As a day passed, Y/N returned from his undisclosed journey, keeping the reason a secret from Rimuru for the time being. They both stood in the village, observing the peculiar sight before them. Shadow-like red orcs diligently carried hefty tree logs, while large ants soared through the air, ferrying various supplies. Meanwhile, towering shadow bears effortlessly transported the corpses of fallen monsters, depositing them in a designated area where humanoid shadow casters ignited funeral pyres.

Rimuru marveled at the orchestrated efficiency of these shadow soldiers, though couldn't deny the unsettling aura they exuded. "Wow... So, these are your shadow soldiers? That's impressive!" Rimuru exclaimed, their tone upbeat despite the eerie scene unfolding before them.

"Indeed, they handle the bulk of the labor while the goblins and wolves focus on hunting, gathering or lending assistance" Y/N explained, gesturing towards the bustling activity. Truthfully, the goblins and dire wolves had little to contribute at present, given the efficiency of the shadow soldiers.

With plans for construction projects underway to make this a real village, Y/N had summoned a shadow dwarf to oversee the orcs' efforts, providing meticulous blueprints for housing and other structures. Rimuru was taken aback by the dwarf's extensive knowledge of modern advance construction techniques, further highlighting the versatility and expertise of Y/N's shadow army.

The summoning of these shadow soldiers initially instilled fear in the goblins and dire wolves, even sending chills through Rimuru's slime body. The sheer magnitude of summoning and controlling such a vast array of monsters raised questions about the nature of Y/N's abilities. Rimuru couldn't help but ponder, "What kind of magic or skill does he possess to summon and control so many monsters?"

"I'm afraid I cannot provide an answer" replied the Sage, their tone tinged with confusion but also still stagnated as if it was a matter of facts. "It's possible that this feat is achieved through a Unique Skill or summoning magic, however I am unable to identify it."

Rimuru sighed in resignation. "Well, if you don't know, then I suppose I don't know either. But hey, they are undeniably useful!" Despite the uncertainty, Rimuru couldn't deny the practical benefits that Y/N's shadow soldiers offered.

Observing Y/N's calm demeanor, Rimuru couldn't help but speculate. "Do these summons possess Y/N's memories or abilities? Or perhaps he had them before... No, that's unlikely. He must have been isekai'd along with me, granted special powers in this new world." Rimuru's thoughts raced as he tried to make sense of Y/N's enigmatic presence.

As they watched the impressive prowess of the red orcs and shadow casters, Rimuru couldn't help but marvel at their strength and proficiency in magic. "The red orcs are formidable, and the casters wield fire and wind magic effortlessly. But do they ever run out of magicules? And if they're using Y/N's mana, just how much magicules does he possess that I can't sense?" The realization dawned on Rimuru of Y/N's formidable power, far surpassing the ordinary bravery of a mere boy.
