Velgrynd prepared himself calmly, while looking at Demon Lord Rimuru.
After successfully dominating Veldora, Rudra was in his own world, rejoicing about his chances of victory in the match against Guy.
But it was that carelessness that caused the current state of affairs. If they were to quickly deal with the situation, there would be no demon army summoned; only then would it be appropriate to think of a battle with Guy.
The current situation is grim.
There were some people among the summoned demons that even Velgrynd would face trouble.
It is very important to resolve this as soon as possible.
Together with Veldora, he would finish off the Demon God before them.
With this decision, Velgrynd quickly took action.
Velgrynd's style was to obey his intuition, instead of thinking too much.
「Rudra, take Veldora fight at full strength! It would be dangerous if we did not eliminate it quickly! 」
「Hmm. Although I don't see much to look out for ……
Fine then . Since you talk a lot, let's start with the leader of these demons. Regalia Dominion !! 」
Velgrynd asks Rudra for Veldora's help in exchange through Telepathy.
Rudra still had not lost his composure, and happily accepted the request to utilize Veldora.
Velgrynd felt a little anxious about how much Rudra did not care. But there didn't seem to be much chance of victory for the Demon King, considering he had chosen to face Veldora and himself.
After all, they were the strongest beings, "True Dragons".
With a rumble, Veldora began to take action.
Velgrynd also roared in an attempt to dispel his own anxiety, and started an attack to destroy the Demon King.
Veldora made the first move, against Rimuru who stated he would take two "True Dragons" at the same time.
The first attack against Rimuru was the full power of the Storm Blast.
《Warning. Storm Blast is coming in.
Spreading 『King Agreement Uriel』 Barrier――》
(Dodging idiots!!)
Rimuru canceled the optimal choice of Wisdom Lord Raphael, and took evasive action by force.
Shortly after, the established defense field was pierced, and the destructive power of the Storm Blast spread out at that point.
It would be a direct blow if the momentary dodging action was slower.
――Calculation miss? An unexpected situation? Cannot count――
《Errors. Calculation shows odds of 100 %――》
(Now is not the time to get out! Veldora has a manipulation of Faust probability.
It has the ability to cut your perfectly calculated scenarios. Or should I say control the outcome? Calculation-based actions will not work against Veldora.
Don't think, feel it! Worry is not right for you!
I'll deal with him, so you deal with Velgrynd!)
"– Below- . I understand . 》
(There are two opponents, but there are also two of us. I'm counting on you, you know?
Wall Velgrynd off with 『Covenant King Uriel』.
Do what needs to be withheld until I can get Veldora back.
Or just close the red friend! I'm counting on you, partner!)
With those words, certain feelings filled the mind-process of Lord Raphael's puzzling.
Depends me?
Even though I was wrong?
Ah… . This guy, he says needs me, I'm the one who only processes power.
That, happiness.
That is a blessing.
It—, the birth of emotions.
Lord Raphael's wisdom is confused at the unprocessable elements that emerge from within.
But, at the same time, feel the satisfaction—
――Ah, I am now, in the midst of eternal happiness―― (EN: ( ⁇ ° ⁇ °))
―― That, which he processes.
There's nothing to be afraid of now.
Despite the current situation, no danger could be felt.
As Rimuru commanded, the Breath of Burning Velgrynd was blocked easily with the Treaty of King Uriel.
《As you command, Milord !!》 (EN: see that? That's an exclamation mark!!)
Lord Raphael's wisdom awakens, and with the thought of answering Rimuru's wishes, results in greater precision.
Velgrynd was annoyed at the fact that his breath attack was blocked like it was nothing.
Since it was an attack on an alert opponent, it was obvious a normal attack would not be enough.
The quality of the opponent's abilities was clearly better even though Velgrynd had more Energy overall.
The opponent has an absolute defense against the heat, this is not funny at all.
As a test, he unleashed dozens of Heat Blasters in continuous attacks.
Even such attacks had no effect, as they all just bounced off the emerging shield.
(Chih! Everything was blocked, as if it was calculated perfectly! Sucks.)
It's not funny at all.
Demon Lord Rimuru did not use a shield against Veldora, but either dodged or resisted the attack with the same attack.
On the other hand, he did not even see Velgrynd, as all of his attacks were fully guarded.
Even if it was possible to realize everything around you with 『Perception』 Magic, Velgrynd was really surprised, as it clearly seemed he was completely ignored.
(I'll make you really regret looking down on me!!)
The arrogant Velgrynd, decided to unleash the most powerful attack in his entire arsenal.
