Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 111: Tournament~Final pt6

And thus the sun rises to the third day. The Dwarf King grabbed me on the way out yesterday, so we partied until it was quite late. I want to talk to Masayuki, but of course the king takes priority. Well, I guess I'll have Shuna deliver a message to him. And there might be a chance to talk later. When I partied with the dwarf king, consort Sarion joined (entering without permission) which made me introduce them to each other. We once again exchanged the promise of research cooperation, so I can probably expect Tempest to develop many extraordinary things in the future. Thus, an important topic was decided with a lot of alcohol. Is that okay? I'm doubtful about it, but if you think about it, a lot of negotiations end when people drink. It might be something similar to that. The only difference is the scale of the company's – problems compared to the national scale.

Now, including the introduction, a few days had passed, the spectators had gotten used to the road to the arena. Plus comfortable housing and delicious food. The spectators now cheerfully continued onto the arena, smiling on their faces in anticipation of the scene they would see today. Moreover, not only people from countries that had a shared history, but also people from regions that had never come into contact with each other happily chatted together. And Myormiles sent his brother to spread rumors of dungeons among those groups. Should I be impressed or what? They made some reasonable rumors like: “You know those incredible weapons from yesterday? Looks like they were found in the basement! ”But seriously, it is true that I ordered for this to happen, but I don't think things will go well. After all, it seemed like the adventurers who specialized in guard duty were also interested in the dungeon right now, so the work was well done.

Compared to the excited audience, there was also a group that reduced mood. Tengu. They were very confused – maybe because they had admitted how wrong they were about our strength after watching the Head of Department fight. Momiji flushed red after seeing Benimaru's first match, and all of Tengu's faces turned blue after watching yesterday's match. And now, their faces were completely white, as if burning. Thank you for comforting me with the color change of people's faces. Chances are, the color of their faces perfectly matches the disrespectful memory of me they remember. The Tengu were a high race of monsters, possessing strong strength and pride, so they probably underestimated the capabilities of my country. But, after watching the game, they realized how far from common sense they were pressing them. Of course, I can't explain why Momiji blushed after watching Benimaru's match, but I'll guess the tengu will appear once again before I ask for an alliance. If that happens, the great Jura Forest will be completely under my domination, which is probably a good thing.

Well, I already planned for 4 games to happen today. It's a miracle, Gobuta is still in the process, but I guess we have 8 people fighting with name and fame today. Must be something worth watching. Well, the first game of the day, then,

Chapter 9: Benimaru vs Souei

The fight between the rivals; I saw the result.

For this match, it was difficult to decide whether Shuna or Souka would be the announcer. Souka is Souei's subordinate, and Shuna is Benimaru's sister. While the two argue, they,

「I don't think that can help. I guess it's my turn now? 」

Shion said, raising his hand …

「「 It's not your turn. Sit down and watch 」」

Benimaru and Souei said simultaneously, quickly shooting at Shion's suggestion. And the result: Shaking out of a desire to do so, Milim steals the mic. Well that is it . I don't expect him to accept being a spectator all the time. And since he's holding it, I doubt he'll let it go. So he'll be the announcer of the day. The audience was very happy with the result. After all, she was obviously a very sweet girl. As long as they do not know its true nature, everything will be fine ~. It's out of my hands now. Let us pray to heaven that it will all end in peace.

At Milim's behest, the match begins. Both move simultaneously. Souei starts by attacking and tries to tie Benimaru up with 『Benang Baja』 but Benimaru burns everything by using the aura of fire. As if it was the most obvious result in the world, Souei quickly dropped this approach. And that's when their real battle begins.

Benimaru's deep red tachi crosses paths with Souei's twin nijatou. Souei holds the double, Benimaru with a tachi flame. The Benimaru had turned into a being consisting of fire itself, negating the physical attack. So Souei's normal sword could barely damage it. On the other hand, albeit slightly, Souei's resistance was being overcome by the overwhelming force before him. This match was in Benimaru's favor. Even if Souei had scattered his clones, as they could not perfectly replicate his abilities, these weaker creatures could barely damage Benimaru. That's why Souei didn't seem to intend to deploy them at all.

If this goes on, Souei will lose .. well, if I think so, he disappeared. Chances are, he has been using clones to distract us all along. He's an amazing actor. And, no doubt, it was a truly high grade skill. He hid himself using that incredible appearance. And now, he will act with his unique skill 『Assassin』 which will be very difficult to fight. It is possible to avoid an attack if you are aware of where he is, but as of now, he has a 100% chance of landing. That's the power of 『Assassinnya』. And since it is a direct attack on the spirit, those who are not trained will soon perish. So for sure this is a Souei victory .. or so I think …

"Naude!"

