Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 131: Demon King Leon

While staring at Rimuru who was sitting in front of him, Leon recalled the past.

With the appearance of a shoujo, a genderless Demon King.

Although it belonged to the weakest slime race, it developed into a demon king with a vast magic capacity.

It was a unique existence, with the appearance of Izawa Shizu, a girl he once saved.

And he was someone who knew this girl, who Leon was looking for.

When you think about it, this is a strange twist of fate.

Although he is a visitor from Earth, he comes as a "reincarnator" with memories of his previous life — unbelievable events. Moreover, he was reincarnated as a monster.

Such was Demon Lord Rimuru: a being who met the strongest species in this world, the Dragon Type, who was destined to deal with Leon, and who attained absolute power.

But doesn't this all seem as if everything is connected, as if someone is leading it?

He thinks .

This is all possible harmony that has been set before.

TN Note: Preformed harmony is the idea that while substances only affect themselves, Gods program the way they interact and harmonize with each other.

However, Leon ignores the idea and starts talking about Chloe's girl.

About 300 years ago, Leon came to this world.

Instead of being called upon, the cause is instead caught up in the unintentionality of dimensional distortion.

Veldora had been sealed at that moment, and the mighty Jura Forest had been designated as an inviolable zone.

Despite the relative peace that the world eventually receives, Leon is thrown into it.

At that time he was less than 10 years old.

However, there was someone he had to protect. There was a young girl who fell with him. That girl is Chloe O'Bell.

He is Leon's childhood friend, best friend. The existence he loved was like a sister, everything to him.

That was why Leon, even when his body was destroyed by rampaging magic, he forcefully suppressed the destruction with the strength of his willpower.

With a strong will and feeling, a boy less than 10 years old managed to control the magic that was inside him. As a result, he obtained the unique skill "Guardian".

From his desire to protect the girl younger than him, the power to protect had awakened within him.

Moreover, it's not all. By getting the "hero egg", a portion of the remaining fortress energy is obtained.

Even at a young age, Leon possessed the qualities of a Hero.

「It's okay. Because I'll protect Chloe 」

Leon comforted the young girl, who was crying incessantly, with a smile

However, the girl in Leon's arms suddenly disappeared. Although the power to protect has just awakened with Leo ……

Leon sets out on a journey to find Chloe.

Though the years pass, Leon never gives up looking for Chloe.

Perhaps, he had returned to his original world. So he considered.

However, even in their original world, Chloe had no siblings. If Leon doesn't protect her, who will?

Then, all he had to do was call her back here.

He learned magic that could summon certain people through pointing time and space.

With his extraordinary intelligence, Leon learns magic at an unreasonable speed. All to call a single girl, and protect her.

However, his efforts ended in failure.

Even the genius Leon could not exert any magical power in a world beyond this one.

But he did not give up and continued his research.

An extreme miracle that can only be tried once every 66 years, for the success he travels the world.

She learned from the fairies the methods to be certified as heroes, but they were so useless that it only angered her.

He captured 8 great spirits from them, and since it did not seem to cause any major trouble, he continued on his way.

After reaching the peak of human wisdom, he went to the territory of the demon lords.

Leon's thirst for knowledge is limitless; he won't hesitate to do anything to call Chloe.

Therefore, he continued to live while destroying high rank demons and taking their wisdom for himself.

There were also those who wanted to join as his subordinates, who were allowed to do anything at will as long as they did not interfere.

As time went on, the number of subordinates under Leon gradually grew larger, and he even came to have a small territory.

Leon never called himself, but soon the name "Satan Platinum" began to spread.

Not long after, the name was associated with the name of the Demon King, but Leon paid no heed to it. That kind of thing doesn't matter to him.

On the contrary, taking knowledge from the wise demons that came to fight him was of the utmost importance.

And for the first time, an existence that could be called a threat attacked Leon.

"Curse master" Kazalim, offended by the nickname Leon the demon king, visits to clean it up.

Even for Leon, the genius with the "egg Hero", "Curse Master" Kazalim is a formidable foe.

A shallow attack will not work on Kazalim, the undead king. With Leon's ability to specialize in defense, he could not deliver a fatal attack on Kazalim.

On the other hand, Kazalim also found Leon a difficult opponent. Penetrating a defense like an iron wall was difficult, and all of his curses were null and void.

With both sides lacking a deciding factor, the battle that lasted lasted for several days.

However, the ending was disappointing.

Eggs hatched.

Absorbing his pure feelings in Leon's inner soul, "the Hero's Egg" has hatched.

Leon has risen and become a true hero.

He who rules as the demon king, he who is the true hero. And that, is Leon Cromwell.

He awakened the ability, the main skill of the "King of Metatron Purity".

