《The Fragile Monster Lord》Chapter 16 The Meaning Of Companionship

Advertisement

The next day.

I didn't sleep that night and just kept guard outside while checking the security slimes for their update i also told the scouting slimes to come back and concerning the case with the kobold village i told the other 5 slimes who were there to just keep an eye of anything that might happen.

-...

I was glad that the village wasn't really that close even if i tried to raid them i would only have a 3% chance of success combining all my assets compared to the last goblin raid this village was a whole different matter.The kobolds were far more intelligent and better equipped than my little group the only real battle potential i have right now are the slimes which were are very weak individually...

Other then that i got informed that the other 3 people who got transported here met up with blondys group it turns out blondy was surprised to meet them and openly welcomed them in end...

I didn't bother to listen further and just ignored it for now.The reason i am not joining with them is because i can't trust them the reason for that its because they are all human being human they have their own human nature that can screw people over massively and on top of that i really don't wanna deal with idiots if i have to be honest people who don't follow orders and do what they won't can't help your survival they will only pull you down into a early grave so i rather stay with my slimes they are more willing and obedient.

But there are pluses when it comes to their group being that each one of them has a class that might turn out to be very useful for example:Blondy she has a class called the "light crusader" she is able to heal her allies and herself while battling her attack power and defense is also very formidable her speed not so much but thats not the problem even if she had only the heal its already a very powerful ability to have the only problem she has thou is her unwillingness to kill anyone or watch anyone die she seemed over all okey with it if she isn't the who is doing the killing but in one way or another.

-You still have blood on your hands you participated in that you wanted to save your friends the death on those goblins is equally on you and because of your selfish wish which i agreed on because i took pity on you.

She is naive but she is most likely to understand that she can't stay alive if she doesn't kill someone intentionally now don't get me wrong i never killed someone in my previous world i never would have either but right now the situation was critic for myself so i gonna say it ! I CAN"T FIGHT I CAN"T SURVIVE BY MYSELF !

Its that easy it will be always its me or him in a fight that is the one rule that has never changed no matter in which world you get transported or get born into power means everything they rule everything while the weaker ones serve under the powerful ones i am not even trying to be a hypocrite its the truth after all...

I sighed.

-Lord sorron ?

I looked to my left where the other female goblins were sitting eating their meal we only had fruits and vegetables and other edible herbs which i refrained from using for now.It was currently very early morning i woke them up when the sun started to shine they all complained and it took me a while to get them up it only worked when i threatened them to deprive them from their meal if they don't get up ending up in this little event.

Goboku seemed a bit worried and poked me to gain my attention the other ones were also a bit worried...haa i don't like how they know how i feel through our links its not even something major concerning ourselves...

I waved my hand to them and told them to continue eating and that it was nothing

The nodded one by one a bit confused and ate their fruits.Goboku in turn thou just kept staring at me not eating on her right hand she held a pear like fruit with a green color which was half eaten she showed me her fruit and offered it up to me in which i refused telling her i was not hungry.It was true i wasn't hungry my stamina bar was still full i am not even sleepy anymore it seems like my stats are really high compared to the other people who were transported or the creatures so it seemed like it gave me a lot of perks to do things.

Goboku didn't seem to be discouraged and said.

-Aren't we companions ?

I laughed bitterly at her words did she even understand what i wanted to tell her yesterday ? I didn't try to refuse her anymore and just took the damn fruit and ate with a one bite goboku seemed satisfied and nodded to me the other goblins were confused thou.

==============================================

The sun was out and it was refreshing outside the female goblins were standing in front of me in a straight row shoulder to shoulder side by side some looked very sleepy and some very bored and nothing else.

This will take a while won't it ?

And like that i started my training.

For the training today i ordered them to run the field 20 times in a circle the 20 circles have to be completed in a set amount of time to be successful i also explained to them that each time they complete a circle they have to place a stone on the ground cheating would be heavily punished in which i didn't tell them what would but they got a bit panicked so i expected they wouldn't try to cheat me.And if anyone comes late the whole group has to run the circles another 5 times.The field was inside the walls it was very big i made it intentionally this big for future purposes in my estimation it should be 80 to 90 meters on each side making it a really long wall the slimes worked really fast and when the harvester slimes returned the building speed doubled but in the end the walls were makeshift a really strong hit from a monster could shatter it as if its nothing the reason for this wall was purely isolation and security the real protection comes from the security slimes that are watching everything on the ground from the tress.

I could hear a lot of groans coming from the female goblins even goboku seemed displeased about it but didn't say anything some even openly were against it until i said.

-If you won't do it i will not give you any food

They frozen when they heard that and stared at me blankly for a minute so i spoke again.

-If i am not mistake the time has already began ?

Before they had woken up i had already set up a sun clock on the ground for me to get a feeling of time looking at the sun and judge time was not my favorite thing to do you know.

The first to react was goboku followed by the second smartest goblin gobuha and then the rest i noted to myself that intelligence also increases mental reflexes and walked back to the entrance of the cave sitting on a crate while watching the female goblins struggle to make the timing.

While they were running i didn't stay idle and also started to begin my personal project i was originally thinking of teaching the slimes to make traps so they could hunt for game but to my surprised i noticed something very weird with few of the slimes....

One of them was red and one purple and the other yellow...power rangers ?

For a minute i thought they weren't really my slimes at all and so i tried to order them to come near me which actually worked i asked them what happened to them but they said that they didn't know what happened only that it happened last night...

I looked at their stats and was really surprised by them.

