The adventurer's proceeded to receive new armor and an upgrade to their current weapon that was personally made by Kaijin and a small backpack of supplies for their way back, They said their goodbyes and wish to return later when they can, Rimuru meanwhile was trying out the new form lately and worn some clothing that dord had made for Rimuru.
The part of the town that was destroyed due to the greater spirit taking over Shizu was coming back together however not all things can be fixed... Shizu sadly no longer with them as per her request for a peaceful life, she had Rimuru to absorb her which allowed Rimuru to have a human form that mimicked Shizu younger self.
On top of a high cliff, A rockpile was made by Rimuru and Y/N along with Ram and Ranga to symbolize Shizu passing as they prayed to it, "I wont forget the promise that I made to Shizu but before I can slug Leon Crudwell, The dumb Demon Lord who made her cry. I will need to gain some information and..." They turn to Y/N with their yellows eyes gazing upon the Shadow Monarch, "I know he will be there to help me" Rimuru had utter faith in Y/N.
"I am a slime that keeps her promise's"
The mystery of Rimuru current pronouns was now unrevealed, Y/N turn to Ram who was now slightly taller, There was a small trick that Y/N had used to help Ram was to allow a small drain of his mana to flow into her bit by bit once she trains and grow stronger or else her body may overflow with magicules and either explode or get exposed to dense magicule which will give her mana poisoning.
A few more day's has passed as the once destroyed part of the town was fixed and looked as if nothing ever happen to it, More and more races of monsters like some lizard's man and Kobolds which was at first a few in a group that traded with the goblins before Y/N and Rimuru arrived but now the Kobolds are one of the main traders for the town.
The city will need a trading line with merchants in order to receive proper materials and items so that will need to be solved sooner or later. "Heading to the Kingdom of Ingrassia would be the best and quickest way to gain supplies through a merchant trade line however entrusting their products to an unknown person would make it unlikely, there was also a adventurer guild there so increasing my rank in the guilt would be beneficial and it would resemble being a hunter again" Y/N sat at his table, reading some books about specific function on how the world works including locations, race, magicules, past conflicts or wars and tried to find more detail on the otherworlder's but there was very limited in that department.
"𝓜𝔂 𝓵𝓲𝓮𝓰𝓮, 𝔀𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓲𝓷𝓽𝓻𝓾𝓭𝓮𝓻'𝓼" A voice rang through Y/N, Shutting his book before he stood to his window and look over the town of monster's. "𝓣𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝓪 𝓰𝓻𝓸𝓾𝓹 𝓸𝓯 𝓸𝓰𝓻𝓮'𝓼 𝓱𝓮𝓻𝓮 𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓻𝓮𝓭 𝓸𝓷𝓮 𝓲𝓼 𝔂𝓮𝓵𝓵𝓲𝓷𝓰 𝓯𝓸𝓻 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓶𝓪𝓼𝓴 𝓶𝓪𝓳𝓲𝓷 𝔀𝓱𝓸 𝓬𝓸𝓶𝓶𝓪𝓷𝓭 𝓾𝓼? 𝓭𝓸 𝔀𝓮 𝓱𝓪𝓿𝓮 𝓹𝓮𝓻𝓶𝓲𝓼𝓼𝓲𝓸𝓷 𝓽𝓸-" Y/N stopped the shadow report there with a "No."
His body became black as he sunk into his shadow and appeared standing beside a large bear shadow who was glaring with their purple glowing eyes towards the attacker's.
Tank hushed instantly as Y/N raised his hand which caused all of the shadow soldiers and bears along with humanoid ants to hush and brought down their weapons and claw's. He step forwards to the ogre's with some of them looking mad and the pink one hiding behind the group.
Y/N turned to look at some hobgoblins on the ground along with Ranga crouching Infront of them as if to use himself to protect the sleeping hobgoblins from the ogre's. "They are majority unharmed with most of the hobgoblins asleep" With a single glance, there was no bad damage to them beside Gobta making a very shallow cut like it was a fatal wound... That is Gobta for you... anyway, One of Y/N caster had now began to chant healing magic on Gobta.
