Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

"Ming Hao, what's wrong?"

Beside him, Sally noticed Lu Minghao's unease immediately, reaching out to gently hug him, her small face filled with worry as she asked.

"It's nothing."

Lu Minghao reached out and gently stroked Sally's head, indicating he was fine. He didn't plan to tell Sally about Rimuru yet, or rather, Lu Minghao had a brand new idea.

"Sally, what do you think it would feel like if your best friend suddenly became the biggest villain?"

"It should be interesting, right?"

After hearing Lu Minghao's words, Sally tilted her head and thought for a moment, her small face filled with a sweet smile as she spoke. She still remembered that Lu Minghao had taught her before that a true villain must learn to disguise themselves.

"Well, Sally, after we deal with Arnold, we'll go to the Edolas Kingdom."

Lu Minghao nodded, looking in the direction of the Edolas Kingdom, a strange smile appearing on his round body.

"Got it."

Sally nodded obediently. Although she didn't understand why Lu Minghao suddenly wanted to go to the Edolas Kingdom, it was enough for her as long as she was by Lu Minghao's side. For Sally, that was her greatest happiness.

"That... I've already told you everything I know. Can you let me go?"

At this moment, the noble young man's weak voice echoed in the room. The noble young man, his face covered in blood, was lying in front of Sally, his eyes filled with fear and a desire to live as he asked.

"Of course... not."

As she spoke, a ball of dark red flame appeared on Sally's fair palm. The sticky flame was like flowing sludge, engulfing the noble young man's body bit by bit in his despairing gaze. Finally, the noble young man's body completely disappeared, and the much stronger flames all flowed into Sally's body.

After the flames disappeared, a hint of redness appeared on Sally's originally fair skin, and the amount of magic essence in her body also increased slightly.

"Let's go, it's time to meet that great noble."

As soon as the words fell, Lu Minghao and Sally's bodies slowly sank into the shadows and disappeared from the spot, leaving only the empty room behind. Outside the room, several waiters were gathered, looking at the tightly closed door in front of them with strange smiles on their lips.

....

....

Ister Kingdom Noble Magic Academy.

This academy was established by Ister I, the first king of the Ister Kingdom. All those who can enter it are children of the great nobles of the Ister Kingdom, and each dean is the strongest magician in the Ister Kingdom.

A large number of magicians have emerged from this academy, providing many strong individuals for the Ister Kingdom. Even each successor to the throne of the Ister Kingdom has studied there.

And now, the dean of this noble academy, the top noble, the kingdom's strongest magician, Arnold, is in the basement below the academy.

Milky white magic lamps illuminated the entire basement as bright as day. A large number of strange-shaped magical creatures were lying in cages, their eyes revealing human-like fear as they looked at the man in the gorgeous magic robe not far away.

Not far from the area where many magical creatures were imprisoned, some human-like figures with varying degrees of magical creature features on their bodies were imprisoned in a cage with dead eyes. Through their tattered clothes, one could vaguely see that their bodies were covered with a large number of scars.

Crack!

Suddenly, the cage imprisoning many magical creatures was opened. A magic puppet walked into the cage in the desperate and fearful eyes of the many magical creatures. The magic puppet's emotionless eyes looked at the many magical creatures in front of it, picking up a two-headed lizard from among them as if selecting goods.

Afterwards, the magic puppet carried the struggling two-headed lizard and turned to leave the cage. Before closing the cage, the magic puppet threw a ball of something inside. As the package landed, the contents scattered all over the ground, and a pungent bloody smell permeated the air. Upon closer inspection, it would be discovered that all of those things were a mixture of a large number of severed limbs and bodies.

When the many magical creatures saw these things, they roared and rushed forward, grabbing the nearest thing and tearing into it... even if the things they were tearing into were the remains of their own kind.

"Failed again!"

Just as the magic puppet grabbed the two-headed lizard and walked to the experiment table, Arnold's indifferent voice suddenly rang out. His originally gorgeous magic robe was covered in blood, and in front of him, a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy was lying on the operating table, his wide eyes filled with pain and a hint of relief.

The body below the boy's head had already been dismembered into complete sizes and thrown aside at will. Upon closer inspection, it would be discovered that the boy's eyes were beastly pupils like those of a wolf, and his ears were also furry and pointed. Although discarded on the side, the limbs also had some magical creature characteristics.

"Father, don't be angry."

At this moment, a tall figure walked out from the corner of the laboratory. Its entire body was covered in dark black scales, sharp claws gleamed on its thick limbs, and behind its nearly five-meter body, three snake-like tails swayed constantly. At the tips of the tails, three snake heads spat out long snake tongues, and purple venom dripped from the fangs of their open mouths.

However, the head of this magical creature seemed incomparably strange. The head of a little girl who looked less than ten years old was growing on top of it, her tender face was full of a faint smile, and her eyes were full of concern as she looked at her... father.

"Mm."

Arnold glanced at his daughter, who had been modified by him, and only nodded indifferently. For him, his daughter was just a failed experiment. Originally, he had planned to modify his daughter into a mother nest to hatch perfect experimental subjects.

But all of them failed. The born experimental subjects were all flawed existences, and he used them all for later experiments or as food for those magical creatures.

However, whether it was because Arnold had only a trace of paternal affection in his heart, or because his daughter had good combat power after being modified, he kept her and raised her in the laboratory.

"Go, ask when my most perfect matrix can be sent."

Arnold turned to look at the magic puppet beside him and issued an order, then raised his head to look at the photo hanging on the experiment table. In the photo, a little girl was standing by a garbage dump, holding a rotten apple in her hand, wearing tattered clothes and skin that looked slightly sallow due to long-term malnutrition.

And in the little girl's dark, messy hair, there was a pair of small ghost horns.

"Truly the most perfect matrix, I can't wait to get you."

In a greedy, morbid voice, Arnold raised his hands high, as if welcoming something he had been waiting for for a long time.
