Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 177: The Sword of Tempest

I managed to free Veldora.

But the danger still looms.

Basically, this was the "Dragon Scorched" Velgrynd, the Emperor, and finally, the man in the army uniform who had shot Veldora.

There are several others that can also be placed under the "danger" label, and I want to get rid of them all at once.

But really, aside from those first three, the others didn't feel like "dangers" at all.

My body, having transformed into a "True Dragon" with its Energy reaching the highest heights, once again drastically surpassed the strength in quality and quantity.

So much so that, right now, I might be able to punch Milim or Guy.

But, I must not be arrogant, or something bad can happen; really, negligence is a sin.

I will finish them all off, leaving not a drop of blood.

That being said, Black Numbers had already done quite a lot on them, and it seemed like only the strongest were left.

Well, as long as there are no fatalities ……

Did they follow my orders not to die?

I'll worry about that later.

Because there was an angry Velgrynd approaching as we spoke.

First, I thought I should let Veldora out using the Storm Dragon Release.

My energy is not always at full capacity as possible because, I let Veldora roam freely.

But as the power of Veldora overflowed into me, the circulation had caused a revitalizing effect on my body.

Before reaching the nature of "True Dragon", I have used most of the energy to maintain the release of Veldora―― but it does not cause discomfort and also felt nothing from it ―― but now, it is not, I only need to allocate about 30% of my energy for maintenance.

Well, there was no problem using large-scale magic even so, so I didn't think too deeply about it.

Thinking that, when I was going to do the Storm Dragon Release,

(Wait. I ask Master of Wisdom to improve my Skills.)

《Warning. It is currently in the process of synchronizing Master and individual: the capabilities of Veldora.

Currently involved in the development of 『Investigation King Faust』 to 『Chaos Lord Nyarlathotep』.

Please suspend the use of Storm Dragon Release until it is completed. 》

They both stopped me.

Apparently that was Veldora's request.

He didn't tell me, so that must be the case.

I'd like to tell them to do it another time, but it's probably something that can't be done after it's released.

I guess it couldn't help, and it will be harder to do later, but then, he said,

《Solution. From individual analysis: Veldora's Skill, ability to develop Ultimate Skill 『Storm King Veldora』 confirmed.

As a result, Major Skills 『Treaty of King Uriel』 will be erased.

Do you want to synthesize Ultimate Skill 『Stellar-Wind Lord Hastur』? YES NO "

Wisdom Lord Raphael told me almost as an additional note.

This good master ... Raphael-san did not mean to slow down at all.

To think of reconstructing a mid-fight Skill, how relaxed was he?

As if “Scorch Dragon” Velgrynd was no problem at all.

For now, it's NOT.

Really, I still have the Glory of King Belzebuth, but that doesn't mean we should let us down.

Instead, to fight the "True Dragon" with just Belzebuth?

Aren't you overestimating me too much? I keep thinking.

After this battle, along with my subordinates obtaining their Demon Lord ascension, I guess I will also undergo a massive Skill refinement.

What I'm going to be, I decided to think about it later.

Well, what to do about this "Dragon Scorched.

The quality and quantity of my Energy has increased, and so has my strength.

I was thinking of testing this power, and wanted to plunge into battle, but since Wisdom Lord Raphael was in the process of refining the Veldora Skill, close combat seemed to be a bad idea.

I guess it's not too bad to fight head-on, but getting damage on top of using Energy for an attack can make things troublesome.

I don't want any strange effects of the damage.

Therefore, I want to keep my distance, and resolve this with a long-range attack.

This is a strategy, not a coward.

If I can win easily, I don't have to hesitate and just do it.

Even though I said that, I don't have many long-range attack options.

The Severance Series ability of the Covenant King Uriel was extremely powerful, but its effective range was rather small.

It was a terrifying power like Dimension Severance, so obviously it was limited to a certain range.

So it's gone, Magic?

Among the Nuclear Magics, there was one emission type attack that was more suitable for long-range combat.

"Nuclear Cannon", a type of laser cannon.

It was relatively easy to control, so the human Great Mage seemed to prefer it.

In other words, it was the easiest to control Nuclear Magics.

In addition, the cost performance is also quite good. Right now, my mana recovery rate is higher than the cost of using it, so I can fire everything I want without worrying about depletion.

That catch, would definitely have no effect on Velgrynd.

It's an emission attack that uses concentrated mana particles, but in the end, it's a heat-based attack.

Against Velgrynd, who ruled "Heat", it would be futile. Even if it overlapped with the effects of an Ultimate Skill, he might be able to easily reject it.

It was the most powerful of the Emission-type attacks, but it was useless if there was no effect.

Really, what to do ……

Suddenly it came to me.

There is a new ability added to "Storm King Veldora".

Reconstructed from the "Storm Blast", it is an ability called "Storm Lightning".

Right now, it is actually the strongest ranged attack I have.

This might only work on Velgrynd from a distance.

I want to try this "Thunder Storm" soon but ――

―― I happened to notice another thing I should try.

Bladed Storm: Crystallization, Turned into Blade Blade ……?

It's been really bothering me for a while now, what is this thing?

That said, I can't let my guard down at Raphael-san.

What should you do in this world, to develop this extremely powerful Storm King Veldora into a Stellar-Wind Lord Hastur; I have no Ideas at all.

It seems that it will integrate with the King Uriel Covenant, but what about its usefulness?

Well whatever.

The Bladed Storm did look attractive, but it did not seem like it was a ranged power.

I will ignore it for now. I didn't even know what I was supposed to crystallize from the start.

《Solution. Possible attack with "Bladed Storm".

Condensing the full spirit power of the Storm King Veldora, it was possible to launch a burst of Vector Energy.

