Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 146: Results and Conclusions

Understanding that the invaders had entered his territory, the Ghost King [1] Adalman pursed his fleshless lips. Then, he made a sound by gritting his teeth slightly. It was hard to understand it, but it could be said that Ghost King Adalman grinned widely, and sneered.

「You seem to be in a good mood, Adalman-sama. 」

The man, who was a Holy knight, and a confidant of his, welcomed Adalman. He is a ghost, and has no physical body. However, he stood up with a figure that had not changed since he was alive. Although he had turned into a ghost, which was considered a monster, he had neither humans nor monsters, but had built his body, which was the same as when he was alive, out of many corpses. As for Adalman, he had no attachment to his body when he was alive, although he was somewhat happy with his current figure, which had become a bone. While the trustworthiness of Adalman, who is a former Commander of the Holy Knights, may have some attachment and pride to his appearance during his lifetime.

It was because of his refreshing appearance ―― Although it is strange to say that Spirit is refreshing ―― facial features of a young man. But from the blue determination that flew around him, and his pale complexion, it was clear that he was not alive. 「Yes, I'm in a good mood. Guests seem to be coming, Albert. 」

He told his confidant, former Holy Knight Commander Albert, about the presence of the invaders. He replied, 「So, did they finally come?」

Understanding everything, Albert ―― who is now a Death Paladin (Holy Knight of Ghosts) [2] od nodded happily. In the past, they had gone to carry out purification with good intentions to prevent the outbreak of large-scale dead spirit calamities on the battlefield in The Great Forest Jura. In doing so, Priest Adalman and the four holy knights had left together, but they had faced an unexpected situation. When they arrive at the remnants of the battlefield, Dragon Zombies (Carrion Dragons) [3] monstrous monsters, live there.

Although they had managed to defeat the Dragon Zombies after a desperate fight, they had used all their strength there. No one came to save them, for they did not act on the orders of the church, but on the basis of their own convictions. Thus, their fate was sealed, but their hearts, who wanted the peace of the Great Jura Forest caused a miracle. Well, instead of a miracle, it might be a disaster for them. . . Adalman's group turned into ghosts after receiving the curse of the dead, and a large amount of magic essence [4]. However, with their strong will, Priest Adalman and Holy Knight Commander Albert managed to guard their egos. Imam Adalman becomes the King of the Undead, the king of ghosts. Holy Knight Commander Albert became the Death Paladin. And his three subordinates became Death Lords (Ghost Knight Leader) [5]. The Ghost King Adalman who, having obtained the abilities of a Necromancer (Dead Lord) [6], dominated the dead spirits around him, and stayed inside the cave. It was an old story from over a few hundred years ago. The rule of time does not apply to those, who have become undead, so the number of years that have passed cannot be confirmed. But, he noticed the birth of the new ruler of the Jura Profound Forest. It's natural. After the disappearance of Storm Dragon Veldora, he had sent his subordinates to gather information, as he expected the forest to become turbulent. As a result, he chose to submit to the new Demon King. Actually, he had become his subordinate. 「Yes. The time for us to become useful to Demon King Rimuru-sama, who gave us peace, has finally arrived. If there is in this labyrinth, I can hire the deceased as I please, unlike during the long cave life, this place is filled with excitement. We must prove our loyalty to our "God" who has given us such a beautiful environment. ""yeah! This Albert, understand. 」

Adalman nodded at Albert's answer with 「Ya」. His faith had died once before; demon Lord Rimuru was chosen as the new target of his faith. Of course Rimuru doesn't know that. On the contrary, Rimuru thought I'm sorry, I don't think you guys can win a win or something like that, but Adalman and his group don't know that, because they are excited. Right now, they were intending to bring victory to their new master. Staring at each other, and nodding, Adalman burned with motivation, Albert was the same. And so, they began to think of countermeasures against the foolish invaders who had come.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

The three people, who had come from the empire, smoothly continued the arrests. After parting ways with Damrada, and entering the Labyrinth City, they had enrolled in the guild there. They had gathered some information before, but they felt that the playful contents of the basement were mostly a pile of game elements. However, this place was where Zhen Liu Xing's Trap of Feelings shone. As for the monster strength he heard from those stories, they didn't seem like a big deal. The problem is that the depth of the basement is unknown. To progress, capturing the labyrinth in one go is not a path, as there is a limit to the amount of food that can be carried. But such worries, such as,

「Ah, it's okay. When you find the stairs, there is a door to the inn. Maybe stay in that place. So, there is no problem even if we do not bring a lot of food. Besides, we can sell things we don't need there, because there's a merchant in that place, you know? 」

So, it's really satisfying.

