Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 106: Tournament~Last pt1

Drinking last night was too extreme. Of course, not for me. No matter how much I drink, I'm not drunk. At such a time, I think it might be better not to have the Nullification Poison. After all, it was possible that food or drink could be poisoned. But I think everyone there more or less has resistance to poison. I was pretending to be drunk. I just like to drink alone. Those who drink too much are invited guests. It seemed like they could not forget the excitement of the battle they witnessed during the day .. They all kept talking about it and drinking until late at night. As a result, everyone looked exhausted towards the Colosseum the next morning.

In the Colosseum, all the contestants gathered, forming a line in the middle. Or instead of a line, it is a connected circle. They stood facing the audience. On the large monitor, the contestants were projected on the screen one by one, their appearances coming out well. In front of the contestants, I greeted everyone through the microphone. However, I haven't called Veldora since yesterday.

I dare not call him out as he was engrossed in creating the Underground LabyrinthDungeon. If he started raging again it would be troublesome, and at the same time that dangerous person also went along with him. If Milim were to come, he would definitely want him to participate in the tournament. I don't think that he would be satisfied just sending a replacement. For that reason, today's comments will be made by myself.

First things first, the contestants. I sent out a signal and the contestants were introduced one by one. The big screen changed for the introduction of every contestant who was going to fight today. First, the people who won the Battle Royal yesterday, the three people were introduced. As the representative of Souei's subordinate, the dragon Souka takes on the role of the Announcer. He gave a brief comment about the contestants who will be participating in today's match. Well, are we gonna start? First is Gozu. This friend ... I gave him "Name", "Gozurl". That's because he came out as a winner yesterday and as my compliment to him.

After she received that name, my magic power diminished, even though it only diminished as far as she could grow a little.

However, he was previously a high A-Rank. His race also progressed as Gyuuki [1]. The way his strength was now emanating from him, he felt like a completely different person from him yesterday. He has obtained Unique Skills 『Restrainer 』[2] and Additional Skills『 Former Self Regeneration 』. Although he did not receive any additional special abilities or skills, his physical strength was greatly enhanced. Unique Skills『 Ability to withstand ability is to create a space where he can put restraint on what ability can be used in that space. However, if the other party disagreed with it, the restraints within that space would be nullified. It was an ability with poor usability. Although it is possible to force the opponent to agree with it, but I think it depends on who the opponent is. If it was an opponent of the same rank, it would not have worked. Perhaps, like the Holy Barrier, that space creates rules where skills cannot be used. That's an interesting idea. Since I thought it could be useful (if I thought of a way to use it), I did not forget to absorb it with 『Covenant Lord Uriel』. Because it's under the Space series, it's easy to add it.

「First, first match champion yesterday, Gozurl! By stopping the 100-year conflict, he received the right to participate in this match! Its power gives rise to new winds that can sweep Tempest!」

Souka said those words cheerfully. Don't turn. Because he was funny, the audience became excited. With a tail, wings, and horn, there was no problem calling him "Funny".

「Next, Gozurl is the champion of the Underground LabyrinthDungeon that Tempest ~ is proud of! Watch power! And for those who are confident that they can defeat him, please head to the labyrinth !! 」

He said it with great spirit. He even advertised the labyrinth. Because it has not been opened to the public, it cannot yet be considered a Labyrinth. Well, after seeing its power, I don't know if there will be a labyrinth. I don't know how the first game will be. Even after being advertised like this, he would probably be defeated quickly. But I've thought about that. If he was defeated, then his challenger would earn an additional prize money. Well, that depends on the opponent. Everything will be decided by many.

Finally, Dagura. The eldest of Dagruel's three sons. I received greetings from Dagura, Ryura and Debura at the same time as the victory report yesterday.

I have been told that their father, Dagruel, sent them to this country so that they could learn things. 『We will do anything, even tasks. Please give us your permission to stay in this country, Demon Lord Rimuru-sama! 』

The three lowered their heads. Since it was troublesome, I decided to put them under Shion. After all, it was their desire.

They even wore clothes with "Shion for Life" written on it …

I knew that the reality was cruel, and it was only a matter of time before their illusions were broken, but that was their way of life. Their strength is very high. However, the eldest was the most balanced among the three, so he was quite strong.

「Next is the champion of the second match, Dagura !! Exuding only its incredible aura, all the evil spirits from the Great Jura Forest were blown away! His figure is certainly a masterpiece. If he became serious, who knows what would happen! How is such power against the executives [3] Tempest? Anticipation increasing! 」

During his introduction, Dagura waved his hands high. When compared to the calm fighting spirit [4] of Gozurl, I could feel the excess of strength. How high was the strength he held? Just like before, I did not speak anything to the Executive.

