My Right Hand Is Too Strong Episode 10

Episode 10. Tower of Recording (4)

I tilted my head back and looked up at the Giant Black Slime.

As if trying to threaten me, it was constantly writhing its created tentacles while devouring the steel that other slimes had brought to it.

“Does that taste good?”

“Squeak.”

“…Do you understand what I’m saying?”

“Squeak?”

What am I even saying.

I’ve never heard of monsters understanding human speech.

Besides, if it could understand, it would feel awkward when hitting it, so it’s better that it can’t.

I let out a small sigh and slowly raised my right hand.

Then the slime stopped eating the ore.

It began shooting bundles of tentacles toward me again.

‘As expected, this doesn’t hurt.’

Even without using my right arm as a shield to block, this much doesn’t hurt.

So I decided to learn by ‘taking hits’ this time too.

Just like I did with the Guardian of the Tutorial Tower.

‘It’s really bouncy.’

Taking the slime’s tentacles head-on, I thought that.

This thing is incredibly springy.

No wonder it was fine even when I punched it so hard.

I firmly grabbed one of the shooting tentacles with my right hand.

“Squeak!?”

When I grabbed the tentacle, the slime made a surprised sound.

I lightly flicked the grabbed tentacle with my left index finger.

The tentacle trembled.

Soon, the full force of the flick was transmitted to my right hand that was holding it.

“So it does reflect impact.”

Hitting it won’t work then.

In that case…

“Should I try tearing it apart?”

“…Squeak?”

The slime suddenly stopped its tentacle barrage.

I firmly gripped another tentacle of the conveniently stopped slime with my left hand and pulled it long.

“Oh. It stretches pretty well?”

The more I stretched it, the more it extended smoothly.

To the point where tearing it off was practically impossible.

“Squeak.”

The tentacle began wriggling again.

Still not letting go of the tentacle, I smiled slightly.

“Right. It would be impossible.”

If my hand were ordinary.

Smiling crookedly, I pulled the tentacle I was holding with my left hand with all my might.

“Squee!?”

Strrretch.

It extends.

The tentacle extends long.

Very long.

That stretched tentacle.

“Yep.”

I pressed down on it with the Black Dragon’s sharp claws.

At that moment, the tentacle was cut clean through.

The moment it separated from the main body, the bouncy slime lost its properties and became mushy.

I brushed off the sticky slime on my left hand onto the ground and grinned wickedly.

“I found… the strategy?”

“Squee, squeak…!”

“You were hitting me so enthusiastically earlier?”

Hesitation.

The giant creature hesitates and backs away.

I took a step toward it while rolling my shoulders.

“Why are you running away? Are you scared or something?”

Trembling.

The creature’s body, which had been full of arrogance just moments ago, began trembling finely.

It’s hard to call it a mistake.

Right now, because it was shaking its own body, the creature’s slime was constantly quivering.

I kicked off the ground hard and rushed toward it.

The Black Dragon’s black claws glinted as they reflected the sunlight.

Five daggers aimed at the creature.

Five claws with blades sharp enough to cut through anything came rushing to tear it apart.

The slime quickly deployed its tentacles upon seeing those claws.

‘One, two, three… three?’

Why on earth?

Until now, the creature had been generously creating tentacles.

But now only three.

For a choice made by a retreating creature, it’s a bit strange…

“Ah. I see?”

Grin.

I grinned wickedly at the slime that had suddenly stopped trembling.

“That wasn’t trembling, was it?”

“…!”

That slime absorbs the impact dealt to it and reflects it back.

The fine trembling is also impact dealt to the slime itself.

And it stores that impact in its body, moves it to the tips of its tentacles, and shoots it at me.

However.

“Not a chance.”

Step.

I moved one step to the side and narrowly dodged the shooting tentacle.

The tentacle grazed my shoulder.

I thrust the Black Dragon’s claws toward that thin body.

“One.”

Snap.

The tentacle was cut off just like that.

