Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 109: Tournament~Final pt4

That's the main action. Milim was overjoyed; he pushed (threatening) the Lion mask. I heard him say, “Do you understand what will happen if you lose?” But whatever does he mean? Maybe it's better not to know. And with a signal that can be heard by all, the match begins.

They stood in the middle, watching each other. The two demons before us showed a very strong presence. And the fact that they did not release the slightest bit of their aura made the situation even more bizarre.

.

Karion never doubted his position as a powerful being. Until he is defeated by Milim, that is. But as a result of his defeat, he learns that a league beyond his means exists. Therefore, today he was observing his opponent with the calm gaze of a true warrior, not the haughty gaze of a strong one.

These people are very dangerous.

(Ap... hell .. What does the devil do with the demon lord do here?!)

Normally, Karion would not care about his opponent's strength – rushed over with a smile on his face, ready to accept defeat. However, even though he had delegated the responsibilities of his kingdom to Milim, he lived as Milim's shield. "Lose a battle, win the war!" Not a reliable reason. Thus, training with this thought made him increase his strength beyond what he had as a demon lord. After all, it has been used as a daily stress relief for Milim during what he calls a debate session. Of course he's stronger than that. Let your guard down and you will end up in a different world. Survival required him to strengthen his own body. Thus, he became much more cautious, and stronger. However, even Karion's experienced eyes could not see the depth of his opponent's strength.

"Hey, Lion Mask! You understand, don't you? Your job is to dispose of the doll (Beretta) in the upcoming game! I will not let failure here! As my subordinate, get excited! ”

Yet for some reason, he did not feel any encouragement from his words. Large droplets of sweat fell from Karion's forehead. What would happen if he lost? No need to guess: hell training will await him. So far, he has experienced easy mode and normal mode training, but has not unlocked the hard mode. And according to the rumors, there is also a "fashion hell" alone that can not be reached by ordinary people. If he lost, he would definitely be thrown into it. So even against such a dangerous opponent, there was no choice but to get excited.

"Kufufuf. You don't look too good. However, I cannot help myself. Since I have joined the battle for the sake of my rank, I have to be a little serious this time around. ”

Hid. Hid. It seems like the opponent is not holding back, Karion thought,

“I can't lose either. Dear me, but I'll be out of the beginning! "

He replied . And soon after,

"Start!"

Editor's note: this is definitely the signal Rimuru recorded earlier. So no, this chapter describes the start of the match twice.

Souka's orders reached their ears. And as if tearing the air around them, battle cries echoed through the arena. Karion is roaring. Covered in white silver fur, it revealed the shape of its magical beast. He was not aiming for victory while maintaining his strength; instead, he was trying to win quickly using all his strength. Tinkling the arena floor itself, he unleashed his fighting spirit along with Byakko-Seiryugeki. A large crack flowed through one of the stone slabs on the floor. The depth of the gap proved the strength of his move. "I got it!" He thought, and confidently slashed the Byakko-Seiryugeki at Diablo's neck. He had just covered 10 meters in an instant to land a fatal blow, while holding Byakko-Seiryugeki – legendary objects that could penetrate any and all barriers. A half-baked defense barreir would not be able to withstand his huge blade. Karion's belief comes from the fact that no creature can avoid the impending blow.

It was a deadly attack that would give him a decisive victory before his enemy could gauge his strength. So thought Karion.

"Beast Strike !!"

The tip of the spear split into two, preventing Diablo from escaping.

Byakko Fangs and Seiryuu Jaws. These two slashes embody the true power of Byakko-Seiryugeki. One destroyed all of the enemy shod barriers while the other decapitated them in one strike. The perfect maneuver. And the right time.

Thus expressing her confidence, a fearless smile appeared on Karion's face. And at that moment, Diablo's figure disappeared.

(Teleportation?!)

Karion was startled for a moment, but then regained her composure and used the perception of magic to observe her surroundings.

High rank demons were those who mastered transfer magic. Doing it instantly and without singing was unexpected, but nothing could be overcome. In the space-time capability category, Transfer consumes the most magical energy. Making the gate and stabilizing the space was the safest, and expended the least amount of magical energy to move. However, what Diablo is doing now – transfers without using the gate, even when moving alone – ten times more expensive. And to teleport without using chants .. only a handful of high-ranked demons could do that. This is not an ability that can be used by just anyone. And the teleportation ability just now, it was an advanced ability on top of spatial transfer. Spatial transfer might look instantaneous to the average person, but in the eyes of a master there was a slight lag of time. But teleportation happens literally in an instant, time lag does not happen. This is the pinnacle of transfer-type capability. This is not an ability that can be used in quick succession. As a measurement counter against him, one had to endure, and wait for the opponent to tire himself out.

The opponent will weaken faster than you. So no need to rush. In fact, since Diablo did not escape using spatial transfer, it meant that they could not avoid it otherwise.

(Sad. A lucky man. If I had not used my sure-kill attack from the start, he would have thrown away his magical energy aimlessly.).

Thought Karion, carefully maintaining his attack stance. He repeatedly attacked to bait his opponent to consume his strength. And, every time he would be gone in an instant. He patiently awaits an opportunity. Diablo was constantly on the move, making Karion stupid.

(But, incredible magical energy. How long can he keep transferring ..)

