- Do you not wish me to become your servant?

Ray looked at Ryo with his cute eyes but his scars on the face made him look like a badass.

- Are you sure, that you want me to become your master?

- Yes, you are more than a master I could ask of.

- Okay, then.

"He may become useful for my future goals."

Ryo thought in his mind while Ray was looking at him.

- Okay, then follow me!

- Yes!

Ryo jumped down from the branch as Ray followed him soon after.

Ryo- Our first plan will be to make us stronger and then also enjoy the fun. Currently, they are sleeping. So, there's a place that I gotta go. So, stay close to me.

- Yes, Master!

Ryo seemed to be a little uncomfortable hearing a wolf calling him Master.

Ryo and Ray jumped the fence and walked to the other side of the village near a stick house.

Ryo stood near a ground which seemed to have been dug.

Ray dug the ground and found a lot of corpses of the goblins.

Ryo- Ok, Now.... Absorb Corpse!

Ryo absorbed half of the corpses of the goblins.

Ding!

"Why is my level not showing? Okay, whatever. Atleast, I have gained a lot of stats."

Ryo then looked at the rest of goblin corpses.

- Rise!

The goblins rose from death but now, they have a blazing fire in their eyes which is blue in colour.

"Now, where can we hide them?"

The goblins jumped at the shadow of Ryo and got sucked into it.

"Wow! It looks like I have many skills similar to Sung-Jin-Woo."

Author's Note- Sung-Jin-Woo is the main character of Solo Leveling.

Ryo looked at the sky and then looked at Ray.

Ryo climbed in Ray's back. Ray jumped the fence of the goblin's village and went deep inside the forest.

After a few minutes, they came far away from the village. They were passing a large tree which was surrounding by holes in the grounds.

- Ray, Stop here! We will rest here for today.

- Yes, Master!

- Before that, we gotta take care of some pests here.

Many large ants came out of the hole around the tree.

- There are 27 of them. So, I will take care of 20 of them. Ray, you can take care of 7 of them, so that you can get stronger.

- Master, 7 of them are fine with me!

Ryo decided not to use his Anime Lover Skill this time. Instead, he wanted to check how much strong he is, only with his stats.

Ryo jumped at the head of one ant and kicked it slowly. As soon as the kick landed on the ant his head got in a very bad shape and got head separated from his body. The head separated from his body fell down on the ground which made a large crater. The sound was heard by everyone inside the forest even Rimuru.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rimuru's POV

Rimuru woke up from the sound of the fight which had lasted for a few minutes. Rimuru got out of the stick house and looked at the Goblin chief, his son and the Direwolves.

- How can they sleep after such a loud noise? I should go and check it myself.

Rimuru decided to go to the source of the sound by himself.

When Rimuru reached the place, he could see a large crater and a lot of giant ants.

- Who killed these giant ants?

Rimuru checked around the corpses of the giant ants and the large crater but he couldn't find anything.

- I guess some adventurers might have killed these ants. But why are they here during night? I guess I will just ask the goblins to check it tomorrow morning.

Rimuru left the place and went towards the goblin's village.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------‐-

Ryo's POV

Ryo killed the giants ants in a matter of seconds. It was as if they were real ants to him. Ray was still fighting with the ants 5 down and 2 left.

- Hey! Ray finish it up quickly.

Ray finished fighting after a few minutes.

- Master, You are more powerful than I thought you would be. I am ashamed to have disappointed you by my weak fighting.

- Thanks, Ray and don't be ashamed. You just have to get stronger everyday.

Ryo felt Rimuru coming towards them by his Universal Sense skill.

- Conceal!

Ryo concealed their presence so that they don't get caught.

- What happened, Master?

- That slime is coming here so we gotta hide.

Ray and Ryo hid behind a tree.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Present

- *sigh* He has gone now.

Ryo looked at the corpses of the ants.

- Rise!

14 of the giant ants rose from death and went inside Ryo's shadow.

- Now, Absorb Corpse!

Ryo absorbed thirteen corpses of the giant ants.
