Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 198: Devils vs Angels

As I observed the battle between Milim and the Silver Hair Angel from the sky, I began to think that something was amiss. The Silver Haired Angel must have used Castle Justice King Michael 』" Castle Guard ". Believing that he will not be affected, he directs Milim's attack inside causing damage to the environment. This is of course a big deal. But regardless, visually, the damage inflicted seems to be less than expected. (Hey, if Milim took out a Full Power Attack, wouldn't there be more damage than we see now?) 《Afirmative. If it was a "real" attack by Milim ・ Nava, he would have reduced his palace to ashes in an instant. From the predicted possibilities, the damage may have been reduced from the "Castle Guard" effect". Alternatively, Milim ・ Nava still maintains his sanity, and controls the outcome. 》 Fumu's. So it is. Although he was emitting waves of anger sufficient to cause the atmosphere to tremble, there was no sign that he would unleash an ultra-high attack. Only the castle tower was blown by the wind at the start of the battle. It would be best to assume he still had not lost his sanity, and suppress his anger. That is why, the dominance ability of 『Justice King Michael』 has not been activated. If Milim really lost his sanity because of his anger, he would soon be dominated.

「Diablo!」 「Ha! I am here 」From my call, Diablo appeared behind me, ready to respond. Kneeling behind him, were the 3 remaining demon lords. 「Diablo. You guys, go and get rid of the other 4 angels. Once that's done, go beat Vega. Even though I sent Gobuta, he was the only one who was a bit worried. Also, one of you will remain and be my supporter. 」「 Understood. We will be done soon, and move to support Rimuru-sama! Representative Representative Diablo replied, Testarossa and co. also nodded in unison. Even though those angels are on par with awakened demon lords, those demons are more battle-oriented among the followers of my guardian class. It would be fine to hand this over to them. They are even in numbers, and Diablo also exists. I believe they will succeed. 「I'll hand it over to you guys then!」 After saying so, I started flying towards Milim. As for who was left behind, they seem to have already started arguing about who would be my supporter, luckily I did not see this. Whoever wins, it really doesn't matter.

Among the extant, a winner emerges from their "peaceful" discussion. Diablo showed a polite smile, as he stared at the others. Hmh! And the like could be heard from the others, but the three of them did not protest openly. 「Kufufufufu. As expected, all of this went smoothly thanks to your wisdom. 」

Diablo smiled very satisfied. Then, with a glance, he turned his attention to the 4 angels uninterestedly. Velda's accomplices, 4 of the "Final Stroke". They are known as the Executioners (7 Archangels of the Crucifixion), and are the combat team responsible for close combat. This time, they were sent under the direct command of Lucia. As long as he had the "Castle Guard", Lucia's safety was assured. They are all around as a form of insurance. But, their main goal, is to become Lucia's "sword. The Ultimate Skill 『Justice King Michael』 has almost no means to attack directly. In other words, the executioner must be Lucia's hand and foot, a weapon for the purpose of destroying the enemy. Michael's will, which is now Lucia's ego, chooses them for this purpose.

Toruneoto, who used a Warhammer inspired by the element of lightning, was a large muscular man.

Aria, who used the fire-inspired Great Axe, had the appearance of a small-framed girl. Oruca, who uses the water-inspired Trident, is a beautiful woman with a slim and modest body.

Priscilla, who uses Nine Tails. Items filled with wind element. Is average in build and height, has a great that stands out. Although his half-closed eyes left an impression, he let out an "androgynous" air". [1]

The four of them, calm and calm even when Diablo and co. suddenly appeared . What was shown, was the belief of the absolute strongest being. Their pride, as beings who have attained the power of the highest class, the Seraphims. Satan and angels measured each other, and quietly looked at each other.

「Fumu. We don't have time for games. Let's end this quickly. 」The first to speak, is Diablo. Testa, Ul and Carrera agree.

