Black energy wrapped around Slime#47's body as he cast, "Double Elemental Shield."

A five‑colored, transparent barrier formed around him in an instant.

Crack!

It was useless. The pitch‑black tentacle with black flames broke it in an instant and—Smack!—whipped Slime's body, sending him flying backward.

Two legs of the spider pierced into him, and the fox monster retracted her fist before it could even connect, with a grin and said coldly, "It's done…"

[ Ding! You have been heavily injured! ]

"Aura Recovery." He dumped his aura and tried to heal—but—Puk!—Second pair of spider legs pierced him at high speed before he could react, and his core was pierced with it.

[ Ding! Your core is destroyed! ]

[ Ding! You are dead! ]

"Too strong," Young Slime muttered as he opened his eyes to nothingness.

"Black tentacles with flames… that should be that sealed artifact ability. Two sets of limbs and heads should be another ability… but I don't know what they do. And the spider's metal body should be its ability…" he calculated the possible powers.

"Ahh, no choice. Let's go with rituals and hit the upper levels… but Will?" He finally fixed on eldritch power, but remembered he needed Will to perform that.

He didn't have enough Will to reach level 100 through unholy power.

With his current Will, he could reach at most level 60.

'If I perform it at level 60, I will be corrupted. As the level gets higher, more unholy power is required, which in turn requires more Will—something I lack,' he mused, feeling stuck.

"Mana Torrent Refinement requires resources. I could only perform it to reach Lv.50, and after that I ran out of crystals…" He clicked his tongue, then decided, "First, I'll perform the eldritch ritual—then use the Technique."

He'd felt it was a perfect plan.

He started the new timeline.

[ Reincarnating Slime#47! ]

[ Ding! Trait —Eternal Mastery {Mythic}— activated! ]

[ Locking Skills — Acid Fist {Lv.Max}; Evade {Lv.Max}; Human Tongue {Lv.1}; Demon Tongue {Lv.Max}; Fireball {Lv.Max}; Mana Shield {Lv.Max}; Meditation {Lv.Max}; Iron Body {Lv.Max}; Appraisal {Lv.Max}; Aura Meditation {Lv.Max}; Residual Pain Tolerance {Lv.Max}; Aura Recovery {Lv.Max}; Lightning Ball {Lv.Max}; Mana Meditation {Lv.Max}; Mana Torrent Refinement Technique {Lv.Max}; Wind Blade {Lv.Max}; Water Ball {Lv.Max}; Piercing Stone {Lv.Max}; Demonic Surge {Grade 1} {Lv.1} ]

[ Locking Masteries — Fist Mastery Tier 1; Fire Magic Rune Mastery Tier 1; Aura Mastery Tier 1; Mana Mastery Tier 1; Lightning Magic Rune Mastery Tier 1; Water Magic Rune Mastery Tier 1; Earth Magic Rune Mastery Tier 1; Wind Magic Rune Mastery Tier 1: 25% proficiency carried over! ]

'I didn't expect demonic magic would also be considered a skill and locked,' he grinned, slightly happy that his most powerful skill could be carried.

His mood improved slightly; he'd expected something special from the hundredth loop, but there was nothing—no reward, not even a trait, except for the Will stat increase, which he'd felt little for 100th loop.

[ Ding! You have leveled up to Lv.72! ]

Slime#47 performed the eldritch ritual and used the Mana Torrent Refinement Technique as planned.

"Status." He opened his status.

"Incredible… my reserves have increased by a very large margin. No wonder Tier 3 reserves are required to perform true magic. Tier 3 beings possess D in mana and aura… they can spam true magic…" He nodded at his improvement.

He only needed to reach level 80 to wield demonic magic like a Tier 3 being.

"And my Will is increased. In the next loop, I can use eldritch magic until level 70 and finally use Mana Torrent Refinement Technique," he muttered, planning for the next loop.

He then proceeded to train the demonic magic—Demonic Surge. He still had twenty days until he met those three sealed beings.

[ Ding! Demonic Surge proficiency +1 ]

[ —Demonic Surge {Grade 1} Lv.1—

—Proficiency: 39/100 ]

'Too slow,' he mused, eyeing the panel in his last moments, as a pitch-black tentacle pierced his core.

----

Timeline 78521452224.102

[ Ding! You have leveled up to Lv.70! ]

"Now use Mana Torrent Refinement Technique," he muttered, thinking his level would increase to 80 or more.

Then, in the next loop, he'd first use the unholy ritual to level up to Lv.80 and proceed to the technique, and the loop continues until he reaches the highest level possible.

"Ahhh!!" He roared in fury when he stopped at level 79. His Will didn't improve, breaking his plan. The higher the level, the more resources required to level up!

With a sigh, he formed the demonic force and practiced Demonic Surge.

[ Ding! Demonic Surge proficiency +1 ]

A fox claw pierced his core.

Timeline 78521452224.110

He leveled up to Lv.79.

He formed the demonic force and started practicing Demonic Surge.

He had planned to train his Will to perform more rituals, but except for getting beaten up in painful ways, there was no other good way.

He gave up after three loops as it didn't even budge, even after being burned by Elder Slime's Fireball.

Black energy wrapped around Young Slime's body as he zipped through the field.

[ Ding! Demonic Surge proficiency +1 ]

[ Ding! Demonic Surge leveled up to Lv.2! ]

[ —Skills—

—Demonic Surge {Grade 1} Lv.2—

—Proficiency: 1/100

—Coats the body with the demonic force for an all‑around boost.

—Increases endurance, agility, dexterity, and strength by 800%.

—Note: Can input more demonic force for more effect! ]

'Increased by 100%… I will train other true magic skills,' he mused, feeling that there should be hope after gaining other skills.

He'd stopped grinding Demonic Surge because it would take over fifty loops to get level 3 as it got tougher to train.

And mainly, he'd only get sixty days in each loop until he got killed by the sealed monsters.

"Demonic Cloak," he muttered as black energy wove itself into a cloak around his multicolored body.

The cloak was small, matching his size.

[ Ding! … ]

End of the chapter.

Tier 3 beings have D stats; In chapter 73, Elder slime said young slime had energy reserves almost close to tier 3 with E, but they are not equal; Hence, slime#47 could only use demonic surge for a few seconds.
