Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 206: Vs Dagruel pt1

Dagruel's forces had reached the Holy Kingdom of Ruberios and were continuing to move through its borders. And they cut down all those who blocked their way and aimed at the Holy Capital with gusto. The Holy Capital was protected by a triple barrier. The essence of large-scale antidote magic blockaded the suburbs. It was a barrier that blocked the accumulation of magic essence to prevent the monster outbreak. However, it was naturally invincible, as in the current situation, there might be an outbreak of rare monsters due to the destruction of the barrier that might come to attack the city. In order to prevent this invasion, an anti-monster defense barrier had been installed, which protected the daily life of the holy capital and its surroundings. As the name suggests, it was meant to prevent the invasion of monsters. It was a barrier with a strong magic essence isolation ability, but it only had an influence at the level of certain monsters and was weaker. It doesn't affect vampires, its real masters. His goal was to protect the citizens of the Holy Capital from the field monsters. The Holy Knights usually patrolled between the first and second barrier. And their work includes finding tears in the barrier and restoring it. It was common knowledge that the Holy Kingdom of Ruberios was protected by a double barrier, but the existence of the third was known only to the high-ranking people of the holy capital. Evil Purification Barrier. It was a protective barrier of the highest level that had protected the Holy Capital for a long time. It was a barrier that could be called a perfect version of the sacred field, a barrier that attacked monsters with the only exception of those registered with identification codes. Everything within the Capital City fortress was within his sphere of influence. It was the largest scale barrier of its level, but it still could not cover the entire range. Even so, it was the strongest barrier, worthy of protecting the Holy Capital. The transfer gate was set up inside the monster invasion prevention barrier and outside the Evil Purification Barrier. The reason for that was because Ruminas did not want the subordinates of the other Demon Lords to act freely in the Holy Capital. That is a reasonable argument, as it is not only inconvenient to assign and register identification codes for individuals, there is no guarantee that they will not be hostile at a later time. Therefore, the Evil Purification Barrier applied to every monster with the only exception being Ruminas subordinates. The effect was applied even to the high ranking monsters in Shion's entourage. Thus, the elite Shion corps that arrived from the transfer gate organized themselves on the outskirts of the living area without entering the Holy Capital. The battlefield was beyond the barrier of monster attack prevention. It was the conference decision the night before. The barrier was ineffective against the angel army of ―― or rather, the anti-monster had no meaning against the angel associated with the holy – monster army led by Shion and Co. fit to oppose Dagruel. The irony is that the Immortal Legion led by Aldaman, which could be considered evil itself, did not receive the effect due to 『Inversion of Sacred-Iblis』. However, it would be a problem if the undead came and went in the Holy Capital like they owned the place, so that was one of the reasons why Aldaman was assigned to the interception force. The Tempest group will involve Dagruel, the Ruminas group will suppress the angels. That's plan. Immediately sensing that Dagruel's forces had destroyed the large-scale magic essence barrier that stretched around the border, Shion informed the entire army. Since preparation was everything, Shion had finished placing his elite corps. The Immortal Legion called Adalman stood at the front in perfect order. With 2. 000 Death Knights as the main force. The remaining Legion composition is as follows: 100. 000 Zombie Soldiers (Carrion Soldiers). 20. 000 Pawn Soldiers (Skeleton Warriors). 10. 000 Pion Archer (Skeleton Archer). 10. 000 Pion Knights (Skeleton Knights). There's a lot of it. They were an army that had been created by Aldaman using corpses collected from the Great Jura Forest. They usually roamed the labyrinth floor, but they were all sorting out this time. 100. 000 Zombie Soldiers were monsters ready for this war. Most of them used to be Imperial soldiers. Deployed inside the labyrinth, the ones whose rotten flesh was neatly taken away were the Pawn Warriors. Among them there might have been an adventurer who had died inside without buying a bracelet, but this was a rare example. In preparation for this Great War, they had collected the corpses that had been emptied by their souls, that was quite a lot. Since it was possible that they might evolve into higher beings if they were able to survive this Great War, they eagerly decided to participate in the war.

