Tensei Shitara Slime Datta

Chapter 234: Encroachment of Labyrinth pt8

Dino has a hidden ability.

One of the oldest Ultimate Skills, Fallen King Lucifer.

His strength was a mixture of King Lucifer Prideful Guy and Demon King Wrathful Milim.

However, compared to Guy and Milim's abilities, his abilities were inferior.

Therefore, Dino understood that the Fallen King Lucifer would have no meaning in front of Guy and Milim.

Dino, who was a trusted friend of Star King Dragon Veldanava.

Always by his side, Dino rushed into the battlefield as his sword.

That was when his name as the strongest swordsman was established.

And then, the world was conquered and the war had disappeared from the surface.

After that, he was entrusted with the role of world guardian by Veldanava, which led him to travel all over the world.

However

As if aiming for a moment when Dino was not around, his master, Veldanava, left this world.

And with him, his beloved wife, Lucia, too.

Outraged, Dino obliterates the foolish country.

It was at that moment that he obtained the Ultimate Skill: The Fallen King Lucifer.

The Ultimate Skill given to him by Veldanava previously, Prideful King Lucifer, had turned into this.

With overwhelming hatred and anger, Dino brings destruction to the world.

Unperceived by Demon Lord Guy, he got his revenge.

But, such a thing would not make Dino feel better.

He had been thinking of destroying the world itself but after remembering Milim, the son of Veldanava and the son of Lucia, he suppressed his raging heart.

A few thousand years after that.

Even after losing sight of its meaning in life, Dino continues to play the role of guardian of the world.

Although his role only consisted of him living like a slacker and sometimes receiving reports from his two subordinates.

He had only become a Demon King to obtain information.

The only meaning of his life now is to protect Milim from the shadows.

Even back then, she had no direct contact with him, nor did she plan on accepting him as her master but …

Later, when Milim is hit by a lowly like Clayman, something changes in Dino.

The unique skill he had unknowingly acquired, Sloth, had turned into Slothful Ultimate Skill Slothful King Belphegor.

The unique skill Sloth gained by Dino by continuing his lazy lifestyle was the ability to make the target fall into depravity.

As he finally gained such a skill, Dino thought about using it.

In order to pass the time and tease Dagrule, he plays around to make Dagrule fall into depravity by using his unique Sloth skill.

Dino pitied Dagrule because she was the same as him, having lost the master they swore allegiance to — so, another reason behind Dino using a unique skill on her was to free her from that feeling.

It was a completely unexpected event, for that skill to evolve into an Ultimate Skill by using it like that.

However

His ability of acquiring this skill would cause a change in his fate.

–Is it just a coincidence, or perhaps, the fate–

Beings that possessed angel skills could not resist the hidden ability of the Ultimate Skill: Justice King Michael.

The only possibility to reject it was to compensate for the angel skills by possessing demonic skills.

Although it had changed, Fallen King Lucifer was still an angelic skill so it could not escape the absolute orders of Justice King Michael.

But, at this moment,

Here, in the labyrinth Ramiris has been created, the,

The moment he activated the Ultimate Skill-Fallen King Lucifer that he had sealed for a long time,

Dino's aware.

(Ahh, so so. Angel skill is marker for mind control–)

Unlike the free demon skills, the angels were systematic.

It was programmed to make them obey superior beings.

Dino, who had more power to resist manipulation as he fell, is now fully freed from the commando curse after entering a separate room.

And, once he escapes, he won't be trapped again.

Dino had now compensated his Lucen King Fallen with the Slothful King Belphegor and had completely escaped control.

◇◇◇

Penetrating through the outer wall of the labyrinth, Dino had jumped out into a separate room.

Once outside of the labyrinth, after feeling a trace of mind manipulation, he had already finished taking countermeasures with Slothful King Belphegor for Justice Control of the thought of King Michael using the Fallen King Lucifer.

Despite his rotten character, Dino is still fast at work.

It's not that he can't work, he just won't.

It was a man named Dino – when needed, he finished his task as quickly as possible.

Although, it goes without saying that the best outcome for him is not to work at all.

However, unfortunately for Dino, his fate has been forced with many different roles.

[Good work! Now there is something else you need to do!]

Even though he was separated from Zegion, he could hear Ramiris.

In other words, he had fully managed to escape Zero's body.

It seemed like the other two were already in a state of alert so Zegion quickly went to the designated location.

They could feel the presence of two beings who had energies exceeding the strength of the awakened demon lords.

The three including the Zegion stand in such a way that they make an equilateral triangle.

(Diablo and Benimaru, eh?

—These people ... is it just me or is their energy even greater than before?)

