Chapter 108: Tournament~Final pt3

After qualifying, the first day of the final ended safely. Gabil did his best. With an indomitable spirit, he stood up repeatedly, looking like an impassable wall.

His figure left a deep impression, captivating the audience. Oh well, Souka secretly ignores Gabil's attempts to give up no matter how many times he tries. 「Ooootto, what are you saying? Whahuh? “I can still do it. . . . . . Don't underestimate me? ”Contestan Gabil, what motivation! The man who never gave up! He still hasn't given up ~ !! 」(Souka)

No matter how you look at it, he has already given up, but his luck runs out when Souka becomes a broadcaster. After all, for an entire hour, Ranga toyed with him [1]. Since the audience did not know the circumstances, it seemed that Gabil was remembered as a stubborn person. I can't decide if it's a good thing or a bad thing. However, I would like to say that "I'm glad it's not me!"

When the match ended, everyone returned to their respective inns. I got up from my seat and started walking away to invite Masayuki to eat 「Please wait a minute. I have something I want to ask you. 」(Unknown)

Someone called me to stop.

It was the half-elf girl from before. With her pale light blue silver hair and jade eyes, she was a super bishoujo [2]. 「Ah, so you are here! Uh! * Drag*, Rimuru-dono, it's been a long time. 」(Elalude)

Before I could reply to the girl, someone came and greeted me while panting. Is he running? That's Duke Egalude.

"ah! Duke, it's been a long time. Are you all right? And, is he your acquaintance? 」(Rimuru)

He was the one that Duke was hurriedly looking for. . . . . . . Although I expected it, more or less let's listen to his words *

"ah! Allow me to introduce you. This is Her Majesty, the Empress of the Magic Dynasty Sarion, Elmeshia Elure Sarion. Your Majesty, this is the person I said before, Demon Lord Rimuru-dono. 」(Elalude)

Quite a lot, he was the ruler of a country that supported me. After she introduced the empress to me, she introduced me to her. 「Umu. I know . This one [3] is the consort of the Magic Dynasty Sarion, Elumeshia Elure Sarion. I hope we'll get along well. 」(Elumeshia)

Even though he was a bishoujo, he exuded a solemn aura. I thought she might have suppressed it before, but the person in front of me was without a doubt someone worthy of being called Empress.

「Halo, I'm Rimuru, King of Tempest. Please take care of me too! Since I am stupid with the King's etiquette, please forgive my rudeness. [4] 」(Rimuru)

I introduced myself too. Oh baby, I sound like a rookie villain. [5] I hope you forgive me of the rigid formalities. How do I say it, since the empress is dressed like an adventurer, I want to think something like that should be fine.

「Umu, it doesn't matter. Those kinds of things don't matter. What's with the potential for this country's outrageous war! That's the real problem! 」(Elumeshia)

He urged me for an answer while forcefully banging me questions. Beside him, Duke Enalude was very confused.

We changed locations, and we are now talking over dinner. I wanted to eat with Masayuki, but I put Queen Sarion first this time. Although it was regrettable, it could not help.

According Empress. Even though he was a master in magic, he was defeated by a powerful demon and could not do a single thing about it. The demon is Dagura. Furthermore, he instantly defeated countless opponents by himself. He is a very outrageous opponent. Despite this, the demon was easily defeated by a single Tempest executive. He could not accept this and became angry. By the way, the Empress here is the homunculus [7] where she transferred her consciousness. So, there was no need to worry about him getting hurt, even though he was frustrated about his loss. 「Alright, because His Majesty has never lost before. When it comes to magic he is the best. . . . Since it is Your Majesty, what can I say? Since it was a Demon King, it would not turn into a semi-finished tournament. 」(Elalude) Duke Enalude calmed him down as if he had given up. He acted recklessly because there was no danger to the real body, thanks to which I thought His Majesty's selfishness was great. That night, I enjoyed a conversation with Queen Sarion, and managed to reach an agreement on the technology of the future. Although it was only a verbal promise, it was a promise between fellow rulers. I don't think it's gonna break. After successfully making an appointment with the Magic Dynasty of Sarion, I can say that the tournament was already successful. I am pleased with the progress, and I am confident that the relations between our countries will be better in the future. And then, the night grew old, as the morning of the second day of the final arrived.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

Second day of the Final.

