Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 114: Tournament~Final pt9

The last day of the tournament finally arrived. The final match today. Whoever wins between Benimaru and Diablo will not hesitate. That was because what was left in the end was the strongest. If Gobuta stays there, there may be objections against him. Well, even so it is still a fact that Gobuta remains in the top four. However, Gobuta became the 4th place. . . . . . Obviously the 4th place should be taken by Souei or Gerudo rather than Gobuta, it can be said that Gobuta is the owner of a strong fortune. But did you know, to be able to unite with Ranga, it might be impossible to say that it was just his luck. Currently he still could not master the ability, but eventually he would master it. After all, he could potentially achieve the unification of "Transform" in one night, so he would be able to optimize the unification. Before that, he aimed too high to control the power. Gobuta worked hard. It is probably Gobuta that has improved the most during this tournament.

Well, today's match, it can be said that Benimaru is blessed with his opponents. Although he had a good match against Souei, the other match with lower-ranking people like Gozurl and won by default with Gobuta. On the other hand, Diablo was up against three strong men. Former Demon King Karion, and my greatest masterpiece Beretta the Saint Demon Doll. And in the end it was Shion. His opponent was the strong people of the Demon Lord Class, yet he defeated all of them. Anyhow, if he wins against Benimaru in today's match. There would be no objection to calling him the strongest in Tempest. Well, how did it go? Today's live report will be conducted by Souka himself. Milim went to take Gobuta with him. Apparently he said he would train Gobuta all day, he didn't seem interested in the final. Although I don't know if it's a good or bad thing for Gobuta, there may rarely be an opportunity to receive training and other things from Milim personally. I want him to do his best as much as possible. It seems like he is training together with Karion-san the Lion Mask as well, they should be good friends. Oh well, while praying for Gobuta's safety, let's watch the game. 「Well that was the last game! Final match, start !! 」

Last . . . . . . Benimaru vs Diablo

At Souka's shout, the match began.

Kufufu. Diablo rejoiced, joy radiating from within his mind. The one who called out to him was truly, an extremely outstanding Master. Even though he lived for a long time, he had never come across a fight that made his heart pound like this. To him, fighting meant trampling on opponents.

The weak were simply trampled and killed. After all, it was because there were only a few people who could injure him who were residents of the spirit world. Even when he rarely manifested in the physical world, it was very simple for him to slaughter the people who lived there during his stay there. That also includes the Caller. After all, not knowing his own position, Summoner summoned Diablo who was a high-ranking being. . . It could only be said that it was a stupid act, he could not even protest if he retired from living. First of all, what kind of race was the Demon RaceDemon? In the ancient past, at the time when the Spirit of Light and Dark was born, receiving the blessing of light, the Angel Egg was laid, and received the waves of the Devil's darkness. Sown seeds. At the same time when the Time Spirit was born, the egg hatched, and the seed sprouted. Both were born as conceptual existences with pure energy bodies without physical bodies. That is the origin of angels and demons. The mysterious thing is that Angels and Devils born at the same time are at odds. When they met, a battle was inevitable, a long fight repeatedly occurred. However, because the effect of their fights was too great, unknowingly once in every 500 years they would only fight for seven days, such a deal was made. For Diablo who found pleasure in battle, such a period of peace was the most boring of times. For those who do not have a physical body, they do not have the ability to interfere with the physical world. That was why, he rejoiced when the call from the new Demon Lord came, it marked the end of a monotonous time. The Demon Lord (Rimuru). 『I prepare your food (body), the Devil comes out. Be the one who helps and serves me! 』

He grew excited every time he remembered it.

