Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 217: Vs Dagruel pt5

'It may be impossible ――' That honest impression of Demon Lord Ruminas Valentine. The plan was to kill Dagruel using his strongest technique in the first attack, but it had no effect. With Death's Blessing, a life-and-death reversing technique, Dagruel was supposed to die. However, the result was that the instant death effect was cancelled, and the secret technique of Ruminas was defeated. At the time, Ruminas was able to partially estimate that it would go something like this. The one-on-one battle between Albert and Grasword continues. The two did not even take a step back, it seemed to be an even fight. However, when the fight between the two was observed with Ultimate Skill 『Lustful Lord Asmosdeus』, the situation showed a different view. Against a Grasword that had a lot of energy, Albert distributed energy to every important point in his body. The decrease in their vitality was insignificant, but the difference in the aggregate number gave hints of the outcome of the battle. In other words, before Albert finished cutting the Grasword, the result would be decided. Albert's defeat, that's the situation. However, no one could criticize Albert. On the contrary, with his outstanding skill, he fought evenly against the sword king. If the difference in energy was not considered and only sword techniques were important, it could be said that superior Alberto. But even so, the situation has not changed. How things are going now, Albert's defeat is just a matter of time. On the other hand, the battle between Adalman and Fenn was also getting more intense. The young man with black hair who wore the priestly jet-black clothes towards the skinny, little giant who held Gleipnir. Adalman had possessed and joined the Death Dragon Wenti, and his energy had increased tremendously. However, even so, the difference was obvious because Fenn who was in front of Adalman could rival a True Dragon. For the Ruminas who could see vitality in numerical form, the difference was triggered by despair. Fighting against Fenn who was called the God of Fighters and the God of Boxing, for Adalman to survive this far was a miracle. In the rush of throwing, punching, and joint locks, it is clear that physical attacks are the main constituents. The connection key was meaningless, because for spiritual life forms, the physical damage would be fully recovered in an instant. He could barely modify the technique to perform throwing techniques to deal with and blow away opponents. However, in the end, the technique was to survive, Adalman could not hope Fenn would be damaged by the throw. In other words, he was just stalling. After Adalman understood his own loss, he fought with the aim of exhausting the enemy with a long fight and did not aim for victory. Nevertheless, he concentrated very hard like he was stepping on thin ice. In Ruminas's view, he could see the appearance of Adalman counteracting Fenn's attack by throwing away all of his defenses and manipulating his energy to concentrate on a point. To cover the difference in energy density, Adalman struggled with concentrating all of his strength at one point. It was already an ability that could be called a miracle. However, it won't continue for much longer, Ruminas thinks that it won't take long for Adalman to lose. And then, Shion. The woman who fought against Dagruel and stood many times in front of him. Her appearance reminds Ruminas of Hero Chloe who saved her in the past. Blood flowed out of his head without any sign of stopping. Even the wounds all over his body, gave birth to new wounds after healing. Shion's attack could not touch Dagruel, he was severely injured due to Dagruel's counterattack. Even so, Shion stood up, he continued to challenge Dagruel over and over again. 「Ah, Nee-san! Please stop that! 」「 Shion-sama! You can't win against our pops ―― 」「 This, it's dangerous. As of now, Shion-sama will .... 」Even the sons of Dagruel are initially nervous. However, will they break through their doubts in the middle of the battle and, 「Uooooooooo! Pops !! We will be your opponent! 」「 No other way. I'm ready for that! 」「 I will do it! And then, I will be praised! 」Just as stated in their determination, they went to face Dagruel. And right now, they were barely alive bearing serious injuries, lying on the ground while helpless to stand up. They are strong like a majin. That's why they live. But that's all. In front of Dagruel's absolute strength, it was all useless.

(This can't be true. There is no reason that we can win. Even I can only go so far huh―) In the ears of Ruminas who reached the stage of partial resignation, 「Princess, the preparation for the retreat has finished ――」 As the sound of whispers is heard. "The "Seven Celestial Sage" who led the attack seemed to have advanced the preparations for the stealthy hidden removal. They judged that there was no chance of winning in this war and tended to make their safety a priority. Of course ―― That's right, of course, if she was Rumina from before, she would retreat without hesitation. A thing like going to war with no chance of winning is nonsense. This country can be rebuilt, it's not something he needs to worry about. Ruminas and their relatives have eternal lives, there is no reason for them to bet their lives on it. However ―― (Am I going to really be okay? Is it the right course of action for me to withdraw from this place?) Ruminas. Shion could barely stand up because of Ruminas' support. He used his ability-enhancing skills, so that a serious injury near death would soon recover. . . . . . Increasing the regeneration power of Shion to the maximum limit is also one of the capabilities of Ruminas. If Ruminas were to retreat now, it would mean that Shion would soon die. (Leaving the front and running away alone? Such a thing, such an ungrateful act, I would never accept it! I'm proud of "The Queen of Nightmares", you know!!) And, Ruminas strengthened itself. 「I won't. I will not back down. If by any chance I get killed here, choose the next master of the seven nobles. I am one of the proud Octagrams. Things like running away ungrateful are not suitable for me. Don't you think so? 」She said so and grew a beautiful smile. An alluring smile that did not match the face of a young girl. "Seven Celestial Sage" who heard it opened wide in surprise instantly. Their master who was very concerned with life, surprised them with a booze. But at the same time, they are very conscious. That's right, it's no match for Demon Lord Ruminas Valentine who summoned the Queen of the Night to escape. Because she is a vampire princess who always acts gracefully and rules with dignity. 「I will not obey that order. ""Yes . 」「 At the time of your destruction, we will also follow. ““ Seven Celestial Sage ” disobey Ruminas command for the first time. Although he was surprised by that, it was not the unpleasant feeling that confused Ruminas. Far from it, it was a pleasant feeling. 「Fuu, you fool. Then, strengthen the barrier quickly! Hurry up, you fool !! 」Ruminas ordered it cheerfully. 『As your wish! Then, the city defense will be ―― 』「 so. Change the barrier attribute using the Sacred Demon Inversion technique. Don't let the angels attack the Holy City! As long as we buy time, Demon Lord Rimuru will send reinforcements! 」「 ―― Princess, do you believe in Demon Lord Rimuru ……? 」「 Huh! I don't trust him. But ―― There are people who believe in their master when fighting. Don't you think that action is worth believing in? 」As he said so," the Seven Heavenly Sages "turned their focus to the battlefield. How the subordinates of Demon Lord Rimuru fought could not be judged as merely stalling for time. In this situation, even they were betting their lives to buy time, although it was practically meaningless at all. It might make sense for their own country, but they had devoted their own lives to defending the territory of the allied country. Their actions were strong evidence they believed that their master would never abandon them. 「Indeed .... 'Trust' ―― Such a word, we have long forgotten it. 」「 Then, we will start the strategy. 」「 Good luck with you, Princess! 」

