Chapter 183: New Command
’Well, that didn’t go as planned,’ Dhruv thought as he looked at the bits of slime that had flown everywhere.
’Alaric, you can remove this shield,’ Dhruv whispered as he found himself protected by a shield from all sides. Alaric was very fast in his work, and the moment the explosion had happened, he had cast a shield around Dhruv.
’So, that command didn’t work as intended.’ With this thought in his mind, he began to consider what exactly could have gone wrong in the command that had caused this violent reaction.
’If I could find that fault, then it would be easier to modify the command and then I can succeed.’ With this thought in his mind, Dhruv began to think about what could have caused this.
He quickly brought out his notebook from the ring and wrote a sentence in it.
’Fuse the meat with slime.’ This was the command he had given to the white light before the fusion of the slime.
At the start, he had thought that this sentence was perfect, but now... now that he was looking at it result of the fusion, he soon realized it wasn’t perfect after all.
After thinking for a few minutes he began to find problems with the command. The main problem was that he had commanded to directly let the meat with the slime.
From that previous experiment, he knew that it wasn’t impossible to do this type of fusion, but there were some things had to be kept in mind for the fusion to be successful.
The first and foremost thing was the strength. The strength of the creature matters the most during a fusion.
After strength, if the purpose is to get an optimal result without any problems, then the species of both ’the target of the fusion’ and ’the one on which the fusion is going to be done’ should be the same.
But here... here not only both of them were of a different species, but even on top of this, one was at tier 1 while the other was at tier 3. With this much difference, it should have been evident that this type of reaction was normal.
Sigh!!
Dhruv let out a deep breath, then started listing all the mistakes he’d made in his notebook. After finishing that, he sat on his throne and thought about more commands that might be effective.
After thinking for a few minutes, Dhruv found what to modify. Following that, he wrote four new commands that he thought might work. Now, with a new command in his hand, he looked at the group of slimes once again.
’You will be the chosen one.’ After modifying the meme, he picked one of the slimes and put it in the metal box once again.
Looking at the slime he was about to put the slice of the meat in the box but stopped when he remembered something.
’I need to check the essence point before proceeding with the experiment, he thought. Dhruv recalled that the previous slime had no essence in its name; it was completely broke.
Without wasting any time he brought out his glasses from the ring and placed them over his eyes. Looking at the monster in front of him, he injected some of his mana.
Quickly, one section from the slime’s status was displayed in front of him.
[Tier: 1]
Dhruv rarely gets to see the intended section on the first try, so he doesn’t think of this as any problem and continues to inject the mana into the glasses.
[Skill point: 0]
He didn’t get it this time either. Not wasting even a second thinking, he injected the mana once again. This time he had gotten the name of the slime, which obviously came as blank.
On his third try, he got a list of slime mutations. The fourth try was wasted on showing the slime’s tier. Finally, on his fifth try, he got what he wanted.
[Essence point: 1]
’So, this one has one essence point...’ Dhruv frowned as he tried to figure out from where this slime had got his hands on some essence point.
It didn’t take him long to figure out why this one has one essence point.
After being born from a tier 3 slime, he must have eaten some of the goblin’s parts that were near it. Considering how fast these things are in terms of eating anything...Dhruv was quite confident in his theory.
The reason he wanted to know the essence point of the slime was so that he could compare it to the essence point after the fusion... if the fusion had been successful, of course.
When everything was done Dhruv infused a layer of metal on top of the meat and threw it in the box with the slime. Without a second thought, he whispered.
"True fusion..."
The moment those words left his mouth, a white orb materialized in his hand. This was the orb in which the fusion was going to happen. Keeping the orb in his hand, Dhruv thought of a command.
’Fuse the meat with the slime essence.’
This time, he had changed the command ever so slightly. Instead of fusing it directly with the slime, he had instead fused the meat with the essence of the slime
With this command, Dhruv was hoping that after fusing with the essence of the slime, it could increase it or have some type of effect on it.
After getting the command, the orb quickly left his hand and traveled toward the slime. The moment the orb touched the slime body, it enveloped the slime and the meat inside itself.
To not cause any problem with the fusion, Dhruv released the metal infusion from the meat. He had done it a moment before orb touching the slime.
After five seconds, the dome had begun to fizzle out from reality. A second later, the white dome had completely gone, and now there was only a slime left in the box.
’Well, it didn’t explode, so that is a step at least.’ Letting a chuckle out, Dhruv looks at the slime in front of him. The moment his gaze had landed on the slime, he noticed something.
