Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 107: Tournament~Final pt2

The first game was a total victory for Benimaru

Gozurl needs to discipline himself and improve his emotions. Anyway it was decided for him to seclude himself within the Dungeon. Weighted bracelets and anklets will be worn on him, it will make him have a disadvantage when fighting against challengers. Even with that flaw, he was still too strong. Looking at the appearance of the audience, even though they did not understand the situation, it seemed like they vaguely understood Benimaru's strength. It seems like the excitement will continue, let's fight again. Oh well, due to the irresponsible announcement and comments from Souka, it is impossible to understand the current match. Souka, although I said that you are allowed to give an explanation, however, your skill is a hoax to some extent, there is no need to give an explanation for this match. Oh well, although there are no plans to expose their true abilities. Suddenly I felt that someone was looking at me, it was a girl with rather long ears who was staring at me? I remember, he participated in the second game yesterday and was immediately blown up. Is she a Half Elf [1]? I think so because his ears are a bit small. Hm. There was no need for him to watch over me. Oh well, that must be my imagination. Near the girl's chair, there was a person I knew. They are Tengus. What's up!? The girl who was the granddaughter of the elder, her face was flushed red. Although the guards nearby seemed to be calling out to him, but he did not move in the slightest. Is he sick? Oh well, if there's anything, they'll say it. So I pondered, and then I left my seat. Yakisoba, if I don't leave quickly it will sell out. Although there was no need to eat, I had to buy it before it ran out. After all, it was such a delicious meal that it was unavoidable. [2]

After the lunch break was over, it was time to start the next match.

Second match ... Souei vs Dagura.

There was no need to look at it, it was Souei's victory. Although, it seems that Souei also intends to last for 30 minutes. Without forgetting to serve the audience, he did not neglect to bring it to life. A reliable man turns out to be different.

However, there is a problem. And that was. . . . . . , 「Well ~ then, it finally starts! This is the match of Souei-sama !! Dagura is our contestant who has no redeeming features other than having little muscle strength. Then, how will he fight!? Against Souei-sama, I think he is a worthless little boy, but at most I hope for your cooperation to liven up the match! 」Favouritism announcement. Already on the level to feel sorry for Dagura. I cut the match at once, and declared the broadcaster change. As expected, he was overdid. I will stop using Souka for Souei matches. And because of that, Shuna entered and replaced Souka as the Broadcaster. Different from Souka, Shuna's adorableness and tidiness seized the hearts of the audience in the blink of an eye. It was as if he was using a Skill, but it was just his natural charm.

"Start!"

This time the match definitely started. Dagura is, 「UoOOOO! Please look at this, Shion-dono! The power of my growth !! he So he shouted, while wrapping his entire body in touki [3], and tackling [4] himself towards Souei with strong force.

It was, like a huge energy ball, it had the power to blow away any opponent it came into contact with. However,

「This is just a picture after. 」

Aye . It wasn't an imitation, but it was a real shadow. Small remnant magic power particles left behind by 『Spatial Transfer』. Because it has mass and presence, the rest of the afterimage body can even be referred to as clones.

When you use the clone technique to the maximum extent, at that point it will start to produce a fake body. This is a super high difficult technique, even if you acquire a skill, you may not be able to use it. To master it, you must continue to practice, only then you can use the ability well. He appeared behind Dagura and from the blind spot, a ball of energy hit the nape of Dagura. The energy ball was as big as a fist, but it did not have the penetrating power as strong as Benimaru. However, the effect should be overwhelming as it was a blow that led to a vital point. By the way, when Benimaru defeated Gozurl with one punch, he used the energy he had for 30 minutes. Youki [5] was denser than what was normally emitted, it was refined with the addition of the penetration attribute. Because it has a tendency to break through magic barriers, to defend against pure aura it is impossible. Against an enemy superior to us who mastered the use of multiple barriers, this was one of the effective special techniques. Souei's energy ball this time, did not have a strong penetrating force, it was just a normal condensed energy ball. However, Dagura knelt down on one knee after being hit by the attack right at the nape of the neck. "You are good . . . . . . Although I rate you only as a bug that only follows Shion-dono, you are quite strong.

