【Report. Do you want to use 【Thought Transmission】 to purify? 】

Of course it was Yes! "Benimaru, Shion, you two step back." Rimuru waved his hand and blocked Benimaru and Shion behind him. "Let me try next."

"Lord Rimuru, be careful!" Shion said worriedly.

"It's okay, Shion." Benimaru also pulled Shion back, "Trust Lord Rimuru."

Rimuru approached the giant slime alone, stopped at a safe distance, and slowly condensed a magic ball with his palms facing inward. Rimuru pushed his hands forward slightly, and a beam of light slowly extended towards the slime.

Great Sage, doesn't [Convey Thoughts] require you to say something to the other party? Is it okay if I don't say anything? [Answer. If you detect that the slime has mutated due to external factors, you can convey your thoughts of wanting it to recover.]

I see! I understand! Rimuru suddenly understood, closed his eyes and began to convey his thoughts.

Little Four.

Rimuru took a step forward, only to find that he had turned into a human form without knowing when. He walked forward and stretched out his hand to touch the quiet picture, but found that he seemed to be separated from them in another world, and he could not reach them no matter what.

Xian did not respond, but hugged Rimuru tighter. A large amount of magic energy poured into Rimuru's body and then was injected into the condensed magic ball.

"Thank you." said the white-haired boy, "You saved us."

It's just speculation, but if this continues, it will be none of my business, and the mission will fail, right? […This is not within my jurisdiction. Hey hey.jpg]

“Um…” Rimuru said.

But now it seems that Shion and Benimaru have also consumed a lot of magic energy, and these three people combined may not be enough to purify it...

It was only a small amount that was purified. If it hadn't consumed so much magic at the beginning, would it have been successful? Rimuru lamented in his heart.

"...Hey." Rimuru was speechless for a moment as he looked at Xian. The boy's body had become transparent, as if a breeze could blow him away.

Seeing the figure gradually going away, Rimuru suddenly came to his senses and ran towards the back, shouting: "Wait, please wait!" Seeing the figure pause slightly, Rimuru said very quickly, "At least, at least let me know...what's your name?"

You must have had some malicious intent when you gave me this body, right? !

Eh?? !!

He himself is now struggling very hard. If it weren't for the great sage's precise calculations, which enabled him to use his magic energy most efficiently, he probably wouldn't have been able to hold on until now. However, it seems like he won't be able to hold on for much longer.

Since it is polluted, there must be a way to restore the slime, and Rimuru must be restoring the slime with the help provided by his golden finger, which can also be said to be purifying it.

[Answer. Now you are the medium for him to purify the mutated slime.]

Rimuru hesitated and said, "Um..."

[…Hmm? Host, what do you want to do? ]

Xian suddenly adjusted the position of his arms, hugged Rimuru tightly, and a faint white light emanated from his body.

Ahhh, can't we just stop it? We already know there will be no results, isn't this a waste?! [Report. An unknown slime has been detected burning its own magic to maintain its form, the purification success rate has been corrected to 100%.]

Eh? ?! Wait, stop it! [Say. I have lost control.]

Xian didn't want to care about the system.

Thinking of this, Rimuru no longer hesitated and asked the Great Sage to continue to increase the output of magic elements, while he himself turned into a slime to reduce the consumption of magic elements.

"Shion, Benimaru, I may need your strength." Rimuru said.

"I'm very sorry, Lord Rimuru, I'm also..." Benimaru also knelt on one knee, his chest heaving violently.

"It's okay, you guys go and rest aside." Rimuru didn't force it and held the magic ball alone.

Well, anyway, the purification cannot be successful no matter what. Now they can only hold on for three minutes. After three minutes, if the purification fails, this guy will probably slowly return to his previous appearance, and then they will have no choice but to run away.

"..." Rimuru was surprised to feel a stream of magic rapidly flowing into his body, and the magic ball that was originally dim in front of him suddenly regained its brightness.

