living in lava"
Oh
That makes a lot of sense
So use Water Magic!
As any gamer I know that fire is weak to water!
The water ball collides with the eel I'm using as a test subject
And…
It doesn't do much damage?
I don't see any noticeable damage as it tries to flee
"While creatures that are used to warm temperatures can be harmed by lower temperatures… the current location is surrounded by boiling lava, water magic loses quite a bit of its effectiveness"
Oh
Well…
Earth Magic?
A stone spear shoots out in front of me
And hits the eel killing it instantly
Oh that seems to be more useful in closed spaces like the labyrinth
Well, it's a normal thing after all, I guess
Hehehehehe
I can already imagine myself in the future mastering all magic
It would be something like the Avatar on steroids…
But that requires more energy so let's eat!
One great thing about [Predator] is that if I want it I can just eat it and then [Great Sage] will digest it in [Stomach]
Goodbye to staying still in one place to digest!
I'm a happy Slime!
Now with [Predator] I can absorb many, many skills… hehehehehe
I happily vary between my hunting grounds, between the lava lake and narrow tunnels that lead deeper into the labyrinth
For example!
Down in the caves I found a giant mantis
Nothing an earth spear to its head couldn't fix!
Also some sort of evolved snake…
That one was a bit more complicated, but it was perfect for testing out the different types of magic I want
They were a pretty good source of leveling up if I do say so myself!
Magic skills to me!
My current goal is to venture into the world of magic!
Considering that most monsters in the labyrinth attack at close range…
This is the most effective way to defeat them!
It's not because I just want to look cool!
Ahem
It's… a little lonely this
But never mind! Every day that passes I get stronger
That means that when I see Shiro again, we can talk calmly…
Speaking of which, she already knew how to talk, could it be…
Could it be that she was reincarnated like me?
Well, those will be questions for when I see her again
Meanwhile, Great Sage, what magic do I need to acquire?
"The basic magics that are missing to obtain are
Healing Magic
Ice Magic
Electricity Magic
Light Magic
Gravity Magic
Space Magic"
Wow!
I thought there were only the basic ones…
But never mind
Let's get to work!
The first three, not including healing magic, are relatively easy to obtain
After all, they can be used offensively
Which helps them level up quickly
As I finish off another snake evolved with electric magic, I wonder why the other magics aren't more... powerful offensively
I mean
Basic magic is... basic, man
But they don't have to be so useless!
Space magic could only be used to delimit an area with an imaginary rectangle!
To learn that magic, I had to use it continuously with Great Sage
Do you know how annoying that rectangle is?
Arghhh
And gravity magic is the worst magic for me at the moment
It could only make enemies heavier
It would be useful if it weren't for the fact that the weight added to them is really low!
I had to catch a toad from the upper floors with nets and enclose it in a thread cocoon with a clone and then let my clone use magic constantly
It was torture
Some people would think that with the clone I wouldn't have a bad time
But it's not like that!
Even though the clones are handled by a great sage, I must continually check that the frog doesn't die!
But oh well
It served at least to test the Healing magic
I'm not a big fan of damaging myself and then healing myself…
So I used the same frog to train the Healing magic
But… after a long, long time…
I did it
I got all the magic (LV1, but that's something)
Well the frog died, but its sacrifice will not be forgotten!
Eh?
Just that?
No, no, no, no, no, no
I can't get just that
I spent a lot of time damn it
Having [Great Sage] and [Hope] sped things up, but that doesn't mean it wasn't tedious hunting with level 1 magic in deep floors…
Well… I guess having extra magic doesn't make things harder…
I hope that [True Elemental Magic] is good enough to be worth having all my magic taken away!
"The skill [Degradation] could return those skills in case you don't like that skill…"
Oh
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Hi guys, I hope this first day of the year was something nice for you
Sorry if I uploaded the chapter late, I went back to review both light novels to be able to better structure what I want to do, after a serious reading session of "so i'm a spider so what" and "tensei shitara slime datta ken" I managed to make sense of what I want to write by finishing this arc
As in the votes you wrote that you preferred Rimuru from the LN I decided to read all the novels again
But changing the subject, another vote will take place until tomorrow
The topic is:
Rimuru will obtain the ability [Tabu LV10] next chapter, but what do you think about summarizing the current situation of the world (the ability [Tabu Lv10] grants the knowledge of the truth of the world of "so i'm a spider so what "), but I don't know if I should save it for later in the next arc or write it now so that it makes sense what I want to write will do in the future...
Yes, write it down and summarize it
No, leave it for later
By the way, we reached 15k words! (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻
It's already a huge achievement for me to have advanced so much, thank you all for your support
