"So sleepy... Suddenly, I really want to sleep..."
After ten thousand souls had been collected, an overwhelming wave of drowsiness surged through Rimuru.
Rimuru slowly descended from the sky and plopped down onto the grass. Even the Demon Seal Mask on her face accidentally fell off.
"Lord Rimuru!!!"
Seeing this, even Xiao, who had always been cold and composed, could not help but panic. In a flash, he appeared right in front of Rimuru.
Seeing Xiao arrive at her side, Rimuru could no longer hold on.
She directly changed from her human form into Slime form, and the azure glow on her body dimmed unconsciously.
At that moment, Rimuru felt her vision growing increasingly blurry. She could not even use the most basic skill, [Magic Sense].
Rimuru knew that her Demon King evolution ritual was about to begin. No, there were still some things she needed to arrange!
"Xiao, Ran-ga!"
Ran-ga, who had already noticed that something was wrong with Rimuru, leaped out of Rimuru's shadow the moment he heard her summons.
Xiao also slowly stepped forward and spoke to Rimuru with slight respect.
"Lord Rimuru! What are your orders?"
"Ran-ga, take me back to town. There are also two survivors in that tent. Their identities should be important, so bring them with us. Just make sure they don't die! Once this is over, I have something to ask them!"
Forcing herself to remain awake despite her body being so exhausted that she could barely keep her eyes open, Rimuru gave Xiao and Ran-ga one order after another.
"Yes! Lord Rimuru!"
Ran-ga answered with utmost respect.
"Xiao, I'll leave the dragon lizard army to you!"
Rimuru said to Xiao beside her.
"Then... what should we do with these corpses, Lord Rimuru?"
Xiao frowned as he looked at the human corpses
