"Cut." Crounpis found that the "three-headed snake" he was operating had been beaten into a corpse by the children, so he had to take off the magic VR prop that was no different from a headband and threw it "hard"
, said to Rimuru, "Over there...ah, you happened to be KO'd too, so fast!"
"Don't put it so lightly, Hinata is really strong!" Rimuru said with resentment like a losing gambler, "You almost won the last duel with her who was serious and showed mercy. I feel like I
If you fight her yourself (without Ciel's help), you might lose."
Crounpis: "I have that Chloe here, the strongest warrior in the legend."
Rimuru: "But Chronoa didn't fight for me, so it's better for you to take it easy."
Crounpis: "It's a pity that I can't use my full strength, otherwise I will definitely be discovered."
Rimuru: "How about using the curse seal that forcibly operates the spirit power to mutate and strengthen the body? It feels like a wild boss. When the hero among the wild monsters has a second form, the third form also
Is it normal?"
"The detection rate is 100%."
Rimuru: "Ah, that's right. Hinata is not easy to play with."
Crounpis: "But it's quite easy to play in some aspects. Otherwise, you wouldn't have easily believed that kind of thing, and you would have gone to kill me in such a rage."
At this time, a pair of big hands patted their heads.
Veldora, the instigator, smiled and said: "Then, the final monster will be this dragon, quack quack quack!"
Rimuru: "It's not enough to have all bosses. Let's put some of the weirder local wild monsters to fight them."
The reason why things became like this was because of the idea Rimuru gave to Crounpis——
There is a large amount of undeveloped land within the scope of the Demon Kingdom. It can be said that all mountainous areas have not been developed, including the mountain where the sealed cave is located.
In this way, if there is a giant tree on the top of the mountain with completely inconsistent ecology, it will indeed look unnatural when viewed up close. Then it would be nice to put more weird and powerful monsters on the mountain to completely mess it up.
Let Hinata participate because she loves and protects those children, and being with Chloe, who has a history of time travel as one body, can easily affect Chloe's decision.
If she just thinks it's dangerous there and lets everyone go back. If they really want something, Hinata's personality will definitely come and talk to Rimuru to see if they can get it through other channels. That can be a good way to get it.
Give Chloe what you need to start from "elsewhere".
If they make it all the way, there is no doubt that their hard work will be regarded as the proceeds of the expedition.
Even if the person behind the scenes is exposed, just say "This is a special program prepared for you" to fool them.
As for how to explain those strange species and the sacred tree together - Veldora's magic does have the property of greatly mutating animals and plants, turning weeds into the most efficient herbs, and turning inanimate inorganic substances
The appearance of the pulse of life can also cause monsters to mutate.
Although the sealed cave was completely cleaned due to Rimuru's initial training and later plans to use the cave, he was convinced of this after comparison.
Then it’s okay to blame everything on Veldora’s unconscious “getting angry”? The special nature of the sacred tree in it will also be downplayed.
As a result, Veldora, who knew about this incident, also clamored to get involved.
Rimuru happened to be planning to test the "maze balance system", so he happily agreed.
The so-called "maze balance system" is an idea that came from Rimuru's desire to make money. After Ramiris's dungeon was modified with Masayuki's suggestions, it has a save point and a rest area, and the service is in place. You can kill monsters and explode equipment.
There are secret doors and treasure chests, so the business is quite good, but adventurers cannot earn everything, so Rimuru plans to directly control the wild monsters that are absolutely fair and unforgiving from time to time to suddenly "explode" and kill the unlucky ones.
Kill the adventurer.
With the labyrinth-limited resurrection bracelet prepared by Ramiris and the resurrection scroll he developed after learning higher-level resurrection magic himself, it doesn't matter if they die, and they can still pay for their resurrection costs.
Veldora put on the magic VR props and shouted: "Attack, Hell-Burning Demon Dragon, Kailis!"
It was a suture monster that looked like a python with arms and legs standing upright, with a pair of demonic wings behind it.
In fact, the monsters that the children and Hinata encountered were all suture monsters. Orochimaru studied the monsters in this world and played with the leftovers. Rimuru planned to recycle all the non-polluting waste and stuff it into Ramiris' labyrinth.
Become a monster.
But Veldora's words startled Rimuru: "Veldora, did you name the Hell-Burning Demon Dragon?!"
Veldora: "That's right! This is what makes it powerful and effective, right?"
Rimuru: "You idiot! If Chronoa and Hinata sense the type of magic element, won't they be tampering with the gang?" Although there is a tampering plan, of course it is better not to tamper with the gang if they can.
Clownpiss: "I think Rimuru is the least qualified to say anything about naming."
Veldora: "It's okay, I'm very good at learning, and I've learned not to name magic at the expense of other things! Come on, Kailis!"
"boom!"
game-over!
Rimuru: "…………"
Crounpis: "…………"
Veldora: "Why! Why am I the only one who gets hit with a big move as soon as I get on the stage? It's not fair to use a special move as soon as I get on the stage!"
Rimuru: "Veldora, if a monster appears too arrogantly, it will only be regarded as a real threat."
Crownpiss: "Especially since Hinata still thinks that she is protecting her children, it is natural for her to directly use all her strength to eliminate the terrorist threat."
Rimuru: "But that's okay. Look at what uncle did just now. A few more words will definitely get you wrong."
They all shook their heads and patted Veldora's shoulders.
After adjusting their emotions slightly, they began to enter the movie-watching mode together.

Turning his eyes back——
Hinata and the children went through "hardships" and finally approached their destination.
We are almost at the top of the mountain. The giant trees with huge flowers are blooming. At a glance, it is no longer possible to fit them all into the field of vision. When you look up, you can't see the sky, only the stems and leaves are full of eyes and the afterglow of the setting sun shines through the gaps.
"As expected, you can't drink it. It's great that we made special preparations for this short trip that we can go back to in the evening." Ryota looked at the big water ball that Chloe used magic to condense from the nearby stream, and said with a sigh of relief.
.
The water sources in Jula Forest are basically very clean. It doesn't matter if you stick your head in the water to drink or jump in to take a bath. Children have experience with this.