Then, the next one was Hero Masayuki [5]. It will become clear in today's game whether the ability of this person is a real problem or not. Although, maybe tomorrow because there are only four games today, so it all depends on a lot.

「And now, the champion of the third match yesterday, Hero Masayuki ~ !! No one could catch a glimpse of his incredible sword techniques! Because, at the same time his sword was unsheathed, his opponent was dead [6]! With his incredible strength he made his name famous – men who introduced himself as a young Hero.

There is no end to the person who is fascinated by her sweet mask [7]. They said with just one look in his eyes, no woman could resist falling in love with him! Ma ~ sa ~ yu ~ ki ~ !! For those who have seen the battle before, rejoice ~ !!! 」Is that true? Is this guy really popular? Or is Souka just making it up for the publicity? If so, she has an unexpected talent.t who mostly lies and compliments backhanded? What with it, announcement "Ma ~ sa ~ yu ~ ki ~ !!" If anyone takes his words seriously, then I think there is something wrong with their head. If he lost in the first round after that big speech, wouldn't he be embarrassed? Maybe that's the plan. If so, it's just harassment. If it was Souka, then without a doubt it was high class harassment [8].

The rest are special participants and executives. Start with Arnaud.

「Good ~ then, let's continue the introduction of contestants with special participants ~! The first introduction was for Holy Knight Arnaud Bauman! The name of a man known as the strongest Holy Knight! After a fierce fight against our Tempest executives, a friendship has bloomed ~! He aims for complete victory! The pride of a man does not allow a draw. To achieve his goal for a full victory, he will show his true strength this time ~! 」

Yep. Incredible ability, actually. Recognizing the side of Arnaud's face, I saw sweat hanging on his forehead. [9] What is he talking about? There is absolutely no need to say all that. Now the pressure is on him to win. Souka, are you really a Blood Sucking Demon? The way you corner them is not something that anyone does. As the foolish younger sister of Gabil, I never imagined you could be so cruel.

「Next, another special participant! Name's Damurada! Sent from a secret organization, he is a mysterious man! He aims to show off his combat prowess in this tournament ~! Can he display his strength as a mercenary!? The man who caught the Demon King Rimuru-sama flowers. Watch him all! 」

No, no. I'm not interested in him. Also, what is the problem with the secret organization you are talking about ….? Saying that while looking at me with a fearless smile. I'm glad there's no problem. I'm glad that even if the name is known it will be fine. Well, I have been warned about this, but I will stop it if it becomes a problem. "Let's continue! Another special participant ... a mysterious masked man who disturbs the Colosseum ~! The mask of an unknown lion ! Is he a champion of justice or a messenger of evil!? Really, what kind of alluring battle will he show us!? By the way, there was a message from a certain unknown person. 『I think you already know, but if you show an unsightly fight, prepare yourself. 』That's what the guy said. What does this message mean? I don't know, but it sounds fun ~! 」No, his fate is already sealed. Souka already knew that but she was still happy to corner him. I had no other choice but to pray for the luck of the Lion Mask being cornered at the match.

「Continue, final special participant. Best Battle Machine! In front of him, both Sacred and Evil [10] had no meaning! I have received a written introduction from an anonymous person. 『Beretta me, is the Strongest』 [11] That's all it says. However, isn't this the first real battle? How can it be the strongest? I really don't understand, but anyway! This increases our anticipation even higher! 」

No ~ I really didn't expect this, you know? He completed the arrogant introduction by force. Surely, the people who knew about Beretta's whereabouts were few, so her strength was unknown. So there was nothing wrong in his words.

「Now, from this point on a really strong one will make their appearance! The Tempest executives. Each one's ability was equal to a thousand warriors. First: Go ~ Bu ~ Ta ~ !! There were many who admired that nihilistic mask [12] - her, an elite warrior! Although he wanted to have fame as a genius, he was the best of all young warriors. What kind of alluring battle will he show us right now ?! 」

Stop that ssu ~ !! Maybe that's what Gobuta's heart is shouting at the moment. His face also turned pale, you know. That is, after all, he is in a miserable condition, similar to the half-san-oh Mask Lion, yes. If Gobuta is desperate, he might become serious.

