Or he just finished whatever he was working on while acting as if he was probing…

Looking at the blue domain that trapped me in, I could only gape; what the actual hell was this!?

[Humans who eat too much gain weight, the body's way of storing extra energy. Slimes are no different in this subject, though they gain weight a lot quicker. My advice? Get the fuck out of there.]

Just my luck…

My expression turned grim, there wasn't any escape, the possibility of slicing my way out wasn't even on the table; I would be killed before I got ten feet near it.

Flinging out of the blue thick domain, I flew back as the tendrils surrounded me, the echo of the timer ticking down reverberating within my ear.

[Get out of there idiot!]

Flying back with higher speed, I could only watch as dozens of blue tentacles slowly reached towards my figure, their sharp ends being clear on their intent.

[I swear to the almighty! If you don't get out of there Sato, I will request to isekai you again just to kill you!]

I could feel overwhelming calmness sweep through me, I was calmer than I've ever been; was this what people near death felt like? Tranquility with a single ding resounding in your ears?

How… beautiful.

[Quest Completed!]

With a pleasant smile, I raised my hand, one eye reading the new skill. If the Gamer System gave it to me, then it should be enough to kill it; all I have to do is… trust her.

Gripping onto the potion I received, and with much effort and pain I gulped its contents down my throat.; the warm liquid tickling and drying my throat.

It was a pity it had to be used this way.

"Soul Subduement"

Placing a single palm out against the tentacles, I let the cold sensation within my body out, the loud screeching of the Slime was enough to know the immense pain it was in.

Good.

As a silvery phantom ball began to extract itself from the monster, I gave a harsh pull as the large and soon compressed ball landed on my palm, a tingly warm sensation invading my limb at the feeling of holding a soul.

[CRIT! Double Damage!]

[Weak Soul! Double Damage!]

[1,136 DMG Dealt!]

[Boss Killed!]

What followed after was a continuous number of notifications, the gold letters emboldened by black filling my vision as I grinned. The Soul in my hand trembled as I looked at it with interest.

"Observe"

[Rare Soul] 

[The soul of a ferocious being, can be used in many applications.

Rarity: Rare]

Frowning at the vague given details I toss it in my Inventory, I can experiment later; but for now I have another priority that needs to be handled before I leave.

Eying the corpses of the remaining zombies, a satisfied smile encroaches my face.

….

Seated in his chair, dark velvet wine in hand as Doku watched his son enter the manor during the night; his clothes riddled with dust and mud, he could only narrow his eyes at the sight.

What drew his attention wasn't the filthy state his son was in, nor was it the fact that the shy and fragile Tsuki suddenly turned into a charming young boy. No, it was the fact that demonic energy was coming from his body in waves.

The entire manor practically bathed in his energy, but how could he possibly reach such a height through a day of training? More so with considering his inexperience.

There wasn't any conceivable factor that allowed one to reach such heights with no guidance.

He would be sure to monitor him…

His son was intelligent, far so when he himself was at the tender age. Tsuki could have discovered a secret Doku's father left that even he wasn't aware of. Despite the fact he had been monitoring Tsuki every morning in the Library which told him otherwise; it was the only sensible explanation.

"Please inform Tsuki to meet me out in the training fields tomorrow morning" He casually informed a maid, his finger pressing a golden button that transferred his voice over.

Sometimes human technology was useful, they might be idiots but they were good at being lazy.

Leaning back in his chair, he ran a hand through his black wisps of hair, his mind deep in thought as he stared at the ward recording of Tsuki leaving and entering.

….

Something was wrong.

Entering my room I couldn't shake the feeling of uneasiness, the feeling of being watched creeping up once more. I could only tense from the familiar situation as a dainty palm softly grasped my shoulder.

"Young master, you al-" Jumping in shock at the palm and words, my reaction causes the maid to stumble back and into a vase as it fell to the ground; the red intricate flowery patterned pottery shattering upon impact.

Softly grasping her waist and pulling her up; I allowed an apologetic smile to settle in place. It really was my fault for being too tense and paranoid.

"Sorry about that, you just caught me by surprise" Seeing the proximity between us, the young maid known as Sakura felt her face flush. They were only a few years apart, with Tsuki being fifteen and her being seventeen, and yet she could definitely call the young teen beautiful.

If only Tsuki knew her thoughts, he wouldn't be holding a smile.

Crouching down and picking up the large pieces, I extend a hand out to stop her as I watch her attempt to help.

"No need, wouldn't want you to bleed, now would we?" She hesitantly nodded as I cleaned and dumped away the broken remains of the porcelain.
