Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 233: Encroachment of Labyrinth pt7

Dino and Zegion.

The two of them fought Mad Evil Dragon Zero and swept away his attack.

Their first goal was to get out of the – maze in other words, get out of Zero's body.

"Although so, there is no end to this …"

Dino complains when destroying Zero's clone using Deep Bullet.

Zero, who has united completely with a separate labyrinth and gained his authority, can multiply himself indefinitely.

Each and every one of these clones had the same strength as Zero before and, on top of that, they bounced back.

Even if Dino and Zegion defeated the clones, the corpses would only regenerate again and that would mean nothing.

After all, as long as the labyrinth was part of Zero's main body, he could use as much energy as he wanted.

“Ability that releases energy is meaningless. The enemy will benefit from all of this. ”

Zegion warns Dino, while chopping Zero with his shiny fur.

His new skill, Collapsing Feather: Kuzuha, ******* the enemy uses vibrations from two wings.

By exerting a high frequency wave in a direction, it cuts through everything it touches.

Moreover, by becoming one with which Zegion was, he could change his properties according to the enemy.

Along with All Heaven Vision, by obtaining the means to attack in all directions, the Zegion now had no blind spot.

Although Zegion had gotten all of that, after meeting Dino, he had not used all of those magic-emitting abilities.

He faced Zero with a direct attack and a flank slash.

The reason behind that was because of the power of the labyrinth mentioned above.

Zegion was the strongest labyrinth guard and was well aware of his nature.

Dino's energy was enormous and exceeded Zegion's energy.

But while that may be true, it doesn't mean he never runs out of energy.

Although it wouldn't be a problem for him even if he used thousands of Deep Bullets, the situation became different when the enemy was able to absorb all of them as well.

"Are you serious? Then did Zero use the power of Ramiris' labyrinth only on her or something? "

Zegion replied silently nodding to Dino's question.

Seeing that, Dino was instantly depressed.

Zero was able to revive his clone until the labyrinth energy was exhausted.

All of this was Zero, moving under his solid will.

The only thing they have for them is that Zero's skill is not as good anymore as 'himself' collapsing.

However, the dragon species is still a dragon species.

Even when just looking at the energy, it was still a little more than Dino – it was absurd.

“Oi, Ramiris! Doesn't the labyrinth have weaknesses? They continue to resurrect no matter how many times we kill them !! ”

[Are you stupid ?! My labyrinth has no weak points!

It has an infinite floor and can even break contact with the outside world. It is impossible to escape!]

"Are you stupid? Don't air !! – wait, we made contact with you, didn't we? "

[Ahh, it–]

According to Ramiris' explanation, Mad Evil Dragon Zero's body, which was a labyrinth itself, was a completely isolated area.

No contact can be made, whether it be by telepathy or mind transmission, because space exists hyperspace.

However, since Rimuru had predicted this situation, his instructions for making the counter plan were perfect.

This time, they were able to make contact with the outside world through Zegion.

Using the Zegion and Rimuru's Soul Hallway, they could exchange information.

And this Soul Hallway was what would be the key to their escape from Mad Evil Dragon Zero's body.

"That means we don't walk aimlessly …"

Dino was relieved when she heard Ramiris' explanation because she was sick of passing through countless passages and still could not escape.

Dino's two swords cut through all the Zeros and tentacles that grew from the walls and floor.

The holy sword and the magic sword. The two swords had white and black aura around them.

To stop the energy emission, Dino switched to fighting style by covering his sword with his fighting spirit.

It seemed that he could easily repel all the attacks but that was only because of Dino's extremely high sword skills.

Although Zero did not have a 'self', he was still very dangerous as he continued to attack due to instinct.

It was only because Dino had such crazy strength that the enemy could not even get close.

The same could be said for his friend, Zegion.

In front, Zegion and Dino walked side by side, taking care of all the obstacles.

In the middle, Pico walks with Gaia and Gracia in charge of defending and alert against the back.

Saving as much energy as possible and dealing with an attack using only a sword was more difficult than they thought.

But even then, it was not like they were becoming tired or anything, they just felt that it was a mental disorder.

Dino thought that it would be better to stay and camp somewhere if it was useless to defeat the enemy but …

According to Ramiris, such actions are not in vain and are closest to reaching the outer wall.