Following that, another tentacle came crashing down toward me head-first.

“Two.”

I lightly kicked off the ground backward and dodged the striking tentacle.

Soon after cutting off the tentacle stuck in the ground with my claws, I looked at the slime that was trembling even more violently along with the last remaining tentacle.

It no longer created any more tentacles.

The single remaining tentacle.

It was only gathering all its power there.

“Kyung!”

Swish-crack!

A single tentacle shot through the air, cutting through the wind.

The dark-colored tentacle flew straight toward my forehead with perfect accuracy.

I didn’t dodge the shooting tentacle.

I simply aligned my right fingers together and thrust them toward the incoming tentacle.

“Kyuuk!?”

Boom!

The tentacle exploded on impact.

Covered head to toe in black slime, I frowned and spat on the ground.

“What kind of taste is this.”

It reeks of iron.

I was already tasting blood in my mouth from biting the inside of my cheek.

But the metallic stench from the slime was incomparably worse than that.

After spitting out the slime that had gotten in my mouth, I walked steadily toward the slime.

The creature was no longer trembling, just staring at me blankly.

“Sorry, but farewell.”

Swish.

Raising my right hand, I swung my sharp nails toward the Giant Black Slime.

At that moment.

“Huh?”

Poof!

With a puff of smoke, the Giant Slime disappeared.

Eyes wide with surprise, I frantically looked around.

Where did it go?

It suddenly vanished.

That massive body disappeared in an instant.

This doesn’t make sense…

“…”

“…”

I quietly looked down at my feet.

At the spot where the Giant Slime had been.

There was a normal-sized slime bouncing around like an ordinary slime.

The only differences were that it was familiarly dark-colored and.

“Hey.”

“Kyup!”

It trembled when I called to it?

I watched with cold eyes as the creature tried to hide among the other slimes.

So it could shrink its body size.

Letting out a long sigh, I grabbed the creature with my left hand as it tried to hide among the blue slimes.

“Where do you think you’re going.”

“Kyung! Kyuung, kyung!”

“I don’t want to do this either, but I have to if I want to move to the next floor. Sorry about this.”

“Kyuuuk!”

And you tried to kill me too.

I hate to say this, but you threw the first punch.

This can’t be helped.

I raised my right hand toward the creature struggling in my grip.

“I’ll send you off painlessly.”

Farewell.

I thrust my right hand into the black slime.

Drip, drip.

Black slime falling to the ground.

It was over.

Letting out a long sigh, I glanced to the side.

[Compatibility Rate 1.5%]

Ha.

Finally made it.

This damn Black Dragon bastard.

What? You’ll take over my body if I don’t reach 1.5%?

“Bullshit.”

Ugh, I’m exhausted.

I collapsed to the ground as sudden mental fatigue washed over me.

[You have successfully achieved a compatibility rate of 1.5% or higher.]

[The Guardian of the Twisted Underworld is reasonably satisfied with your actions.]

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld says he will postpone taking over your body for later.]

Wow, what bullshit.

Don’t postpone it.

Just give up.

I don’t know why I’m suffering like this just because I got one skill wrong.

Other people probably don’t go through this.

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld instinctively finds this space appealing.]

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld makes you a proposal.]

[Conquer the Tower of Recording!]

A proposal?

My eyes widened.

It wasn’t a declaration.

It was a proposal.

And proposals are usually words used when asking for someone’s opinion, not forcing them.

“…If it’s a proposal, does that mean I don’t have to accept?”

[That’s correct.]

[However, there will also be a reward if you succeed.]

A reward.

I nodded as if to say, let’s hear it.

[If you successfully conquer the Tower of Recording, you will escape from a life-threatening crisis once.]

Escape from a life-threatening crisis?

This is big.

Unless it’s the Tutorial Tower, the danger of death always lurks.

To block that once.

There was no reason to refuse this proposal.

“What if I fail?”

