Slime In Modern World [ON HOLD]

Tower Of Challenge

After ranga went back to tempest, i proceed to get out from the subway, once i reach outside i found ciel who is waiting for me

<Greeting master> ciel said while sightly lower head down

"Um, so what are you doing out there?" Since ciel suit is full of blood trace i got curious

<I was just having some> responded ciel while walking beside me

"Is that so? Ah! Before i forget give me some points" this time i'm for sure not gonna fall for those shitty bastards scam

<As you wish> and just like that i got my points back

<Master, you do know that after we passed this qualification stage, we got reward base on our performance right?>

"I guess so? It's usually like that on video games"

<Yes that's right, but the rewards is distribute to the peoples around our area as well, but i don't like that so i make the rewards is only for both of us>

Hm? Does she hacking the system again or something? Well as long as it good for me and ciel i don't really care

As we keep walking we finally arrived at the safe zone

"Haha....so this is what you mean when you told me that the reward is only for both of us..." I let out an awkward laugh after seeing the scene in the safe zone

<Yes! If there's no one beside us, it almost guarantee that the reward is only for us>  ciel responded rather cheerfully

The scene in the safe zone could only be describe as nightmare, thousands of civilians and hunters is lying dead on the ground, be it childrens, elderly and woman's is dead without a single trace of life

"It's incredible how you are able to commit this large scales of genocide while wearing that satisfied expression....well anyway good job ciel" i said as i patting her head gently

[Qualifications stage is over!]
[Distributing rewards to all participants in this area....]
[Successful]

[Achievement Rank:
1. Manas Ciel
2. Rimuru Tempest]

[The participants that qualified will be transfer to tower in 30 minutes]

While waiting, i asked ciel to change my thunder power to Gluttony as i think that my sword technique is enough as offensive, and using gluttony as defensive seem cool as well

And ciel after learn that i buy [Elegance Swordsplay] as skill, she proceeds to bought a magical chinese zither from the shop and bought a skill named [Musician]

She said that it will be cool if she play the zither while i fight using the sword, it make me look more elegant and beautiful, i just ignore her and asked her to do whatever she want

[Autumn Rain]

Ability: Sound Manifestation (Rank: A)
Dura: 999/999

[Musician]

It is pretty useful ability though, but beside all that i'm kinda happy seeing that ciel is enjoying herself, 'You look very charming right now..' i mutter in my heart while letting out a gentle smile

After 30 minutes countdown is over, all the participants from all over the world that qualified got transfered into a new world inside the tower, jessica and her friends coincidentally arrived with hyun-woo and his guild members

They greeted each others with friendly manners, since jessica is somewhat popular among S-rankers hyun-woo naturally recognize her

"It is an honor to meet you, Maiden Of Light Jessica" hyun-woo said

"Same here too, i can't believe that you are not famous with how strong you and yours guild members are" jessica responded

"Hm...just when i was thinking i could retire in peace the world has gone a drastic change..ha...this is really bad for this old man health" a voice suddenly cut the their conversation

Jessica and hyun-woo turn to look at the voice, but the moment they laid their eyes on him, they froze in fear while shivering hard, hyun-woo guild members who has a strength of average S-rank also couldn't stop shivering when they look at the figure

'impossible....wh-why he is here...' jessica thought as she about to collapse from overwhelming fear

'this...i don't remember this happen in previous life..' hyun-woo mutter in his heart while sweating bullet

"Sigh....i bet rimuru-girl must have been confuse out of her mind right now, Hahahahaha!! I really want to see her reaction" the figure said while having a nostalgic expression

Jessica on the other hand heard that rimuru name being mention couldn't help but wonder, 'Rimuru.....how does he knows about rimuru?' jessica thought but eventually gather her courage to ask the figure

"Y-you...you know rimuru?" Jessica asked nervously as she is being prepared to be killed anytime

"Hm? Does this young lady also know rimuru-girl? Hahaha, indeed i know her, she is my....chatting buddy you could say" the figure answer

'.....rimuru! How come...how come you know him!! The world most feared criminal, Edward Francis!!'