He was called and named! He felt very intuitive. He exterminated the little friesdemon that tried to steal the march, and then he stared indifferently. So, he got it. A new body and a worthy Master for him to swear allegiance. The body adapted to it, it turned into the body it wanted by freely depleting the magic power it stored that it had never used before. Moreover, his Master (Rimuru) has evolved into a true Demon King. He sensed the influx of overflowing energy into him and replenished the magic power consumed. And, the most decisive thing, he was given a name. The body made from magic power that had been stored for a long time, the empty body was completely injected with magic power, and when he received the name his form was stable. To him, fighting meant trampling on opponents. That's why he's not interested in power. After all, it was because he had no memory of a hard fight. Even in the fight against the Angels, it was just a massacre and a normal thing for him. Therefore, when the magic power saved was completely consumed, he became a powerful person worthy of being referred to as the Devil Duke. Even in the Demon world, there was no existence higher than him. Right now, he could stably use his experience that he had gained in a very long time, he might actually become an existence comparable to a True Demon God. Even Diablo was unable to see the limits of his Master Rimuru. For the first time Diablo realized there was a sky above the sky. [1] And, for him who had no interest in strength until now, Diablo also began to wish for strength after being inspired by his monster friends.1 Place. It was proof of being the highest among the subordinates of the Demon Lord Rimuru monster. That is proof of being the most useful and trusted person. A very sweet voice that shakes the mind. “However, a seat of rank 1 must be mine. "So Diablo thought. Shion who proposed the rank, was defeated by it. But, he also admitted Shion was the strongest oni, as he was his opponent for the semifinals. It's impossible to lower the guard. (Kufufufuf. However, the one who won this was me!) While Diablo was looking forward to the fight, he did not doubt his victory.

「. . . . . . . Final match, Start !! 」

With Souka's signal, the last match begins. Now all that was left was to win against Benimaru with all his strength. Diablo had not been excited yet, but he released the strength he carried in his body!

Benimaru thought while observing Diablo. This devil. . . . . is reckless. There were many strong and mutated people among Rimuru's subordinates. But, only this Satan (Diablo) is special. In Benimaru's insight, if he and Shion were to fight head-on, without a doubt the winner would be Shion. So he thought. Simple reason. Benimaru is suitable for group fights while Shion is suitable for individual fights. That'sallthatis. Turning the same amount of energy for a group attack into a single target would increase the strength. But even with such conditions, he thought that Shion had more advantages in one-on-one combat. However, in front of Diablo, Shion was defeated. It was a direct fight, yet he was overwhelmed. Benimaru thought that his chances of winning in a straight-forward fight were low. However. . . . . . . . . 「. . . . . . Get started!"

In response to Souka's shout, he distanced himself from Diablo in an instant. Lukewarm tricks and techniques are meaningless. The right choice is to challenge the opponent with the strongest skill with maximum strength. That was the decision Benimaru had taken after watching the defeated battle of the Lion Mask and Shion, decided at first!

「Prison Hell Fire Prison Black」

A black sphere the size of a fist flew towards Diablo. There was no attempt from Diablo to avoid it, the formation of the magic circle was immediately completed, and a 3m diameter dome was formed with Diablo in the center. Unlike the previous one, it was full of enormous magic power. It was a successful compression of Fire Hell, which possessed an unparalleled power that could not be resisted. Just like Benimaru, Diablo also had resistance to Natural Effects, but was useless against the black flame cancellation attribute. When the dome is finished, Benimaru's victory will be guaranteed, or at least that's what should happen. 「Kufufufufu. If I were to receive this attack straight ahead, it would be dangerous. ParadiseTime (Attractive Time) [2]. 」

Diablo's voice rang out and the time around him stopped. Before he was completely burned by the black fire dome, the movement of magic power was stopped, and the heat generation was blocked. Although he only saw her for a moment, he understood the details of her technique and countermeasures. It was another effect of the Unique Skill 『Great Wiseman [3]』 Diablo possessed, because Diablo who had mastered this skill, a skill that required a long activation time was useless against him.

This was certainly the most terrifying aspect of him who had diligently mastered this ability. Also the reason why Diablo deliberately allowed himself to receive attacks from his opponent, was only to reconfirm the results of his analytical judgment. In terms of some techniques, he could even steal them just by looking at them

「Cih, just by looking, my technique is sealed. . . . . . 」

「Kufufufufu. Please stop being so pretentious. You still have a trump card, right? You'll die if you're not really serious when accepting my technique, you know! 」

Diablo started the movement to use the technique at the same time as he stated. "The "End of World" which surpassed Shion's Special Step, was a Super Special Movement. [4] Benimaru judged that he had no time to think, and unleashed the short sword arts he had learned from Hakurou. "The Dim Stream Slash".it was like flowing water, counteracting everything and deflecting it back towards the opponent. Without being able to grasp its elegant simplicity, the effect would confuse the opponent, it was the pinnacle of sword arts.

