In a dark cave dimly lit by phosphorescence moss one could see two beings walking, one was an emerald green ball that jumped and the other was a young man with silvery black hair who appeared to be ready to topple at any moment to get some much needed sleep.
These were Rimuru and Seth, ever since Rimuru got the Bat's vocal cords, he did not shut up about how practical they were, thus resulting in Seth's current state, a few days without a good night's sleep and stuck with a chatterbox is a doozy for anyone.
over the past few days they found some monsters as they continued to search for the exit.
*Flashback
"Oh today is a spider it seems" says Seth at the sight of the great spider and its front mandibles
"Well, your turn to deal with it now," says Rimuru.
Seth not having anything to retort with strode closer to the spider and extended his hand forward, then his circuits begins to activate, 1,2,3, .7 circuits shine and his index finger begins to glow
Rimuru sees him doing something in the air and soon after he hears not too loudly
[Ansuz] said Seth while making a rune in the air, then the spider starts to blaze
"What was that?" Rimuru questioned curiously
"Runes, one of the powers I got" Seth replies watching the spider burn slowly
"can I learn how to do this?" asks Rimuru watching the spider burn with Seth
"I do not know," Seth replies, "I kind of received the knowledge imprinted upon my mind, But I think you'd better throw some water on the spider, it seems like I've used too much magic in this Rune and it's going to turn to dust soon, and then you will miss your chance to use [Predation]"
"Wh-What? Say that sooner you idiot" says Rimuru while running desperately to throw water on the spider
(acquired skills: [sticky silk] and [steel silk])
So the days went by, after that a snake and spider several other monsters were seen attacking them at times, but they were all defeated.
Until finally they arrive at the exit of the cave.
As you leave the cave you can see beautiful vegetation, birds, and huge trees
"It's beautiful," says Rimuru as he contemplates the scenery.
"In our world there was no forest like this," Seth said as he saw Rimuru's reaction, "Well, come on," said Seth, who started leading the way out of the cave
Two days passed quickly with the two wandering through the forest.
"It sounds pretty peaceful," Rimuru said when he realized that they had not been attacked by any monsters for two days
As a trigger for their misfortune, within minutes of those words a small group of wolves suddenly appeared silently staring at them.
"Seth, I've found food," Rimuru said, and turned to Seth to see him sleeping as he stood on a tree, "Well I think I can handle three wolves," Rimuru thought.
What Rimuru did not realize was that by the time he had turned to call Seth the wolves had already fled
"Well now what" said Rimuru upon realizing that they had fled, Rimuru then went to the side of Seth to wait for him to wake up.
But what he did not expect is that several goblins suddenly appeared
"Heey, Seth, Seth wake up fast, there are several goblins here and I do not know if I can keep them alive, Heeeey Seth wake up at once," shouted Rimuru in despair, giving up, he turned his attention to the goblins.
Although they wore armor and swords, they were all sloppy and were in tatters, their bodies were thin and malnourished with barely any muscle on them.
"They're goblins, I can try to communicate with them, I guess, or at least in some books I read they could," Rimuru thought, seeing that Seth was not going to wake up, '[Great sage] can I communicate with them even though I do not know their tongue?' asked Rimuru
(Answer: By using [magic perception] sound waves carrying meaning are automatically translated, in addition how they manage to understand you is also the same, sending sounds with your thoughts you can communicate with them without needing the vocal organ of the bat)
'You could have told me this before [Great Sage]' Rimuru replies, 'Well let's try' he thought
"IT'S THE FIRST TIME I HAVE SEEN GOBLINS, I AM SLIME RIMURU AND THAT IS MY FRIEND SETH, DO YOU NEED SOMETHING FROM US?" said Rimuru as following as [Great Sage] had explained
What he did not expect was that then all the goblins would suddenly fall to their knees.
"Strong guga, we understand each other, please speak lower" said one of the goblins
'[Great Sage], what exactly just happened?' asked Rimuru confused
(Answer: The thought of the individual Rimuru is too strong for the goblins)
'Ah that makes sense' thought Rimuru, "I'm sorry I'm not used to speaking to other races yet" Rimuru said.
"No need to apologize," said the goblin from before
"So, do you need anything from us?" asked Rimuru
"We felt two very strong demon auras going towards the village so we came to check" said the goblin
"Hm? Strong demon aura? I did not feel anything with my [magical perception]" says Rimuru confused
"Guga you do not have to be humble, we know you are strong" said another goblin looking at Seth and Rimuru in sequence
'Hey [great sage]' calls Rimuru asking for answers
(Answer: There are no demons with greater demonic aura than the individual Rimuru and Seth in an area of 100 meters)
'Ah that makes sense, but I do not remember me or Seth being emitting a demonic Aura' thought Rimuru, '[Great Sage] change the view of the [magical perception], I want to look at me and Seth'
"AAAHHHH" shouts Rimuru surprised to see Seth's demonic aura and his, "That's bad, there's something coming out of me," grumbled Rimuru
"Hahahaha, you got me, if we did not release our aura the monsters could come after us," Rimuru said as an excuse and then stopped issuing his Demonic Aura, "So you need something from us? way "said Rimuru
At that moment Seth awakens and looks at the confused scene in front of him, "Rimuru you made a lot of friends while I slept in" said Seth
"Oh Seth you finally woke up, these guys here invited us to go to their village" said Rimuru while introducing the goblins
Seth and Rimuru followed the goblins to their village, during the walk Rimuru warned Seth about suppressing his demonic Aura since it was affecting the goblins. With a bit of difficulty and practise Seth managed to retract his aura.
