I’ve Been Reincarnated as a Tentacle Slime~ I Want to Live a Comfortable, Secure Life and Do Whatever I Want~ - Chapter 14

First, I finished clearing the Monster House and as a result, [Swimming], [Water Magic], and [Fire Resistance] reached level 3. Afterward, I went down to the 7th floor.

The 7th floor was the same water area as the 6th. While running along the ceiling, I saw the shadow of a fish reflected on the water’s surface. It wasn’t just any fish; it had a sharp sword on its head, like a marlin. As I was analyzing it, the fish jumped out of the water and charged at me with its glowing blue sword. I deflected the attack with my shield, but it quickly retreated into the water, preventing me from counterattacking.

“With the shield, it’s too hard and just knocks the attack away. I wonder if I can make it stick inside the shield if I make it using the golem stone…”

For the fish’s next attack, I placed the stone shield in front and used the back like a shell to withstand the piercing attack. The plan worked, and the fish, stuck in the stone, wriggled. I stabbed it with my spear, killed it, and devoured it.

By the way, the glowing blue sword was enchanted with water magic. After defeating the fish, the blue glow disappeared, and it just turned back into a regular sword.

I gained the [Slashing] skill and finally acquired three types of attack methods.

“If I go straight to the Monster House like this, I’ll be attacked from all sides, and it’ll be dangerous. I need to come up with some countermeasures…”

I thought about whether I could manage this like fishing. I turned a thick tentacle into stone and changed part of it into an amino-acid-like nutrient cluster to attract the fish. I realized that with a single tentacle stabbing, I could cut off the senses and only receive damage. The outcome was an incredible catch, with fish impaling themselves on the tentacles one after another.

“The Transmutation (Transformation) skill doesn’t just change things, but can literally alter the body and its properties too? If that’s the case, I might be able to simulate nerves… wait, I’ve been talking to myself more and more lately…”

Maybe because I was alone, or maybe it’s just my mind, but I started saying the things I was thinking out loud.

I explored the dungeon in wolf form, fishing at various spots along the way. I found a black gate and created a Monster House on this floor too.

“Still, I’ve descended this far, but I haven’t run into anyone… I can’t be the only one in this world, right? At this point, I could probably go outside and not instantly die, right?”

Feeling uneasy, I decided to leave the dungeon and go to the surface before exploring the 8th floor.