Bowing together, the "Seven Heavenly Sages" left. "Will it really be okay?" so Ruminas hesitated. But, he has no regrets. In front of him, Shion stood up once more. No matter how he was injured, he got up many times. "That's right, I, I have to do the only thing I can do!" and hence, at the moment Ruminas is trying to support Shion again— 「God, I have become an opponent because I feel a sign of awakening, but this is disappointing. Or ...... Because there are people defending you, can you calm down? If that is the case, I will first deal with your means of recovery. That way, you might grow a little. 」He heard Dagruel's voice muttering. It took a while for him to realize its meaning. 「St, stop!」 Shion screamed in panic, but he received Dagruel's punch and became silent. He didn't seem to be dead, but it was very unlikely for him to make a move. Glancing at him, Dagruel turned around and started walking towards Ruminas. Ruminas prepare themselves. 「Alright, Dagruel. I will be your next opponent! 」Ruminas puts himself on guard against Dagruel. The words he said to himself, he felt funny in his mind. Far from being an opponent, for Dagruel someone like Ruminas was the same as trash, so he thought. 「Fumu. As expected, Ruminas. The Demon King's pride wasn't just for show heh. 」For Dagruel's words, he laughed faintly. Such a thing as arrogance, he did not think about it at all. However, Ruminas only thinks that he does not want to betray Shion. (Sound. Unlike Chloe, I haven't hung out with her in a long time. Fighting against Dagruel even though there was no chance for me to win. Why didn't I run away? ―― Do I also believe? Someone will come to help. Such a thing, such a convenient thing, would not happen.) He looked and understood. Suddenly, the image of the selfish and carefree black dragon flashed through his mind. A smile floated naturally in his mouth. His appearance made Dagruel feel strange, but he ignored it without saying anything ―― 「Alright, HERE I GO!」 At the same time he shouted, his fist directed towards Ruminas. His soul froze in fear. However, Ruminas did not escape. Evasion is impossible. Realizing that, Ruminas ridiculed himself. (It's very different. Fight to the end. I was like a different person ....) But, there was no dissatisfaction, instead, he puffed his chest with pride. At least in the end he had his pride as a Demon King, and he could boast as he challenged the strongman without running away. At least, in his last moments, with his hands, the arrogant and hateful evil dragon was – Ruminas' mind then paused for a moment. It happened immediately before Dagruel's fist reached Ruminas. Time has stopped because of Velzard. Right now, right now. Something happened before Dagruel's hand reached Ruminas.

At the moment when Dagruel was about to answer Veldora's offer, there was someone who tried to stand up with a shocking gesture. It was Shion. His eyes were red, open wounds all over his body had yet to recover. However, it was strange that no blood was flowing out. While wearing a strange atmosphere, Shion actually stood up. "Hm?" so Dagruel looked at him, 「Shion, yes. You can move even in a world that stops ……? Hm, 『Iri』 seems to have disappeared. Here, I understand— ―― Veldora noticed something and stopped talking. Then as if interrupting his words, 「――Ve, Veldora-sama .....th, that person .... is my prey. Wo, will you hand him over to me? 」Shion asked Veldora while panting, using his sword as a stick to stand up. Veldora looked at him while narrowing her eyes, 「So, so good. I'll lend you a little of my strength. Fight well to fill your heart ,! 」He answered so. 「Th, thank you very much」 Shion seems ready to fall, so Veldora supports it. And, from where Veldora touched Shion, her energy flowed. 「Hu! Although I've said that I'll lend it to you, no fragments hold back from you, uh. (Perhaps, I should take it later from Rimuru .....) 」Veldora grumbled, looking tired while Shion's skin improved quickly. The wounds on his body healed, even his clothes, before anyone was conscious, had become like new. Dagruel raised one of his eyebrows tolerating it, standing still waiting for Shion's preparations to finish. Then―― 《Individual: Shion undergoes the evolution of abilities, Ultimate Skill 『Tyranny Lord Susanoo』 is obtained. 》 Unchanged even by the stopped world, "World Voice" sounded. It was the moment when Shion awakened the ultimate power. 「I keep you waiting. However, as you expected, I will give you some entertainment. 」「 Fumu. Then I'll accept your offer. 」The two nodded at each other happily and once again faced each other. In a world of stops where it is difficult to sense the presence of an opponent, the fight between Shion and Dagruel begins. Meanwhile ―― (It just so happened, it was my turn .....) Veldora was anxious about such a thing, no one noticed it.