Even though he thought so, he did not feel energetic enough to retaliate.

Dino quickly understood the plan's purpose and its role in it.

It was to annihilate Zero with the strongest move.

Since exterminating the dragon species was not easy, Dino thought it was impossible to destroy it completely but.

Dino also went to his designated position.

It was a ritual that required four people.

With two, it would be one-dimensional by connecting two points.

By three, it will be two-dimensional by drawing a surface.

With four, it would become three-dimensional by forming space.

That is, it was a dimensional magic circle that far exceeded a laminate-type magic circle …

And thus, attaching Mad Evil Dragon Zero, an ordinary tetrahedron was formed.

With each of them at the knot, Zero is trapped in the Ultimate Barrier.

"Kufufufufu, as expected of Demon King Dino-sama. It helps that you are very responsive. ”

"Oh, yuck. No need for honor, Diablo. ”

"Is that so? I'm saying it without a speck of honor to you, so I think it's fine if you're not worried about it. ”

“Don't joke with me! That's worse !! It's just sarcasm at this point, isn't it? ”

“That's enough. Let's get this over with. ”*

"Absolutely. Joke everything you want later. ”

"Eh, am I wrong here?" Dino refrained from saying it out loud.

After all, it would be useless even if he did and worse, it might make Zegion even more furious.

Dino already felt that Zegion would be someone difficult to deal with.

“Alright, Dino-dono. We will leave the main steps for you. We will arrange our time with yours. "Say Diablo.

Benimaru and Zegion did not mind.

If it was just the three of them, they would be able to adjust their time perfectly but it would be difficult to ask Dino.

So, they took a stance using their movements, following Dino.

Dino has no complaints about that.

In fact, he felt relieved that they were not asking for anything unreasonable, like telling him to synchronize with them.

"Understanding . I will leave at full strength! "

Shouted Dino, and sharpened his mind to concentrate on unleashing the strongest attacks.

His six pairs of wings shone as he focused all the spiritual and magical energy from the surroundings into the double-sword

"The Fallen Crusade !!"

And so, white light blades and black shadows shot out.

They beautifully intersect inside the tetrahedral.

The ultimate and colorless light filled the main barrier.

However, the attack on Mad Evil Dragon Zero did not end there.

When Dino's attack intersected–

"The End of the World !!"

"Dimension Storm !!"

"Important Acceleration !!"

So, all their super special attacks were launched.

With a very good timing, all the attacks reached the tetrahedral center along with the Dino attack.

Collisions generate a huge amount of destructive power, the largest since the beginning of the universe.

The disaster of destruction filled the main barrier, which was formed to not let the energy out.

—-Quartan Skill: Breakdown Nostalgia—-

The four abilities fuse into one and produce supreme destruction.

The best thing is that it is a separate room.

After all, even though it was within the main barrier, the waves that would leak from it would be enough to destroy the surface.

With the skills of a quartet of the four most top beings in this world, the synergy between skills had produced unimaginable results.

◇◇◇

Everyone who saw the spectacle remained silent.

Except one guy.

“Kufufu, kuha, kuhahaha! Just incredible! What a great power !!

However, even more amazing is the dragon species.

After all, even such a power could not completely annihilate it– ”

Laughing loudly, Diablo analyzed the situation calmly.

And as he said, in the middle of the tetrahedral, only the dragon core remained.

It was a mysterious sphere, emitting a sharp radiance.

Everyone there was fascinated by the neighborhood.

And that leads to negligence.

Mad Evil Dragon Zero, with his last breath, tried to at least take them with him.

If even one corner of the tetrahedron collapses, the explosive force trapped in the main barrier will be released and everyone there will be dragged – that is the calculation.

Although Zero's instincts were not aware of it, if he were to succeed, it would also greatly affect Ramiris' labyrinth.

As her evil instincts commanded, Zero used her final strength to stretch out one of her tentacles.

In front of the tentacles were Dino, Pico and Gracia.

"Th-"

Gracia reacts the quickest – she pulls Pico towards her and throws him at Dino.

He protects Pico from the tentacles with his body but that is his limit.

As the tentacle grabbed Gracia, it dragged her into the main barrier.

Pico lost his balance and from his arm, Gaia jumped out towards Gracia shouting 'Kyuuii–!' .

Everything happens at a glance.

"Grace!"

Even though he shouted, Dino could not move.

Because he understood that the main barrier would collapse if he made a move now.

"I'll-!"

"Stop! You will be obliterated if you enter it– ”

Dino stops Pico, who will jump in.

The strength within was not something he could withstand.

He knew that if he did that, he would eventually lose her as well.