In the first place, since they were in the opposing ring, which he could control as he pleased, staying in one place was not a smart idea.

[Well, that's how it is, so can you move to a designated site?]

“I understand. So, what do we do when we get there? ”

[You sent him flying. With your strongest attack, you escaped by breaking through the wall!]

“…. . Is that possible?"

[It doesn't matter whether you can or not, you just do it. There's no other way to escape, you know?]

“–Ah, so. ”

Dino judged that there was no point in asking further.

As long as Ramiris says they have to do it, they have to do it.

All that remains is whether they can do it.

Since the instructions were to use the strongest move, they might not need to consider energy consumption.

After all, as long as they passed through the walls, it would not matter if they lost a bit of energy.

Now the problem is how much energy is needed.

Dino thought about his abilities.

First, his Ultimate Skill: Belphegor, which he didn't even plan to acquire.

This is especially true in spiritual attacks.

By entering the Ultimate Belphegor Skill Perception Obstruction, he was able to strengthen that unknown greatsword into a phantasmagoric sword.

His affinity with the style of his two swords was even better.

However, its effect on someone in a berserk state like Zero would be low. It's a pity, but Belphegor would be useless.

He was also thinking of giving up all of his abilities at once but if he failed after doing that, there would be no other chance. Dino thinks it is better to keep it as his ace.

Then what should he do?

(I don't think I have any choice but to use it ..)

Dino sighed, as if she gave up and decided to use another ability that she wanted to keep hidden.

◇◇◇

Ramiris and the others in the control room also did their best to deal with this situation.

Since it was unclear whether Dino would turn against Velda, they were getting ready so it wouldn't be a problem.

If Dino joined forces or decided to be eaten by Zero, they had planned to dispose of the separate Labyrinth to the 'Infinite Corridor'.

But now that Dino was an ally, they had to safely remove him from Zero's body.

If it was only Zegion, they planned to use the 'Soul's Hallway' to forcibly remove him from there.

They could take it out even if he broke through the wall for a moment.

But when Dino and his allies need to escape as well, a huge hole must be made in the wall.

It is dangerous to move them in an unstable situation.

It wouldn't be a problem if it was just Dino as well. But since Pico and Gracia also needed to escape and they were weaker than Zegion and Dino, it was uncertain whether they would be able to endure the journey between hyperspace.

So, they need to make the situation full proof.

Besides, there's another problem.

It was a fact that Zero had evolved into a dragon species.

Even though they were told by Rimuru about the possibility of it happening, since the info was completely blurred, since 'Hmm, might it be alright?', they didn't think too much about it.

And thus, they had decided that if by any chance such a situation happened, they would contact Rimuru immediately.

Therefore, when Ramiris guided Zegion and the others, Benimaru contacted Rimuru.

And like this, the people in the control room continued to work according to the manual that was decided at the beginning.

"Kufufuf. Thinking of a new 'dragon species' would actually be born.

As expected of Rimuru-sama, it seems like you have seen it all. ”

Inside the control room, a joyful laughter resounded.

It seems like he came after being ordered by Rimuru.

He instructed the people, who were frantically getting up from their seats looking at him, to continue working with his hands.

Looks like the demon operators are still a little afraid of Diablo.

"Ou, Diablo. You are fast . ”

"Of course .

It wouldn't be a problem if Zero's evolution stopped after fusing with the labyrinth but …

Now that he has become a new species of dragon, we cannot leave him alone. ”

"That's right . Although I have heard that it is a possibility, it is still surprising …

And Rimuru-sama predicted so far, too. As expected of him. ”

"What did you say? This is normal for him.

More importantly, Benimaru-dono, it seems that your recovery rate is still not enough.

I will give away some of my energy. ”

"Oh, that'll help. I just think that my recovery will not be enough if we defeat him. ”

Benimaru's cure hasn't even reached half that.

So Diablo offered his own energy.

It was not a method that anyone could use, but since Diablo could control Rimuru's Turn Null (Nothingness Collapse) energy, it was possible for him.

Looking at the two, Ramiris said,

"The only people here who can move in that space are Diablo, Zegion and Benimaru.

Benimaru, you can use space-time control properly, right? ”

"It's okay, Ramiris-sama. Even though I just mastered it. ”

"Good! We have all the members?

