Chapter 90 - Slimy Task Force
In the cave's darkness that had no light source for illumination, stealth slime number forty-seven immediately moved along the sharp and pointed cave rocks.
Her body movement looked like that of an agile human when passing through several cave rocks. She then carried several adventurer parties who had fallen unconscious after their bodies were exposed to strong evil magical energy.
The body resistance of stealth slime number forty-seven was above the resistance of normal slimes because stealth slimes were at the peak of evolution, separating themselves from the ordinary slime caste, which was widely known by human common knowledge.
"Huft, they made me work hard like this."
"Is this why my Supreme Commander feels worried when these weak humans fall unconscious in fear?"
Swiippp ...
Piip ...
While moving her body along the cave rocks without using light for illumination, the stealth slime freely pulled the five human bodies that were in her shoulder arms. It looked like she was carrying heavy objects and relying on her body muscles to support the weight of the five human bodies.
The task given by the Supreme Commander was to evacuate humans who were drowning in the abyss of fear.
[ Hey! Tell me! How did you evolve? ]
[ Yes! Tell us how to evolve so that we can help our Supreme Commander! ]
[Don't think that you're the only one who's useful after evolving! I also want to be useful for the Supreme Commander who has replaced our King and Queen of Slime!]
[ Tell me clearly, how did you evolve to have a body like a human? ]
[ Don't pretend to be busy while helping those weak humans! ]
[ Tell us quickly! ]
[ Don't let our patience run out just to find you and interrogate you! ]
The conversation that took place within the Soul Tame communication network had become chaotic after several other stealth slimes had found out that one of them had succeeded in evolving their body to be able to use human form.
"Don't add to my burden just by answering your questions!"
"Aren't you the seven pillars who should understand more about slime evolution because your magic energy is much greater than mine!" Stealth slime number forty-seven grumbled after the seven pillars of stealth slime who had a large magical energy capacity and had a title position in the stealth slime herd tried to get information about the evolution procedure from stealth slime number forty-seven.
"I also don't know how to do it when I just heard a voice that suddenly offered my body to evolve!" continued stealth slime number forty-seven as she re-entered the cave after carrying several humans who had fainted in an open space not far from the entrance to the cave.
After leaving them in a safe place that was easily accessible to human sight, stealth slime number forty-seven immediately continued the task given by her Supreme Commander.
[Voice? Do you mean the voice that told me that there was only a 50% success rate for evolving and resetting my magical abilities with another magic core formation?]
[ I also heard a voice like that... is it possible to evolve and lose our magical abilities as a mighty slime? ]
[ Hey... you're not trying to trick us which will end up losing some of our magic abilities, right? ]
Stealth slime number forty-seven's facial expression looked annoyed and angry after hearing that.
"Do you think I'm joking in an emergency and busy situation like this?"
"I just agreed with the voice and chose a female human body form."
"And for some reason... I feel like our Supreme Commander doesn't like male human body forms."
"If you want to use a male human body form, I won't forbid you from doing so. But... I can confirm that our Supreme Commander has a strong hatred for men based on my slime instincts."
[ ... ]
[ ... ]
[ ... ]
The communication that was happening inside the Soul Tame network suddenly stopped like a bomb exploding a fact.
[ Is the old male form still an exception? ]
[ I guess that's possible... considering that our Supreme Commander has an old Butler who seems to be very respected. ]
[ I guess it's not too bad to take the form of an old man who seems to have a lot of life experience. Some of the old men around our Supreme Commander also look like they have had high achievements in their lives. ]n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
"It seems I have to prevent you from misunderstanding any further. The old man you are talking about is our Supreme Commander's father and trusted partner."
"I don't know why you would think that far to take the form of a male human when we don't have a gender for living long time."
[ Urkk! That's right. ]
[ I don't even know my gender. ]
[ If we were to evolve… would we have genders just like monsters that have males and females? ]
[ Hey! Can you show me your evolve gender? ]
Thummpp…
Boonkk!!
Stealth slime number forty-seven suddenly stumbled and fell when she heard the sensitive conversation in the Soul Tame communication.
"A-Are you all crazy!"
"Of course my current gender is female!" shouted stealth slime number forty-seven with a blush covering her entire face.
[ Same reaction as a normal human female... ]
[ Hoho... I didn't know the reaction would be like this... ]
[ This makes me curious if we choose the female gender... ]
[ Should we all take the female gender so we can get closer to our Supreme Commander? ]
[ That's a great idea! ]
[ Let's end this discussion by deciding that every remaining stealth slime herd must use evolution by choosing a human female! ]
[ I agree! ]
[ I agree with this decision too! ]
[ Let's become female so we can approach our Supreme Commander without feeling discriminated against! ]
[ Yay! Let's become female as a result of our mighty evolution! ]
The cheers that made stealth slime number forty-seven feel embarrassed were shown with her face turning bright red. The conversation from fellow stealth slimes had made her feel embarrassed when discussing the sensitive issue of her evolution which now had a female body shape.
"Stop cheering before our Supreme Commander hears this!" shouted stealth slime number forty-seven while moving her body through the cave and found several adventurer parties lying limply on the ground.
Swiipp...
Swaapp...
With gentle hand movements and checking the physical condition of the adventurer party lying on the ground, stealth slime number forty-seven was relieved because they were still alive and had only fainted after drowning in fear due to exposure to the Golden King Bear's evil magic energy.
Pooiinngg...
"Hmm? Oh! You near here?" said a mysterious voice that stealth slime number forty-seven did not realize.
Near the unconscious adventurer party, a stealth slime suddenly came out from between the cave rocks. That slime body was suddenly filled with dazzling golden light and that slime body seemed to burst like bubble molecules.
Pyyaarr...
The fragments suddenly formed a human body that was arranged together with the military cosplay uniform worn by the Supreme Commander. The posture of a female from the human race immediately entered stealth slime number forty-seven's view.
"Hoho… so this is why you suggested using a female body form?"
"Now I understand that female body form is too ideal and flashy to blend in with our Supreme Commander."
The evolution of one of the stealth slimes who earned the title of seven pillar slime received the full attention of stealth slime number forty-seven. Unlike her body form which looked like a teenage girl, the body form of one of the holders of the title of seven pillar slime had the body form of a highly skilled and cunning adult woman.
If their Supreme Commander looked like a cold-hearted and cruel villain girl, then one of the seven pillar slimes was able to match and even be suitable to stand beside their Supreme Commander.
"Your suggestion is very good, forty-seven," said the stealth slime who slowly showed her mature and sexy body form.
"Ugh, seven, what are you doing here?" asked stealth slime number forty-seven back while glaring at her sharply.
"Hoho… don't look at me with such a sharp gaze. I want to thank you for the advice you gave me," while saying that, the stealth slime who received code number seven from their Supreme Commander seemed to be holding something to give to stealth slime number forty-seven.
Pllooppp...
A white crystal containing the magic core of the Golden King Bear herd appeared in front of stealth slime number forty-seven's eyes.
"This is a reward for you for giving us useful advice," said stealth slime number seven.
"You don't want to reject my sincere gift, do you?"
"Think of it as a reward for your hard work and will make you part of the eight pillar slime title holders."
Poommm…
Stealth slime number seven threw the magic core of the Golden King Bear herd to stealth slime number forty-seven.
"T-Thank you very much."
"Now then… let's get back to work based on our respective tasks." Your next read awaits at empire
The two stealth slimes looked at each other and nodded their heads.
The task given by their Supreme Commander still applied.
Despite the commotion in the Soul Tame communication channel, all the stealth slimes cooperated well with each other.