======================================

The attributes of these three slimes weren't different from your normal type of slime the basic slime the only difference was their species and skills that changed the fire slime gained the skill and its previous skill Changed into and even the other slimes have a different type of liquid like and respectively the last 2 slimes the poison and paralyze slime even have one same skill called which was also intriguing.

I gulped and looked at the fire slime and pointed to the other side and said.

-Use

It bobbed its head and in a instant 1,5 meter flame streamed out of the fire slime the outlet of the fire burst was from small to big it didn't even stop until i told it so charring the ground somewhat even the female goblins were surprised when they saw the flames but i quickly told them to continue running which they did.

-...

What really picked my interest was how did these three end up like this ? Its evolution for sure their species had changed from their previous species but how ?

As i scratched my head to recall the past days i suddenly remembered those poisonous herbs i had fed those slimes last night...

-can it be ?

I didn't have any sure proof about it but i wanted to try it again this could potentially be very useful because now i don't need to make fire myself.As for the other 2 slimes the poison and paralyze one...i don't want to start experimenting with their characteristics if they manage to kill something with their poison or paralytic liquid it will be useful but i am afraid of eating something that could potentially be threatening to my life...

I sighed.I opened my palm and opened the storage and took out some poisonous herbs i didn't feed anyone any herbs the moment i realized they weren't going to make them bigger and just stored them into my storage.Hmm but now what ?

I looked at the different poison herbs in my hands the rabbit sure talked a lot about the plants around here but he only told me which were poisonous and which were not he didn't tell me what they did i don't even know how i made a fire slime maybe he ate something else ?Or he was actually supposed to evolve like that and what i did yesterday was just a coincidence...

-ahhhh

I was really thinking about this too much damn it all ! i just feed each slime one herb each and start noting it if it does anything.

And so i did and what was supposed to be a trapping and hunting lesson turned out to be a slime research where i fed each slime one different herb in the end it took quite a while i checked the sun clock from time to time to see when the time is going to stop for them to finish their run and right now there were only 2 minutes left.

=============================================

I looked back to the female goblins and checked how they were doing with their training and as expected the 2 agility types were already finished and were sitting next to their stones panting heavily.The one stamina type and goboku both were going on a steady pace and were doing their last circle this also showed me that willpower indeed does influence your stamina somewhat i checked goboku's status and noticed her stamina going down really slowly compared to the others.

And as for the rest...

-uhh

-ahh i don't want to..

-...

Some were on the ground hugging their stomach some even threw up and some just fainted from the exhaustion that was caused by the long run the ones who fainted were the ones who had the lowest attributes but i wasn't going to leave them behind no like this they were also a lot of use.

I stood up from my crate and made a very loud whistle while using my transmission to tell them.

-Its over finished !

Only 4 people in total had made it fully those were the 2 agility types which were called gobusaku and gobuhiko,goboku and gobushi the stamina type gobura with her high strength attribute wasn't able to keep up and in the end and fell down throwing up.

I called everyone to one spot even the fainted ones which were 3 in total the rest just couldn't take it and collapsed i had the unconscious 3 carried over here by the slimes and so i started explaining.

-You have failed as a group 8 people didn't make it meaning you will run another 40 circles to be done..

Everyone was outraged by my declaration and wanted to shout at me but didn't had the guts to do so and just keep quite mumbling to themselves goboku was also really angry but looked the other way avoid me some even refused to run the circles 40 times again but i countered with.

-If you won't do it there will be no food and another thing to add.

They were wide eyed when i said that i also pointed at the 3 fainted female goblins on the ground.

-These 3 also have to make it 40 times if they don't then i won't count it as your success rest assured there will be no time limit this time but you still have to complete it.

They all once again froze and looked towards the 3 unconscious ones at that point i had already turned around and sat back on my crate .Because of her anger gobusaku one of the agility type goblins started to shout at the other female goblins who didn't make it.The ones who were getting shouted at also started to shout back which ended up with everyone starting to argue with each other some even started to hit each other becoming a brawl in the end goboku also participated while only 3 other goblins were still unconscious.

And what did i do you wanna know ? I did nothing i just observed the fight and made sure that no one was hitting anyone that could potentially be deadly fortunately no such thing happened but bad for them 2 hours past by while they were arguing and brawling with each other in that period of time i also taught the harvester group how to make traps and bait for now i only taught them the hidden hole technique which i previously used against the goblins i also taught them to catch something only limited to 3 feet they understood quickly because they had experience with it and didn't start making questions...ahh i love how slimes are so simple.

In the end the harvester group left towards the forest their goal to catch game and get some water.

I looked back to the female goblins and noticed they weren't fighting anymore everyone was exhausted and hurt they didn't seem to be angry anymore because they already vent all of it.

One of the goblins stood up to my surprise it was goboku i was vary of her drawing the dagger in the fight but she didn't do so which made me a bit proud of her.She started walking towards one of the unconscious goblins yes they were still out cold i didn't understand how they were fainted for so long but i didn't really care.

What happened next was a bit unexpected if i had to be honest i thought they would only figure it out after another day or two but what goboku did was carry the unconscious goblin on her back and start walking the circle.The other goblins looked at her confused and slowly they all started to one by one stand up and help each other gobura was carrying one of the unconscious goblins and the third one was carried by 3 other goblins they all walked in one slow pace and soon enough in another 5 hours they completed it everyone got on their back when they finally finished even the 3 who were carried woke up one by one while they were walking and did their walks independently they couldn't move no more so i let my personal slimes carry them into the cave it was a long day and tomorrow it won't be different.
