- What?!!!

Ryo expected himself to get strong but not this strong. It was as if he had completely became a different person.

Ryo calmed himself and talked to Ray.

- Hey, Ray! We need to go to the Sealed Cave where Veldora was sealed.

- Yes, Master! I can take take you there on my back.

Ryo climbed on Ray's back and they went towards the Sealed Cave.

- Let's Go!!!!

After a few minutes...

Ryo and Ray reached the door of the Sealed Cave. Ryo pushed open the door.

They walked to the deeper parts of the cave to get some magic ores. They found themselves facing a part of the cave going towards two directions.

Ryo- Ray, Let's split up! We will meet here after two hours.

- Yes, Master.

- Before splitting up, wait a little bit...

"Skill Creation!"

Active Skill: Item Creation ( B+ Rank )

Description: You can create magical or normal items. As your skill level increases, you can make more legendary items.

Ryo closed his eyes.

"Item Creation! Magic Bag×2"

Ryo- Take this magic bag with you. You can keep the magic ores in it.

Ray- I will bring as many magic ores as this bag can hold for my master.

- Okay.

Ryo said with a smile.

Ryo made two magic bags to store items for himself and Ray as he had nowhere to keep the magic ores.

Ray and Ryo walked towards the paths in front of them.

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

Ryo's POV-

Ryo walked for ten minutes and found a huge area inside the cave filled with a lot of magic ores and monsters.

- Wow! There are a lot of magic ores here. Let's take about.... half of them!

Ryo walked towards the magic ores but he was soon stopped.

Some Armorsaurus walked towards Ryo on the intent of killing him.

Ryo walked past them in a very high speed and pumched them in their stomach. His face was showing as if he had no interest in the Armorsaurus and ignored them.

Ryo went towards the magic ores to collect them. The group of Armorsaurus could not understand what had happened and decided to attack Ryo again. Suddenly, their stomach had a huge hole as if a huge spear passed through them.

- Rise!

The group of Armorsaurus rose from death and went inside Ryo's shadow.

Ryo began collecting the magic ores as he didn't want to waste much time.

During the time he was collecting the magic ores, many more monsters attacked him but they were no match for Ryo as if they were a bug to him.

Ryo's army had increased a lot.

[ Ryo's army ]

Goblin- ×20

Armorsaurus- ×37

Tempest Serpent- ×9

Evil Centipede- ×6

Giant Ant- ×13

[ Companions ]

Ray ( Direwolf )

Ryo's stats didn't increase a bit as he wanted to increase his army.

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

After two hours, Ryo had finished collecting the magic ores. He was walking to the entrance of the cave. Up ahead, he saw Ray with a large amount of magic ores.

- He collected so much but... why he didn't keep it inside his magic bag?

Ryo walked towards Ray who took out even more magic ores from his bag to show it to Ryo.

- .....

Ray and Ryo began putting the magic ores back into the bag which took them half an hour.

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

Ryo and Ray got out of the cave and sat under a tree .

- *yawn* I haven't slept last night. Ray, Can you wake me up after 8 hours?

- Yes, Master!

- But before going to sleep, I have to make sure that we don't get attacked by some monster.

Ryo summoned some Armorsaurus from his shadow and they hid inside the shadows of trees and rocks.

- Oh! So they can also hide inside the shadows of other things.

Ryo didn't knew about such an overpowered thing.

- *yawn* Ok, Now I am going to sleep.

- Good Night, Master.

Ryo slept on Ray already using him as a sofa.

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

The Next Day.

Ryo woke up from the light of the sun falling on his eyes. He looked around his surroundings.

- It's morning already? *yawn*

He stood up and did some stretches without waking up Ray.

- Scan!

He used his Scan skill to find the nearest water source. He found a lake and drank some water from it. He looked at his reflection in the water.

- Who the heck is this?!

Ryo got scared as he didn't saw his face not even once since he came here.

"Is this really me?"

Ryo looked like a fifteen or sixteen year old boy with black hair and purple eyes. He looked very handsome for someone of fifteen to sixteen year old.

"I look like a total hottie. Compared to my old appearance, there is a huge difference."

Ryo then looked at his stomach, he was feeling full.

"I don't even feel hungry a bit. Maybe this is because of the Absorb Corpse Skill . Whenever, I absorb a Corpse, my hunger goes away. But, I don't feel any taste. So, it's best to eat something."

Ryo looked at his clothes. He was wearing a black sweatshirt and a black pant. Ryo wasn't surprised nor disappointed at his clothes. Ryo got up and went towards Ray to wake him up.

When Ryo got near to the tree under which Ray was sleeping, he saw Ray was searching for something or someone.

- Master!

Ray jumped on Ryo and began licking him.

- I was scared for a moment that I couldn't find you!

- Stop It, Ray.

Ryo said while laughing.

Ray got off from Ryo.

- Now, first of all we gotta find some food which is good to eat.

- I can hunt some food for us.

- No, I don't want to eat meat. I want something like a fruit to eat.

- Master, I know a place where we can find some fruits. It is not far from here.

- Ok, take me there.

Ryo followed Ray to the place he was talking about.

After a few minutes, they reached the place.

Ryo could see a lot of trees with fruits on them.

- Wow, there are a lot of fruits here.

Ryo climbed on a tree and took a fruit from its branch and ate it.

- Wow! It's so tasty! Thanks, Ray for telling me about this place.

- It's my honor, Master.

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

Rimuru's POV-

After that night, Rimuru woke up in the morning and named the monsters according to the anime.

Timeskip-

Rimuru was about to go to Dwargon, the country of dwarves when he remembered about the last night incident.

- Ah! I almost forgot the last night incident.

Rimuru got down from Ranga and said to Rigurd about the last night incident.

- I will check that place right now and give a report!

Rigurd went towards the area which Rimuru told him about.

- He didn't have to go now.

Rimuru got up on Ranga and went towards Dwargon with every goblin waving him goodbye.

-END-
