Tensei Kenja Episode 8

"We Got Some Monster Armor" is the eighth episode of the "Tensei Kenja" Anime adaptation.

Synopsis
To get some material so Geigel can make some armor for him, Yuji and his Slimes head to the volcano and hunt some Lesser Fire Dragons and a couple of rare Blue Lesser Fire Dragons. After they accomplish this, the Fire Dragon that lives in the center of the volcano emerges, possibly triggered by members of the Blue Moon of Salvation.

Summary
Geigel informs Yuji that he can't create any armor for him with the materials that he currently has. The problem was primarily due to his Slimes being stronger than what he could adequately provide them. Geigel's assistant doesn't believe Yuji's tamed monsters are nothing special; however, Geigel corrects him that paired with Yuji, they're a force to be reckoned with. Believing that creating armor for his monsters is out of the question, Geigel corrects him claiming they need some strong material for them. Showing a Lesser Fire Dragon orb, Geigel shows it to Yuji and explains how material factors create armor. Yuji figures that great material can produce great armor, and Geigel confirms it while suggesting that Yuji hunt for some blue Lesser Fire Dragon orbs. They are dragons that inhabit the mountain close to the town, but are notably rare and challenging to defeat. In return for a blue Lesser Fire Dragon orb, Geigel promises to craft something for him. Before Yuji heads off, he asks if there are normal dragons there, which Geigel claims he's never heard of anyone slaying one in his entire life.

Mindful of what Geigel said, Yuji heeds Geigel's advice, visits the Adventurer's Guild, and takes on a whole stack of requests related to the mountain area. The Receptionist informs Yuji that Lesser Fire Dragons are immune to magic-based attacks because their embedded gems and their durable scales are resilient against physical attacks. Although water is a Lesser Fire Dragon's weakness, water is scarce on the mountain, and water magic is too difficult for an ordinary person to use an adequate amount to defeat one of them. However, Yuji is confident in his water magic skills. The Receptionist also warns Yuji that he'll have to cross a river to reach the mountain and be careful of the Piranha swimming in said river. Not at all afraid, Yuji requests that he take on the requests to take on the Piranha as well.

Afterward, Yuji and his tamed monsters stand in close view of a volcano, and there, Yuji tames some Red Slime and, from one of them, learns that it's safe to go past the volcano. Upon reaching the river where the piranhas were located, Yuji casts a new spell called Slime Net to allow the Slimes to scour the river for the Piranhas. Eventually, a fire slime finds a hole, and when it doesn't return after a while, Mayusura follows it. Moments later, the two Slimes are chased by a piranha that gets entangled in the Slime Net. From there, Yuji pulls the Piranha to the surface and freezes it after it breaks out of the net. However, the Piranha breaks out from its frozen state, and then Yuji casts a fireball spell to defeat it.

Moving forward, Yuji encounters the Lesser Fire Dragons, and because his Slimes are too afraid to attack them, Yuji casts Water Cannon on one of them and collects its orb. Inspired by Yuji's actions, the Slimes attack the remaining Lesser Fire Dragons with the help of Yuji's Water Cannon. Once that was done, a Slime reports it found a Blue Lesser Fire Dragon and gets a visual of it. Coordinating with his Slimes, Yuji has ten Slimes surround the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon and cast Water Cannon on it. Their attempt to defeat it fails, so Yuji casts an ice spell on it, but that too isn't enough to defeat it. Hence, he casts an ice spell times ten to defeat the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon and orders his Slime to hunt the rest of the Lesser Fire Dragons on the mountain and call it a day.

Afterward, Yuji reports his successful subjugation of the Lesser Fire Dragons and the Piranha at the Adventurers Guild. The Receptionist also filled out an emergency survey form about the Piranha's abnormal activity. Later, Yuji visits Geigel's shop to deliver two Blue Lesser Fire Dragon orbs and two hundred and two Lesser Fire Dragon orbs. Keeping his promise to Yuji, he creates gear for Proud Wolf and Sura with the Blue Lesser Fire Dragon orbs. When the two monsters try out their new armor, it makes them move at an incredible speed. Doing a durability test, Yuji casts multiple stat-boosting spells on them they both manage to survive unscathed. Finally, Yuji uses an ice spell that creates a giant iceberg in the area they were practicing in.

Returning to Geigel's shop, Geigel warns that Yuji's offensive spells would break the gems used in the crafted armor, but a Fire Dragon would work. One lives in the volcano's center, but Geigel warns not to mess with it. As Yuji contemplates how to proceed and recalls the Receptionist filling out an emergency survey form, a Slime reports that the Lesser Fire Dragons are acting strange. Upon receiving a visual of the Lesser Fire Dragons, Yuji recalls how the monsters in Phastan acted similarly. Recalling the voice from the orb associated with the Blue Moon of Salvation, Yuji has Proud Wolf and a pack of Slimes investigates the area for anyone there. They spot a couple of men, each carrying two barrels on their backs, and just then, the volcano erupts with the Fire Dragon emerging from its center.