An ability that attracts the purest energy of power, magic, aura, and skill.

For Kazalim who used complex skills, this was the worst possible match.

With hex curse blood and blood, mud rotting flesh and microorganisms, magic water bones.

The parts that make up Kazalim's body, are dismantled under the pulsating heavenly light of the supreme skill "King of Purity Metatron".

Without being able to put up a fight, Kazalim's "Curse master" had been destroyed before Leon.

With an ironic twist, Leon who has overthrown the demon king is recognized as the demon king in name and in reality. Leon thought it was a good thing.

In the castle where Kazalim lived, an experimental facility was established.

In addition to being used as an experimental facility, he began to consider his residence.

When Chloe gets summoned, she needs to give him a place to stay. So Leon thought, and decided to get his own territory.

And he found new lands in the southwest.

Extreme magic was used without restraint to reform the ecology itself.

And thus, the golden city of El ・ Dorado was completed. However, Leon had conducted research exclusively at Kazarim's residence on the demon continent until …

His summoning failed, and Izawa Shizu was summoned.

His condition could be understood with a simple glance.

Unlike Leon, this girl with the black hair of a burning crow had suffered a miserable wound and was about to die.

Due to her failed summoning, the body of this girl might immediately collapse under the rampaging magic.

But wise age is a success. Which makes him happy. Moreover, if not for her summoning, this girl would have burned to death.

Leon's a little troubled. Calling this help would be arrogant. He was called to his own comfort.

If the girl is saved as a result, this is due to her own luck, and not Leon's efforts.

So he thought.

And that's why,

「Although I think you are trash, you seem to be compatible with fire. 」

After saying that, «Flame Giant» Ifrit was called, and possessed the young girl. The high-ranking spirits stolen from Ramiris' dungeon now prove useful.

The girl was stable, and was snatched from the jaws of death.

After that it all depends on the girl's luck.

It was not the result of his actions, but belonged to the girl: because she had to be the one who sought to create her own path.

In addition, Leon is unable to get involved with the girl.

Leon is Leon, the girl is the girl; and she has to think about her own life. It may seem cold, but that is the law of the jungle.

Leon really considered this, and he had no reason to shoulder the heavy burden of the young girl's fate.

At that moment, Leon does not realize his strange act will create a twisted tapestry of fate.

And thus, the weaver of fate has twisted another pattern.

Before Leo, a young boy had appeared.

The boy calls himself Kagurazaka Yuuki.

The young leader of the Freedom Association had told Leon that his organization would be useful to him.

He seems to have heard about Leon's search for the young girl "Otherworldly" through forbidden means.

With confidence, he boasted he could help Leon find the girl he was looking for.

On a whim, Leon allowed it.

Either way, he would not be harmed if Yuuki failed.

No matter how many years, she was determined to successfully summon Chloe with her own two hands.

After deciding to give it a try as there was no potential loss, Chloe's characteristics were submitted, and the proposal was accepted.

When you think about it, it's his biggest mistake.

Kagurazaka Yuuki was summoned

Chloe O'Bell's.

He has succeeded.

In other words, if he did not rely on Yuuki, fate might change differently.

Chloe is summoned by Yuuki, meets a monster named Rimuru, and travels to the past with Hinata.

Trapped in the laws of a perfect world, Chloe has awakened her own ultimate skill while resisting all external interference.

If it wasn't for Yuuki, Leon's summoning might have really worked.

However, it was something that was already undetermined.

Whether Leon would eventually succeed in summoning in another world or not, there was no point in speculating about this.

Because the problem now is what to do in the future.

＊ ＊ ＊

Leon's story is complete.

Black tea has long been cooled. As we spoke, time passed.

Or rather, the fact that Leon had attempted to call Chloe was unexpected.

When the hero attacks his facility, he has this strange, unexplainable feeling that he must avoid confrontation.

So, she decided ――Even though she won't say it―― to leave Shizu san in the care of the hero who came, and said she will retreat.

When you think about it, it's easy to explain.

Although Leon is unlikely to know, these are all pre-established harmonies created by Chloe's abilities.

I, in order to complete Leon's memory, told him my side of the story.

My meeting and farewell with Chloe, as well as Yuuki's actions.

In addition, what Hinata and Ruminas have to say about Chloe's current hero.

Leon trusted the words I said, and shared information that only Leon would know.

After the last cold tea is drunk, drink,

「In other words, Chloe is currently under Yuuki's control.

Due to the unique curse of "Three absolute orders" Chloe cannot fight Yuuki.

Ruminas and I had tried to conquer Yuuki, but unfortunately he was one step ahead and he escaped.

From now on, when Yuuki moves, we will fight against him.

Our goal is also to free Chloe, do you think it is possible for us to cooperate? 」

I went straight to the point.

