Chapter 55: Elizabeth’s Coven

However, what happened next completely overturned his worldview.

The exuberant witches started experimenting on the spot and began to practice their meditation with the Slimes, their rampaging spiritual power killing them one after another.

After all, these Slimes didn't have the unique spiritual quality of the Evil Eyes. They were the weakest of magical creatures and could only be used once like those pitiful men.

"Oh my God! These are witches, right? This is a world dominated by witches"

Future Skywhale who was hiding among the Slimes trembled in fear. He dreaded being found by those witches.

In the end, he cleverly took advantage of their lack of attention and played dead, hiding himself among the Slimes that had been r*ped to death. Thanks to that, he could escape that kind of brutal torture. Had a witch treated him like that, there was no way his sense of dignity would have survived.

If he had been a man, he might have been willing, but he was a Slime now!

The witches resumed their discussion.

"Yes, the cultivation speed is not bad. I feel like my bottleneck to becoming a Third Level Witch is loosening. Though each of them can only be used once, theyre so much better than those slimy and disgusting Evil Eyes Weve killed enough of them, let's bring them back and try to breed them."

"This is a great discovery, we've found a species that can replace the Evil Eye." The group of witches chattered on. They were very excited. "Our mentor, the great Level Five Witch Adeline, will reward our class."

They chattered on as they walked away.

Behind them, Slime corpses littered the ground. It was an extremely miserable scene.

Only Future Skywhale who was playing dead was spared.

"Those girls were wearing witch robes, could it be that this is a witch's world? But those were definitely wicked witches. They were so slutty, dark, evil, and downright shameless! To do such an evil thing to a creature that cute!"

Future Skywhale was grief-stricken!

He hadnt expected this. He had just arrived in this world with his species, but before he could lead them to dominate the world, theyve all been captured, and he was now a king left with no subjects.

He recalled the joking comment that a player had made earlier:

"Hes clearly got his priorities straight. Look at that muscular arm! That arm is ten times stronger than any arm in history! Its enough to make any woman swoon! (?)"

He broke down crying.

Those witches were swooning all right. Was this fate?

I will never mention this dark history to anyone, ever!

A thousand years later, the Spear of Witchcraft recorded thus:

[The Kingdom of Babylon, year 301. The most mysterious existence among historys great mages, the enigmatic great emperor Grantham who ruled over Alchemy and the Gate of Truth, appeared for the first time in the Bolkara great forest. To this day, no one knows what race the Emperor of Alchemy truly belonged to, or why he hated the wicked witches so much!]

.

Haha!!!

"That's tragic."

Xu Zhi couldn't help but laugh out loud. He laughed so hard that his stomach cramped up. "Before, it was Evil Eye Tentacles PLAY, now it's Slime Tentacles PLAY."

Shortly after the evil witches were gone, a couple of women in gorgeous black witch robes came out of the lush woods. "They're gone now. How could they harm such adorable creatures? Oh, there's still one lucky survivor?"

Another groups coming!

They noticed that I was playing dead!

I'm done for!

Future Skywhale had given up, but these witches were different from the other ones and surreptitiously brought him home with them.

They were obviously much poorer, and were packed together in a small room as they discussed adopting him. In the end, he became their pet.

During his time as a pet, he listened to the witches talking and secretly learned the language of this world.

After all, he wasn't Xu Zhi.

Without the Tyranis Hive Mind to help him translate, he could only learn their language from scratch, and in doing so, he discovered that this world had a miraculous power called magic, and those women could use all kinds of magical spells. It was truly unbelievable.

Three years passed by, and he gradually learned that worlds native language.

But as a pet, he naturally had an extremely difficult time.

"This game is too hardcore. You have to eat, drink, sleep, and even learn the local language from scratch just like youd learn a foreign language on Earth. It's truly another world And whats even more hardcore, your sense of pain, along with the five senses, are forcefully set to 100 percent! This is truly a second life. If I die here, the pain will be the same as in reality, and if I am tortured and skinned alive by the natives, then I will ."

This made him very cautious with his life, and he gradually came to understand the workings of this world.

In this world, evil witches were in charge, and men had a tragically low status. The destitute witches before him were a group of orthodox good witches composed of only seven girls, who called themselves members of "Elizabeths Coven."

This was their secret hideout where they kept him as a pet.

They formed their own coven, supported each other, and swore to fight against the tyranny of the Rose Sect!

But in Future Skywhale's eyes, their aspirations were only the laughable dreams of naive little girls. After all, he knew how weak these witches were: the strongest among them, Elizabeth, was only a Level Two Witch.

On this day, these seven cute little witches had once again gathered in their coven to discuss matters.

Melly, a cute little blonde witch with bright blue eyes, started: "Elizabeth, have you heard? In the Rose Kingdom, the Slime has become the second creature after the Evil Eye to be officially recognized as a familiar which can be used by those evil witches to cultivate their magic."

Elizabeth, a tall and slim girl with black eyes and black hair, excitedly replied: "Although Slimes can only be used once, their cute appearance makes them super popular, and while theyre extremely weak, they have amazing reproductive capabilities and you can find them bouncing around everywhere in the wild. Unlike with men, you dont have to worry about them going extinct, and can buy them for ten Rose Coins each."

"Isn't that super cheap? A lot of spell components are a dozen or so Rose Coins. My trainee wizard's staff costs three hundred Rose Coins and can buy thirty Slimes!"

"I heard that it was because of the Slime's appearance that the demand for men from our Kingdom of Babylon has eased up a lot. Lady Lilith said that the appearance of the Slime has saved the Kingdom of Babylon."

"Thats right. The Slime species is truly our savior. With their simple makeup, its like they were born to help those evil witches cultivate their magic."

The group of little girls chattered on merrily.

..

O my kin!

We came to conquer this foreign world and found a new dynasty, but who knew

Listening to them, Future Skywhale, who was normally a calm and level-headed middle-aged uncle, was completely devastated!

Havent I already been shamed enough? As an exalted otherworld traveler, my species ended up like THIS. And now youre even calling me your goddamn Savior, thanking my species for suffering on your behalf, and easing the pain and suffering of your men?

I want to be the Messiah, but not like this!

Future Skywhale felt that it was finally time to speak up. "Help me. I can lead you in the fight against the evil witches. Together, we can save you orthodox witches as well as my own Slime species!"

This Slime can talk?

At that moment, all the witches gathered in the room were stunned.