Fifth match .... Arnaud vs Beretta Noteworthy match. Although Arnaud said that he would hide his status as a Holy Knight and be registered as a Knight Mask. . . 「Eh? He doesn't depend on anyone else, does he? The one who was referred to as the strongest holy knight who swore to protect people how could he do something like escape [8]? If he was a man, it would have been a fair and square fight! Isn't that right, Arnaud-san? 」(Demon Broadcaster)

It seems Souka asked again with a sweet smile. He ended his words with "stupid". 「Hahaha, of course. A Holy Knight would not run away from any fight !! 」(Knight Caught)

Or rather, when he was still the Imperial Guards Abil, he looked like a submissive and kind child, but he suddenly changed after he revealed the fact that he was a woman. Is this his real personality? Or did he accept the evil influence of someone (Maybe Souei)? Or, maybe both. He had grown into a terrifying little demon. It's too late now. I have to be careful so I don't get caught in a trap either. 「Start!」 (Souk)

While I was thinking of the pitiful Arnaud, the quarrel began before I came to my senses. Arnaud took some distance from Beretta, vigilantly holding his sword. As expected, it didn't seem like he was going to attack recklessly.

「It started correctly. The day to show off Beretta's strength has come right! Ann (The Disturbing Girl)

I'm surprised! Suddenly Ramiris came and spoke near my ear. Veldora and Milim also came from behind.

「K-You guys. Aren't you all engrossed in the Dungeon? 」(Rimuru)「 Fuhahaha, Rimuru. It was finished a while ago. You will be looking forward to it! 」(Milim)「 Because I am also interested in tournaments. Yesterday, I did the King Faust Probability Investigation Manipulation [9]. In yesterday's match, wasn't the match concentrated with the one that had a clear result? 」(Otaku Dragon) WHAT ・ DO YOU ・ SAY ・!? And, did he manipulate him so that combinations he was not interested in would be concentrated in yesterday's match? Of course, there were a lot of highlights [10] in today's game.

Combinations like 『Arnaud vs Beretta now and『 Lion Mask vs Diablo 』, are matches Ramiris and Milim don't want to miss. For something he found unattractive, he still manipulated it accurately. "Let's just ignore it for the sake of an interesting event like this", he would never say such generous words, huh? As expected of him. 「Oh well, I am not interested in the results, but it will be a good reference! Kuahahaha. 」(Veldora)

Veldora started laughing proudly. Unlike her old self, she seemed to be interested in the matters of strength and weakness. That must be the influence of Manga.

Now, he seems to be researching a wonderful way to win. How hard work. Oh well, since he's a strong man, I don't think that he would let his imagination run wild for useless things. While I was surprised by the inclusion of Ramiris and colleagues, the match showed a new development. Arnold's sword attack was easily repelled by Beretta's arm. Although it continued for some time. . . . .

「Ootto, contestant Arnaud's attack can't pass at all? Is he easy to fight his opponent? But if this was a serious attack then was he not worthy of being called the strongest Holy Knight! 」(Souka)

That short comment was a sharp wound. But those words could not yet disturb Arnold's mind. 「Hahs. Every attack so far was for the sake of plan. Look under everyone's feet! 」(Arnaud)

Trying to look beautiful, Arnaud pointed down Beretta's legs. There, a magic formation was drawn without anyone noticing.