Just because you're a bit popular. Don't get carried away, you know! Even your killing blow is certain, it will not be able to inflict injuries even on this great me! 」. . . . . . . Eh? Dagura, what do you think?

If you say it like that, what about the phone punch you made while kneeling? . . . . Isn't it obvious that the goal isn't that!? My surprise was unrelated, Dagura raised his touki. The leaking Youki filled the inside of the barrier, the air near Dagura's surroundings obviously made a strange fluctuation and started to drift away. The density is so high that a normal audience can see it. Of course Only the energy of this person was Demon Lord class. However, he still did not understand how to use it at all. That was the reason why he was sent and came to this country to study. Also, it will soon reach the 30-minute mark. It will end with the next attack. "Take this! My best attack !! Forest Blaster Wrath of Mother Nature [6] !! 」

It was a haphazard attack technique. With all his strength, he thought nothing of defense at all. If explained in one word, he was an idiot.

He focused all the youki covering his body on one point, and then he took it out towards Souei. It spreads but is concentrated at only one point. There was no way to escape, a full offensive technique. But, it is only if the opponent cannot use the transfer. . . . . 「Fuhahahaa! Even though you are transferring and escaping, I will chase you anywhere!

To chase after an opponent who teleported, would you really be able to do that? Since it was inside the barrier, he would find it soon. Anyway, I found a problem with that technique. The biggest problem was, it did not leave Youki for defense.

If the attack he received back then was a killing blow then he would be defeated, that was the basis for valuing the defense more than the offense. And then, 30 minutes passed. Souei just moved unattractively from one place to another, just when the time became 30 minutes, 「DemaleHazy Life Reaping Slash ・ Weak version」 [7]

One step murder.

Two katanas inside one blade, a sword that could attack even souls. Physical and spiritual. A sword with a different purpose. This time, a blow with a katana that kills the soul. If he used a skill, he would inflict fatal damage. If Souei wasn't easy against his opponent, he would already be dead by now. 「It only strikes with the back of the sword!」 So Shuna explained, the audience clapped and cheered, but it was a frightening technique. Originally, it could cut up to a soul, but Souei stopped it right before cutting off the soul.

This person, not only was he fighting using threads, his sword skills were also excellent. Really, I don't know which one is better between Souei and Benimaru. Hearing this Wisdom, King Raphael tried to tell me, but I succeeded. I want to hang on to the anticipation. With this, the second match ended.

Third match .... Gobuta vs Hero Masayuki.

Although Hero Masayuki's legs seemed to be trembling slightly, was this person trembling with excitement? Is he really the same as Hinata? I looked at the ground.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

(POV Masayuki) Nice to meet you my name is Honjou Masayuki. What am I doing now? That's what I want to know! In front of me, stood a rather cool soldier. It was Hobgoblin according to what announcer Onee-san said. Little ghost? He must be lying! How could he say such a cool warrior evolved from a goblin, or vice versa, such a thing was unimportant. The problem is, for what reason am I in a place like the Colosseum, and being Hobgoblin's opponent? That's what I want to ask. This, it doesn't matter how you look at it is a duel at the moment, It's impossible. . . . . . . Seriously, I will fight !? One year has not passed since Masayuki came to this world. The place he arrived at was called the Ingrasia Kingdom, he did not understand the reason why he was somehow in that place. Then he was helped by a boy who introduced himself as the leader of the Freedom Association. Although Masayuki thought that the boy was in the same generation as him, but the boy said that it had been more than 10 years since he came here. The boy is Kagurazaka Yuuki, he is taking care of Masayuki who understands nothing. However, from then on Masayuki's head started to become blurred, at which point he felt his behavior to be like everyone else.

