Thinking of Hilichook's clones, Rimuru felt that each one was as powerful as the original. He really didn't know how he did it.

Even if there was only one, this skill would still seem like a huge offense to the opponent. After all, this ability could create a clone with the same physical properties as the original, including attack power and defense.

Let’s talk about the entity of mimicry.

Even though his physical strength was only comparable to that of a child, he was still more agile than a slime. Because of this, Rimuru would tire more easily, but this was a necessary price to pay.

The most important point is that it does not require the use of black fog and does not consume magic energy.

It's so convenient!

Rimuru planned to act like this from now on.

At this moment, Rimuru suddenly had an idea and immediately gave the order to his clone. It felt as if he was moving his own body, very smooth.

The black fog came out and the clone began to grow!

A slender figure appeared. Then came flowing silver hair. And a beautiful androgynous face.

perfect!

Then he changed his clone into a female and then a male.

Build muscle, become fat, or become a middle-aged or elderly person.

Now it can be confirmed that the clone can transform into various states.

The principle is the same as using black fog to mimic a monster. As long as the deficiencies are made up, it can even mimic an adult.

Perhaps it could be used to increase muscle strength. Reaction speed would decrease, but the larger the body, the stronger it would be.

Although, Rimuru personally believes that "speed is the most crucial factor in battle!"

After that, he conducted various experiments to confirm the capabilities of his new body.

Half an hour later, Rimuru finally let Qiu Wenjian in.

"Qiuqiu, how about doing me a favor?"

Seeing Qiu Wenjian's expression not looking right, Rimuru was a little confused, but since Qiu Wenjian didn't say anything on his own initiative, Rimuru didn't take it seriously.

"What favor? Do you want me to help you with your training?"

"?"

"Forget it, you don't understand the world I live in. Life is so lonely..."

“That’s why you talk to yourself.”

"Wow, please stop talking about this, okay? I feel pretty ashamed too."

"Okay, okay, I just want you to help me try out your skills."

Chapter 337 Chapter 22: No Explanation, Too Much Misunderstanding

[Rimuru's Perspective]

I went back to the cave at the beginning with Qiuqiu and asked him to help me test some skills.

It’s really powerful. My skills are quite impressive.

But Qiuqiu is more powerful... Many skills can't cause any damage to him at all.

As soon as I left the cave, I noticed a fight going on.

The flow of magic energy caused the atmosphere to tremble.

Even though the barbecue was calling me, I couldn't ignore the situation.

I gave up on throwing myself into the barbecue and started running towards the direction where the magic energy was rushing.

I saw——

A fierce battle is taking place there.

After arriving at the battlefield, screams immediately reached my ears.

It's Gobda.

He was fighting a white-haired old ogre, but his opponent was too strong. Logically, aging should have made the ogre weak and slow, but his lower body movements and sword wielding method did not seem like that of an amateur.

On the other hand, Gobda is a complete layman. It's hard to praise him for being able to survive until now.

He made great movements to evade, trying to find a way to deal with the enemy. However, no matter how good his luck was, it would eventually run out under such a huge disparity in strength.

The white-haired old ogre approached Gobda in the blink of an eye, and Gobda was hit by him, and a large hole was cut in his chest. All this happened before my eyes.

"Ah—it hurts! I'm going to die. I'm definitely going to die if I keep going like this!"

Gobda rolled on the ground, wailing loudly.

The fact that they're still arguing like this means nothing serious is wrong. From what I can see, that attack just now wasn't meant to kill Gobda.

The white-haired old ogre noticed me approaching and planned to paralyze Gobda first, that's all.

"Calm down, the wound is very shallow."

“Ah, isn’t this Rimuru-sama? You came here because you were worried about me, right?”

"Well, I guess so. You seem to be full of energy, so you probably don't need any recovery medicine."

"Wait, I want it! I'm sorry, I shouldn't have joked!"

He was really spirited. Perhaps he was just rolling away on his own instinct, minimizing the damage.

It was really annoying to hear him making such a fuss, so I poured some healing potion on Gobda. One was enough.

While I was treating Gobda, the white-haired old ogre remained motionless. He was observing me. This guy is a tough guy.

Many Blade Goblin warriors and Stormfang Wolves fell around them. It seemed like everyone was still alive. It was no easy feat to suppress so many without getting hurt. It was probably done with magic.

In the distance, a purple-haired female ogre was fighting with Liguru.

Things are not looking good here either.

The iron club, like a block of iron—the iron club swung with the ogre's hand movements, seemingly possessing a strange strength, struck Riguru's sword, twisting and turning. His wooden shield was broken, and it was only a matter of time before he was fatally wounded.

As soon as Ranga saw me he rushed to my side.