At the interval between the sword attacks, unnoticed he had drawn a formation by scattering silver dust. He's a skilled man. However, to be able to fight with this method, it seemed like he was not a simple muscle brain. "Activate! Holy Field ・ Weak Version! 」(Arnaud)

So Arnaud shouted after he threw Shuriken [11] with Barrier Tag [12] attached to them in four directions. The crystal is embedded in the handle of the Shuriken. Apparently, they were charged with Magic power, thus seemingly allowing barrier prayers in a short span of time. Although he said it was a weak version, to be able to set up the Holy Square on his own. . . . . . . . . . It seemed that Arnaud was a man who could not be underestimated. However, the equipment was made by Kurobee to test Arnaud [13], so frankly it can be said that Kurobee was the contributor. . . . . . . . It seems that after conducting various experiments with Arnaud, the two got along well with each other. Thanks to that, the weapon quality of the Tempest seems to have improved as well. This is really a great thing.

Normally, even though it was only a weak version of the Sacred Field, most people would succumb to it when confined inside. Perhaps only a few executives can undo such an impediment.

Is there a method to fully capture Benimaru and Souei? Since the compatibility of abilities is only so far, I am unable to assess its strengths and weaknesses. And, in the current situation, the compatibility was extremely poor. And for Arnaud. . . "Just be free . Due to the abilities given to me by Rimuru-sama, I did not suffer the effects of the Holy Field. 」(Beretta)

Beretta moved to counterattack Arnaud for the first time while telling him nonchalantly. It is understood that Arnaud's sword attack was ineffective as Beretta had the cancellation of a physical attack. Also his body was made using Magic Steel. Beretta's fist was wrapped in a mixture of Youki and Aura helices [14] emitted from the Unique Skill 『Saint-Demon Fusion [15]』, then shot out that strange energy. The disposition was similar to 〈Energy Combat Arts [16]〉 Aura Blade, but his strength had improved greatly. It is also possible to shoot it at high speed. Although it did not seem to be concentrated at the level of penetration like Benimaru's, the constant touki covering his entire body was still beautifully flawless. His level was different from the irregular touki Dagura emitted. His strength was not just a simple Youki and Aura, a single blow from that fist could be considered the Final Step [17]. The Beretta who shifted to offensive issued an attack with frightening precision. The crowd seemed to see the match as a great match, but my eyes could not be fooled. Beretta did not show her true strength. He only fought with 30% of his strength. 「Fufu! How's it going! What about dat! My beretta, it's so cool! 」(Ramiris)

Ramiris flew around me, boasting with a complacent expression. It's not enough to just show it to me, he's also bragging to Veldora and Milim. Veldora simply replied, 「Huh, even so I am stronger!」 But, uh,

「Fufun [18], it's okay for you to get excited now. Tomorrow My Lion Mask will dismantle your Beretta, I'm sure of it! 」(Milim)

Not wanting to lose, Milim answered back to Ramiris. Geez, is this a children's fight? After all, don't you think we should worry about the pathetic Arnaud-san? The broadcaster brutally led him into a situation where he could not give up, so the situation was hopeless. Or rather, would not the spirit of Arnaud [19] be destroyed by this? Just with this, my own assessment of him greatly improved.

When the fight between Ramiris and Milim ended, the match also ended. Of course, it was a win for Beretta.

Arnaud used a Special Step that he called "Meteor Slash [20]" or something like that, but the sword broke and shattered when it came into contact with Beretta's body. Oh well, it's only natural that the sword lost its durability after attacking the steel lump that was Beretta's body continuously. The weapon would accumulate damage bit by bit even if the weapon was clad in touki. Although his sword was broken, the match continued. But Arnaud admitted defeat, and eventually the match ended. His broken sword was just an excuse. In reality, he couldn't land a single hit on Beretta. However, as the audience did not know about it, the skilled announcer followed up on Arnaud. 「Unfortunately due to his broken sword, he had to reluctantly give up from the match. 」With such an explanation, the audience understood. Souka, I'll buy you a meal! So I thought with teary eyes, she somehow gave a skillful comment. But I pretended not to know about it. Arnaud's honor is protected. That's good . Thus, the fifth match ended in a Beretta victory.