Thanks to that, the total number was slightly less than 150. 000. Under Adalman's rule, they received the effect of increasing capability. Moreover, due to 『Inversion Sacred-Iblis』, they will not be affected by the insulating effect of barrier magic essence. Unlike in the labyrinth, they cannot come to life if destroyed. They became terrifying existences, because as the undead who had turned into attributed saint beasts, they would not be affected by Holy Magic. And since they also could not die from normal attacks, the only way to stop their movements was to destroy them completely. And then, Shion's elite corps. 10. 000 Knights of Terror. Like the Death Knights, their strength was equivalent to an "A-rank". And after the previous battle with the Empire, they grew stronger. The true main force at the moment was Shion's elite corps. The only problem was that the commander of the elite corps was the sons of the enemy leader, Devil Dagruel. Shion believes that Dagruel's son will not betray him because they have sworn allegiance to his master, Rimuru. However, even without betrayal, whether they could fight or not was another story. 「Hey you. The enemy is your brother, can you fight them? 」Shion called the three of them and asked them directly. And the three brothers replied as if it was natural, 「Of course, Nee-san! Whether it's our parents, or uncle, we'll beat them! 」「 Yes! We will show you our seriousness! 」「 Fuu ~ fuu fuu! My stomach growls. Stomach His stomach growled ……? For a moment, Shion thought 'What is this person talking about?', yet he ignored her. Oh well, since he's fat, he won't growl. However, Shion never thought that it would materialize in the form of motivation. However, it was troublesome for him for that tsukkomi. It would be fine if those people were okay. The problem might actually be their uncle. 「Dagruel has a younger brother?」 「Yes! Looks like our parents have two. One of them was our old man's aide, but I had never met the other. 」「 They say that he is a dangerous person so it seems like he should be sealed because of that, right? 「「 Oh well, it will be very easy if you entrust the task to us! 」When Debura's third son said so , for some reason Shion became agitated. Oh well, they are his cute subordinates who have become strong enough to match the standards of the former Demon King. He decided to believe in them, and he managed to get rid of his discomfort. For such a Shion, 「However, for an honest person like Dagruel-dono to turn into a traitor. 」Adalman said so while sighing. When he set up the transfer magic formation, Dagruel was quite cooperative, and he got along well with Adalman who also had an honest character. Therefore, Adalman found it too hard to believe. 「Oh well, it looks like he is acquainted with the person who calls himself Velda, so he might have some kind of old bond with her. 」Shion concluded so. No matter what was said, holding him back was unnecessary, as he was the enemy. After all, Shion would not forgive Velda-junk who had been raving nonsense like it was destroying his dearest master Rimuru. If Dagruel helps that guy, it's the same as telling Shion that you want to die, huh? . If it was old Shion, he would have gone and attacked himself and hit him with all his might.

「Fu. If you think about it, I also became knowledgeable. 」Shion smiled, he was satisfied with the growth of his heart. 「Eh? Shion-sama is not round at all? 」Because Debura shouted in shock, Shion hit her stomach with her hand as if she was going to gouge out her stomach. That's called a bottle-opening blow. 「Basic jerk ―― I'll kill you !!」 So, he spat out those words at Debura (third son) who was crouching on the ground. Debura is someone who no matter how much she eats, the nutrients just go to her side and never reach her brain. He is the number one among the three. 「Ha-this gift is――」 Debura had a cheerful smile on her face for a reason and then fainted. His two elder brothers who saw this were envious of him, the other two brothers were also stupid. Shion imagined cold sweat descending on his back. "It's scary" he thought. Slowly he began to have no need to hold back against them. If only judged by endurance, the three brothers would rank first without a doubt. In this world, there were truly terrifying people. In many different meanings. While Shion was thinking about this, he immediately turned his attention and glared at the Dagruel troops approaching in front of him. With a simple 『Magic Power Perception, he investigates Dagruel's forces. He felt some people with great energy. However, only a few of them are worth watching out for. If with his current strength, the enemy that he had to be careful to the extent that it did not exist. However, it is assuming that the result of 『Perception』 Magic Power is accurate. At least Demon Lord Dagruel seemed to be a martial artist who had fought one-on-one against Veldora in the past. Shion's perception had yet to be felt by anyone who had great power among the troops. It reminded him .. Suddenly Shion remembered it. That Veldora and Dagruel had talked about training to suppress their magic power. (No, that's not possible. It is not something that can be easily achieved. I wanted to think that .....) However, he felt it was possible when he thought about the growth speed of Dagruel's son and their stupid tenacity. 