「End of World!」 「Dim Slash Current !!」 At the same time as the End of World was thrown, the time stopped by Paradise Time began to flow. Receiving the continued effects of End of World, intense pain passed through Benimaru's entire body. The energy that the "Dim Current Slash could not resist" penetrated his entire body. 「Kufufufufu. You still get more. Or, did you give up? 」

Benimaru was blown away by the wind and rolled around on the ground when time stopped moving again. Although the pain was negated, her whole body was in pain, she noticed that this was a sign that her life was in danger. Diablo asked Benimaru in a carefree tone, but Benimaru did not have time to reply. Conversely, receiving the End of the World within Paradise Time and still being able to stand safely would be abnormal. However, he did not care about such thoughts, Benimaru believed that he himself was worthless.

His sword skills had improved so he could now fight with Hakurou. His ability to concentrate magic power for use in battle also increased and he could use it for various purposes. But . . . . . . Benimaru is inferior to Shion in individual combat, he is also inferior to Ranga in large-scale combat. In the end, he who specialized in commanding and looking at the entire image, was he unable to surpass the wall of strength? That is the problem Benimaru faces. As Commander of the Army, he could be useful to Rimuru. However, since he was now, wouldn't it be impossible for him to become the Rimuru Shield? He was haunted by such anxiety. That's why. . . . . . . . . (Don't mess with me. Why, there is a need for this great me [5] to worry about such a small and insignificant thing!) He gradually became angry. At first he had a grumpy personality, he became more mature and learned patience recently, but. . . . . . . . It is unlikely that his initial personality can change so easily. As a Commander he held a sense of responsibility only to make harmonious environmental goals come to fruition. (Stop that stupid. Unlike me, worrying over and over again is troublesome. That's right, I just need to win. If the opportunity was not there then I would just make it appear!)

Benimaru made a breakthrough. Benimaru stood up and brandished his katana without answering Diablo's question. Diablo who saw the appearance as a decision for the continuation of the fight, laughed lightly.

「Kufufufufu. It was Benimaru! 」

So he said as he took out a distorted blade, holding it with both hands. It looks like three claws, symmetrical. The length of one claw is about 1m, a sharp double-edged blade. This is a special weapon made by Kurobee for Diablo, Claw Scissor Scissors [6]. Looking at Diablo who had not used a weapon before and took out his personal weapon now, a commotion appeared within the Colosseum. And, while anticipating something, they are overwhelmed by intense enthusiasm.

Benimaru cast off his doubts, and focused his mind. In the first place, there was a man who greatly improved during the fight. If you say recently, it is Gobuta. "If that idiot can, there's no way I can't!" It was the simplest answer Benimaru asked. (I'll do it. I will not let this underestimate my power ...!!!) And while calming his mind, a thick aura covered his entire body. He called 『Devil Flame Transformation on, the injuries on his body healed. At the same time, he fused his thick aura and black flames into one. There were no ripples in it, a beautiful dark red aura covered her entire body and the preparations were finished. It doesn't even take more than a second. 「I'll be serious next. Don't hate me even if you die, okay? 」

「Kufufufufu. Confidence like that, I don't like it. 」Their views intersect, each of them releasing the greatest technique they have.

「Edit Harvest EndLife! [7]」 「Rebirth Blast from Flamethe Hazy Black Flame !! [8]」

Diablo's scissors that reaped all lives, momentarily clashing with Benimaru's red-tinted Katana, it was stopped and repulsed. When Katana was pulled, a wave of black fire aura struck Diablo and slashed at him. As with running water, it was unavoidable, the flame wrapped up and burned everything thoroughly. Currently, produced at this time is the Benimaru Special Step. Katana Benimaru is not resistant to heat and its impact so that it breaks and melts. Diablo's scissors also melted due to the damage he received from Benimaru's Katana, and became something he couldn't use. Of course, Diablo who was holding it also received a huge wound on his chest and fell to the ground, defeated.

「Ku, Kufufufu. . . . . . . Majestic . It was the first time in my life that I felt defeat. . . . . . .

Whatisthis? This bitterness. I never want to feel that way again. . . . . . "Will no more? Ye . . What you think is a fight. . . . . 」Benimaru fell to his knees as well, it seemed like he had exhausted his spirit energy.

「E, eetto. . . . . . . This is a win for Benimaru Contestant !! 」

So Souka stated, at this moment, the winner was already determined. It was a long tournament that lasted for several days. So, it finally arrived.
