Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

At the city gate, Sally, who was in line, looked up, her mouth agape, at the thick, grayish-brown stone walls before her. This style, built of rock, was different from the exquisite architecture of the human kingdom, and could only be described as rough and wild.

“Fellow, is this your first time in Calando?”

Just as Sally was staring blankly at the rugged architecture before her, a calm but dignified voice sounded beside her. A burly man with shoulder-length red hair had appeared beside Sally at some point, looking at the massive city with a proud smile.

“Who are you?”

Sally turned her head to look at the man beside her, her large purple eyes filled with curiosity. She noticed a long, white demon horn on the man's forehead. In Sally's perception, the mana within the man's body was like a calm sea, seemingly peaceful yet unfathomably deep. The terrifying mana seemed capable of transforming into a giant wave that could destroy everything at any moment.

“Edras. I am the king of this kingdom, the Demon King.”

Edras lowered his head slightly to look at Sally, a smile appearing on his handsome face. His originally calm magic power began to boil, and a substantial pressure pressed down on Sally like a mountain. His originally peaceful temperament instantly became violent, and terrifying mana swept across everything around him like a tsunami, wave after wave.

“A Demon Lord!”

Under the terrifying pressure, the expression on Sally's face gradually turned cold. Her empty eyes silently stared at Edras, and the mana within her body began to flow rapidly. In the center of her hands, substantial mana began to compress and condense continuously, and the power of magical elements was injected. Sally was prepared for the discovery of what she and Lu Minghao were doing.

“Hey, hey, hey! Wait, wait, I was just joking with you. Why are all the kids so humorless these days!”

Just as the power of the [Magic Cannon] in Sally's hand reached its peak, the oppressive aura on Edras's body instantly disappeared. He quickly raised his hands, his handsome face full of helplessness as he looked at Sally. He had never expected that he just wanted to test Sally's strength and give some guidance to a junior, but Sally directly looked like she was about to fight to the death.

Helpless, Edras had to give up on this idea. Otherwise, not to mention actually fighting Sally, just the two things in her hand would be enough to blow up most of the royal capital, causing massive casualties.

Moreover, the current Edras Kingdom, due to the sudden appearance of those monsters, had lost most of its territory. A large number of its people were being torn apart and devoured by those monsters every moment, or assimilated and infected into completely new monsters.

For the current Edras Kingdom, every high-end combatant was an extremely precious existence. This was why he, as the king of Edras and the strongest in the kingdom, had appeared here.

As early as a few minutes ago, when Sally had just walked out of the forest and blended into the demon horde, Edras in the kingdom had received news about Sally, this strange demon person. Whether out of curiosity for a new kind of being, or for the top-level combat power that the kingdom desperately needed, Edras had come in person.

“Joking?”

Across from him, Sally, who had just raised her hands, intending to slam two [Magic Cannons] into Edras's face, was slightly stunned when she saw him raise his hands and look harmless. Her big eyes moved slightly, and the [Magic Cannon] in her hand began to slowly disappear.

“Yes, yes! Just joking. To be honest, it's been a long time since I've seen a Great Demon evolve into a Demon Person. I was a little excited for a moment.”

Looking at Sally, who had lowered her hands, Edras quickly nodded and began to explain, his eyes full of gratification as he looked at Sally, especially when he saw Sally's face, which still had a hint of childishness, and his face showed a fatherly smile.

In fact, many demons live in Edras's royal capital, but in recent years, very few Great Demons have been able to transform into Demon People on their own. Even if there are a few Demon People besides him, they were all evolved after being named by him, the Demon Lord, and their potential has almost been exhausted. It is impossible for them to evolve into a Demon Lord.

But now, Sally, who appeared in front of him, was different. Her whole body, whether it was her magic power, body, or soul, exuded a vibrant aura, undoubtedly proving that Sally was still very young, even excessively young... And her youth, coupled with her self-evolution into a Demon Person with the strength of a high-level demon, all indicated that Sally had far surpassed other demons, even surpassing his potential.

Perhaps, this newly appeared Demon Person girl has the possibility of awakening into the true Demon Lord that he has always dreamed of.

“Um, little one, what's your name?”

In the next second, the most gentle and kind smile Edras had ever shown appeared on his handsome face. He leaned forward and asked Sally's name in a gentle tone. The many demons not far away who were looking this way showed expressions of disbelief when they saw Edras like this, and then raised their hands and rubbed their eyes vigorously.

They couldn't believe that this gentle and kind fellow was their originally dignified and iron-blooded King. You must know that the King usually has a serious and cold expression when facing his own children.

“Sally. My name is Sally. Also, can you please stop blocking the way, uncle?”

