The next day in Tempest, in the training grounds where everyone is taking their morning practice from Hakuro and Benimaru.

Gaberu and his squad was watching with baffled expression, dust and dirt were flying everywhere, even the smallest Goblin's swing made the air move like a storm.

"G-Gaberu-sama...those guys are absurd!"

"That guy just cut a boulder to dust!!" They pointed at Hakuro who was teaching a bunch of his students.

"And that guy just melted the steel swords!!" They pointed at Benimaru again who was sparring with a few Hobgoblins and Wolves.

"W-well, they are named Monsters after all." Gaberu lost his fighting spirit, just the by the look of it he doesn't seem to fit at all.

"But isn't Gaberu-sama a named Monster too." Another Lizardman said while wondering.

Gaberu sighed "There is a vast difference, the guy that named me is dead and he was a huge weakling, don't compare him to Acnologia-dono you lots, If only I got named by Acnologia-dono, I can even evolve." Gaberu's heart was filled with jealousy, he was sad and in need of comfort. And at that moment, a wild pink haired girl passed by "Oh! This little girl is...?" He remembered seeing her yesterday in the celebration "Hey,. Little girl, what are you doing here? This place is dangerous you know." Gaberu stopped Milim, afraid she may get hurt.

Gaberu noticed Milim trembling and chuckled "Don't be afraid, this great Gaberu will--"

*Boooom!!* Well....he was sent flying with a ruthless punch that made him travel across Tempest.

"GABERU-SAMA!!!" His subordinates followed after him.

"Ga!! Crap! My hand slipped!" Milim got worried, she promised her bestie to not hurt anyone, she looked around her to see everyone looking at her with judging eyes "Wha! He started it! I didn't mean to..." Milim's eyes started tearing down and sniffing before she turned around to run crying "My Dinner!!" She shouted.

...

Meanwhile, in the palace, Acnologia was in a meeting with Veldora, Irene, and Rimuru.

"So you mean we can build a new body from scratch?" Veldora said "Like a doll?"

Irene shook her head "No, I am talking about the perfect body in existence."

Acnologia thought for a moment "But wait a second, I am have my shape shifter skill, I can devour and posses any body and use it as my own. Why do we need to build a new body?" He asked, to him, this is the easiest route.

Irene smiled "The answer is simple..." In the blink of a second, Irene flashed in front of Acnologia and pushed her palm into his chest, a loud echo boomed inside the room and Acnologia fell lifeless to the ground.

"Brother!!" Rimuru shouted.

Veldora just glanced at her hand where she was a holding a blue orb in her hand "I see..."

Irene looked at the orb and spoke "In the end it's magic skill that can be nullified, If the fact that you are using shape shift to fight, you will be quickly neutralized."

Acnologia was surprised, not for what she said, but how she pushed him out of his body "How did you do that? Magic don't work on me." He said.

Veldora sighed and spoke first "Counter spell, it's a cursed demon technique that is used to remove it negate the effect another spell, it usually don't work on high level skills...but Shape shifter is a low level skill."

"Curses, doesn't everyone just use different types of magic." Rimuru added "Like Curses can be classified as a dark magic. No?"

Irene shook her head "Think of it as racial talents, for example, dragons have their racial Dragon breath, no one can use a dragon breath if he is not a dragon, you can learn them, but they are nothing but trash if you don't have the racial talent for them. The same way for Curses, no one can use Curses better than a demon. And there is also divinity which is the counter of curses."

Rimuru had his eyes wide open as he was speaking with Great Sage, the amount of schooling he is getting by the great Sage made him dazzed.

"Curses..." Acnologia thought "Zeref created those chimeras to fight me, END was his most powerful one." Acnologia mumbled as he floated back to his body, bringing it back to life, he opened his eyes and spoke "I am convinced...Tell me your plan." He said.

Irene smiled "My plan is simple, I will crate a body the same way the first human body was created. There is nothing more perfect than a human body."

"Wouldn't a dragon body or something else be more powerful?" Rimuru tilted his head.

"If course, but where is the potential? The human body can be anything, Good or evil. A hero, A demon lord, A dragon born, a monster, anything as long as it neutered in that direction." Irene sounded proud of herself.

"Isn't that just homunculus magic?" Veldora commented "Tsk, I thought you were speaking about something great! Turns out it is just puppet breeding magic, Booooring~"

Irene had a blood vein on her forehead "You little...I said the same way the first one created!" Irene slammed her staff on Veldora's head "The perfect human's body needs five primary ingredients which I call Essences...Essence of nature, Essence of Light, Essence of Darkness, and the soul. However the last important thing is...the vessel, I failed many times in this step because I couldn't figure out the perfect one, a vessel that can hold all three essence at the same time and endure the transformation, but I finally figured it out...and that is... "

Tension going high like a game show, the only thing missing is the drums.

"SLIME!!" Irene said in joy, like a scientist who cured cancer "Only a slime body composition can handle the process of the creation of a new body, a body that can grow limitless, can't age, can't get sick, yet retaining all senses because of the essence of nature." Her expression was of pure joy as she spoke.

Veldora neared Rimuru and whispered "That's why her boobs are jiggling all day long, no? Kahaha!"

Rimuru was about to laugh when he saw a staff going down on Veldora burying him in the ground "What did you just say, huh?" Irene, like a thug grabbed Veldora's head "What is it about my boobs, huh?"

"N-I- didn't mean to!" Veldora spoke while his head is bleeding.

Irene looked at Rimuru and said "And you? You have something to say?"

"Wha?! I--T-This sounds like a video game quest!" Rimuru said with an awkward chuckle.

"What's that?" Irene and Acnologia asked.

"Nothing, just a game. Sounds legit though." Rimuru just waves his hand.

"And where do we get these anyways?" Acnologia asked while shaking his head at the idiots.

"For nature, we need to find the world tree, for darkness, we need to go to the underworld, and light we need to go to heaven." Irene said as she tapped her staff on Veldora's head.

"Heaven?" Acnologia frowned.

Irene just chuckled "Don't worry about it, we are not going to go there literally."

"Ok..." Acnologia shrugged his shoulders and stood up. "When do we start?" He asked.

Irene nodded "I'll go to my home today, I have a few things to get from there, Follow me there in a day or two."

"I don't know where you live." Acnologia said as he walked out with Irene while Rimuru was consulting Veldora who was still grabbing his head from that vicious staff hit.

"You can follow my scent." Irene responded.

"You think I am some dog?" Acnologia retorted.

Irene stopped in her track and looked at Acnologia "....'I smell more dragons, I will not stop until the--'"

"Okay fine! I get it! I will follow you later." Acnologia put his hand on her mouth.

Irene took his hand out and smiled "I'll see you later then." She said before she jumped off leaving a crater in the ground.

Acnologia sighed before he turned to leave, but not before he saw Rigurdo taking Gaberu out of a wall.

'is it just me or is there too many buildings getting destroyed?' Acnologia thought.