In addition, there seems to be an item called the "Resurrection Bracelet" …. . 「It seems we can bounce back even if we die inside with this …. 」

Mark and Zhen looked doubtful as Shinji explained what he heard. How say? In this serious world, only here was the world filled with jokes, it was extremely difficult to describe feelings. Since they are "Otherwolders" as well, in this world having the ability will garner treatments that benefit you. However, it is not to the degree that you can do as you please in this country. Yuuki was doing his best with regards to fixing the food problem, which was also related to the circulation of goods in the Empire, but this place seemed to have surpassed that. Takoyaki [7], Okonomiyaki [8] and Yakisoba [9]. In addition, recently Crepes [10] will be made soon. The stalls were crowded and lined side by side. The toilet issue was also handled perfectly, and the comfort of the inn was also outstanding. 「Should I stay here? Say, are we not going back to the Empire? 」

「Hei!」 「No, sorry. . . . . This is just a joke, just a joke. Don't get mad, Shinji 」「 I'm not angry, I wonder if I'll take it seriously. 」「. . . I also want to stay here 」The three look at each other,

「No, no, no use. ""okay? Even if we complain to Yuuki-san, the war has already started …. ""Well... . a pity…"

They gave up, and breathed. The city is crowded, the food is delicious. In addition to its convenience, the city seemed as if it was a center of culture and entertainment, a place of new pleasures was born, one after another. The pleasure that they were so familiar with in their previous world, was nostalgic for them, that the Empire had no idea. It was not like the Empire had no culture or entertainment, but it was not as free as in this city. Above all, the war is almost over. For the three of them, who knew the Empire's military might well, it was useless to think that this country would have a chance to win against the Empire. Want how else, they cut through such regrets, and challenged the labyrinth.

………

……

…

And now . One week had passed after the labyrinth capture began. Three members of Shinji's group were relaxing in the inn inside the labyrinth.

「How should I say ... don't we earn a lot of money this week? Although it was said that this inn only offered minimal facilities, it was still at a moderate level. Relatively, lodging costs are cheap, and unneeded equipment can be sold for money, haven't we saved up a lot? 」

Mark was happy to ask a question. Zhen raised his face as if he was a bit nervous. Shinji took out a gold coin from the pouch as if he answered both of them. 「Yes, we save a lot. I heard that the record for the highest catch group here seems to be the 39th floor. Looks like they're having trouble catching the 40th floor. The piece-by-piece weapons that started to emerge from the open pit seemed to be selling for a very high price. 」「 I want to know what it is, that hole. That weapon didn't even appear until the 40th floor, did it? Two or three of them appeared on the 50th floor, right? 」「 Yes, that's true. In fact, the treasure chests above the 30th floor seemed to appear very rarely. The weapon was of quite quality, maybe this was the reason? That's what I think .. There seems to be a secret. Even when I asked the merchant, they didn't tell me, and just smiled. 」「 Hey, it's suspicious. However, if you are talking about good quality, this is the best. Look it!"

While saying so, Mark took out Minos Bardiche, and showed it. It shone with a beautiful silver color. The tallest gem made of Mithril. It was an item obtained from a treasure chest guarded by a 50th floor guard, it was a unique grade weapon. 「This is a unique grade weapon, you know? Even in the Empire, we won't be able to obtain it so easily. 」「 Or rather, besides that Bardiche, there is a proper open hole. Whatisit? 」「 Even so, it is a beautiful weapon. The shape is strange. . . 」「 This is very surprising. We are seriously trying to catch this maze, we are earning, we are also enjoying this. . . On the contrary, to be able to provide weapons like this freely, isn't this country more than we previously thought? Isn't this bad? 」Mark and Zhen nodded at Shinji's words. There are many things to consider.