Sally looked at Edras, who had a gentle smile on his face as he approached her, a look of disgust on her small face. She instinctively raised her hands and pushed him away with all her might.

Seeing the small hands coming towards him, Edras's handsome face once again showed a fatherly smile. He directly put his face towards Sally's small hands. The many monsters who saw this scene from afar began to suspect whether Sally was the child left behind by their king. Otherwise, why would he be playing with her?

Bang!

The next second, just as Sally's small hand and Edras's fatherly smile touched each other, Edras's smile visibly twisted, the sound of bones breaking ringing out clearly. Then, amidst the confusion, doubt, and bewilderment of the many monsters at the city gate, Edras flew straight out, drawing a beautiful black line in the air before disappearing into the horizon.

"King... King, Your Majesty?"

The many monsters blinked their eyes as they watched the disappearing Edras, then looked at Sally, who was rubbing her small hands on her skirt with a look of disgust. For a moment, the many monsters were completely at a loss.

Under normal circumstances, they should be rushing to find their King, and capture Sally. But the problem was that the King who flew out was the strongest combat force of the Edras Kingdom. In addition, there was Edras's attitude towards Sally, and Sally's powerful strength.

As a result, all the monsters only dared to watch Sally from afar. Even the higher-ranking monsters of the Edras Kingdom who arrived later did not dare to approach at all. They could only watch Sally wipe her small hands clean, then skip into the royal capital, carrying the slime in her arms.

......

More than ten minutes later, a black shadow flew from the horizon and crashed heavily at the city gate. Edras, whose handsome face clearly had two handprints on it, looked around as soon as he landed, looking for something, not even caring about the higher-ranking monsters who were approaching him with worried expressions.

"Where did she go, where did she go?"

"Hey! Edras, what the hell are you looking for?"

A two-headed pseudo-dragon, standing nearly fifty meters tall, looked at Edras with displeasure, ignoring him. This guy, despite being the King, usually looked very serious, but in reality, he was a completely unreliable guy.

"Of course, I'm looking for the future true king of our Edras Kingdom! Who else would I be looking for?"

Edras then said, and continued to raise his head, searching among the dense crowd of monsters in front of him. At this time, his eyes were filled with irrepressible excitement. Originally, he thought that the surprise Sally gave him was already big enough, but just now, when Sally gently patted him, Edras deeply understood that he had completely underestimated Sally.

That terrifying power, even as a Demon King species who had lived for nearly a hundred years, would feel fear. Edras was even extremely certain that if Sally had swung her fist with all her strength just now, his head, or even his body, would have been directly blown apart. That was not a power that ordinary Oni could possess!

Sally is a special individual among the Oni, an existence that is countless times rarer than ordinary Oni! Sally definitely has a unique skill like him!

"The future king of the Edras Kingdom? Are you sure your head wasn't broken just now?"

An Ice Frost Magic Wolf, five meters tall with a body length of nearly ten meters and covered in silver-white fur, couldn't help but raise its paw and pat Edras's head after hearing Edras's words, making sure that water hadn't gotten into it. According to this guy's meaning, he actually wanted that Oni little girl to become the future king of the Edras Kingdom?

"Oz! I'm not wrong, Sally is the next king of the Edras Kingdom, she is a special individual, an Oni with a unique skill!"

Edras raised his hand and slapped away the huge wolf paw on his head, looking at the two-headed pseudo-dragon and the Ice Frost Magic Wolf in front of him with an incomparably serious expression, his tone filled with undisguised excitement and agitation.

"What? Edras, are you sure you weren't beaten silly? That Oni has a unique skill?"

The Ice Frost Magic Wolf named Oz was stunned after hearing Edras's words, its huge wolf head approaching, staring at Edras, its eyes full of disbelief. You must know that the existence that can possess a unique skill is very rare.

"Really, I am absolutely certain that Sally has a unique skill, and even more than one!"

Edras recalled Sally's incredible terrifying power and powerful physical strength, as well as the [Magic Cannon] initially condensed in Sally's hand, the smile on his face could no longer be suppressed... The Edras Kingdom, finally has hope!

As long as they find Sally and cultivate her into a Demon King species, then the monsters within the Edras Kingdom can be easily solved for Sally, who is growing into a Demon King species and possesses multiple unique skills. They can even take the opportunity to counterattack other kingdoms.

Collecting enough souls in the war to allow Sally to awaken and become a true Demon King, then the Edras Kingdom can break away from the Western countries, and even turn around and occupy the entire Western countries, making the Edras Kingdom a top kingdom!

And the most critical thing in all of this is Sally... She will be the hope of the Edras Kingdom!