"Damn! If only I hadn't let my guard down .. ”

He was sorry but there was nothing to do.

He had no choice but to give up.

"But, then, Gracia will .. and Rimuru-sama's pet will also …"

Pico tried to plead with Dino.

But even Pico understood.

That nothing can be done.

"This ... I don't like this .. Diinooo– !!"

Just one .

If there was one way to do it, it would be–

Gracia would not last long if she was pulled into the middle.

Relaxed. I'll just go and save him! "

"But, it'll–"

"Trust me . There is no time so let's start right away. ”

Dino forcibly started acting.

Even though his own tentacles had already disappeared, Dino would not be able to reach Gracia's place with his own strength.

After all, the power brought by the quartet skill was covered in the main barrier, focusing in the middle.

It produced an incredible pull towards the middle, making everything forgettable.

To escape from there, one must exceed the speed of light, which is theoretically impossible.

Since the space here had been distorted in such a way, using teleportation was also out of the question as it required a stable space.

There is no time to survive.

As he gets closer to the center, the burden on Gracia will get bigger and bigger.

It was only because he was on the same level as the awakened demon lord and specialized in defense that he could withstand the barrier.

“Alright, hold your senses. Transfer, start– ”

“No need for that. ”

Just as Dino was about to start transferring his power to Pico, a voice rang out from Dino's pocket.

It was a small round ball, emitting a bright light.

It was the ball Rimuru used to play, which Dino received before the plan from Zegion.

As if hovering, the ball floated in a separate space and shone intensely for a moment.

And then materialized, the human form resembled the shape of a girl.

It appeared suddenly in front of Dino, with bluish silver hair.

And then, that fellow patted Dino on the shoulder lightly saying, 'Mm, alright then, I will return in a moment' and soar towards the main barrier.

◇◇◇

Gracia recalled the events in her life like a spinning lantern.

He protects Pico and is captured by the tentacles.

At that moment, he gave up on his life.

After all, he could not imagine surviving a vortex of extremely high density energy that could even destroy a dragon, as he was only one fallen angel of the awakened demon grade level.

As she approached the center, the burden on Gracia's body continued to increase.

The reason he could still hold on to her was because the little dragon was holding onto her, Gaia.

Gaia supported Gracia's defensive barrier by shaving her own body and could barely neutralize the destructive energy.

But it's also just a matter of time.

The quartet's skills are used by the four strongest beings in this world.

That skill had produced an enormous destructive power, which this world had never felt before.

Gracia's senses couldn't even understand its size.

"You're a fool, aren't you? There is no need for you to come with me …

Too bad but I can't save you anymore– ”

"Kyuui?"

Gracia muttered and stroked Gaia who was clinging to her chest.

And just like that, calmly accepting death, he quietly waited for the final moment that was about to come …

But moments like that did not come.

In consequence of

————————-

(PN: This is the Rimuru perspective)

Just as big as a hair.

If Ciel was a little late in producing that new ability, they would lose Gaia.

If that happens, who knows how angry Milim is.

I shiver just thinking about it.

Not to mention Dino trying to jump to save them – talks about being careless.

It didn't matter that there were two demon god-level beings awakened. There was no way they could exceed the speed of light.

After all, there was no meaning reaching even 99.9% of the speed of light in front of the black hole …

They might be able to escape if he reached them before the two of them reached the center but it was a very risky gamble.

It's not something you can help with just willpower.

Then, if it's me, can I do something?

It was obvious but even I could not move at a speed faster than light.

But even then, the reason why I can say that it will be fine is very simple.

If I just stop time, there is no need to think about speed.

Doing so, I was able to move at a faster speed than light at will.

But even that is not necessary at this time.

My Null turn using the destruction of voidness can neutralize it to some extent.

It converts everything that touches the barrier into zero energy and accepts it.

That's the special characteristic of Turn Null.

I will not run away, I will endure it until the end. That's the only way.

Well, if by any chance it fails, I'll be fine.

After all, the new skill that Ciel developed, 'Double Existence', was put into the Supreme Skill, the Void God Azathoth.

This is the ability that Ciel created after analyzing the Ultimate Skill: Evil Dragon Lord Aji Dahaka but with this, I can now produce a connected clone.

Thanks to this ability, I don't need to be careful anymore with Velda.

I came out like this but I don't think Velda can feel me here in a separate room.

Thinking of all the possibilities, I could not possibly be weak.

But that's not a problem now.

Even if he sensed me and isolated Ramiris' labyrinth, my clone who could be said to be my true body would still remain in a separate room.

In case he isolates the labyrinth, there is a possibility that the connection between my clones will be cut off but if that happens, it will be easy to find it by searching from both ends.