First, the 50th floor boss is strong. Among the monsters that appeared around the Empire, there had never been a monster with a class that was born within these 100 years. According to the disaster grade rank Yuuki had set up, it was an "A." rank monster." As for the classification of this class of monsters, the Empire also adopted it as a common way to refer to monsters, as it was easy to understand with it There was also a reason that, if the classification was different, then it could cause problems, as well, because this classification system is widely used by traders.In addition, on the 40th floor, there is a snake that starts attacking with dangerous breaths, it is fun to say that it is an "A" rank monster". It won't start attacking if the enemy is outside of its breathing range, although there is no way out in that narrow room. And, it was certain that the one they encountered on the 50th floor was an "A" rank monster" .On the 30th floor, the movement of the disabled people with chains and weights, but there h is an uncontrolled movement. He was a dangerous boss, according to his status as a demon among the subordinates of the Demon King. But, he was not an enemy the three could not defeat, although it was another story if one of them could win against the enemy alone. . . 「Surely. I'm afraid that class monster is guarding the 50th floor. The floor boss class seemed to lose against the guard class boss of every ten floors .. Didn't his strength only increase in one level from the 40th floor to the 50th floor? 」

Mark agrees with Shinji. After smoothly passing through the 50th floor, they were now on the 55th floor. But, they were not worried about the next boss on the 60th floor. Ghost-type monsters had appeared since the 51st floor. They think that boss must be the undead type. Fortunately, Mark had obtained Minos Bardiche, whereas for Shinji and Zhen, they did not have effective weapons against the undead. Even so they don't think that they will lose, even though it makes sense that you shouldn't let your guard down. 「Oh well, even in the worst case, it seems that we will not die, so will we do our best without being careless?」

Mark and Zhen also nodded at Shinji's words. Their destination was the bottom floor. To determine the presence or absence of research facilities. It was unknown how many floors there were up to the bottom, so they needed to continue the capture without carelessness. They retired that day after they finished confirming the plan once again. And then, three days passed. They finally arrived at the stairs of the 59th floor after they cleared the poison swamp, and the corrosion zone. They went down the stairs that ―― reached the 60th floor display floor display increased by one figure as soon as they went down.

They finally arrived in front of the boss room. They had enough rest last night, and their preparations were done. In fact, they had arrived in front of the stairs yesterday around noon, but as a precaution they had rested. It was because they had just fought desperately against the three Death Gods, so this was an additional reason why they were hesitant to force their way in. They had the strongest grade strength among ghost-type monsters, without a doubt it had strength above rank "A". When they came here, they felt that the strength of the enemy had increased tremendously. That was why the three of them rested, to replenish their energy. For the boss after this, they thought that they would have no problems as long as they faced it calmly. The three of them nodded at each other, placed their hands on the door carefully, and then pushed it open without stopping.

−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−

The result was a complete victory for the Ghost King Adalman. It was a brilliant victory to the point that I was so stunned. The three-man skill analysis had been completed as well.

Shinjy .. Estimated rating [EP: 64,000] Unique Skills 『Master Medic [11]』 Attack Method: Virus Manipulation. Manipulation of Air Composition, Toxins. He can heal naturally too.

Mark …. . Estimated rating [EP: 73,000] Unique Skills 『Throwers [12]』 He can throw anything. As long as it was comprehensible, it was possible to throw anything, even monsters. Since there was no attribute, it had broken through the damage. A troublesome ability. Zhen …. . Estimated rating [EP: 58,000] Unique Skills 『Observators』 Avoidance Instinct. Danger Sense. Trap sense. Monster Sense. Presence sense. Anyway, he's nimble. He is the natural enemy of the labyrinth.

I feel the outline is like that. I would be happy to consider their abilities.