Benimaru shouted, and cut at Souei who appeared from the blind spot. Tachi stopped just above Souei's neck, and Souei also stopped moving. Benimaru Victory. You see, Benimaru has this unique skill 『Generalissimo』 which he uses to lead all troops. While this is not an anti-personnel skill, it does come with benefits. Space recognition. It has the highest spatial recognition ability. Usually, he used it to understand the entire theater of battle by looking at the entire space and sub-space at once. So once he had sensed the opponent, he would not lose them even if they were just shadows in space. So it may be impossible to avoid detection of Benimaru. In short, Souei was at a disadvantage from the first second.

「Fu. My first defeat, yes 」

「Ya, one thousand ties」 win

「One loss, yes? I will no longer fight you. Losing again too painful 」

「Hahaha, that's thanks to Mei's ability, that's it. In terms of skills, we are almost the same 」

With a bitter smile on their faces, there stood Benimaru and Souei. Really, they're both skilled. Physical abilities are also almost the same; it is this unique skill that makes the difference. Honestly, what an amazing match! And a standing ovation filled the stadium as Milim announced Benimaru the winner. The previously pale-faced Tengiji Momiji was now bright red in color, and stood clapping. Fortunately, he finally recovered.

Who would have thought that we would have an interesting match soon? Now I finally decided on their stand. Benimaru will be the pioneer, Souei will fight from the shadows. Yes, that is exactly what we have always done; but now I believe this is the best way to do it.

Chapter 10: Gobuta vs Ranga

TL Note: I'm not responsible for how you interpret this scene. Remember the importance of consent!

While the excitement from the last game has not fallen, and just before lunch, we will have our second game. Gobuta is obviously-in-place-wrong, and I-yet-enough-play-with-Gabil-so-me-passionate-to-go Ranga. Ah, Gobuta's desperation will make my food delicious. I mean .. I hope it doesn't happen …

As the match begins, Gobuta attacks Ranga .. The suicide bombing ?! I think, I think,

「I will do it ~ su .. You will drop ~ su」

He ran desperately screaming. He's serious, isn't he? How to go Gobuta. I will not forget your courageous sacrifice! Fare you well, Gobuta !! After saluting Gobuta in my heart, I noticed that my food actually looked more delicious with its despair as a spice, and as a result it felt a bit rough …

And then, Gobuta activated the extra skill 『Union』 and stuck to Ranga!

Huh uh?! I think surprised. Benimaru, Souei, and Shion as well, stood gaping in front of us. Totally unexpected. "What did he do ?!" it's written on our faces. Ranga rampages, refusing to become one, but unable to repel him. His anger reaches its peak, Ranga decides to shoot Gobuta from her back with a black flash. And that is the end for Gobuta. I immediately decided to go down with the full recovery potion in my hands …

「Agayaaaa …. Aaa, uh, ah? Huh huh? Huuh? Doesn't hurt ~ su? 」

Gobuta raised his head inquiring. Seriously ?! I can't even hide my astonishment. Even the guests, who were blinded by the light from the lightning, were sure the match had been decided. Knowing how powerful it was, the heads of the Department were convinced Gobuta was killed. Many just show up. I mean, yeah, that's how it's supposed to be. Even I would rush over with the full recovery potion before he actually died. But he wasn't hurt at all. I could hear Ranga's fangs getting angry.

W-what are you saying !! Is Gobuta a genius ?! Actually, I think he always was. I mean, consider this unification business. Although none of Ranga's subordinates could do so, Gobuta managed to do so with Ranga opposing. In other words, Ranga could not injure him with her ability. So it's a tie. But this is clearly a victory for Gobuta. Milim, what do you think? I sent a quick glance at him, and he replied with, “I also think Gobuta won!”

「This match is over! Winner: Gobuta !! 」

Milim. And the arena exploded with cheers. Gobuta leapt down from the horse, with the sight of a cowboy who had tamed a raging stallion. Upon hearing this announcement, Ranga lowered her head and sat down. His tail fell to the ground, not moving.

「Win, I won ~ su! I really won ~ su !! 」

Gobuta screams happily, and is congratulated by Touka, Saika, Nansou and Hokusou. No, really an unexpected result. We don't make bets, but if we do I'll bet against him. So let's praise him: it's done. Thinking that he was the type of man who excelled when under pressure; he had shown tremendous growth. By challenging Ranga fearlessly he was able to obtain a unique skill. I guess I should praise him today.