「Ending this quickly, you say? Don't make me laugh at the weak devil. There is no way you demons who have limited evolution, can reach us Seraphims, the highest of the angels. For those of us who have been granted the strength of the Seraphims of Velda-sama, we are the strongest existence, far superior to the mass production forces. We easily beat you. Although it seems like you guys are already a demon king class, in the end your evolution is still incomplete. You should not let your arrogance get to your head just because you have been upgraded to a Demon King from the Demon Bow! 」

Toruneoto. In his words, Diablo felt that something was wrong. Did the opposing boss Velda, not know that they had reached the Demon King class? It would be a joke, if that was the case. If it was their master Rimuru, he would identify them in one glance. Except that . . . . (Information has not been shared between them, that is what seems to be happening. Because of his absolute trust in himself, he was weak in doing trivial things like sharing information. A strong ego, yes. At that point, Rimuru-sama has his base covered. As expected. Kufufufufu ――) Diablo was really excited, when he thought of their master, who was meticulously working to build a network to spread and share information, no matter the type of information. As his mood improved, Diablo's eyes turned "softly", towards the fools in front of him.

「Hei, Diablo. Why are you so happy? Aren't we just hated by the other party. . . . ? 」(Ultima)「 Kufufu. It's because of things like that, that you still have a way to go. Even from the words of that stupid creature, we can pick points that show how great our master is. 」「 Uh? 」「 Ufufufu. That's right, as expected, you seem to have also noticed, Diablo. 」「 Of course, Testarossa. I'll leave those creatures in your merciful hands. If I do, I will cause them to suffer. . . . You will be able to clean it without such pain. 」「 Ara, are you sure about that? 」「 Wait a minute! I still don't really understand what you guys are talking about !? 」「. . . . What this means, is that Diablo said he'd let us take his share. 」

Testarossa was very friendly, starting to explain to Ultima. About how their master the Great Demon King Rimuru, placed great trust in his subordinates. After listening to her explanation, Ultima's eyes sparkled and exclaimed loudly, 「So so !! So what you're saying, is that Rimuru-sama is much more "class" than they are! 」Testa nodded in satisfaction. Although he also noticed that Ultima's understanding was slightly wrong, it had not been a problem until now. As he had reaffirmed the greatness of his master the Great Demon King Rimuru, it was satisfying for now. "Hold it!! Is this the bullshit you guys are spouting! Haan? You pathetic demon, do what for us highest class angels? Cleanse us without suffering? Don't make me laugh! 」

Due to the insulting words from the demon, Aria shouted when she was really angry. He coated his Great Axe, a weapon that seemed to be incompatible with his tiny body, and took a position while holding it. With anger flaming in his eyes, while his hair stood on end. 「It's mockery. Easy, Aria. 」

Oruca's slender beauty, cuts at Aria while she stares at the devil with her cold eyes. But, the Trident he was holding had aqua-colored waves that swirled intensely from within. Although his mind was calm, on the inside he was also very angry. 「Ufufufu. It seems that the punishment for some brat is required of the big brother here. 」

Priscilla stated with a smile. Although it was not planned specifically, the devil's one-sided words had managed to anger Priscilla as well. Seeing that his comrades were also angry, Toruneoto took a step and took a step forward. Lightning raged all over her body, showing her anger for him.

「Wait a minute. I just have the best idea. You want to hear it, don't you? 」

In front of the angry angels, was Carrera who spoke without caring about the mood. 「To be frank, I have absolutely no interest in you guys. There's a fool named Vega running amok on that side, I have business with him. So, I'll continue you guys as well. 」Speaking as if this has already been accepted, is Carrera's suggestion. For what Carrera proposes, the,

「Ara? Are you sure about that, Carrera? 」(Testa)「 Uh !? Then, does that mean we each get two em? 」(Ultima) Did jolly response from Testa and Ul. Different from that, though,