Just remember now, Masayuki realized that he had a Unique Skill 『The Chosen One [9]』, he thought at that time he consulted about it to Yuuki. It was a story of a time when 3 months had not passed since he came here. Unique Expertise 『Yang Chosen』, the effect of the skill is amazing. There would be an incredible explanation for him for every action the opponent took, whatever he did would result in heroic actions and would be praised, it was an unfair ability. Moreover, since Masayuki himself attracted super-good luck, the result of his normal attacks would be a Critical Hit [10]. Well, even though Masayuki's kendo skill level was only at the hobby level so it wasn't a big deal, but he was unrivalled against bandits or low-class monsters. Masayuki entered the Freedom Association with Yuuki's recommendation, and started as an adventurer. At that moment, he thought that his high and abnormal offensive ability was unnatural when compared to the others, this was when Masayuki first realized his ability. However, the extremely frightening thing about this ability was another. The effect was also applied to Masayuki's companions. And also, even if it was an act done by his friend, everything would be a feat of Masayuki. In other words, all of his friends' attacks would also be Critical Hits, the moment they received his blessing. And, any admiration for his friends would belong to Masayuki. If he remembered, since Masayuki had the desire to become a hero [11] it gave rise to this ability. When Masayuki consulted about this ability to Yuuki, it seemed like a smile spouted on Yuuki's face. After that, his head started to turn hazy, day after day he started to feel like he was becoming someone else. Masayuki and his friends, growing at an incredible speed, after about half a year had passed, he was referred to as "Hero [12]". He also participated in the Ingrasia Tournament but he easily became a champion. By the way, just by drawing his sword, his opponent declared "I surrender" and defeated him. The audience, who saw it, seemed to misunderstand it as a momentary attack, but actually nothing happened at all. It was one of the effects of Unique Skills 『Yang Chosen』, they just hit “hero Haki [13]”. To oppose this ability, if it wasn't a Unique Skill holder with the same strength, then the opponent couldn't resist it. However, it was never said that it was an omnipotent ability. However, Masayuki who until yesterday had no doubts. We are invincible. We can win against any type of opponent. Even if it was unfounded, he still believed in it.

(WHY! I believe in stupid stupidity ..) Or rather, I want to escape. I really want to escape!) When confused, Masayuki tries to understand the situation desperately. If things are like this, it is better if his head remains in the fog. . . . . . . . So first of all, why is the fog gone? That was the question Masayuki had. He remembered! Last night . He goes and says things like 「Prepare yourself, the one who will beat you is me this!」 To the silver-haired boy (?) Who is the Demon King. Then, 「Oh really? Do your best! 」While saying that, he patted her on the shoulder. And then, when she sleeps at night, her head feels refreshed, she wakes up well. Eh? Why am I in this place? That was his assessment of his current situation. No, his memory was still intact, but he did not understand why things had become like this. Honestly, like just by remembering what he said, he was surprised by the excessive emotions. Believing in the appearance of the companions he brought, he felt shaken by the exaggerated emotions from it. 「So ~, the third match has finally started! What kind of fight will happen between the greatest young warrior of Tempest and Hero Masayuki!? Well now, the two of them are staring at each other in the middle!」

(Omong empty. There really is no time.) Masayuki's mind became confused. Normally he would have endless curiosity about how the one-san tail announcer connected to his bottom, yet he did not have it now.

He turned his eyes to the opponent. So, is that a coincidence? Their eyes met perfectly. If he paid attention with ama, his opponent was also nervous, his opponent seemed to be unable to calm down. It resembled the appearance of an opponent in the Ingrasia Tournament. So Masayuki thought. Even though the fog had already disappeared, it did not mean that his abilities disappeared. Then, didn't the effect of turning each of his actions into something that was considered a heroic act also remain? If that's true. ..Even if he escaped from here, the audience might interpret it that way, right? All right, let's go! Masayuki. After all, if the match started, he would be beaten. Even if his ability could affect his current opponent, he was unsure if it could be used on the next opponent. Because, even though he only glanced at the huge black wolf and the dragon swordsman, it seemed that he was not an opponent he could win over. Even with the weapon made of Mithril [14], he did not think it was possible to pierce through the steel feathers and scales. Here, let's escape. That wasn't a mistake. What reason? He suddenly thought of such a thing, but he chose to leave without saying anything. She was shy, she thought various good reasons. . . . . Right! There's spectators. So he thought, 「Wait. This match, I'm backing out. 」

He frantically tried to cover up his trembling voice, and only said things to that extent. And then without any additional comment, he immediately turned around and left. Having to concentrate this much to move his legs, it was the first experience of his life. Hence, Masayuki made an extraordinary escape from the greatest emergency of his life.