When you just look at their power, you will think that they will win against Adalman. And yet. The man, Adalman, seems to have grown tremendously in the space of a year. Or rather, the group of selfish Death Lords who did not have a major change in their original fighting power, in contrast to Adalman and Albert, who were proud of their current strength, were, which cannot be compared to before. Anyway, even I don't know, either,

"Hehehe, you're surprised, right! Actually, even though it's a secret. . . The young man named Arnaud, or something similar, trained himself in the place of Adalman! 」So, Ramiris told me with a feeling of surprise Ramiris' surprise was a success!」. N? Arnaud is practicing? That's not Adalman's group, but Arnaud's? As for the source of the incongruity, the Holy Knights had actually passed through the 50th floor quickly, and seemed to have arrived at the 60th floor. But, they were defeated by one knight there. The Holy Knight, who was rumored to be the strongest several hundred years ago. Albert, Adalman's confidant, who became the Death Paladin.

「Did the quality of the Holy Knights today have fallen??

While saying that, he tackled the sword technique he had when he was alive to the specs of his monsters, and overwhelmed Arnaud, or so I was told. "Eeh, does not the saint consider his weakness?" That's what people think, I think the same. The cause of the third defeat was related to Adalman's trump card. "Sacred-Devil Inversion" With the ability of this skill, the holy attribute was reversed into a demonic attribute. The target was himself, so there was no worry of any resistance. They thought it was a joke, something like a sacred skeleton, but Adalman and Albert had nullified the sacred attribute due to the Sacred-Devil Inversion. First of all, in addition to having resistance to physical attacks, they also had resistance to all attribute attacks. So, against the two who had overcome the weakness of their holy attribute, it had become a hopeless situation. With such a feeling, the three of them were quickly defeated, and had become particles of light. By the way, there was also one more trump card, which summoned Death Dragon (Ghost Dragon). I was told, that after fighting with the Adalman group, the Dragon Zombies became their friends, and seemed to have evolved.

「Tuanku (Rimuru)! Can you see it? Our victory is for your sake !! 」

While looking at Adalman who shouted that loud, (This, the power protecting the 60th floor is too strong right ..) Is my honest mind.

After I calmed down, I started questioning Ramiris. With such an attitude, he should have something he was hiding.

「Eh, that kind of thing. . . But I'm not hiding anything. . . 」

Ramiris who was clearly acting suspicious, became agitated. It was obvious that he was hiding something. Just as I threatened him, that from now on the cake would be banned, Ramiris began to talk quickly like a machine gun. First, Arnaud and his group had reached the 60th floor at the initial stage, and seemed to have been defeated by Adalman. And then for a few months, they seemed to have been training on the 60th floor under Albert's guidance. Adalman acquired the "Devil-Devil Return" skill from Ruminas who occasionally came to the research institute to play. Adalman helped with various studies, and got along with vampire researchers, and seems to have caught the attention of the Ruminas.

He seems to have fixed Ruminas' "Day and Night Return" and has obtained it. Of course, as a token of gratitude, he also taught this skill to Ruminas. And Arnaud came in when Adalman acquired this skill. If you think about it, he was a man with a bad time, but since he could receive training from the strongest knight a few hundred years ago here, it could also be said that his luck was good. With such a feeling, the 60th floor was transformed into a dangerous domain. 「Hey, hey ... Then, Arnaud and his group are where now?」 「Yah .. maybe because of the training, they easily defeated the boss of the 70th floor, and are now in a dead end on the 79th floor!」 「Umm ... from floor 61 to 70 is golem zone exactly .. 」「 True. They were defeated easily .. 」

The 70th floor guard is a perfect reproduction of the spirit protective giant I have created to guard the floor. Since I previously broke one that Ramiris made in the Spirit Labyrinth, I made it as an apology but …

「I don't need it, because I have Beretta!」

He said, so I put him on the 70th floor. There was no worry of being defeated, as it was a super heavyweight class with high defense, due to the Demon Steel. It is a protective steel that is not affected by toxins, viruses, and air quality. My confidence comes from my belief for the Demon Golem (Satan Lord Protector Colossus) [13], formerly the protector of the spirit colossus, though ….

「Veldora, who do you think is stronger, Adalman or Demon Golem?」 「Umm. Without a doubt, it was Adalman. 」

As expected ... In the past year, he seems to have greatly increased his strength.

