(First PoV)
After sending Shizu away, I stood above the Forest, absorbing molecules.
With the amount of magicules she took, she might be able to contend with some weaker Demon Lords like Carrion. The only problem is that she lacks a Unique skill.
So, I need more strong underlings. And I myself need to become stronger.
Even if I have copied Shizu's training and combat memories, I need to actually be able to use the training.
So, I will spend time with the Ogres, especially that old guy to hone my skills.
The location of the Ogre village seems to be good as well for my envisioned capital city.
Rimuru can take half of the Jura Forest, I will take half and Falmuth.
... Let's not get ahead of myself. I haven't even gotten a name yet.
First, I should get myself a humanoid form.
Mimicking Eren is off. I don't want her death being drawn back to me.
Come to think of it, I didn't really have much of a reason to kill them, did I?
I just thought that they are useless, and wanted to gain magicules, skills and magic.
...Maybe I am a bad slime.
Anyway, I mimicked a human, mixing everyone I have eaten until now.
I became a 3-4 year old kid.
...It's better to be a slime than this.
So I decided to keep being a slime until I am able to grow big enough without having to compensate for a good height with magicules.
And after having eaten my fill of magicules from the environment, I started descending towards the group to greet the ogres.
But, it seems like I have come at a good time.
Thousands of Orcs have just surrounded the Ogres from all sides and attacked them. Overwhelming them.
Who seems to be Benimaru's father has fallen in battle.
Alright!
Food, here I come!
I flied down, reaching the level where the Ogres can properly hear me. And stopped the Invisibility magic.
"Do you want me to help?"
"Yes! Please help us evacuate the children—"
"I am saving you all. But you will have to become my underlings."
"We agree!"
The guy who seemed to be in command after the head shouted in agreement.
I don't see Rimuru's Ogres like Benimaru. They must have gone to scout the Orcs.
[Water Blade and Paralyzing Breath fused]
[Paralyzing Water Blade acquired]
I used the Paralyzing Water blade, and killed a bunch of Orcs.
Hmm... More power, but not too much so that their bodies don't become useless...
Yes! That can work!
I have stored the entire water in Veldora's cave in my stomach.
If I open my mouth just a little, and with high pressure...
Water Severing Waves Jutsu!
[High Pressure Water Jet acquired]
In one go, I killed an entire line of Orcs.
Now,
"Get down!"
On my command, the Ogres got down.
I jumped, and spun while using my new attack! Water Beyblade!
[Spinning High Pressure Water Jet acquired]
What's with the lame name?
Anyway, how many I killed?
[Data not available]
Oh come on!
Still, there seems to be just no end of the Orcs. They keep coming and coming.
So, I created a Body double to continue killing them.
And with my main body, said to the Ogres.
"I am evacuating you. Don't resist."
Without giving them a chance to say anything, I became big like a balloon, and Devoured them in one go. Or more like, storing them in a separate space.
And while my body double continued spinning above and killing the Orcs, I started devouring their bodies.
But... It soon became boring. I don't want to single mindedly focus again like I did in Veldora's cave.
So after devouring about 30,000 Orcs, I left.
Or was about to.
I just got an idea I want to try.
[Combining Water Blade, Water Propulsion, High Pressure Water Jet, Spinning High Pressure Water Jet...]
[Extra Skill: Water Manipulation acquired]
Meggido is the coolest thing I ever watched in anime.
While I am not using slime or whatever Rimuru used, I can use Water to achieve the same effect.
Several Water droplets appeared around me, and Head shot! Head shot! Head shot!
While Sage's accuracy is nowhere near Great Sage, resulting in many shots hitting other body parts or getting missed, I think I am hitting around 30% headshots.

Eh!? For real!?
Voice of the World informed me that I have gotten a Demon Lord Seed.
Just how many Orcs I have killed?
[Around 50% of the Orc Lord Army has been killed. Approximated kill count: 100,000]
Oh.
...Did you just get better, Sage?
[Not able to comprehend]
Whatever. Nevermind.
I just got a new Extra Skill, Efficient Killer.
Aww. I thought that I would acquire Unique skill Merciless. But I guess the Orcs under Orc Lord's control don't really feel fear. So I guess it's understandable.
Suddenly, a Wild Gelmund appeared before me.
"You—!"
I instantly killed him with a Paralyzing Poison Breath. And Devoured him.
[Mana bullet acquired]
[Magic Barrier acquired]
[Flight Magic acquired]
[Recovery Magic acquired]
[Transfer Magic acquired]
Hmm... Transfer Magic looks good.
Anyway, let's have the rest of the Orcs cannibalize on their breathen. I will not steal their food.
Afterall, an Orc Disaster needs to appear so that Rimuru can gain his Demon Lord Seed.
So, I fled the scene, to be on a lookout for the best place for starting my village.