(The end of Masayuki PoV)

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Staring at each other in the middle of the stage were Gobuta and Masayuki. However, Masayuki suddenly declared a withdrawal, and then he immediately left the place. As expected, was he just a bad boy? Or is there some other intention? Gobuta took a bold pose but,

「Oooooto !? An unexpected event. It was an unexpected withdrawal from Hero contestant Masayuki! However, given the current situation, we will be able to see the true abilities of the Gobuta Contestant in the next match ~ Is his opponent a Gabil contestant? Or is that a Ranga contestant !? Please look forward to it! 」

As well as the announcement from Souka who returned at this match, he seemed to recall the next opponent.

Gobuta's face paled immediately.

If it's like this, it's better if I'm defeated now-ssu! So did the audible voice that came from the heart of Gobuta. Although the audience started to be noisy, 「That's it! Was it because he was in front of the Demon King he couldn't be serious!? 」「 Now you mention it! Since the Demon King did not take part in this tournament, he retreated! 」「 Well, isn't it because he won't be able to fight the demon lord that he has no reason to survive?, in any case the strongest letters will be made clear as black and white. 」「 So he has no hobby of beating up subordinates, except for the Demon King himself? As expected of Hero Masayuki! 」And so on, they began to agree to that astonishing explanation. Later,

『Ma ~ Saayuki, Ma ~~ Saayuki !!』

It has become a great choir. To this cheering, Masayuki replied by raising one hand. Although the action is a bit awkward. Whatisthis? Is this religion!? I was a bit surprised by it. Why was it that just by rejecting the match, he received such a high evaluation? I don't understand what people think. But, why did he stop the match all of a sudden? 《Solution. Last night, due to contact with the master, the brainwashing by Yuuki was revoked. That was the result of his assessment. 》

Uh! So thats. Or rather, I can lift it with my youki? The condition of his last night must have been due to the effects of Brainwashing \= Thought Manipulation [15]. However, if the brainwashing was suddenly cleared up, then, he would definitely feel nervous. That then leads to. . . . . . . . . . she withdraws, did she decide on the action after she thought about it desperately? If that's the case, it's amazing. I need to praise him later. He is a good example of the Japanese. I want to hear the story too. I will ask Hakurou later to make Sushi, but I have to ask him to come. After all, although it was unexpected, the third match was also over.

Fourth match ... Gabil vs Ranga.

Then, it was the last game for today. This game, frankly, I already know the result. It was very sad, no matter how hard he worked, there was no chance for Gabil to win. As I thought, Gabil started attacking Ranga with his spear as soon as the initial signal was given, but it was repelled by Ranga's feather so the attack did not reach.

Compatibility is also the worst. The water vortex produced, it tried to seize Ranga, but the momentum of the vortex was killed by the Tempest Ranga's ability. He attacked from the sky as well, but since Ranga had gained the ability to run in the sky, it could not be an advantage for Gabil. Clearly, the breath attack was also useless against Ranga. This is a lot of very unlucky. He met an opponent he could not win. Is that a side effect of 『Tuner』? There were times where he was lucky, but there were also times when he was unlucky. Although it is easy for him to get lucky at a critical moment but I think on another occasion his bad luck will come out. Last time, like when he fought against the Holy Knights, it was probably the result because he was lucky. Thanks to that, this time the situation became like this. Well now, the attack from Gabil ended, and it all ended in vain. The rest is fun playtime for Ranga. That's hard too. Since Gobuta won the last game by default, the remaining time of the game was added to this match. For an entire hour, Ranga would play as she pleased. Oh well, it became a training for Gabil, it also became a good attraction for the audience. Gabil, do your best! I cheered for Gabil in my mind. And I join hands to pray.
