Chapter 78 : A generous login and confession of love

"Hah, huh, huh... Looks like you won," Aratao said, lying on the ground and breathing hard.

Arata was weaker than Rimuru in terms of statistics, so he was not in a good position in a battle of attrition, but he chose it so that he could copy Rimuru's skills, and it was a great success as he was able to copy many of his skills.

"Then tell me how I can get a human body." Rimuru asked excitedly, not forgetting to cast Full Potion on him to help him recover.

"This is a simple thing. All you have to do is swallow a human and you can emulate it." - Arata said as he retrieved the body of the Elve from Stroage, who had been killed by Arata when he tried to attack him and Shizu while they were wandering in the forest - "Here you can eat this and you will... "You can turn into a human."

"Also, you don't need to feel guilty since the law of this world is the survival of the fittest, and this person was weaker than me and tried to tell me," Arata simply added upon seeing Rimuru's shock and hesitation in devouring the Elve's corpse.

"Survival of the fittest..." Rimuru murmured, remembering his conversation with Veldora in the cave and how he had mentioned this matter to him.

With some hesitation, Rimuru's body expanded and surrounded the corpse on the ground before swallowing it whole and returning to its round and spherical shape.

After a moment, Rimuru's body expanded vertically before beginning to take on a human form.

Rimuru's human form did not change from the anime, as he had silvery-blue hair and a pair of golden eyes, and he looked like a six or seven-year-old child.

"Put this on," Arata said and threw his cloak towards Rimuru to hide his naked body.

"Thank you..." - Rimuru said and focused on examining his new body as he did not expect to be able to have a human body in this life and expected to remain as a Slime until his death.

"You're welcome" - Arata said and looked at Shizu - "Do you have some time? There is something I want to talk about with you."

"Okay..." Shizu nodded seeing Arata's seriousness.

Upon seeing Shizu's gesture, Arata quickly walked towards Veldora Cave to get some privacy, plus the place contained a large amount of Magicules, which was important for what he wanted to do.

But how did he know the location of Veldora Cave?

Of course he asked the great sage as he still retained the information since he was Rimuru's skill and that's why he knew Veldora Cave so well.

While the two were gone, Rimuru kept examining his body and seeing how it was different from his previous body.

_

Veldora Cave.

'Sign in' - Arata commanded his mind as he made an agreement with the system to give him more rewards for every day he did not log in.

[Congratulations on logging into Veldora Cave and obtaining...

 True dragon core, Part of the Shadow Monarch's power, Spell Theory Knowledge for Anos Voldigoad]

[True dragon core merger is underway... 0.001%...]

[The integration will take a long time, so it is recommended that the host system evolve as it will speed up the integration process.]

After notifying the system, Arata quickly felt his power rising rapidly, in addition to that there were many magical knowledge in his head and soon he heard the voice of the scientist.

[Notice: The unique skill library has been obtained]

[Notice: Unique skill set obtained: Shadow Extraction, Shadow Preservation, Shadow Exchange, Monarch's Domain, Ruler's Authority]

[A/N: Even if he has all the skills of the Shadow Monarch, it has limitations. In addition, it is not as powerful as its true power, as it is just a part of the Shadow Monarch's power]

"Did something happen..." Shizu asked in confusion as they entered the cave.

Upon hearing Shizu, Arata ignored the system and focused on the most important thing.

"I will be direct..." - Rata said as he took off Shizu's mask and stared into her black eyes with seriousness and command like a king - "I will save you."

"..." - Shizu was surprised by the change in Arata's demeanor, in addition to knowing what was happening to her.

"I am not asking your permission for this, but I am just telling you my decision, and no matter what you say, I will do what I want." Arata said, and he had decided this matter during his fight with Rimuru, as he was not the type to hesitate or care about the opinions of others, as he had always He does what he wants without caring about the opinions of others.

"Why..." - Even though she was shocked, she couldn't help but wonder since she didn't know why Arata would want to save her when she was someone he had only met recently.

"Because I love you!" - Arata said seriously as he stared at Shizu's face, which was surprised before it turned red.

"I didn't tell you this because I wanted you to feel uncomfortable or something. I only told you since you asked why. Plus, you don't need to worry as I will make you fall in love with me." - Arata said seriously and quickly started working to save Shizu since he was He had already thought of a method and needed to copy the Predator to implement it.

"Now stop resisting and let that idiot Ifrit come out to meet his end." Arata said and was ready to use the Predator to devour Ifrit and crush him into pure spiritual energy.

Arata was going to use the same method he used to strengthen himself by devouring the Ghoul, but this time it would be quick, as by using the Predator he would be able to destroy the Ifrit ego more easily, in addition to the fact that the presence of the Great Sage would help him a lot.

[A/N: As for the change in Arata's personality, this is due to the fact that he is a devil, as he has become more honest and loyal to his desires. In addition, as a devil, he embodies the sin of pride, even though he suppresses his pride most of the time]

Shizu did not know if it was because of the safety she felt from Arata or because she was tired from struggling all this time, but she did not hesitate and gave up all resistance and allowed Ifrit to control her and get out.

Soon a pillar of crimson flame rose with Shizu being the center of it and his magiculs rising to an extremely dangerous level.
