Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 169: Guy Crimson

The Victory Ceremony ended unhindered.

There are some that have evolved in unexpected ways, and others whose evolution is delayed, but none that go berserk.

All in all, success I say.

But we don't have time to relax. Anyway, we're still at war.

The forces that attacked Tempest were all taken care of, but there were still Planes coming from the north by sea ―― or rather, the ―― air route.

I've contacted Ruminas and Hinata.

"Hmph! I'm just gonna turn the table on them! "

Ruminas has stated.

I don't think that he's going to go into that much trouble just for humans.

But the Council and the Holy City of Ruberius are in a cooperative agreement with us.

The northwestern army was stationed around Ruberius acting on the interception force of the Western Nations.

In other words, Ruberius, who was on the west bank, was the best place to put that army.

In addition, many Holy Knights were deployed by the Religious HQ, and Ruberius also had his own army.

Hinata, who was the chairman of the Committee, and Ruminas did not show much hostility to each other, and in fact, the latter might help in earnest.

Well, it's enough just to be cooperative.

Ruminas may only want to help Hinata, but the reason is not important.

After contacting Hinata, I sent the reserve troops, who had come as reinforcements back, to Ingracia.

If they are retained as soldiers in Tempest, the cost of food and lodging will bury our funds.

They will soon be deployed to Ruberius due to support in the Ruminas case in an emergency.

Tempest has become a point of convergence between the activities of the Council and the Committee, so that other countries are busy preparing.

Before long, the majority of travelers would also flow through Tempest, but currently, Ingracia holds that role.

But of those who travel independently, many take the opportunity to get through Tempest.

About a third of the soldiers and adventurers, rather than returning to Ingracia, had chosen to stay overnight in Brumund's kingdom and surrounding towns to see how things would turn out.

They could not move to Tempest because not many trade routes had been established, but they hoped the country would become a cultural and economic center in less than 2 years.

They are wise to observe the situation.

For this reason, only troops from other countries were sent to Ingracia, as they would be deployed as reinforcements to the northwestern forces when the time came.

In fact, if we could expect 300 Aircraft to come with complete equipment, that would mean about 100,000 soldiers.

Considering logistics, filling it to maximum capacity is impossible.

Consulting with Calgurio, Airplane ―― or more precisely Airships, he insisted each can carry 400 troops.

A minimum of 50 Mage is required for a ship to operate.

The Beast Corps' transport was handed over to an individual named Major General Xam'd.

“Most likely, the rest of the members of the Air Combat Legion are most likely scientists.

Most of the elite Magicians were deployed in the Invasion Force in hopes of overthrowing Veldora-dono.

Therefore, including a few extras, the ship should have around 100 Magicians each.

30,000 for operations, 30,000 Beast Troops, and 30,000 Beasts.

In total, 90,000 is the likely number of troops approaching.

Also, Xam'd won't put scientists on the front line. ”

That's what Calgurio predicted.

Their plan was a simultaneous invasion, and the Airships were already deployed, so they were in charge of themselves.

Well, that prediction may be true.

If the others were scientists, they would not help the offensive even though they were brought together.

And there will probably be a number of artisans.

100,000 would be a piece of cake, Ruminas boasted.

300 Holy Knights, and 400 Blood Ruminas Knights.

The Blood Knights were the strongest of the Vampire Knights who were all A-ranked; they were the Elite Knight troops.

However, since they were the Knight class, the lowest of the Aristocratic class, their strength was on par with those of the Holy Knights ……

Vampires, similar to Devils, gained a higher level of power with the rise of the Aristocratic class.

High nobles are said to possess strength comparable to an entire army, they usually never come in large numbers.

Having 700 troops breaking through the ceiling of power known as rank A, by itself, was a great combat power.

Furthermore, there was the Ruminas protege: 'Seven Heavenly Sages'.

It seemed that this was a human Paladin that had evolved.

They were not Vampires, but their life span greatly increased making them for the sake of Spirit Form.

The paladins were built in the Holy City of Ruberius, and were later deployed in battle by the Church of Western Saints.

After overcoming many life-threatening situations, one of them will thrive on rare occasions.

As humans evolved, they became Sages.

Heroes were another thing, but Sages would gain power on par with Arc Demons.

The highest class of Aristocratic Vampires possessed combat power comparable to that of an old Demon King, and Ruminas also had a decent amount.

With these 7 of the High Noble below him, if Ruminas were to become serious, he could easily handle this fight.

Well, just in case, I opened the transfer gate and sent him the Holy Knights, led by Arnaud, who lived in Tempest, as supporters.