Unlike the Storm Dragon Release, which was held back to reconnect the Soul Corridor, it was possible to use this at the moment. 》

So crystallization means, the power from releasing Veldora, directly injected into the sword?

Which means this sword represents all the power of Veldora ……

《Solution. That conclusion can be considered correct. 》

Fine .

It was probably like Veldora and I were attacking at once, so it was the most powerful attack I had right now.

Since I decided not to relax, I will.

I timidly tried to do Bladed Storm.

《Warning. Individual: Veldora approval affirmed. Initialization Crystallization. 》

Just then, my sword hilt crystallized with a purple light.

It seems that the sword has become part of my body.

As expected, my Energy level dropped by 30%.

As I thought, it wasn't Summoning, but Liberation that cost 30%.

And crystallization seems to cause the same effect.

In other words, this sword was like a manifestation of all Veldora Energy.

Along with Bladed Storm, as if in time, Velgrynd started moving.

It was a good time, so as a small test, I made a swing at Velgrynd.

Well, it's more of a thoughtless wrist movement.

And seeing that move, Velgrynd tried to dodge.

It seemed like a normal reaction to him.

Or perhaps, it was his instinct that did the job.

But as a result, that act of avoidance saved his life.

That single swing of the sword had pierced through the sky, and split the ocean.

Literally.

The deadly shockwave bore no resemblance to the action of the sword, and cut off Velgrynd's wings in the midst of the embezzlement.

His strength had still not diminished, he divided several Imperial Airships in half along his path.

And it doesn't end there either.

That energy swing even split the ocean.

Divided waters.

I cannot represent what is open below me in other words.

Something like an electric field lining a split ocean, keeps the waters apart.

The energy released seemed to further increase the gap.

What kind of joke is this ……

I think I have a right to think about that.

I didn't mean to do this at all, it was just a simple swing.

Et Voila as a result, I also felt my energy in large quantities being depleted.

《Report. Failure occurs in controlling the "Tempest Sword". Higher energy use than expected. 》

Failure, yes …. "That's not a problem!"

No one cares about the use of energy!

Well, that's certainly not good, but back to the point.

The point is: output.

We really broke the fucking ocean! Damage to the normal environment looks like a joke in comparison ……

Plus, the range was extremely long, and the damage was also unreal.

That's so big, I might need that blacklist.

(Kuahahaha! Badaku, badku. Put too much umph into it.)

So he's the cause ….

I am so glad we are on the water.

If this was in the middle of a city, it was not just a city that disappeared, there was enough power to harm the entire country.

It seems like the control is split between my will and Veldora's, and it seems like the output this time is caused by Veldora.

Does that mean, if I also want to attack, the result will be higher?

That's too scary!

This sword is too dangerous, it feels like a cheat item.

(Hey, that was too much?

Look, even your big brother doesn't seem to understand what just happened, and there's absolutely nothing. )

(Heh, it's okay. If it was my older sister, she wouldn't have died even if she was hit by a direct blow.)

(That's not the point... But enough, I'll control the result from now on.)

(Yes, understand. Doesn't matter!)

Oh my Louise.

If this happens all the time, sooner or later the places will become uninhabited.

Veldora has given the green light as well, having to keep the power off.

「B-! What was that? What the fuck is that !! 」

Velgrynd who returned to his senses, shouted at me, in a mixture of anger and fear.

Really, someone needs to tell me.

But if I have to answer,

「Uh, Veldora Sword?」

I answer that.

With that one attack, it seemed like the battle had been decided.

A single attack that pierced through the sky and split the ocean was enough to crush the spirit of the Empire's soldiers.

The multi-layered resistance was sliced like a hot knife through butter, nor was there any place to get out of the sea.

Even if they managed to move beyond the speed of sound, it was meaningless if they could not outrun the attack.

The hearts of the Imperial soldiers were filled with despair, and that feeling became the most delicious "food source" for the demons.

Then… .

「Not possible, why?

Why, what is the effect of my Regalia Dominion …. "My "Sovereign Rule" is gone?

Why, was Veldora defeated ?!

No way, that's impossible!

It was only a lowly Demon King, a weak slime!

It should have become powerless, after the source of its power, Veldora, was taken….

How, could he eat his master, and take that power for himself !!

I am this close to finally achieving victory against Guy !!

To block my plan …. Unforgivable, you lowly Demon King !! 」(TN: Spaghetti Status: DROPPED)

Emperor Rudra, very angry.

He was so angry that he did not realize what was happening around him.

He was overjoyed when he saw he could finally win against Guy in their never-ending match.

The moment right before victory is when one has to be the most alert.

The cost of forgetting this strict rule, and being so careless, now came back to bite him.

The people who defended the Emperor, had no cards to play to deal with the situation at hand.

Everything happened too fast.

With no way to turn the tide in the current situation, the action was now moving towards the final.

Now for something off-topic, but not completely unrelated.

The cause of 『Bencana』 being a fight between "True Dragons" will be verified by scholars in the future.

But, the real cause is something else.

The appearance of sea monsters in the ocean 『Calamity』, caused by one swing of the Sword of Veldora.

Energy overflowed from the attack, suppressing and getting rid of the seawater.

The phenomenon lasted for quite a long time, which resulted in a dangerous amount of Demon Energy settling into the depths of the ocean.

After that, huge amounts of energy spread throughout the oceans, causing laughable changes to the ecosystem.

Although 『Bencana』 is named “Scorching Tempest”, heavy rain from evaporated seawater cannot cause such an impact on the ecosystem.

In fact, the clash between Veldora and Velgrynd could not cause this much damage.

Of course, the location was obviously very lucky, but it was impossible for the perpetrators to plan ……

The point is, the side effects resulting from that single attack, will be the cause of headaches for future historians; but the truth that happened will never be known to the world.