"...No, I need you to supply me with magic." Rimuru said, "I am trying to purify this guy now, which requires a large amount of magic, but I don't seem to have enough magic now, so I need your help."

“……” Rimuru opened his mouth but did not speak for a long time.

"No." The boy shook his head, stood up, and slowly walked deeper into the woods. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, paused, turned sideways, and smiled slightly, "Only you can save us."

The original mission only told me to help Rimuru resolve the crisis, but it didn't tell me how to help, right?

Suddenly, Rimuru felt that he was being picked up. If it weren't for the help of the Great Sage, the magic ball he was controlling would have probably dissipated due to his distraction.

One arc?! Rimuru was speechless at this data.

[Notice. The slime with an unknown name is taking control of [Thought Transmission] and is about to lose the right to control the output of magic.]

I have no choice but to watch him disappear! And... this feeling! In the white mist, Rimuru could not feel the strength of the man holding him. He slowly controlled his slime body and walked forward.

The sitting boy heard the sound, turned his head slightly, and a smile appeared on his somewhat dull face for the first time. He jumped off the stone, squatted down and touched a slime on the ground.

A strand of white hair fell in front of Rimuru. Rimuru lifted the slime's body and saw a white-haired boy with a calm face.

So is it okay if the body is gone?

Great Sage, how long can I last with my magic power?

Burning the magic that maintains his body, that is to say, after the burning is complete, this child...isn't it equivalent to being eaten by him? ! He doesn't want this kind of victory that requires others to make sacrifices! "Stop it quickly! You will disappear like this!" Rimuru shouted.

The boy blinked and said nothing more. He just bowed to Rimuru and turned and walked deeper into the woods.

So, are there any other requests after assisting? [No, this mission is just to assist. As long as the host can help Rimuru get rid of this mutated slime or restore it to normal, that's enough.]

Just tell me if it is true or not.

Great Sage, if we add this child, can the purification be successful? [Answer. It can be purified to 87.6%]

Damn it, how can I, a weakling in combat, help them and save the cute slime? Wait, right, he seemed to remember Xiao Si talking about the problem with his body... Xian suddenly thought of a possibility.

Rimuru was about to ask the Great Sage to stop outputting magic and retreat to find a solution when he heard Shion exclaim, "Slime, why did you come out?"

Xian also thought it was possible. If he hit it like he did just now, it would obviously not be able to cure this strange-looking thing, and it seemed that this thing was very thick, and external force could only deform it, not crack it.

This doesn't work?! Rimuru was shocked. How powerful is this mutant?!

"Yes, Lord Rimuru!" Since Rimuru said so, Shion and Benimaru naturally had no objection.

"Hey! What are you doing!?" Rimuru said in shock.

"You must do it within your ability! Stop if you can't hold on any longer, we'll think of other ways!" Rimuru warned. He was really afraid that these two guys would fight to the death to supply him with magic.

"Of course, Lord Rimuru." Benimaru and Shion took a fighting stance. Shion put her hand on the hilt of the large sword behind her, eager to try. "Lord Rimuru, do you want me to chop this guy down?"

So if you want to defeat it, you have to find another way. Xian observed and recalled the usual routines and felt that if it was this color, according to the routine, it could be contaminated, so there must be a reason for it to become like this. Maybe Rimuru's enemies wanted to make things difficult for him, so they murdered the cute slime.

[But host, you have to know that you can't do anything except controlling your body! You don't have any magic or skills, how can you help? ]

Wait...? ! What did you say? !

【Hmm? What's the matter, host?】

[Answer. Purification progress 26.56%]

[Answer. Three minutes.] So short! So how is the purification going?

Xian lowered his head, and looked at Rimuru with his shallow silver-white pupils without much focus. During the days in the Demonic Federation, he always had this expression and look, but at this moment, Rimuru felt something different.

"My king, I was born because of you."

In this case, there is no need for him to waste magic. Rimuru quickly said, "Well, that's enough. If we can't purify this guy, let's not waste magic."

