Chapter 2 - I Used Magic

I Used Magic

“...Isn’t there usually a limit to taming?”

And yet I somehow managed to tame 80 slimes.

This really was a game within a dream. The system was pretty horrible.

...Well, it didn’t really matter how many you tamed. These were slimes after all.

I mean...

“Can you guys do anything? Like fighting?”

I said as I looked at the slimes.

And the slimes promptly...averted their eyes.

“...You guys...”

It looked like fighting wasn’t for them.

Well, none of them really looked like they had any intention of fighting ever since I saw them.

With that settled...a bell rang inside of my brain again.

I checked my status...

—————————

Familiar Magic and Support Magic had been added.

My MP was increasing when I wasn’t even doing anything.

What the hell was happening here?

I looked at a nearby slime...and the answer hit me.

The slime was reading a book.

“Wait...you guys can read books for me?”

The slimes began to jiggle in reply.

They were confirming my suspicion.

And somehow, I could tell that they were happy about it as well.

And like that, the slimes began to read the other books in the building.

These books continued to have titles that only a Chunibyo could have invented, like ‘Secret Book of Immortality’ and ‘Forbidden Arts of Snow and Ice’... But I was gaining skills.

And I didn’t even need to read.

Ultimately, my skills ended up looking like this:

—————————-

Yuji

—————————

My status had grown significantly and I had two new skills.

Also, for some reason, I had a new job. ‘Sage.’

“...Can I really use magic?”

I guess I could try using one that looked safe.

And since there were a lot of slimes here, how about the Familiar Magic... What kind of magic can it do?

As soon as I wondered this, the words ‘Shared Senses,’ ‘Monster Buff,’ ‘Attack Transfer,’ and ‘Protection’ entered my head.

I think...it was a list of skills I could use.

It was a rather thorough system for a dream.

No, it was because it was a dream. Creating this system in real life would probably be very expensive.

I thought about this as I selected ‘Shared Senses.’

And then...my head was filled with a different image to what I had been seeing.

Apparently, I was able to see what the slime was looking at.

It was a very strange sensation.

In any case, I was hungry.

And since there was no food here, I would have to relocate.

“Hey! All of you, follow me!”

I said, and then the scattered slimes all gathered together close to me.

But...they all looked so weak.

I had a feeling that they would all be massacred in a second if a strong monster showed up.

And I kind of felt bad for them...

As soon as I thought this, the words ‘Slime Combine,’ appeared in my head.

“...Slime Combine.”

I said. And then all of the slimes came together at a single point...and transformed into one big slime.

I see. So that’s what it meant by ‘Combine.’

And if they could combine...?

“Separate.”

I said. And the slimes came apart and returned to normal.

It didn’t count all of them, but it was probably the same as before they transformed.

“Combine.”

I said, and the slimes combined once again.

Perhaps it was because of the size, but it did seem a little stronger now.

I would keep it in this form for a while.

I decided this and then left the building.

“Hey, you guys. Do you know of any place that has food?”

I asked the slimes.

The slimes began to jiggle when they heard this question.

Well, it seemed like they were trying to tell me something.

...Unfortunately, I was not proficient in Slime.

Then it happened...the following words appeared in my head.

‘Tamer Skill: Mutual Understanding.’

Apparently, it was magic that would allow me to understand the monsters that I have tamed.

I activated it and immediately started to hear the voice of the slimes.

“Master...over there.”

“You can eat those leaves.”

“This grass is tasty.”

It seemed that the slime still had separate personalities even when combined.

There was only one body, but numerous slimes were talking at once. It was a little weird.

...However, grass and leaves, huh?...

I am in a dream of all places. I should be able to eat better than that.

“...Is there no rice or meat around here? I mean, what about a town?”

“Town?”

“Master. What is a town?”

Hmmm. They didn’t know what a town was.

Also...

“For now, how about we stop with the ‘master’ thing?”

“No, master?”

“Yes, if you can bear it.”

I wasn’t used to being called that, and it felt weird.

“Alright...Boss!”

“Boss...that makes me sound like a bandit. Try a different one.”

“Lord.”

“Nope. Ahh...just call me by my name. I’m Yuji.”

“Alright. Yuji.”

Good.

I was saved from having to be called master by all these slimes.

When that was settled, the slimes started to get excited.

“Yuji, there is a dragon.”

“It looks strong! Run away!”

“Over there! Over there!’

The slimes said as they started to run away.

However...they were too slow.

“Gyaaah!!!”

“Here it comes!!!”

The slimes shrieked as they crept away in a ball.

Right then, the trees in the area were blown away.

And I was blown away with them.

“...What?”

I said stupidly as I flew through the air and crashed into a tree.

Normally, crashing into a tree at this speed would mean death...but this was a dream. My back did hurt, but I wasn’t injured.

...Oh? Pain?

I thought you didn’t feel pain in dreams?

As I wondered about this, the thing that had blown me away and that was destroying the forest came into view.

...It was a dragon.

And it was over 10 meters in length.

At that size, it was no wonder it was able to blow away the trees as if they were twigs.

“Are-are you serious...?”

Yes, I did say that I wanted some meat...but I don’t remember asking for this monster as well.

But if I had the magic, there was a possibility I could roast it and eat it...

If it would only work like the Tamer skills.

As I wondered this...the magic list appeared in front of me.

There were too many that I could not see all of them...but there were a few names I recognized.

I was quite sure that it was displaying the skills that were in that book I read, Magic Book on the Annihilation of the Soul.

Maybe I would be able to use them like the Tamer skills.

And so I searched for a skill that seemed like it would be strong.

It did not take long.

‘Hellfire of Death.’ Yes, that sounded very strong.

I would try using this one for now.

“Alright... ‘Hellfire of Death.’”

Just as I chanted the name...my vision turned red.

In front of me now was a pillar of fire that was so huge that it swallowed up the dragon.

No, not only the dragon, it was powerful enough to destroy the entire forest that I could see.

“Kyaaaa!”

The slimes shrunk with fear at the sight.

Thankfully, they were on the other side of the pillar of fire, and so they were not harmed.

And...half a minute later.

The scene in front of me, as far as my eyes could see, was no longer a forest but empty land.

The slimes that had escaped the danger were now huddled around my feet.

The dragon who had attacked us was nowhere to be seen...but there were some bones on the ground.

On close inspection, they did kind of look like they came from the dragon.

...Oh?

So I was able to kill dragons just like that?
