"So that's your egg, Veldora. It doesn't feel like a normal creature's egg. Veldora, do you know what kind of creature's egg this is?" Rimuru sensed the holy magic reaction in the air. He didn't see the thief's figure, but for a moment he didn't dare touch the egg either, because the egg itself gave him an extraordinary feeling, similar to how he felt when facing Veldora.
Although Veldora said he had picked it up, Rimuru really doubted if the creature inside the egg was a Dragon Species. It already had such a strong magicule reaction before even hatching; when it did hatch, it might be as strong as Veldora.
Veldora was silent for a while, then said somewhat uncertainly, "No, I do not know. However, your guess is not without merit, Rimuru. It really could be a Dragon Species, or perhaps the egg of some other primordial race. But that would be too illogical..."
The giant dragon stopped speaking.
He seemed unable to figure it out either.
Rimuru understood the severity through Veldora's words. It seemed the creature inside that egg was indeed a very powerful and rare existence, but since it hadn't hatched yet, there was no need to worry for now. Instead, the fact that the thief was nowhere to be seen concerned him more. And what he was more curious about was: for what reason did the thief steal Veldora's egg? It didn't look like it was meant to be food; rather, the way those spider silks were woven looked more like a cradle, as if the thief wanted to hatch the egg.
That thief must be
nearby. Rimuru didn't believe the opponent wouldn't be home at a time like this, especially since the egg looked like it had already started hatching.
However, Magic Perception couldn't find the thief. Did that mean the opponent possessed skills of that type? And since they hadn't attacked immediately, he could judge that the opponent, like himself and Veldora, possessed a personality and thinking ability. In other words, they should be able to communicate. But looking at the situation, it seemed the opponent hadn't considered communicating from the start.
"I'll introduce myself for now. My name is Rimuru Tempest, a friend of the Storm Dragon Veldora. I heard you stole Veldora's egg, and I'm here to negotiate with you. I have no ill will. Could you please come out and meet me?"
He transmitted his meaning through the Magic Perception skill. Since he didn't yet have a vocalization skill and a Slime didn't possess such organs, he could only communicate in this manner.
Shiro, hiding above the Slime, did not answer. She was simply waiting for the moment this Slime called Rimuru let his guard down. There was no need to answer; there was no room for negotiation in this matter, because her only task in this world was to protect Tsukasa.
Rimuru sighed; the opponent clearly had no intention of responding. Perhaps they were hiding somewhere, planning to ambush him. 'Ah, if I really get ambushed, it'll be a headache,' he thought. He wasn't sure if he could withstand the opponent's attack. So, although it might offend them, he had to find a way to force them out. He looked at the egg.
Then, he gathered strength in his body, bounced off the ground, and shot straight out like a baseball hit into the air.
Shiro, who was still waiting for an opportunity, saw the Slime's movement and, enraged, leaped off the wall, swinging the scythe in her hand to cleave the Slime in two. Both Rimuru's spring-like jump and Shiro's attack startled each other. Although Rimuru's plan succeeded, he hadn't expected Shiro's speed to be so incredibly fast, even faster than his propelled jump! She instantly caught up and slashed at him. If he hadn't split his body in time to dodge that blow, it would have been dangerous just now.
The Slime's soft, viscous body reassembled. The spider stretched its scythe-like forelegs, staring at the Slime with intense killing intent. Its extremely evil appearance was truly terrifying, but for some reason, Rimuru actually found this spider very imposing, because this spider was just like an Alien!
A ferocious appearance, blade-like legs, two large scythes, a pure white body, but with an outer shell texture like metal. On its back were two sharp horns, and beneath a mask-like face, two exposed fangs emitted terrifying venom.
One look was enough to tell it was fierce and powerful.
Rimuru really believed Veldora's nonsense. You call this big guy a little spider? This is clearly an Alien; people could die. And if Great Sage hadn't warned him in time about the previous attack, he might have been injured. After all, he never imagined the opponent would have such a perverse attribute as instant death attacks.

The Scythe of the Dusk Reaper used to be just a rare monster with special attributes. Although its growth value was not low, it was still far from a fantasy species like the Dragon Species.
But now, this unique Scythe of the Dusk Reaper, having evolved with divine blessing, has a growth value comparable to a Dragon Species, and its passive abilities are terrifying.
Just now, if Rimuru hadn't received Great Sage's reminder, facing Shiro with her double instant death attack bonus, he really could have been severely wounded, or even died.
If it were in Shiro's original world, this clone of hers would be almost invincible, but it's clear that this world is much larger than her original world.
Even a mere Slime has higher attributes than her current form, which makes the spider almost disbelieving.
Rimuru, with lingering fear, widened the distance between them. He absolutely did not want to be hit by an instant death attack. Although Great Sage analyzed that the opponent's skill had a probability of triggering, he didn't want to gamble his life against the opponent's luck.
"Hello, I apologize for my rudeness just now. I'd like to talk to you; I have no intention of fighting," Rimuru said, trembling.
He was just a weak Slime.
He really didn't want to fight.
