The stealth slime named Forty-seven moved in the darkness of the cave with silent and alert steps.

The cave that had become that slime home was now in the territory of the Golden King Bear who had suddenly invaded.

The stealth slime still remembered the cave layout that had become its playground since it was a baby slime. The depth of the cave, the contours of the cave rocks, and the cracks in the ground inside the cave had become natural guides like a compass in that slime body.

Pooinngg...

Pooinngg...

The flexible and slippery slime body moved to slip into the gaps in the rough rocks. Following the orders of Slime Commander from a girl who looked cruel and scary, the stealth slime had no choice but to submit to her Soul Tame magic.

After the stealth slime submitted to the girl’s Soul Tame magic. The logical thinking and self-esteem of the stealth slime monster had grown inside it.

A monster that was feared because of its presence, which was difficult to detect, had become a frightening specter that should be carried out by stealth slime herd. But that was in contrast to this herd who were careless and easily provoked by ordinary bear monsters until their numbers decreased because they died in disgrace.

Bearing the burden of humiliation, most of the stealth slime herd formed a contract with the girl who insulted them even more. The fact about humiliation of the stealth slime became their fire of passion to take revenge on the cave where they lived along with the hostage-taking of the stealth slime herd who followed the hierarchy of the King and Queen of Slimes.

Unlike the offensive slimes who had extraordinary magic cores in their bodies, stealth slimes had different duties within the slime group. They only acted to be invisible to others and monitor the movements of a monster from a distance as stealth as possible.

Pooinnggg...

Find adventures at empire

Pooinggg...

"I have to hurry to find them and report this incident to my Slime Queen!" the stealth slime shouted while accelerating its body speed as it slipped on the sharp rocks of the cave.

Swwiipp...

Sliippp...

Spllaasshh...

With slippery and agile movements, the stealth slime moved quickly without leaving any slime traces according to the orders given by the girl who became the Slime Commander for the time being.

Using her body’s ability to disguise herself as rocks, the stealth slime was able to outwit the routine patrols of the Golden King Bear herd.

The stealth slime’s sensitive night vision in the darkness of the cave and her body’s senses which were undoubtedly very sensitive to changes in temperature had made her much more dangerous than a hundred slimes moving to kill the Golden King Bear herd in turns.

The more the stealth slime walked through the cave, that slime entered a small rock gap that was a shortcut from the cave labyrinth. That slimy round slime body was formed into a flat shape and forced the slippery slime inside her body out as a lubricant, the stealth slime forced its way into the small gap.

Plooppp...

Poomm... Poomm...

"Huuaa!! Finally got in!" said the stealth slime after entering a small gap in the narrow rocks that made its slime body small and flat.

Poomm...

Returning its slime body shape to be round as before, the stealth slime resumed its small activity of sneaking around and taking information as a spy who knew the layout of the cave where it lived.

The small gap in the rocks was a shortcut that only it knew. The shape of the deepest part of the cave which was winding like a maze was the result of the worker slime who was ordered to design maze at the deepest part of the cave.

Rather than exploring the cave maze that had traps and complicated structures, the stealth slime designed a shortcut for itself. The shortcut that it made in the past timeline had become useful because it managed to sneak into the deepest part of the cave.

In the deepest part of the cave, a reflection of moonlight was seen on the source of the water spring that formed a lake inside the cave. Unlike the flow of water that had been the entrance for previous infiltrations, the source of the water spring came from rainwater that had settled into the cave.

"Oh, how beautiful..." the stealth slime was stunned by the natural beauty displayed in front of its slime body.

Brrtt...

Pooinngg...

Feeling that it did not have time to enjoy the natural beauty, the stealth slime continued its work to sneak further into the cave.

In the deepest part of the cave, the stealth slime felt a surge of mana detected in its sensitive slime body. The slime’s body filled with slippery mucus trembled as it felt a large surge of magical energy and a painful density of mana that contaminated the air around it.

Sensing the abnormality, the stealth slime immediately connected itself to the Soul Tame communication network.

Piinggg...

Pooingg...

"Commander!!" with its small slime cry, the stealth slime shouted to attract the attention of its Slime Commander.

"Oh, you’ve re-entered the Soul Tame communication network. Is there any good news from your separate infiltration?" replied Lily who seemed to be relaxing and enjoying the hot warzone situation from a distance.

"Commander, is it just me, or do you seem very relaxed in a situation like this?"

"Hey, I’m not relaxing! Didn’t you hear that the other stealth slimes are hiding after the patrol group from the Golden King Bear found the bodies of their comrades?"