After all, we are the same creature.

It's a strange feeling but I can also think simultaneously with both bodies without any difficulty and can perform different tasks without any problems.

It wasn't the half-baked ability Vega used. As long as the 'Double Existence' Ciel was created, it could be said that annihilating me had become extremely difficult.

All my different existences are connected through Soul's Hallway.

Well, even though I said that, I am still in the training stage and cannot exist like this unless I use the ball as the core.

Either way, I will probably be able to use it easily right away if I continue to practice.

So, even if I were to die by chance, only the ball would be destroyed.

I needed to think of a way to calm Milim down in that case, but that was another story.

"You … !?"

The other creatures I saved besides Gaia, an ally of Dino Gracia, looked at me with an astonished expression.

I thought I knew him, but this was probably the first time I met him in person.

“Mm, ah, nice to meet you? I am Demon Lord Rimuru. ”

I greeted him inside the barrier.

Gracia looked like she was at a loss for words and could not speak properly.

Is he nervous? Well, it's okay.

I can take Gaia and Gracia safely so all that is left is to wait for this storm to calm down.

As I took a breath thinking that, I noticed the dragon core in the middle of the tetrahedron.

“If we have it, you might be able to turn into a native dragon species. ”

It was my fault, I said that to Gaia, who was detained by Gracia.

I don't really plan to do it or anything.

But even so–

"Kyuuii– !!"

And with an energetic scream, Gaia jumped out of my barrier.

"You-you!"

I called but it was too late.

By the time my voice came out, Gaia was already out of the barrier.

And then, after being exposed to the high density energy outside the barrier, he decomposed in an instant.

The ball representing Gaia broke.

It means Gaia has been destroyed.

[As expected of the Master. You think the same thing as me. ]

How could I apologize to Mil — while I quickly thought of that, I could hear Ciel's quiet voice.

What is Ciel talking about?

Even though I have such doubts, it can't help.

It seems like I guided Gaia to suicide, but I didn't mean for it, but I don't think it's something that can be forgiven, right?

There was no way he would actually turn into a real dragon …

Wai – is there ?!

As I thought about it, the dragon core in the middle of the tetrahedron shone and flickered.

[You're aware of the fact that dragons don't really disappear, right?

Zero, who had become a crazy evil dragon was also the same.

He would only be reborn somewhere on Earth and carry out the orders given to him by Velda.

That was why Velda created a fake core, using the Evil Dragon God Aji Dahaka.

However, the result would be different if a new 'heart' appeared there.

Gaia, who had some dragon elements, met the criteria for it. ]

When Ciel finished explaining, as if to prove the truth, a miracle happened outside the barrier.

Simply put, Gaia turned into an actual dragon.

I was just joking but the reality was terrifying.

Just like the phrase 'Truth comes out of falsehood', the things I say actually turn into reality.

Although Gaia unraveled in an instant, her will of – her heart reached the dragon core.

It seems he can control it.

All that was left was to remove the crazy part from her with Ciel's help.

All the raging energies were suppressed and one beautiful blue dragon had materialized.

Excluding me, I guess he is the 5th dragon. After all, I'm not a dragon species.

Blue, shining body.

The light was even more beautiful than the jewels.

Unlike Veldora and the others, it had a long and slender shape like an eastern dragon.

Is that Veldora's sister or brother?

After all, having a sibling was a happy thing for him.

"Kyuuii– !!"

Gaia happily screamed.

It seems he can't talk yet.

He will probably gain wisdom and knowledge very quickly, but I guess he has just been born now.

“Haha, thought it would work. Good job, Gaia!

Ah, right, since this is quite special, I will also think of a second name for you. ”

Veldora was the Storm Dragon and Velgrynd was the Scorched Dragon.

If she was their younger brother or sister, Gaia would also have to have an official title.

Ah, true–

“Alright, I've decided. From today onwards, you are an Earth Emperor Dragon!

And since you're Veldora's brother, it'll be fine like Earth Emperor Dragon Velgaia, I guess? ”

And in an instant, I casually named it.

That was when the fifth dragon, the Earth Dragon Velgaia was born.

The destructive energy disappeared from the surroundings and so did the main barrier.

A beautiful dragon was born and the threat had disappeared.

Diablo, Benimaru, Zegion and Dino and the others.

I saw everyone rushing towards me.

However,

Just named Gaia, I lost a lot of mana and it became difficult to maintain my form—

"This is also thought to give the name, eh …?"

[–View clearly ..]

With Ciel's irritated words in the end, I made sure that my relationship with the ball was lost.

* LOL! I guess when you're an immortal demon lord, sarcasm is the only thing that doesn't stale.