To date, Arnaud has been training with Albert, and has been killed many times by Apito without losing heart.

He had gone to take Apito's abuse again and again, so much so that people would worry if he went and developed a strange fetish ……

But thanks to that, couldn't he rise to that 'Sage' thing right now?

His swordsmanship was already good enough to defend against the Arc Demons, rising would bring him to the level of Albert's strength.

By the way, like for Albert himself.

He had died a martyr while on the edge of the Sage-hood; but being a Death Paladin, he gained terrifying strength.

His methods were different, but basically, he gained strength comparable to a Sage.

Moreover, his magic power had been growing for over a thousand years.

Together with Adalman, and under the influence of the Holy-Demonic Reversal, they could rise from Sage to Saint-class and reach Sacred Power.

Albert had let Arnaud peek into the path of true mastery, and was clearly better than the latter in swordsmanship.

His training over thousands of years has resulted in extreme specialization in the single art.

Like that, I received a confident reply from Ruminas, and did not worry too much about the support issue.

And with that out of the way, the Victory Ceremony is performed under a clear conscience.

The other side is not finished yet, and here we relax, but there is no need to think about 'how would it have been'.

Even in terms of time, we had plenty of free time; but anyway, the Ascension Ritual all ended successfully.

Now, it is time for each of them to work to truly gain their new strength.

“Kuhahahaha! I'm glad it went well. I'm going back to the control room now. ”

"Yes I'm also ~!"

Veldora and Ramiris returned to the control room with cheerful faces.

Hey, that's the place we used to be during the war, and not the playroom, you know?

It's true that we're at war right now, but these people just want to mess around with the Big Screen to find a place they want to play.

Low-cost spying magic, and constantly activated.

It wasn't much of a problem, so I made it so anyone could easily use it.

Although it does not show every part of the world, it has enough range.

Both of them had recently enjoyed the scenery from different parts of the world using this magic.

After the war is over, let's have fun! It is what I said before, that triggers this behavior.

They carefully researched what places to visit beforehand.

A good comparison is, as if doing a field survey before traveling?

Both of them have lived for so long, yet have not really experienced the world. They were waiting for it more than me.

Well, they're having fun, so everything's fine.

"Good . I'll join you guys later. ”

I said when I saw them leave.

Gosh, I think I should guide their research properly.

That's because I feel responsible as their guardian.

I'm not the one who wants to have fun either.

Veldora and Ramiris returned to the Labyrinth, and the Executives also returned after greeting.

Some of them are still desperately trying to control the power gained from evolution, and I ask them not to rush when I see it.

Those in charge of domestic affairs such as the Rigrudo or Myourmiles begin the purge. I am very grateful.

Myourmille even manages the affairs of all ambassadors visiting from other countries.

And he didn't forget to tell us about our annual event plans, or about the special products of the Labyrinth.

He was a really worthwhile investment, and has now become an indispensable person for us.

When I gave them my words of appreciation, they all smiled widely.

But then it happened.

Wisdom Lord Raphael issued an emergency warning.

I hurriedly prepared a force field to protect everyone here.

Raphael's presence detection range is about 20 km.

To arrive just 3 seconds after being detected means that it is happening at an unthinkable speed.

It came at over Mach 20, and it was impossible to warn anyone verbally.

Now is not the time to be impressed with the crazy pace.

Just as I made Absolute Barrier with Covenant King Uriel, a single man went down following the shockwave.

The arena stone floor, which was 10,000 times stronger than concrete, now had a huge wound on it.

What man? The destruction was not caused by any Skills or techniques; it was only from the clash with his body.

For Demon Dukes, it was possible to disregard the laws of physics and travel at super sonic speed without causing shock waves but ……

This person entered without using any legal manipulation just because it was complicated.

Not many people can do something crazy like this.

Three as far as I know.

Veldora, Milim, and Demon Lord Guy Crimson.

Veldora is out.

And Milim was also careful in his own way when he came.

I realized this later, but even the first time he came, he had tried his best to be careful.

If Milim flew at his full strength, it would be enough to blow away the weak monsters.

He may seem like a tyrant, but he has a good side.

Well, now that Milim is also out, we go with the last option.

Sure enough, when the dust had settled, there stood the Demon King with fiery red hair.

Satan Lord Guy '' ''Crimson.

A ruler in this world might be stronger than me.

The scene was submerged in tension, and civilians such as Rigrudo and Myourmiles were evacuated by Souei's Shadows.

What's wrong with this guy?

I don't want to fight now, okay?

“Yo, long time ago, Rimuru. By the way, what do you think you're doing? ”

"What am I doing? What are you doing!?"

