Tensura: The Slime and the Hybrid

Dwelling of the Spirits

(A/N: A lot of you are probably gonna be wondering "what's with the sudden name change?" And my answer is honestly this, it's my inability to finalize on certain things. One of the which, is the name of certain characters such as our main protagonist. I tried to make myself to stick with one name so that if it got too far in the story, it would force my mind into sticking with it, but that clearly didn't work. So as of now, the name has changed. But don't worry, this issue doesn't apply to all my characters, just a select few; mainly the Hybrids.)

Next morning, our group made our way to the location the Elf waiter had said.

When we arrived, we saw a massive doorway near a large mass of trees that oozed with Spiritual energy.

Rimuru: Are you all ready?

Kenya: O-Of course we're ready!

Gale: Y-Yeah...

Ryota: Alright, let's do this!

Alice: Plus, it's gonna take more then that to scare us!

Chloe tugged on Rimuru's sleeve and gave nervous but ready look.

We entered the dwelling and I found it was Labyrinth that at the moment it's going straight. Thanks to the mental maps both Mimir and sage prepared for us, we where able to move around and carefully avoid the traps ahead. We then heard a voice, it sounded like... laughter?

???: Come on, isn't this scary? It's no fun if your not afraid.

Blake: Not really much to be scared of...

Rimuru: Are you one of the Spirits that live here? We need to talk to a superior spirit. You think you can take us to one without getting in the way?

???: Hahaha! What an amusing request. Okay, I'll show you... but first!

The Labyrinth began shifting and a bright light that took the form of a path appeared. Inviting us forward.

Blake: Ah, an ominous path...

Rimuru: I guess we should follow it.

We followed the path, but after a bit of walking; we found ourselves at a dead end.

Blake: A dead end?

???: Hehehe! No rush, no rush! Behold, "Small World!"

Suddenly, the room began shifting around us to reveal a much more bigger room.

???: Well, what do you think?

In front of us was what looked like a robotic Golem.

???: Now, it's time for a test!

The robot activated with a glowing eye and stared down at us, clearly indicating what we had to do.

Blake: Is beating this all we need to do?

???: Ding! Ding! Ding! That's correct!

Ranga: Should I destroy it?

Blake: Nah, you can just sit back and watch.

Rimuru: Mind if I have this one?

Blake: Hey, I got to have a literal Dragon, go for it.

While the kids got below Ranga after he increased his size, I just saw down to watch.

???: What's this? Taking me on all alone, that overconfidence might be your downfall! But why are you just laying there? Are you not concerned for your friend?

Blake: Nah, he's got this.

The golem kept it's sole eye on me for a little while, seemingly studying me.