「Don't underestimate us, lowly demon shit !!」 「Kill. Imma must have killed you all !! 」「 Fumu, there seems to be no other option. I've got to carve the painful truth into your body. 」「 It was earlier, it made big brother all excited. 」The Executioner members, all painted red in anger. Even among the heavenly forces, they were considered the most powerful existences, as members of the "End Envoy", and part of the battle that specialized in executing Executives. To be looked down upon to this level, was unexpected for them. Even in their previous lives as members under Yuuki's direct command, they were already the most capable members. Although they were not part of a rank battle in the empire, they had the confidence to be able to fight against the Royal Knights. After reaching the power of the Seraphim now, each of them had awakened with the Highest Skill of 『Master Weapon [2]』, and were convinced that no creature walking on the ground could be a worthy enemy. The weapons they each used, were a testament to their abilities. Weapons that were said to be more powerful than God-class weapons that existed physically. With that pride on the line, they had no intention of giving money to the demons

「We give to all of you, death. That, is the wish of our creator, Velda-sama !! 」Together with the battle cry of Toruneoto, all the other members moved in unison. With guns in hand, they took a stand. On the other hand, the devil. . . . 「Awwright, Axe and Spear for me!」 「Ara, that's so. Well, I don't really care about them. 」As if a child is choosing toys for fun, Ultima voices who she wants to face. He was fine as long as he made someone to fight, was Testarossa's reaction. Despite their attitude that angered the angel side, this was simply the norm for the demons. 「Kufufufufu. Well, if you're really in trouble, make a call for help. You poor girls won't be left behind. 」「 Like that ever happened! 」「 Hmm, correct. Looks like there's a real need to get things done with you one day, Diablo. 」After a short exchange, Diablo departed for Rimuru without looking back. As for Carrera, though,

「Kay, then, I'll move too. No need to leave your part, right? 」「 Yes. We'll be satisfied with these friends here. 」(Testa)「 Un! Carrera, if you're not in a hurry, Gobuta will finally get all the best things you know? 」(Ultima)「 I'm pretty worried about that too. No matter what is said and done, you cannot underestimate the man. 」

For that reason, Carrera immediately left the current area. Similar to Diablo, he did not worry about his comrades at all. As the ruling class of Devils, he had complete confidence that victory would not escape them.

And thus–

Testarossa vs Toruneoto & PriscillaUltima vs Aria & Oruca

These two battles began.

………

……

…

The winner is decided almost instantly. Letting his anger push him, Toruneoto unleashed his most powerful attack 『Driver Bomber』. But, that location is already under Ultimate Skill Testarossa 『 Hell King Belial』 region. Living life and death, a Death Blade appears in Testarossa's hands, and Toruneoto is split in two. The 『Bomber』 driver attack from War Hammer that was swung down, was captured by Testa's left hand, and turned into a glowing wisp of energy. But, Testa gripped the wisp of energy without any problem, and mixed in some of his own Magic. Towards the disheveled remains of Toruneoto,

「You can have this back. 」He threw that energy, which had turned into Super Hot Plasma, with those parting words. Flash light, compression, crushing. Toruneoto perished, with almost nothing left of his former body. Having lost his window to attack when Priscilla's time was off, he was shocked by what happened.

「H-hiii !!」 He screamed unintentionally. Not likely. What just happened should not have been possible. The total Energy Levels of both parties, although their Magic and Spiritual Strengths had different properties, should be at the same level. Despite that fact, the glaring difference in their battle prowess, only seemed completely unreasonable. If there is a slight difference in the total energy level, the party with the higher evolution should have the upper hand. Plus, they fought 2 to 1 in support of them, the thoughts of defeat never crossed their minds. Priscilla's judgment of the situation was reversed instantly. In a very powerful look by the woman in front of him. 「Ara, what's up? Come to me too. I'll be your "soft" opponent. 」The devil named Testarossa, slowly walked towards Priscilla, with a smile on his face. 「H-stop! Don't come any closer !! Brother here apologizes. I'm sorry is okay?! 」「 Ara? Didn't you say something about punishment for evil children? 」「 I'm sorry, it's inappropriate for me !! Big brother here, the more advanced !! [3] 」