[Great, host, insightful analysis. ]

Xian was watching from behind the stone: What is he doing? [I don't know, is it a skill?]

Then it doesn't matter.

Wait, what should I do? I already know that this child's magic can't be purified. Are we just going to watch him use up his magic? And why can he take the initiative?! Isn't it me who can purify it?

No, we have to find a way to do something.

[Notice. It is detected that under normal circumstances, your magic essence plus the magic essence of individuals named Shion and Benimaru can be purified to a value of 57.29%]

[Really not, you have to believe me, host, everything is an accident. QAQ]

Is he... helping me? Yes, his energy is twice as much as mine, so he can really help me.

Eh?? !!

This is just the beginning?! Rimuru was speechless.

Oops, I just went too far, and consumed too much magic! Rimuru secretly complained in his heart. Seeing that it had a certain effect, Rimuru was unwilling to give up. Moreover, according to the great sage, he might be the only one who could perform this purification method.

With the help of the Great Sage, Rimuru mobilized the magic in his body to start purification. At first, it was indeed effective. The slime's movements slowed down visibly, and the color of its entire body became lighter. Rimuru was slightly happy to see the effect, and increased the output of magic.

It was as if I had passed through a thin film, and the surroundings became clear: the refreshing Jura Forest in summer, the gurgling stream, a group of water-blue slimes parked by the river, and... a white-haired boy sitting on a big rock.

Now it seems that although Rimuru's trick is quite useful, the slime seems to have calmed down a lot, the color has also become lighter, and the hostility around it is not as strong as before, but it is still a long way from returning to its original cute slime! And it is so big, it must be a lot of slimes mixed together... If the purification is successful, it may separate.

Xian held Rimuru's hand and patted him gently, then slowly closed his eyes.

【Warning. The magic element is running low.】

"Yes, Lord Rimuru."

Shion collapsed to the ground with sweat all over her forehead: "I'm sorry, Lord Rimuru, I really can't hold on any longer."

At the same time, Shion and Benimaru had already stopped supplying magic elements.

Xian: ...

“……” The young man was silent for a while, then turned around, put his right hand on his chest, stretched out his left hand forward, and smiled.

"Xian, my name is Xian."

[…That’s right, but it’s always a positive help, not a hindrance, right? ]

"Eh?! What are you doing..." Rimuru was surprised. Didn't he tell him to hide far away?

Not enough magic? I can do it! Is it my turn to help? Xian was also eager to try.

Are you talking about the mutated slime? Rimuru was slightly startled. But... us? "No, it was obviously you..." Rimuru couldn't reach there, so he could only stand there and answer, "If it were me, I couldn't do it at all!"

Damn it... Rimuru gritted his teeth. He had lost control of the magic ball.

But it doesn't look like an attack skill, right? What can this light do? Hmm... purification? [It's very possible. ]

After achieving this goal, can I leave this world directly? [Yes, that's right. ]

Xian showed a confident smile. He just thought of a risky approach, and if this approach succeeded, he would feel a little sorry for Rimuru. However, in order to complete the mission and solve Rimuru's crisis, he resolutely chose to give it a try.

Huh? What is a slime? Rimuru was stunned for a moment. Isn't a slime the big mutated thing in front of him?

Xian looked down at Rimuru, and used one hand to touch Rimuru's smooth and cold body. He did not answer nor stop. Instead, an even stronger light emanated from his body, wrapping up himself and the mutated slime in front of him while he was holding Rimuru. Shion and Benimaru who were outside could not see what was going on inside.

Rimuru stopped and a gust of wind blew by. The boy's figure, along with the background of the Jura Forest and the slimes, all disappeared like a wisp of smoke.

Rimuru blinked and came to his senses. In front of him was the river that ran through the mountain again. The difference was that the river had returned to its original state, and there were many more aqua blue slimes around the river.

The river flowed, mixed with a slight amount of water vapor, passing by Rimuru. He reached out his hand, grabbed a leaf blown down by the wind, lowered his eyes and said nothing.

Xi'an...