What can I say, Guy was just talking casually.

He suddenly came for no reason that I knew.

"mm? I see, you are the type of person who cares about their subordinates.

Well, sorry about that. And ―― Napalm Burst! ”

When he said a few words of apology, Guy suddenly fired a Heat Explosion-type magic.

The Infernal Flame swelled into the shape of a dragon and swerved towards the people who were approaching Guy from behind him.

Testarossa, Ultima, and Carrera.

The dragon split into three, and ensnared the girls.

Incredibly, Demon Dukes who had a strong resistance to magic could not defend against Guy's attacks.

Feeding through several layers of Magic Barriers, the Infernal Dragons inflicted decisive damage on the three of them.

Although I myself can do it too, casting this powerful magic without any spell somehow does not match me.

“Awawa. That's unsurprising.

The last attack didn't kill them means, they were Devil Dukes?

Are there still more of them in the Underworld, or have they evolved here?

Well, it's okay.

Demon Dukes were stronger than Demon Lords who had yet to rise.

But the Awakened Demon King was present, I sensed it just a moment ago, what's up with it? ”

Ignoring the three, who were lying on the ground for failing to defend against his magic, Guy spoke.

Are you kidding me? He felt a resurgence from that distance?

That's what I think of when,

“Solution. If connected to the Voice of the World, the resurrection of the example can be felt from any location. ”

I was convinced by Lord Raphael-san's Wise words.

So it also means that when one reaches the Ultimate Skill ……

“Solution. That's possible. However, sensing might not be possible when possessing some Ultimate Skill. ”

I saw .

I easily felt it when Yuuki got it, so that was the reason.

I kind of want to be told about these kinds of things, but it seems Lord Raphael's Wisdom policy only answers when asked.

Ruminas also seems to have Ultimate.

However, the type of power could not be determined without gathering information about it or seeing it directly.

I thought that Guy somehow found out about my Main Skills, but hiding them was actually impossible.

So if there was an existing Ultimate Skill, the new one would not be detected.

Which means, Guy hasn't realized that I have some Ultimat?

“Solution. There's no reason to worry. The greed of King Beelzebub had been removed as the only one, and the rest was hidden. ”

As expected of Sensei.

If we leave it to him, even Guy can be easily fooled.

Although I still can't relax thinking he doesn't know.

His previous talks with Raphael only lasted for a moment, and it was time to think about handling Guy.

The three who had attacked had sensed his dangerous level of strength, quickly moving to eliminate the enemy.

Indeed, he had an abnormal amount of high density magic, and the arena had also been damaged.

Considering that he is not known for his fighting and relationship skills, the choice to strike pre-emptively is not always unwise.

They might think of me, and attack mercilessly.

However, their enemies were a bad fight.

The sudden attack of the three Demon Dukes, not even approaching the level became a problem for Guy, the strongest Demon Lord.

If it was me, I might have made it.

Besides, it's a matter of magic.

What do you have to do to cause magic damage to the Demon Dukes?

“Solution. That is the Overlapping Effect. It seemed that he overlapped the effects of a Main Skill with magic. ”

Is that possible? It should be possible.

Anyway, I saw the results with my own eyes.

If possible, I would like to try it.

Leaving that matter to Raphael-san, I should focus on answering Guys questions.

"What the hell is going on? Well, even if you say it ……

The three of them feel you are in danger and attack, please forgive them.

But, suddenly appearing like this, you were also to blame?

I'll ignore the broken floor, so no hard feelings alright? "

"mm? Ah, yes sorry about that.

I can teleport to a place I've been, and it's been a long time since I flew.

Put too much power in, and can't stop. My fault!

I don't really care about the three, so don't worry.

The devil cannot help but fight.

Instead, I want you to explain who went up there okay? ”

I can work comfortably with that.

Anyway, I have avoided starting a war with Guy.

Or rather, I'm really happy, he didn't come to destroy me or something.

Diablo already sensed that Guy had no enmity, but the Devil Dukes still needed to deal with it.

We have no option for immediate elimination with everyone. Now that they're in Diablo's care, they've probably been sitting in his bad college.

And it's good that most of the other people can't move from the pressure, or are in the Labyrinth undergoing their evolution.

It would be annoying, if many of them wanted to fight as well.

That being said, Shion who was always looking for a fight, was now close to me watching Guy.

He had understood the difference in strength, and decided to at least act as a shield for me.

It was truly shocking; he had truly matured.

By the way, Guy doesn't seem to have any overt hostility, so everyone should be more relaxed.

With that in mind, I went to guide Guy to the guest room.