No, I think he's been strong from the beginning, I may fail to realize it. By the way, about Death Paladin Albert, I just noticed her for the first time now. Therefore, I was surprised by Ramiris.

「Oke, starting from today, the 51st to 60th floor will be diverted with the 61st floor to the 70」 「Featured floor! Just leave it to me! 」

So, the inside of the labyrinth is activated. Then, there was one more thing that was on my mind. 「By the way, 80th floor boss, is it that strong?」 「Eh? Whahuh? "" Well, isn't Arnaud as powerful as the Arc Demon? Or rather, didn't that person, Adalman, have become as powerful as the Demon Arc before I noticed! Eh, huh? The insect-type monster shell on the 80th floor was coated with Demon Steel, right? After the golem with slow movement, arranged for there to be Insect-type monsters with high speed movement, this. . . Hey ... What happened in this place? 」「 Alright, you know …. 」I kept urging Ramiris, who was being suspicious, with questions, and I understood the current situation. Arnaud didn't seem to be in a dead end with the 80th floor guards. That was with the previous one, the 79th floor boss. His progress seems to be hindered by the Insect Queen, Apito. With his super-fast movements, and ultimate poison. Arnaud could not touch it with his reflexes in the sword techniques he had trained. What !! [14] I feel like shouting. "But but! Not only me, Shisou also trained, or something similar, insects trained by him, you know! 」「 Yo, you idiot! You, did you betray me!? 」「 Because, it's unfair if only Shisou has a face that says you're not related! 」「 Gunununu .. [15] 」

It looks like Veldora did the same. Maybe it was my fault to entrust the labyrinth to these two people. After reaching abnormal evolution, Quee Apito Insects seemed to belong to the ten strongest individuals in this labyrinth. After evolving into a humanoid form, his insect-like appearance from before disappeared. Getting a beautiful shape. It was the result of abnormal evolution. So, the strongest individual in this labyrinth. . . There is a possibility that they have Executive-class combat power. I don't want to know, but the various dragons seem to have evolved into the Dragon King class. It had become that there were four Dragon Kings.

In addition, the 90th floor Guard, the Nine Heads of the Kumara Beast [16] The 80th floor guardian, the Kaiser Zegion Insect [17] The Boss of the 79th floor, the Insect of Queen Apito [18] The 60th floor guard, the Guardian of the 60th floor, Ghost King Adalman Vanguard from the 60th floor, Death Paladin AlbertAlso, 50th floor Guard, Gozurl and Mezurl. Frankly, excluding Gozurl and Mezurl, there are still 9 people ―― more precisely, it should be 9 people? [19] ―― which have the same power. The Dragon Monarch is Ramiris' subordinate, but the remaining 7 people seem to be my subordinates. Although I think that Gozurl and Mezurl are better as subordinates of Ramiris. Both of them will do anything in gratitude for being Ramiris' subordinate, and want to continue serving under me. Hence, they could use the "Resurrection Bracelet" many times. Incidentally, without me noticing, they became emotionally attached to her.

By the way, I will give proper orders to these guards so that they do not raise their hands, except against those who attack the labyrinth. Otherwise, it would be impossible for ordinary people to travel in the labyrinth. It was rather pitiful, it had become a situation where you could not challenge the labyrinth without having some Demon Lords. So, during the observation of the three invaders, I noticed the current state of the labyrinth, which was unexpected. Oh well, it's nice to be strong, but I'd be restless if it evolved beyond my imagination. Maybe it's a shy person's bad habit. I commended Adalman for his beautiful deeds, and I told him that the floor was replaced as a gift. He was very touched, and said that this was a sign of his desire to be useful to me in the future. Well, I hope he does his best.

What I noticed next was, the three intruders seemed to have returned without attacking again. They may have some purpose, though they may grow to fear the overwhelming might of Death Paladin Albert. By the way, for the Death Dragon waiting behind, there was absolutely no need to move it. It seemed that they thought it was useless even if they challenged it many times. I feel like I want to get more information, even though that might not be a problem. Anyway, it will finally arrive.

With such a feeling, the curtains closed at the current riot.