The second match of the day was Gobuta's victory. It is beyond hope. Whether it was in line with Raphael's prediction, I don't know, and I'm sure Raphael won't answer. That was my mind as I watched the cheerful Gobuta.

Before the lunch break, Ranga limped.

「I have no excuses, my lord .. I have shown a truly embarrassing performance」

Hanging his head, Ranga pondered her mistake. But, in a sense, this was only possible because of Gobuta's victory. Well, it might have happened because Ranga was off guard. I see,

「Ranga, do you now understand? If you look down on your opponents, here's the result. From now on, reflect on your mistakes and stop looking down on people! 」

「As you said ... I seem to be being too cocky. I will be more careful in the future 」

All is well if he understands. He's been too relaxed lately, so it's good medicine. Actually, I should thank Gobuta for teaching Ranga a lesson here. When I think about adding this, I,

「Of course, I also thank Gobuta. If he calls me, I will answer his call 」

Ranga nodded. What an unfair power that Gobuta gained – called Ranga. Well, I hope the two of them can get along from now on and help each other out. According to Raphael, 『Give me with your strength!』 Is a degraded version of one of my skills, and since I have greater authority, he will be able to summon Ranga as long as I don't need him. So, I asked Ranga to take care of Gobuta from now on. In other words, Gobuta can use it in the upcoming matches. So I guess I have to look forward to Benimaru vs. Gobuta.

＊ ＊ ＊

After lunch, the next game begins.

Match 11: Beretta vs Diablo

If these two fight with all their strength, I don't know who will win. This is the match I have been really looking forward to. Without a shout or a sound, both of them smoothly started the match.

From the start, both of them completely negated the physical attacks, so this would not turn into a physical battle. Exceeding an opponent with one's abilities might as well not work, so it was best to use sufficient strength to pass through. That is, rather than nuking an entire region, it is better to fire one very dense fireball. Sure, for an ordinary low – warrior creature, you will have to burn a large area so that the heat will burn their lungs, but it does not work on a tall creature with many obstructions. So it looks like we're going to see some impressive pinpoint capabilities. Well, how will this battle go.

Without a blow, Diablo fired a number of fireballs at Beretta. Everyone gets so hot, he probably plans to melt it. But the attack was not as much as the one that scratched Beretta, and Beretta retaliated

「Cannon Disaster!」

He suddenly fired 『Holy Demon Combination skill unique instant death skill. Suddenly trying to end this hard. This skill combines two opposite attributes – Sacred and Devil – so it cannot be blocked. But, uh,

「Kufufufu. I guess I can't use cheap tricks here. Moreover, testing you here might just end up with my defeat 」

It seemed like Diablo was teleporting behind Beretta, dodging the attack. So Diablo who was completely unharmed told Beretta who had fired that instant death skill. No matter how powerful the skill was, Diablo could always avoid it using "Heaven Time. Thus, Beretta's instant death skill was sealed. But, without looking nervous at all,

See So, as expected of Diablo-sama. You are actually a great demon who has lived for many months. However, I am also equal to you. Please don't hold back! 」

He shouted, and wearing a "fighting spirit" in his hand, he attacked Diablo.

「Kufufufufu. Oh young kids lately .. But very good, I guess I'll go all out! 」

As if by bowing to Beretta, Diablo put his hand on 『Ambition Demon Lord』 and got engaged. The close combat has begun. Punching and throwing kicks. Even though I thought that the caster that Diablo was he was going to harm, he actually seemed stronger. Each time she hit, Beretta had to start regenerating and thus be suppressed. In the end, whether spirit or body, the one who destroyed the others would emerge victorious. Destroy the spirit and the defense will be destroyed. So, if you surpass your opponent, you win. A good match. And that was easily understood by the spectators, with a clear victory.

In the end, there was only one. Diablo. It was his victory, where he was dominated by strength.

「Well, Beretta you did pretty well. But the person who also defeated my Lion Mask was too strong. In other words, it's not like the Lion Mask I'll lose to your Beretta! 」

I'm not sure if Milim tried to comfort Ramiris or make fun of him. After announcing Diablo's victory he specifically came just to say that. It seems he still holds a grudge. As for Ramiris, I can hear his teeth shivering, but what you can do – it is the difference in strength. Obviously he cannot argue.

And thus, the third match of the day, despite ending in a simple fight, did not feel like it at all.