We might have to call the master or Rimuru if Dino doesn't switch positions. ”

“Veldora-sama may be busy at the moment. He might not have time for that. ”

“I understand ~ Then, I guess you guys just have to work hard.

It would be very bad if Dino was unconscious, ”

"Kufufuf. That was also exactly as planned.

Rimuru-sama is sure Dino-sama will join him, you know? ”

“As expected of Rimuru. Well, I also believe that Dino will change his mind! ”

Even when Ramiris and Diablo had such a conversation, the others did not rest.

And finally, the preparation is done.

“Well, are the preparations finished? Let's review the last plan ~ !! ”

Along with Ramiris's orders, the final plan went ahead.

◇◇◇

Dino and the others had reached the area that Ramiris had ordered them to.

All that remains now is to act with the signal.

Ramiris started to explain to them.

[Listen well, okay? We will ask you to flee the area first.

It will be fine if you only use mid-level strength to break through the walls.

Then, Dino and Zegion, you will protect the other two and Gaia with your barrier and jump out of there.

After that, you will destroy the annoying dragon and return!]

Dino just stood there empty.

He couldn't understand what he was saying.

-medium? What does that mean?

—Destroy that shitty dragon? There is no idea .

"Oi. Oi oi oi oi! Waita minute!

Whatisthis? You don't think of me as one of the dragon subjugation members, do you ?! ”

He also wanted to ask about the medium but the dragon conquest was more of a problem.

Frantically Dino objected, that she did not want to be on the dragon subjugation team.

However, it is impossible to work with Ramiris.

[You, you,

You'll kneel before me for forgiveness, won't you?

If you don't get the points here, who knows what will happen …

You can imagine what could happen, right?]

Dino had no choice but to give up.

Aside from not being able to win in a dispute with him for a long time, he was also not in a position to complain this time around.

Dino broke herself with tears.

"I got it . So, what do you mean by intermediate level energy? "

[You don't even understand that?

That means not going all out but still using the energy to make a hole in the wall!]

"Wait on! It was as if I could understand such vague instructions …

After all, didn't you just say to come out for a while ?! ”

[Ah— geez! You are so annoying with these trivial things …

Don't worry about it, just make a hole in the wall and take it off.

Save some strength for a super strong all-out attack to destroy the evil dragon after you get out, okay!?]

In short, the intent was to make a hole in the wall while saving enough energy to attack the dragon, Dino thought.

(Good, irresponsible people. Even though I shouldn't have said that.)

It seemed like these two somewhat similar creatures could agree to something, surprisingly.

"Well then, let's escape quickly!"

Dino casually took a stance.

Now, all they needed to do was match their time and break through the wall.

[You have to protect the two of them with your barrier, understand?

Otherwise, who knew where they would end up after being swallowed by the hyperspace!]

Dino nodded.

Other than the Zegion, which was connected to the Soul's Hallway, the others didn't really have a foothold in hyperspace.

Even so, Dino could somehow make it but Pico and Gracia would probably be easily swallowed by the hyperspace.

If they are stuck by the hyperspace phase difference, there is no determination of where their dimensions might end.

Since this world can even bend the flow of time, it is important for them to reach the right location there.

Even awakened-level demon lords Pico and Gracia would have difficulty maintaining their existence in hyperspace.

The lowest requirement for this is to be able to control space-time.

It was the ultimate ability that even Benimaru had recently learned.

“Listen, you guys might not be able to move in hyperspace.

So hold on tight to me, okay? Think that you can't come back if you drift. ”

"Understanding . We may not die, but we certainly do not know where we will end up. ”

"Dino, I believe you. ”

"Make it to me . We have to go all the way because we've come this far. ”

At that moment, Zegion took out a certain object from the 'Space Storehouse' and handed it over to Dino.

"Hand this . ”

Dino picked it up when she was overwhelmed by Zegion, not letting him talk back.

It was a small round ball.

"Hmm? Isn't this what Rimuru used to play around? "

It seemed that he had no intention of answering.

"Well, it's okay, I guess .." Dino grumbled and put it in her pocket, looking rather sad.

Preparations complete.

Escape is not the end, there is also work to be done after that.

Dino, who really understood that, noticed not to misallocate his energy.

Then-then

With Ramiris' signal, the four of them inside Zero unleashed their power.