Although she had teleported only once — at first, she had never moved herself many times. To continue transferring without chanting, this was impossible even for the Arch Demon. He knew the demon before him was an abnormal existence, yet it surpassed his wildest expectations. But Karion was impatient. It was because among the monsters, there was his own extremely unreasonable master (Mirim) who was always accompanied. So he held on to the basics and observed, paying attention to his opponent's reaction. Keep looking for opportunities. Karion's actions made sense, and, in fact, were correct. If the opponent is not Diablo, it is …

"Kufufuf. Analysis, complete. I've obtained data on your physical prowess. I will continue to verify. Since this is a little dangerous, please be careful. ”

Diablo, who had moved until now, suddenly said.

And cold sweat running down Karion's back. his instincts scream “ danger!” Countless fireballs floated around Diablo, emitting a terrifying heat, hiding a power that Karion could not see. Carion is resistant to fire and frost, but there is a limit to resistance. Karion unleashed his fighting spirit in all directions, creating a barrier to prevent the fireball from crashing. The impact was so strong that Karion nearly lost consciousness the moment the barrier was destroyed; however, he managed to defend against all fireballs. And though the stinging heat followed, the barrier weakened him to a level that Karion could withstand.

While setting up the barrier, Karion converted his magic energy into raw destructive power. A aiming attack for the moment when the opponent was exhausted after exerting an attack, this was Karion's strongest killer-magic particle cannon. This time for sure, the final blow! As if responding to Karion's thoughts, the dregs magic particles emitted by the golden light burned the air around him. At this point, he did not hold back at all. All of his strength was behind this attack.

"Kufu, kufufufuf. Great . It shows the brightness of your soul! However, you have used this attack a little too late. Too bad . ”

Diablo's voice reached Karion's ears. And, as if the world had stopped, as if time itself refused to continue, the light stopped right in front of its target. That is, right in front of Diablo.

"No way!" Carion, thinking, and quickly moving to make distance. And then, he felt as if the mind and body were separated. Even if he tried to turn around, he felt his body remain in place. He could see himself firing his savage roar that was bound to kill

"W-what happened ?!"

Karion asked, impatient. And, happily responding, Diablo said,

"Kufufuf. This is my ability, “Heaven Time. In this world, the time has stopped and only the two of us are aware. Originally, I had planned to make you my pawn, but your wishes were too strong. I'm probably not able to tempt you. Be proud of the facts. However, your spirit is weak against intrusion. Evidence that your mental training is poorly trained. So rejoice. You can still grow stronger. My lord, Rimuru-sama and his ally Milim are like sworn brothers, so consider this a service. Learn from these mistakes and devote yourself wholeheartedly to improvement! "

Karion could not understand his explanation, but he realized his defeat.

Directing his consciousness into this world, he looked back at Diablo. And once again realize the huge difference between them. The fact that he could make this world his own was something he never understood. Before that incredible information, Karion could do nothing. In this world, he could not even move magic power.

"Damn! I will win next time! "

He cried out sadly with his last strength. And Diablo's voice answered,

"The end of the world!"

As he said, the world itself began to collapse, with Karion's consciousness trapped and destroyed.

Had Diablo not saved him in the end, he would have perished in the real world as well. And also, the destructive power of the Beast Bear was also caught up in the collapse of that world. So it might disappear in the real world. That's Diablo's ability. The ability to control the life and death of opponents based on their mental strength. His unique skill ability "Seducer", was absolute when activated in the illusionary world. And, "Restoration of truth and error", the ability to exchange reality and illusion. The embodiment of illusion becomes reality in the material world. Only by training your spirit can you overcome this ability.

The world regained its movements, the Beast Roar Karion was canceled in the illusionary world, and no damage was done to Diablo. All the mental damage was put into physical damage, leaving Karion unharmed all over.

"I'm losing…"

"Kufufufuf. A wise decision. If this continues, I have no choice but to kill you. ”

Karion's defeat marked the end of the 6th round.

"Kufufuf. In the future, do not forget to train your spirit. ”

“Think of your own business. I'll do it even without you telling me to … "

Karion glanced at the VIP room in between the audience spots. The figure of his master glaring at him while gnashing his teeth entered his line of sight.

(Aaa .... as expected, he was really angry ...).

Karion wanted to cry, but because she was wearing the lion mask it went unnoticed. Let alone his mind and soul, what awaited him would lead him to the doorstep of death many times, no doubt. Thinking about it, Karion felt gloomy, and wanted to repeat the match.

.

Lion Mask – Karion defeated. No, I feel like his hat is trying really hard. His last attack was very good. If it wasn't for the explanation of the Wisdom King Raphael, I wouldn't have understood what happened either. Souka is able to convince the audience that Diablo is using some tricks; he is very good at deceiving people, it seems. But it was a good fight. To the audience, it seemed like the Lion Mask was incredible for the most part. Those of us who understand, see Diablo using extraordinary abilities that do not have common sense. Few, if any, truly understand what he has done. Besides us, of course.

.

“This is bullshit. That demon, in fact, defeated Karion and won. There didn't seem to be much difference in abilities but those unique skills were abnormal. ”

Mirim expressed her thoughts in annoyance. He was now completely ridiculed by Ramiris, and even tricked into "Serving you right!"

"In other words, my Beretta is superior!"

That one sentence angered Mirim and as punishment, Ramiris was pitifully tied up like a bagworm on the floor. The rope looked like a materialized energy, Ramiris might not be able to break free. Well, you reap what you sow. It's true that Baretta did better,

but Ramiris is overrated. The person he was making fun of was too evil. And so, looking to avoid collateral damage, Veldora and I did not go along. Right now, the saddest one is probably Lion-san (Karion) who just did his best. Well, now you'll be trained, and I hope I see you living in the future.