As the engine ignited, Velgrynd began to release a large amount of magic energy.
Main Expertise 『Charity King Raguel』, its power manipulates and accelerates heat.
If the ability to forcibly increase momentum was used on itself, the fastest being in this world would undoubtedly be himself.
If so, what if it was used on something other than itself?
With the body accelerated endlessly, no matter what kind of living thing, the body would not be able to withstand the heat and end up being destroyed due to thermal damage.
"Dead! This will be your end, there will be nothing left! Cardinal Acceleration !! 」
In addition to his Ultimate Skill, with the essence of heat, his acceleration power was added.
Waves of destruction were unleashed towards Rimuru, riding the roar of a crimson dragon.
This is, Velgrynd's ultimate attack.
The surging waves of this ability, easily defeating any form of evasion, it showed Velgrynd's pride as the fastest.
Which means, avoiding it is impossible.
For the Demon King who was focused on repelling the attacking Veldora, he was in no position to defend or dodge.
If he thought this was the same as the previous attack, a number of layers of defense fields would be swallowed whole, and he would die without time for regret.
Velgrynd confirmed the effect of his attack with great confidence.
But, he was stunned when he saw the unharmed Rimuru.
(What! That is impossible !!)
It was an inevitable absolute attack, there should be no one who could survive such an attack without any injuries at all.
Even if it was Demon Lord Guy ・ Crimson or his Sister Elder “Frost Dragon” Velzard.
Unless it was repelled by some sort of ability or attack, it shouldn't be an attack that could be stopped by a defensive field-type ability.
"That's impossible! The attack should have broken through the force field and the defensive ability …. You, what are you doing !! 」
「Hmph-deep. It must be dangerous …. But it's simple to "eat" an attack that's too impulsive, you know? 」
(Well, by the reckoning of Wisdom Lord Raphael, your attack is decoyed.)
In order for Rimuru to focus more on Veldora, Wisdom Lord Raphael was given free power to deal with Velgrynd and instigate all of his attacks.
And, for a seemingly unblocked attack, Rimuru would briefly deal with such an attack.
Using Gluttony King Belzebuth, the effect of the attack would be consumed. Later, isolated.
This previous attack was certainly capable of inflicting fatal damage on Rimuru, an attack that could not be blocked.
All that remains is to analyze the energy that has been isolated in the stomach (storage chamber), and finally neutralize it.
The isolation room ut Stomach 』the work of Gluttony King Belzebuth, has become a twisted space that even has more power than Absolute Defense, now capable of neutralizing any attack.
Also, with Lord Raphael's Wisdom bait about Velgrynd is not over yet.
「Although you were surprised that nothing happened with your best attack, you know we are still in the middle of a battle right?」
By the time he recognized and understood what Rimuru was saying, it was already too late.
《Warning. Analysis of attacks concluded. Energy measurement, complete.
Calculations confirm the possibility to close for a limited time. Activate 『Isolated Prison』! 》
That, was an ability synthesized using the Endless Prison of King Uriel that fused with isolated space.
With the surrounding area under control with Spatial Domination quietly spreading around, Velgrynd was unaware he had been lured into a multi-layered magic formation.
As announced by Wisdom Lord Raphael, the radiant Pr Isolated Prison sh was instantly formed.
Letting the opponent let go of the final move, then aiming for the opportunity right after when the opponent had exhausted their Energy, that was the perfect strategy of Wisdom Lord Raphael.
「Sit's there for a minute! I'll play with you after I release Veldora. 」
Rimuru said as Raphael activated the hidden prison, while he was still dealing with Veldora.
It was a holding technique with the special nature of the opponent taken into account, making a reality with a blend of abilities.
It would be called the Calculation Prison, if it was given a name.
A total victory for Wisdom Lord Raphael.
Rimuru confirmed that Velgrynd was sealed properly, and gave a satisfied nod to Lord Raphael's Wisdom for faithfully completing the goal.
《Warning. 『Isolated Prison』 activation confirmed. The target movement is sealed, for about 3 minutes. 》
(Understand! Now, to exert all our efforts in dealing with Veldora. Give me a hand, Raphael!!)
"As you wish!"
Rimuru, no, the two of them who sealed the "Scorch Dragon" Velgrynd for a while .. now turned their attention to Veldora's "Storm Dragon", their real goal.
To win, within 3 minutes of time was purchased by Raphael.
In order to use this short yet seemingly infinite time as best as he could, Rimuru charged towards Veldora.
As expected of Wisdom Lord Raphael.
