Anime: About That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

“G-Ghost... Ghost race... D-Don't kill me... I... I am a nobleman!”

The noble young man looked at Sally, who was crouching beside him, his eyes filled with fear and a hint of arrogance. His tone carried a trace of command, but his body involuntarily retreated backward. However, as soon as his body moved, a sharp pain came from his collapsed chest, and he couldn't help but scream.

He simply didn't believe that the girl in front of him would dare to kill him, a nobleman.

“Big brother, didn’t you want to play with Sally? Why are you running away from Sally?”

In the gentle, sweet laughter, Sally slowly raised her hand and stroked the collapsed chest of the noble young man. The sound of bones breaking accompanied the noble young man's wails. His originally gorgeous attire had become stained with blood, but thanks to the soundproof magic barrier, the servants guarding the door were completely unaware of what was happening inside.

“Ah... Don't... Please, spare me... As long as you spare me, I'll give you everything, money or anything... Please, spare me.”

The noble young man's eyes were filled with fear as he begged Sally. The feeling of death approaching step by step had completely shattered his psychological defenses. At this moment, he had cast aside his noble status and arrogance, only wanting to live.

“Really? Anything is okay?”

Lu Minghao lightly leaped out of Sally's arms and landed on the noble young man's chest. However, whether it was intentional or not, Lu Minghao landed directly on the collapsed part of the noble young man's chest, causing him to wail miserably again.

Smack!

The next second, Lu Minghao extended a round tentacle and directly slapped the screaming noble young man in the face. Most of his teeth were knocked out, and half of his face was completely swollen. The noble young man, seeing the slime raising its arm again, quickly closed his mouth and dared not make the slightest sound.

“Alright, now I'll ask, and you answer. If there's even a hint that I think is wrong, I guarantee you'll experience something countless times more enjoyable than before.”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing Lu Minghao's words, the noble young man hurriedly nodded vigorously. However, because he had lost most of his teeth and his face was swollen, his voice became strange and leaky.

“Good. Do you know the great nobleman, Arnold?”

Seeing that the noble young man was quite obedient, Lu Minghao nodded in satisfaction. Then, he began to inquire about the whereabouts of his main target this time. After all, although Lu Minghao was now a Demon Lord Seed, and Sally also had the strength of a high-ranking demon, he had never underestimated the humans of this world.

With his current strength, he was neither high nor low. He could be considered strong against ordinary demons and humans, but to true powerhouses, he was just a small bug that was a bit troublesome to kill, a nuisance in short.

“Lord Arnold, I know him! I know him! I know him! He is Duke Inster of the Inster Kingdom, one of the kingdom's strongest combatants, and also the principal of the Noble Magic Academy. He usually stays in the academy, researching his experiments, and rarely leaves. Also...”

The noble young man, looking at the slime so close, revealed everything he knew about Arnold under the threat of death.

Arnold, the hereditary Duke of the Inster Kingdom, was already the most esteemed existence in the entire Inster Kingdom besides the king. He was also one of the kingdom's strongest combatants. It was rumored that Arnold had once hunted a high-ranking demon alone and was the Inster Kingdom's strongest magician.

In addition, he was also the principal of the only Noble Magic Academy in the Inster Kingdom. However, because of his continuous experiments on demons and humans, he almost always stayed inside the academy's exclusive laboratory.

“Always staying in the Magic Academy... Where is that Magic Academy?”

After listening to the noble young man's words, Lu Minghao pondered for a few seconds, then raised his head and continued to ask.

“It's right next to the royal palace. It's the largest and tallest building in the entire capital besides the royal palace. It's easy to recognize.”

As he spoke, the noble young man began to gesture to show the distinctive architectural style of the Magic Academy. In order to survive, he didn't care what the slime and the ghost race in front of him wanted to do, even though he had already guessed that Lu Minghao and Sally's target was the top-tier nobleman, Arnold.

“By the way, does Arnold have any family, or someone he cares about?”

The next second, Sally suddenly leaned in, a sweet smile on her face, and looked at the noble young man as she asked.

“...Lord Arnold hasn't returned to his family in a long time since he started experimenting on demons and humans. Also, there are rumors within the academy that Lord Arnold used his own daughter for experiments.”

At this point, an undisguised fear appeared in the noble young man's eyes. Once, due to an accident, he had seen the scene inside Arnold's laboratory from afar. Even now, he still couldn't forget the figure crawling beside Arnold and Arnold's perverted and twisted smile.

“It seems we can't threaten him. Sally is so disappointed.”

Hearing that Arnold didn't care about his family, and could even use his own daughter for experiments, a look of disappointment appeared on Sally's small face. She had finally thought of a way for the villain to openly capture the other party's family to threaten them, but the other party didn't care about his family at all.

“By the way, has anything important happened recently?”

At this time, Lu Minghao looked at the noble young man in front of him and asked again. During the time it took to rush to the capital of the Inster Kingdom, in order to hide their identities and whereabouts, Lu Minghao and Sally had spent most of their time in the wild. Because of this, Lu Minghao didn't know many things yet.

This also included something that Lu Minghao cared about the most.

“Important things... Does the death of the Storm Dragon Veldora count?”

After thinking for a moment, the noble young man cautiously looked at Lu Minghao and said that not long ago, the matter of the magic essence reaction of the Storm Dragon Veldora, who had been sealed in the depths of the Jura Forest three hundred years ago, disappearing, had attracted the attention of the entire world.

The kingdoms near the Jura Forest had also sent adventurer teams to investigate and had confirmed that the Storm Dragon Veldora had completely died, and even his corpse had disappeared without a trace.

“It counts! Why wouldn't it count!”

The moment Lu Minghao heard about the death of the Storm Dragon Veldora, a strange smile appeared on his gelatinous body. He knew that his fellow had been reincarnated into this world, and, as expected, had already encountered the goblins from the original story and Ranga, who had a mere father-killing grudge.

However, Rimuru's reincarnation time was still somewhat beyond Lu Minghao's expectations, causing Lu Minghao's original plan to go to the Jura Forest after solving Arnold to fall through.

After all, the current Rimuru has a Calamity-class powerhouse, Veldora, inside him. When he truly encounters a fatal danger, Lu Minghao is not sure that he won't jump out and give him a dragon claw.
