"So why am I here, Xanda? And where is here exactly?" Looking around once more, I didn't see anything new apart from the additional slime left by the twelve dead slimes and the one dwarf lying in a pool of his own blood who wouldn't renounce his god, Dwargo, for the primordial demoness Lilith, and her church.
"As for the why, you are here because I resurrected you here. And as for the where, you are in the dwarven kingdom."
"But I need to find someone in Eden," as per Adam's advice – a senile old man who will give me my second job that will allow me to extract materials from everything and anything, which I could then use for many purposes, such as making money, for instance, or commissioning craftsman to make equipment that I could then feed to my Maou's set, strengthening it.
"Forget about Eden for the time being and focus on the dwarven kingdom for now."
"And why should I do that?" I asked, crossing my arms underneath my voluptuous, supple breasts. Since I was wearing a matte breastplate of the maou, there were no boob physics, you perverts.
"Because Eden woke up… and it's too early for her to know of your existence, that of the second true Maou."
"And what happens if she does?" She will kill me, and then I will resurrect. No big deal.
"If Eden becomes aware of your existence, she will track you down no matter where you might be, and then she will kill you, but not before torturing you, as that is what she did with the first true Maou. She might even add rape into the mix as you are a woman. You will beg for death. However, she will deny it. Time and time again. And finally, when you are just a lifeless, mindless, broken thing, she will kill you. That will be the end. Don't even think for a second that it won't be, as I won't be able to resurrect you. Just how I wasn't able to resurrect the first true Maou…"

Disgusting… Vile… Gross… And similar thoughts raced through my mind: How was this okay to have in a game? Slavery was one thing, but torture and rape? I should quit right here and now before I experience any of those things… And make my little brother do the same…
Calm down… It's probably just for flavor… But I had to make sure; so I messaged Xebec.

That was the end of our conversation, and against my better judgment, I listened to Xebec.
"I suggest that you don't reveal yourself, lay low, build up your strength, and then do to Eden what Eden will do to you."
"I will kill her, but that's it," I was going to do just that and nothing more; nothing else.
"Don't use name, promote, or the dark element either."
"Anything else?" This was getting annoying.
"When the egg that I gave you hatches, name it immediately."
"You are contradicting yourself, Xanda."
But I didn't get a response; however, it didn't matter. It was time for me to leave anyhow, exiting through the only drift[1] and entering a tunnel. It was not dark, however, as there was illumination from the very same torches that I saw in the previous stope[2].

It was a very small slime, half the size of other slimes, but black in color.

The morphing slime transformed into a dwarf right before my eyes, a dwarf I had seen before. He was one of the three dwarves I saved. It was a perfect copy. Then, she was the second dwarf I saved. Finally, he was the third dwarf I saved. It went through them all.
"Can you transform into a weapon? Like a sword?" What was wrong with me? I should have asked why it could transform into those dwarves and not if it could transform into a weapon, a sword.
The morphing slime transformed into a simple one-handed sword, but it didn't topple over because two tentacles sprouted from the handle, allowing it to support itself. "I am taking you with me."
"Name me, Maou!"
"I name you weapon," It should be fine…
<
"What did I just say!" Xanda was not happy. But neither was I, "Well fuck!"
"Retract your apendages." I picked up the one-handed sword.
<

I wonder if—I finished my thought by saying, "I promote you to right-hand."
"Maou!"
"Don't talk, you are my weapon, nothing else," I reprimanded it.
<

Is it the same as maou's set? I pulled out a frail stick. "Transform into this."
Weapon transformed back into its slime form while still in my hand. It felt slimy and cold but not revolting.
A tentacle sprouted forth from its body, taking the frail stick and eating it. I saw it dissolve in its body. And then it transformed into it.
