Plot[]
Despite the minor setback of Ifrit's attack, the Goblin village continues to build (and rebuild) on schedule, while Rigurd and his subordinate Goblin lords have worked out the finer details of governing even without Rimuru having to give anyone orders. This works out for Rimuru as they've been experimenting with the new abilities obtained from eating Ifrit and Shizu.
For starters, Rimuru has repaired Shizu's Anti-magic Mask that got damaged during the incident with Ifrit, Rimuru also confirms their human form works exactly like a normal human body, although it's senses are slightly duller when compared to using Mana Perception. As a makeshift mirror, Rimuru spawns a clone and confirms the appearance of their human form.
Rimuru confirms that they look like a young, androgynous Shizu, lacking any sort of defining sexual characteristics. The body is that of a child due to the limited mass of their original physical body. Furthermore, the black mist-based transformation they occasionally display is magicules making up for the difference in mass. The appearance can be altered to Rimuru's liking, with its size and overall appearance being within their complete control. Rimuru also confirms that their new form has a functioning sense of taste and orders Rigurd to prepare a feast.
On their way out of the village, Rimuru also confirms that a huge number of magical beasts are moving through the forest, possibly due to a change in the environment, so they'll have plenty of meat for the future. Rimuru takes the liberty of testing their more dangerous skills inside of the Sealed Cave, where they figure they won't hurt anyone. Rimuru confirms the status of Shizu's unique skill, Degenerate, which allows them to fuse and seperate almost anything at will, even fusing skills to earn new skills.
Rimuru and Great Sage continue to tinker with combining skills, earning powerful new skills such as Black Flame, a skill that produces highly destructive black flames. Rimuru also confirms the function of the Anti-magic Mask to suppress magical power, thus while wearing it, they appear to be a completely normal human. However, before they can experiment further, Rimuru receives an emergency request for aid from Ranga via Thought Communication.
Ranga's hunting party has come under attack by a group of six Ogres. Most of the members of the party has been put to sleep by the Ogre Princess and those who are still able to fight, Ranga, Rigur and Gobta, have only received minor injuries. Though Rimuru initially wants to settle the matter peacefully with the Ogres, their leader will have none of it.
By process of elimination, the Ogres have determined that Rimuru is the only one who could be responsible for the Orc army that attacked their village. Their reasoning is based on the fact that they are in command of a group of monsters on a scale similar to the orcish army and the precense of a mask. Rimuru commands Ranga to capture the Ogre Princess, while they focuses on dealing with the others.
Rimuru incapacitates the Hammer Wielding Ogre using Paralyzing Breath and the Female warrior Ogre by tying her up with Sticky-Steel Thread. He then deflects the other sword wielding Ogre with Body Armor and knocks him out with a counter punch, while Ranga succeeds in containing the Princess. The eldest among the Ogres identifies each of the monsters the skills came from and, in the process, confirming himself as the most dangerous among the Ogres.
Rimuru attempts another attempt at a peaceful resolution through intimidation him, but the revelation of Rimuru's immense power only serves to make them more resolved. The Ogre Elder takes the opportunity to sneak up on and try to decapitate Rimuru, though only succeeds in cutting off one of their arms. Rimuru then demonstrates their freshly acquired Ultraspeed Regeneration by regrowing their severed arm in an instant. The young master of the ogres is baffled by Rimuru's unusually powerful regeneration and proceeds to unleash a full-power Ogre Flame attack. However, Rimuru, being in possession of Thermal Fluctuation Nullification as well as the Anti-magic Mask, remained completely unfazed in the face of the flames, taunting the young leader.
Deciding to take things somewhat seriously, Rimuru removes the mask and produces a giant mass of Black Flame to show the ogres his vastly superior power. To further the intimidation, he also uses Black Thunder, an enhanced version of Black Lightning that can be completely controlled by the user, to completely destroy a large boulder. Despite all this, the young leader and eldest Ogre refuse to back down and prepare to engage Rimuru. The Ogre Princess, however, gets between them and reveals the misunderstanding, as she has determined that Rimuru is not the leader of the Orc army that attacked them. Had that individual had this much power, they would have no need to use Orcs. She's also determined that despite bearing superficial similarity, the mask Rimuru's wearing is very different than the one worn by the majin who was accompanying the Orc army, as whereas Rimuru's mask conceals their aura, the majin's didn't.
Now that the Ogres have calmed down, Rimuru reabsorbs the flames and reveals their true Slime nature before inviting the Ogres to the village to determine who is responsible for the army of violent thugs that attacked the Ogre's village. Ogre Princess removes the sleep spell, and both groups go on their way. On the way back to the village, Rimuru confirms that the Ogres are all nameless (which is the standard for their kind).