To answer my expectations perfectly, no, more than that, in such a short time.
Manage to seal Velgrynd, one of the "True Dragons", even for a few minutes.
Hmph.
I can't lose it now.
Must free Veldora quickly, and take down the Emperor.
I can't let more people be controlled of their own free will, like Chloe.
Then, it quickly destroyed the empire, and cornered Yuuki.
There are a lot of things I have to do, and things to do.
Can't stumble now.
(Sorry to wait, Veldora. The real deal starts now!)
Time to finish this quickly.
During Lord Raphael's Wisdom dealing with Velgrynd, Rimuru found difficulty in doing something decisive against Veldora.
Since the Storm series ability had been abandoned, it was possible to repel Veldora's attacks. But to repel large-scale attacks, it produced similar levels of energy consumption.
It was not a direct source of damage, but stamina was clearly shaved off.
The energy recovery of the Food Chain 』 seems to help a lot, because the evolution of its subordinates has an influence on it.
There weren't many attacks from this side that had an immediate effect.
Gun attacks are useless.
The Storm series ability was useless as well.
It was certain that the Covenant of King Uriel would not help much, so its use was left to the Wisdom of Lord Raphael.
Only Gluttony King Belzebuth is reliable.
It was the highest point of evolution, from the basis of Slime ability 『Predation』.
Now that Gluttony King Belzebuth had been overpowered, it could be activated from any part of Slime Demon's body.
That's right, even with the whole body.
Undecidable.
To not only neutralize Storm's attack with Gluttony King Belzebuth, but to completely devour Veldora.
「Makes me do all this work, Veldora! Stop causing all this trouble, damn it! 」
――Kuahahaha! It was just a small failure. I-i'm sorry! ――
At the time of contact with Veldora, I thought I heard a carefree voice.
(Hey …. You realize there?)
――Yeah Actually, I completely separated my Nucleic Heart, so my ego is completely intact! ――
(Then hurry up and get your body back!)
WouldI would have done it if I could. Oh, watch out, "Black Driver" is coming! ――
The moment he heard Veldora say that, the powerful slicing ability of the "Wind of Death Death" attacked Rimuru.
Frantically evading, Rimuru asks Wisdom Lord Raphael to balance her surroundings.
(Man of hell, that's not what you're saying! What lightning, that wind blade!?)
――Mmm !? Sorry about that . It seems I can only know when a skill will be activated but not identify which skill――
(Understanding …. Stop saying such irresponsible things. Such mistakes can lead to failure.
It wouldn't be a laughing matter if I died after trusting you. )
–Accept . I wish I could help a little bit of the
(Well, it's all pretty good if you're okay.)
――Kuahahaha! Of course I'm fine. My* is * the most powerful dragon right!? –
(Ah, yes. I'm gonna get you out for a second, so wait?)
–No problem . I'm not worried at all. For that, I hit the worst—
(Worst one?)
–Ah . I took a shot of the "curse" that destroyed the magic circuit. So I hurriedly cut off the Soul Corridor. As the effect moves through the magic circuit, it will affect you as well—
(Huh? So it wasn't destroyed by the enemy's abilities?)
――Yeah It is a powerful ability, and since I will not succeed with defense, that is the only way to minimize collateral damage. Because of that, my Resist magic circuit was destroyed and I could not resist the "Domination Effect", which resulted in the current situation! ――
(Stop bragging about that. Oh my God, what are you thinking.
didn't I tell you not to let your guard down every day!?)
――Kuahahaha! Who would have thought I would be defeated by you in this situation! ――
(Well that's enough, what matters is that you're okay. You* okay?)
――Technically, I'm fine. While destroying the Soul Corridor, I protect my Heart which serves as the core. But because of that, I lost all control over my body, and had no way to restore that control—
So that's why.
But as long as the core is intact, we have options available.
(Wisdom Lord Raphael, is it possible to recover the Ultimate Skill 『Storm King Veldora』?)
《Warning. As long as the Nucleic Heart was still intact, rebuilding the Soul Corridor was possible. No problem with Ultimate Skill recovery 『Storm King Veldora』. 》
All right, problem solved.
The remaining task is to defeat Veldora's "body. Everything is good as long as we can recover the point.
(Sit idly. I'll release you soon.)
――Kuahahaha! How can be relied upon. You have my faith, my friend Rimuru! ――
Yes, I will release you quickly.
The problem has been solved.
Direction to get Veldora back confirmed.
All that remains is to actually do it.
All right, let's beat him.
One of the strongest, "Dragon Storm" Veldora !!