When Priscilla became frenzied, she sobbed and screamed. His fighting spirit shattered at low speed. The calm mind of a person stopped before a monster of unimaginable proportions. Toruneoto is a reliable friend. He would be the one standing on the front line, giving his allies the support of a tough shield, no matter what type of battle he was in. Even he, who was already very reliable, attained the "power of Angels", and was said to be incomparable with himself in the past. . . . Priscilla herself was not stooped and showed pride as a capable person, but even she herself realized that she was unable to match Toruneoto, even if she struggled with everything she had. Toruneoto's powerful friend, killed instaally without proper revenge, was right in front of him; it was no wonder Priscilla would fall into a state of panic. 「Ara. This makes it look like I'm bluffing you, isn't it. Now, I promise to settle you all without suffering, right? It's okay to be more convinced. 」At that time, Priscilla could be considered lucky, as Testarossa was in a very good mood.

「Please forgive me !! I promise not to defy your greatness anymore! If you let me go, I will give you anything, anything other than my life !! 」

She looked down on Priscilla, who was truly begging for her life, drowned by her own fears; and made her decision. 「Then, I'll take it. "Your "Power of Angels" is. I'll let you go, in return for that. The emotions of your fear, too, are delicious. 」

Very rarely, Testarossa let Priscilla go, as he himself said. What was shown, was that he did not dirty his own hands, and no matter what happened to Priscilla after this. (Seraphim power, this might be useful for Rimuru-sama.) After deciding that way, he deprived Priscilla of her "power of Angels" - and let her. What was unexpected for Testa, was that he finally obtained the Ultimate Skill of 『Master Weapon』, which was supposed to be part of the "power of Angels". The skill was then unified into 『Hell King Belial』, and became the basis for him to realize the "Whip of Death". For Testarossa, who thought of himself as "Queen", this weapon was a perfect fit for him. Thus, the battle, Testarossa vs Toruneoto & Priscilla, ended.

Priscilla inadvertently crawled away, and left the battlefield. At that time, what was unfavorable for Priscilla, was her choice to meet Vega. Now that he had lost his strength, he had decided on an action that could give him protection. Saddened, Vega gave her attention to her battle, and checking who was her ally or enemy was her lowest priority. The result, however, was that Priscilla was eventually preyed upon by Vega and perished, but that was something unrelated to the actions of Testarossa.

Similarly to Ultima, his battle ended quickly and easily. Using one hand to fend off Aria's flame, Great Axe, he stabbed Aria with a Bloody Bite. The attack itself was fatal, and Aria perished. Oruca, who was surprised by what happened, lost sight of Ultima for a moment, and then suddenly from behind her, 「Dan, finished !!」

That's what he heard. At the same time, he felt a burning pain in his chest, (What-? Eh !? When is she ...!?) And that, was Oruca's last thought. The two of them, slaughtered by the little girl Ultima, could not even retaliate. Since there was no conversation at all, he finished even faster than Testarossa. For 2 of those killed, dying without feeling any pain or fear can be said to be the only silver lining, if you can call it one. Ultima accidentally ends up doing what Diablo wants. The Battle of Ultima vs. Aria & Oruca ended as soon as it began.

A few moments later. 「Yes know, those comrades, aren't they too weak despite their energy levels?」 「You're right. But, all of this was expected by Rimuru-sama. Just by having power, it means nothing at all. We just experienced it ourselves. The thought that Angels will become more adept at remembering time, will likely be true. . . . . But, how long it takes, is another matter. ""I know! The difference between us and them cannot be bridged easily, as we lived a very long time and got a lot of experience! 」

That's the conversation between the two. As predicted by Ciel, angels begin their growth after gaining their lost ego. However, it is expected, real growth in a short period of time is unlikely. Even if they gain a level of ego like a human, there will always be a limit to the individual soul. Plus, the level of experience, almost always pale in comparison to demons. An ordinary human soul, would never be able to bring out the true power of an angel, let alone the supreme Seraphim. If it were at least a Saint, who had gained quite a lot of experience from being a human, then things would be different. . . .

Thus, the demon battle ended, Testa and Ul then began to move towards the next goal of defeating Vega.
