Episode 10

Breaking the wall wasn’t that difficult.

Actually if I alone broke it with a pickaxe it would have been hard but unexpectedly there was the help of the slimes.

Pop!

As the slimes squeezed between the cracks and went back and forth the wall couldn’t endure and broke.

Unlike usually passing smoothly the appearances of forcing strength and going back and forth.

“Good, good.”

Thanks to that I was sucking honey after only making cracks in a few places with the pickaxe.

Wriggle!

“Hey, I’m the lord. A lord doesn’t move carelessly.”

Toward Mark Two that wriggled as if asking why are you only playing I said solemnly.

As a bit of time passed like that the wall soon collapsed and the interior scenery was revealed.

“It’s dark.”

It was strangely eerie.

Taking the slimes along and casually moving my feet slowly the field of vision adapted and the inside started to be visible.

The space itself was wider than expected but it looked like inside a cave.

“Altar?”

I’m not sure since I don’t know altars well but there was a structure inside that anyone looking would have the word altar? pop out.

Feeling it was unusual at a glance I of course sent the slimes first this time too.

“Check if there’s nothing dangerous.”

Undulate!

The slimes that undulated cutely spread in all directions and examined the surroundings. Dokdok who entered first would have roughly grasped it but it was better to confirm surely if possible.

Undulate!

Soon the slimes that confirmed for about 10 minutes and returned informed there was no abnormality.

“At a glance it’s a hidden piece?”

Hidden piece.

Literally it meant a hidden fragment.

There might be the history of this dungeon or information of the owner who made the dungeon.

Or a boss monster might come out or it might just be an empty space.

It could be a reward, or something harmful, a hidden piece was something no one could know.

Generally since it was an element with a much higher probability of benefiting the finder expectations couldn’t help but rise.

“Suddenly a monster won’t pop out from the altar, right?”

Oh? It feels like I raised a flag?

Creak-

As I approached the altar that was still suddenly started moving.

Soon with a grinding sound the upper part opened like a lid opening and an eerie energy burst from the opened altar.

“Huk!”

Undulaaate!

The slimes reflexively blocked in front of me.

Even in the sudden situation the movement to protect me was moving but...

‘Not helpful at all!’

Slimes were slow and weak enough to lose even to ordinary middle and high school students.

Because of the amazing abilities shown so far they looked omnipotent but originally the race called slimes was like that.

Plop!

Wriggle?

I held the three slimes in my arms for now.

Whatever happens I have to live first and see.

Thirty-six stratagems run away!

Tadatadak!

Even while fleeing nimbly like that there was no obstruction at all. Still just in case to get as far as possible from the space behind the wall I ran to the place with the ladder.

“A, they’re not following?”

Wriggle?

The three slimes held in my arms tilted their heads in a cute appearance.

Casually looking back nothing was chasing. I clearly felt a strange energy but was it my misunderstanding?

“There was clearly something. Right?”

Wriggle?

“No? It’s not, there was clearly something.”

Undulate! Undulate!

Was it unnecessary fuss.

But no matter how comfortable this place is the fact that it’s a dungeon doesn’t change.

Being careful for the one in ten thousand isn’t bad. Yeah, yeah.

“Shall we go again?”

Wriggle!

The slimes climbed down my body and slowly crawled again to the place where the wall was pierced.

I also matched the guys’ speed and advanced slowly while being wary of the surroundings.

“Really nothing? What was that earlier? Did I feel wrong?”

Soon when I arrived again at the cave-like place where the wall was pierced a somehow eerie and damp energy wrapped me again.

While comforting myself that it seemed because of this atmosphere, the slimes suddenly fussed.

Wriggle- Wriggle!

Undulate!

At the appearance as if urgently calling me I casually checked and it was the direction of the altar.

“What’s wrong?”

Soon approaching the altar side I was startled at something that appeared out of the blue and stepped back one step.

“...Wow, what is this again.”

There was one slime that was drying up and withering. Still whether it was alive the guy was wriggling with difficulty and trying to come out of the altar that had changed like a coffin.

But the shape and color were a bit special.

At a glance it was felt that it wasn’t an ordinary slime.

“A yellow slime with stripes...”

The exterior wasn’t just round either but something like a cat’s ears was attached. Of course only the shape was like that and the fact that it was a slime was unchanged.

“Ah, can’t I just check?”

Come to think of it I could call up the slime’s status window.

I checked the guy still wriggling trying to come out of the altar.

[?? Slime LV.10]

It is not an ordinary slime.

Sealed state.

‘Liquid Synthesis possible’

Ability:??

Looking at the status window confirmed immediately I scratched my head. Anyway this system had not even 1 degree of kindness.

“Not ordinary I know just by looking. And what’s the question mark? What’s the seal too?”

Anyway since the guy was ultimately a slime I thought maybe I could make it mine.

“Hey, kid. Can you hear what I’m saying?”

Droop-

The guy as soon as it heard my words drooped as is. Since the state looked not good at all I left the guy to the slimes and went to check if food was still remaining.