“Rimuru-sama, I’m deeply sorry. Even with my subordinates accompanying me, I still made things so awkward—”

Langa was about to apologize to me, but I stopped him midway. It wasn't Langa's fault; the opponent was just too strong.

They are the advanced race living in the Jura Forest - the "ogres".

The ogres are very powerful, and the Knife Goblins are no match for them.

"Everyone, stop fighting."

I calmly gave orders to Riguru and the others.

Ligurus then noticed me and immediately dropped his sword. The purple-haired ogre made no move to attack Ligurus, instead staring at me with amusement.

Her body was large and muscular, yet well-proportioned. Judging by her prominent breasts, she must be a woman. Surprisingly, she was even more beautiful than expected.

I gave another order to Langa, asking him to bring back the exhausted Ligru.

The ogres remained wary of me, and perhaps that's why they didn't intervene.

“Rimuru-sama… I’m sorry…”

Ligur's body was covered in wounds, and he was gasping for breath. With his strength hovering around the edge of B-rank, he had no chance of winning against the purple-haired female ogre.

"Don't worry. Leave the rest to me. You can take your time to rest."

After that, I gave Riguru some healing potion. His injuries weren't serious, so he should recover quickly.

"Langa, what happened to the guys lying around?"

"Yes, they—"

According to Langa's explanation, they seemed to be under a spell. It seemed to be a sleeping spell, and they fell asleep without being able to resist. It wasn't serious. Fortunately, it wasn't a spell that would cause chaos.

If they fall into chaos and start killing each other, things will be bad.

That being said, magic is still troublesome...

Now a tough enemy appears.

I calmed down and observed my opponent.

There are six enemies in total.

They subverted my preconceived notion of ogres and are an incredible group.

He looked like a down-and-out samurai, but his clothes were perfectly dressed. I'd assumed a ghost would be topless with a tiger skin tied around their waist, but that couldn't be further from the truth.

As for their physique, they were all in good shape, as I expected. But I was surprised to see that they were all wearing clothes.

Even though they're monsters, the ogres are actually wearing armor? In other words, they're intelligent and can use magic, making them even more dangerous than humans.

Comparing monsters of the same level, the threat they pose differs greatly depending on whether they have intelligence or not.

What’s more, the opponent is a high-level race.

In their normal state, they were already monsters beyond B-rank. They were wearing equipment and working together, so even Langa was in danger of being killed.

The weapons they carry are also of concern.

Even goblins trade with dwarves, so it's no surprise that ogres can get weapons. However, if the weapon is a sword, the situation is different. This is because the weapons made by dwarves are mainly Western swords, which are used for slashing.

The white-haired old ogre who was confronting Gobda was holding some kind of weapon that looked like a Japanese sword.

He was quite skilled and must be an expert in swordsmanship.

Possessing the strength of ogres, the technology of humans, and the ability to use magic, it's easy to imagine they're dangerous.

The peach-haired female ogre seemed to be a magician, and the clothes she wore were more gorgeous than those of the others.

A closer look revealed a very charming, well-proportioned face. Her every move was dignified and graceful, a truly elegant ogre.

She stands out among this group of ogres and should be called the Ghost Princess.

However, the red-haired ogre is more dangerous than her.

"This monster looks so evil! Everyone be careful!"

I was observing this group of ogres when the peach-haired female ogre suddenly started shouting.

There was a look of fear and tension on her face.

His gaze fell squarely on me, so he was probably talking about me...

"Hey, hey, hey, pause for a moment. You actually called me an evil monster?"

"Are you trying to confuse us? You can even control those evil guys. How can ordinary people have such ability? You put on human skin, suppress the demonic energy, and use some mediocre skills! You think you can fool us like this!"

"Don't even think about escaping Her Royal Highness's discerning eyes. Reveal your true identity now!"

"The mastermind took the initiative, which suits my needs. They're outnumbered, so we have a chance of winning."

The peach-haired ogre addressed as Her Royal Highness the Princess interrupted me harshly. This statement served as a trigger point, and both the black-haired and white-haired ogres joined in. It seemed they weren't prepared to listen to my explanation.

Later I took some time to clarify, saying that it was all a misunderstanding, but they still wouldn't listen.

No matter what I said, they firmly believed that I was not a good person, and there was no intersection between the two sides.

finally--

"That's enough. Since he won't tell the truth, we'll use force to force him to speak. We must make him tell us what his connection is to the evil pig monster that attacked our tribe!"

The red-haired ogre yelled angrily.

Although I have no idea what he is talking about, it seems that fighting is inevitable.

Since they were determined to fight, I had no choice but to join them. It would have been easy for me to escape alone, but there were still the Knife Goblins and Stormfang Wolves sleeping soundly around me.

I'm not so heartless as to abandon these guys and run away.

"Rimuru-sama, what should we do now?"

Ranga asked.