"Uhhh…" The stealth slime’s body suddenly shrank after hearing Lily’s cold answer and question who was wearing a serious expression.

"I’m not relaxing! I’m busy organizing your movements! Who had the idea to form a maze inside the cave? I want to praise them because it makes it easier for me to lure them into the trap that you all have prepared!"

"Ahh… C-Commander… I want to report the results of my successful infiltration into the deepest part of the cave," not wanting to disrupt the communication network for the other stealth slimes, that stealth slime reported briefly about its condition after successfully penetrating the deepest part of the cave.

"You managed to enter the deepest part of the cave? I wanted to ask about the route but it’s not important now. Is there anything else you want to report?" Lily’s busy voice made the stealth slime hesitate a little to express its discovery.

"I can feel a large surge of energy in the deepest part of the cave," the stealth slime reported quickly.

"A large surge of magical energy? That’s terrible..." Lily replied while focusing on the personal communication network with the stealth slime.

A small magic energy circle appeared again in front of the stealth slime’s body.

Piiippp...

"Slime forty-seven, can you feel the signal for help from the King and Queen Slime?" Lily asked while forming a personal communication network drom Soul Tame.

"C-Commander? Ah! I can feel their signal for help!" The stealth slime flinched when it received a personal communication network from Soul Tame.

Poongg...

Ppooiinngg...

The stealth slime’s body trembled and tried to activate its skill that was able to feel the signal for help assisted by its body’s sensitivity and was able to feel the overflow of magic energy.

Guided by its body’s instincts that felt a large surge of magic energy, the stealth slime moved slowly by changing its body shape into rocks.

"That was pretty good camouflage technique, slime forty-seven. I didn’t expect you to think of that in a cave that had such dim light."

"Of course, I have to be careful with this camouflage because the Golden King Bear can destroy my body with one blow from its heavy hand, Commander!"

"Well, I can’t blame your weak bodies. Even with a sweep of Golden King Bear fart wind, your weak slime body can die in peaces."

"Uhhh, it’s so annoying because I can’t deny it."

Lily’s derogatory remarks to the stealth slime seemed to make the little slime realize how weak its body was when facing the Golden King Bear directly.

Unlike the other stealth slimes who accepted the insult with an open heart, this stealth slime already knew the limits of its abilities and considered the remarks given by its Slime Commander as a reality that it had to go through.

Pooinggg...

Pooiinggg...

The steep rocks in the deepest part of the cave were suddenly replaced by smooth rocks that seemed flat and parallel to the straight ground.

"Huh? Why is there a building like that in your cave?" Lily asked after seeing a building in the cave inhabited by a herd of stealth slimes.

"That is a legacy from our ancestors, Commander. A sacred place that is the main residence of the King and Queen of Slimes," the stealth slime replied while changing its body shape to be flat like the rocks on the cave wall.

"Hmm, not only can you sneak this far. You can also improvise your disguise by blending in with your surroundings. Aren’t you one smart stealth slime?"

"I-I’m not as smart as the seven pillar leaders of the stealth slime, Commander," hearing Lily’s praise, the stealth slime almost showed its presence while disguising itself as a cave wall.

"Don’t be so modest. Your ability to sneak around as a spy is far more terrifying. Ohh! Want to be my pet slime? I can train you to become a slime that is greater than your seven pillar leaders!"

Poiiinnggg...

Brrttt...

Poommm...

The tempting offer had changed the shape of the stealth slime’s body into a ball before returning to being flat and disguising itself as a cave wall again.

"P-Please don’t make such a sudden offer, Commander!" Holding back its behavior that almost released its camouflage ability, the stealth slime continued to walk into the building inside its cave residence.

When the stealth slime’s steps approached the building that caught Lily’s attention, its body felt the overflow of magical energy made it tremble in fear.

With the courage to get information, the stealth slime forced itself to peek.

Choompp...

Kraauukk...

Inside the building that was getting the reflection of the moonlight, a bear with a golden crown on top was seen. Its size which was as tall as three floors of a house had caught Lily’s attention.

Its large body that was facing away from the stealth slime seemed to be eating something hard and producing an unpredictable surge of magical energy.

Choommmp...

Kraauukkk...

Just by looking at the surge of magical energy, the stealth slime froze and couldn’t move.

"Oh, no, it seems that the Golden King Bear is eating the magic cores of your King and Queen Slimes," Lily said in a flat tone.

"Get out of that underground building quickly!" Lily ordered after knowing the level of danger of the Golden King Bear is one of the most feared in Adventure Guild Scale.

It was in a Calamity Level Disaster.