“Tsk, only a little left.”

These glutton guys.

Before I knew it the remaining tomatoes were also right before extinction.

Still looking at the 2nd round cherry tomatoes whose pollination was over and fruit was being made there was leeway but to handle the increasing slimes...

“Well, that’s why I planted much more underground.”

I planted a full 7 types of crops.

It gets complicated to calculate somehow but that doesn’t matter and for now I was thinking of trying this and that.

Having brought the remaining tomatoes like that I handed a tomato to the guy stuck in the altar as if dead.

“Eat this and gather some energy.”

Droop?

The guy that still looked lacking energy looked at the tomato held in my hand and moved with difficulty.

Then with the part thought to be the mouth it picked and ate the cute cherry tomatoes one by one.

“How is it? Delicious?”

Droop-

The guy who ate the tomato looked around whether there was more. Unfortunately the tomatoes were all that.

“Endure just one day. Tomorrow I’ll harvest tomatoes again. Leila should be harvestable around tomorrow too so I’ll specially give you one too.”

I planted a total of 30 Leila.

Because there were no seeds I worried having planted only a little but fortunately without a single dropout all grew.

From the beginning I was thinking of giving one each to the slimes but I hadn’t calculated this mutant slime that appeared suddenly.

‘Still what can I do. It’s my family now.’

All slimes were my family.

And if this special guy became my subordinate I thought I would be quite happy too.

Because it was a guy that wasn’t in the monster encyclopedia I looked up while studying as an awakener in my own way.

“What should I call your name? Since the level is 10 shall I call you 10?”

Puu-

“You don’t like it? Then since it’s a question mark Puum?”

Puu-

“Since you keep puu puu-ing I’ll call you Puu.”

Puup!

It seems like complaining something again but sorry I can only understand the nuance.

In the end whether the guy liked it or not I decided to call it Puu and took it out of the altar for now.

“Was this not an altar but a coffin... Uwaaa!”

For a moment I who almost sank down used the excellent physical ability of an awakener and barely caught balance.

Wondering what it was looking again the moment I took out Puu the altar split and stairs were revealed.

“Stairs? Secret room? Treasure?”

The flow of thought naturally headed to treasure.

Anyway it seems I died in a previous life with treasure before my eyes.

Flinch!

Once more I who was about to act unconsciously barely stopped my body.

How do I know what’s below here!

“Puu, do you know if there’s anything below here?”

Puu- Puu!

“I don’t know what you’re saying?”

Puu who gathered some energy anyway after eating the tomato seemed to be explaining something diligently but I couldn’t understand at all.

The guy’s language was much more high-dimensional than my slimes.

“As expected a level 10 slime.”

Come to think of it for being level 10 there’s nothing. Of course it says sealed state, tsk.

Anyway the seal thing too I should go out and look for some information. Of course the probability of finding the answer I want was extremely low but I have to try something.

“Can this be closed?”

I wanted to see later rather than confirm right away.

Sleep first for now.

I already stayed up 3 days. Physically there was no problem but the mind was tired. I had experienced too many things at once in the meantime too.

Puu!

Then when Puu rubbed near the altar the door where the stairs opened closed.

“Ooh, as expected you’re related to something?”

Since Puu was discovered here the probability was high that those stairs and something that would be below were also related to Puu.

Well, since it’s a slime dungeon and a dungeon that even awakened the Slime Lord ability in me a level 10 slime being here isn’t a surprising thing.

Below those stairs too the probability is high that something related to slimes is there.

‘Come to think of it it’s underground again. Don’t tell me it continues underground?’

I thought it was a dungeon of about 200 pyeong but underground keeps being discovered. If the landlord, no the dungeon owner knows he’ll probably try to receive more money.

Before that I have to earn money quickly and buy this dungeon.

“Here, here. Now since everyone played to their heart’s content it’s work time.”

Wriggle?!

I think I saw a gesture of being dumbfounded saying when did we play but I still don’t know the slime’s language well.

Anyway the guys even while wriggling went back to work diligently. Except one guy.

“Hm? What are you doing here? You have to work together too?”

Puu-

When I spoke while smiling Puu staggered and followed the slimes.

Hmm, the body state still doesn’t look good.

I wasn’t a vicious boss.

I was a very kind boss who knew how to think of welfare.

“Puu! Since your body state isn’t good yet let’s manage the upper side not here. Upper isn’t much so the work is much less than here!”

Haha, how kind a boss this is!

Moreover upper is already being managed diligently by the new recruit so the work will be less.

“Here, show the dignity of level 10! You can do it, Puu!”

Was it a misunderstanding that no answer came?

Anyway with another new family member appearing my farm was also gradually becoming more colorful.

“Now shall I sleep a bit.”

Somehow it felt like the tension was higher than usual but it seemed because I was tired.

“Set the alarm, ugh.”

Finally watching Puu and the new recruit’s appearance once I fell into sleep smoothly.

One slime, two slimes, three slimes...