[There will be no penalty whatsoever.]

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld will just be a little disappointed.]

Disappointed…

“Fine. I accept.”

I was planning to climb the Tower of Recording to the end anyway, no matter how long it took.

There’s no other reason.

You get a unique skill when you clear the Tower of Recording anyway.

So I was planning to climb the Tower of Recording to the end even without the Black Dragon’s proposal.

When you’ve decided to live as a Hunter, would anyone give that up?

But to even give me a 1-time life token.

It was practically a proposal at the level of getting something for free.

And above all.

[The Lord of the Twisted Underworld is extremely satisfied with your choice.]

Refusing in the first place would have been a choice that disappointed the ‘Black Dragon’.

If I had refused, there was a 99% chance the Black Dragon would have forced me to climb the Tower by setting ridiculous conditions like ‘achieve 2% compatibility rate within a week’.

Thinking about that, choosing this side without a set time limit would be much more comfortable.

‘That aside, he likes the Tower?’

The reason the ‘Black Dragon’ made such a radical proposal was because he instinctively liked the Tower.

It feels like the ‘Black Dragon’ knows something about this Tower…

‘There’s no way he’d answer if I asked.’

This guy didn’t even properly answer about the compatibility rate.

There’s no way he would.

I let out a small sigh and turned my gaze to check the other System Message that had been floating there since earlier.

[Eliminate the slime]

[1/1]

[Success]

[Moving to the next floor]

The system notifying me of success.

As expected, this guy must have been the slime the system was talking about.

I finally canceled the Black Dragon that I had been using almost constantly…

“…?”

As soon as I released the Black Dragon, I felt a damp sensation in my left hand.

I tilted my head in confusion and shifted my gaze to my left hand.

There was.

“…A snake?”

A snake with a somewhat familiar dark color was firmly grasped in my left hand, struggling.

What is this.

When was I holding a snake?

I was definitely holding that dark-colored slime with my left hand…

“No way.”

I widened my eyes and looked at the snake.

“Were you that slime?”

“Squeak!”

I gaped at the unbelievable fact.

The color of its scales was so familiar.

So I asked, but who would have thought it was real.

“No, why would a snake pretend to be a slime?”

“…Squeak.”

After hearing my voice, it quietly turned its gaze away.

Then it nodded its head as if telling me to look over there.

I blinked blankly at that sight.

‘What is this.’

Does this thing understand what I’m saying?

I let out a hollow laugh and turned my gaze to where it was looking.

There, the slimes holding ores were in chaos over the disappearance of their leader.

“…You did that because the slimes would bring you ores if you pretended to be the slime king?”

“Squeak.”

“This is crazy.”

It really does understand what I’m saying.

I’m going insane.

What is this thing again.

I’ve never heard of a monster that understands human speech.

And yet what?

It mimics being a slime to survive comfortably?

“Is this really a monster?”

It’s too smart to be called a monster.

Wait a minute.

If it’s this smart, it might know.

Just as I was about to open my mouth to ask this struggling creature in my left hand about this Tower.

“Ah.”

Whoooosh-!

Bright light rising from beneath my feet.

Along with the bright light, a floating sensation envelops my body.

Damn it.

Is there no way to stop this?

“Wait, time out!”

I still have things I want to ask this creature.

So stop.

Stop, I said.

I desperately wished strongly toward the system.

Skills are activated through wishing.

So I wish.

I wish to the system.

But.

[4th Floor]

[Find the World Tree]

[Not achieved]

The damn system didn’t listen to me.

The 4th Floor I arrived at as the floating sensation disappeared.

This place was also a forest, just like the 3rd Floor.

It was an ordinary forest where all the surrounding slimes had disappeared.

Left alone in it, I gritted my teeth and clenched both hands tightly.

“…Gueek.”

“…?”

Blink.

I stupidly blinked and looked at my left hand where the sound came from.

There was a dark-colored snake with its tongue hanging out limply, completely drained.