「The next contestant is Gabil! Commander Hiryuu [13], a blue sky warrior. Will his dragon blood flowing in his body awaken an invincible warrior within him!? By the way, he's my real brother. Since Father is watching, you can't show us a miserable battle, you hear me ?! 」

Ah ……. No mercy, not even for his siblings. Of course not, because his appearance was to lead everyone to a corner. Since no one knew who was fighting whom, I might actually be able to see Gabil suddenly awaken. And since it's true that Abil is watching, I think I can look forward to it a little bit.

「That's for Spectacle [14]! Now we head to the Main Show [15]! Continuing the introduction, the God of the Order of Gerudo! High Tempest. An important guard with an impregnable defense! 」Eh, did he just say" a spectacle "? Of course, the people after this were really strong. He changed his tone and went into his serious introductory mode.

「Hakurou contestant, sword lord. Appointed as a Sword Arts Instructor [16], he is also the one who trained us. Shion Contestant, the number one secretary of Demon King Rimuru! Adjusting her intellectual appearance, she was a woman who could do anything. He not only protected Rimuru-sama, but also advised her. It could be said that she had monopolized the position that every woman craved for. 」Hah? Is there some kind of secret transaction? I couldn't help but notice that Shion nodded in satisfaction. Somehow or other, there is no mistake that some dark transactions have been made here.

「Souei-sama! He was my boss, and a longing man. Everything he did was perfect, but no one knew his true strength. I'm sure this time as well, he will definitely show us a great and incredible battle! 」

Moreover, his tone was serious but he was clearly blushing. Yeah, it's fine. 「Alright, the only contestant in this tournament who is not a humanoid but a beast [17], Ranga! Ruled as GuardPet Rimuru-sama, the superior wolf that allows no one to get close!

And now ... the main favorite of this tournament, the contestant Diablo! Needless to say but no one saw his true abilities in a head-on fight. Will any contestant this time be able to uncover his secret? Is there anyone who can do it!? It will be a match at all new levels!

The next contestant is the last contestant! The supreme commander of the tempest, contestant Benimaru! Among the subordinates of Demon Lord Rimuru-sama, his strength was said to be the most powerful, but how strong was he? Rumor has it that he has the same power as Souei-sama, but is that true!? It is time for the truth to be made clear in public! 」

As expected, the last introduction was normal. But who is the strongest? Honestly, I don't know. Diablo, Ranga, Souei, Benimaru.

Aside from the four strong, Shion and Beretta. Since they learned their techniques from Hakurou, they had recently leveled up ….. Also, that Lion Mask ... is the former Demon King Karion-san, right? Against a former Demon King, how far can our executives fight? I'm really looking forward to it.

When the introduction ended, many draws and matches were decided. Due to the number of participants, the match will be divided into two days. Four games on the first day and four on the second. Immediately after the draw, the names are filled out on the tournament chart. Result …

First Day1st Match..... Benimaru vs Gozurl2nd Match.... Souei vs Dagura3rd Match..... Gobuta vs Hero Match Masayuki4th ....... Gabil vs Ranga The 5th Day5 match ....... Arnaud vs Beretta6th Match …… Match mask lion vs Diablo7 match .. Hakurou vs Damurada8 match ..

That's result. Because the match was made fair and square by drawing a lot, so there was no hard feeling, but Gabil looked very miserable. His unique skill, "Tuner [18]", would work well if he matched an opponent he could win, but since his opponent was Ranga, it might be impossible to win. He wore an expression of despair. I hope he will keep working hard and show us his best. And then there is Gobuta .. If the hero is really on par with Hinata, the chances of Gobuta winning are nonexistent. But as far as testing the Hero's abilities, Gobuta might be a match for it. I also want him to work hard and do his best.

After this, it will be a very good game that I want to see. However, the Wisdom King Raphael had perfectly predicted the outcome of this match. That doesn't say anything, so it might be interesting. Since there is free will, there may be cases where the contestant's actions can reverse even 10,000 calculations, so as not to reach any conclusion. Conversely, if the contestants are manipulated, then it is possible to make a perfect estimate of 100%. Now, I somehow expected it, how will it be. Without delay, the first match had already begun.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

First match .... Benimaru vs Gozurl!

For some reason, they just glared at each other in the middle of the arena. No one showed any response to Souka's 「Start!」.