"I ask you this, Are you the one who are the leader of these Orc's!" The red hair Ogre angrily spoke with his blade pointing towards Y/N, there was indeed some Orc's shadow that was surrounding them however, "They may look different but I know a Orc when I see one!" His voice got louder as hatred seem to be boiling in this one,
The only Ogre that was capable of sensing only a bit of Y/N magicule was the old man and the red hair one, "Seem like he is the leader and there is only 6 of them, The old one reminds me of a master swordsman with that gaze, the leader reminds me of a samurai, the pink one looks familiar... however she is like a mage class the purple hair girl seem to be a berserker of the group, the blue ogre is the agility type and the big one perhaps could be that close to a berserker" He analysis each one of the ogre and their possible class's.
Speaking about the old ogre, he too was also appearing to do the same thing with the shadows soldier that surrounded them and Y/N as well, "That child is no kid at best, those eyes are that of a hunter who experience would outrank even the Prince" In fact... that boy strength that the old man could sense was far out of their league.
The ogre eyes narrowed more sharper when Rimuru within her human form along with the mask covering their face would arrive, "Can you brief me on what happen Y/N?" She asked while standing beside Y/N side, "Intruder's arrived and put our people to sleep with magic though I got everything undercover" Well he did wanted a peaceful ending and no conflicts but the ogre emotional state raised futher when Rimuru appeared.
"Show us who you really are, majin!" Yelled the red hair ogre which confused Rimuru, "Wait, hold up! what did you just call me?" She asked for clarification, perhaps this was all a misunderstanding that can be fixed.
"A masked Majin that can control Orc's... I know for certain that you must be the one who destroyed our village!" He points his blade to Rimuru instead of the child
"Enough trickery! hiding your mask and appearance wont save you!" He yelled as if he had ignored the shadow soldiers that was surrounding them and the previous accusation that Y/N was the leader but when Rimuru appeared, she was the one to blame.
'"Reveal your true identity" The old man warned Rimuru with blue ogre continuing with saying "It appears that the mastermind came to us, It should make things easier."
Rimuru could only sweat at the blames they giving to them, "Whaaaaaaat?! but my true identity is just a squishy small adorable slime monster! Y/N is the one who controls his super uber cool shadow's" Despite feeling confusion on why she got the blame, they still admiral how cool Y/N skill or magic was, It is one of the inspiration on how the wolves are summon to their rider's and how Ranga hide in Rimuru shadow was call based on Y/N shadow and how they appear and dissapears.
"We appeared to found the survivors of that destroyed Ogre village Afterall, then perhaps..." Y/N open his palm slightly which the old man ogre moved slightly to place his hand on his blade handle, A sword is formed in Y/N hands as the old man ogre clenches down on his handle, preparing for any attack the most dangerous enemy here was.
Y/N lift a red blade up towards the ogre's and asked "Do any of you ogre's recognized this blade" A simple question that can be answered with a simple answer became a difficult answer to say as the the pink hair ogre, the leader and the old man ogre eyes widen.
"That blade!" They thought with the leader rushing towards the duo with his sword coming down onto them with Rimuru panicking, "Why did he attack instantly when he saw that blade?!" Rimuru was quickly about to dodge and about to grab Y/N until...
The sword struck Y/N and slashed through his body as the end of the blade was now into the ground, "Y/N!" Rimuru looked on shock before they all blinked and realize... he was not there, there was no blood at all, it was as if they were having illusions as the spot Y/N was now in was... still in his previous spot and the leader was on now in a different spot he ran.
"What?!" The leader just stared at the ground, at the top of his blade that was in the ground, he was quiet and his eyes was widen, "How did I miss... I got that ally of the masked Majin but I missed... how...?" He tried to think about what happen with Rimuru looked at Y/N with confusion, "Great sage, do you know what happen? I am sure he was hit but-" It was heard to say in words at the vision she saw but the answer arrived at the conclusion on what happen.
"Answer, it was not due to some spell or skill but rather the physical speed that Y/N had reached was fast enough to leave a physical copy of himself which allowed the sword of the ogre to phase through him and with speed acceding the speed of light, Y/N moved the ogre away" The one of the great sage was slightly different, if anything, it appeared that even the sage was confused but Rimuru had the answer she wanted but the speed of light?!
"I could not even react to what happen! was that his speed or a use of a skill..." The old man ogre now was certain that the danger was not the masked Majin but rather the child beside them.
The ogre's despite what happen would be ready to fight the shadow soldiers and the masked Majin to avenge their village and with the confirmation of that blade that Y/N had in his hand, the Ogre was sure that these people were the cause... well until someone arrived.