'I'll think about it when the time comes', so Shion made up her mind after she stopped thinking about it. Dagruel's men have shown their perfect appearance. Chain of Restraint Titan Army, total number of 100. 000. Shion's army was profitable in numbers. However, the quality may be lower. There's giant giants and Cyclops. Even big shots like some of the Hecatoncheires race from Titan. Different types of giants approached amidst the crowd. In Shion's honest impression, 'No matter how many bones there are, it doesn't matter, does it?' or so he thought. 「Oh dear, amazing view. It's probably a little harsh for my cute skeleton. 」「 Little? 」「 ..... somewhat, this is a bit difficult, but they have to somehow set it up. 」「 Ho .... . do you have a plan? 」「 Hmm, I can't say it's a plan, but Albert's command ability is pretty good. In addition, please look at it correctly. The Pawn Force Equipment is complete. 」Shion noticed it when Aldaman told her. Needless to say about the Death Knight, the Pawn Warrior was equipped with leather armor. It was a top quality item with Tempest marks and was made in the dwarf workshop.

「The enemy commander is approaching! Umm, if that person is named Dagruel, he might know about the details!」 He says that, and thus manages to turn Shion's anger against the enemy. Even at this time, with the matter regarding armor, he had almost ended up fighting with Shion, therefore he was afraid about whether he would take out the pawn Army armor. No, Adalman certainly thought that it was not strange to make a comparison about the quality of the equipment even though the Pawn Soldier was a small fry compared to the Elite Shion corps. Adalman was relieved that he was able to distract Shion. The tongue is the origin of disasters. Saying unnecessary things will only interest Shion, and thinking about them further can be dangerous, is what Adalman thinks. Therefore, he directed aggression towards the enemy, 「Alright, Shion-dono. Can I do an opening attack? 」He asked. He was worried that if he did what he wanted, after that there would be complaints from him. If Shion was the one who opened the battle, he would only be able to support. Since it was impossible for him to use a large-scale attack because he would hit his allies as well once the two forces collided. So if possible, he wants to be the one to open the battle, however..... . that is solely up to Shion's decision. 「Alright, I will allow you to do so. You better go berserk as you please! 」Shion gave temporary permission in high spirits, as the prospect of getting the equipment was in sight. Shion's cold eyes stared like a predator that had its prey visible. When Adalman heard Shion's words, 「Thank you very much. All righty! 」She bowed to Shion and moved to another place. Shion who saw that, laughed lightly. 'For the people who ridiculed the Great Demon King Rimuru, to die! And if by any chance Rimuru-sama is sealed, I will show that I will save him. “That was his mind. By the way, he was satisfied because he seemed to be able to update his subordinate's equipment and could also go wild against a suitable enemy. At the same time, in his mind, calculations with a cold head were being carried out. Although their numbers outnumbered those of the enemy, they were inferior in terms of quality. He should not look down on this battle. Worst-case scenario, even if he lost his entire army, he thought that it might be necessary to defeat Dagruel. In the sky and on the ground. Because when attacked from two sides, the defense will soon collapse if one side is defeated. Even in the worst case, this party should not be defeated at all. Shion carved that fact into his mind while talking to the fools and Adalman. Glancing at Dagura, Ryura, and Debura, the three who were Dagruel's sons, Shion thought further. How powerful is Dagruel, really? Dagruel seems to have two younger brothers as well, and their abilities are both unknown. They were opponents that he should not be careless about. Even so, the winner is me! Shion still smiled fearlessly. His smile cheered his allies and gave them strength. The battle will begin soon.