「Fufufu, how lucky it is to meet you in the first match.Benimaru-san, your reign as supreme commander will end today! Today and beyond will be known as the era of Gozurl-sama !!」

Gozurl made one statement at a time. This is ba ~ d. After receiving the name and gaining new strength, it seemed that he had become somewhat arrogant. Is this also ... rebellion against me [19] .. or so I want to think, but …

「Please keep an eye on me, Rimuru-sama! I, Gozurl, will be your new right-hand man. And if I do, I will take Shion-dono as my bride !!」

He respectfully bowed towards me, while declaring such things.

『Shion-sama is mine, our bride !!』

The crowd scoffs at him. It seemed like one part of the audience were all crazy fans of Shion. Real dumb. There's nothing I can do. Let the match begin …

「I understand, take the match seriously. I don't need stupid words.」

Since I said it to the microphone, it echoed throughout the Colosseum. The audience laughed out loud, I guess they thought this was just part of the show. Since I am serious, I am really grateful that they misunderstood.

"Start!"

Again, said Souka. This time it really started .ozurl made the first move. And thus, a huge magic formation suddenly appeared on the ground.

"Take this! The position of supreme commander will be mine! Unique expertise, 『Restrainer』, executed! 」

Oh, he sure didn't waste time using it. It was not an ability that a fool could use. The magic formation drawn on the ground .. is it prevention against cancellation? I'm impressed. However, no matter how I looked at it, Benimaru deliberately accepted it. Even when provoked to that extent, there were no signs of anger in him. After he is trusted as the supreme commander of this country, Benimaru's short temper disappears. And the now calm Benimaru was very strong. If he fought against Hakurou now, their swords would clash nonstop. It was after suppressing his physical strength to the same level of Hakurou. In other words, his sword skills were now on the same level as Hakurou. Without his short temper he could carefully listen to his opponent's words. Because it's growth. Due to Go Restrain Go Controller Go's controlling abilities, Gozurl's skills, magic, and swords are forbidden. [20] View note 「Wahahahaha! I heard that your specialty is the Inferno attack, right? How is that !? How does it feel to have your special technique sealed?! Just leave the position of supreme commander to me now, and I might make you my deputy commander. You can be my right hand, how about that? 」

Hmm.Gozurl is overjoyed. [22] It seems that it is a bad idea to share the name easily, as it seems that it could result in idiots like him en masse. Even if he is loyal to me, he does not consider the strength of his senpai, which he should respect. Yet. It would be different if the word senpai made a mistake. Even Diablo was polite when he met an opponent weaker than him.

Well, he was really scary when he was angry, even though his attitude was that he never underestimated anyone .. Well, how would Benimaru fight back? If this was before, the opponent would have been killed at this stage. Thank goodness it was only half-killing. Believing he sealed the ability of his opponent, Gozurl, who became overjoyed, he attacked Benimaru relentlessly with his Great Axe. Since Benimaru's Magic and other skills were sealed, Gozurl seems to believe that he now has an edge in both strength and speed. However ... 「Oi, is that as far as your strength goes? Do you have anything else besides that? 30 Minutes will pass soon. Until then, I allow you to attack as you please. Give everything you have so you won't regret it later. 」

30 mins. It was the match time I set up earlier. One game is about 30 minutes; it is something I have consulted with Benimaru before. So that means, for the sake of being on time, he deliberately let his opponent attack like he liked? I was just amazed at Benimaru's growth. "Huh? Do you talk while sleeping? You only accept all my attacks because the truth is you can't do anything against them, am I really?! Don't be a loser! Don't get carried away, you fool! 」

Gozurl seemed unaware of the difference in their abilities. It seems he still believes that he attacked Benimaru unilaterally. Ghozurl ... above Benimaru in terms of strength and speed? No, it's wrong.

That Benimaru, without me noticing, his ability increased drastically. His maximum Magic Energy power might increase in a substantial amount. It was only because he was suppressing his youki [23] that his improvement was not noticed. The custom of King Raphael was to take measurements without fail, but I heard nothing of him. And, 30 minutes have passed.

「It's time.」 Benimaru muttered lazily as Gozurl knelt on the spot. In Benimaru's left hand was a Katana with a red blade called the Crimson Lotus Edge [24]. Benimaru only counteracted the attack from the Great Axe, but he counterattacked after 30 minutes had passed.

His right fist caught Gozurl, squeezed with the power to penetrate, he pointed his fist at the Solar Plexus Gozurl. With a single strike, the flow of his magic power fell apart and Gozurl was unable to stand up. Even if he made a barrier, everything would be pierced instantly by the punch. It was an incredible and incredible win for Benimaru. 「To improve your character, you must constantly beat it. Prepare yourself."

Gozurl fainted after hearing those words. And the first match is over.