I was thinking of asking Demon King Leon to join forces against Yuuki, or at least I did,

「Hmph, I don't mind working together.

My wish is to call Chloe is the desire to protect her happiness.

However, if there were obstacles, wouldn't it be natural for them to be eradicated?

Let's leave the question of whether Chloe is really the strongest for now.

And, how do I know you'll be so useful in this? 」

It seems like we should first have a good understanding of each other's abilities.

Fine . If that's what he wants, then I'll present him with a blow as requested earlier by Shizu san.

TN Note: means Shizu San's intention to hit Leon. Chapter 25ish.

"Good! I understand .

I'm fine with ending this disturbing conversation. You have to prepare yourself.

Unlike Ramiris, my punches don't all speak! 」

「Fufu, come to me」

We laughed at each other, and stood together.

We're heading for the training ground. Where Shion and the silver knight Alrose had gone before.

Led by Leon we ventured into the palace. Sculptures and corridors with good taste of his hobby adorn the hall, while glass walls allow for a view of the outside.

It is a fantastic elaborate palace. Of course I didn't say that and quietly followed behind Leon.

We arrived at the training ground.

A magic formation was carved on one side of the wall, which seemed to serve the purpose of absorbing and dispersing the absorbed energy within.

With this, a little bit of violence will not be a problem.

So I thought when we entered the ground.

"Well……"

Inside, Shion had an uncomfortable expression on her face.

And the person there who looked like a dust cloth duster that was constantly moving and twitching seemed to be the silver knight Alrose.

Suddenly I felt cold sweat running down my spine.

「A-it-it's not what you think!

He really! And in response I also became serious.

However, as he dodged by teleportation, I felt an amused and attacking feeling ……

When I noticed, Alrose-dono was in this condition!

What the heck, I am also very troubled with this !! 」

Is that meant as an excuse?

I want to seriously investigate this matter, but now is not the time.

I quickly took out the full potion, and sprinkled it over the Silver Knight Alrose.

After that, I asked Alrose to drink another bottle after he finally regained his senses enough to drink.

「I-it was my defeat. I didn't expect Shion-dono to be so skilled ……

I was very lacking in training .... 」.

Apparently, he looks fine.

Well, it's a relief, there's the problem of Shion's son.

「Oi, Shion ....」.

When I called, Shion immediately shrank and sat down at Seiza.

「Do you really understand our purpose for coming here?」

「Ay, of course. We're here to ... "make a good relationship with Satan Lord Leon" right? 」[1]

Does he really understand? For some reason, I have a newbie suspicion.

Yes, whatever level of friendship I would gladly accept, but a hostile relationship is certainly undesirable.

We came here to negotiate, yet you defeated the other party's comrade in black and blue, what were you thinking. No, you may not think of anything.

Choosing Shion as a companion was a failure on my part.

I don't think it was the wrong choice to leave a competent Diablo in the kingdom of Ingrasia, but it left me with no choice but to bring in Shion.

I think I was lucky given the fact that the other party was still alive.

「Ah, Leon. My apologies, my subordinates seem to have defeated your subordinates ... 」.

I apologize evasive, though,

「No, it's just my subordinates acting immature. Who is Afraid .

But .... it really turns off the mood. 」

Yeah, correct.

I originally intended to serve Leon one strike, but this really killed the strong mood we were building.

「I, don't want to fight. Let's save this for another day. 」

「Fufu. Okay then . You and me even, is that okay? 」

"Thank you . 」

In fact, yes …

It seemed that fellow Leon, did not intend to settle this with just a single blow. Feelings like this.

Apparently, he was the type of person whose actions did not always correspond to what he said.

That's why Shizu-san is also ……

However .... if that is the case, this ends without a fight due to Shion's .. effort.

So, if this is the birth of our friendship, things have ended pretty well, actually.

In the end, we can exchange useful information, and give our consent for future cooperation.

That said, this is just an oral agreement that needs to be revised and perpetuated.

Even so, I thought I would still continue Shizu san's promise.

Although I didn't hit Leon, I think Shizu san didn't really expect me to beat Leon.

The invitation was sudden, but I'm glad I accepted it.

After a heart-to-heart conversation with Leon, I was able to understand his personality.

Achieving one of my goals, I returned to my country satisfied.

For Rimiru, this conversation was over one day.

However, for Leon this was not the end.

Instead, the girl he had been looking for for so many years, Chloe had been found. He started taking action as soon as possible.

He ordered the Silver Knight Alrose, to gather all the main knights.

And so, in order to reclaim Chloe, the demon king Leon moves out.

Lying in wait, Kagurazaka Yuuki

The day when these two forces face each other.

And that battle meant that the fight between the two Ultimate skill bearers would happen again.
