Chapter 5: A Passing Slime
Nighttime.
Rimuru looked at the samurai who was drunken and walked in front, a little speechless.
This person, relying on himself to be a samurai, wants to kill ghosts with a little strength.
He is neither a ghost killer nor a Nichiren sword, so rushing forward can only be sent to death in vain.
Rimuru secretly followed him, wanting to see if this person could find any trace of the ghost.
According to the words of the hotel owner during the day.
Here a man who calls himself the Ghost King appears.
The villagers didn't know about the existence of ghosts, but they did know about the ghost king.
According to the innkeeper's description, this 'ghost king' would survive even if his head was cut off.
This is very much in line with the characteristics of ghosts.
In the village, there was a samurai who was a little older and had joined the army.
His strength is very strong, when he fought the 'Ghost King' a month ago.
fought to the end and cut off the other party's head.
It's just a pity that that the 'ghost king' is an immortal existence in their eyes.
The only samurai in the village died like this.
And so a month passed.
This ghost king will appear every night, looking for a man to target.
As a result, the village began to lose a large number of men.
The men who are still here are either left here for some reason.
Either that's the real head iron.
This is the case with innkeepers, for example.
He couldn't let go of his property, so he stayed here.
According to the boss, this 'ghost king' will give priority to those men from outside as targets.
This is also the reason why outsiders are not welcome in this village.
They don't want to involve innocent people.
So at first, the innkeeper thought about letting Rimuru leave quickly.
In general, the people in the village are still kind, but the way they behave is slightly wrong.
It looks like an exclusion of outsiders.
As for this samurai, after hearing that this place is strange, he deliberately came here to get rid of the 'Oni King' and become famous in one fell swoop.
But his idea was clearly a bit naïve.
Rimuru doesn't have much affection for this kind of person who is full of hot blood muscles and has no IQ.
But he won't let the other party die in vain.
In any case, this is a human life.
Within the limits of one's ability, the salvation should be to be saved.
"Hmm, hiccup...... What about the ghost king, the ghost king get out of here! ”
"Lao Tzu is waiting for you here today, see if Lao Tzu doesn't cut off your head and use it as a urinal!"
"Hahahaha!"
The drunken samurai drew his katana and swung it into the sky with an arrogant face.
Be in spirits.
He seems to be confident in his own strength.
It's just that in Limulu's eyes, it's a little unbearable to look at directly.
'Kiln ......'
It was at this time.
A soft sound came from a room not far away.
This is a ruined field, and the surrounding houses are all dilapidated thatched huts abandoned by the villagers.
Normally, no one would be here at all.
But after hearing this abnormal voice, the samurai suddenly turned around and smiled evilly.
"Ghost King, give Lao Tzu a !! death"
"What a fool!"
Seeing that this samurai had no brains, he rushed straight forward.
Rimuru showed her form and kicked it away.
At this moment, a figure with a knife appeared from inside the thatched hut and slashed Rimuru.
Just now he noticed that there was an ambush inside.
That's why he stepped forward to save a samurai.
If he hadn't made his own move, he would have been cut off by this knife.
Although, I was also chopped off.
But this kind of injury basically has no effect on me.
However, when Rimuru saw the headless corpse in front of him, he was also taken aback.
He didn't expect that this ambushed person would be a headless corpse!
"Bastard, who kicks ......"
"Dead dead, dead man?!"
"Monsters!! Help me!!! ”
The samurai was terrified when he saw Rimuru, whose wounds were healing, and the headless corpse in front of him.
By the way, his wine also woke up.
I saw him throw down his katana and crawl away from here.
It is completely inconsistent with the previous high-spirited and arrogant attitude.
"Run, run as far as possible."
Seeing the samurai fleeing, Rimuru kicked the headless corpse in front of him with a roundabout kick.
With a huge force, the thatched house in front of him collapsed.
Then came into view a man with a feminine temperament, dressed in white, who was sewing up the disembowelmented corpse.
Around him, there were headless corpses.
Each corpse was male, with traces of stitching on its body.
Among them is a corpse that is particularly eye-catching.
This corpse is wearing the uniform of the Ghost Slayer Team.
The knife in his hand is a Nichiren knife that has been broken in half!
"Yo, it's a lot stronger than that waste just now, and you dare to fight back in the face of me.
Not bad, not bad, as my material for today, enough. ”
As soon as the words fell, the feminine man put down the needle and thread in his hand and stood up gently.
His eyes were slightly red.
The surrounding corpses moved and rushed towards Rimuru.
From the other person's eyes, Rimuru saw a crossed-out 'landing' sign!
Obviously.
This person is the ghost who was kicked out of one of the twelve ghost months!
"It turned out to be the Twelve Ghost Moons, no wonder it gives people a breath, so strange......"
Created the shape of the 'Xuanyuan Sword'.
It was useless for Rimuru to practice his skills, and he directly picked off the hands and feet of the corpse that rushed up.
Anyway, they are all dead people, and he won't care about the other party's feelings.
Dismembering it was disrespectful.
But that's the only way he can make it quiet.
Easily, he also picked up the half-cut Nichicha knife and used his devouring ability to disassemble it.
'The Nichiwa knife was successfully disassembled. ’
With the voice in my head appears.
The 'Xuanyuan Sword' in his hand had an extra layer of blue shell.
This is exactly what the Nichiren knife is made of!
"Who the hell are you! Is it someone from the Ghost Slayer? ”
When he saw Rimuru, he killed more than 30 of his corpse puppets without much effort.
He couldn't sit still, and his expression was a little nervous.
"I'm sorry, I'm just a passing slime and haven't joined the Ghost Slayer yet."
Rimuru tilted her head, smiled harmlessly, and then rushed forward.
"Polar Shadow Slash—"
Dash forward at lightning speed and slash.
Rimuru's blow directly cut off the opponent's arm.
It's just that this former Twelve Ghost Moon reacted quickly.
At the cost of his left arm, he dodged Rimuru's supposed killer blow.
"Bastard!"
Only when the head is cut off by the Nichiren knife will the ghost really die.
Even if his arm is cut off, it will grow on its own.
At this time, he was obviously angry.
I saw that the surroundings were dark and surging.
The silver needle in his hand turned into a long black needle full of rotten smell.
"Try my blood magic!"
"The Ghoul King—"
As he spoke, the ghost actually inserted a needle directly into his forehead.
Seeing this scene, Rimuru suddenly felt a little interesting.
This injection made the opponent's body skyrocket.
The size has increased a circle, and it looks much more domineering than the previous feminine appearance.
"I'm the ghost king who manipulates corpses!"
"My blood ghost magic is invincible! Even that bastard kicked me out of the Twelve Ghost Months because he was afraid of me. ”
"Now you're going to greet the wrath of the Ghost King, human!"
